Nearly a century before the Claudine Gay scandal, Harvard University was trying to help Nazi Germany improve its image in the West.

 HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF: Harvard University in the 1930’s was pro-Nazi and anti-Jewish; Today, Harvard is pro-IslamoNazi and anti-Jewish (barenakedislam.com)  

Senior Nazi official Ernst Hansfstaengl attended his 25th Harvard reunion in 1934,
 despite his Nazi ties.Hitler did say when he became famous, everybody would wear
his moustache.

“Harvard selectively enforces its policies to avoid protecting Jewish students from harassment, hires professors who support anti-Jewish violence and spread antisemitic propaganda, and ignores Jewish students’ pleas for protection.” It goes on to argue that the university “permits students and faculty to advocate, without consequence, the murder of Jews, and the destruction of Israel, the only Jewish country in the world.

"The suit also claims Harvard officials have “been aware of its antisemitism for years, but its response has been, to say the least, clearly unreasonable and totally unacceptable in not just tolerating, but enabling antisemitism.”

"The suit alleges that even before Hamas’ surprise attack on Israel in October, the group Harvard Out of Palestine “led a relentless campaign against retired Israeli Major Gen. Amos Yadlin, a senior fellow at Harvard Kennedy School of Government” in which students marched through campus in April 2022, banging on drums and using a megaphone to accuse Yadlin of being personally responsible for “genocide.”

Handy Guide to University Codes of Conduct - The People's Cube - Political Satire (thepeoplescube.com)

"Elite Universities like University of Pennsylvania, Harvard, and MIT have strict codes of conduct to make sure the students respect one another, while allowing civilized and intelligent discussion about their different opinions.
"Legal scholars from these Universities met this week to create the handy guide below.  It was created so students, Congressional leaders, and the average 'they/them on the street' are absolutely clear about what statements are allowed and what are not."

• "All Jews should die"
• It depends on context, but nearly always allowable in the interest of reasoned debate.
• "All Muslims should die"
• Islamophobia at its worst - prohibited speech 100% of the time.
• "Abortion is murder"
• Absolutely false and a violation of the code of conduct.  How can you 'murder' a clump of cells that just happens to look like a human baby?
• "Meat is murder"
• Not a violation (unless the 'meat' in question happens to be a baby-shaped clump of cells).
• "Men should not be allowed to compete in women's sports"
• Violation of the code of conduct.  This falls under the Bullying and Harassment section and is therefore prohibited.
• "Yeah you f—ing transphobic bitch.  I f–ing see you [Riley Gaines]!"
• Not a violation.  The speaker is attempting to educate."
• "That's not a woman!  That's just a dude in a dress.  Why do people keep calling him by the wrong pronouns?"
• Not just a violation of the code of conduct, but probably a violation of state and / or federal law.

Meet the American millionaire Marxists funding anti-Israel rallies

 NY Post

In 1974, the FBI investigated Singham as “potentially dangerous because of background, emotional instabilities or activity in groups engaged in activities inimical to the U.S.,” according to its report, which he published on a blog.

Neville Roy Singham and his wife, Jodie Evans,
 have funded large pro-Palestinian protests
through The People’s Forum.

"The pro-Palestinian protests over the last month, where tens of thousands in the US have chanted for the end of Israel, are not merely a story of organic rage.

"They are also funded in large part by an uber-wealthy American-born tech entrepreneur, Neville Roy Singham, and his wife, Jodie Evans.

"Since 2017, Singham has been the main funder of The People’s Forum, which has co-organized at least four protests after 1,200 innocent Israelis were slaughtered by Hamas on Oct. 7.

"One rally, in Times Square, happened on October 8 before Israel had even counted its dead.

"Based in Midtown Manhattan, The People’s Forum calls itself a “movement incubator for working class and marginalized communities to build unity across historic lines of division at home and abroad.”

"But a review of public disclosure forms shows that multimillionaire Singham and his wife Evans have donated over $20.4 million to The People’s Forum from 2017 to 2022 through a series of shell organizations and donor advisory groups — accounting for nearly all of the group’s funding.

Liberal dark money network has donated $10M to anti-Israel causes   . . ."Caitlin Sutherland, the executive director of Americans for Public Trust, which asked the IRS to investigate Arabella Advisors in August, told The Post that the dark money network’s donors “should be mortified that their money is being routed to organizations leading blatantly antisemitic, pro-terrorist pep rallies.”

“ 'The network should immediately ask for their money back from these radical groups, and Arabella’s financial backers should reconsider the cost of supporting a network that is tacitly endorsing an alarming movement of hate aimed at Jewish communities across our country,” Sutherland said." . . .

Hertz Takes U-Turn With Re-focus On Gas Cars, Sells Huge Chunk Of EV Fleet

 The American Tribune.com

"Hertz shares plunged more than 4% in trading Thursday, while Tesla shares fell about 3%. The fall was expected after the admission from the company that EVs aren’t working.". . .

"The electric vehicle industry continues to take blow after blow as consumers continue to miss the spark for the pricey products. The Biden Administration has aggressively pushed EVs as part of their solution to the alleged climate crisis. Perhaps it is the draconian language used by Biden or the fact that EVs are unreliable, expensive, and generally underperform: whatever the case, consumers aren’t buying.

"One name synonymous with rental cars, Hertz, made an announcement recently that shocked the EV industry. On Thursday, Hertz stated that it plans to sell off about 20,000 EVs from their fleet and add gasoline powered cars in their place.

Despite the efforts from Hertz to gin up favor for the pricey rental option, it just didn’t work. Hertz tabbed Tom Brady in a seemingly endless number of commercials trying to make renting electric from Hertz somehow cool or socially responsible, but it turns out folks who want a rental car are neither concerned with coolness nor social responsibility. They want an inexpensive, nice, reliable rental to serve their short-term needs.

"Previously, the rental giant had pledged to purchase 100,000 Teslas by the end of 2022. However, the sudden change of direction underscores the problem with EVs. It is simply too expensive to maintain them, and Hertz found out the hard way after writing a check their gas tanks couldn’t cash.

"Hertz made a statement about their decision: “The company expects this action to better balance supply against expected demand of EVs. This will position the company to eliminate a disproportionate number of lower margin rentals and reduce damage expense associated with EVs.” 

"Hertz has stated the intention to have the fleet sold off by 2025, and it is unclear if any new EVs will be purchased.  However, it is fair to assume that until costs are such that the product is cost-effective, Hertz will stay with gasoline. Tesla isn’t the only automaker affected. General Motors has sold almost 175,000 EVs, while Swedish maker Polestar provided 65,000." . . .

Pixar Cuts Hundreds Of Jobs After Woke Kids' Movies Bomb At The Box Office

  (trendingpoliticsnews.com)  "Pixar is set to layoff an unspecified number of staffers in the second half of 2024, according to a report from Variety magazine. The layoffs come after a number of box office bombs such as Lightyear and Elemental, both of which contained leftist social ideologies.

"News of the upcoming cuts was first reported by TechCrunch, who reported that the studio was considering layoffs for 20 percent of its staff. This would leave Pixar with less than 1,000 employees, though a Pixar representative told Variety that the cuts being considered by parent company Disney are not as dramatic.

"Discussions surrounding layoffs are currently underway as the studio finishes up a number of projects that were started in the second half of 2023. Cuts have reportedly been considered for awhile, though discussions were put on hold in order to allow current projects to wrap up.

"Pixar is currently slated to release Inside Out 2 in 2024 and Elio in 2025, with two unnamed films planned for 2026.

"Cuts at the once mighty animated studio — which has produced box office hits such as Finding Nemo, Cars and Toy Story — are part of wider cuts at Disney. The parent company has laid off more than 8,000 workers over the last year, accounting for roughly 3.6 percent of its workforce.

"On the box office front, Disney lost more than $1 billion across nine film releases, a run that concluded with the disastrous Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny. The run included two woefully underperforming Pixar productions — Elemental and Lightyear — the latter of which featured a same-sex kissing scene." . . .

Genocide case against Israel: Where does the rest of the world stand on the momentous allegations?   . . ."The world’s reaction to the landmark case that was heard Thursday and Friday at the International Court of Justice in The Hague shows a predictable global split when it comes to the inextricable, 75-year-old problem of Israel and the Palestinians. Sunday marks 100 days of their bloodiest ever conflict.

"The majority of countries backing South Africa’s case are from the Arab world and Africa. In Europe, only the Muslim nation of Turkey has publicly stated its support.

"No Western country has declared support for South Africa’s allegations against Israel. The U.S., a close Israel ally, has rejected them as unfounded, the U.K. has called them unjustified, and Germany said it “explicitly rejects” them.

"China and Russia have said little about one of the most momentous cases to come before an international court. The European Union also hasn’t commented.

"US: ‘MERITLESS’ ALLEGATIONS

"U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on a visit to Israel a day before the court proceedings began that South Africa’s allegations are “meritless” and that the case “distracts the world” from efforts to find a lasting solution to the conflict. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said genocide is “not a word that ought to be thrown around lightly, and we certainly don’t believe that it applies here.' ”. . .

White Men Don’t Want To Join An Army That Tells Them They Aren’t Wanted

The Federalist

"In detailing potential variables contributing to the Army’s decline in white recruits, such as a fluctuating labor market and higher obesity rates among American youth, Military.com cited remarks from an unnamed Army official who used the media’s infamous “Republicans pounce!” framing to blame the problem on conservatives. Rather than highlight or criticize the military’s embrace of racialist, so-called “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” or DEI, ideology, the aforementioned official dismissed the idea that young recruits “care” about the service’s leftward trend, suggesting it’s “the older people in their life … who have a lot of influence” about whether these youth decide to serve." . . .

"So-called “diversity,” however, still remains at the forefront of the Army’s campaign, according to Wormuth, who stated, “You’re going to see lots of different people doing lots of different
roles,” including “men and women” and “people of color.” This is “important because one of the things we found in our market research is that a lot of young people admire the Army, but they don’t think there are people like them in the Army,” she added."

"First, we had to compile examples. Then, measure things based on performance, influence, bias, reach, and work other factors into a complex formula to rank accordingly. It was laborious, but – unlike many on this list – we took the time to research and explore the topics.

Top spot went to MehdinHasan of MSNBC...naturally:

While all the other cable news networks enjoyed rocketing ratings covering the war, MSNBC managed to lose 33% of its audience at the same time. Weeks later, Hasan found himself removed from hosting TWO programs, and ultimately, he announced he was walking away entirely after effectively being shown the door."

MUST-SEE VIDEO: A pro-Israel public service announcement that will be seen across the U.S

 Andrea Widburg. - American Thinker

"This bit of news actually surprises me. It doesn’t surprise me that the Hostages and Missing Families Forum would create a powerful and published public service announcement (“PSA”) highlighting what happened in Israel on October 7 and the ensuing hostage crisis. What does surprise me is that movie theaters across America, as well as Hulu (a Disney-owned company) will be showing it in the coming days as part of the trailers they routinely screen before running a picture or TV show.

"The PSA is filmed to look like the trailer for an upcoming thriller or horror movie. It ends by reminding viewers that this is the real horror that Israel faced on October 7 and has faced daily since then. It’s well done and powerful:

                                                             The video

"Kudos to the theater owners and to Hulu management for accepting this video. I’m sure that, very soon, we’ll be hearing shrieks of outrage and threats about boycotts and violence from the Hamas lovers (whom I often think of as Death Eaters). In today’s political climate, it takes courage to show a video like this.

"If you're going to San Francisco

If you're going to San Francisco

"Yesterday I wrote that San Francisco is a cult. It was a VIP article, so you may not have seen it.

"Shame on you! Sign up for VIP! . . .

"I wrote that piece after viewing the disgusting behavior–and cultish behavior–of the pro-Hamas crowd after San Francisco made its ridiculous call for a cease-fire. That a city government felt the need to do this was ridiculous, but then again the whole city is ridiculous.

"The video was bizarre."

"Today I saw more evidence of just how awful the behavior of the activists was during the hearing before the vote to condemn Israel.

"An honest-to-God Jewish man who lost five family members in the Hamas attacks and who had two cousins taken hostage was heckled by the activists.

"Five of his family members were killed, and they make pig-snorting sounds at him.

The pro-Pals making pig noises as a man discusses five members of his family being murdered by Hamas in a kibbutz should disgust you. These are not the good guys. Shame on the Democrats for enabling them. https://t.co/0lCCNZnC9q

The International Court Of "Injustice" Begins Its Blood Libel Trial Against Israel

 Alan M. Dershowitz: Gatestone Institute

"The very term "genocide" was coined to describe the Nazi's largely successful effort to end the entire Jewish presence in Europe, by the use of gas chambers, shooting pits and other industrial mechanisms of mass murder. To turn that important word into a weapon against the descendants of the Jews who survived the Nazi genocide is to distort history, morality and basic decency."

• What is the International Court of Justice? It is not international, because it excludes judges from certain countries. It is not a real court, because the judges are selected by their countries and many of them simply follow the instructions of those who appointed them. And it has never done justice, because it has long been biased against Israel. It is the United Nations court, and that tells you all you need to know about it.

• The United Nations has become the megaphone of bigotry and anti-Semitism.... Both the United Nations and its court are shams.

• It is the Hamas charter that calls for genocide against the Jews of Israel, and it is South Africa that is harboring Hamas terrorists and defending its murders and rapes. It should be Hamas that is on trial for attempted genocide and South Africa that is on trial for complicity with Hamas. Instead, the nation-state of the Jewish people is being accused of a blood libel, despite going to great lengths to avoid civilian casualties in its legitimate efforts to destroy Hamas.

• The evidence is indisputable that Hamas has committed numerous war crimes.

• Were the International Court of Justice to falsely conclude that Israel was guilty of genocide, it would destroy whatever remaining credibility that court might have. If that were to happen, the United States and some other nations should and probably would leave the court: it would not deserve the legitimacy afforded by membership of any decent country.

. . ."The crime of genocide requires an intent to destroy an entire people, based on ethnicity, race or religion. It also requires actions, calculated to achieve that goal. Israel has done exactly the opposite in relation to the Arabs and Muslims of Gaza. It ended the occupation in 2005, leaving behind farming equipment and other material resources that could have been used to turn Gaza into Singapore on the Mediterranean. It has provided medical services to Gazans in need of Israel's exceptional resources. It has provided employment for thousands of Gazans with good pay. The end result is that the population of the Gaza Strip has increased dramatically over the years during which Israel has been accused of genocide. These are not the indicia of genocide. What Israel has done has been based on one consideration alone: namely the need to protect its own civilians from efforts by Hamas to conduct genocide against its Jewish civilians."

Rashida Tlaib's Embarrassing Tweet About Houthi Airstrikes Gets Slapped With a Fact Check

 Matt Vespa (townhall.com)

"Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) is in mourning right now. We blew up a bunch of terrorists who were harassing international shipping routes in the Red Sea. For weeks, Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen were firing ballistic missiles at U.S. warships.
