Everyone needs to vote for JENNA for Substacks first 40 over 40 award! (NOT sponsored by Substack). Do it today. Do it now. Goodness knows she’s more than worthy!
[TL;DR: Looks like voting is LIMITED to WOMEN, and ONLY over-40s (because EVERYONE knows no WOMAN will EVER inspire a MAN or a woman UNDER-40?)! oooo kkkkk... Remind me: what year is this?]
I don't know her age (also required), and I'm not sure she's published it. And anyway, I think Jenna looks and sounds (a very young-ish) 36, so may not qualify.
It should be said: "There's a schedule." NOMINATE, VOTE, CELEBRATE.
NOMINATE (Now through–Nov 10) Any woman over 40 on Substack.
VOTE (Nov 15–Dec 1): Everyone votes for their top 10. 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝟰𝟬 can vote.
CELEBRATE (Dec 8): Top 40 announced. Every nominee gets featured. [Can't make it; I'll feel like a fifth-wheel at 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 party.] <mock upset>
Guess I better quit saying in a southern accent ‘I’m 30-damn-9’ when asked my age. Otherwise I can’t vote!
Ps I won’t ever cop to how many decades I am over that! Oh, I got the accent from an old neighbor of mine who was from Georgia I think. She was 7-8 years older than her husband and had a complex about it I guess 😉
I am pretty sure my kids had access to an online entity where students would post reviews of professors, courses, etc. Back then, 2002-2008, the info was about grading, pet peeves, unfair tactics and not so much political ideology. It helped make the first couple of years of undergrad easier knowing which gen studies profs to avoid. Wish I had had one like it.
We definitely need this for every grade, not just college-level. We need to eliminate all tutu-wearing, fake-rainbow flag waiving, love-is-love-except-that-I-hate-everything-good-and-decent spewing indoctrinators from schools, including the admins that tolerate or support them.
Committed Leftists, especially college professors, believe they own the intellectual and moral high ground. They live in a self imposed bubble where they are safe from reality. Making Charlie’s list, burst their safe bubble.
The day after Trump’s win in 2015, the Chancellor of the University of Pittsburgh notified the entire faculty that we owed our students “space to grieve” and class time that day should be dedicated to that.
Oh don’t you remember that? It happened all over America. Even one of my local “esteemed universities” that gets LOTS of federal grant money, for the Feds and State of Commifornia, University of California San Diego did it!
[Reminder: LIKE the article (if you do) before you comment (even if you don't). It helps the--dumb--algorithm figure out Jenna McCarthy's column is popular.]
I have two reactions. Firstly, "No, Professor Mitchum, the goal is to get you to START TALKING SENSE!", and secondly, leftists in fear of losing their jobs for saying something 'unpopular' with people who are right, should BEAR IN MIND how they themselves RIG the system to PREVENT people who are right from EVER GETTING one of "THEIR" jobs in the FIRST PLACE!
The problem communist professors have is the same one that pedophiles have: light being shown where they've come to feel entitled to darkness. For over 50 years, communist "teachers" have taken advantage of their 𝘪𝘯 𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘰 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘴 status to "deconstruct" mores parents "thought" they had safely instilled and replaced them with their own programming. Not "instructing": "imprinting."
I've watched a raft of nieces and nephews "go off to college" and come back little Maos.
Charlie didn't call for their expulsion. But I do. "Tenure covereth a multitude of evils."
"You're not 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 hated because of your speech; 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴 you're hated simply because you're hateful."
These days I often go a month without getting a single new paid subscriber and, on a net basis, I'm losing at least four paid subscribers every month. In the last two or three weeks, I LOSE three Free subscribers with every new article I post. The only thing that makes me think some people might still be reading my articles is the "like" metric ... so I appreciate everyone who "hits me with a like."
I think a fair number of my "subscribers" are now bots, but that's just a hypothesis or my "Spider Sense."
By the same token, the "Lunatic Left" newsletter authors are adding thousands of subscribers every month. I can't figure it out. Something has changed IMO.
Will they succeed in destroying Charlie Kirk's work? Does anyone have numbers on declining enrollment in colleges, woke classes being canceled due to lack of enrollment, or hell, even professors being fired due to the list? Because I don't think the sway that professors have is over by a long shot.
Also, I still think I shouldn't be surprised by anything the Left does but I am. I am appalled and saddened they are blaming Kirk's death on him creating the environment that killed him! How messed up is that? 😢
>>Will they succeed in destroying Charlie Kirk's work? <<
I don't believe so, as TPUSA has sent out over 100,000 TPUSA Student starter packs to interested students at both high schools and universities since his death. They wanted to shut him up, instead they created a martyr.
We need to start a “Woke or Not” list, kind of the opposite of Hot or Not, as a public service. It would cover everyone, not just college professors. Honestly, if I hear someone is an academic I just assume they’re woke.
A couple of people dear to me swear CK was a racist. I spent the better part of a week watching every single video I could dig up, from start to finish. I came away with the sense that CK was even more non-racist, thought provoking and compelling than I had already known.
Clearly the evil somebody—- (Idk who. Satan’s minions?) are clipping videos right and left, with the skill of the 60 MINUTES editors in charge of Kamala’s interview, taking her word salad and somehow making it appear to be a concise, meaningful, thoughtful exchange. They clip each video until they portray a racist— or whatever their hateful hearts dredge up to spew.
The root here has GOT to be to somehow convince the left to, at least on occasion, venture OUT of their echo chamber, become for a few moments, intellectually curious and ask themselves what it is about CK (or DJT, or RFK, or anti-vaxxers, or…) that makes them feel the polar opposite of how they, themselves feel about that person or idea.
One watched a few and softened her view a bit. The other steadfastly argues, and refuses to watch. He’s an elitist, voted for Kamala, and I feel I am casting my pearls before swine.
I just keep hoping that someone will get through to him or at least get him to listen to 1-2 things. I don’t mind people being stubborn after having listened to all sides. I just hate it when they refuse to budge OR consider all
That’s the thing…they spout all this utter baseless BS, but refuse to even consider a view or opinion other than their own. Now who is prejudice and judge mental? Your elitist friend! And if you call them out on how prejudiced and judgement they are, they flip out!
I could have added to the watchlist myself, back in the day. As far as my own observations went, faculty are largely incapable of critical thinking, and they are very comfortable snuggling into and protecting their own elitist culture.
I’ll read this between clients but I need to own that mug! Hahaha! I know a few people who could do with some reminding! And Anne LaMott’s quote…perfect.
"Charlie Kirk called out bias". Yes, he did, and TPUSA members at a small liberal arts college in northern Ohio also called out bias against the "bias" reporting system of said university and got nowhere. Whenever the TPUSA kids reported bias, they either got no response, or were handwaved. When other students who held different beliefs, gender orientation etc utilized the bias system, they got attention. The TP students noticed the different treatment they received in comparison to others and the university did nothing, except in these students minds to continue proliferating bias. It was a tough place for these kids to be, to witness abject failure of a system, and a great, albiet painful, learning experience as well. Zero doubt in my mind "diversity" was involved in this mess.
Some faculty/staff at this university also posted inappropriate social media messaging regarding Kirk's assination. An internal communication, not from the administration but from a representative of a faculty group, wrote: "I am deeply troubled by the ugly responses to which our colleagues have been subjected following their posts", and then proceeded to remind everyone that privacy settings don't ensure something won't get out on the public domain, be sure to state that your views are not the views of the university, etc type things.
As an alumn of this university, I am deeply troubled that this faculty member and apparently others are clueless that it's inappropriate to celebrate someone's murder.
Has there been disciplinary action against these faculty/staff who inappropriately posted and received "ugly responses"? Don't know as the campus directory, faculty listings in departments are no longer available. The university put out an email that because they've been working on their website, certain things are down. Hmmmm....🤔
I also believe that the covid propoganda of making it ok to mistreat those who made the non-narrative choice and who faced a lot of bias (to put it mildly) in work settings, social media, relationships, etc, emboldened those to think they can write anything on social media and it's perfectly acceptable.
I actually love this idea! .. good to know it exists. Students and parents often forget that THEY are the customer, and they have a right to complain when the service is sub par.
Everyone needs to vote for JENNA for Substacks first 40 over 40 award! (NOT sponsored by Substack). Do it today. Do it now. Goodness knows she’s more than worthy!

Yay!

I'm 56 (I think; true story) and I guess my handle is @jennamccarthy, if Nard says so! ;)
You'll always be '30'something.
56? Nope. '30-26'
Sounds better already.
PS: Keep up the CK reading/writing.
Encouraging to see all sides getting air-time.
@jennamccarthy
You don’t need her exact age…just “ish”. She’s close to mine, and I’m 59 ;).
I’ll add this info to my comment!
P.s. she’s gonna love you for the “36” comment ☺️.
(I probably accused her of starting her family at age 14 or something like that...)
‼️‼️
She’s talked about her age before, she’s in the 55-56 range.
I edited my comment to include :). Hopefully this will make things easier for folks. Thanks, David, for pointing it out!
"She's in the 55-56 [or 59] range."
(She should do a column on "beauty secrets.") (...and "How I've kept my 36-year-old outlook!")
Well, I don't know about Jenna's beauty secrets but she has some excellent photos.
Thank you! Jenna is definitely my #1.
❤️😘💋
So many to choose from! I love today’s, so I’ll choose it!
Nard - I seconded your nomination of Jenna.
Jenna - did you get any new subs from this effort?
Guess I better quit saying in a southern accent ‘I’m 30-damn-9’ when asked my age. Otherwise I can’t vote!
Ps I won’t ever cop to how many decades I am over that! Oh, I got the accent from an old neighbor of mine who was from Georgia I think. She was 7-8 years older than her husband and had a complex about it I guess 😉
Voted!! 💯🤩
The vote link was missing I think…
It should be in the article :)
I've looked twice!!! What the heck am I missing?
You nominate in the comment section of the article ;).
“….free speech isn’t the same thing as consequence-free speech. “
I want the t shirt.
I like: "Freedom of Reach" is just as important as "freedom of speech."
“Professors denounce the list as harassment and intimidation.”
But I bet they didn’t denounce the unvaxxed lists.
I bet they didn’t denounce the pro-Israel lists.
I bet they didn’t denounce the ICE lists.
So many “nice” lists, but only “one” naughty lists. These people are SOOOOO UNSELF-AWARE🤦♀️.
They didn't denounce the intimidating classroom environments they created whenever a student dared to question their indoctrination lecture points.
I am pretty sure my kids had access to an online entity where students would post reviews of professors, courses, etc. Back then, 2002-2008, the info was about grading, pet peeves, unfair tactics and not so much political ideology. It helped make the first couple of years of undergrad easier knowing which gen studies profs to avoid. Wish I had had one like it.
Yes. Most definitely it existed. I remember reading it.
We definitely need this for every grade, not just college-level. We need to eliminate all tutu-wearing, fake-rainbow flag waiving, love-is-love-except-that-I-hate-everything-good-and-decent spewing indoctrinators from schools, including the admins that tolerate or support them.
Especially the Admins. Those are the ones making all of this possible and enforcing thieve idiocies.
Committed Leftists, especially college professors, believe they own the intellectual and moral high ground. They live in a self imposed bubble where they are safe from reality. Making Charlie’s list, burst their safe bubble.
The day after Trump’s win in 2015, the Chancellor of the University of Pittsburgh notified the entire faculty that we owed our students “space to grieve” and class time that day should be dedicated to that.
Same happened at my Alma Mater. All contributions stopped that day.
"All contributions stopped that day."
They should memorialize that event with a big hole in the ground where something nice could've been.
Are you freaking kidding me?!!!
Oh don’t you remember that? It happened all over America. Even one of my local “esteemed universities” that gets LOTS of federal grant money, for the Feds and State of Commifornia, University of California San Diego did it!
Yep! Pretty pathetic,for sure…
I don’t remember that at all. I
must’ve slept through it. 😝 I went to a little Christian college and I’m sure they get nada from Uncle Sam.
I wish I were kidding. Most of my colleagues followed orders.
These people have been consequence-free for a looooong time.
Something, something, entitled children.
"believe they own the intellectual and moral high ground" I'm not sure which of those two is the most absurd.
I've got them neck-and-neck.

Indeed they did! I pray that his movement continues and those with a voice and a platform get out there and do what he did at TP events.
“a crisis hotline that helps professors cope with the scandal of being quoted publicly “. You simply cannot make this stuff up.
That is tax payer money well spent….plus tuition. 😂
Only in Progressive Clown World can people be quoted their exact words while they deny and blame it on sane people.
We need to start a “Woke or Not” list, kind of the opposite of Hot or Not, as a public service. It would cover everyone, not just college professors. Honestly, if I hear someone is an academic I just assume they’re woke.
Sadly, I do as well. I may take it a bit further though 🤯🙄😂
Useless as tits on a bull 🔥😎👊
Perfection, Jenna.

HOW do we do that?
Jenna, ideas? Humor helps.
But did those “people dear to you” watch any of those videos as well to come to their conclusions? That would likely be a NO!
One watched a few and softened her view a bit. The other steadfastly argues, and refuses to watch. He’s an elitist, voted for Kamala, and I feel I am casting my pearls before swine.

Like most experts, lib professors continue to be baffled.
