Billionaire Harvard donor not donating to Harvard after Gay went neo-Nazi in. Congressional hearing

"I have not yet begun to fight"

Jewish billionaire Len Blavatnik and his family foundation have donated over $270,000,000 to Harvard University in the past. Now that Harvard's affirmative action president Claudine Gay has come out as a plagiaristic Jew-hater the philanthropist has decided to stop shelling out money to an organization that refuses to condemn genocide against Jews, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday.

Ukrainian-born Blavatnik, is worth over $31 billion and Harvard would clearly like to keep getting his monetary support in order to push DEI and other woke bull crap, but refusing to label the call for genocide against the Jewish people harassment or bullying under Harvard's policies, when misgendering a person or saying there are two genders is grounds for expulsion, is a bridge too far for Blavatnik.

He is only the latest donor to close his wallet in protest after Gay refused to call out genocide when she along with the other two stooges basically mouthed the same claims that it all depended upon the "context" and "behavior."

"The problem Harvard has is that all their sources of revenue are strained," David Bergeron told Bloomberg. He is a former deputy assistant secretary in the U.S. Education Department. "Their ability to raise money is clearly strained and their ability to leverage federal programs is potentially at risk."

Gay is facing pressure to resign not only for her antisemitic leanings, but also her alleged plagiarism that has now been growing like a tumor.

Bill Ackman, another billionaire investor and influential Harvard alum, is pushing for the university to fire so called Doctor Gay, claiming her handling of antisemitism on campus since the Oct. 7 terrorist attack by Hamas on Israel has cost the university more than a billion dollars in donations.

However, Harvard and a number of other top universities, receive bribe money from the Middle East to gain influence on what is being taught, so it isn't as if all funding for Harvard is going to dry up; and they still have an enormous tuition income. They'll continue to get foreign funding, but the cut-off of private money is bound to hurt.

Fox Business reported that in a letter to Harvard's governing boards of directors posted on X Sunday, Ackman argued Gay "has done more damage to the reputation" of the institution than any other individual in its nearly 500-year history, going through a litany of criticisms over her leadership which he says has contributed to major donors withdrawing significant gifts that are adding up.

"President Gay’s failures have led to billions of dollars of cancelled, paused, and withdrawn donations to the university," Ackman wrote. "I am personally aware of more than a billion dollars of terminated donations from a small group of Harvard’s most generous Jewish and non-Jewish alumni."

Ackman added, "I have been copied and blind copied on numerous letters and emails to the University from alums who have written scathing letters to Gay and/or the Board withdrawing donations."

Ackman called for the resignations of all three stooges: UPenn's Liz Magill (who finally "resigned"), Sally Kornbluth of MIT, and the present stooge discussed here. The three of them refused to say that calling for genocide of the Jews on their campuses violated the rules and amounted to harassment.

One down and two to go.

Google 'idiot' get photos of Trump

Do you know if you Google the word "idiot" photos of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, comes up?

Democratic Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren pointed this out at the congressional hearing to the CEO of Google, Sundar Pichai. The purpose of the hearing was to determine whether Google displays bias among the website searches. Take a guess.

Pichai explained to Congress (a body of individuals whose combined knowledge of computers adds up to that of a twelve-year-old child) why searching for 'idiot' turns up pictures of Trump.

“If you Google the word ‘idiot’ under images, a picture of Donald Trump comes up. I just did that. How would that happen?” Lofgren asked.

Pichai answered by explaining that Google’s searches are based on multiple factors that determine the end result. [See video below for the exchange.]

“We take the keyword and match it against their pages and rank them based on over 200 signals -- things like relevance, freshness, popularity, how other people are using it,” he testified. “Based on that, at any given time, we try to rank and find the best search results for that query.”

Trump’s face also appears on Google image searches for “stupid” and “racist.”

Okay, that seems to make sense, although it's very disrespectful to the office of the president and can probably be controlled in a civil way if Google really tried harder.

I googled the word 'idiot' early in the morning and some interesting results came up:
1. "Google Image Search makes Trump the World's Top Idiot, but is it fair?"--South China Morning Post
2. "Google Hearing Sees 'Idiot' Trending"--BBC.com [There is a photo of Trump and he wasn't even at the hearing.]
3. "This is why you get Trump's image when you Google 'idiot'"--Nairobi News 
Then about thirty minutes later I googled the word again--here's what came up:
4. "His worst nightmares: Trump's life under a legal microscope"--CNN
5. "Reasons to Worry? Trump Endures Turbulent Week"--The Guardian
6. "Trump's Interior Chief to Step Down as Pressure Mounts from Ethics Inquiries"--Bloomberg
I now ask, how is this not bias results? The wording of the headline's first article is clearly anti-Trump and it literally calls him an idiot.

Number two's wording speaks about trends and couples the word 'idiot' with Trump's photo taking away any doubts that the president and the word go together.

Three is just disgusting.

After thirty minutes CNN was the top site to respond about Trump's woes when you google the word 'idiot.' What the president's problems are, and what the word 'idiot' have in common is unclear, but CNN will use any opportunity to attack him and his administration.

Think of the Honduran father whose 7-year-old child died of malnutrion and dehydration after the dangerous journey to illegally cross the Mexican-U.S. border. The media is blaming Trump, when it's obvious the father should be put behind bars for not feeding or giving water to his child. But blame the U.S. Border Patrol and by extension, Trump.

Looking at 5 and 6, all you see is negative press about Trump and the administration, both having nothing to do with the word 'idiot.' But Google says that relevance is one of the main criteria for how results are displayed, and there is no obvious relevance in these articles. It's just a way to attack Trump.

The mainstream media are the real idiots and Google is their partner.

You may not like everything President Trump says or does, but it's appalling the way he is treated by those with the power to communicate and influence.

Also, it's damn scary because it works.

Trump wins, Stormy loses

Los Angeles -- A federal judge on Monday threw out the case of porn-film performer Stormy Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford against President Trump on free-speech grounds [aka: the First Amendment].

"The court agrees with Mr. Trump's argument because the tweet in question constitutes 'rhetorical hyperbole' normally associated with politics and public discourse in the U.S.," U.S. District Judge S. James Otero said in a ruling Monday, according to Bloomberg News. "The First Amendment protects this type of rhetorical statement."

The "Stormster" [as people who "know" her say] sued the president in April over a tweet in which he denied her claims of being threatened by a man [who looks exactly like her ex-husband, by the way] in a Las Vegas parking lot in 2011.

She said the man was threatening her for going public about an alleged sexual encounter with Trump in 2006. The president denied the affair took place and cast doubt on her story of being threatened [by an alleged guy who looks exactly like her ex-husband, by the way].

Not known for being Twitter-shy, President Trump tweeted: "A sketch years later about a nonexistent man. A total con job, playing the Fake News Media for Fools (but they know it)!" He also tweeted a side-by-side image of the sketch with a photo of her ex-husband.

"The ruling also states that the President is entitled to an award of his attorneys' fees against Stormy Daniels," Trump's attorney Charles Harder said in a statement to Fox News. "No amount of spin or commentary by Stormy Daniels or her lawyer, Mr. [Michael] Avenatti, can truthfully characterize today's ruling in any way other than total victory for President Trump and total defeat for Stormy Daniels. [You know Trump told Harder to put that part in the statement.]  The amount of the award for President Trump's attorneys' fees will be determined at a later date."

Avenatti, a rather horrible lawyer, previously said the president's tweet damaged Daniels' credibility by portraying her as a liar. He responded to the ruling via Twitter: "Judge's limited ruling: Daniels' other claims against Trump and Cohen proceed unaffected. Trump's contrary claims are as deceptive as his claims about the inauguration attendance. We will appeal the dismissal of the defamation cause of action and are confident in a reversal."

Avenatti is a publicity whore who is using this case to remain relevant as he plans to throw his hat in the ring for the 2020 presidential race. Imagine the fun it would be in debating Trump--but it'll never happen.

Daniels' lawsuit over a hush-money deal is pending and Avenatti said he wants and needs to keep the case alive, so that his presidential ambitions remain alive as well.

Just like she is used as a sex object in her films, Daniels is  Avenatti's is using her to further his ambitions for the coming presidential election.

Sorry Charlie, no more good times

CBS, Bloomberg and PBS have now fired talk show host and leftist journalist Charlie Rose on Tuesday after eight women accused him of sexual harassment and unwanted advances in a report in The Washington Post.  

"A short time ago we terminated Charlie Rose's employment with CBS News, effective immediately," a CBS statement posted on Twitter by CBS News President David Rhodes read. "This followed the revelation yesterday of extremely disturbing and intolerable behavior said to have revolved around his PBS program."

PBS also issued a statement announcing its professional divorce with Rose whose self-titled show began airing in 1991.

"In light of yesterday's revelations, PBS has terminated its relationship with Charlie Rose and cancelled distribution of his programs. PBS expects all the producers we work with to provide a workplace where people feel safe and are treated with dignity and respect," PBS said.

Bloomberg TV also confirmed that it severed ties with Rose but had no comment as male staff sweated profusely even as the weather grows colder.

Rose, 75, allegedly groped women acquaintances and walked around in his birthday suit in their presence. The women were either employees at the "Charlie Rose" show or had hopes of working for the show.

Rose apologized, said he feels embarrassed, and he hopes everything will go away.

Americans Renounce Citizenship in Droves

According to Bloomberg News, Americans living abroad are renouncing their US citizenship in record numbers. In fact, there has been an 18% increase thus far in 2015, amounting to 1335 expatriations, the report claims.

The big reason for renouncing citizenship?

Laws requiring expanded bank reporting and new tax compliance requirements are making it difficult for Americans living abroad to accept the idea that they should pay Uncle Sam for the "no representation" they receive.

In 2014, there were 3415 Americans who gave up their American citizenship, and this year the country is on a record run to beat that figure.

At least the Obama administration can say they hold the record for the number of people giving up their American roots. 



Somehow I believe it doesn't bother our POTUS in the least. After all, it leaves room for more illegal aliens to put down roots here, vote Democratic and run this country into a ditch.
