Under the cover of Covid, and now in the shadow of the infamous Election Irregularities of that fated 2020 presidential election, with current emerging alleged election fraud in Nevada and Pennsylvania inconveniently slipping into the public discourse, there is proved a colluded ongoing Election Interference in the nomination of the Republican candidate, the likes of which has never occurred in our Constitutional Republic's history, albeit, the question remains: Do you support the plain-sight Election Interference of the Democratic Socialist party, employing its minions in their Propagandistic Media, and their Two Tiered Justice System?
98.06% No, I do not support Election Interference; I am a patriot unto our Constitution.
0.97% Yes, I do support Election Interference; the alternative, Donald Trump, to this mentally diminished president is far worse.
0.97% "What, me worry" if elections are rigged?

By now you have heard the story. It plays out like a script. A “controversial” speaker—almost always a conservative or libertarian—is invited to a campus. Protests, and in some cases riots, ensue. The speech is canceled or the speaker shouted down. The free exchange of ideas gives way to authoritari

My dozen years on the faculty and staff at a small liberal arts college followed a three-decade career in the chemical industry. One of the most surprising things I learned when I began teaching is how little presence the faculty has on campus for large portions of the year.

A recent New York Times piece caught my eye, as it hit upon a topic - alas! - so close to my heart. I'm talking about the enormous glut of people who have earned their PhDs. but cannot find secure, decent-paying academic work.
