WELL, THE DOJ HAS ALREADY LABELED CONCERNED PARENTS DOMESTIC TERRORISTS: DOJ Attorney Wants To Join Loudoun School Board, Running An Anti-Parent, Openly Partisan, And Possibly Illegal Campaign.

Not long after the Department of Justice mobilized the FBI against parents by citing a letter that painted the father of a Loudoun County, Virginia rape victim as a terrorist, an attorney from one of the department’s most corrupt branches is running for a seat on America’s most politicized school board on a platform that labels advocates for “parents’ rights” as “extremists.”

While most federal employees shy away from any sort of political activity because of how it could erode credibility and violate the Hatch Act, Anne Donohue has run openly as a Democrat for the At-Large seat on Loudoun County’s school board.

Compare and contrast: White House indicates people making ‘violent antisemitic threats’ not classified as ‘domestic terrorists.’

When people tell you who their enemies are, believe them.

COLLUSION: Joel Kotkin: Moolah from Mullahs: Arab countries are bankrolling American colleges and universities.

For decades, China and Middle Eastern autocracies have been pouring billions of dollars into American and other foreign universities. Such funds support students from their countries but can also support academic programs that propagate these countries’ world views.

China’s so-called Confucius Institutes, for instance, which push the Chinese Communist Party’s agenda on college campuses and seek access to U.S. technological prowess, have garnered much international attention. Including these institutes and other efforts, China contributed $1.2 billion to American colleges between 2014 and 2020. It has spent roughly another $1 billion since 2020.

Middle Eastern countries’ donations draw much less attention. Between 2014 and 2020, Muslim-majority countries together donated $4.86 billion to American higher-educational institutions, representing 29 percent of all foreign donations.

Qatar and Saudi Arabia were responsible for much of this largesse. The two countries together invested $3.7 billion in American higher education and were cumulatively responsible for 2,303 grants, gifts, and contracts, of which 422 exceeded $1 million and 17 exceeded $50 million in value. Most of the largest gifts came from Qatar to Cornell and Carnegie Mellon.

Qatar’s role is particularly troubling, since the country is often an ally to both Iran and Hamas. The country also backs other terrorist groups, including the Muslim Brotherhood, and is home to the most important Middle Eastern media outfit, Al Jazeera. Along with Saudi Arabia, Qatar is among the largest donors to Palestinian organizations and causes.

It’s too early to make direct connection between a school’s anti-Israel agitation and its donations from Middle Eastern countries, but the biggest recipients, such as Cornell, NYU, Georgetown, and Harvard tend to have large pro-Hamas elements.

Just a coincidence, I’m sure.

FIGHT THE POWER: Meet the libertarian professor who raised a ruckus at USC.

“The progressive monolith hates being called out for the intolerant structure that it is.”

That according to University of Southern California emeritus Professor James Moore, who said that despite the fact that an offer to teach during retirement was rescinded by USC, he still plans to keep his longtime employer in his crosshairs.

The university initially asked him to teach two classes in retirement, but recalled the offer, he said. The industrial and systems engineering scholar, who taught at USC for 36 years, also said his emeritus designation was nearly refused over a history of disagreements with administration and his rejection of “illiberal” thinking.

Moore made headlines in recent years for, among other things, telling the school during the Brett Kavanaugh hearings that sometimes people lie, as well as hanging a Blue Lives Matter flag on his office door and refusing to take it down.

USC Executive Director of Media Relations, Emily Gersema, did not respond to a request for comment.

Lol.
