If only this thread were about that.

“ I was trying to not hurt your feelings, but yes, per the report, more Muslims felt discriminated against than Jews. Shrug.. you wanted us to read the report, and that's what it stated. So, where's Trump regarding the anti-Muslim sentiments. Oh that's right.. he's not in the pockets of rich Muslims, unlike the wealthy Jews, and he's always hated Muslims, anyways.”


The rich Muslims must be sending their $$$ to the terrorists and Islamists. If they would contribute more money to our country and its institutions, perhaps they would have more clout.

yea, like price increases. Hooray!

And the bond market falling because no one has faith in the US economy being run by a stable genius
And the ports near LA and Seattle becoming a virtual ghost town
And empty shelves in grocery stores already
And the "dear leader" already preparing people to have a lean Christmas
And isolating us from our longtime trade partners who are making deals with China
And the Saudis buying $2billion worth of Trump family cryptocurrency - can you say corrupt AF?

Hooray all around! I've always wanted to know what it would be like to live in the Soviet Union of the 80s! /s

He's not in the pocket of rich people in the Middle East? Wut?

They are literally putting billions of dollars in the Trump family's pockets buying up their cryptocurrency. And let's not forget the billions of dollars the Saudis gave Jared just before he walked away from the WH.

Nah terrorist funding doesn't come from wealthy Muslims. Glad you admit wealthy jews buy our politicians. Admitting the issue is the first step in addressing it.

That is incorrect. Read the precedent below. Hopefully the lawyers that Harvard is producing know their case law, unlike DCUM.

Bob Jones University (BJU) had its tax-exempt status revoked by the IRS in the 1970s due to its racially discriminatory admissions policies. This action was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in Bob Jones University v. United States (1983), which established that tax-exempt status can be denied to organizations that violate public policy, including racial discrimination. However, the university later regained its tax-exempt status after dropping the ban on interracial dating in 2000.

Please identify the Harvard policy that, under Bob Jones, justifies revoking Harvard's tax-exempt status.

And presumably the Bob Jones actually followed IRS policy and protocol…not a retaliatory “edict” by POTUS.

Fair enough. Replace Hillsdale College with Liberty University, or the Federalist Society, or whatever. The point still stands, despite your pedantics. Obviously.

Apples and Oranges my dim little tool. Hillsdale is a LAC and doesn't need research contracts. Just like the NESCAC except for Tufts can just happily cruise along. Federal money is about 2-3% of the budget at top SLACs, they don't need it and while they would miss it it has no bearing on their operations.

Lol. Your arguments careen from side to side like your great leader Kamala. First you claim that the IRS will cripple colleges liberals favor while leaving Hillsdale College untouched. But when it is pointed out that Hillsdale forsakes federal funds you go into a LAC v Research insti rabbit hole. Now that USAID funding has stopped, the Harvard defense team is clearly scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Can Harvard's potential loss of tax exempt status be retroactive ?

My understanding is that Harvard University has made some concessions such as quietly closing down its DEI office.

Renamed to Campus and Community Life, but it is a sign that Harvard is willing to grant concessions:

I don't know. The majority of them are Harvard grads with legacy children. They would not want to see their alma mater decline.
