While Congress isn’t likely to take legislative action to safeguard free speech on college campuses as some have proposed, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle agreed Thursday that school administrators must tackle head-on what they described as an increasingly serious issue.

“I hope the United States Congress won’t do what it often does and believe we’ve suddenly become wise enough to tell 6,000 colleges and universities what to do,” Sen. Lamar Alexander, a Tennessee Republican and chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, said during a hearing before his panel on the topic. “[That’s a] bad idea. But there should be some sensible way to allow speakers to speak and audiences to listen while still protecting freedoms offered by the First Amendment.”

President Donald Trump’s chief economic adviser raised the possibility of increasing the federal gasoline tax next year to help pay for the administration’s $1 trillion infrastructure plan, U.S. Representative Tom Reed said.

National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn brought up the fuel tax as a way to help fund promised upgrades to U.S. roads, bridges and other public works during a meeting with a bipartisan group of lawmakers dubbed the Problem Solvers Caucus on Wednesday, said Reed, a New York Republican who is co-chairman of the caucus.   Continue reading “Gary Cohn Floats Idea of Gas Tax Hike for Infrastructure”

Foreigners will soon not be allowed to buy existing homes in New Zealand as the country is facing a housing affordability crisis due to soaring property prices.

“We have agreed on banning the purchase of existing homes by foreign buyers,” said Prime Minister-elect Jacinda Ardern, adding the ban only applied to non-residents.

A bill to ban purchases will be introduced by Christmas, she said, also announcing plans to slash immigration and focus on regional development and job creation.   Continue reading “New Zealand homes ‘no longer for sale’ to foreigners”

A lawsuit over the security of Georgia’s election systems took an unexpected twist when it was revealed that the data was deleted shortly after the case was filed.

The data on a computer server being held at the Center for Elections Systems at Kennesaw State University was destroyed on July 7, according to the Associated Press. It is unclear who ordered the data to be permanently wiped, although Kennesaw State University told the Associated Press that the decision was made based on “standard operating procedure.” This will make it more difficult for the plaintiffs in the lawsuit (a group of election reform advocates) to determine whether Georgia’s current election technology needs to be retired.  Continue reading “Georgia’s election servers were wiped after a lawsuit was filed”

Inside Syria Media Center military correspondents in Iraq have recently reported that ISIS members are surrendering in dozens in their stronghold in Iraq’s Al-Hawija area. They estimate that the Iraqi Army has nearly completed the operation on recapturing the city.

It seems that hard times have come for ISIS jihadists on all fronts. 9-month-long standoff in Mosul came to a logical end. Tal-Afar was recaptured after that much faster, in just 11 days.   Continue reading “What if You’d Been an ISIS Fighter?”

IN A RULING seen as a major win for the largest media conglomerates in the country, the Federal Communications Commission voted to repeal the Main Studio Rule, a 77-year-old regulation that required local television and radio broadcasters to maintain physical studios in the communities they serve.

The Tuesday vote, along party lines, with Republican commissioners supporting repeal, clears the way for major media companies to continue buying up local stations and eliminating positions for journalists, while centralizing programming decisions.  Continue reading “Fake News Alert: Media Conglomerates Convince FCC That Facebook Can Replace Local News Stations”
