Trump Teaches Harvard a Lesson​








'Find Out': Sen. Kennedy Minces No Words Explaining Why Harvard Is on 'Wrong' Side in Trump Battle



Fascinatingly, woke higher education institutions like Harvard University believe they are entitled to federal funding, to the extent that Harvard has sued the Trump-Vance administration over actions taken in response to the school's defiance of Trump's executive orders on issues like DEI, antisemitism, and men in women's sports.

As RedState reported, Harvard president Alan Garber issued a letter to faculty and students in mid-April stating that "We have informed the administration through our legal counsel that we will not accept their proposed agreement. The University will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights."

In response, Trump's task force on combating antisemitism responded by initiating "a freeze on $2.2 billion in multi-year grants and $60M in multi-year contract value to Harvard University." About a week later, Garber announced that "Moments ago, we filed a lawsuit to halt the funding freeze because it is unlawful and beyond the government’s authority."

Trump Signs BOMBSHELL TRAVEL BAN, BANS People From 12 Countries​













Yesterday, the cowardly New York Times ran a bit of drive-by journalism headlined, “‘We Don’t Want Them’: Trump Signs Travel Ban On Citizens From 12 Countries.” It was peak outrage and vintage Trump. The President seized the news cycle with his latest executive order, reviving —and upgrading— his Trump 1.0 travel ban package.

The ban takes effect on Monday. Subject to a baker’s dozen of common-sense exceptions, it bars non-resident entry from a dozen scenic places that are definitely not on your vacation bucket list: Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. Plus, it places limits on citizens of Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela, who won’t be getting tourist or student visas or green cards anytime soon.

Why? “The latest travel ban,” the Times reported, speaking once again in third-person passive voice, “cites issues with security vetting in certain countries and says immigrants from those countries frequently overstay their visas.” And that was it. The Times promptly dropped the rationale like a hot rock, never returning to those reasons, not for context or even to dispute them. It just moved on. It doesn’t matter if it’s true! It’s still racist!

As you could easily guess, the Times’ outraged take was that it was the most racist, sexist, and homophobic thing ever in the history of Spiral Arm 26 of the Milky Way Galaxy, at least since the Trump 1.0 travel ban, which Biden reversed on his first day in office calling it a “stain on our national conscience,” a badly aging take that the Times had reminded readers of by the second paragraph. (It was a stain on something, but more likely that was Biden’s Depends.)

This is the reason DOGE exists.

Most welfare programs are chock full of fraud. Medicare durable equipment is another area where taxpayers get ripped off bit time.
Was discovered before DOGE, but sure maybe DOGE will find more. I won't hold my breath though, they don't seem interested in doing anything that takes actual investigation. They just like to do data analytics. Also, the headline is misleading. Makes you think $66M of benefits were stolen, but what actually happened was that $66M of real benefits were spent at stores that didn't jump through the hoops to be recognized EBT locations. It's possible that a store that bought a fraudulent EBT terminal also allows people to buy things that aren't supposed to be bought with EBT, but that's not what's specifically alleged in the story (and that's already a rampant problem at legitimate EBT locations).
