Bright is the Ring of Words by Robert Louis Stevenson

Bright is the ring of words When the right man rings them, Fair the fall of songs When the singer sings them. Still they are carolled and said – On wings they are carried – After the singer is dead And the maker is buried. Low as the singer lies In the field of heather, Songs of his fashion bring The swains together. And when the west is red With the sunset embers, The lover lingers and sings And the maid remembers.

On your post about ex-Harvard president Gay-

This person cheated her way to the top. She took the place of someone who would actually be qualified. I’m certain Harvard has a no plagiarism policy, so she’s enforcing rules on people that she broke and benefited from.

Any other presidents who were/are found to commit the same violation should receive the same punishment.

When comments are made such as ‘this is meant to humble black women’ or that merit is an arbitrary standard, lowers the bar for the community as a whole. There are PLENTY of black women who are intelligent, strong leaders, highly qualified, etc, and she took that position from someone who worked for it and deserved it. To state racism as the reason for her stepping down implies that because she is a black woman, we have to overlook some merit items and academic violations. How is that not racist in itself? There are black women who can do the job competently without having cheated to get there and she took that spot from them. She is the ONLY person to blame for her downfall and to imply otherwise hurts people who could have succeeded in this role.

This is entirely correct.

They can't claim that "society is racist" as the reason Claudine Gay was dethroned, when that same society facilitated her rise in the first place. It's like thanking god for the good things but not blaming god for the bad things... only, sort of inverted.

One of the angry Tweets from Marc Lamont Hill was:

The next president of Harvard University MUST be a Black woman.

This is literally the same diversity-hire attitude that got Harvard into this mess in the first place.

But let's roll with this. How about Carol M. Swain? She's a black woman. She's one of the people Claudine Gay stole from, so if they liked Gay's "scholarship," what they actually liked incorporated Swain's ideas. Swain is also a conservative and a Xian, though. So, what are the chances? When they say "diversity," what they really mean is "ideological conformity."

Any other president would not have been so well insulated or protected. Bob Casten resigned as President of the University of South Carolina after remarks from one commencement speech he gave included plagiarized content.

https://edition.cnn.com/2021/05/14/us/plagiarism-commencement-speech-south-carolina/index.html

The resignation of University of South Carolina president Bob Caslen for plagiarizing remarks in a commencement speech is the most recent example of the awkwardness faced by educators and school leaders when higher-ups find inspiration in the wrong ways.

Caslen resigned from his position Wednesday after admitting his commencement speech plagiarized portions of a speech given by the former head of US Special Operations Command, retired Navy Adm. William McRaven.

“I was searching for words about resilience in adversity and when they were transcribed into the speech, I failed to ensure its attribution. I take full responsibility for this oversight,” Caslen wrote in a letter to students obtained by CNN affiliate WIS.

One speech. Not even scholarship. Not research. A single speech. Not only that, but he took responsibility. He said, the buck stops with me.

Harvard was still backing Gay when the total accusations was up to 40. And Gay's resignation letter demonstrates no responsibility, and only entitlement and deflection. If you've seen the Roland Fryer video, this is completely on brand for someone as corrupt as her.

She was't outsted because she's a black woman. She was protected because she's a black woman. This is the gaslighting that they do. Gay and Harvard are the villains. As you mentioned, she stole a prestigious position from someone else. Could have been a black woman, could have been a white man. Doesn't matter. She stole a position someone else was more qualified to take.

And Harvard facilitated this fraud. And it was fraud. It's literally academic fraud. There were murmurs in corridors for years about Gay's scholarship long before it was ever exposed. But Harvard didn't address it, and when they were pressured to in this most recent blow-up, they faked an "investigation" that found only minor issues with quotation marks. It seems much more like not only they knew, but actively facilitated it. It's extremely hard to believe that, given this goes all the way back to her dissertation, they were completely unaware of this pervasive fraud, and much more likely they were not only aware, but colluded.

Gay and Harvard are the villains. But this is the DARVO - Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender - that they do. You're supposed to feel guilty for noticing their malfeasance. You don't need to. And it's so blatant this time that I think this might even be a tipping point in some way. People are completely fed up with being manipulated. But that's "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion"'s entire game.

THE INCONVENIENT TRUTH ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.....CAROL SWAIN

When you think about racial equality and civil rights, which political party comes to mind?

The Republicans? Or, the Democrats? Most people would probably say the Democrats. But this answer is incorrect.

Since its founding in 1829, the Democratic Party has fought against every major civil rights initiative, and has a long history of discrimination.

The Democratic Party defended slavery, started the Civil War, opposed Reconstruction, founded the Ku Klux Klan, imposed segregation, perpetrated lynchings, and fought against the civil rights acts of the 1950s and 1960s.

In contrast, the Republican Party was founded in 1854 as an anti-slavery party. Its mission was to stop the spread of slavery into the new western territories with the aim of abolishing it entirely. This effort, however, was dealt a major blow by the Supreme Court. In the 1857 case Dred Scott v. Sandford, the court ruled that slaves aren’t citizens; they’re property.

The seven justices who voted in favor of slavery? All Democrats. The two justices who dissented? Both Republicans.

The slavery question was, of course, ultimately resolved by a bloody civil war. The commanderin-chief during that war was the first Republican President, Abraham Lincoln – the man who freed the slaves.

Six days after the Confederate army surrendered, John Wilkes Booth, a Democrat, assassinated President Lincoln. Lincoln’s vice president, a Democrat named Andrew Johnson, assumed the presidency. But Johnson adamantly opposed Lincoln’s plan to integrate the newly freed slaves into the South’s economic and social order.

Johnson and the Democratic Party were unified in their opposition to the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery; the 14th Amendment, which gave blacks citizenship; and the 15th Amendment, which gave blacks the vote.

All three passed only because of universal Republican support.

During the era of Reconstruction, federal troops stationed in the south helped secure rights for the newly freed slaves. Hundreds of black men were elected to southern state legislatures as Republicans, and 22 black Republicans served in the US Congress by 1900. The Democrats did not elect a black man to Congress until 1935.

But after Reconstruction ended, when the federal troops went home, Democrats roared back into power in the South. They quickly reestablished white supremacy across the region with measures like black codes – laws that restricted the ability of blacks to own property and run businesses. And they imposed poll taxes and literacy tests, used to subvert the black citizen’s right to vote.

And how was all of this enforced? By terror -- much of it instigated by the Ku Klux Klan,

founded by a Democrat, Nathan Bedford Forrest.

As historian Eric Foner - himself a Democrat - notes:

“In effect, the Klan was a military force serving the interests of the Democratic Party.”

President Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat, shared many views with the Klan. He re-segregated many federal agencies, and even screened the first movie ever played at the White House - the racist film “The Birth of a Nation,” originally entitled “The Clansman.”

A few decades later, the only serious congressional opposition to the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 came from Democrats.

Eighty percent of Republicans in Congress supported the bill. Less than 70 percent of

Democrats did. Democratic senators filibustered the bill for 75 days, until Republicans mustered the few extra votes needed to break the logjam.

And when all of their efforts to enslave blacks, keep them enslaved, and then keep them from voting had failed, the Democrats came up with a new strategy: If black people are going to vote, they might as well vote for Democrats. As President Lyndon Johnson was purported to have said about the Civil Rights Act, “I’ll have them n*****s voting Democrat for two hundred years.”

So now, the Democratic Party prospers on the votes of the very people it has spent much of its history oppressing.

Democrats falsely claim that the Republican Party is the villain, when in reality it’s the failed policies of the Democratic Party that have kept blacks down. Massive government welfare has decimated the black family. Opposition to school choice has kept them trapped in failing schools. Politically correct policing has left black neighborhoods defenseless against violent crime.

So, when you think about racial equality and civil rights, which political party should come to mind?

A prominent professor has called for the immediate sacking of Harvard University president Claudine Gay to steer the school “back towards sanity” after she allegedly plagiarized other academics’ work 40 times.

Political science professor Dr. Carol Swain, formerly of Vanderbilt University, claims Gay used sections of a book she published in 1993 and an article published in 1997 without crediting her.

“Fire Claudine Gay posthaste,” Swain posted Thursday on X, as part of a post titled “some free unsolicited advice for Harvard University.”

“She can be relieved of duties until the terms are negotiated.

“Hire the best man or woman who can steer the university back towards sanity.”

She also told the Ivy League college it needs to stop “appeasing the Marxist identity politics mob,” saying it “should not be a consideration,” in their decision making processes.  

Harvard University did not respond to a request for comment from The Post Thursday.

Swain also urged the prestigious Ivy League school to “apologize to alumni, students, parents, and donors who have been harmed and embarrassed.”

I have some free unsolicited advice for Harvard University. 1. Stop listening to the apologists for plagiarism. 2. Fire Claudine Gay posthaste. She can be relieved of duties until the terms are negotiated. 3. Stop listening to the racist mob of whites and blacks who cry racism… pic.twitter.com/TggW9QzTkB— Dr. Carol M. Swain (@carolmswain) December 21, 2023

“Have a sit down conversation with the people who have been harmed by the plagiarism of Gay and the system that protects her,” Swain continued.

She added she was “weighing [her] options” in response to a question from a follower about whether she planned to take legal action against Gay.

Plagiarism allegations against Gay first surfaced earlier this month, with accusations that she lifted other scholars’ works in her 1997 doctoral thesis and that four papers published between 1993 and 2017 did not include proper attribution.

Gay remains president of the college and an investgation by the university cleared her of research misconduct.

Claudine Gay has the unanimous support of the university’s board, its governing body said in a statement. David McGlynn

Although she will update attribution in three instances of her work, the university said it is standing by her on Thursday, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Harvard finds more ‘duplicative language’ in president Claudine Gay’s work as Congress investigates plagiarism

An earlier statement on December 12 from the Harvard Corporation, the school’s highest governing body, said officials became aware of claims of plagiarism in late October and had initiated an independent review. That found no misconduct, and a review deemed further plagiarism claims submitted earlier this week “without merit,” according to the WSJ.

In the aftermath of that statement, The Post revealed how Harvard had actually covered up a weeks-long investigation into whether Gay had used other researchers’ work without crediting it and hired a bulldog law firm to help cover it up.

In a statement to the Boston Globe, Gay has vehemently defended her academic rigor, saying: “I stand by the integrity of my scholarship. Throughout my career, I have worked to ensure my scholarship adheres to the highest academic standards.”

Swain prevoiusly blasted Gay in an essay for the same newspaper, in which she wrote: “Ms. Gay had no problem riding on the coattails of people whose work she used without proper attribution. Many of those whose work she pilfered aren’t as incensed as I am. They are elites who have benefited from a system that protects its own.”

Mobile signboards were recently placed around the campus that urged the school to fire Gay. This one described her as a “national disgrace.” David McGlynn

The plagiarism allegations have attracted the attention of Congress, with the House Committee on Education and the Workforce expanding an already existing investigation into antisemitism on the college campus to include the accusations of plagiarism,��according to the Harvard Crimson.

Gay was already under fire over her handling of antisemitic behavior on campus following the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks on Israel and her responses at a separate congressional hearing about them where she refused to condemn Harvard students calling for the genocide of Jews.

In the ensuing firestorm, a bipartisan group of members of Congress introduced a resolution calling for Gay to resign from her position, but the college also stood by her at that time too.

[ochoislas]

Sus rizos de oro en plata mudó el tiempo; ¡ay tiempo raudo que jamás te frenas! Si juventud la edad escarnecía, de su mismo medrar le vino mengua. Vigor, belleza, se ajan a ojos vistas; obligación y fe son verdes cepas.

Su yelmo ya será nido de abejas, y los sonetos mudará por salmos; si antaño caballero, ya de hinojos bodrio de la vejez, comerá rezos. Mas aunque deje corte por cabaña conoce su patrón su alma sin tacha.

Y luego triste en su nativa celda tal villancico enseñará a sus mozos: «Bien hayan pechos que a mi dueño sirven, malditos quienes le deseen mal». Admite , diosa, por tu rezandero a este viejo que fuera tu amador.

*

His golden locks time hath to silver turn'd;     O time too swift, O swiftness never ceasing! His youth 'gainst time and age hath ever spurn'd,     But spurn'd in vain; youth waneth by increasing: Beauty, strength, youth, are flowers but fading seen; Duty, faith, love, are roots, and ever green.

His helmet now shall make a hive for bees;     And lovers' sonnets turn'd to holy psalms, A man-at-arms must now serve on his knees,     And feed on prayers, which are age his alms: But though from court to cottage he depart, His saint is sure of his unspotted heart.

And when he saddest sits in homely cell,     He'll teach his swains this carol for a song: "Blest be the hearts that wish my sovereign well,     Curst be the souls that think her any wrong." Goddess, allow this aged man his right, To be your beadsman now that was your knight.

George Peele

A Hog a Day Part 10

Art by Kathleen Swain Cousin Carol married a sorry guy. He wasn’t crazy about working. In fact, he was pretty much averse to it. He had better things to do, hunting, fishing, sleeping and making babies.  He and Carol had three babies in record time.   It worried Daddy’s brother terribly that Jerry didn’t provide for Carol and the kids.  As a favor to him, Daddy had Jerry meet him at the house one…

Of course, the usual suspects are out in full force.

Apparently, being held to the same standards as every student in the university is "racism." This is how pathetic and fake accusations of "racism" have degenerated into.

They've been pulling this bullshit for the last few years, only now it's not working any more. This could be the tipping point where the crazy little girls who were accusing everybody of being witches lose their power and the witch-hunt hysteria comes to a very quick end.

What's really notable is that they're not upset that a prominent black, female "scholar" is a fraud, it's that a prominent black, female "scholar" has been shown to be a fraud. They're literally angry at the messenger.

Never forget that Claudine Gay stole from black scholars, such as Carol M. Swain, orchestrated the dismissal of Ronald S. Sullivan Jr., a black professor, because she disagrees with due process and the principle of "guilty until innocent," and conspired to have black professor Roland Fryer's work shut down because it completely blew up her whole rac-grifting career. Claudine Gay is no victim. She's manipulative, deceitful and unscrupulous.

There's no better proof that these lunatics are anti-merit, anti-responsibility and anti-intellectual than their defence of someone with a career-long history of theft and fraud. Claudine Gay was a nothing but a corrupt and dangerously unqualified diversity hire in the first place and never should have been president at all, much less retain her ill-gotten position once her fraud was uncovered.

Small-time investors in Trump’s Truth Social reckon with stock collapse

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/04/14/truth-social-investors-faith-trump/

Carol Swain, a prominent conservative commentator in Nashville who previously taught political science at Vanderbilt University, said she invested $1,000 in Trump Media stock earlier this month, at $48 a share, over the objections of her financial adviser, who predicted the stock would dive.

“If I lose it, fine. If I make a profit, wonderful. But at the end of the day, I wanted to show my support,” she said. “There’s such an effort to destroy him and strip his wealth away, and so much glee about it. I would like to see him be a winner.”

She, too, suspects stock manipulation, arguing that “the people who hate Donald Trump would do anything to try to hurt him.” As for Truth Social itself, she said she posts there only sparingly and prefers X, where she has 35 times as many followers. “I have always wanted not to just preach to the choir,” she said.

McLain, the tree service owner in Oklahoma, said he believes the stock could “go to $1,000 a share, easy,” once the media stops writing so negatively about it and the company works through its growing pains. The company’s leaders, he said, are being “too silent right now” amid questions about the falling share price, but he suspects it’s because they’re working on something amazing and new.

McLain is an amateur trader — he invested only once before and “lost [his] butt” — and said he hasn’t talked to his family about his investment, saying, “You know how that is.” But he believes the Trump Media deal is a sign he is “supposed to invest,” he said.

“This isn’t just another stock to me. … I feel like it was God Almighty that put it in my lap,” he said. “I’ve just got to hold on and let them do their job. If you go on emotion, you’ll get out of this thing the first time it goes down.”
