Shot in the Dark

A Pattern

SCENE: Mitch BERG is walking to his parked car after a political event in downtown Saint Paul. As he walks past a near-empty office building, MyLyssa SILBERMAN, Reporter for National Public Radio’s Saint Paul bureau, covering the “Fake News” and “Diversity” beats, steps out.

SILBERMAN: Merg!

BERG: Er, hey, Mylys…

SILBERMAN: In recent years, you’ve pounced on Demcorats for saying “tut, tut, nobody’s coming for your guns…”

BERG: ….and pointing the reams of legislation that shows that they are, but that that’s not good enough unless there’s actually a cop beating down your door.

SILBERMAN: Uh…

BERG: If the cops are busting down one’s neighbor’s door, I should shut up because they’re not storming my house yet. Point being, the progressive line on all outrages against freedom is “If it’s not happening to you right this second, no matter how imminent, then it’s not a threat”.

SILBERMAN: Don’t you think that’s a bit unfair?

BERG: You tell me:

SILBERMAN: Not sure I get your point…

BERG: Yeah, I don’t imagine you do.

    When the word “irony” is simply not enough: From the WSJ:

    It turns out that one of the most expensive programs the university offers is a short course on serving as the leader of a college or university. It’s called the “Harvard Seminar for New Presidents” and here’s how the Harvard Graduate School of Education describes this six-day course:

    Tuition: $9,900.00
    College and university presidents and chancellors are expected to be productive, articulate, and responsive leaders from the moment they assume office. With an array of external and institutional challenges to address, new presidents do not have the luxury of learning on the job.
    The Harvard Seminar for New Presidents provides a practical orientation to the presidency, familiarizing new presidents with the opportunities and hazards they will likely face and preparing them to respond to the multiple responsibilities that await in their new roles.

    Hmmm. They don’t seem to be instructing their “students” aka dumb suckers, on how to dodge questions from congressional representatives.

    UPenn’s President has “resigned,” but will continue to be a tenured professor at the school. I haven’t seen if that’s enough consequences for the mega donor to redonate the particular gift he pulled.
    Harvard just announced that Gay will stay on (something like 570 members of the faculty signed a letter demanding that Harvard not demoted the first Black President). Harvard also announced that the plagiarism allegations were old news and the investigation just wrapped up, and that President Gay has already requested that the university update her footnotes to meet the professional standards that hadn’t been upheld yet.
    So far none of this surprises me at all.
    Now that Harvard has publicly stated that Gay won’t be fired, they’ve limited the options should donations dry up and Jewish applicants boycott the school going forward. This won’t destroy Harvard, but hopefully it knocks it down a peg or two.

    Smith;
    Hahvud isn’t worried about their Jewish donors or Jewish students, when they cater to hundreds of ChiComs and their cash. One of China’s benchmarks for taking over the world, is to control the education system. Of course, with the previous parade of communists that run it, they are almost there.

    Oh, and it’s hysterically funny that the 500 plus trained faculty monkeys that are supporting the anti-semitic president, told the university “don’t cave into political pressure”, when they use it for everything.

    America’s newspaper of record- “Harvard president Claudine Gay in hot water for plagiarizing large sections of ‘Mien Kampf’
