Flotsam and Jetsam - Gay Still Gone

PJM's Bob Spencer observes Biden Drops First Campaign Ad, and It’s As Dishonest and Embarrassing As You’d Expect. Promises to save Democracy by forbidding his chief opponent from running, and attempting to put him in jail. Herr Professor Jacobson at LI, Biden Will Detail How Trump is Supposedly a ‘Threat to Our Democracy’ at Valley Forge on Jan. 6 "“Biden is trying to jail his main political opponent, but Trump and Republicans are a threat to democracy.” Even the violently Never-Trump George Will opines A Constitution-flouting ‘authoritarian’ is already in the White House (WaPoo).  Also, Stephen Kruiser, Biden to Celebrate Dem J6 High Holy Day With White Supremacy Fairy Tale. Hat Hair's KT, One Event With Very Different Responses From Deplorable Trump and Dark Brandon. At Da Fed the Marvelous Margot Cleveland wonders Joe Biden Apparently Helped Hunter Defy A Subpoena, So Why Is Trump The One Charged With Obstructing Justice? and James Varney asks Why Isn’t Vaxx Tyrant Joe Biden Worried About Polio, Leprosy, And Measles Seeping Through The Border? Those are rhetorical questions, of course. From NewsBusters an LOL! Tapper Claims Biden's Done So Much on the 'Conservative Side of Things' on the Border.

Sarah Hoyt at Insty, THIS MAY BE A HIGHER PERCENTAGE THAN BELIEVE ANYTHING THEY READ IN THE WAPO*A quarter of Americans believe FBI instigated Jan. 6, Post-UMD poll finds. Paul Bedard at WaEx, ‘She’s dead, she’s dead’: Jan. 6 video has new angle on Ashli Babbitt shooting. At RedState, 'shipwreckedcrew' sees A Case of Manifest Injustice in United States v. Ronald 'Colt' McAbee, J6 Defendant. Eric Lendrum at Am Great, FBI ‘Aware’ of Hoax Bomb Threats at Various State Capitols

At NYPo, Jonathan Turley is concerned that It’s not just Trump: Democrats are moving to bar Republicans from ballots nationwide

Am Think's Silvio Canto wonders Can Trump paint blue states red? Hat Hair's KT thinks Wowzer! Nikki Haley Stepped in It Again and Iowa Voters Won't Like It  "This time it was a very cocky Nikki Haley telling a group of New Hampshire voters that she trusts them. She told them that Iowa caucuses first, then New Hampshire’s primary “corrects” Iowa voters, then South Carolina “brings it home.”" USA Today reports Ramaswamy defends Steve King endorsement, says Trump got 'duped' by 'managerial class'. Althouse finds "One of the weird things about Christie’s mea culpa is that he apparently thinks someone who has 'the wrong policies' is as equally dangerous as someone who 'will sell the soul of this country'..." "... who he has called a 'dictator,' and who he said last week would 'burn America to the ground.'... The other weird thing is that you might come away from the clip thinking that the former governor realized the error of his ways shortly after 2016, or at least just after Trump became president—when, in fact, he was still supporting the guy in 2020 and did debate prep for the campaign that, as of a year later, he was saying he didn’t regret." Just go away, Chris. 

Can the Democrats offend enough people to make even their aggressive election tampering impossible? asks Robert Zimmerman at Behind the Black, hopefully. 

Francis Turner provides a fine Gay Fisking "Claudine tells the truth but doesn't realize it." Herr Professor Jacobson again, Claudine Gay “was the DEI president and that is the deeper problem that I don’t think” Harvard is “ready yet to confront”. “She was a symptom of a deeper problem at Harvard and many other elite schools…, which is that they have embraced a racialization of education under the name of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. It is poisonous throughout the system. It takes away from merit, it takes away from advancement of all people equally without regard to race. And she was a big advocate of that.” From the Free Bacon, 'This Isn't About Plagiarism or Anti-Semitism': Jamaal Bowman Cries Racism Over Claudine Gay Resignation. "'The only winners are fascists who bullied a brilliant and historic black woman,' New York congressman says." A pair of articles at NYPo, Harvard Corporation under fire for keeping secrets to protect Claudine Gay: ‘Must not be published’ and Outgoing Harvard president Claudine Gay accused of ‘lying’ about ‘promptly requesting corrections’ to plagiarized works. Campus Reform sees Coordinated social media campaign attempts to smear Gay's Jewish replacement as agent of 'Zionist control'. The Great Victor Davis Hanson at Am Great says Harvard is Out the Frying Pan Into the Fire. John Sexton at Hat Hair, In the Wake of Claudine Gay's Resignation, the Left Is Once Again Refusing to Admit the Far Left Is a Problem. And a roundup at Ace's Claudine Gay: I Did Nothing Wrong. Racist People Hunted Me Because They Couldn't Stand to See a DEI Success Story Like Mine.

And as one would expect, the left went looking for cases of plagiarism on the right. Hat Hair's Beege Welborn finds Tit for Tat: Business Insider's 'Plagiarism' Scoop on Bill Ackman's Wife, "An analysis by Business Insider found a similar pattern of plagiarism by Ackman’s wife Neri Oxman, who became a tenured professor at MIT in 2017. Oxman plagiarized multiple paragraphs of her 2010 doctoral dissertation, Business Insider found, including at least one passage directly lifted from other writers without citation." And at NYPo, Texas Republican Mayra Flores accused of passing off stolen food pics as her own cooking. "The photo of what Flores referred to as “gorditas de masa” was shared with the caption “the Ranch life with Family is the best,” though users on X were also quick to note the food in the picture was not gorditas de masa."  Oh, my God! 

At Althouse, "Old-school liberals can simply go on championing free-speech values. But the 'woke' or 'identitarian' left cannot go on as before." "Having long agitated for more sweeping speech restrictions and taboos, they now confront a dilemma: They do not want 'woke' hate speech or sensitivity standards applied to Palestinian-aligned activists, and they are unwilling to police speech that unnerves many Jews in the way that they policed speech they considered upsetting to other identity groups; yet they cannot subject Jews to such a blatant double standard without alienating many Americans and losing moral standing and attendant influence...."

Mia Cathel at TownHall, What We Know About the Iowa School ShooterCollin Rugg@CollinRugg, "NEW: Officials have identified 17-year-old Dylan Butler as the student who carried out the shooting at Perry High School in Iowa. Butler was reportedly an LGBTQ student who identified with the pronouns 'he/they' and 'gender fluid.' Butler appeared to interact with transgender accounts on Reddit & other LGBTQ accounts. Butler ended up killing himself after killing one student and injuring 5 others including the principal."
