Student Accepted at Yale After Writing about Her Love for Pizza
by Shifra on May 28, 2017I bet I could get into Yale Law School by submitting my cheesecake recipe. It’s really good. Via Circa. The dreaded personal statement and/or college statement often include questions like, “Where do you hope to see yourself in 10 years?” and “What personal experiences helped shape who you are?” Instead of adding extra pressure to an already anxiety-producing process, Carolina Williams chose to write about what she loves: ordering pizza from Papa John’s. That passion was well-received by Yale University’s admission’s office–so much, in fact, it landed her an acceptance letter to the Ivy League school, The Tennessean reported. In 200 words or fewer, Williams addressed the feelings of “joy” and “independence” she feels when she orders pizza…. Not only...

NYT Op-Ed: Asian Salad is ‘Racist’
by Shifra on May 1, 2017No, this is not from ‘The Onion.” And I don’t think Asian salad actually has onions in it, but, yep, it’s racist. Via Free Beacon. A New York Times op-ed published Thursday night denounced the existence of Asian salad and called on restaurants to remove the “racist” dish from their menus. “Why Is Asian Salad Still on the Menu?” asked Bonnie Tsui, complaining that the common offering was “something created in the name of Asians by non-Asians [and] has become a touchstone for non-Asians.” The impetus for the piece was when Tsui came across an “Asian Emperor Salad” on the menu at a San Francisco bar…. Tsui admits that other cultures–like the Greeks–have a salad named after them. “And yet...

Bombshell Report: Susan Rice Responsible for ‘Unmasking’ of Trump Officials
by Tammy on April 3, 2017Scoundrels and crooks. Reporting by Eli Lake contends it was Rice, Obama’s National Security Advisor, and the woman chosen to spread the Benghazi lies, as the one who unmasked Trump officials. The next action, as we know, was the dissemination of that information. If true, this is significant, as it puts these actions not just directly in the White House, but in Obama’s inner circle. When you look at the action itself and the information they collected (and Rice specifically sought), and if all this is confirmed as true, it looks very much like the Obama administration was spying on the Trump transition team. This would be a shocking and unprecedented action. Next question: Will the bureaucratic swamp allow them...

U of Chicago Grants $300K Scholarship To Illegal Immigrant Who Worked For BLM, Sanders
by Shifra on August 5, 2016Excellent credentials for a school where Obama pal and unrepentant domestic terrorist Bill Ayers is a professor of education. Via Campus Reform. The University of Chicago has awarded an illegal immigrant nearly $300,000 in scholarships to attend the prestigious private institution in the fall. David Rodriguez (a pseudonym used for security purposes) fled to America from Mexico with his family when he was five years old, eventually settling in Tennessee—a state notoriously opposed to open-border immigration policies.
