Limestone College is located in Gaffney, South Carolina and has 1,600 students. This small, private, liberal arts college offers 42 different undergraduate degrees. As of today, the college is $30 million in debt and scheduled to close in June. Who loaned $$$’s to this school? And yet, the college supports 23 sports teams (20 head coaches) including 13 women’s teams. So-offer sport scholarships and neglect other financial matters. Too bad.

Charlotte NC has a MS-13 problem. This week 2 members of this vicious gang were sentenced to 35 years in prison for the murder a Wilson Edgardo Gutierrez Mejia. He was shot in the head outside a Charlotte nightclub. While lying on the ground, Mejia was shot 3 more times. It was reported that the killing helped get the two shooters a “promotion” in the MS 13 gang. The shooters were from El Salvador and Guatemala. A third MS 13 member was sentenced to 17 years for the kidnapping of a 17-year-old girl.

The US now has 900+ cases of measles according to the CDC. Thus far, about30 states have reported the outbreak but the most active cases are centered in Texas and New Mexico. The vast number of these cases involve foreign-born people. Illegal immigrants.

Nikola Motor Company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The company tried to make EV trucks. Their problems were varied and significant, including the payment of $125 million to settle federal charges of defrauding investors. The founder, and CEO, Trevor Milton was charged with securities and wire fraud. During this same period, the Biden administration granted Nikola $2 million as part of the “new green deal.”

Several new research studies have reported why housing prices and rents have risen so dramatically in the US. The conclusion is migration, especially in the major US cities. Same with homelessness. Major cities like NYC, Denver, Chicago attribute 80+ percent of the rise in homelessness to “asylum seekers.” And-the studies show that illegal immigrants do not “pay their way.” Arguments for low-skilled migrants built around supposed labor shortages are also false. Migrants without college degrees are a financial drain to the economies. These studies included the US, Britan, Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands. lastly, Goldman Sachs (bank) reported that Australia’s net migrant flow of 500,00 people raises rents by 5% annually.

Two new museums are planned for the Smithsonian Institution in DC. One for women and the other for Hispanics. Really? Why can’t we have a national museum celebrating all people. Why do these groups get their own building at taxpayer expense? However, the funding and construction has been delayed due to disagreements regarding content. The federal government wants the museums to show shared American values, not those that separate Americans into racial and/or gender groups. Some exhibits that celebrate the exploits of men in women’s sports are being planned. Sadly, is that really what the US citizens want in the Smithsonian???
