Trump Signs Executive Order Re-Affirming That Colleges Must Defend the Right to Free Speech Or Lose Federal Grants; Also Demands Schools Provide a Report Card on Their Students' Ability to Repay College Debt
President Trump on Thursday signed an executive order to promote free speech on college campuses by threatening colleges with the loss of federal research funding if they do not protect those rights. "We’re here to take historic action to defend American students and American values," Trump said, surrounded by conservative student activists at the signing ceremony. "They’ve been under siege."This order does not really order schools to do more than they're already supposed to be doing -- but it is a shot across the bow that the law will be actually followed going forward, and noncompliant schools will be punished as the law provides, and that "compliance" may be interpreted more strictly than it has in the past. He also directed schools to start reporting on how their students repay -- or do not repay -- student loans accumulated at their schools. It's funny, the people the GOPe shills and their leftwing allies insist to me were "Honorable" lied to me constantly. Like when John McCain ran for reelection with a promise made in an ad to "Build the Dang Fence," then immediately opposed border fencing when he won, or when he ran for years on the promise to repeal ObamaCare, then sided with his Very Good Friends the Democrats when he had an opportunity to vote for repeal with a president who would sign that repeal into law. I have a theory on that: It's not lying if you're lying to people unworthy of honesty. Just like a knight didn't have to offer honorable combat to ruffians or commoners -- just other knights or those deemed to have "honor" (often a matter of bloodline and breeding), our politicians aren't really lying if they just lie to the Deplorables, who are deplorable. The Deplorables, wack-a-doos, and Hobbits need to be lied to to be steered into being tricked into passively accepting the GOPe/liberal line. And McCain knew that -- and he was courageous in his willingness, nay, eagerness to lie to Deplorables to inflict the globalist GOPe/liberal transnational progressive line on them. Meanwhile -- this liar Trump, huh? See, he's dishonorable because he keeps promises to those who are themselves dishonorable. McCain was a Noble Man because he lied to Deplorables who are not owed the truth; Trump is an Ignoble Monster because he keeps faith with the Deplorables who should be treated like animals, not human beings. Sort of Related: British police investigating journalist for the crime of "misgendering" (an Orwellian term meaning "correctly noting the gender of") a tranny.
"Under the guise of speech codes, safe spaces and trigger warnings, these universities have tried to restrict free thought, impose total conformity and shut down the voices of great young Americans like those here today," he said. A senior administration official said the order directs 12 grant-making agencies to use their authority in coordination with the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to ensure institutions that receive federal research or education grants promote free speech and free inquiry.
A journalist has been accused of a hate crime, after she misgendered a trans person on Twitter. Hate crimes have a maximum two-year prison sentence.

mccain became a Shit to me in 2000.
Remember: there was a time when mccain wasn't going to endorse Bush -- Fake News made a huge deal about it.
Again, in 2004, we all had to hope mccain would grace Bush with his endorsement -- and he kept us in suspense until nearly the last minute because he and Fake News were floating rumors mccain would be Kerry's veep.

You know, I was quite content to ignore John McCain once he died. But then the confirmation came out that he was the coup attempting jackhole we all knew he was and suddenly HOW DARE YOU note accurate statements about McCain.
If people are going to deify McCain, then I shall retort. And if Meghan McCain is going to go around squealing BUT MY DAAAADDDDYYY then it's only fair to point out what her charming piece of work Daddy did to her half siblings, now, isn't it?
Funny how I don't see Super Moral Arbiter of Moralness David French being disturbed in the slightest about McCain ditching the woman who stayed true to him while he was a POW and getting a freaking marriage license to marry the heiress he dumped her for before the divorce was even final.
If we are going to discuss McCain, let us discuss McCain.

Purdue is doing something like this. They call it an Income Sharing Agreement, where you agree to pay back the school for the costs they incur at X percent of your income post graduation.

FULL STORY: Home Office refused asylum to an Iranian who converted from Islam to Christianity because it said that Christianity was not a peaceful religion.
. . . .
Several British newspapers are reporting that an Iranian convert to Christianity was denied asylum by the U.K. Home Office because his religion was considered too violent, with the office citing passages from Revelations to prove its point.

No bank could ever afford to extend a student loan. It would cause an immediate and worldwide depression, even if only American loans were involved. And that's with adults co-signing.

This.
RIP, and all that, but if you're lobbying for McCain's apotheosis, then it's fair to weigh in on the man's virtues and flaws.
It's rather like the situation with family members. Teeing off on a guy's wife or children is naff, but if they weigh in on the political stage, they're fair game. 100%.

Morality David French being disturbed in the slightest about McCain ditching the woman who stayed true to him while he was a POW and getting a freaking marriage license to marry the heiress he dumped her for before the divorce was even final.
Bending over backwards to be fair, I wouldn't presume to judge someone in that circumstance. Five years in a POW camp getting beaten to a pulp could change a man, and therefore change the relationship he had with those whom he had known before.
I'm not really defending him - the whole thing does sound bad - but I can imagine getting repatriated and realizing that you'd evolved in different directions, and I make room for that possibility in McCain's case too.

Conversely, how many non-performing loans would it take to put lenders under water?
I'm guessing that at any reasonable interest rate, a 10% default rate would obliterate most if not all of the return to a lender.

"The focus of our military has shifted from victory to satisfying the whims of politicians. Here's a troubling thought - if you go to one of the service branches' War Colleges and poll the faculty and students about America's greatest strategic threat, as many as 50% of the respondents will tell you it is "climate change." That's not an exaggeration. Our military is supposed to be dealing with the Chinese military and its brain trust is obsessing about the weather in 100 years."

I am convinced to this day, although I obviously can't prove, that he threw the 2008 election the first week of October when it became apparent that he was going down in flames. I think he cut a deal with the Dems that in return for effective termination of his campaign they would go easy on him in his 2010 senate re-election campaign. And indeed he faced a no-name called Rodney Glassman in that contest and won going away.

Because a decade of declining interest rates, loose money, declining standards, and funny business will catch up with you eventually. The cracks were showing for well over a year before it blew up. If anything "triggered" it to happen then (I don't think it did - the market was on borrowed time from early/mid '07), it is the normal political tension associated with an election.
No one spiked McCain with the economy. McCain spiked himself by suspending his campaign, voting the outrageous TARP and TALF plans, and delivering his concession speech before the election.

No, there was literally an event, someone made a run on banks that day and things collapsed from that point on. It was a specific thing that took place, not just tensions that led to a gradual series of happenings.

Lehman Brothers was the trigger, but that sucker was going down anyway. Did the Fed and Treasury decide to let Lehman fall to screw McCain? I really doubt it. They were sharply divided on whether to save Bear Stearns the year earlier, and took a lot of heat for bailing out failures - as they should have. The blinked and let Lehman fall and set off the avalanche. I really do not think it was a political action. I doubt any of them even knew McCain would use it as an excuse to lose the election.

There was an Alfred Hitchcock on the other night. A chick is worried when a gangster is let out of prison because his brother was killed committing a robbery she talked him into. He tracks her down and she's all go ahead and kill me; I've got nothing to live for anyway. Gangster says no, no. My brother was a grownup but, hey, I need to launder some money. What say I set you up in business? So he finances her clothing business and it's a success and he strongarms this guy she likes into proposing to her. Then on the eve of her wedding he asks if she's happy and she says she's the happiest girl in the world! So he pulls out a gun and says this is for my brother! Bang!

However, we also have a friend who works for an marine science institute nearby, and last year we were able to put a couple of bags in his refrigeration unit there until the next day when we could shuck the rest and make large quantities of oyster stew.

I know a lot about this topic. Lehman was bleeding for days and there was a justified run on the bank - everyone was draining it, sometimes in huge quantities. The week before it went tits up, Lehman failed to acquire overnight financing in the repurchase market because the other banks (primarily BofA) looked at the collateral they were trying to swap and said, "this is all crap, what else you got?" Lehman answered "nothing" and all the institutional folks started taking their money out. This was possibly illegal and definitely unseemly because they acted on non-public information, but the dessicating husk of LEH started to collapse immediately following their repo failures.

In the category of "half-a**ed" border barrier work, military is helping add concertina wire to a section of existing fence (this is old fence, not new bollard-style fence) in the eastern San Diego sector. Range day today, spoke with a BP agent on the road leaving, he described the work. And the club got some left-over support poles of some sort the military said was surplus to them and they didn't want to haul back.
That something so common-sensical, obvious, and beyond argument like border barriers to help combat cross-border smuggling, human smuggling, other criminal activity, and illegal migration can be treated as something controversial, and actually openly opposed by a major political party, leaves me very doubtful the country can be turned around. It's been failing IQ and common sense tests for years, but this is sort of definitive.

If you read about him and look at it objectively, he comes across as quite a mixed bag.
He was a real asshole at Annapolis, and a legacy. His grandfather was one of the most respected flag officers in the Navy in WWII.
He crashed at least one A-4 during training.
He was lucky he wasn't killed in the famous deck fire on the Enterprise.
He was grievously wounded when he was shot down, and could have died in captivity. He also refused early release, because it was a propaganda move - by then his own father was an Admiral in the Navy.
When he came home, he dumped the wife that had been waiting for him, and married Cindy because she was a babe and her family was rich. That paved the way for him to start his political career.

Yes. If (anthropogenic) climate change were real, the strategic side of it is political, not military - unless you need a retrenchment to deal with new enemies or enemies with different motivations or allies becoming enemies due to predictable consequences. It could (and, if it were real, likely would) change the strategic *landscape* but it is not itself a strategic threat.

Big win! Two years ago 1,000 young Jews protested AIPAC's conference. Now Dems recognize that AIPAC and Bibi will never represent progressive values. So far:
@BernieSanders
@BetoORourke
@ewarren
@JulianCastro
@KamalaHarris
@PeteButtigieg

Before Trump, no one expected a President to honor his promises. All of them.
If this is now the expected norm, consider what the 'Rat candidates are promising.

VP more popular with the rank and file than the Prez, and the Prez with the GOPe pushing their crooked agenda, and the Dem/Media attacking both.

Shirley you don't think any GOPe member will follow PDT's lead and actually do what they say in the future, do you? They'll lie their asses off and laugh at us for believing them. There won't be anything we can do to them once they're elected and they know it.
They'll just go back to being the selfish assholes they've always been.

Disagree, it is an IQ problem, but a mixed bag one. The top Dem Supporters are very smart, and consequently very rich. Worse, they are greedy, evil, lack morals, and thus are willing to sweet talk their many supporters that are nowhere near as smart or rich into believing lies and getting elected over and over due to Dem voter inertia.

I did Community College for the first two years; knew which in-state Big Ten university I was going to; got all of the basic stuff done for free and lived (and worked) at home; and went to the the Big U and did work in-dorm (never moved out of dorm because why? Look at that cafeteria I was working at!) and finished with money in my bank. Of course this was back at the end of the 1980's, so it is likely much worse.

LeftCoast Dawg, I have had 3 people that I have never discussed politics
with tell me in the last week "Lock and Load". These were local
business people.
Posted by: Ben Had at March 21, 2019 09:13 PM (hGRZY)
That reminds me, I need more range time.
A couple of years ago, I had no problem talking politics with the most Leftie of Lefties. There are a lot of them around here.
The 2016 election changed things for the worse. It simply isn't worth my time to discuss, because the insanity has overtaken so many of them. One guy in particular, known him for over 25 years and saw him at least a half-dozen times every year. We, and others, would have discussions annually at a big weekend gathering at a friend's on the Pacific ocean. He and I would go on all night, seldom agreeing, but generally enjoying it.
Now, it is "HE LIES, HOW CAN YOU DEFEND HIM!!" and I have given up trying to talk at all about politics. I tried to talk about the Mueller/Fake Dossier/Coup attempt, and he won't let me finish a sentence.
I even prefaced by saying that every fact I was telling him was documented in a court hearing, Congressional testimony, or an interview that was available. HE LIES!!! was the continued response.
Sad, really.
Posted by: LeftCoast Dawg at March 21, 2019 09:56 PM (sy5kK)
He had a penchant for abandoning those to whom he had sworn allegiance, he didn't hesitate to stab in the back anyone that got in his way in his efforts to advance himself, he consistently inflated his life story to make himself look better, and he was particularly churlish with those who got on his wrong side.
These are not my opinions. They are provable facts as you will see."

I lost track of any details, but The Big Short says Morgan got the SP ratings to keep the ratings up on their bad leveraged housing positions so they could get out. Goldman same, was selling junk to their customers to save themselves. Lehman (afaik) was not the only one in trouble. AIG ... much of the banking system saved ... to become our overlords.
Everything became "financialized" ... 25-30% of GDP stock market capitalization ... went to 150% now ... People that "run money" own everything, AND get government protections.
The rich have undue influence on our government ... they "own" it.

He defended South Vietnam's borders but not America's.
His signature line; "I'm John McCain and I approved this message." His campaign finance law was meant to keep dirty money from buying secret smear campaigns--EXACTLY what the Dossier was.
And as a Viet vet, he knew how the CIA overthrew Diem. Yet he was helping Brennan overthrow an American election.
We all stood by him when he was running--including Donald Trump--but he didn't return the favor. He shit on his own legacy.

border security in the current context. THAT is the definitive flaw I
refer to." rhomboid ...
sure, but the attack has gone on 50 years, from Russia with no love. These are not low IQ people pushing the globalist crap ... many are right in the universities, even the sciences. They have been captured in a cult, and it is orchestrated by globalists, DNC, FBI ... those are the criminals pushing TheNarrative.
Red Pilling can turn things, Trump is sorta showing that. But the lies have been intertwined deeply. Some real prosecutions would help break the spell ... a handful of websites are trying to force the issue. I think it is more mass psychosis than low IQ. the Hysteria is manufactured.
