[Zincwarrior]

Get rid of the scholarship.

No way. The liberal elite have looked down on us for too long! Time to put all the college profs to work on the farm.

Dumb ass, that was done by Mao in China, and it set their nation back 20 years. And dumb asses that are willfully ignorant should be looked down on.

That's just what the liberal elite want you to think. Don't be fooled!

LOL.....Coming up zeros again.

Worker payouts have been outpacing inflation, with wages growing faster than inflation rates. From April 2024 to April 2025, wages increased by 4.1% while inflation stood at 2.3%, indicating an increase in purchasing power for workers1. Additionally, real wages rose by 3.9% over the same period, further supporting the trend of workers receiving higher pay than inflation6. This trend reflects a broader economic situation where wages have kept pace with inflation, benefiting workers financially

Todays numbers carried that further.....You people are losing so bad.

So we were right last year when we told you that wages were outpacing inflation?

I doubt wages have gone up this year. That's some fake ass news right there. They clearly are factoring in CEO pay.

And is Trump taking credit for this? many states and localities have raised their minimum wages, with some jurisdictions in California establishing higher minimum wages than the state's $16.50/hour.

(Reuters) -All members of the board that oversees the U.S. State Department's Fulbright Program, which facilitates international educational exchanges, have voted to resign over alleged political interference from President Donald Trump's administration, the board said on Wednesday.

The Trump administration had unlawfully "usurped the authority" of the board by denying awards to a "substantial number" of people who had already been selected for the 2025-2026 academic year through a yearlong, merit-based process, the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board said in a statement posted on the website Substack.

The department is also putting another 1,200 Fulbright recipients through an "unauthorized review process" that could lead to more rejections, according to the statement.

There are two reasons for trump's heavy hand on this worthwhile organization. First, he is continuing his efforts to dumb down Americans. Secondly, he wants to recreate America in the MAGA image. He is really not that smart and he is indignant of people that are. And perhaps another reason is the color or many of the board members. Take a look:

Maybe considers these members DEI appointees? Anyone of them can run laps around his mental acuity, or lack thereof.

Excellent. Makes it so much easier on everyone when they deport themselves.

 

[Rawley]

trump is trying to recreate America in his image...stupid and racist.

Nah, that would be the zuccini your cult put in the WH, 50 year history of braindead and straight up racism.

LOL

Biden brought in 10+ million third worlders, which you folks are fighting to keep here. Duh!

The result of bringing in those third worlders has resulted in Mexico claiming the entire southwest belongs to them.

There's nothing 'alleged' about it.

I am really beginning to feel the country is being lead by a man that has serious mental issues, but is being manipulated by some very evil people to enact their fascist agenda. I don't think trump's mental condition will allow him to finish his term.

I don't see why you think he has any mental issues beyond what he had nine years ago when we elected him. What's changed?
