Republicans Get <1% of Harvard Corporation Donations

The leftists who run Harvard discriminate against whites and Asians in the name of diversity. They want to achieve a balance. But only when it comes to race. When it comes to something more meaningful, namely viewpoint, the Harvard Crimson reveals their idea of balance:

Members of the Harvard Corporation, the University’s highest governing body, contributed more than $1.5 million in political donations to federal candidates and political action committees in 2021 and 2022. Of that number, just $12,900 went to Republican political causes.

That comes to less than 0.86% to Republicans. There’s you balance. There’s your diversity.

Within the Corporation’s ranks are two former Obama administration officials, two billionaires, and three heads of private investment firms. Ahead of the 2020 election, Corporation members financed over $1 million to Democratic campaigns and PACs.

Senior Fellow Penny S. Pritzker ’81, who served as the U.S. Secretary of Commerce under President Obama, contributed the most out of the board’s members, supplying Democratic causes with more than $750,000 ahead of the 2022 midterms. She gave similarly in the 2020 election cycle, with $861,000 in support of Democratic candidates.

Penny S. Pritzker is the sister of the authoritarian leftist J.B. Pritzker, Governor of Illinois, who ought to take up acting if they ever do a live action film adaptation of George Orwell’s Animal Farm. He would be perfectly cast as one of the pigs.

As for billionaire Harvard Corporation member David M. Rubenstein,

Rubenstein is a close friend of President Joe Biden. During the first two years of his presidency, Biden stayed at Rubenstein’s Nantucket home for Thanksgiving.

As George Carlin might say of our moonbat ruling class, it’s a big club, and we are not in it. To elaborate:

“You and I are not in the big club. And by the way, it’s the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head in their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table is tilted folks.”

Orders regarding what to believe are passed down to us through the media, but they originate with those running institutions like Harvard.

By the way, of the trivial amount that went to the GOP, almost all was to the loathsome Adam Kinzinger, best known for pandering to Democrats. He actually publicly wept as part of Pelosi’s January 6 show trials.

Back to the Harvard Crimson:

Paul J. Finnegan ’75 was the sole Corporation member to support Republican candidates, giving $5,000 to former U.S. Representative Adam D. Kinzinger (R-Ill.) and $2,900 to Jesse L. Reising, who lost in the 2022 Republican primary in Illinois’ 13th Congressional District. Finnegan also contributed $5,000 to Kinzinger’s PAC.

Kinzinger voted to impeach former President Donald J. Trump for inciting the Jan. 6 insurrection and served on the House Jan. 6 Select Committee investigating the attack on the Capitol.

Kinzinger did not face voters again. He now works as a propagandist for the Democrat Party disinformation platform CNN.

If you don’t count Kinzinger as a Republican — who would? — the percentage given to Republicans comes to $2,900 out of over $1.5 million, or about 0.19%. The last place on earth to look for diversity is among the homogeneous leftist Borg comprising our ruling class.

Kidnapper Released on $2 Bail Recommits Crime

Remember when kidnapping was taken so seriously that you could actually be executed for it? It is a conventional offense rather than a thoughtcrime, so the liberals in charge nowadays regard it as no biggie.

From Texas:

A Katy man who was released from jail on two $1 bonds on charges of kidnapping and choking a woman he was dating was back in court Thursday on a new charge.

According to court documents, Aubrey Andre Taylor, 42, was arrested within days of his release last week after he threatened the same victim. …

Magistrate Courtney St. Julian … rejected the prosecutor’s request for no bond because Taylor is “a lifelong resident” and “is indigent” so she didn’t see him as a flight risk.

Plus Taylor looks like such upstanding citizen:

Overlooked by the judge:

Taylor has a long rap sheet that includes two robbery convictions, a burglary conviction, theft and drug charges dating back to 2003.

You can probably imagine how sternly St. Julian prosecutes theft. A few years ago, Houston police were called to a theft in progress at a CVS store:

According to prosecutors, offices found Christopher Obryant walking down a nearby street and told him to stop. Obryant allegedly dropped what he had in his hands and said “f*** no, I’m not going back to jail” before officers managed to arrest him. They took him back to the CVS where store security video showed him shoplifting. The Harris County District Attorney’s Office accepted charges of theft, second offense.

But at a hearing hours later, Magistrate Courtney St. Julian rejected the case.

“He had $12 worth of food and held at gunpoint. I’m feeling the Thanksgiving spirit, so I’m going to find no probable cause for Mr. Obryant’s arrest,” St. Julian said. “Happy holidays.”

Six weeks later, Obryant was arrested for theft again.

St. Julian being a Woman of Color, she shares Ketanji Brown Jackson’s primary qualifications to serve on the Supreme Court.

Meanwhile, areas under total Democrat domination like Illinois have been trying to do away with bail and Second Amendment rights, so that we cannot defend ourselves from the criminals they refuse to keep locked up.

What a Moonbat Was Thankful for Yesterday

Leftists are more likely to denounce Thanksgiving than sincerely celebrate it, because bitterness, viciousness, and victimhood rather than gratitude dominate their mentality. But this year, a leftist at The Nation managed to find something to be thankful for — namely, depravity:

This holiday is founded on the unforgivable genocide of Native Americans, and my commitment to justice for all people makes it difficult for me to celebrate things I am thankful for. And the harsh reality is that the utter disregard for all Indigenous people in the 1800s fuels the same systems of white supremacy that dehumanize all of us today. Black lives are taken by the police and the prison-industrial complex, any sense of LGBTQ+ peace and tranquility has been obliterated by gun violence and hate, and, ultimately, the small promise of abortion access guaranteed by Roe v. Wade was stripped away by an illegitimate Supreme Court.

More of the usual bitterness and victimhood, along with the customary viciously distorted portrayal of America and its history. But hold on; even a moonbat can experience gratitude:

I am grateful to have accessed my abortions in Texas while it was still legal in the state, and that my multiple abortion experiences now guide my work.

She isn’t the only one who finds joy in abortion:

Many people who have abortions celebrate their experience. … No matter if it’s their first abortion or fourth, people should be supported in whatever they decide, every time.

Then follow testimonials of moonbats who are glad they killed their babies and encourage others to do the same.

This brings us to the ultimate objective of moonbattery, which distinguishes it from other authoritarian ideologies: depravity as an end in itself.

Why do leftists want to disarm law-abiding citizens, knowing that the criminals whom they aggressively prevent from being incarcerated will remain armed to the teeth? Because this is depraved.

Why do they roll out the red carpet for illegal aliens at the expense of American citizens? Because this is depraved.

Why do they relentlessly promote the LGBT agenda, particularly targeting children? Because this is depraved.

Why do they pass off hideous, meaningless garbage as art? Because this is depraved.

Why do they give the prize to whomever least deserves it? Because this is depraved.

Why do they place the supposed well-being of animals before the basic needs of people? Because this is depraved.

Why do they relentlessly promote societal decay? Because this is depraved.

Why do they demasculinize men? Because this is depraved.

Why do they champion Islam, even though it runs directly contrary to their own ideology? Because this is depraved.

Why are they attempting to homosexualize the military and demoralize troops with anti-American ideology? Because this is depraved.

Why do they side with criminals against the police? Because this is depraved.

Why are they incrementally replacing the economic system that has done more than anything in history to lift people out of poverty with socialism/communism? Because this is depraved.

Why are they reflexively treasonous? Because this is depraved.

Nothing could be more depraved than a mother killing her own child. That is why abortion is the highest sacrament in the moonbat religion, giving even the most miserable among them something to be thankful for.

Happy Columbus Day

Whatever moonbats choose to call it, this is Columbus Day. On Thanksgiving, we give thanks to God for the blessings we enjoy. Today, we acknowledge that many of these blessings come via Western Civilization, which Columbus personified by spreading to the New World.

For this reason, leftists hate Columbus. He is undergoing cancelation, as evidenced by the dozens of Columbus statues that were torn down by Black Lives Matter mobs.

The arrival of Europeans lifted earlier inhabitants of the Western Hemisphere out of Stone Age savagery. Life for them had been nasty, brutish, and short.

Yet the ideology of our ruling class demands we pretend it was idyllic. Columbus is to be vilified as an oppressor of the indigenous. Given this viewpoint, renaming today as “Indigenous People’s Day” is equivalent to proclaiming December 25 to be Satan Day.

AMAC grieves for what our rulers want to take away:

How ironic, how stunning, how sad – that the day on which America celebrates our discovery by Christopher Columbus in 1492, second Monday in October, was replaced by Joe Biden in 2021 with “Indigenous Peoples’ Day.”

Despite the high position he was placed in, Joe Biden is not the kind of guy anyone could admire. Columbus was:

Daring enough to keep trying, unflinching when storms rake us, determined to persevere when others give up, ignited by curiosity, willing to think for ourselves, explore, learn, investigate, remain hopeful when others lose hope. That was Columbus.

These days, the qualities Columbus embodied are despised. We are expected to revere failure and self-pity. This is why statues of Columbus were destroyed in the name the low-life loser George Floyd and an ideology of sniveling victimhood.

Because Columbus was Italian, Columbus Day is also a day to celebrate Italian heritage. But Italians have assimilated to become Americans, so they are no longer to be celebrated. Instead, they are demonized along with other Caucasians.

We have two cultures now: the phony, sickly culture the liberal establishment wants to impose, and the real American culture that still celebrates Columbus Day.

West Indian Day Parade Havoc

England isn’t the only country with special ceremonies to celebrate its new population. London has Notting Hill Carnival, an annual Caribbean festival characterized by diversity, crime, and bloodshed. New York has the West Indian Day Parade:

The NYPD released chaotic video Friday of the group attacking the 44-year-old victim at Eastern Parkway and Franklin Avenue in Crown Heights during Monday’s festivities.

The victim was attending the annual celebration around 7 p.m. when 12 people started to punch and kick him in the head and body in an unprovoked attack, police said.

This is what the next generation will get in place of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, which will be canceled because Thanksgiving is racist.

Here Comes Harriet Tubman Day

Eradicating America requires deleting its heroes and holidays. Abolishing them all at once might engender resistance, so they are gradually phased out in favor of new heroes and holidays, which serve to remind us not of America’s greatness but of America’s guilt, because the surest way to destroy a nation is to turn it against itself.

This is why Democrats and their Republican doormats designated “Juneteenth” as a federal holiday, despite no one having heard of it before the Black Lives Matter riots. The point was to set up a rival holiday near the 4th of July, so as to replace it.

Even government workers have to show up for work sometimes. It goes without saying that as woke holidays are invented, traditional holidays will be erased to make room for them on the calendar.

Harriet Tubman, an anti-slavery activist, is already slated to replace the great Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. But moonbats want to get more mileage out of her. They make the case for Harriet Tubman Day:

The bookstore named after Harriet Tubman misspells her name. No matter; Harriet Tubman Day is sure to become a federal holiday, just as soon as our woke uniparty decides whether it should be positioned to replace Thanksgiving or Easter.

Shop Let’s Go Brandon, Enrage a Democrat

If you can make it to North Attleborough, Massachusetts, a store there offers something for everyone on your countermoonbat Christmas list.

Via WLNE:

A “Let’s Go Brandon” gift shop has opened up in North Attleboro on Saturday December 4.

Located on North Washington Street, the store sells merchandise like hats, shirts, patches, stickers, bumpers and more.

North Attleborough is only 39 miles southwest of the moonbat metropolis of Boston. No wonder wokesters have been surlier than ever lately. It isn’t just that Thanksgiving and Christmas grate on their nerves. They can feel regular Americans rising up to challenge their dominance.

Leftists are so terrified at the way people have rallied under the clever “Let’s Go Brandon” slogan that a Democrat State Representative in Tennessee wants the phrase treated like flag burning:

If Democrats revere Joe Biden the way patriots revere Old Glory, they are sicker than I realized.

Defacing the US flag is a federal crime. To quote 18 U.S. Code § 700:

Whoever knowingly mutilates, defaces, physically defiles, burns, maintains on the floor or ground, or tramples upon any flag of the United States shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both.

At least some Democrats would literally throw you in prison for poking fun at their senile figurehead and the mendacious media establishment that helped his handlers to power.

1492 Declared Unclean

The two most important years in American history are 1776, when the USA was born, and 1492, when Columbus sailed the ocean blue, allowing Western Civilization to reach the New World, thereby lifting it out of the Stone Age. Leftists hate this civilization so intensely that according to their depraved religion, the numerals 1492 are profane:

Happy Thanksgiving to you too, moonbats.

No doubt if their average donation came to $17.76, that too would be regarded as offensive, especially around the Fourth of July.

Exploited Child Gets Covid Vaccine for 12th Birthday Present

The establishment “news” media consists of propaganda so ham-fisted, it must trigger the gag reflex even in some liberals. In an NBC News piece demonizing those who won’t succumb to Covid panic, we are manipulated by the heart-breaking story of police officer Charles Roberts, who died of Covid at age 45 because — according to his widow — other people didn’t take it seriously enough. To quote:

“He took the virus very seriously, but because other people all didn’t, and there wasn’t vaccinations then, and there wasn’t great testing… I mean, he never had the opportunity to get the vaccine…”

Whether the vaccine was not available at the time or he chose not to get it is unclear. Given how long it’s been out there, the latter seems more likely.

Now she is honoring his memory by getting their son vaxxed for his 12th birthday. Giving a child that young a vaccine for a disease that is not serious in children when the long-term consequences of the vaccine are unknown does not seem wise, but parents are advised to consult with their doctors. Do not consult with the moonbats running the news media.

Everyone’s heart goes out to bereaved families. But that is all the more reason to resent the media exploiting grief to lead us around by the nose. Actual statistics would be more helpful than tearjerker tales regarding whether kids should get the jab.

The YouTube comments are a hoot. A few samples:

I’m not convinced his birthday wish wasn’t for a ‘Great Reset’.

He’ll have a booster in celebration of Thanksgiving

When I was 12, all I ever wanted was a needle in my arm…. No toys, no PlayStation, Nintendo or Xbox.. Just a needle.. Said NO child ever

He will be taking them boosters for the rest of his life.

As a Birthday gift when I was 12, my mom took me to get my very first colonoscopy, I was so excited

Truly… the most pathetic, cringe-worthy thing I’ve ever seen in television

Omg, his mouth is an extension of his mother’s

This is so heartbreaking that anyone would do this to a child.

He didn’t need a gift nbc paid him enough to buy his own

Totally thought they were paid actors until the mom said they were not paid actors.

They forgot to tell you that he actually was bought a candy bar for his birthday and found his golden vaccination card within

As we all know, children LOVE shots! Why wouldn’t this kid want one for his birthday? Your propaganda is pathetic.

On and on they go, with virtually every comment expressing extreme skepticism. The media has cashed in the last of its credibility hyping Covid hysteria. This is actually a good thing, since NBC News et al. will have none left to help Democrats inflict lockdown-level tyranny in the name of the global warming hoax.

Profiles in Covid Hypocrisy: Piers Morgan

Like many other members of our sneeringly condescending ruling class, anti-gun rights zealot Piers Morgan favors rigid authoritarianism regarding Covid precautions — but only for the little people, not for himself:

Add Piers Morgan to the list, along with Matt Hancock, Neil Ferguson, Nancy Pelosi, Gavin Newsom, Andrew Cuomo, Gretchen Whitmer, John Kerry, Joe Biden, Sheila Kuehl, Michael Hancock, Steve Adler, London Breed, Sam Liccardo, and the rest of the sanctimonious authoritarians of the Covid DAISNAID club.

Maybe if the list gets long enough, people will get sick of having their lives ruined by an effete, degenerate ruling class that makes no secret of its contempt for the arbitrary rules it inflicts on those below.

Profiles in Covid Hypocrisy: Matt Hancock

Britain’s Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Matt Hancock is prominent among the army of bureauweenies who have been ruining other people’s lives with pointless and tyrannical Covid lockdowns. A typical Do As I Say Not As I Do statist in the Neil Ferguson/Nancy Pelosi/Gavin Newsom/Andrew Cuomo/Gretchen Whitmer/John Kerry/Joe Biden/Sheila Kuehl/Michael Hancock/Steve Adler/London Breed/Sam Liccardo/et al. mold, he has carried on a steamy extramarital affair with an advisor he used public money to hire while denying others human contact.

Matt Hancock is an MP for the Conservative Party. With conservatives like this, what does anyone need liberals for?

Repurposing Memorial Day

Our holidays affirm our culture, which leftists are in the process of eradicating. This makes holidays problematic, hence the War on Christmas. Ideally, holidays will be repurposed, so that they undermine America instead of celebrating it. For example, Columbus Day celebrates the spread of Western Civilization. Progressives are replacing it with Indigenous People’s Day, which celebrates the miserable Stone Age savagery that Western Civilization displaced.

Memorial Day honors those who made the ultimate sacrifice to defend America. Leftists would prefer to honor a violent career criminal whose death by fentanyl overdose they have exploited to attack America.

The Washington Post’s Colbert I. King bleats cynically about…

…the thousands of Black men who responded, whether voluntarily or via the draft, to the call to arms from a nation that demanded loyalty and discipline while often forgetting to reciprocate.

They died pointlessly for a country that didn’t deserve it, according to King. His plans for honoring Memorial Day:

I’m also going to honor Black people in America who have paid the ultimate price, but unfairly at the hands of sworn officers of the law.

Out of a population of 46.8 million blacks, there are bound to be a few unfortunate incidents involving police. Few if any in recent memory involved deliberate killing. First listed is of course George Floyd.

King goes on to shriek about lynching that occurred more than a century ago, as if this casts the sacrifice of servicemembers into comparative insignificance.

Memorial Day is as good a time as ever to also commemorate the other fallen — precious Black lives that mattered, as least to some of us.

Since the Passion of George Floyd occurred on Memorial Day, we can expect that under liberal rule the day will increasingly honor the anti-American ideology he has come to personify. Every year Black Lives Matter flags will cancel out Old Glory on flagpoles above US embassies around the world, as they are currently.

Those holidays that cannot be repurposed will be killed by increments. For example, the Biden Administration has nixed the annual July 4 fireworks display at Mount Rushmore. Thanksgiving and Easter will be progressively deprecated on grounds of “racism” and “homophobia.” If leftists prevail, no trace will survive of the civilization so many have died to defend.
