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. [Sign the petition here...]
The
Presidential Race Starts with Cruz Announcement
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...]
