Harvard’s endowment is $53.2 billion and they are getting $9 billion of our taxpayer money ??? All the while Harvard and other ivy league universities are advocating for Jewish genocide. Something is terribly wrong with this picture !!! Thanks to Luceil Friedman for sharing this article with us. Nancy

Harvard’s ‘resistance’ to Trump isn’t about science or academic freedom
The school would rather lose $9 billion in federal funding than offend the left and give up woke indoctrination policies that enable and encourage antisemitism.
(April 15, 2025 / JNS)
It’s nice to know that the school that is widely considered to be the most prestigious institution of higher education in the United States is willing to stand up for its principles. Unfortunately, the main principle for which Harvard University is standing up—and earning deafening applause from liberal elites in politics and the media—is the right to go on enabling and encouraging the hatred of Jews.
Of course, that’s not the way the political left is spinning the announcement that Harvard would defy the demands of the Trump administration to cease its tacit support of the surge of antisemitism since the Hamas-led terrorist attacks in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.
For Trump’s “progressive” opponents who have acquired near-total control of higher education in the United States, the demands are unacceptable. They would rather lose federal funding, which is crucial to their survival, than end discrimination in admissions and hiring rooted in the woke catechism of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) that creates viewpoint uniformity that excludes conservatives and supporters of Israel. They also refuse to adopt disciplinary policies against those who advocate for Jewish genocide and harass Jewish students, or prevent the pro-Hamas mobs on their campuses from wearing masks while they commit their acts of intimidation and violence.
For the far left, their refusal to treat antisemites the way they would bigots who threatened African-Americans or Hispanics is a heroic act of “resistance.”

Massachusetts Becomes Hotbed of “Sanctuary City” Insanity
By Andrew Shirley April 1, 2025
While the backlash over so-called “sanctuary city” policies has largely centered on New York and California, Massachusetts is quickly establishing itself as a leader in sanctuary city insanity.
According to a recent report from Fox News’ Bill Melugin, in just the past few months at least five illegal aliens charged with serious crimes – including child rape – are “repeatedly being released from jail with ridiculously low bail” in Massachusetts.
That list includes a Guatemalan charged with three counts of aggravated child rape released on $7,500 bail; another Guatemalan charged with aggravated child rape of a victim nine years old or younger also released on $7,500 bail; a Honduran charged with assault, rape, and masked armed robbery released on his own recognizance with $0 bail; two illegal alien inmates in Worcester County charged with child rape who received $500 bail; and another Honduran charged with fentanyl trafficking and released on $4,000 bail.

On June 6, 2024, NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry “Butch” Wilmore arrived at the International Space Station on a Boeing Starliner space craft for an eight-day mission. This was Starliner’s first crewed mission to the ISS. Safety concerns with the Starliner arose during its flight to ISS as the capsule experienced helium leaks and thruster malfunctions.
Boeing and NASA engineers spent several weeks determining if the issue could be fixed, but Starliner was ultimately not deemed safe enough to carry the astronauts. The capsule returned to earth, unmanned, in September 2024.
SpaceX, led by Elon Musk, was selected to bring the astronauts back again, and the rescue mission is upon us this week.
The scandal has put a spotlight on NASA, so Open the Books decided to take a closer look at its recent activities and spending.
Embedding DEI into every agency, even NASA, was a mission of the Biden Administration, and one which the new Trump Administration has vowed to reverse. We’re investigating the different ways DEI manifested itself at NASA and taking a deep dive into their spending through grants and contracts – especially with Boeing and SpaceX.
With an annual budget of $25 billion, NASA is one of the smaller federal agencies. But its mission is high risk and high visibility, so it’s crucial to understand its decision making and investments.

Video: Official Admits Dept. Of Education Is Spending Tax Dollars On Illegals And Dodging DOGE Oversight
by Logan Washburn February 20, 2025
“‘What are you going to do if they put you on leave?’ I’m like, ‘Go to the beach on the taxpayer’s dime.’”
Department of Education staff remove citizenship requirements from legislation, offer programs to illegal immigrants, and are using a messaging app to avoid oversight from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), according to an undercover video published Feb. 20 by Project Veritas.
“If Congress actually knew that we don’t ask that [citizenship status], there would be a lot of, probably, a lot of uproar,” said DOE Branch Chief Travis Combs. “You know how they have like sanctuary cities? We would be a sanctuary program where we’re spending federal dollars on illegal immigrants.”

Sickening, isn’t it ! Nancy
Congressman Tim Burchett Believes DOGE Money Trail Will Reveal “Foreign Aid Payments” Returning to Congress
When Elon Musk asked how Norm Eisen could be financed, I replied, “If the United States govt gave money to Qatar, knowing Qatar was going to send that money to organizations within the USA intended to carry out an objective of a small group in U.S. govt., what would that be called?”
Qatar is a major source of funding for the Brookings Institute. Brookings funds various Lawfare operations, including Norm Eisen. The extended process is quite simple. If elements within the U.S. Govt., wanted to indirectly fund Brookings, could they do it by sending funds to Qatar?
The question is not supposition, because this was the exact process Hillary Clinton and Leon Panetta used for the State Dept to send weapons to the Libyan “rebels,” aka Operation Zero Footprint.
Operation Zero Footprint was the State Dept/CIA sending funds to Qatar, and the Qatari govt then purchasing missiles from the CIA to give to al-Qaeda affiliates in Libya. We can consider the historic Iran-Contra scandal under a similar framework. However, the nuanced difference is about sending money toward a foreign govt (via USAID), while knowing the money would return to fund a domestic agenda inside the USA.
Example: USAID sends money to the U.K, and then British political allies send political operatives into the USA to support Kamala Harris. We know the latter part of that sentence happened. So, did the Biden administration (Samantha Power) fund the Labour Party operation?
Are the various political NGOs and activist groups in the USA actually funded, indirectly, by U.S. taxpayers? Many signs point to, yes.
Against this high likelihood, it becomes just a natural extension of the process if U.S. politicians are beneficiaries of the circular laundry operation. That is what Representative Tim Burchett believes will surface if the DOGE team follow the money trail. WATCH:

Joe Rogan’s ‘take’ on the current Deep State panic is pretty darn interesting…
February 14, 2025
We keep hearing that the Deep State is in full-blown panic mode—and while some critics might dismiss it as wishful thinking, the facts say tell us otherwise, don’t they?
The unelected bureaucrats who’ve been running this country into the ground fought like hell to keep President Trump out of office—throwing everything at him, including the kitchen sink. And why did they do that? Just because they don’t like him? Hardly. They did it because they knew if he made it back to the White House, their jig was up.
They knew this wasn’t 2016 anymore. A Trump win in 2024 would spell big trouble for their entire operation.
And they were right.

The uniparty, media, and left-wing radicals don’t want to admit it, but their precious Deep State is crumbling. And one of their biggest problems is that President Trump’s administration is more America First than ever.
Last time around, they made sure to stack his cabinet with a plethora of traitors and backstabbers. But Trump—who was a newcomer to the dirty world of politics back then—learned from his mistakes. This time around, he rolled into The Swamp with a posse that has his back.
And as we recently reported, Trump is using a whole new strategy. He’s moving at breakneck speed—firing off rapid-fire policies, executive orders, and decisions faster than the media, Dems, and Deep State can respond. They’re frazzled, flailing, and falling way behind.
And that’s exactly how it should be.

Even some experts, like Mark Halperin, have been left speechless

Elon Musk’s DOGE Team Uncovers $21 Million Taxpayer-Funded Grant Allocated to “Voter Turnout in India” — India’s Ruling Party Responds
The United States Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), spearheaded by entrepreneur and billionaire Elon Musk, has axed a controversial $21 million taxpayer-funded grant that was designed to boost “voter turnout in India.”
This allocation was merely a fragment of a staggering $486 million budget under the “Consortium for Elections and Political Process Strengthening” initiative approved during the Biden regime.
But that wasn’t all. DOGE’s latest findings revealed that another $29 million had been designated for “strengthening the political landscape in Bangladesh”, a country that recently witnessed significant political upheaval amid allegations of U.S. ‘deep state’ involvement in orchestrating the removal of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, according to NDTV.
The Musk-led department confirmed that several other overseas projects funded by U.S. taxpayers have also been axed.
Below is the full list:
- $486 million to the “Consortium for Elections and Political Process Strengthening”, including:
- $22 million for an “inclusive and participatory political process” in Moldova
- $21 million for voter turnout efforts in India
- $47 million for “improving learning outcomes in Asia”
- $40 million for a “gender equality and women empowerment hub”
- $32 million to the Prague Civil Society Centre
- $29 million for “strengthening the political landscape in Bangladesh“
- $20 million for “fiscal federalism” in Nepal
- $19 million for “biodiversity conservation” in Nepal
- $14 million for “social cohesion” in Mali
- $14 million for “improving public procurement” in Serbia
- $10 million for “Mozambique voluntary medical male circumcision”
- $9.7 million for UC Berkeley to develop “a cohort of Cambodian youth with enterprise-driven skills”
- $2.5 million for “inclusive democracies in Southern Africa“
- $2.3 million for “strengthening independent voices in Cambodia“
- $2 million to develop “sustainable recycling models” to “increase socio-economic cohesion among marginalized communities of Kosovo Roma, Ashkali, and Egypt“
- $1.5 million for “voter confidence” in Liberia
