Can Harvard Be Reformed?

Making the rounds of Harvard graduates is an email from an alumnus of Harvard (the oldest college in America) asking pertinent and penetrating questions, some of which are below. It may be that the email was sent only to Harvard graduates; it deserves much wider circulation. Seven of the questions are below. Why do you insist on paying Claudine Gay, an actual serial plagiarist who was forced to resign, a salary of $900,000 a year? Why should Claudine Gay, of all people, be teaching a class on leadership, using Harvard as a case study?

Extremely doubtful unless 100% of the staff is fired and never rehired.

Elise Stefanik was on the Ruthless podcast today. She has written a book "Poison Ivies" about all that has gone wrong at the most prestigious colleges. She herself is a Harvard graduate, but says she would never send her child there.

yes, I did not vote in the Board of Overseers election this time because I know that those who have leadership now have a death grip on these elections, and considering what happened last year, clearly are permitting no candidates likely to challenge them. They have indeed destroyed it - not exactly by their politics but by thinking it is a wise and good thing to cling to power and shove your opinions as hard as you can at everyone and shut out the morons who don' t agree with you. Penny Pritzker, looking at you. fwiw i was 4th generation Harvard, two great grandfathers, whole thing. Ah well. Truth. Perhaps best sought elsewhere. Truth. Let go of all else.

After years of the Southern Poverty Law Center demanding that charitable foundations blacklist conservative and Christian nonprofits, the shoe is finally on the other foot: Fidelity Charitable has denied contributions to the SPLC. Fidelity hasn’t targeted the SPLC for ideological reasons in the same way the SPLC targets conservatives, however—America’s largest sponsor of donor-advised funds is merely following its own policies regarding nonprofits under criminal investigation.first reported, Fidelity cut off grants to the SPLC from its customers, who have more than 350,000 donor-advised funds—charitable giving accounts that allow them to maximize tax savings while supporting eligible nonprofits.

Blind spot: Media amplified white supremacy
narrative as SPLC funded Charlottesville organizer

In the wake of the Charlottesville rally in August 2017, the media relied on Southern Poverty Law Center experts to explain an apparent rise in white supremacy in America after Donald Trump’s election. But, while SPLC’s experts helped the media understand America’s racism problem after the rally, it was allegedly funding an organizer of the event, a member of a racist group prone to extremism. At the same time it was double-dipping, the Charlottesville rally launched SPLC’s credibility to new heights and boosted its fundraising hauls.

President Donald Trump said his call Wednesday with Russian President Vladimir Putin included an offer for Russia to help with the conflict in Iran and the enrichment of uranium, which he declined in hopes of getting the war in Ukraine to end instead. The president expressed confidence that a resolution to the Russia-Ukraine war could come “relatively quickly” after the call or that a ceasefire could take place while Russia hosts its Victory Day celebrations on May 9.

Republicans see a clear win in Wednesday’s Supreme Court decision striking down Louisiana’s congressional maps and that victory could keep them in control of the House after November’s election. The Supreme Court, in a major decision, struck down Louisiana’s majority-black House district and weakened the Voting Rights Act, giving Republicans a chance to rewrite the congressional maps, particularly in Southern states. As a result, Republican-led states could eliminate black and Latino electoral districts. And some strategists are arguing it’s time for the party to get aggressive to keep the House in control and protect President Trump’s agenda. Some black lawmakers are already worried they’ll be a target in this year’s election.

Former Democrat Rep. Barney Frank has entered hospice care. Barney Frank, 86, is in hospice care at his home in Maine, where he resides with his husband. Frank is suffering from congestive heart failure. Barney Frank was one of the Democrat Reps who authored the Dodd-Frank bill, which was put in place after the 2008 bank crash. The government arguably caused the failure and then turned around and put in a massive amount of regulations in response to the failure. The Dodd-Frank bill put enormous strain on smaller banks, and eventually, some of the regulations were rolled back. Ironically, Barney Frank sat on the board of Signature Bank,

Republicans took a bold stand against the radical left’s sacred cow: the so-called Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. The hearing exposed how the Biden DOJ weaponized this law as a club to smash pro-life Americans while turning a blind eye to violent attacks on pregnancy resource centers and churches. Freshman Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) delivered one of the most uncomfortable moments for the abortion lobby in recent memory. Gill directly confronted Jessica Waters, Assistant Professor of Justice, Law & Criminology and a vocal advocate for abortion access, asking which BARBARIC abortion method she preferred.

In the wake of the latest attempt by garbage leftist idiots to murder President Donald Trump, prominent leftists are deflecting, descending into nearly psychotic redirection, or trying to shift the blame to Trump himself, even after promising to wage war on the president and joking about watching his wife become a widow. Impotent, mindless, and based in fantasy, leftist culture is a violent and childish culture, sowing ruin but pretending innocence. The Law of Merited Impossibility is undefeated as a concept: We absolutely didn’t try to kill you, and you deserve our efforts to kill you. The old Babylon Bee joke headline still lands: “Trump Indicted For Inciting Assassination Attempt.”

Two people have been indicted on federal charges related to the attack on TPUSA reporter Savanah Hernandez. TPUSA reporter Savanah Hernandez was brutally assaulted earlier this month at the Whipple ICE facility in Minneapolis. “I am extremely grateful to the DOJ and FBI for how swiftly they handled this case. I have been assaulted by violent left wing activists multiple times and there has never been a response, so to see the FBI and the justice system utilized to fight back against left wing violence is extremely appreciated,” Savanah Hernandez said in a statement to The Gateway Pundit.

Arsonists targeted Nigel Farage by pushing a firebomb through the letterbox of his home, the Reform Party leader has revealed. The Mail has more. Farage, 62, said the petrol bomb fortunately burnt out before causing any significant damage during the incident last year. He has labelled the event as an “outright arson attempt”. Farage recalled how the attack, which came at the start of 2025, occurred while he was not inside the property – with the politician discovering the damage only when he opened his front door. Police have investigated, but as yet no suspects have been identified.

For a liberal democracy with an educated population, we’re in a curious position: everybody is talking about something nobody knows anything about! I’m referring to digital ID and the fact the Government hasn’t put its plans in writing. As a result, most of the discussion is highly speculative: a mixture of hopes – ‘it’s nothing to worry about’ – and fears – ‘it’s a digital prison’. Yet the digital ID consultation, which runs until May 5th, contains significant pieces of information which, along with insights from experts giving evidence to the Home Affairs Parliamentary Committee, forms a clear picture of the Government’s intentions.

California’s bullet train can’t catch a break. The state’s High-Speed Rail Authority board punted a vote Wednesday on its long-awaited business plan — after it was revealed that the project’s cost had ballooned to a staggering $231 billion. Lawmakers and budget hawks have ripped the Los Angeles-to-San Francisco train project as incomplete, opaque and possibly illegal, with the authority moving to delay a vote until next month. Two days earlier at a tense Senate Transportation Committee, government watchdogs in the Legislative Analyst’s Office warned that the plan doesn’t meet basic legal requirements after new station locations were proposed. Ian Choudri, CEO of the High-Speed Rail Authority, promised to provide

That the Japanese will not allow pro-jihad, pro-Sharia elements to take over their country in the name of diversity and political correctness is clearly evident from a wave of viral videos showing large crowds in Fujisawa taking to the streets to oppose a proposed mosque project which is expected to be one of the largest mosques in the area. At the heart of the strong resistance that thousands of Japanese participating in these demonstrations have shown are multiple practical and socio-cultural implications, including traffic congestion during prayer times and potential noise disturbances. These are all valid concerns, as Muslims across the globe are

Woke Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., lashed out at a LindellTV reporter when pressed about massive discrepancies in her congressional financial disclosure forms, which once listed her net worth as high as $30 million before an amended filing reduced it to under $95,000. In a hallway exchange captured on video, the reporter reminded Omar that she had previously called her “stupid” for asking about the filing and asked how she could make “such a big mistake,” prompting Omar to reply, “I still think you’re stupid for asking me anything.” When the journalist pressed for an explanation for LindellTV’s audience and “the American people,” Omar snapped, “I don’t want to tell you jack s—t.

We’re in the eighth week of the Iran waropens in a new tab, and things are starting to heat up even though there’s not kinetic action. What do I mean by heating up? The Iranian government has ceased to exist. We don’t know, and the Iranians don’t know who holds power. There is the Islamic Revolutionary Guard. There is the theocracy, there is the elected people in Parliament, and there is a regular military. And those four groups operate in schizophrenic fashion. By the same token, sometimes they give off signals that they would like to negotiate because that is predicated on popular resistance.

In a skit last Thursday, ABC’s late-night host Jimmy Kimmel pretended to be the host of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and remarked of Melania Trump, “You have a glow like an expectant widow.” Given that President Trump had already survived two assassination attempts, it was tasteless even at the time. But the remark aged even more poorly when a third aspiring assassin crashed the actual event days later.In a rare statement, the understandably shaken first lady condemned Kimmel, saying, “His monologue about my family isn’t comedy — his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.”

The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday struck down Louisiana's congressional map in Louisiana v. Callais, finding that the state's second majority-Black district violated the Equal Protection Clause.In the 6-3 decision, Justice Samuel Alito wrote the majority opinion, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett. The court held that the Voting Rights Act did not require Louisiana to draw a second majority-minority district. Without that requirement, the state had no compelling reason to use race in drawing its lines. SB8, enacted in 2024, created a District 6 stretching roughly 250 miles from Shreveport through Alexandria and Lafayette to Baton Rouge.

He breaks rules like this, and people often love him or hate him for it, and he seems to relish every minute of it.

The Federal Reserve is reported to be historically apolitical, meaning all considerations are absent of politics. However, no individual Federal Reserve Chairman has been more overtly political than Jerome Powell. Today, after announcing yet again the Fed will not lower interest rates, Chairman Jerome Powell announced he will not leave the board of the federal reserve even after his term has expired and he is replaced by recently advanced Kevin Warsh. Powell said he plans to maintain a “low profile” as a governor, but it will be the first time since 1948 that a Federal Reserve Chairman has stayed on the board at the end of their chairmanship.

The Supreme Court’s liberal justices called their colleagues’ decision clawing back race-based redistricting on Wednesday a “now-completed demolition” of the Voting Rights Act. In a 48-page dissent, Justice Elena Kagan held up the landmark 1965 law as helpful to the nation’s progress on racial discrimination. “At this last stage, the Court’s gutting of Section 2 puts that achievement in peril,” Kagan wrote. “I dissent because Congress elected otherwise,” she continued. “I dissent because the Court betrays its duty to faithfully implement the great statute Congress wrote. I dissent because the Court’s decision will set back the foundational right Congress granted of racial equality in electoral opportunity. I dissent.”
