Good day all. I\u2019ve been writing off and on about Harvard University<\/a> for a few years now. I also have stated that I once applied for an I.T. job at the university. (I didn\u2019t get it of course. To white, to old and to American) However, Harvard has been getting raked over the coals by everyone since the October 7th<\/sup> attack on Israel by Hamas, Israel\u2019s response and Harvard\u2019s basically supporting terrorists.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Things have ramped up significantly since President Trump came back into office. His administration has been demanding that Harvard basically clean up their act with regards to supporting the Nazi students attacking Israel and other Jewish students along with their history of racism in their enrollment policies.<\/p>\n

Lately, the Trump Administration has escalated things, first by shutting off all the grants to Harvard and canceling their ability to bring in foreign students. This has led to people wondering if Harvard has any way to win. Here is a column from the New York <\/b>Sl<\/b>imes. (This is an archived version<\/a>. <\/b>The original is paywalled<\/a>)<\/b>:<\/p>\n

The Trump administration\u2019s attempt to block international students<\/a> from attending Harvard University was a sharp escalation in the showdown between the federal government and one of the nation\u2019s oldest and most powerful institutions. <\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It also showed how the younger side \u2014 the government \u2014 is the one with the upper hand. <\/b><\/p>\n

Harvard has won praise for fighting back, and many legal experts believe the law is squarely on its side. But the administration holds the levers of power, and is methodically and creatively using them in a take-no-prisoners assault on the school. <\/b><\/p>\n

I question these \u201cLegal experts\u201d on their belief that Harvard has the law on their side. Please show me where in the Constitution or the US Legal code where it says that the American Taxpayers are required to send money to Harvard. Also, please show me where Harvard has any say in the immigration and visa process. No rush. Whenever you\u2019re ready.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To cut off the university\u2019s pipeline of international students \u2014 who make up about 27 percent of Harvard\u2019s enrollment \u2014 the government has turned to an obscure <\/b>tactic<\/b><\/a> it usually uses to shut down shoddy diploma mills. <\/b><\/p>\n

Considering how many degrees Harvard hands out that are one step above Basket Weaving Studies, I\u2019m not all that certain they aren\u2019t, in many cases, nothing more then a diploma mill.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was dumbfounded,\u201d Ted Mitchell, the president of the American Council on Education, told me. \u201cWhat\u2019s becoming increasingly clear is that this administration will use any tool that it can.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A federal judge has already blocked the move for now<\/a>, but my colleague Michael Schmidt, an investigative reporter who has been covering every twist in this story, tells me the damage may already be done. Today, he explained just how dire Harvard\u2019s predicament has become<\/a> \u2014 and why the federal government\u2019s power over the nearly 400-year-old institution is even greater than he had appreciated.<\/b><\/p>\n

That judge is yet another Obama judge and is usurping authority she doesn\u2019t have. When it comes to who the United States allows into the country, that is the Executive and Legislative branches, with most of it in the hands of the Executive. The judicial branch has very little say in the matter. We have been seeing these corrupt Obama and Biden judges actively aiding criminals, terrorists and active threats to this country. That, of course, is something for another day.<\/p>\n

The New York Slimes story interviews Michael Schmidt on what Harvard is facing. (Interesting, but not surprising, This is the NY Slimes after all and doing actual work is not something their propagandists do all that often) Right off the bat, the \u201cJournalist, Jess Bidgood, shows how unbiased she is with her first question.<\/p>\n

JB: You have long covered the way Trump has used the power of the government to target his perceived enemies. How is this time different?<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And we\u2019re off to a good start. In the minds of the Slimes, anything President Trump does is to get his enemies.<\/p>\n

MS: There\u2019s been an audacity and creativity to the way that Trump has tried to use his power in the second term, and this is the latest example. Coming into this, we concentrated on his threats to lock up his enemies, like Liz Cheney or James Comey. The use of the government\u2019s power for purely political ends has manifested itself in ways that I think go beyond what we had imagined, and even beyond what Project 2025<\/a> contemplated.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Do I need to go into the literal criminal activities that have been uncovered regarding James Comey and Liz Cheney? Cheney\u2019s blind hatred for President Trump, along with the rest of that so called \u201cCommittee\u201d so contaminated the findings as to render them useless. Add to that the actual obstruction, destruction of evidence and documents, and blocking testimony from anyone who wasn\u2019t going to toe the line to Get Trump! Comey has his own issues including the apparent call to assassinate President Trump recently.<\/p>\n

Today, a judge temporarily blocked this Trump effort to bar international students from Harvard. Is that good news for Harvard? Is this over?<\/b><\/p>\n

Not even close for the reasons I\u2019ve already listed above.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not over at all. <\/b><\/p>\n

Nope, not even close. Harvard’s complete humiliation hasn’t happened yet.<\/p>\n

For now, it allows foreign students to continue to attend Harvard. But what it doesn\u2019t remove is the question of what\u2019s going to happen. <\/b><\/p>\n

The Executive Order doesn\u2019t expel foreign students attending Harvard, at least not right away. It does, or should, force them to look at other colleges and universities and transfer to them. Those who won\u2019t or can\u2019t transfer will be required to leave the United States or be in violation of their visas. (In other words, illegal aliens)<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re an international student at Harvard, are you going to be like, \u201cOK, cool, I\u2019ll just go to school in the fall, and I\u2019ll be checking the federal docket to see if the restraining order is still in place\u201d? <\/b><\/p>\n
