Claudine Gay, a professor of government, will become Harvard’s second woman and the first African American president. In the coming year, incumbent Harvard president Lawrence Bacow would prefer to step aside in favor of a younger leader. Following the release, Gay will become the institution’s next president on July 1. With a history dating back more than 400 years, the university certainly has much to offer. Claudine is described as “a remarkable leader who is profoundly dedicated to sustaining and enhancing Harvard’s academic excellence,” “championing the value and values of higher education and research,” “expanding opportunity,” and “strengthening Harvard as…

The news was first reported by RedState’s very own Jennifer Van Laar. After three consecutive election losses, someone in the Republican National Committee should have the moral fiber to step down. Unfortunately, given the current state of politics, none of this matters. Since the gravy from this train is so delicious, the Republicans are likely to reelect the same folks who oversaw the disastrous 2022 midterm campaign. However, Van Laar audited the RNC’s accounts, which brought up terrible memories of when the committee was exposed for spending money on strippers under the previous chairman Michael Steele. To no one’s surprise,…
The Democrats in Congress are already formulating plans to prevent Trump from being re-elected. Impeaching Trump, using the 25th Amendment, or taking any other political step to remove him from office is not something anyone is interested in doing. It is a literal interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment. Thus they are taking a risk by assuming they are not covered by it. Congress can prevent insurrectionists from running for president under the Fourteenth Amendment. After taking an oath of office as a Senator or Representative, a Presidential or Vice Presidential elector, or an administrative or judicial officer of any state,…
No one should be above the law, and anybody who allows the VA to break it by denying veterans access to private treatment should face the consequences. On Friday, a veterans’ rights group asked a federal judge to require the Department of Veterans Affairs to detail its intentions for implementing a statute that expands veterans’ access to healthcare in the private sector. When VA wait times are excessively long or private treatment is in the veteran’s best interest, the MISSION Act guarantees that the veteran will have access to it. Many veterans select the former when offered the choice between…
Even though the unemployment rate in the United States is reaching a 50-year low, President Joe Biden, in conjunction with hundreds of worldwide firms, has devised a jobs program for recently arriving immigrants. This week, Secretary of State Antony Blinken signed a memorandum formalizing cooperation between his department and the left-leaning Tent Partnership for Refugees group, founded by Chobani CEO Hamdi Ulukaya and is supported by more than 300 companies. The United States Department of State’s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration is “pleased to announce a public-private collaboration with the Tent Partnership for Refugees” to “promote job opportunities and…
Masks are returning as cases of influenza, respiratory syncytial virus, and COVID-19 increase across the country. Due to the spread of respiratory diseases, Los Angeles County has issued a mandatory mask policy for all residents aged two and above in public buildings. Masks, such as surgical masks or properly fitting KN95 or N95 masks, will be required for students in the Philadelphia school system for ten days following the winter break. Even though they aren’t required just yet, NYC schools have sent home a note to parents urging them to have their children wear face masks that fit correctly. Dr.…
One Texas lawmaker is proposing banning D.E.I. (diversity, equality, and inclusion) offices on the grounds that they are propagandists for communist political ideology. House Bill 1006 mandates that all schools in the Lone Star State “maintain political, social, and cultural neutrality” and “encourage a diversity of opinions.” Carl Tepper, a Republican from California, was the first to introduce this legislation in the House. Offices that “encourage, promote, sponsor, or support any office of diversity, equity, or inclusion” are banned at schools that receive federal funding. The institution must “create disciplinary punishments for students, student organizations, or instructors that disproportionately interfere…
Since the brutal attack on Manchester’s pro-democracy demonstrators, six people, including one of China’s senior ambassadors, have returned to Communist China. Consulate General Zheng Xiyuan, who was seen beating a Hong Kong pro-democracy activist named Bob Chan in October, has been recalled by Beijing. This may have been done to avoid the expulsion of Chinese diplomats. According to the BBC, CCP has placed five additional consulate employees. Consulate General at first denied using violence, despite being shown on camera grabbing Mr. Chan by the hair and tugging. As Zheng said, “The person degraded my nation, my leader – I think…
A temporary funding agreement must be adopted by the Senate by Friday, just as it was by the House late on Wednesday night, or else a shutdown of the government would occur. By next Friday, Congress has to reach a budget agreement to ensure that the government has enough money to run until the end of the fiscal year 2023. That’s why there won’t be any shifts during the holidays. The House of Representatives voted down the financial accord primarily due to opposition. There were just nine Republican senators who voted for the bill, as reported by Mychael Schnell of…
Concerns over the Chinese-owned social media platform’s impact on national security led to the Senate unanimously passing a bill to prohibit its use on government equipment. Late Wednesday, Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) passed the No TikTok on Government Devices Act. TikTok is a covert propaganda platform for the Chinese Communist Party. Hawley said Thursday that the company poses a serious threat to national security and should be banned from all government-issued equipment until it is compelled to cut all relations with China. In light of security concerns, many American states have banned TikTok from all state-owned computers and mobile devices.…
The United States has seen a record number of migrants enter the country since early 2021. The three nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) helping migrants at the southern border of the United States have been asked by a group of House Republicans led by Rep. Lance Gooden, R-Texas, to keep records and communications related to their operations as part of an investigation into the flow of illegal immigrants into the interior of the United States. They were concerned about “the expanding role [NGOs play in driving the terrible rise of illegal aliens crossing the southern border,” Republican members, including Gooden, wrote to…
ery to us. It has only one airport. It’s hard to get out of town because there aren’t many available planes. We also have a few bus terminals, but it’s now quite challenging to book a trip for the same day. “The reason was laid forth by D’Agostino. D’Agostino claims that public services previously reserved for the local homeless population are being diverted to help the newly arrived migrants. He also mentioned that the city is considering busing migrants to larger cities like Dallas, where they may get flights or catch buses to their eventual destination. D’Agostino disclosed that he…
On Wednesday evening, the Senate of the United States voted to adopt a bill that would prevent the Chinese social media app TikTok from being used on government computers in the United States. The No TikTok on Government Devices Act, introduced by Republican Missouri Senator Josh Hawley, was passed with unanimous assent. ByteDance Limited and its affiliates would be outlawed under the proposed laws, as would any services or updates to the Chinese social media app they produce or deliver. As long as the responsible agency “develops and documents risk mitigation procedures for such usage,” the statute makes an exception…
Election paperwork submitted to the Federal Election Commission on Tuesday revealed that a state legislator from Virginia, who served time in prison for contributing to the delinquency of a child and later married his 17-year-old victim, is running in a special election to replace a congressman who died late last year. After the Loudoun County rape and subsequent efforts to provide explicit sex education to elementary school students, Democrats in Virginia resisted the image that they were too lenient on the sexualization of minors. In light of this, the announcement that state Senator Joe Morrissey will run to replace retiring…
For prosecuting “a suspected CCP spy,” Senator Blackburn said it’s “a pity” that Democrats want to reject Biden’s nomination. Three Senate aides told Fox News Digital that a judge nominated by President Biden is stuck in the Senate Judiciary Committee because the judge prosecutes an alleged Chinese spy. This prosecution has caused concern among at least one Senate Democrat, who fears that the judge’s actions reflect “anti-Asian” racism. According to Biden’s aides, Hawaii Democrat Sen. Mazie Hirono is holding up the confirmation of Biden’s candidate for U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee, attorney Casey Arrowood, who worked as…
