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.

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.”

Buh-Bye! Trump Admin Closing 110 IRS Offices, Nobody Sad Except DC Bureaucrats and Biden Sycophants

By Bob Hoge | 6:45 AM on February 27, 2025

It’s the agency that nobody loves—the Internal Revenue Service; you know, the one which causes your stomach to clinch when you get a letter from them. It’s never good news.

Joe Biden wanted to add 80,000 new agents to comb through your life—but President Trump has a different view. He’s proposed changing it to the “External Revenue Service,” and now his administration is planning to close 110 IRS offices around the country.

Good riddance:

The Trump administration plans to shutter more than 110 IRS offices that have taxpayer assistance centers as the White House’s efficiency zeal carves deeper into the tax agency.

The plan, outlined in a Tuesday letter from the U.S. General Services Administration that was obtained by The Washington Post, comes in the midst of the federal tax filing season that ends April 15, and as the administration is working to reduce agencies’ headcount and scale back the footprint of the federal government. Last week, the IRS started laying off approximately 7,000 probationary employees.

At least 113 taxpayer assistance centers will have their leases terminated or not renewed when they expire, according to a list included with GSA’s letter. It’s unclear whether the assistance centers — which provide free, in-person help for tax filers, on an appointment basis — will relocate or simply close.

Notice how the Washington Post stresses the fact that some of these offices have “taxpayer assistance centers,” implying that oh-so-many people will be hurt by this move. But why do we need taxpayer assistance centers? Why are our taxes so freaking complicated that people with graduate degrees have to fork over thousands of dollars to their CPAs because the tax code is so convoluted that only a full-time tax nerd can figure them out?
