All Things Trump: The Return Of The King

given the second rate status of the Us he himself went to, I can understand that frump would have a deep seated resentment for really good education.

[Cunt]

Harvard was presented as 'really good education'. What did YOU think of the way they handled the Gay scandal?

[Svartalf]

I know of no gay scandal, nor of any prestigious university's involvement in such

From the searches..."Claudine Gay, the president of Harvard University, resigned on January 2, 2024, after six months in office, following allegations of plagiarism and backlash over her congressional testimony regarding antisemitism on campus."

She was talking to congress and was asked if calling for the end of jews was hatespeek, and she didn't want to say. (roughly speaking)

It's a funniest topic to hear public figures asked about, with most of them desperate to suddenly support islamists. Especially feminists

[Cunt]

oh, and like our Canadian politicians, 'resigned' seems to mean still gets paid and goes to work.

Translation: private universities, Berkeley and UCLA. All places "woke."
CNN:
Trump takes aim at elite universities
Elite universities especially are braced for an escalation in the Trump administration’s campaign – since they are regarded in the GOP as incubators of liberal protest and mores that the MAGA movement seeks to eradicate.

The philosophy was summed up by now-Vice President JD Vance, a graduate of Yale Law School who was at the time a Senate candidate, at a National Conservatism conference in 2021. Vance advocated a campaign against “very hostile institutions” and added: “If any of us want to do the things we want to do for our country and the people who live in it – we have to honestly and aggressively attack the universities in this country.”

Such talk concerns historians familiar with the strategy of totalitarian leaders overseas, who target universities and other institutions, such as the press, as part of a broader assault against free speech.

One of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s earliest acts in his 25-year rule was to drive Western-oriented and liberal democratic influences out of Russian universities as he suppressed academic freedoms. And one of the heroes of Trump’s MAGA operatives is Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who has long battered liberal institutions like universities. This is part of a playbook that also foreshadowed Trump’s aggressive attempts to co-opt big business and to push executive power to the limit – and sometimes beyond constitutional limits.

It also sits well with his uneducated supporters, who have long felt that educated people treated them with disdain...

Um. They DID.

Do.

It continues with their schizo screaming to mandate electric cars one month, and cheering burning them the next.

If they had retained a bit of credibility, there might be more people defending them.

But remember - the Biden admin wanted to make non-college educated Americans pay for the failing student loans of college-educated Americans.

Looks like one of the universities caved to Trump, in order to get their delicious funding.

The funding was reinstated a few days later and, according to the USDA, UMS is in full compliance with Trump's executive order. The USDA said in the announcement, "After the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) initiated a Title IX compliance review regarding federal funding, the University of Maine System (UMaine) has clearly communicated its compliance with Title IX’s requirement to protect equal opportunities for women and girls to compete in safe and fair sports, as articulated in President Donald J. Trump’s Executive Order. Any false claim by the UMS can, and will, result in onerous and even potentially criminal financial liability."

I'm not well-versed in academic-ese...but it sounds like they did a 'kowtow'...

And they agreed that rules opposing their trans allies, are fine and agreeable, if the pay is good.

Well, the basket of deplorables fully earned our disdain.

Seems that the Uni is run by corrupt leaders eh?

Pay your own plane ticket or get El Salvador prison!

US President Donald Trump's administration has said it will revoke the temporary legal status of more than half a million migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.

Those migrants have been warned to leave the country before their permits and deportation shield are cancelled on 24 April, according to a notice posted by the federal government.

The 530,000 migrants were brought into the US under a Biden-era sponsorship process known as CHNV that was designed to open legal migration pathways. Trump suspended the programme once he took office.

Good heavens I do hope it doesn't corrupt the academics...

Corruption always required at least two parties - the curruptable and the corruptor.

Catherine Rampell of the Washington Post observed today that “the ‘Department of Government Efficiency’ [is making] the federal government almost comically inefficient.” She wrote that Internal Revenue Service employees line up at shared computers on Mondays to submit their “five things I did last week” emails to DOGE while taxpayer service calls go unanswered. Federal surveyors at the Bureau of Land Management are no longer allowed to buy replacement equipment, so when a shovel breaks they can’t simply replace it; they have to locate a manager authorized to file an official procurement form and order one. Many have had to ignore their actual jobs in order to scrub words from official documents.

After interviewing frustrated civil servants for weeks, Rampell said, she has learned that “routine tasks take longer to complete, grinding down worker productivity,” while DOGE bogs workers down with “meaningless busywork, which sets them up to be punished for neglecting their actual duties.”

“All this talk of warfighter ethos, and our ‘priority’ is making sure there are no three-year-old tweets with the word ‘diversity’ in them,” one Pentagon staffer told Rampell. “Crazy town.”

We're sure to solve the housing problem soon:

The week-to-week framing lumber composite price increased 0.4% on March 14, 2025, rising to $485 per 1,000 board feet. Amid swelling uncertainty about tariffs, the price of softwood lumber was the highest since June 2023. Lumber prices are currently 14.9% higher than they were one year ago.
