Donald Trump’s requirement that Harvard University comply to his DEI guidelines or lose federal funding came out of Hitler’s playbook. He was demanding that he would dictate what Harvard would teach; how professors should think; and what students should learn. Harvard refused to capitulate to Trump’s fascist demands. Trump lost his war to control the minds of the American people.

Oh, yay, an elite, ivy League university with a billion dollar endowment passes on government money. It would be interesting to see what they would have done if they didn’t sit on a multi-billion dollar war chest. They’d probably cave just like the other universities.
What concerns me is Elon Musk’s recent statement that his team managed to save the US a paltry 150 billion in tracking down waste, fraud, and abuse. He went from claiming he could save 2 trillion dollars to only $150 billion dollars. Saving money isn’t the point, the point was being able to get into the bowels of the Treasury, social security, and the GSA and get to source code to install Trojan horses or back doors so no matter what happens to the US, Musk now has the ability to siphon money and gain a competitive advantage on other contractors because he will be able to see their bids. This will be a giant gift to him, his company, and his progeny. There will now be a parallel and shadow economy he lords over and Trump will get his Royal Fifth too. This was the point, everything else was a distraction.
Our economy is crashing and honestly, it’s not all his fault. He just exposed it for what it is, a debt based system. Our elites have been preparing for this day and Trump is their fall guy and stooge. They knew the members of the BRICS block would stop buying our bonds and without industrial capacity exporting products to provide the tax revenue bonds replaced, it would all come crashing down.
I’m glad too, I hope every single millionaire gets reduced to pennies like the majority of Americans have. I could care less about social issues. No one cares about illegal immigration when the economy works.
It’s over, folks. Welcome to the poorhouse. Jobs aren’t coming back, taxes will go up as will inflation, and everything will shut down. We’re in another Great Depression.
A good read for over-talkers & over-commenters is “The Power of STFU” by Dan Lyons (NY Times Bestselling Author); “our noisy world has trained us to think that those who get the last word win, when in fact it’s those who know how to stay silent who really hold the power. Talk less, get more”. It provides a resounding message applicable for millions of us, even those who are constantly spewing lengthy head-strong comments in SLO New Times.
