Deep dives
Ukraine Aid Stalled in Congress as Zelensky Visits White House
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's visit to the White House comes amidst stalled negotiations for emergency aid to Ukraine. The country's counter-offensive against Russian forces have not been successful, and there is a need for a new strategy to revive Ukraine's fortunes. The military stockpiles of Western countries are depleted, and Europe has demilitarized itself over the years. The US is the primary provider of support to Ukraine, but aid is being held up due to disagreements over border provisions. It is crucial for the supplemental budget request to go through to continue assisting Ukraine.
Biden Administration Playing Stupid Game with Ukraine Aid
The Biden administration is playing a puzzling game regarding Ukraine aid. Although aid for Ukraine can be secured, the administration refuses to sign on to border provisions, jeopardizing the passage of the aid package. This stance not only risks Ukraine's security but also puts blame on Republicans if the deal falls apart. Chuck Schumer and Tony Blinken are urging Republicans to compromise, but it seems Democrats are the ones unwilling to budge on the border issue. Meanwhile, the situation in Ukraine remains dire, with Ukraine's counter-offensive against Russian forces failing to regain lost territory.
Migrants Await Processing in Harsh Conditions at US-Mexico Border
A remote desert region along the southern border has become a makeshift arrivals area for thousands of migrants from Africa, Asia, and Latin America. They are hoping to work and reunite with family members in the United States. Lack of resources and manpower has made processing delays prolonged, resulting in migrants setting up makeshift camps and enduring harsh conditions. Without proper facilities, they are forced to relieve themselves outdoors and are reliant on food and drinks sold by locals. The Biden administration is hesitant to address the chaos at the border, even though it is impacting the security and well-being of migrants and the US immigration system.
Plagiarism Allegations against Cloudingay
Several scholars have accused Cloudingay of plagiarizing multiple academics during her academic career, including her doctoral dissertation. The analysis revealed instances of paraphrasing or quoting without proper attribution in four published papers. At least 10 instances of lifting full sentences or paragraphs were identified. Many scholars view this as a violation of academic integrity and Harvard's anti-plagiarism policies.
Harvard's Support for Cloudingay
Harvard University's board has expressed support for Cloudingay, despite the plagiarism allegations. The board justified its decision by citing academic freedom and stated that President Gay is the right leader to address societal issues. Critics argue that Harvard is prioritizing intersectionality and diversity over academic integrity, and that the university's support for Gay reflects the flaws within the DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) ideology.
Donald Trump leaps out to a massive polling advantage in Iowa – and is beating Joe Biden soundly in every major poll; Joe Biden’s economy is on the brink of disaster; and Harvard President Claudine Gay may survive both her alleged plagiarism and her softness on anti-Semitism.
