Colleges Justify Tuition Hikes By Pointing
To Inflation
Posted By: Imright, 5/30/2022 3:24:13 PM
Many universities are increasing tuition for the upcoming school year while pointing to record-high price levels. Inflation reached 8.3% as of last month, remaining near elevated levels last seen 40 years ago. The high prices coincide with the United States economy shrinking at a 1.5% annualized rate in the first quarter of 2022 — representing the only quarter with negative growth since COVID-19 hit the United States. As a result, some economists are warning of stagflation — a reference to the sluggish economic growth and high inflation that characterized the late 1970s under President Jimmy Carter.

A shocking new poll puts Republican Christine Drazan just slightly ahead of Democrat Tina Kotek in the Oregon governor’s race.Conducted between May 25-27, the new poll from Nelson Research showed Drazan had 29.5 percent of support out of 516 likely voters,while Kotek had just 27.5 percent of support with a margin of error of 4.3 percent. Independent Betsy Johnson trails with just 19.4 percent of support. (Tweet) The poll did not explore the top reasons for Drazan’s support, though it might stem from the fact that Oregon had some of the strictest coronavirus policies in the nation, which Drazan has outright opposed.
In a new analysis for the Center for Immigration Studies, my colleague Karen Zeigler and I show that the total foreign-born or immigrant population reached 47 million in April 2022 — the highest number ever in American history, and an increase of 2 million in just the first 16 months of the Biden administration. These numbers are extraordinary, not only because they indicate that America has lost control of its borders, but also because they raise profound questions about how many people the country can successfully integrate.
A California task force has released a report calling for 'comprehensive reparations' for African American residents, that include free four-year college, payouts, and raising the minimum wage in predominantly black industries, such as agricultural. The more than 500-page document consists of 13 chapters and breaks down reparation suggestions for the eligible black community in California to compensate for the 'racial terror' they've endured. The task force voted in March to limit reparations to descendants of slaves, overruling reparations advocates who wanted to expand compensation to all black people in the US.
As inflation has been knocking the wind out of Democrats' midterm strategy, the Biden White House has turned to pop culture icons and TikTok influencers to drum up support among its key voter base - young people. And while strategists say that such forays into the world of celebrity -- like bringing K-pop group BTS to the White House -- often deliver a momentary boost, even young voters are not soon to forget that everyday goods are being priced out of their budget. Biden, a self-professed K-Pop fan, invited the global supergroup to the White House Tuesday to talk about combatting Asian hate crimes.

Rand Paul draws surprising USA Today fact check 11 replies
Former Democratic Kentucky state Rep. Charles Booker appeared to be pinning his hopes to defeat incumbent Sen. Rand Paul (R) in the November election on race-baiting in a new campaign ad so misleading USA Today fact-checked it.Posted to his social media accounts Wednesday, the new ad from Booker’s campaign begins with a content warning due to its “strong imagery.”It then opens on a noose dangling from a tree and then in front of the U.S. Capitol before later appearing wrapped around the politician’s neck as he proclaims, “The pain of our past persists to this day.”“In Kentucky, like many states throughout the South, lynching was a tool of terror.
Kathleen Buhle said she finally has "total control over my life" five years after her 24-year marriage with President Joe Biden’s son Hunter ended.The ex-wife of the man, who is now at the center of an investigation surrounding his laptop, said her marriage was one rocked by addiction, infidelity, and shame, according to excerpts from her book If We Break published Wednesday by People."My greatest shame was feeling like my identity was not my own," Buhle, 53, said, according to the interview. "It was in writing this book that I realized probably the heaviest weight was that I first had to forgive myself for not believing in myself."

Vice President of the United States Kamala Harris on Wednesday addressed the country on the purportedly dire threat posed by climate change. In the middle of her speech, she couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Wednesday struggled to answer simple questions on inflation. “When are you guys going to admit that you were wrong about inflation?” Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked Jean-Pierre after peppering her with questions about the baby formula shortage.
“No easy questions today, huh?” Jean-Pierre shot back. “The Treasury Secretary said that she was wrong, so why isn’t anybody here at the White House–” Doocy said.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday told a gun control rally that Democrats will plan to push legislation banning 'assault weapons,' in what would be the most aggressive response so far to last week's elementary school massacre that killed 19 children.Republicans have signaled their opposition to restricting the general availability of guns - and some opponents say there is no workable definition for 'assault rifles.'But with the nation once again wondering why America must suffer so many mass shootings, politicians on both sides are under pressure to act.Speaking at an anti-gun violence event in her home town of San Francisco, Pelosi reeled off a long list of actions.

Last year, the United Methodist Church accepted Isaac Simmons, who regularly preaches dressed as a drag queen under the name Ms. Penny Cost, as a candidate for ordination. Since that time, Simmons, who serves as an associate pastor at Hope United Methodist Church in Bloomington, Illinois, has challenged basic theological concepts, projecting a worldview where divinity rests not in God but in queerness. In a church preparing to split over LGBTQ issues, the drag queen pastor, who embraces queer theology while barely attempting to plaster on the basic tenets of Christian theology, has become a lightning rod. Conservatives argue that Simmons’ role as a celebrated figure
Yellowstone National Park, Wyo. — A bison gored a 25-year-old woman in Yellowstone National Park. The bison was walking near a boardwalk at Black Sand Basin, just north of Old Faithful, when the woman approached it on Monday, according to a park statement. She got within 10 feet before the animal gored her and tossed her 10 feet in the air. The woman, from Grove City, Ohio, sustained a puncture wound and other injuries. Park emergency medical providers responded and transported her via ambulance to a hospital in Idaho. Park officials say it's the first reported bison goring this year.
Those flying throughout the United States may soon have to put their masks back on, as the Department of Justice has filed an appeal of an April decision that ended the unpopular mask mandate on planes and public transit. The Centers for Disease Control had first implemented the mandate in February 2021 amid rising COVID cases, but as the number of cases started to drastically decline the mandate became unpopular among both passengers and crew members.
In fact, during a Senate hearing about the financial support airlines received in 2020 and 2021, American Airlines CEO Doug Parker and Southwest CEO Gary Kelly spoke out against the mandate.

During a campaign event on May 21, Texas Democrat gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke expressed his belief that Americans who own AR-15s should not be able to keep them. On May 31, FOX News highlighted the comments as part O’Rourke’s ongoing effort against the guns. In the comments, O’Rourke stressed his position that no one should be able “to purchase an AR-15 or AK-47,” and added, “I don’t think that the people who have them right now in civilian use should be able to keep them.”
The U.S. Marine Corps went full woke on Wednesday, marking the first day of “Pride Month” with a celebratory image featuring rainbow bullets.“Throughout June, the USMC [U.S. Marine Corps] takes #Pride in recognizing and honoring the contributions of our LGBTQ service members,” the U.S. Marine Corps said in a statement posted to social media.“We remain committed to fostering an environment free from discrimination, and defend the values of treating all equally, with dignity and respect,” it added, using the hashtags #PrideMonth and #USMC.

True The Vote’s Gregg Phillips announced a new report that is “ten times bigger than Mules” after he and Catherine Engelbrecht presented in-depth evidence of 2020 election ballot trafficking in Yuma and Maricopa Counties on Tuesday afternoon. (snip)
It’s a multinational deal and it involves billions of dollars. There’s irrefutable evidence. We’ve been involved in a major counterintelligence operation that’s very mature in this country involving federal agencies and us. (snip) it’s going to make everybody forget everything about the Mules and it’s going to bring into question everything we think we know about these elections, everything. I can say that with 100 percent certainty.
What Predisposes Jews to Vote for Democrats?
24 replies
Why are so many Jews Democrats? It has been hard to fathom why the Jews, thought by many to be so intelligent and overrepresented in science, medicine, literature, music, and sociology, would embrace Democrat ideology so as to plant the seeds of their own economic and cultural destruction. Jews are voting Democrat in numbers that far outpace Gentiles and people have been wondering why for a very long time. It makes no sense if Jews are as intelligent as they are reputed to be. Democrat ideology works against the best interest of Jews in America.Seventy-three percent of American Jews say they are liberals who support Democrat candidates. What is puzzling
Kentucky Democratic Senate nominee Charles Booker released a campaign ad on Wednesday showing him wearing a noose. The ad shows a noose hanging from a tree and historical images of a Black man being lynched and a flag hanging from a building that reads “A man was lynched yesterday.” Booker, who is Black, narrates, “The pain of our past persists to this day. In Kentucky, like many states throughout the South, lynching was a tool of terror. It was used to kill hopes for freedom.” “It was used to kill my ancestors,” says Booker, with a noose loosely tied around
