Could The Trump Admin’s New Grant Program Disrupt Higher Education?

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal grant program tailored towards the trades being adopted across the United States may help reshape higher education as millions of Americans go back to school.

North Carolina became the fifth state to be approved by the U.S. Department of Education (ED) for Workforce Pell (WFP) grants Friday, paving the way for more Americans to receive federal funds for pursuing career and technical education (CTE), according to a press release.

WFP’s implementation, which began July 1, 2026, under the Working Families Tax Cuts Act signed July 4, 2026, by President Donald Trump, comes after around 60% of American adults aged between 18-28 surveyed by ResumeTemplates.com in October 2025 reported they have considered pivoting towards the trades as opposed to traditional higher education.

“Workforce Pell is finally a reality after decades of debate—opening new doors for students across the nation,” ED spokesperson Ellen Keast told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “This landmark student aid program is designed to move beyond the outdated college‑for‑all model and expand access to in-demand, workforce‑focused credentials that can be completed quickly and at lower cost.”

Some of the covered CTE programs could help individuals attain employment in as quickly as eight weeks, according to a May press release by ED. (Read more from “Could The Trump Admin’s New Grant Program Disrupt Higher Education?” HERE)

Noah’s Ark’s Resting Place ‘100% Confirmed’? New Scans Detect Possible Tunnels Underground

/2 Comments/in , , /by

By Hindustan Times. The mystery surrounding a boat-shaped formation in Turkey, which some researchers believe could be the remains of Noah’s Ark, has taken a new turn after fresh underground scans reportedly detected possible tunnels, chambers and multiple structural layers.

The findings come from an international team investigating the Durupınar Formation near Mount Ararat. The Daily Mail, which reported the findings exclusively, said researchers now claim they have “100 percent confirmed” that the formation is a “man-made object”.

However, the findings have not established that the site is the biblical Ark. Researchers say the radar readings and material recovered through drilling require further physical and scientific testing.

According to the Bible, Noah’s Ark saved humanity and every kind of animal from a catastrophic flood. Some biblical chronologies place the flood more than 4,300 years ago.

The latest radar surveys reportedly detected structural layers, straight lines, right-angle intersections and large cavity-like spaces at different depths. (Read more from “Noah’s Ark’s Resting Place ‘100% Confirmed’? New Scans Detect Possible Tunnels Underground” HERE)

Noah’s Ark Hunters Share Video Update From Inside Mysterious Structure

By Newsweek. A team searching for the remains of Noah’s Ark shared a video from inside a 515-foot boat-shaped formation in Turkey that they believe could contain the biblical ship’s remains. On X, the team referred to the video as the first look at “footage from inside Noah’s Ark.”

The international group of archaeologists, geologists and soil scientists announced on Wednesday that they had started collecting core samples from the Durupınar Formation, which has attracted people hoping to find Noah’s Ark since its outline was identified in 1959.

Preliminary radar data do not show “a simple homogeneous solid-rock signature,” said Andrew Jones, founder of Noah’s Ark Scans. His U.S.-based group is working with Bakhtar Research and Engineering LLC, whose scientist, Dr. Khosrow Bakhtar, led the radar survey. The wider investigation is directed by archaeologist Cenker Atila of Sivas Cumhuriyet University.

Noah’s Ark Scans later posted footage from its Gopher drone, an “underground robot built to go where a person cannot” equipped with a high-resolution camera. (Read more from “Noah’s Ark Hunters Share Video Update From Inside Mysterious Structure” HERE)

New Report: Utah Valley University Tried to Warn Charlie Kirk’s Staff of Risks, but Team Ignored Concerns

/0 Comments/in , /by

Utah Valley University leaders and its police chief repeatedly tried to raise security concerns ahead of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk’s scheduled appearance on campus last year.

But, according to a much-anticipated independent review released Friday, Kirk’s team brushed those warnings off.

The report says school staff suggested a few weeks before the Sept. 10, 2025, event that Turning Point USA should move it to a more secure location. The organization, though, insisted on having it in the open campus courtyard.

UVU also requested an estimated attendee count, but Turning Point USA, which contended that it would control ticketing for the event, never provided that number, the report states.

Shortly before the event, the university’s police chief, Jeff Long, personally texted Kirk’s private security adviser to meet about final safety measures. That meeting, according to the review, “did not occur.” (Read more from “New report: Utah Valley University Tried to Warn Charlie Kirk’s Staff of Risks, but Team Ignored Concerns” HERE)

Tim Tebow ‘Pausing’ Relationship with Christian Group after Bombshell Expose

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Tim Tebow said he’s “pausing” his relationship with Life Surge after scam allegations emerged earlier this week.

The faith-based conference company was accused of using predatory sales tactics to push attendees into expensive financial and investment programs, according to a joint investigation by “Pablo Torre Finds Out” and Mother Jones.

Tebow, 39, said he was “caught off guard” by the report when speaking to the Gainesville Sun on Friday.

“I think the allegations are extremely, extremely serious, and it’s something that we take very seriously,” Tebow said. “We’re having our team do an investigation, but also pausing our relationship so we can learn more about the facts to be able to understand more.”

When asked whether he knew about the questionable practices before the report came out, Tebow didn’t offer much clarity. (Read more from “Tim Tebow ‘Pausing’ Relationship with Christian Group after Bombshell Expose” HERE)

‘Absolute Hate’ Farm Attack Victim Recounts Experience With Anti-White Ravagers

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A South African woman and her husband were attacked in a hate-fueled home invasion; she spoke exclusively to the Daily Caller about the harrowing experience and the steps the Trump administration is taking to end the violence.

The Afrikaner, Amanda Platt, shared her story with the Daily Caller Thursday, claiming that her attackers were granted “permission” by her government through the incitement of violence towards the country’s white minority.

In August 2023, Amanda and her husband, Tim, were asleep when several men broke into their home. Amanda immediately knew that if the attackers succeeded in capturing her, she could be tortured for hours, maybe days, before being left for dead on the land where her ancestors have lived since the 1600s.

“So you either got to be brave or die at the hands of these brutal, you know, be brutally murdered. That’s just what it is,” Amanda told the Caller Thursday, “and for us it’s like normal.”

Amanda and Tim fought to defend their home for an hour before they were finally overwhelmed as the first intruder made it through the door, crowbar in hand.

Dem Governor Moves To Oust Hand-Picked No. 2 Amid Sexual Harassment Allegations

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill called on her running mate, Lt. Governor Dale Caldwell, to resign over an investigation into allegations of sexual harassment.

“The investigation found that the Lieutenant Governor engaged in serious, repeated violations of state policy and failed to uphold the responsibilities of his office,” Sherrill said Thursday. “The substantiated finding of sexual harassment is extremely troubling,” she added.

The report accused Caldwell of flirting with a staffer’s much younger female friend at an official event. When the staffer told him the friend was not interested, Caldwell allegedly complained, “You young women are looking for young sperm.”

He also allegedly tried to get a romantic partner a promotion, brought uninvited guests to ticketed events without proper reimbursement, and asked his own aides to find him a “first lady.”

Democratic New Jersey Sens. Cory Booker and Andy Kim joined Sherrill in calling for his resignation. (Read more from “Dem Governor Moves To Oust Hand-Picked No. 2 Amid Sexual Harassment Allegations” HERE)

Inflation Fears Surge As Economic Expectations Plunge

/0 Comments/in , /by

Americans grew more pessimistic about the economy in September as inflation expectations surged and consumers braced for higher fuel prices and renewed trade tensions, according to data released Friday.

The University of Michigan’s Index of Consumer Sentiment fell to 48.1 in September, down 7% from August and 12.7% from a year earlier, according to the university’s final September survey. The deterioration was concentrated in consumers’ outlook for the future, with the Index of Consumer Expectations plunging 10.1% in a single month to 46.3, while views of current economic conditions slipped just 1.9%.

Inflation fears also accelerated sharply. Consumers expected prices to rise 4.6% over the next year, up from 4.0% in August and the highest reading since June. The reading was also well above the 3.4% recorded in February before the Iran conflict began.

Inflation expectations can influence future inflation. Businesses and workers can respond to expectations of higher prices by adjusting prices and wages, potentially reinforcing inflation, according to the Federal Reserve.

The Fed closely watches whether inflation expectations remain anchored for that reason. Expectations that become persistently elevated can contribute to a self-reinforcing cycle in which anticipation of higher inflation affects economic behavior and helps push actual inflation higher.

Bill Gates Warns AI Could Cause ‘A Billion Deaths’ Without Government Control

/0 Comments/in , /by

Bill Gates, the tech evangelist and leftist billionaire who has suddenly changed his tune to focus on the dangers of AI, told NBC’s Meet the Press that artificial intelligence could kill on a scale never before possible.

NBC released excerpts Friday of Gates’s interview with Kristen Welker, set to air Sunday. In it, the Microsoft co-founder said, “AI is certainly powerful enough to drive events that, you know, cause a billion deaths.”

Gates went further, describing the danger of AI falling into the wrong hands. “Even though it’s pretty hard to get to 100%, there’s never been a weapon as powerful as the combination of people with ill intent using the latest AI tools,” he told Welker.

SCOTUS Rules 6-3 to Permit Trump’s Streamlined Voter Verification System Ahead of Midterms

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) ruled 6-3 on Friday to permit implementation of President Donald Trump’s U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ (USCIS) streamlined Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program ahead of this year’s midterm elections.

Last year, USCIS Director Joseph Edlow announced upgrades to the SAVE program, which allows states to verify that only American citizens are voting in federal elections. Multiple left-wing organizations sued to stop the updates to the SAVE program, and a lower court blocked its implementation.

SCOTUS granted the Trump administration’s request to stay the lower court’s decision.

“Under the modified SAVE program, a state or local agency seeking to determine an individual’s citizenship status first uploads the individual’s first name, last name, date of birth, or full or partial SSN to the SAVE portal,” the majority writes:

The SAVE program automatically discloses that information to SSA, which runs it through its databases to find a match. SSA then discloses its search results to DHS, including the individual’s full name, date of birth, full SSN, and citizenship status. Finally, the SAVE portal returns a response to the agency, either confirming that the individual is a citizen or requesting that the agency resubmit its query with additional information. If the modified SAVE program is unable to confirm that an individual is a citizen, the agency is required to contact the individual and request that he provide proof of citizenship to register or remain registered to vote.
