NY Rep Elise Stefanik Asks Simple Questions About Antisemitism, Three Left-Wing Ivy League Presidents Collapse Under Spotlight
Posted originally on the CTH on December 9, 2023 | Sundance
Last Tuesday, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) pressed the presidents of the University of Pennsylvania, Harvard and MIT about rising antisemitism on college campuses and whether the speech calling for “intifada” or the elimination of the Jewish people violates their schools’ codes of conduct. The alarming responses are now leading to severe blowback on the presidents.
“Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Penn’s rules or code of conduct?” Rep. Stefanik asked. “It is a context-dependent decision,” replied UPenn’s Elizabeth Magill. “If the speech becomes conduct, it can be harassment.” Stefanik was stunned. “‘Conduct’ meaning committing the act of genocide?” an incredulous Rep. Stefanik asked. “The speech is not harassment. This is unacceptable.”
The New York Republican then went on to ask each of the university presidents the same series of questions.
“Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Harvard’s rules on bullying and harassment?” she asked Harvard’s Claudine Gay. “It can be, depending on the context,” Ms. Gay responded. “What’s the context?” Rep. Stefanik followed up. “Targeted at an individual,” the Harvard president said. “It’s targeted at Jewish students, Jewish individuals,” Rep. Stefanik shot back. “Do you understand your testimony is dehumanizing them? Do you understand that dehumanization is part of antisemitism?” WATCH:
Today, Ms. Liz Magill was removed from her position as U-Penn president.
(Politico) – […] University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill on Saturday voluntarily stepped down from her role after facing intense blowback following a House Education committee hearing this week.
Magill has agreed to stay in her role until an interim president is selected, according to a statement from Penn Trustee Board Chair Scott Bok.
“It has been my privilege to serve as President of this remarkable institution,” Magill said in the statement. “It has been an honor to work with our faculty, students, staff, alumni and community members to advance Penn’s vital mission.”
Magill, along with Harvard President Claudine Gay and Massachusetts Institute of Technology President Sally Kornbluth, participated in a contentious, more than five-hour grilling from lawmakers Tuesday over their response to antisemitism on their campuses.
[…] Magill is the first president to step down over a response to campus antisemitism. Stefanik called for all three presidents to be fired after the hearing. And in response to their testimony, several lawmakers and top officials across the aisle have slammed the presidents for refusing to say calls for “Jewish genocide” violate their codes of conduct around bullying or harassment.
[…] Stefanik, who led the toughest questioning at Tuesday’s hearing and has called for all of the presidents to be fired, wrote on X that Magill’s “forced resignation” is only the beginning for addressing antisemitism on college campuses.
“One down,” Stefanik said. “Two to go.” (read more)
This is what happens when we stop pretending the leftists are stable people; they are not.
Leftism, in the most modern and culturally Marxist ideology, is fraught with intended hypocrisy. If the word “Jew” had been replaced with any other characteristic of personage like black, Latino, gay, lesbian etc., and the same question about pronouncements for the elimination of people carrying those characteristics was questioned, the answers would have been entirely the opposite. This is the nature of hate-filled leftist thought.
Stefanik called it out openly; she did not pretend. Now we see the consequences.
Let us hope that more people can begin calling out the pretenses, the absurd ideological hypocrisy framed from hate, that forms the culturally Marxist mindset.

Former Police Officer Derek Chauvin Stabbed in Prison
Posted originallly on the CTH on November 25, 2023 | Sundance
It does not seem coincidental that shortly after the documentary of George Floyd ‘s death, “They’re Lying: The Media, The Left, and The Death of George Floyd,” which exposes the holes in the prevailing narrative surrounding George Floyd’s death, the malicious trial of Derek Chauvin and the fraud behind the criminal case, that Derek Chauvin would be attacked/stabbed at the prison.
(Via Associated Press) – Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd, was stabbed by another inmate and seriously injured Friday at a federal prison in Arizona, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.
The attack happened at the Federal Correctional Institution, Tucson, a medium-security prison that has been plagued by security lapses and staffing shortages. The person was not authorized to publicly discuss details of the attack and spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity.
The Bureau of Prisons confirmed that an incarcerated person was assaulted at FCI Tucson at around 12:30 p.m. local time Friday. In a statement, the agency said responding employees contained the incident and performed “life-saving measures” before the inmate, who it did not name, was taken to a hospital for further treatment and evaluation.

Derek Chauvin was wrongly convicted and purposefully left to fend for himself in the general prison population.
[…] Chauvin, 47, was sent to FCI Tucson from a maximum-security Minnesota state prison in August 2022 to simultaneously serve a 21-year federal sentence for violating Floyd’s civil rights and a 22½-year state sentence for second-degree murder.
Chauvin’s lawyer, Eric Nelson, had advocated for keeping him out of general population and away from other inmates, anticipating he’d be a target. In Minnesota, Chauvin was mainly kept in solitary confinement “largely for his own protection,” Nelson wrote in court papers last year. (read more)

Background, Migrants Imploding Welfare State Re-Posted Nov 14, 2023 By Martin Armstrong
People are coming to America for a better life at your expense. The excuse that migrants came here to work and contribute to our society does not match the statistics. As the NY Post recently reported, only 2% of 139,500 migrants in New York have applied for work permits, and thousands more are on their way to our cities to live off the welfare state.
New York received an influx of 2,800 additional people last week alone. There are 65,500 people living in shelters throughout the city at the expense of the taxpayer, and the mayor believes the city will spend of $2 billion this year on funding. We are putting more resources into supporting people who broke our laws by entering the country illegally than we do on our own citizens.
You can work your whole life and send countless funding into Social Security, only to receive the bare minimum upon retiring. You receive no interest on these funds and it is not optional to opt-out of contributing. The average retiree is expected to live on $1,555 per month, which is not enough to live in any US city.
Meanwhile, migrants are receiving a one-time payment of $2,275 and at least $1,225 per month which is more than they likely ever earned from their country of origin. Their room and board is on the taxpayers’ tab and there is no urgency for these people to enter the workforce. In fact, it seems as if they are encouraged to continue milking the welfare system to become utterly dependent on the state. I am stating figures from the US, but migrants are also living on the welfare system in Canada and every other Build Back Better country.
It is not economically feasible for the US to continue funding illegal immigration. And yet, thousands of people are crossing over into the US everyday and no one preventing the invasion of America.
Xi Cleans Up San Francisco Re-Posted Nov 14, 2023 By Martin Armstrong
The 2023 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Conference will be held in San Francisco this year. Those I know in the area have said their city seemingly changed overnight. The homeless mysteriously left, the litter had been cleaned from the streets, and urine and feces washed away. The graffiti has been covered, and roads have been repaved. The people of San Francisco can feel safe in their own homes for the first time in many years.
But this has happened many times over. I recall when Pope Francis came to visit Philadelphia. The homeless population magically disappeared and tent cities were dismantled. The city even funded rebuilding sections of the airport to make the city look safe and clean. A few weeks later, after the influx of Catholic tourists had left, the city reverted to the way it was before.
San Francisco has fallen. Crime is rampant, criminals are not prosecuted, and the cost of living has made it impossible for the average person to continue living there. Why pay for premium real estate in a city that is filthy and dangerous? Tourism is dead. Tax dollars have fled the city as those with the resources are fleeing. The city has been operating at an extreme deficit for many years as it continues throwing money at the drug and homeless crises rather than implementing fixes.
China’s Xi Jinping’s coming presence in San Francisco has promoted the government to reclaim the city. Clearly, they had the means to do this all along, but they would not have used those resources on US citizens. Numerous world leaders have commented that America has fallen. They have seen the condition of our current cities and realize that we are no longer the land of the free where the streets are paved in gold.
