The Wall Street Journal: Harvard Has Trained So Many Chinese Communist Officials, They Call It Their ‘Party School’

For decades, the [Chinese Communist] party has sent thousands of mid-career and senior bureaucrats to pursue executive training and postgraduate studies on U.S. campuses, with Harvard University a coveted destination described by some in China as the top “party school” outside the country.

Alumni of such programs include a former vice president and Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s top negotiator in trade talks with the first Trump administration.

Americans spend gargantuan amounts of money on education. Just K-12 costs $17,277 per student each year. For state and local governments, 8.5% of their entire budget is allocated to higher education, i.e., colleges and universities — more than what’s spent on highways, roads, police, courts, jails, and housing.

These colleges and universities also stuff their pockets with federal grants. In 2023, Americans spent nearly $60 billion on research and development grants alone.

FBI Wants Us to Report Hospitals Still Butchering Kids – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

Over the past decade, radical gender ideology hasn’t just crept into American life; it’s steamrolled through it. Hollywood worships it, government institutions promote it, and the medical establishment? They’ve cashed in. What used to be unthinkable is now mainstream, all because the left decided biology is optional and profit is paramount.

We’re talking about irreversible hormone treatments and surgeries pushed on vulnerable, confused people — many of them kids — who’ve been sold the lie that “transitioning” is the magic fix for all their problems. It’s not. It’s a one-way ticket to lifelong medical dependence and regret. But that’s the point, isn’t it? The system doesn’t want healing; it wants customers.

After years of the Biden administration condoning the mutilation of vulnerable children in the name of “gender-affirming care,” the Trump administration is standing up to protect children.

While many hospitals have finally backed away from these barbaric procedures on minors, thanks to mounting legal and public pressure, others continue to dig in. In several Democrat-run states, officials are openly defying the new federal directive, prioritizing politics over the well-being of children.

Dems Look To Create New Think Tank To ‘Get Away From Woke, Identity Politics’– dailycaller.com

Some Democrats are looking to create a new think tank in an effort to urge the Democratic Party to promote more popular political positions, Politico first reported on Tuesday.

During a private meeting with several Democratic donors and leaders in April, Adam Jentleson — who had previously served as chief of staff to Democratic Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman and a top aide to former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid — pitched an idea to establish a new think tank called Searchlight, according to Politico. The think tank’s goal would be to encourage the Democratic Party to refocus on positions that are viewed as more widely popular among Americans ahead of the 2028 presidential election, five anonymous sources told Politico.

Seth London, who serves as an adviser to major Democratic donors, is working on the effort alongside Jentleson, according to Politico. The report comes as the Democratic Party is strategizing on how best to reconnect with voters they lost in the 2024 election cycle.

Missouri Measure Would Overturn Amendment 3, Reinstate Abortion Ban– www.lifenews.com

Excerpt:

Missouri voters may soon revisit the state’s abortion laws, following a new proposal from Republican lawmakers aiming to reverse a 2024 amendment that established a right to abortion in the state constitution.

Pro-abortion Amendment 3, narrowly approved by Missouri voters in the 2024 election, followed the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade and returned abortion regulation to the states.

On May 14, Missouri lawmakers approved a new ballot measure that seeks to offer a different legal framework, Politico reported. It would only allow abortion in limited cases — such as rape, incest, and medical emergencies — while also requiring parental consent for minors. It would also prohibit “gender transition” procedures for children. Although these surgeries are already banned in Missouri, the measure would enshrine those protections in state law.

A US federal court has blocked President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs, in a major blow to a key component of his economic policies.

The Court of International Trade ruled that an emergency law invoked by the White House did not give the president unilateral authority to impose tariffs on nearly every country.

The Manhattan-based court said the US Constitution gave Congress exclusive powers to regulate commerce with other nations and this was not superseded by the president’s remit to safeguard the economy.

The Trump administration lodged an appeal within minutes of the ruling.

‘Being Catholic in public is not an offense on Columbia’s campus,’ free speech expert says 

Following complaints, Columbia University’s Office of Institutional Equity recently confronted graduate student Daniel Di Martino for comments he made on social media expressing his Catholic beliefs and criticizing transgenderism.

Di Martino told The Fix the matter is now closed — but only after he went public. The doctoral student said the university closed the investigation after he published a story in City Journal detailing what happened.

The incident began when Di Martino “received an email from the OIE accusing [him] of ‘conduct that could constitute discriminatory harassment’” earlier this year, he wrote in his City Journal piece.

“The message included no details, and when [he] asked for clarification, OIE didn’t provide any,” Di Martino wrote. Then, three university officials called Di Martino in for a meeting to tell him he had been the subject of “multiple complaints.”

We here at the Louder with Crowder Dot Com website have been viewing the Jake Tapper media tour with a degree of amusement. He’s promoting his “now it can be told” book, which claims that everything we said about Joe Biden was true (with that other quiet guy who sits next to him looking weird). Now, Tapper is admitting how everything we said about Democrats and the media is true.

But this new clip of him, a CNN employee, blasting the media for letting Democrats get away with the lawfare they declared on Donald Trump… what do you even say to this?

To set the stage, since Tapper was a guest on Stephen A. Smith’s podcast, here is Stephen A. pointing out the true crime committed by the People Who Controlled Joe Biden Administration as exposed in the book: it makes Donald Trump look right about everything.

Well, if you were willing to do that, then doesn’t it strengthen his argument that lawfare is being used against him?

Supreme Court Allows Massachusetts School to Ban Student for Wearing ‘There Are Only Two Genders’ T-Shirt – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

Excerpt:

The Supreme Court let stand a lower court decision that allowed a public school in Massachusetts to prevent a 7th grader identified in court documents as “L.M.” from wearing a T-shirt that read, “There are Only Two Genders.”

The student was given the option of removing the shirt or going home. When he returned, he was wearing a shirt that read, “There Are CENSORED Genders.” Rather than miss more school, the student took off the shirt.

The parents sued on First Amendment grounds but were denied relief by an appeals court.

Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas wrote a scorching dissent based on the First Amendment rights enjoyed by students. That right was codified in a 1969 decision, Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, where the Supreme Court allowed students to wear a black armband to protest the Vietnam War.

Justice Abe Fortas famously wrote that students do not “shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate.” The exception Fortas cited was “disruptive speech.”

The Harvard Crimson reports:

In Trump’s Orders, Harvard’s Most International School Sees a Crisis

At the Harvard Kennedy School, the Trump administration’s attempt to revoke Harvard’s eligibility to enroll international students — temporarily blocked in court — could eliminate nearly 60 percent of the student body.

HKS is Harvard’s most international school, and the proportion of international students there has grown over recent years, reaching a record high of 59 percent in 2024. The announcement that international students might have to transfer or face deportation sent shockwaves across the Kennedy School — as students feared being displaced and faculty worried that the Kennedy School’s identity as a global center for public policy scholarship could hang in the balance.

Trump Threatens To Cut Funding To CA Over Trans Inclusion Policies For Athletes– www.louderwithcrowder.com

Excerpt:

 

Despite national efforts to make biology a reality again, many states, including California, have not received that memo. This is why Trump said what needed to be said.

Trump has threatened to cut federal funding to the Golden State if officials don’t get their act together and make sports sane again, as a trans track athlete has been allowed to dominate the women’s division and plans to attend CIF finals this weekend.

High school junior AB Hernandez is a trans track athlete. Or, in other words, he’s a man. It’s unclear if he would have been capable of fairly competing against those with the same chromosomes as him, but you do the math. Nonetheless, she (he) had previously vowed to stick to the haters by stealing titles away from girls who had dedicated so much time to the sport. He has since made good on that promise with the help of state athletic officials, who have turned a blind eye to the integrity of the game.

This was all done despite national efforts to make gender great again, which is why Trump is now threatening to cut federal funds from the state if they don’t do what is morally and biologically correct.

According to the New York Post:

Trump also warned that he will order “local authorities, if necessary, to not allow” a transgender athlete to compete in the state finals this weekend. The threat comes ahead of a planned phone call with Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

“California, under the leadership of Radical Left Democrat Gavin Newscum, continues to ILLEGALLY allow ‘MEN TO PLAY IN WOMEN’S SPORTS,’” Trump grumbled on Truth Social Tuesday.

“THIS IS NOT FAIR, AND TOTALLY DEMEANING TO WOMEN AND GIRLS. Please be hereby advised that large scale Federal Funding will be held back, maybe permanently, if the Executive Order on this subject matter is not adhered to.”

Excerpt:

On May 20, the Supreme Court granted Maine Rep. Laurel Libby’s application for an injunction pending appeal, which means she will again be allowed to vote in the Maine legislature as her case proceeds.

In February, a male athlete identifying as female won the Maine state championship in girls’ pole vaulting. Libby posted on social media that the athlete had previously competed in the male division and placed fifth.

Libby stated that it was unfair for male athletes to compete against females due to their intrinsic athletic advantages.

House Speaker Ryan Fecteau asked Libby to remove the post, but she refused, saying, “I won’t apologize for speaking the truth and defending our women and girls in Maine that are being discriminated against.”

She was then censured, with a resolution passing by a 75-70 party-line vote to remove both her right to vote and right to speak in the Maine House of Representatives.

Pro-Life Groups Ask Trump Admin to Investigate Abortions of Five Full-Term Babies– www.lifenews.com

Excerpt:

Conservative and pro-life groups are again asking the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate five aborted babies found near a Washington, D.C. clinic in 2022 now that President Donald Trump is back in office.

Nine organizations sent a letter Tuesday to U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro sounding the alarm about pro-life activists’ discovery of the bodies in containers from the Washington Surgi-Clinic. Some of the babies discovered were so large that they brought suspicion of illegal partial-birth or post-birth abortions, and the Biden administration only prosecuted those who protested at the clinic in 2020.

“In 2022, pro-life activists in Washington, D.C., discovered possible violations of the Partial-Birth Abortion Act and the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act,” reads the letter from Advancing American Freedom, Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, Students for Life, Concerned Women for America, Family Research Council, Live Action, Human Coalition, Catholic Vote and American Family Association.

EMMANUEL Macron and his wife Brigitte have put on a united front for the world’s cameras a day after the shocking face slap drama.

Viral footage that has overshadowed the start of the couple’s Southeast Asia tour shows the French leader’s wife shoving him in the mouth and jaw after landing in Vietnam.

Furious Macron attempted to downplay the incident last night by claiming the pair were “squabbling and, rather joking”.

He added that the unbelievable incident has been overblown into “a sort of geo-planetary catastrophe”.

The French leader also argued that the clip and viral reaction to it offered a cautionary tale about disinformation in the social media age.

Today, Macron and the First Lady were captured arm-in-arm after arriving at Hanoi’s University of Science and Technology for the French president to make a speech.

In extremely rare move, Harvard revokes tenure and cuts ties with star business professor

Harvard University has stripped a world-renowned scholar of her tenure status. The university’s top governing board, the Harvard Corporation, decided this month to revoke Francesca Gino’s tenure and end her employment at Harvard Business School.

Gino, who was celebrated for her research on honesty and ethical behavior, had faced scathing allegations of academic misconduct and fraud.

Several sources tell GBH News that Harvard administrators notified business faculty of their decision during a closed-door meeting this past week, and a university spokesperson confirmed the move. Gino did not immediately respond to several requests for comment.

Pam Bondi’s DOJ Files Federal Lawsuit Against Small Idaho Town for Targeting Evangelical Church– conservativeroof.com

Excerpt:

President Trump’s Department of Justice has filed a federal lawsuit against Troy, Idaho’s far-left leadership, accusing them of deliberately targeting a Christian congregation simply for holding worship services.

The lawsuit, United States v. City of Troy, delivers a blistering rebuke of local officials who weaponized zoning laws to shut down Christ Church, a growing evangelical congregation based in nearby Moscow, Idaho.

Trump’s DOJ alleges that city leaders engaged in blatant discrimination, suppressing the church’s right to assemble while letting secular groups operate freely in the exact same zone.

Christ Church, unable to accommodate its growing congregation in Moscow, looked to expand into Troy.

They attempted to rent a vacant downtown bank building for Sunday services—a common-sense solution, considering it had sat empty for over a year and offered plenty of street parking.
