    Provo, Utah - The head of the Iranian opposition group in exile that supplied early intelligence on Iran's clandestine nuclear program says President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has engineered a clever disinformation campaign to convince foreign experts that Iran is eight to 10 years away from developing a nuclear bomb. But in fact, she says, the regime is less than two years away from producing such a weapon, as part of its plan to "create an Iranian empire" in the Middle East. In a wide-ranging weekend telephone conversation from her base of exile in Paris, Maryam Rajavi told me that Mr. Ahmadinejad...

    Republican Ohio Rep. Bill Johnson will resign from his position on Jan. 21 to take a job as president of Youngstown State University, according to multiple reports. Johnson was expected to assume his new position at the university on March 15, WFMJ reported. His new start date comes earlier than expected (via WFMJ):In his resignation letter sent to Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and U.S. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, Johnson described the residents of his district as "proud and patriotic," but disregarded by America's "elites," which Johnson said included academics even as he prepares to take over an academic...

    The problem is much larger than Gay and demands the right go about dismantling institutions like Harvard with whatever means available.News of Harvard President Claudine Gay’s resignation on Tuesday prompted understandable celebration on the right and much-deserved praise for journalists Christopher Rufo, Christopher Brunet, and Aaron Sibarium, who exposed Gay as a serial plagiarist. No doubt, celebration is in order. Gay was of course not only a plagiarist but a Hamas apologist who shrugged off rampant antisemitism on Harvard’s campus in the wake of the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israeli civilians. In a shocking congressional hearing last month...

    Predictably, in her resignation statement, she played the victim, offered no apologies and blamed her downfall on those who exposed her misconduct. In a key passage showing that her sense of entitlement remains intact, she wrote that “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.” In another passage, she ignored the elephant in the room by insisting that her appointment let people from...

    WASHINGTON (AP) — The downfall of Harvard’s president has elevated the threat of unearthing plagiarism, a cardinal sin in academia, as a possible new weapon in conservative attacks on higher education. Claudine Gay’s resignation Tuesday followed weeks of mounting accusations that she lifted language from other scholars in her doctoral dissertation and journal articles. The allegations surfaced amid backlash over her congressional testimony about antisemitism on campus. The plagiarism allegations came not from her academic peers but her political foes, led by conservatives who sought to oust Gay and put her career under intense scrutiny in hopes of finding a...

    Dear Members of the Harvard Community, 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...

    With so much going on in the news this week, one company that is happy there are so many distractions away from its problems is Disney. After weeks of consecutive massive failures in theaters, the entertainment giant is going through some executive-level dramas, and it is becoming apparent there is no clear strategy to solve the mounting issues. CEO Bob Iger was drawn back into his leadership role last year when his heir - Bob Chapek - began to encounter several self-created problems. However that hoped-for storyline of Iger becoming the needed white knight has not achieved the happy ending;...

    How much failure is enough failure, because Republicans have had a lot of failure lately and we’re looking forward to more failure next year and perhaps we ought to do something to start getting ourselves on the road to the opposite of failure. And the opposite of failure is the opposite of Ronna McDaniel. Doubt me? Here’s the kiss o’ death – Frank “Lumpy” Luntz just said, “Ronna McDaniel is the @GOP’s secret weapon. An amazing speaker and smart strategist.” That seals it. Good-bye Ronna, it’s time to go. Adios. Auf Wiedersehen. Whatever the hell is Chinese for, “Later, dude.”...

    Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday held off from calling for Sen. Bob Menendez’s resignation after the New Jersey Democrat was charged by federal prosecutors with bribery and corruption. Schumer told reporters that he was “deeply disappointed” and “disturbed” when he read the indictment released late last week, which alleges that Menendez and his wife accepted bribes in order to enrich three New Jersey businessmen and benefit Egypt. “I’ve known Sen. Menendez a very long time and was truly, truly upset. But we all know that … for senators, there’s a much, much higher standard, and clearly when...

    Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) will step aside from his chairmanship of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee after his indictment on bribery charges, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced Friday, as New Jersey’s governor called for the long-serving lawmaker’s resignation. “Bob Menendez has been a dedicated public servant and is always fighting hard for the people of New Jersey. He has a right to due process and a fair trial,” Schumer (D-NY) said in a statement. “Senator Menendez has rightly decided to step down temporarily from his position as Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee until the matter has been resolved.”...

    Whether they admit it or not, one big question has to be on the mind of pretty much every Democrat in the country: What happens if Joe Biden drops out of the 2024 race?This is certainly a fair question. Earlier today, my colleague Nick Arama gave us another example of the President's ongoing deterioration. More examples of such are legion. But what really has to be troubling for Democrats is this: If Biden drops out, they have no good candidate to replace him. Just this morning, RealClearPolitics' Charles Lipson presented a great analysis of the problem Democrats face if this...

    Goodhue, Minnesota, a small town in the southeastern part of the state, lost its entire police force after the chief and other members of the force handed in their resignations. “I think we’re all a little bit blindsided by it, but we’re resilient and we’re going to move forward,” Goodhue Mayor Ellen Anderson Buck told Fox 9. “I want to reiterate that we will have police coverage in the city of Goodhue,” Buck said. “That is not an issue.” Police Chief Josh Smith, who will continue to serve in his position until Aug. 24, told city officials that he could...

    President Richard Nixon, the 37th president, announced he would be resigning from the office on this day in history, August 8, 1974. In a speech delivered to the nation from the Oval Office, Nixon said his resignation would go into effect "at noon tomorrow." On August 9, Gerald Ford would assume the presidency as the nation's 38th president. Nixon was the first U.S. president to resign from the position. He left the highest office in the land in the face of likely impeachment amid the Watergate scandal, which involved his administration's cover-up of spying activities on the Democratic Party's headquarters...

    Latondra Newton, who has served as Disney’s chief diversity officer since 2017, is leaving the company. An internal memo from Disney chief human resources officer Sonia Coleman announcing Newton’s departure was circulated to staff Tuesday. Coleman wrote that Newton “decided to leave The Walt Disney Company to pursue other endeavors.” We hear that she plans to join a corporate board and focus on a creative company she owns. Disney said Newton’s direct reports will now report to Julie Merges, SVP Talent Acquisition, who will run the DEI operations on an interim basis while the search for Newton’s replacement is underway....

    If these reports from someone close to Tucker Carlson are true – and I bet that they are – some very talented people seem to regard Fox News as a sinking ship and are hopping off. Chadwick Moore, a frequent guest on Tucker Carlson’s former Fox News show and the author of a forthcoming biography of Tucker, revealed Saturday that 9 former staffers of his show have left the network to work for their old boss as he rolls out his new program on Twitter… and quite possibly a slate of other offerings there as his organization builds. My sources...
