She won’t be leading the Crimson, but green shouldn’t be a problem. Outgoing Harvard President Claudine Gay will still likely earn nearly $900,000 a year despite being forced to resign her position as the school’s top administrator. Political Science professor Gay — who stepped down amid a tempest of allegations she did not do enough to combat antisemitism and academic plagiarism Tuesday — will now return to a position on the Cambridge, Mass., school’s faculty. Prior to being named president just six months ago, Gay earned $879,079 as a Faculty of Arts and Sciences Dean in 2021 and $824,068 in...

The European Union’s first directive on combating violence against women has hit a roadblock with a number of countries, including Ireland, unable to agree on a legal definition of rape. Under the proposed text, approved by the European Parliament, the crime of rape is based on lack of consent. However, not all member states agree on this definition, and so rape risks not being included in the directive on combating violence against women. Ireland is among the member states that has not yet supported the current definition of rape. […] At present, 12 members states are supporting the inclusion of...

President Trump Truth’d out an anonymous report titled “Summary of Election Fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election in the Swing States.” The 32-page report includes separate sections for Georgia, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Arizona. The source is anonymous, as they should be, for now, but all the information is cited, and most is now in the public square. Remaining anonymous could potentially thwart opportunities to use law enforcement to investigate the investigator and prevent Mockingbird Media from engaging in ad hominem attacks on individuals rather than information. The report starts out with a bold statement that, according to polling, more...

Watch out! There’s a growing consensus among some experts that US intelligence agencies are chomping at the bit to play a significant role in the 2024 election. In their eyes, they’re the final barrier preventing President Trump from returning to the White House. Many believe that they will pull off a 9/11-style attack on the US election system, and 2024 will be a complete and total wipeout.Chief Nerd:👀 Whitney Webb on Why Intel Agencies Are Running ‘Election Simulations’“They basically conducted these simulations of what types of hacks and events could trigger the cancellation of a U.S. Presidential Election…It’s very likely...

“One of the standards the Church uses to measure the quality of her leaders is a simple line from Scripture: “God is not the author of confusion but of peace” (1 Cor. 14:33). So it was for Paul. So it is now. So it is for local pastors and bishops, including the bishop of Rome. Confusion among the faithful can often be a matter of innocent individuals who hear but fail to understand the Word. Confused teaching, however, is another matter. It’s never excusable. The transmission of Christian truth requires prudence and patience because humans are not machines. But it...

Before he left for a brief European visit, symphony conductor Sir Alfred De Carter casually asked his staid brother-in-law August to look out for his young wife, Daphne, during his absence. August has hired a private detective to keep tabs on her. But when the private eye’s report suggests Daphne might have been canoodling with his secretary, Sir Alfred begins to imagine how he might take his revenge.Preston Sturges' "Unfaithfully Yours" (1948 - Rex Harrison & Linda Darnell)

TRENTON, N.J. -- In Edison, New Jersey, the mayor warned he would send people back to the border if they came to his city in buses. In Rockford, Illinois, authorities said 355 migrants who landed on a charter flight wouldn't be staying. “NO MIGRANT BUSES THIS EXIT,” signs along Interstate 55 in Grundy County, Illinois, southwest of Chicago said ahead of Christmas weekend. Nervous officials in suburbs and outlying cities near Chicago and New York are giving migrants arriving from the southern border a cold shoulder amid attempts to circumvent restrictions on buses in those two cities, opening a...

During December, I rarely saw a FedEx delivery trick on the roads in my 80,000+ person town, rarely a UPS truck, maybe a few Amazon trucks every once in a while. The real economy seems to be declining fast. From r/Fedexer: We are in a recession. Buckle up. This morning, we were notified by text that the whole morning sort was canceled due to “low volume availability”. It felt so effing good to sleep in, but thats besides the point.

GOP Rep. Bill Johnson (OH) on Tuesday announced he will be resigning from Congress. As TGP’s Kristinn Taylor reported, the resignation from the House by former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) took effect Sunday. Following the resignation of McCarthy and Bill Johnson and the ousting of George Santos, the Republicans will be left with a razor-thin majority of 219-213 by January 21. Politico reported: Ohio GOP Rep. Bill Johnson will resign from Congress on Jan. 21 to become the new head of Youngstown State University, a move that will further shrink the tight House GOP majority. Johnson’s departure, coming on the...

She took no responsibility for the plagiarism allegations nor the state of campus hatred toward Jews and Israel. Despite the resignation as university president, Ms. Gay will remain a Harvard faculty member. The school’s student newspaper, The Harvard Crimson, first reported the resignation. Ms. Gay’s tenure was just over six months and is the shortest in the 387-year history of the school. Ms. Gay has been accused of plagiarism stemming from her career in academia. According to a report from The Washington Free Beacon, there were six new plagiarism charges against Ms. Gay in a report submitted anonymously to the...

On this date in 1943, Slovenian student Lojze Grozde was executed by communist partisans. An ardent young Catholic, the 19-year-old Grozde was on his way from boarding school in Ljubljana in Italian-occupied Slovenia* to visit some relatives when he was stopped at a roadblock. Partisans who found the devotional book The Imitation of Christ on his person were a mite hostile, since the Holy See was not exactly at loggerheads with fascism. All of Yugoslavia had become one gigantic dirty war, and though individual Catholics might fall anywhere on the political spectrum, the institutional church did not shy from working...

On this date in 1916, Sergeant John Robins of the 5th Battalion, Wiltshire Regiment — demoted for the occasion to Private — was shot “at a point on the beach 400 yards North of the mouth of the Gully Ravine” for disobeying orders. This redundantly named topography was a feature of an ill-starred (for the British) peninsula Robins’s army was quite ready to see the back of: Gallipoli.* Winston Churchill’s brainchild for a knockout punch in the First World War had long since come to grief — the enduring grief of the British, Australian, and New Zealand troops who died...

Donald Trump used his social media platform to falsely accuse Liz Cheney of destroying evidence gathered by the congressional January 6 investigation, saying she was guilty of 'extreme sabotage.' It is not the first time he has made the claim and suggested it is all part of denying him the testimony, video footage and documents he needs to defend himself in criminal trials. Cheney, one of his biggest critics inside the Republican Party, quickly hit back, posting a link to online materials collected by the investigation. The former president is due to go on trial in March in Washington, D.C.,...

WASHINGTON, Jan 2 (Reuters) - The U.S. federal government's total public debt has reached $34 trillion for the first time, the U.S. Treasury Department reported on Tuesday as members of Congress gear up for another series of federal funding battles in coming weeks. The Daily Treasury Statement for Friday showed that the total public debt outstanding rose to $34.001 trillion from $33.911 on Thursday.

Major retailers in California are now required to have gender-neutral toy aisles under a new state law that went into effect on Monday. The new law requires retail department stores physically located in California with 500 or more employees to “maintain a gender-neutral section or area, to be labeled at the discretion of the retailer.” Stores that already have gender-focused toy areas won’t have to get rid of them but instead add a toy section that would apply to children of any gender, according to the law’s text. The law passed the state Legislature and was signed by Gov. Gavin...
