The Ivy League is doubling down on Woke. As the shrill and often
incoherent din of radical demonstrations roils US college campuses, Yale
University has named a new president. Maurie McInnis becomes the first
non-interim female leader at the famed institution. While that may in
itself indicate a commitment to progressive “diversity” stylings, her
track record leaves no doubt in the matter.
McInnis, 58, was hired on May 29 from Long Island’s Stony Brook
University, where she had served as president since 2020. One does not
need to minutely pick through her time at SBU to find the academic
flavor Yale desires.
How I Got to Yale
“I have spent my career researching and writing predominantly about
the 19th century American South – the institution of slavery in the
pre-Civil war period and the memorialization of the Confederacy in the
post-Civil War period,” McInnis told the university in a published
interview as she began her tenure at Stony Brook.
“What strikes me, as a historian, is how the issues we are
discussing today are deeply rooted in America’s enslavement of
Africans,” she continued. “Systemic racism, economic inequality and
extreme acts of brutality toward black Americans are all connected to
the forced enslavement of Africans four centuries ago when in 1619 the
first ship of Africans forced into bondage arrived in Virginia.”
These words do not need interpretation for anyone who has followed
the credentialed academic assault on US history in recent years. Perhaps
the most notorious example is The New York Times’1619 Project spearheaded by Nikole Hannah-Jones, which declares that America was founded as a Slave Nation.
McInnis stresses she has “spent my career” obsessing about racial
divisiveness from two centuries ago. Fashionable takedowns of the
Confederate flag are a hallmark of her “scholarship.”
“The notion that the flag is a symbol of Southern heritage and
nothing more is an ahistorical one,” McInnis sweepingly asserted in an
article she penned for the leftist publication Slate in 2015,
when she was vice provost for academic affairs at the University of
Virginia. “From the moment it was designed it was intended to convey the
South’s reliance on the institution of slavery. When it has been
revived by later generations, they, too, have imbued it with meaning.
But it has always been a symbol of white power and racial oppression.”
As is readily apparent from this excerpt, the entire piece reads more
like ideological diatribe than rigorous historical research. In other
words, perfect future Ivy League material.
‘Expanded Mobilization of a Critical Social Movement’
At Stony Brook, McInnis emphasized the university’s commitment to the
struggle for radical social change. The 2020 Summer of George Floyd
sparked many a rash hot take as racial tensions were intentionally
stoked to a boiling point. But McInnis was every bit as agitated nearly a
year later as the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek
Chauvin was approaching a verdict.
“Last summer, George Floyd’s death elevated awareness of systemic
racism and inequity in our country, and the need for policing and
judicial reform,” read an April 16, 2021, Stony Brook “message” to the
“community” signed by McInnis in her role as president. “The past year
has seen the expanded mobilization of a critical social movement
demanding equality, accountability and a reevaluation of a judicial
system that has a long history of inequitable outcomes.”
As she fully hinted she would do in her 2020 introductory interview,
McInnis was seamlessly blending her academic work with the higher cause
of progressive social activism.
“As a great public research university and academic medical center,
we maintain a responsibility to foster an environment of critical
thinking and care, and to prepare our students to become effective
leaders who can address the challenges our society faces,” the SBU
missive continued. “We take seriously our charge to create opportunities
to learn from these events and to engage with our community in
contextualizing, understanding and strategically reacting to
culture-defining moments such as this.”
It’s no surprise, of course, that Yale would find all this enticing.
Along with its Ivy League comrades, the university plays a crucial role
in the progressive ruling establishment’s utilization of authoritative
credentialism to advance and solidify its agenda.
In March 2023, Yale Law School posted an astonishing document
the university authored in partnership with radical organizations
heavily funded by globalist billionaire George Soros’s Open Society
Foundations. It was meant to serve as a guide for Soros’s radical district attorneys in toppling laws against prostitution.
“The Yale Global Health Justice Partnership and the Sex Workers
Project of the Urban Justice Center have jointly released a handbook on
district attorneys’ policies of non-prosecution of sex work-related
charges,” Yale Law wrote. “The handbook supports advocates for sex
worker rights, prosecutors, policy makers, and other stakeholders to
develop, influence, track, and assess the operation and impact of
district attorney non-prosecution policies.”
Soros is not merely in the background here. He is front and center, side by side with Yale.
“The handbook is one product of the long-standing collaboration
between SWP and GHJP. This collaboration is supported by the Gruber
Project for Global Justice and Women’s Rights and the Open Society
Foundations,” the document states.
This is what an Ivy League education entails in 2024. Students who
accept their indoctrination are rewarded in the form of highly coveted
degrees that serve as passports to successful careers within a deeply
embedded progressive establishment nexus that dominates much of
academia, corporate America, media, medicine, science, government
staffing, and any other credentialed job title one can think of in our
tottering nation today.
Joe Biden is dumb, neurological impaired,
and the most corrupt President the nation has ever seen. Let's try and
get this absolutely right. All this falls at the feet of Joe Biden,
along with Obama, Soros, and a host of other contemptible people, starting with Jimmy Carter, all which
will be covered elsewhere.
Once you're willing to grasp that,
everything else falls into place. Since all this has taken place the
world can see just how contemptible they really are. Biden is a stooge,
and a dumb one at that. He's never been right on foreign policy in his
entire career, his domestic policies are a disaster, and he cares less
about Americans than he does his corvette.
Obama is blatantly a race hustling grifter who hates whites, Jews, Christians, and America, and was remarkably successful in corrupting every agency in the federal government, the military, and America's largest commercial enterprises. A monumental task for which he lacks the intellect, or the work ethic to bring into place. Which means there's a huge contingent of traitors and background manipulators in all these areas.
And I'll ask this once again. Can I see a show of hands on how many would have liked to see these two nitwits as President on December 7, 1941?
Let's review!
Ted Cruz Warns About Biden-Appointed 'Iranian Spies' Working In the US Gov't - Sarah ArnoldOctober 22, 2023 - Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)
is exposing the Biden Administration's involvement with Iranian spies
working within the United States government. This
weekend, Cruz joined "Sunday Morning Futures with host Maria Bartiromo"
on Fox News to uncover the truth about three "Iranian spies" allegedly

Joe Biden’s Iran Appeasement - By Warren Beatty October 13, 2023 - “Peace in our time,”
declared Joe Biden. No, wait, British Prime Minister Neville
Chamberlain said that on 30 September 1938, after returning from a
meeting with Adolf Hitler in Munich. Chamberlain effectively cleared the way for Hitler to annex the Sudeten portion of Czechoslovakia. Some historians have speculated that
Chamberlain’s appeasement was driven by Great Britain’s military being
inferior to Germany’s military at the time. That’s speculation even the
most ardent Biden-supporters cannot claim when the U.S. military, even
as woke as it currently is, is compared to the Iran or Hamas
military. But Hamas’s intention is the same as Germany’s. It wants to
“wipe Israel off the map” so the unoccupied land can become a Muslim
homeland............
Biden leaves Americans to pay their way out of Israel -
October 12, 2023 By Monica Showalter - As Brazil, Spain,
Poland and other nations fly their stranded nationals out of war-hit
Israel, the Biden administration is once again letting Americans fend for themselves as they did in Afghanistan.There are about 500,000 there now, 27
have been murdered by Hamas, and about two dozen remain missing. Many,
as the State Department has said are dual nationals and may want to stay
and fight. But other are clearly candidates for evacuation -- tourists,
church groups, the handicapped, medical patients, tech guys, artist
types, and others. According to Politico:......... Illegals rolling into the U.S. through Joe Biden's airlifts are another story..............
Exclusive – Ryan Zinke: Biden Admin in ‘Intelligence Denial’ over Iran’s Role in Attacks - Kristina Wong Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-MT), who served as a Navy
SEAL commander, said in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News that
the Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel on Saturday appeared to be
coordinated by America’s adversaries — led by Iran — and the Biden
administration is in “intelligence denial.” “Between Ukraine and the Middle East, I have to
believe it’s orchestrated. In recent weeks, we’ve had joint naval
operations with China, Iran, and Russia in the Persian Gulf. The first
assault with Hamas into Gaza was well-coordinated. You had air, land,
sea, you had thousands of rockets. And that takes a lot of
coordination,”.................
Biden Warned Netanyahu Not to Hit Hamas Too Hard By Daniel Greenfield • “We support Israel taking necessary and proportionate action.”
There’s been a pattern to these conflicts. Hamas launches an attack
on Israel. The White House announces that it has Israel’s back. Israel
carries out some air strikes. People die in the air strikes. Hamas
claims that there were a lot of civilian deaths. Local Arab Muslim
countries offer to negotiate a ceasefire. The White House pressures
Israel to accept and demands a timetable for the end of the fighting.
Considering the sheer horror and scale of the Hamas attack, the seeming
unity, will this play out any differently?...........
Biden Signals He’ll Link Israel Aid to Ukraine Aid - By Daniel Greenfield Exploiting Israel to score a political victory.
Biden’s speech on the brutal Hamas atrocities was a good speech, not
in that he delivered it well or especially convincingly (let’s not even
rehash the invented Golda Meir story) but it appeared to have been
written by someone who cared enough to inject it with moral outrage and
certainty. It would have been a better speech for someone else. But
rhetoric is relatively cheap in politics. More significant than
the moral outrage are the actual policy statements. As many noted,
there’s no mention of Iran. That’s not surprising as the
administration’s position is not to mention Iran. Here however is a
policy moment that cuts against the thrust of the speech. Policy, unlike
rhetoric, is all about specifics...................
Israel doesn’t need crocodile tearsOctober 10, 2023 By Ethel C. Fenig
October 10, 2023 - With their
crocodile tears, Israel’s supposed allies once again are revealing their
true (deadly) feelings. Although the European Union initially condemned
the evil attack against Israel, it quickly reversed course and didn’t........After all, the Europeans need Arab Muslim oil and Arab Muslim wealth
to advance the European green agenda. Also, the European nations must
be careful not to antagonize their invading, increasingly expanding Muslim population. And the few European tears quickly turned to dust. U.S. secretary of state Antony Blinken (D) initially tweeted support for Israel, but whoops — it disappeared. Thanks, Mary Katharine, for alerting us to his hypocrisy.......The Barack Obamas of the world aren’t fooling anyone. .............
Biden's Security Team Briefed US Senators on Hamas' Israel Attack and Drew an Unbelievable Conclusion Posted onOctober 10, 2023byLloyd Billingsley - This conclusion can’t be correct. Is the Biden White House so afraid
that they funded terrorism that they're giving half-baked/politically
motivated security briefings to members of Congress? It wouldn’t shock
me, as Joe Biden’s team is known for being epically incompetent or
outright liars. Fox News’ Jacqui Henrich had a Twitter thread about the
briefing and its unbelievable conclusion from intelligence officials:
there is no direct link between Iran and Hamas’ October 7 attack on
Israel. ..........
White House Botches Answer to Question About Re-Freezing Iran's $6 Billion - Spencer BrownOctober 10, 2023 - The Biden administration refused to consider the idea of re-freezing
the $6 billion released to Iran as part of a deal to exchange prisoners
earlier this year, even after explaining how Iran — for years — has
aided and facilitated Hamas terrorism. "You just laid out all the ways that Iran is complicit in [Hamas'
barbaric attack on Israel] and facilitated it over years of support for
Hamas — is that reason enough to re-freeze the $6 billion that the U.S.
helped unlock for them to get in exchange for the prisoners?" asked Fox
News Channel's Jacqui Heinrich in Tuesday's White House press briefing...........
Ted Cruz Speaks Hard Truths on Hamas' Attack on Israel: 'Paid for By Joe Biden and the Democrats' - On Saturday, Hamas attacked Israel, making it the bloodiest day in the
country's history and resulting in more Jews dead since the end of the
Holocaust. Meanwhile, the Biden administration's response was less than
ideal in many ways. This is especially with regards to the $6 billion
that the United States released to Iran as part of a prisoner exchange, a
move that was announced on the anniversary of September 11, no less.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in his Monday edition of "The Verdict," was among
those calling out the administration for this, but also other, moves.........
Alex Marlow: Joe Biden Bears Responsibility for Hamas’s Terror Attack on Israelis - Alexander MarlowWe
can’t say we weren’t warned. Joe Biden’s abject incompetence at foreign
policy is legendary. “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f..k things
up,” former President Barack Obama reportedly warned
a fellow Democrat during the 2020 primary. Former Defense Secretary
Robert Gates said in 2014 that Biden “has been wrong on nearly every
major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four
decades.” Biden’s record somehow has only gotten worse since he became president.
Biden Admin's Lies About Aid to Gaza are Totally Unbelievable - Spencer BrownOctober 09, 2023 - White House aides spent the weekend crying about "misinformation" from
those critical of the Biden administration's decision to unfreeze $6
billion for Iran — the financial and often strategic backer of Hamas and
other anti-Israel terrorist organizations — as well as seeking to
dispel talk that "aid" money Biden sent to Gaza boosted Hamas
terrorists.........
Bombshell Report: Biden Now Two Degrees of Separation from Slaughter of Israelie - By C. Douglas Golden
October 9, 2023 - Nice work, President Joe Biden. Barely two months ago, your administration announced a plan to
release $6 billion in frozen Iranian assets as part of a prisoner swap
with Tehran. That was a bad idea then — and it became a worse idea over
the weekend, when Iran announced it stood behind Hamas after its massive
attack on Israel. Now, it turns out that not only did Iran back Hamas with its words,
it helped the terrorist group plan its assault on the Jewish state from
its base of operations in the Gaza Strip, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal........
Once again, Bob Gates was right about Joe Biden- October 9, 2023 By James Poplar - It is no secret that
our former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Director of the
Central Intelligence Agency was not a fan of Joe Biden when he saw him
up close and personal as a member of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee and as our Vice President. Gates was present when then Vice
President Biden urged President Obama, over the advice of the Chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, not to launch the daring raid that
ultimately took out Osama bin Laden. His famous statement in Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War:.........
How Obama Enabled Hamas’ Terror Attack on Israel- by Frontpagemag.com -The Radical-in-Chief helped spawn the jihad terror group's current mayhem and destruction inside the Jewish state............... In
Jerusalem, 2017 began with a terrorist ramming a truck into
Israeli cadets who were getting off the bus. Four of the Israelis, three
of them women, were killed, and over a dozen more were injured. Fadi
al-Qanbar, the terrorist, was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers, but
his widow was set to receive a lifetime monthly pension of 2,900 Israeli
shekels from the Palestinian Authority for his crime.The average salary
in the West Bank is 1,720 NIS. Even though the terrorist had allegedly
been inspired by ISIS, the Palestinian Authority media had described him
as a “Shahid” or religious martyr for Islam.
Despite this latest act, which demonstrated the linkage between our
foreign aid to the Palestinian Authority, Islamic terrorism, even
terrorism related to ISIS, and the murder of Israelis, the money kept
coming. A few weeks after the mass murder of Israelis in Jerusalem, the
Obama administration rushed to transfer $221 million in funds to the
Palestinian Authority that Republicans had been blocking...............
The Biden Regime Should Admit the Real Causes of the Jihad Against Israel - By Robert SpencerOctober 9, 2023 - Twenty-two
years after 9/11, the jihadis’ best friends are in the White House.
When Hamas launched its latest jihad war against Israel, the Biden
regime’s initial response was mind-numbingly predictable. At 2:58AM on
Saturday, the U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs tweeted
in Arabic: “The US Embassy is closely monitoring the security situation
as a result of rockets being fired from Gaza through southern and
central Israel, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, and the infiltration
of Hamas activists.” Yeah, “activists” with balaclavas and rifles,
committing murder wherever they had the chance. .............
Biden Is Making the World Dangerous Again - Jeff CrouereOct 09, 2023 - As President Donald Trump has stated many times, “We are closer to
World War III than we've ever been.” With Biden as President, the world
has become a much more dangerous place. While China escalates their
militaristic threats against Taiwan, Russia continues with its invasion
of Ukraine, which may continue for years. The latest war was
launched by the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas into southern
Israel on the Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret. The latest reports
indicate that at least 700 people have died, scores of Israeli citizens and military personnel were taken hostage and more than 2,200 are injured. Hamas
attacked by land, sea, and air, with armed terrorists using paragliders
to cross into the country. According to Israeli defense officials, at
least 2,500
rockets were fired by Hamas. According to Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu, Israel is now “at war" for the first time since 1973............
Inevitable: U.S. Weapons from Afghanistan Ended up in Gaza -Kristina Wong A claim in a news report that American weapons
seized in Afghanistan have ended up in the hands of Palestinian groups
operating in the Gaza Strip has taken on renewed significance after
Hamas, a Palestinian terrorist group, launched an attack on Israel on
Saturday. According to a Newsweekreport published
in June, an Israeli commander said some of the US. small arms seized in
Afghanistan have already been observed in the hands of Palestinian
groups operating in the Gaza Strip..............
Biden World On Defense: Says No Taxpayer Dollars Used by Terrorists - Pam Key - Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Sunday on CNN’s “State of
the Union” that none of the $6 billion released by the U.S. for
humanitarian aid in Iran was used to help fund Hamas’ attack against
Israel on Saturday, which resulted in hundreds of deaths. Anchor Dana Bash said, “While we’re talking about Iran, I have to ask
you to, if you want to respond to what we’re hearing from Republicans
who are over and over since this happened using word appeasement when it
comes to Iran and they criticized the decision to unfreeze $6 billion
in Iranian funds. I know and want to state that that money has not yet
been unfrozen. Iran does not yet have it. But the accusation is
that…your administration posture towards Iran has helped contribute to
this. I want to give you a chance to respond.”..............
Ex-Trump NSA: Biden’s Ransom to Iran Incentivized Hamas to Take Americans - Kristina Wong - Former Trump National Security Adviser Robert

terrorist attacks across the country.............
Bidenites gaslight about where that $6 billion to Iran went -- and get debunked handily- October 8, 2023 By Monica Showalter
- Joe Biden's minions
and allies have got their talking points now, and would have you think
that that $6 billion they released to Iran last September 11 had
nothing, nothing at all, to do with the surprise attack and atrocities
warfare launched by Hamas against civilians in Israel. Here's a
particularly ignorant statement, from, sadly, a Fox News correspondent,
who at a minimum doesn't think things through...............
Weapons Left In Afghanistan, Thanks to Biden's Botched Withdrawal, Are Being Used To Attack Israel - Sarah ArnoldOctober 08, 2023- Palestinian
militants are reportedly using U.S. weapons left behind by President Joe
Biden's botched Afghanistan withdrawal to attack Israel. According
to a high-ranking Israel Defense Forces (IDF) commander, U.S. weapons
left in Afghanistan after Biden's disastrous withdrawal have ended up in
the hands of Palestinian groups active in the Gaza Strip............
James Biden, Joe’s brother, had become a principal at
Americore whose business model was based on buying and turning around
rural hospitals. But the turnaround was into the grave.
Obamacare had hit rural hospitals hard, forcing many of them to shut
down. By Obama’s last year in office, 4% of rural hospitals had closed
down, and hundreds more were on the brink. And the Bidens had figured
out a way to profit from the devastation caused by Obama-Biden.
“His brother was very interested in rural health care and very
interested in veterans’ health care, and it was something he really
wanted to get behind,” an Americore executive recalled Biden telling
him. “This would help his brother get elected.”
The hospitals were trashed and patient care fell apart, but James Biden was making money.............
Obama, Iran and the Road to Gaza - Daniel GreenfieldWe’re still living out the consequences of Obama’s worldview. In 2014, Hamas kidnapped and killed three teens, including Naftali
Frenkel, an American 16-year-old. “I’ve murdered three Jews,” the killer
boasted. As Israel battled Hamas, Obama called for a ceasefire. “I have no
sympathy for Hamas. I have great sympathy for ordinary people who are
struggling within Gaza,” he argued, while describing the terrorists as
having behaved “extraordinarily irresponsibly”. “The US goal right now would be to make sure that the ceasefire
holds, that Gaza can begin the process of rebuilding,” Obama said and
urged that there needs to be “some prospects for an opening of Gaza so
that they do not feel walled off.” After the fighting died down, the Palestinian Authority asked for $4
billion to rebuild Gaza, the international community pledged $5.4
billion with $212 million of it coming from America..............
Is Israel’s biggest danger from the Biden White House?- October 19, 2023 By Susan D. Harris - Renowned journalist
and Middle East expert Caroline Glick says Israel is now facing dangers
from a quarter no one anticipated: the Biden administration. During yesterday’s broadcast of “The Caroline Glick Show“ on JNS TV, Glick outlined how her own sources described what’s been happening behind the scenes. Speaking from her home in Israel, Glick said, “We are in danger of losing ... sovereign control over our military.” She then presented what sources told her really happened when secretary of state Tony Blinken met with Israel’s war cabinet on Monday. “From what came out of the meeting, Tony
Blinken wasn’t trying to help Israel at all. What he was doing was
demanding that Israel enable resupply to Gaza, the euphemism of which is
‘humanitarian aid.’” She continued to say that Blinken threatened to
withhold American war materiel from Israel, such as bunker buster bombs
and regular ordinance..............
Hamas shows U.S. the danger of foreign aid -
October 19, 2023 By Connor Vasile - President Biden recently condemned Hamas’ attack on Israeli civilians. “It’s abhorrent,” he said. “The brutality of Hamas’ bloodthirstiness brings to mind the worst rampages of ISIS.” Our aged commander-in-chief must have forgotten the $6 billion in “humanitarian aid” he sent to Iran over the last month. Though the Biden administration is scrambling to freeze the transfer, it’s too late; Iran has already freed up its own funds to support terrorist activity. Despite White House calls for ceasefire and deescalation, it’s hard to ignore the fact that Hamas’ new war is partly funded and coordinated by
the Iranian terrorist regime, which has been reinvigorated with
billions of dollars from the American government. America needs to
rethink its copious “humanitarian” support of hostile states. For starters, the U.S. should stop sending aid to corrupt nations that want to see it wiped from the face of the earth........
