    Satire is a form of humor that exaggerates or ridicules.

    I think you have the two confused.
    He did have the two confused.
    I don't want to get into who is drinking who's piss or jizz, but as far as semantics arguments go, this one is right down there.
    Slick, you're wrong. Satire is not fake news.

    I get it. You don't want to be interrupted when you are having private discussions with Ray. I will make sure and respect your space from now on when you are with him.

    The Story Behind Jared Kushner’s Curious Acceptance into Harvard

    ProPublica editor Daniel Golden wrote a book a decade ago about how the rich buy their children access to elite colleges. One student he covered is now poised to become one of the most powerful figures in the country.

    My book exposed a grubby secret of American higher education: that the rich buy their under-achieving children’s way into elite universities with massive, tax-deductible donations. It reported that New Jersey real estate developer Charles Kushner had pledged $2.5 million to Harvard University in 1998, not long before his son Jared was admitted to the prestigious Ivy League school. At the time, Harvard accepted about one of every nine applicants. (Nowadays, it only takes one out of twenty.)

    I also quoted administrators at Jared’s high school, who described him as a less than stellar student and expressed dismay at Harvard’s decision.

    “There was no way anybody in the administrative office of the school thought he would on the merits get into Harvard,” a former official at The Frisch School in Paramus, New Jersey, told me. “His GPA did not warrant it, his SAT scores did not warrant it. We thought for sure, there was no way this was going to happen. Then, lo and behold, Jared was accepted. It was a little bit disappointing because there were at the time other kids we thought should really get in on the merits, and they did not.”

    ..... My Kushner discoveries were an offshoot of my research for a chapter on Harvard donors. Somebody had slipped me a document I had long coveted: the membership list of Harvard’s Committee on University Resources. The university wooed more than 400 of its biggest givers and most promising prospects by putting them on this committee and inviting them to campus periodically to be wined, dined, and subjected to lectures by eminent professors.

    My idea was to figure out how many children of these corporate titans, oil barons, money managers, lawyers, high-tech consultants and old-money heirs had gone to Harvard. A disproportionate tally might suggest that the university eased its standards for the offspring of wealthy backers.

    I began working through the list, poring over “Who’s Who in America” and Harvard class reunion reports for family information. Charles and Seryl Kushner were both on the committee. I had never heard of them, but their joint presence struck me as a sign that Harvard’s fundraising machine held the couple in especially fond regard.
    https://www.propublica.org/article/t...e-into-harvard

    With both parents on the Harvard committee, a rich criminal his daddy, and a Potus as father in law, it seems Jared was always destined for great things- never mind the fact he was a dumbass student. That's modern day amerka folks- merit be damned.

    A jew ratting out a fellow ? Unheard of.

    This explained a lot...

    The Myth of American Meritocracy | The American Conservative

    How corrupt are Ivy League admissions?
    Daniel Golden's book, The Price of Admission is mentioned. Further on in the article at my link:

    This overrepresentation of Jews is really quite extraordinary, since the group currently constitutes just 2.1 percent of the general population and about 1.8 percent of college-age Americans.52 Thus, although Asian-American high school graduates each year outnumber their Jewish classmates nearly three-to-one, American Jews are far more numerous at Harvard and throughout the Ivy League. Both groups are highly urbanized, generally affluent, and geographically concentrated within a few states, so the “diversity” factors considered above would hardly seem to apply; yet Jews seem to fare much better at the admissions office.

    Not sure if it means anything but all three of Tim Murphy's kids got in. He's the head football coach at Harvard the past 20+ years.

    I wonder if ever a study has been done on the unfair advantage the kids of college sport coaches getting preferential treatment?

    Or how about the military academies? Wonder if there is any nefarious shite going on there too?

    Contact Ron Unz and ask him to do a piece on your questions.

    Ron Unz Writings and Perspectives | Views, Opinions, and Notes

    As far as Murphy's kids, I would assume he being employed by Harvard would smooth the path for their admission.

    Why? This isn't the kind of position you give to an inexperienced relative.
    Give him a chance? No.

    True. Like the Olympics. In which the USA has the highest Gold Medal count in the history of all Olympic games.

    If you're talking about soccer, few Americans consider it to be a real sport - more something for kids to play.

    America is a huge country. They have their own sports, football, basketball, and baseball, about which they are passionate to the point of lunacy. They see no need to follow sports played in dreary, insignificant, lesser countries.

    I guess that's why they call it The World Series even though no other countries' compete.
