What awful writing.

an Ivy League president whose university paid him nearly $1 million for an honorary professor gig where he was seldom seen

It really sounds like the university president was double-dipping and also getting paid by the university as an honorary professor, padding their university president salary with an additional million dollars for the professorial gig. Also sounds like university president Amy is referred to as He and Him (which happens a lot these days.

If fact Amy's university was tossing US President Joe the million dollars for a no-show professor gig. Yes, with some discernment, you can see what was happening. But with just a quick read, this journalist had my head spinning.

Well - Germany is for sale to the highest bidder be it Russia or China - so why not have a US “ambassador” to match.

The premise of Biden going to Penn was to launch The Cancer Moonshot project.

Shoot, I’m more qualified to be ambassador to Germany: I lived there for over 4 years when I was in the Army, learned to speak the language, and I am one of few Americans ever invited to sit at the stammtisch of a neighborhood gasthaus.

A stammtisch is a table reserved for family and close friends of the family. That honor resulted from my passionate defense of Ronald Reagan during the 1980 election. My neighbors were convinced Reagan would start WW3. I brought them down from the ledge, and was invited to dine at the stammtisch after Inauguration Day, when the hostages were released by the Iranians.

Being one of their best customers helped, too...lol.

I was nearly fluent in two dialects, Hoch Deutsch and Hunsrucker, primarily the latter. I had a 3 month TDY in Northern Germany, where my 40 man detachment was assigned to a German anti aircraft range. We were the only Americans for 200 miles.

I am a Penn graduate, so I know a little about this lunatic. Amy Gutmann is slightly to the left - of Karl Marx.

The entanglement of Penn and the Biden family syndicate corruption would take an army of lawyers decades to figure out.....
