My opening statement at Harvard last night where I argued that DEI policies have done great harm to the people who supposedly benefit from them, to the social cohesion of the academic community, and to those who deserve to participate in higher education.

On the latest episode of my podcast, @LarryOConnor and I compared what Republicans in Congress have delivered with what Democrats are promising. The contrast is stark. Securing two more years of conservative majorities is well worth a trip to the polls. piped.video/ARUpqQm3tIc?is=igRG…

Only conservative majorities in Congress can protect the American worker. Leftists have already made it clear that they intend to replace you with cheap, foreign labor.

At Heritage, we consider hit pieces on our colleagues from outlets like Wired to be signals that we are over the target.

November is a choice between keeping your country or surrendering it to politicians like Rep. Ramirez, who makes clear here that the Left already has legislation drafted to grant mass amnesty, defund immigration enforcement, and reopen the border the moment it returns to power.
When the Left talks about “our people,” they do not mean Americans.
Rep. Delia Ramirez, who said she is more proud to be Guatemalan than American, says in Spanish:
"We are going to abolish the Department of Homeland Security...we are going to create a Department of Community Safety" so immigration is not handled by an agency that "likes to call immigrants terrorists..."

The rotten fruit of DEI is made evident in the lack of conservative representation across American colleges and universities. As I pointed out last night, less than 10% of the student body at Harvard is willing to identify as conservative. DEI stifles meaningful diversity.

If legacy media outlets want to win back credibility, they should start doing real investigative reporting to expose more fraud. We had a Netflix documentary investigating an alleged catering truck diversion within weeks, but rampant fraud in federal programs hasn’t made the cut.
.@VP: We are stopping Obamacare enrollment for about 750,000 people who we believe are fraudulently enrolled in the program and doing additional verification checks on about 419,000 more to make sure they meet the requirements.

Huge congratulations to @CFrancisFisher for being named President of @ISI. He has a sterling record of achievement, most recently as the Superintendent of Catholic Schools in the Archdiocese of San Francisco. Chris will be a tremendous leader of a most important institution.
From all of us @Heritage, congrats!
The Intercollegiate Studies Institute is proud to announce the appointment of Christopher Fisher as the next President of ISI.
Chris returns to ISI after 12 years, having previously served here in both programs and digital media roles.
He brings more than a decade of experience leading educational programs for students and teachers alike. Most recently he served as Superintendent of Catholic Schools for the Archdiocese of San Francisco. Before his work in San Francisco, Chris concluded a decade of leadership at Portsmouth Abbey, a Benedictine monastery and independent Catholic boarding school in Rhode Island, where he served as Executive Director of the Portsmouth Institute for Faith and Culture and taught in the school's Humanities program, grounding students in the great texts of the Western tradition.
Chris's deep commitment to the enduring ideas of the Western tradition, his record of institutional leadership, and his passion for forming the next generation of thoughtful, engaged citizens make him exceptionally well-suited to lead ISI into its next chapter.
Please join us in welcoming @CFrancisFisher back to the ISI family. We look forward to his leadership as ISI continues its longstanding tradition of educating for liberty.

Good timing for this event, as we’re seeing yet another example—this time from prominent DEI activist Nikole Hannah-Jones—that racial diversity for its own sake is not a meaningful driver of academic success. Looking forward to this conversation. I hope you’ll tune in.
Join a conversation with Center faculty affiliate @CornellWBrooks (@HarvardDivinity and @Kennedy_School) and @KevinRobertsTX (President of the Heritage Foundation) moderated by Washington Post reporter @laurameckler as they debate the role of diversity in higher education and American life.
Following the discussion, Center faculty affiliate @JuliaMinson will lead a facilitated debrief on engaging across disagreement for in-person attendees.
📅 Tue, Sept 22 at 6:00 p.m.
🎟️ In-person seats open to all Harvard ID holders.

Reminder that the conservatism of the Founders was much more “populist” than the Cato Institute would have you believe.
These people are totally divorced from the spirit of the Founding Fathers.
I tweeted a direct quote from Thomas Jefferson's Notes on Virginia and idiots like this guy at the Cato Institute hop right on to call it socialism.
What anti-American losers!

This is only the beginning. Suicidal immigration policies allow scammers like this to exploit America’s generosity for the benefit of foreign adversaries like the Chinese Communist Party. Prohibiting birth tourism in any form should be a top national security priority.

Elitists are often so self-absorbed that they don’t realize how absurd they sound. If we take Sunny’s account at face value, she spent years and a significant amount of money sending her children to a school she believed was filled with racists who were causing them psychological trauma. In reality, she sent them there because those schools were far superior to the public school alternatives. But instead of demanding that public schools adopt the standards she admits helped her own children succeed, she wants Americans who can’t afford prestigious private schools to pay even more in taxes to prop up failing public schools she would never consider for her own family. The problem isn’t racism or a lack of funding. (The study she cites falls apart when you look at funding on a per-pupil spending basis.) The problem is left-wing policy. Giving parents the freedom to direct education funding toward better schools, just as Sunny did for her own children, exposes that reality. And that’s precisely why the Left opposes it.
Sunny Hostin weighs in after ‘The New York Times’ writer Nikole Hannah-Jones said she’s second-guessing her decision to send her daughter to a public school instead of a private one.

Gas prices help shape voting decisions. As my colleague @ddmorganindc explains, modifying the EPA’s Renewable Fuel Standard could provide needed relief at the pump. Americans deserve lower energy costs, and this is one step that can help. heritage.org/energy/commenta…

Living up to the nickname, the Free State of Florida! Under Governor @RonDeSantis’ leadership, Florida has become the best state in America for giving parents access to the education that best fits their children’s needs. Congratulations on another year in the top spot!
NUMBER ONE IN EDUCATION FREEDOM.
For the 5th STRAIGHT YEAR, @Heritage has ranked the Free State of Florida as the top state for education freedom in the country.
We will continue leading on parents' rights, school choice, and academic integrity in our schools.

None of this is an accident. These are intentional policy choices made by leftists at every step of the way. To the Left, you and your family are collateral damage.
Just to recap what happened here.
1) Illegal alien from Guinea is caught and released at the AZ border by the Biden admin in 2023.
2) He’s arrested by NYPD in June in sanctuary NYC for sexually assaulting a minor & is released.
3) Now charged w/ raping his female underage teen passenger as a rideshare driver in Maryland.
Failure at every level & yet another example of a crime that should have never been able to happen in the first place.
