Quotations from Chairman Maher;

Katherine Maher has a golden résumé, with stints and affiliations at UNICEF, the Atlantic Council, the World Economic Forum, the State Department, Stanford University, and the Council on Foreign Relations. She was chief executive officer and executive director of the Wikimedia Foundation. And, as of last month, she is CEO of National Public Radio. […]

What you notice first about Maher’s public speech are the buzzwords and phrases: “structural privilege,” “epistemic emergency,” “transit justice,” “non-binary people,” “late-stage capitalism,” “cis white mobility privilege,” “the politics of representation,” “folx.” She supported Black Lives Matter from its earliest days. She compares driving cars with smoking cigarettes. She is very concerned about “toxic masculinity.”

On every topic, Maher adopts the fashionable language of left-wing academic theory and uses it as social currency, even when her efforts veer into self-parody. She never explains, never provides new interpretation—she just repeats the phrases, in search of affirmation and, when the time is right, a promotion.

Maher understands the game: America’s elite institutions reward loyalty to the narrative. Those who repeat the words move up; those who don’t move out.

Let her explain more clearly: “Our reverence for the truth might be a distraction that’s getting in the way of finding common ground and getting things done.”

“I think this is likely to be the worst budget since the [then-finance minister Allan] MacEachen budget of 1982, in the sense of pointing us in the wrong direction as to how we go about raising the incomes of Canadians and actually making Canadians feel better over the medium term,” Dodge said in an interview on CTV News Channel’s Power Play with Vassy Kapelos.

In a time of high interest rates and inflation, the 1982-83 federal budget, under then-prime minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau, became the object of political fury over spending, taxation, and wage restraint measures within it.

Dodge, who was governor from 2001 to 2008, was referencing the strong indications that in order to help finance the nearly $40 billion in pre-announced new spending without raising the deficit, the federal government may impose some form of individual wealth tax or excess profit tax on wealthy corporations.

Freeland will present the budget in the House of Commons on Tuesday afternoon, vowing a plan centred on “generational fairness.”

Seen somewhere: Why do they tax cigarettes? “To disincentivize smoking.” So why do they tax income?

Tristan Hopper;

The Supreme Court of Canada ruled in a recent sexual assault case that it was “problematic” for a lower court judge to refer to the alleged victim as a “woman,” implying that the more appropriate term should have been “person with a vagina.”

In a decision published Friday, Justice Sheilah Martin wrote that a trial judge’s use of the word “a woman” may “have been unfortunate and engendered confusion.”

Martin does not specify why the word “woman” is confusing, but the next passage in her decision refers to the complainant as a “person with a vagina.” Notably, not one person in the entire case is identified as transgender, and the complainant is referred to throughout as a “she.”

The case was R. v. Kruk, which involved a 2017 charge of sexual assault against then 34-year-old Maple Ridge, B.C., man Charles Kruk

Public Choice Theory and How This Ends

Concentrated minority interests will ALWAYS defeat dispersed collective majority interests in any system of government/institution that doesn’t terminate in an individual owner.

This is basic public choice theory. […]

The most degenerate will set the tone of sexual politics because they’re the slim minority that cares the most and has the most to gain, whereas normal people have 10k other concerns and can’t dedicated their lives to defending normality. Same with farm policy, it will always be set by the narrow concentrated interest of corporate food producers and recipients of subsidized government food stuff: This is what’s happened to America’s food supply, it’s what happened to Rome’s before the fall. Down the list of every policy.

Every individual item will be controlled not by the public good or even majority will, but by the narrowest interest that can make it their life’s work and either get rich, or lead a life of sloth by controlling it.

“before you know it you’re making TikTok videos agreeing with Osama Bin Laden.”

Freya India- Why I’m Worried About The Rise Of Liberal Young Women

This gender gap has been widening for a while. Over the past two decades, the political profiles of young men and women remained pretty stable, but in recent years women have shifted significantly to the left. In the US, 44% of young women identified as liberal in 2021 compared to 25% of young men — up from 30% of women and 27% of men a decade ago; the biggest gender gap in 24 years of polling. It’s a similar story in the UK.

This isn’t just girls becoming left-wing. What this is, increasingly, is girls and young women being drawn to this newer offshoot of liberalism—wokeness, social justice culture, whatever we want to call it—and lurching to the left around the time this ideology took hold. By which I mean an ideology obsessed with identity; convinced that everything is socially constructed; supportive of censorship, and wedded to the core belief of liberalism that we must all be liberated from cultural norms and traditions.

NY Post;

Harvard cleared its president Claudine Gay of plagiarism before it even investigated whether her academic work was copied, The Post reveals today.

In a threatening legal letter to The Post in late October, the college called allegations that she lifted other academics’ work “demonstrably false,” and said all her works were “cited and properly credited.”

Days later Gay herself asked for an investigation and Harvard tore up its own rules to ask outside experts to review her work, saying it had to avoid a conflict of interest.

And the experts then found she did need to make multiple corrections to her academic record.

The bare-knuckled law firm Harvard employed to try to keep the plagiarism allegations from ever coming to light told The Post it would sue for “immense” damages.

Harvard never revealed an investigation had been launched as the lawyers put pressure on The Post to kill its reporting.

But more than a month later, on December 12 Harvard said Gay had been investigated by its top governing body and was correcting two academic journals, to acknowledge where her work had really come from — meaning the claim it was “properly credited” was false.

As if being a smug anti-Semite wasn’t reason enough to fire her.

Harvard then took plagiarism seriously — and in one way still does, disciplining dozens of students every year for this gravest of academic sins. Even transgressions falling short of plagiarism could still constitute “misuse of sources,” for which a year’s probation and suspension from participation in extracurricular activities were the usual response. Plagiarists, meanwhile — those who had lifted someone else’s language without quotation marks or citation — were bounced from the college for a year, during which time they were required to work at a nonacademic job (no year-long backpacking trip) and refrain from visiting Cambridge. They would be readmitted after submitting a statement that examined their original misdeed and reflected on it.

Maybe there’s an explanation after all.

And still more.

Embattled Harvard president Claudine Gay has been hit with 40 fresh allegations of plagiarism, with claims that she lifted ‘entire paragraphs’ in her academic writing.

The new allegations were first published in a shocking report from the Washington Free Beacon and span seven publications authored by Gay, ranging from missing quotation marks around a few phrases or sentences to entire paragraphs lifted verbatim.

It comes as the House Committee on Education and the Workforce announced that it’s widening the scope of its probe into Gay’s work, according to a letter written by Rep. Virginia Foxx. The committee had already opened a probe into antisemitism at the Harvard campus following Gay’s testimony that was heavily criticized.

Gay initially submitted two corrections to papers from 2001 and 2017 after she was accused of plagiarism, adding ‘quotation marks and citations,’ a Harvard spokesman said.

However, after additional claims of plagiarism, the Ivy League then said on Wednesday that Gay would also update three spots in her Ph.D. dissertation to add attributions.

Even the NYT is coming for her.
