Michigan State Professor Forces Undergrads to Fund Leftist Groups https://www.nationalreview.com/2023/06/michigan-state-professor-forces-undergrads-to-fund-leftist-groups/ The lawsuit notes, however, that Wisner personally controlled the group and was using the substantial funds she extracted — nearly $60,000 — to engage in political speech and donate to advocacy groups that directly conflict with the rliegious beliefs of Barbieri and Radomski. For example, in a Facebook post, Wisner linked to a Facebook page associated with “The Rebellion Community” and wrote, “The Rebellion community is a safe place to coordinate our efforts to burn everything to the f***ing ground.” Wisner’s post also said, “100% of membership fees are donated to Planned Parenthood,” though elsewhere she stated that “Proceeds of The Rebellion Community membership fees are donated to organizations fighting systemic oppression.” Students pursuing a college degree shouldn’t have to wonder whether they are being defrauded into supporting political causes. By authorizing professors to force students to support speech antithetical to their deepest values and faith, Michigan State officials have violated the First Amendment and federal civil-rights laws. Many American universities have abandoned the once widely accepted notion that higher education is the pursuit of knowledge and that civil discourse is pivotal to a free society, but this case highlights a disturbing new development. At Michigan State, the cultural decline in academia has reached new depths, moving beyond indoctrination to coerced activism. And the yawns from our nation’s media are just as telling. Sinister behavior, and the MSM says nothing. Telling, isn't it?

Uggh, faux football. Either play the real game or don't play it all, ala Rossville, just about 10 miles down SR26 from Faith Christian.

Never. 96-0. Never forget. This travesty was the impetus for LCC getting the boot out of the HHC in the first place. And memories are long.

Caveat Emptor. If a business, small or large, continues to produce an inferior product, like one that gives a customer food poisoning, it will soon go out of business. The free and open market in action.

Most p/p zealots will call bullcrap on the controlled enrollments, claiming that all these institutions are so hard up for money they'll take any student with a pulse and a tuition check that doesn't bounce.

The Bulldog faithful call this the "power of the green tie (and giant shoulder pads)". Nowadays CC is lucky it can field a team. 96-0. Never forget.

https://mises.org/wire/three-lies-theyre-telling-you-about-debt-ceiling So, the next Time Joe Biden or Janet Yellen go on television to insist the US has never defaulted, know that you are being lied to. Three: Default Is the End of the World Any talk of default is sure to bring predictions of economic devastation. Those who have lived through a financial crisis or two will know how this works. As soon as signs of trouble in the economy appear, the regime lines up "experts" to tell us that unless the government is empowered to spend endlessly on bailouts and "stimulus," then the economy will collapse, unemployment will surge, and hell on earth will ensue. The taxpayers certainly heard this repeatedly in 2008 and 2009 as the regime insisted it must be free to hand over trillions of dollars in bailout funds to wealthy bankers and auto makers and financiers. We were told that the central bank must be able to print up trillions of dollars so as to buy up government bonds and mortgage-backed securities to pad the balance sheets of the investor class. We were told this would "fix" the economy. Naturally, when the recession turned out to be the worst since 1982, the "experts" then said—without any evidence whatsoever—things "would have been worse" without all their bailouts. We're hearing the same thing now about possible default on the $32-trillion national debt. "Give us new debt ceiling increases with no strings attached" appears to be the constant refrain. Without this carte blanche, we are told, there will be economic catastrophe. But it is all the same scare tactics the regime trots out every time it wants a new series of bailouts or immense amount of new spending. Trump hysterically said the same thing when he demanded passage of his $2.2 trillion covid "rescue plan." We're told there is no alternative, and any opposition is "reckless." Rather, we must approve any and all new spending now and deal with the consequences later. But "later" never comes because the strategy is always to just kick the can further down the road. To not do so, the experts insist, will destroy the economy. Well, the time has come to start doubting this narrative and demand that the federal government start being more honest about its runaway and unpayable debt. And yes, today's massive federal debt is unpayable. It's not even manageable. For an example of how it is unmanageable, just look at how interest on the debt is gradually consuming all other federal spending. With interest rates rising, debt service is ballooning. According to an analysis from the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget: It's clear at this point that the only strategy the federal government the Federal Reserve have for dealing with this is to inflate away the dollar with easy money so as to bring interest rates back down and pay back the debt in devalued dollars. Paying back debts with devalued dollars is a type of default, but this method helps hide the fact. Make no mistake: when the US government chooses to manage its debts by inflating away the dollar, it is defaulting. A more honest and rational approach would be to explicitly default. Rather than trying to dishonestly inflate away the debt obligation, a less deceptive federal government would simply admit that it can only afford to pay back its debt at some reduced amount: say, 90 cents on the dollar, or less. Naturally, this would cause interest rates to surge as has occurred in the past when the US has defaulted. This, however, would simply be the process of bringing interest rates more into line with the real risks that go with investing in government debt. The current political status quo, however, is built around protecting investors—rather than the taxpayers who ultimately pay all the bills—from risk. This method of turning debt into inflation is attractive to governments and their Wall Street enablers because it shifts the burden of runaway spending to ordinary savers and consumers. They are the ones who pay the real price of de facto inflationary default through price inflation, unaffordable homes, stagflation, and falling real wages. When the experts who oppose any sort of explicit default insist that default would bring disaster, what they really mean is that it would bring disaster for their friends on Wall Street and in the government. The experts prefer the status quo which is a slow-motion inflationary disaster that's playing out in the household budgets of ordinary Americans. This is the America we have left for our children and grandchildren. We should all be ashamed and dismayed.
