She failed to credit me for sections of my book, ‘Black Faces, Black Interests.’
"Harvard’s governing fellows last week decided to stand behind President Claudine Gay despite her disastrous congressional testimony and multiple allegations of plagiarism.
In a statement, they dismissed the latter as “a few instances of inadequate citation” that constituted “no violation of Harvard’s standards for research misconduct.”
I write as one of the scholars whose work Ms. Gay plagiarized...
The damage to me extends beyond the two instances of plagiarism identified by researchers Christopher Rufo and Christopher Brunet.

Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.) and 40 Republicans called on Defense Secretary Austin in a letter last week to suspend all removal activities related to the Reconciliation Monument until Congress finalized the appropriations process for fiscal year 2024.
Clyde stressed that the memorial is exempt from the removal requirement because it "does not honor nor commemorate the Confederacy and that it commemorates reconciliation and nation unity." Additionally, "the Naming Commission's authority explicitly prohibits the desecration of grave sites."
The abject narcissism of the insular Left is startling.
"They apparently believe the American public is amnesiac enough to forget what leftists once did, now that they’re doing the utter opposite.
And they assume we are to discount their hypocrisy and self-absorption simply because they self-identify as erudite and moral and assume their opponents are irredeemable and deplorable.
Impeachment
The Left is saturating the airwaves with outrage over the current House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry...
"...hundreds of hours of GoPro and cell phone footage filmed by the perpetrators,
forensic reports,
exposed the gruesome aftermath of dead bodies,
and burned out towns,
brought in international media and organizations to document, released cell phone conversations between terrorists,
released an entire film documenting the Nova massacre in real time from party to massacre to victims hiding for their lives...
But yeah all of that was fake. Made it up. All AI or whatever. This whole war doesn't exist. HamISIS doesn't exist. You don't exist. You're all in a simulation. Lavinia Colzani @lavinia_colzani
As if Hamas itself wouldn't have proved all of these things with their own propaganda material, as well. Any half-decent journalist/military analyst must have noticed, but competence is scarce, and many lie wilfully here (for one reason or another).
The Hamtramck City Council last week passed a resolution to rename a mile-stretch of Holbrok Street "Palestine Avenue."
"The all-Muslim council voted 4-3 in support of Palestinians in the Gaza, reports Violet Ikonomova of the Detroit Free Press.
Last month, the council passed a resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, where, according to the (criminal) Gaza healthy ministry, more than 18,000 people have been killed in a war that began after Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7 and killed about 1,200 people and kidnapped more than 200 people, mostly Israelis, but some Americans...
At least 20 people were shot, one of them fatally, during the weekend in Mayor Brandon Johnson’s (D) Chicago.
CBS News reported the weekend’s shooting fatality occurred Sunday at 10:42 a.m. A ShotSpotter alert signaled officers, who went to “the 3800 block of West Gladys Avenue,” where they found a 28-year-old man with multiple gunshot wounds.
Planners’ forecast for Ford plant was comically wrong; will anybody be held to account?
Michigan seems to be ending 2023 the way it began, with surprise news about Ford Motor Company’s $1.7 billion, taxpayer-subsidized deal to build an electric vehicle battery plant in Marshall.
In February, the head of a local development authority predicted the plant would directly employ 2,500 people.
In late November, Ford announced a scaled-down version that would employ just 1,700.
That’s a 32% reduction – just in the number of promised jobs, not even jobs that may ultimately exist. The Ford case is more evidence that Lansing politicians and state officials should not be in the corporate handout business...

President Joe Biden’s approval rating has hit a new low during his presidency, a Monmouth University poll found Monday, highlighting fears among Democrats who are unhappy the president, 81, is the party’s presumptive nominee.

"I see in the papers that Kanye West went off his meds. TMZ reported, “Kanye West is apparently in the grips of a serious mental health episode...Hates Trump. Hates Jews. Blames others for his problems... What liberals appear to support changes constantly.
Liberals who once embraced feminism now dismiss it as a movement by suburban white women. Men in dresses replaced real women who are now called TERFs, an acronym for women without testosterone.
I recall how women in the 1960s objected to being called broads and dames. Abracadabra, feminism came along. Liberals now call them bitches and ho’s. Problem solved.
Liberals recently downgraded mothers to birthing people. A woman now is just a bonus hole in liberal land, which further downgrades women, as well as normal sex.
These changes came so rapidly that people cannot keep up, but people nonetheless must instantly pledge allegiance to whatever the core beliefs of liberalism are this week...
The House formally voted to formalize an impeachment inquiry into Biden on Wednesday in a vote that was 221 to 212. In other words, this was a unanimous vote, as Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO), who previously hinted that he would oppose the effort, voted alongside his GOP colleagues, as Breitbart News detailed.
“I think you hit on something really important: that every single Republican voted to do this,” Jordan said. “I think that is huge because the conventional wisdom was, ‘Oh, they don’t have to vote, and if they do, they’re going to be some Republicans [who] voted,’ but every single Republican voted for it.”
