Congress’s Budget Proposal to Slash Student Aid

By Allen Kors

The recent Republican budget proposal to slash student aid by $150 billion represents an egregious elimination of vital support for our higher education system.  The United States faces $1.3 trillion in outstanding student debt, a three-fold increase in tuition cost over the past 30 years, and an increasingly competitive labor market for college graduates.  These variables have created an environment in which a college education is increasingly necessary in order to achieve the "American Dream," though a college education is becoming less accessible than ever before. We cannot sit back and allow this to happen.  These programs are integral to the success of our nation.  Education is a portal to achievement and fundamental to our people’s evolution.  We must put an end to these proposals and unite in support, not abandonment, of our nation’s students.

The Presidential Race Starts with Cruz Announcement

By Dr. Gerard Lameiro

Yesterday Sen. Ted Cruz officially launched his presidential campaign bid at Liberty University in Virginia.  Calling himself a "courageous conservative," he offered a conservative agenda that includes the complete repeal of Obamacare and the elimination of both Common Core and the IRS.  Also included were a flat tax economic policy, pro-life and pro-traditional marriage policies, as well as strong support for Israel and a tough stance against terrorism.  Sen. Cruz also advocated closing our borders to illegal immigration and voiced strong support for the First Amendment and religious freedom, as well the Second Amendment and the right to keep and bear arms for all law-abiding citizens. But what will he actually do? [more...]

Should Voting Be Mandatory?

By Lowell Ponte

"It would be transformative if everybody voted," as Australians are required to do, President Barack Obama told an audience in Cleveland on March 18. Mr. Obama suggested that mandatory American voting "would counteract [campaign] money more than anything. If everybody voted, then it would completely change the political map in this country." Obama's idea - in effect, a reverse poll tax on non-voters - has cooled as scholars noted that we do not have a national election in America. We have 50 state elections, and a constitutional amendment would need approval of three-fourths of those states to make nationwide voting compulsory. Even so, with the 2016 presidential run beginning, we can learn much from considering President Obama's trial balloon... and from Australia. [more...]

The Future of Entertainment - Augmented Reality

By James Hirsen

Entertainment's future has arrived, and it has come in the form of a developing technology known as augmented reality. Most are already familiar with virtual reality in which technology is utilized to enable a simulated world to supplant the real one. Virtual reality immerses an individual into a complete digital environment without said person having any cognizance of the world that is surrounding him or her. Currently, the most recognized virtual reality devices are headsets made by Facebook's Oculus Rift or Sony's Morpheus. In augmented reality, the physical world is actually added on to through the addition of computer-generated imagery, sound, video, and other sensory stimulus. The result is an overlay of information and digital objects, which creates both an enhancement of the perception of reality and an environment that is interactive. [more...]

Israelis Don't Trust Obama

By Joe Messina

So... Democrats didn't want to get involved with Netanyahu because it was too close to the elections in his country? As if shaking hands with our president would have assured him a win. Although if Obama’s campaign operatives were smart they might have made it happen considering a recent CNN poll showing that the majority of Israelis don’t trust Mr. Obama. Apparently, it’s okay to send the same campaign team that ran and is still involved in the daily social media messaging for the Obama team over to Israel to try to influence an election using the same tactics they use here - you know: bussing in voters, robo-calls twisting the facts (lying) about Netanyahu. They were involved! This administration can’t seem to get the game right. We are the laughingstock of the Middle East. Not ONE leader trusts Obama, therefore they can’t trust the U.S. [more...]

Obama's Disregard for the Constitution

By Dave Bego

It is apparent that people like the President and organizations like the SEIU understand that there is a large percentage of the population that is naive and easily misled and their collective efforts are to brainwash these people to their thinking, and to use them in their attempt to ensure the decline of American exceptionalism, its free enterprise system, and to replace it with socialism / totalitarianism. All Americans need to wake up now and understand before it is too late that the problem with America is the President's total disregard for the Constitution. We are at war and it is worth the time Identifying The Devil at Our Doorstep who is intent on The Taking of American Freedoms. [more...]
