Trump freezes $2bn in Harvard funding after university rejects demands

The Trump administration has said it is freezing more than $2bn (£1.5bn) in federal funds for Harvard University, hours after the elite college rejected a list of demands from the White House.

The White House sent a list of demands to Harvard last week which it said were designed to fight antisemitism on campus. They included changes to hiring, admissions and teaching.

Since Donald Trump was re-elected, his government has tried to reshape elite universities by threatening to withhold federal funds, mostly spent on research.

More cowbell: While insane leftists keep screaming, DOGE finds more outrageous spending

We’re now seeing what looks like the gasps of a dying ideology.

Like clockwork, the left has decided to turn out its faithful fascist minions to project its collectivist ideology on the pro-freedom right. They run around with signs proclaiming that President Trump and his DOGE chief, Elon Musk, are ‘fascists,’ but it doesn’t make any sense.  Fascism is economically and practically defined as socialism with a capitalist veneer, a public/private partnership where industry is privately owned but government-controlled.

That’s hardly the economic freedom advocated by Trump or Musk by any stretch of the imagination.  In reality, that describes them.

The Left’s Heaven is Actually Hell

Hands Off Everything Evil

Unfortunately for the “Hands Off” protestors, America has not forgotten what happened when they were in charge.

The Left’s vision of heaven is everyone else’s idea of hell. This is the conclusion that can be drawn from last weekend’s “Hands Off” rally and the Left’s hands-on approach in the locales they have governed over the last few years. As the Left becomes angrier and more militant, expect them to only reinforce this conclusion.

How “Tesla Takedown” Activists Fool the Public

The campaign against Elon Musk’s company is hardly a grassroots movement.

Last month, a wave of more than 200 protests targeting Tesla properties erupted across the United States. The media portrayed this movement, officially branded the “Tesla Takedown,” as a spontaneous grassroots backlash against CEO Elon Musk’s role in dismantling waste and fraud in the U.S. federal bureaucracy. Each of these demonstrations appears to have been sparsely attended, but both the number of protest sites and the timeline of events suggest a coordinated effort.

DOGE Uncovers Massive Unemployment Fraud Under Biden Administration

The depths of incompetence and potential fraud under the Biden administration seem to know no bounds. The DOGE team has uncovered yet another bombshell that should have every American taxpayer seeing red: the government paid out millions of dollars in unemployment benefits to people with birthdays in the future. Yes, you read that right.

Wait, We Outsourced the ‘Crown Jewel’ of Global Warming Research to Crackpot Climate Consultants?

We touched upon this briefly in March: liberals were going haywire that Russell Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget, would take a hatchet to the “crown jewel” of the climate change cult. The National Climate Assessment is a U.S. Global Change Research Program project. It’s a multi-billion-dollar operation sanctioned by Congress, but it only has two employees. They don’t do the study, so what’s the deal?

Trump assassination attempt suspect ‘tried to buy rocket launcher from Ukraine’

A man accused of plotting to assassinate Donald Trump at his golf club said the president was “not good for Ukraine” and tried to buy a rocket launcher.

Ryan Wesley Routh attempted to purchase a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) from someone he believed to be a Ukrainian arms dealer one month before allegedly attempting to kill Mr Trump.

Mr Routh communicated with someone he believed had access to the military via an encrypted messaging app.

The Poverty of the Criticism of Trump’s Agenda

The left rages against Trump but offers no real alternatives on debt, trade, or immigration—just noise, while results quietly pile up.

Two strange phenomena now characterize the political landscape.

One, opposition to the Trump administration’s initiatives has reached a near-unprecedented fever pitch.

The frenzy is manifested in strange ways. At the bottom end, there is an epidemic of street terrorism, including the keying of Teslas, bullying their owners, firebombing dealerships, or vandalizing charging stations.

This Nonprofit Got $22 Million in Government Grants to Teach Kids About Sex Toys

For nearly a decade, the federal government has funded a nonprofit group that works to educate minors about sex toys, while discouraging them from telling their parents about it. The Center for Innovative Public Health Research has received more than $22 million in federal money since 2016. According to its website, the group creates “health education programs” that “promote positive human development.” But the content of those programs—and the comments of the organization’s CEO, Michele Ybarra—suggest that CIPHR’s “human development” goals are anything but positive.

Taming the military-transfer complex

Dwight Eisenhower sounded the alarm about the military-industrial complex. What he did not anticipate was the military-transfer complex.

The military-transfer complex emerged in the Great Society Programs launched by Lyndon Johnson at the height of the Vietnam War. Politicians decided that we could have both guns and butter. Much of this military-transfer complex was financed with debt.

Trump wants Musk to stay with admin ‘as long as possible’ — hints that DOGE found something ‘horrible’

President Trump was adamant Thursday that he wants Elon Musk to be a part of his administration for “as long as possible,” teasing that the tech mogul’s team of government cost-cutters recently uncovered something “horrible.”

“I want Elon to stay as long as possible,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, before rattling off a list of reasons why he likes having the billionaire X owner around the White House.

“Number one: I like him. Number two: He’s doing a great job. Number three: He is a patriot,” the president said.

I worked in NPR’s extremist ‘bubble’ for 25 years… we looked down on normal Americans

When Uri Berliner began his career at National Public Radio 25 years ago, he did so with a sense of pride and the knowledge that his stories would be heard in all corners of the nation.

‘One of the things I found really kind of inspiring was, if I worked on a story, there might be a farmer in Nebraska on his tractor first thing in the morning listening to, you know, a story I worked on,’ he told the Daily Mail.

‘That was one of the reasons I wanted to work at NPR, because of its reach to all kinds of people. But, you know, I don’t know that farmer still listens.’
