I have just finished a book you must read. It applies to one of yesterday’s stories.
One of the Left’s culture warriors has been given the hook for misdeeds and the media is flipping out.
And Maine goes out to save democracy by implementing fascism.
Dumbass of the Day
This dumbass of the day is also the first story.
Embattled Harvard University president, Claudine Gay, has finally decided to resign. This comes after she refused to condemn the calls for the genocide of Jews on Harvard’s campus and she was found to have plagiarized over 50 different different essays she wrote as a student including her doctorate dissertation.
She released a statement:
“It is with a heavy heart but a deep love for Harvard that I write to share that I will be stepping down as president. This is not a decision I came to easily. Indeed, it has been difficult beyond words because I have looked forward to working with so many of you to advance the commitment to academic excellence that has propelled this great university across centuries. But, after consultation with members of the Corporation, it has become clear that it is in the best interests of Harvard for me to resign so that our community can navigate this moment of extraordinary challenge with a focus on the institution rather than any individual.
“Amidst all of this, it has been distressing to have doubt cast on my commitments to confronting hate and to upholding scholarly rigor — two bedrock values that are fundamental to who I am — and frightening to be subjected to personal attacks and threats fueled by racial animus.”
There we go. It’s racism. Greg Gutfeld made a great point. “It wasn’t racism that got her fired. It was racism that got her hired.” She was a diversity hire. She was not the highest quality candidate to run that university. She had never written a book and only published 11 articles in 25 years. You don’t get tenure without publishing a book much less become president of Harvard university.
It was also her race that kept her in Harvard. Do you think Harvard didn’t know this stuff was plagiarized? Professors have programs that analyze this stuff and typically use them before even reading a paper. Student at Harvard had said that no regular student would have stood a chance if they were caught plagiarizing.
I also want you to notice what is missing from her statement. There was no admission of guilt and no apology. This broad thinks this was all a lynching because she’s black and she did absolutely nothing wrong. Heck, Harvard doesn’t think she did anything wrong either. She resigned, she wasn’t fires. She’s still on the staff.
By the way, she still will be making $900K a year.
The media is really pushing her as a victim. That’s because the view that she was hired only because she was a black woman and not because she was qualified puts the spotlight on the failure of the diversity initiatives.
Here is some broad on MSNBC pointing this out:
The AP also made some stupid statements:
Again, the plagiarism isn’t the problem. It’s that somebody caught it.
Scalping was a Native American thing. The Indians did the scalping, not the “white colonists”.
I want to point out that Ibram X Kendi wouldn’t be anything if he weren’t black and a race baiter. He’s also being investigated for misappropriation of funds. So expect this crap to come up again when he gets accused again.

You’re Too Stupid to Vote
According to Politico:
Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows on Friday defended her decision to bar former President Donald Trump from the ballot, telling POLITICO that he simply did not meet the constitutional requirements for holding high office.
Bellows’s decision this week to eject Trump — on the grounds that he engaged in insurrection, violating the 14th Amendment — intensified an already roaring legal debate over his eligibility to run for the presidency and added pressure on the Supreme Court to adjudicate the matter.
Speaking with POLITICO, Bellows, a Democrat, cast her ruling as a matter of fulfilling her basic responsibilities as the state’s chief election official: “I do not have the discretion to choose, or decline to do, my duty,” she said.
Bellows said state law requires her to make the call on candidates’ eligibility to run for office all the time — and this decision, while much more high profile, fell within that parameter.
“The legislature did not write into the law an exception for complexity or difficult natures of interpretation,” Bellows said. “They didn’t say enforce all of the constitutional qualifications except for the ones that are difficult or complex.”
Bellows likened blocking Trump from the ballot to rejecting candidates who do not meet other prerequisites, like the constitutional requirement that the president be at least 35 years old.
Mind you, she did this unilaterally. No one had anything to do with this, including the governor. Here she is, explaining her decision:
Some things:
- Trump has never been prosecuted or accused of insurrection.
- The laws on the books for insurrection are vague and really apply to the Civil War.
- Trump was also President at the time.
- With all that said, the 14th Amendment doesn’t apply.
- A court needs to decide this, not her. Where’s the checks and balances if ONE person can make this type of decision.
- This is unconstitutional anyway.
In other words, she is the great leader we need to avoid election sabotage and voter suppression to save democracy. See how that works? She’s not sabotaging the election or suppressing the vote, she’s making sure you only have great leaders to vote for and getting rid of the ones she thinks aren’t great because the will interfere with the elections.
Let’s forget, for a second, the twisted logic. Left is right and right is left. 2+2=5, that kind of Satanic reasoning that created gulags and misery of the past. Let’s forget that she wants to suppress democracy to save democracy. Let’s forget that she thinks the people are too stupid to vote for who they think should be president. This is pure corruption, communism and dictatorship. This tells us this election is going to be rigged.
