They write, "That 0.4% is an investment in the soul of Penn State and the heart of our land-grant mission to bring access to the university to people across the commonwealth. That 0.4% seems like a small price to pay for our soul." I guess that unless soul is a freebie, Old Main isn't interested.

Penn State's constant insistence that it is pennies away from absolute destitution is absurd. That the answer to any financial shortfall should be to slash and burn Commonwealth Campuses which are the oft overlooked hubs of learning meant to reach as many Pennsylvanians as possible, is shameful.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

When I watched Trump and Vance going after Zelinskyy, I saw abuse. This is how parents emotionally and psychologically abuse children. They attempt to humiliate and shame, take away their child's voice, and withhold anything approximating respect and empathy.

Yet one more opportunity to thank all of the voters who "just weren't sure Harris has what it takes" for voting for a bullying ogre and his spiteful, bratty sidekick. No question she and Walz would be the epitome of class and generosity.
