An open letter to current Harvard faculty, donors, and trustees: I know you hate me. I know you hate President Trump. I know you think the enforcement of federal law is actually a conspiracy to overhaul higher education. I know you think the multiple conclusions of religious discrimination against Jews is a lie. But I am genuinely struggling to understand, irrespective of antisemitism, how the current disastrous state of the University has not resulted in tangible, meaningful reform. I implore you to answer basic questions about how you continue to choose to run Harvard University: 1. Why do you insist on paying Claudine Gay, an actual serial plagiarist who was forced to resign, a salary of $900,000 a year? 2. Why specifically should Claudine Gay of all people be teaching a class on leadership, using Harvard as a case study? 3. What specific merits and talents does Chairwoman Penny Pritzker bring to the table? What is the specific justification for keeping her? 4. For what specific reason is the University refusing to comply with federal law by not sharing the criminal background history of your foreign students to DHS? 5. Does it bother you that 97% of the faculty identify with one particular political ideology? If yes, what are two specific actions you're willing to take to rectify the problem? 6. What specifically have you done to ensure that the few conservative students left on campus aren't self-censoring their work and opinions? 7. Does it bother you that multiple faculty members, such as Professor James Hankins, admitted they or their colleagues were told that white men, in the post George Floyd backlash would no longer be hired if there was a (less qualified) black or gay applicant? 8. Thousands of donors, representing billions of dollars, have refused to give anymore since 10/07. What specific policy overhauls have you implemented to win them back? Irrespective of antisemitism, I'm genuinely struggling to understand why Harvard refuses to get out of its own way. This entire controversy since Day 1 has been entirely self inflicted and avoidable. Poor leadership after poor leadership...

@LinchCharity An elected official doesn't get elected because of the platform committee. He built his own team of consultants, donors, and volunteers to win a primary and a general. The only platform he cares about is the one that got donors, volunteers, & voters to back him.

The single most insightful person about modernity and enduring truth over the past century is GK Chesterton, a 300+ pound British journalist with bad teeth. He was only right about literally everything.

El caso de Noelia: La eutanasia parece ser una ejecuciรณn del Estado, el รบltimo paso de un camino de torturas del sistema. 1. El Estado quita la custodia a los padres e interna a Noelia en un centro de menores a los 13 aรฑos. Tras el divorcio perdieron la casa, atravesaron problemas econรณmicos y el Estado se "encargรณ" de ella. 2. Noelia era una chica vulnerable y sufre una violaciรณn grupal. El Estado no la ha protegido, la ha expuesto. 3. Noelia tenรญa una incapacidad del 67% por su enfermedad mental, pero tras la agresiรณn sexual intenta suicidarse y queda en silla de ruedas, (es autรณnoma en lo demรกs), su incapacidad sube al 74%, segรบn El Confidencial. 4. El Estado la separรณ de sus padres que la querรญan, pero no la protegiรณ, no la amparรณ y no la ayudรณ psicolรณgica ni emocionalmente. Una chica vulnerable a la que el Estado dejรณ en indefensiรณn absoluta su soluciรณn es quitarla de en medio. La eutanasia parece ser la ejecuciรณn, el รบltimo paso de un caso de secuestro y torturas, con la premura de un sistema que quiere borrar las huellas de lo que hace realmente el "Estado" en el nombre de la muerte digna. La libertad. Evitar el sufrimiento. El trastorno de Noelia no le permite percibir que tiene un padre que lucha por ella contra un Estado y un sistema que sรณlo la utiliza como sacrificio en el altar de una ideologรญa perversa que utiliza palabras de bien para implantar el mal. Esta eutanasia es claro ejemplo existencial de cรณmo el Estado mata la figura del padre. Recemos por Noelia.

Everything I know about Lahmeyer is about politics: Running for Senate, Pastors for Trump, inviting Trump-proximate celebrities to speak at his church, hosting debates.
Jackson Lahmeyer@JacksonLahmeyer

I'm officially announcing my campaign for Congress in Oklahoma's 1st District. I've spent my life in the pulpit, not in politics. But I've watched career politicians abandon the values that built this country. Faith. Family. Freedom. I founded Pastors for Trump. I've mobilized pastors and churches across all 77 counties in Oklahoma. I've led crusades across this nation that reached millions. Now I'm taking that same fight to Washington. Oklahoma, let's go. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

BREAKING: Maryland House passed a bill to FORCE ALL private schools to hand their admissions processes to the government. Religious schools would be forced to embrace transgender insanity. Leftists would have a new right to sue schools over gender ideology. It passed 100โ€“35.

Remember when people said school choice is what causes government control of private education? The Democrats are pushing regulation without school choice in Maryland. The real problem is authoritarian politicians who hate both school choice and parental rights.

Robyn Bernice Hopkins (formerly Robyn Bernice Bridges aka Robyn Bernice Bridges-Castro), of Piedmont, Oklahoma, is the bearded lady on the left who doesn't know how to behave in court. Maybe go easy on the testosterone, lady.

Thank you to the @DailyCaller for interviewing me and for bringing attention to this issue. The bill to turn human bodies into fertilizer passed the Oklahoma House with significant Republican support, and previously passed the Business Committee unanimously without a single question asked. One of my bills, mandatory E-verify, was killed after 45 minutes of grilling on that same day by that same committee. Call your state senator and tell them to vote โ€œnoโ€ on HB 3660. #okleg
