This thread is worthy of johnforbes-- nothing but innuendo.

You morons don't seem to understand that both her parents attended Harvard, and thus she would be considered a Legacy.
That in itself could be enough for her to be admitted if her grades were borderline.
But the fact is, Malia was known for her tennis. She actually is an athlete. Right now you don't have the foggiest idea whether her coach was even involved in her college application beyond giving an honest evaluation of her talent.

If she's learning to be "a sneaky fucking crook" then she may switch to Republican and win the Nixon/Cheney Prize.

Maybe, how would I know? How would YOU know? What's your point, dummy? Is it the same as johnforbes' non-points?

You know, just petty partisan irrelevancies that have no meaning?

Malia isn't President. She isn't running for anything. She's just like the children of all the Republicans in Washington who try to get into good colleges.

She's privileged, spoiled, likely still a dumb kid with no life experience. If you laugh at her you're laughing at all those Republican kids too, dimwit. So laugh your fool head off.

Since when is nothing but innuendo not enough for a libtard to demand a thorough investigation? Trump's DOJ should offer Malia's couch a deal, if he'll testify against the federal crimes the Obamas committed to get her into Harvard.

If you learned how to read you would know my name is ClownKICKER, dumbfuck.

You're just fortunate that you love having a boot up your ass so much. Most people hate the intrusion. To you it's just another day bending over the leech trough where you live off the socialist handouts from your fellow Americans.

Elkin, I'll accept your apology.

Obviously, the server is both unsecure and insecure.

Insecure also means easily broken into.

Hillary's server was bleached -- or, to break away from the slang of computer people for a second, BleachBit-ed.

Who deletes 33,000 emails under congressional subpoena, then bleaches the server?

A person (Hillary) who had much to hide.

Now Elkin will be man enough to apologize.

Third Wednesday: Insecure vs. Unsecure

It’s easy to make simple mistakes in word use. After all, in the English language so many words sound similar. However, the specific meaning of a word can completely change what we’re trying to express.

“County officials discovered over two hundred insecure voting machines only days before the election.”

Reading the above sentence, I got the mental image of a room full of voting machines whining that the crowds of people made them anxious about keeping an accurate tally of votes.

Insecure – not safe from danger; filled with anxieties, not confident, apprehensive; unreliable, not dependable.

Marlis’s demanding society-queen mother-in-law made her feel insecure no matter how appropriately the younger woman dressed.

Starting a new grade in a new school without the company of his buddies made Arnold feel insecure.

Unsecure – not made secure, not firmly in place; not guaranteed by collateral.

Only after he climbed atop the shelves and discovered they wobbled wildly did Roger realize they were unsecure.

Until you spin the dial on a closed Diebold safe, the contents you want to protect remain unsecure.



Here’s another look at Insecure and Unsecure.

Wrong:

The baseball game was an insecure meeting place for the police commissioner and the mob boss.

Any writer would be unsecure after reading the scathing review just published by the Piccolo Post.

Right:

It was evident that Marvin felt insecure about making the presentation to the company president.

Although he labored to prevent anyone without authority catching a glimpse of the classified documents, he left them unsecured on his desk when he fell asleep in the break room.

Being insecure about his capabilities placed Marvin in the unsecure position of pleading to keep his job after the debacle.



Need a memory trick to distinguish these words? If it’s all about the feeling, it’s “in” the person’s psyche.

“Every year, alumni contribute to their alma maters with the expectation of special treatment for their children,” said Kahlenberg, who’s involved in a separate pending lawsuit over Harvard University’s consideration of race in admission. “This more genteel form of bribery is considered perfectly legal. Not only that, the donors get a tax break to boot, undercutting the fundamental legal principle that a charitable donation should not enrich the donor.”

A famous example involves Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, whose father, then a wealthy real-estate developer, in 1998 pledged $2.5 million to Harvard. Kushner—who, the investigative reporter Daniel Golden notes in his 2006 book, The Price of Admission, was described by administrators at his high school as a mediocre student—was admitted to the school shortly after that."-The Atlantic

Can you believe mediocre students are admitted to premier universities when they aren't qualified?
I'm sure RealTool and johnforbes are outraged Kushner took the place of a student who was much more qualified. They both been here saying repeatedly they hate this sort of unfair discrimination when a qualified student loses their spot to someone unqualified or less qualified. They hide their hypocrisy behind "racism" of course. They hate blacks getting an unfair assist.

Let's see how much they hate unqualified whites getting an unfair assist. I predict either silence or desperate diversion from them both.

If true, that would be the last remaining affirmative action for white kids.

But the proof is in the pudding.

Any JD program is packed with tedious lectures and endless casework, and the same is often true to case-based MBA programs, so Kushner obviously was a diligent, bright lad who pushed through the programs.

If the same is true of Barry and Manchelle, where -- pray tell -- are their transcripts and why are they hidden?
Obliterated what?
