Land of 10,000 Takes

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. It appears Leader John Thune and other Senate Republicans are moving to KILL President Trump's anti-weaponization fund — which would rectify the persecution under Biden's DOJ Now Thune sent senators home until June, MISSING Trump's deadline for reconciliation. WE ARE BEING BETRAYED! "Is it starting to make sense? Is this the REVENGE TOUR against Trump? All the people that were primaried out of office, they blame Trump? 'Maybe we'll cause some trouble.' You gotta be kidding me!" After a meeting, Thune decided to just send everyone home after concerns were voiced to Trump's $1.8B fund. "[GOP senators say] taxpayer dollars are going to compensate somebody who assaulted a police officer." "HOLD ON, WHAT IF IT DOESN'T? Maybe it would be scrutinized a little more. Maybe there would be people there who would look at that money seriously and say, let's just double and triple check on who the individuals are that are going to be paid." "Unless, of course, you're somebody who's trying to side with those that are big on, 'every single solitary person was guilty on January 6, that was there at the Capitol doesn't make a difference! Every human being is guilty, full stop, doesn't deserve a single thing!'" "Except when you start to explore it, you're like, wait, are you sure about EVERYBODY?"

I beg your finest of Commie pardons

“Massie just wanted single issue bills” You know what would never pass the Senate in his entire 14 years as a congressman?

Congratulations to US Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein for defeating anti-Israel incumbent Thomas Massie! Pro-Israel Americans are proud to back candidates who support a strong 🇺🇸🇮🇱 alliance and help defeat those who work to undermine it. Being pro-Israel is good policy and good politics!

BREAKING: It's official. The Trump DOJ just confirmed the creation of a $1.776 billion slush fund that can be used to pay Trump allies who claim they've been wrongfully targeted by the Biden admin's ‘weaponization' — including, reportedly, Jan. 6 insurrectionists.

*US 30-YEAR TREASURY YIELD RISES TO 5.177%, HIGHEST SINCE 2007

Universities had 17 years of warning. They responded by doing the opposite of what the math demanded. In 2008, American birth rates fell off a cliff. The Great Recession made people stop having kids. Those never-born children would be turning 18 right now. The number of U.S. high school graduates peaked at roughly 3.9 million in 2025. By 2029, that number drops 15%. By 2041, it drops by nearly half a million students per year. Every school in this tweet had access to the same Census data. They all saw the same curve. Administrative positions at U.S. colleges grew 60% between 1993 and 2009, ten times the rate of tenured faculty growth. Non-instructional spending (student services, administration) grew 29% from 2010 to 2018. Instructional spending grew 17%. Average tuition at public four-year schools went from $3,500 in 2000 to $10,560 in 2023. Yale now has more administrators than undergraduate students. 5,460 administrators for fewer than 5,000 undergrads. They built the cost structure of a growth company on top of a customer base that was mathematically guaranteed to shrink. The split in this data tells you everything. Clemson, Syracuse, Duke, UNC, and Indiana are all cutting because the model broke. Alabama, Ole Miss, and the University of Florida are turning away more applicants than ever. Harvard gets five applications for every spot. The middle is where the cliff hits. Elite schools absorb demand. Everyone between elite and community college fights over a shrinking pool. The Fed published a study in December 2024 predicting 80 colleges will close in the next five years. Since 2016, over 100 already have. In 2024 alone, 28 shut down. One per week. These program cuts and layoffs are a decade late. The birth rate data was sitting in Census spreadsheets the entire time. Everyone in higher education administration saw the enrollment cliff coming. They hired more administrators anyway.

JUST IN - Trump says that after UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar asked him, he has agreed to hold off on the "planned Military attack" of Iran, "which was scheduled for tomorrow," as "serious negotiations are now taking place," and that he expects a deal to be made.
