The Middle Eastern nation of Qatar is the largest foreign funder of American colleges and universities, according to new data from the Department of Education. Qatar has gifted or entered into contracts with U.S. universities that total nearly $6.6 billion over several decades, according to the data released by the Department of Education at the end of 2025. The law requires American colleges and universities to report foreign gifts and contracts valued annually at $250,000 or more. Over 190 countries have entered into contracts with, or sent financial gifts to, 527 U.S. institutes of higher education, but Qatar outpaces them all.

Foreigners have taken over our universities. Half the students are foreign. Taxpayer funding is mandatory, while university administration caters to foreign contributions, which are voluntary, and tied to foreign interests.

Colleges and universities are raking in the cash. Government hands out loans like Halloween candy. Endless supply of foreign students. No wonder the price of tuition is through the roof.

There were more officers from A & M serving in Viet Nam, Excellent Quality Heroic Officers, than West Point... I'm very concerned about the quality of Officers that are coming from A & M at this point! There is no limit to the destructive nature of Islamic funding! The "Holy Book" of Islam calls for the annihilation of all other religions and non-believers and calls for the Rape, Beheading, Enslaving, etc. of those refusing conversion. There will never be peace on this earth until such time that Islam is entirely eradicated. PROVE ME WRONG!

FTA: 'The law requires American colleges and universities to report foreign gifts and contracts valued annually at $250,000 or more.' Why not $5,000 or more? Are Senators and Representatives allowed to hide monetary gifts so long as they are less than a quarter of a million? Such 'gifts' amount to bribery, and subordination. Top universities shape our Nation nearly as much as Congress does! But in far darker, less visible, and more destructive ways.

There's nothing new here, except that it's bolder and more out in the open, however, it's been happening since the 1970's. Whenever a "Saudi prince" (they have so many), or a King's spawn, even when one of the many Princesses would opt (or, be told, as the case may be) to attend a major "western university," whether it be in London (think Oxford), or the U.S. (think Harvard), then it would take little to no time before the "Oil-Monied Mohammedans" would be sending a "small delegation" to the host school in hopes of discussing their funding of a Chair, Scholarship, or other long-term gratuity to ingratiate themselves with the institution's "money-men." It goes without saying that most of the "pampered princes," sent to matriculate, are rarely seen on campus, and almost never seen in a Classroom, or Lab, except for a national propaganda photo-op, yet they almost always seem to walk away with a degree in hand, even advanced ones (Masters/PhD) from whichever institution they'd been sent. The beginning was innocent enough corruption, and it was only a matter of time before the money being slipped over the table, and beneath, would advance from being merely "lubricant" to ease VIP offspring along the "academic track," into more of a, "We pay you, so you do as we 'suggest,'" type of arrangement. If a Professor is teaching negatively about their country, or its leader, fire him. If someone is speaking out against their form of government, warn him/her to shut up. If Christian groups are becoming too vocal regarding Islamic atrocities/discrimination/civil rights reform, shut them down. And to all these things the "Businessmen" running our colleges and universities have capitulated to Mohammedan demands, fearing loss of their revenue stream. Then it advanced to becoming un-Constitutional, un-American, evil corruption. It's truly despicable that our "Institutions of Higher Learning" have descended into being nothing more than ivy-encrusted whorehouses of the almighty dollar.

Virginia Democrat Introduces Bill to Create
$500 Suppressor Tax

Delegate Karen Keys-Gamarra (D) introduced legislation to create a $500 tax on suppressor sales in the state of Virginia. The bill, HB 207, “Imposes a firearm suppressor tax equal to $500 per retail sale of any firearm suppressor by a dealer in firearms.” Keys-Gamarra’s bill directs monies from the tax to “be deposited in the general fund.” A long-standing $200 federal tax on suppressors was wiped out by President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill which took effect January 1, 2026. This means suppressor sales around the nation are now hundred of dollars lower than they were even one month ago. But HB 207 will force Virginians to ante up $500, on top

Federal agents swarmed the home of the ICE officer who fatally shot a woman in Minneapolis this week, removing belongings as the house sits empty and the agent’s family reportedly goes into hiding. A Special Response Team arrived at Jonathan Ross’s suburban Minneapolis home Friday morning, according to the Daily Mail. Officers wearing masks and balaclavas carried out plastic crates, a computer tower and picture frames before forming a defensive formation around a vehicle that left the garage. A neighbor told the outlet she saw Ross’s wife pacing in the driveway Wednesday afternoon, hours after the shooting. The house has been empty since then.
