Presumptive Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City Zohran Mamdani would be a disaster for higher education in New York, with his policy of redistributing wealth for “equity” instead of rewarding merit. Making college “free” on the backs of taxpaying workers distorts the market, wastes resources, and entices many people into college whose lives would be better if they pursued a trade instead. My new book, Slacking: A Guide to Ivy League Miseducation, proves that Ivy League universities can no longer be trusted to produce well-educated students as it is; and we know the Trump administration has already begun targeting certain Ivy League universities with threats or actual suspensions of federal funding. These actions are often tied to failures to address antisemitism on campus, particularly in the context of anti-Israel protests. There is a link between antisemitism, socialism, and a social-activist curriculum. With the breaking news that Mamdani is the likely nominee, we are quickly learning the extent to which his socialism would be a disaster for New York.
Prestige no longer ensures substance at Ivy League schools; students must navigate a maze of shallow, politicized courses to uncover the rare gems of a classical education, exposing the need for academic renewal.

8:10 Theoretical Physicist Dr. Ed Berry, PhD – Has a disagreement with the CO2 Coalition over human-caused climate change and is posting a challenge and critique in order to help the Trump Administration WIN its climate lawsuit where opponents are trying to shut down the President’s climate executive orders. All the info here at www.EdBerry.com
The shootout at the CO2 Corral
The CO2 Coalition published its Special Document that claims human CO2 causes all or most of the CO2 increase, a claim we call H(1).
But after reading my rebuttal and readers’ comments, the CO2 Coalition has abandoned its defense.
So, what does that tell you about the CO2 Coalition?
Either
(a) the CO2 Coalition agrees its Special Document is junk science but is embarrassed to admit it, or
(b) the CO2 Coalition cannot defend its scientific positions which means the CO2 Coalition also cannot help to defend the Lighthiser v Trump climate lawsuit.
The CO2 Coalition should make retired physics professor David Andrews an honorary member because he is the only one trying to defend this CO2 Coalition Document on CO2. Is David all alone?

Now even the smallest purchase can affect your credit score. FICO, the company that assigns credit scores, says starting this fall it’ll incorporate Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) purchases into its scoring formula. The loans that allow customers to break up purchases into four installments have become increasingly popular, particularly among young shoppers—but unlike credit card borrowing, they have had no bearing on credit scores – until now.
“This is a major development in that there is the very real potential for Americans to damage their credit scores if these enticing purchases are not managed properly,” says long time Credit Repair Specialist and founder of Credit Repair and Credit Management Firm ‘Better Qualified’ in Eatontown, NJ Paul Oster (see short bio below). “Now more than ever those who are using this mechanism to make purchases have to make sure they pay – and pay on time.”
FICO says that it could be a boon to people who have been diligent in paying BNPL loans, especially those who have limited credit history otherwise. At the same time, it could harm the credit scores of borrowers with missed BNPL payments. The total amount of BNPL loans issued is projected to rise to 108-billion dollars this year. If so, that would be an increase from 94 billion last year.
So, what can you do to make sure BNPL options don’t wreck your credit rating?

8:10 Knox Williams, President and Executive Director of the American Suppressor Association
The American Suppressor Association led a coalition of over 50 Second Amendment nonprofits, medical experts, and industry leaders in a letter to Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Mike Crapo urging the removal of firearm suppressors and short-barreled firearms from the National Firearms Act tax scheme. The letter — signed by every major Second Amendment group including GOA, NRA, and NAGR — stresses that now is the time for Congress to act and deliver on a top Trump administration priority: defending the Second Amendment.
The letter explains why it is imperative that Senate Republicans use reconciliation to remove suppressors from the NFA tax scheme, and deliver meaningful tax relief for millions of Americans:
“Americans should not be taxed on a safety device that helps prevent irreversible damage to one of their senses while exercising their Constitutional rights. It would be ludicrous if elected officials demonized and regulated automobile mufflers like they do suppressors. Suppressors use the same science as mufflers, which should come as no surprise considering the muffler was invented by the same man who invented the firearm suppressor. Like car mufflers, suppressors are designed to protect hearing, reduce noise pollution, and help us all be good stewards of the environment. Scare tactics, misinformation, and preservation of the status quo must not be impediments to restoring common sense to our nation’s approach to the Second Amendment.”

6:35 Melissa Henson, VP, Parents Television and Media Council
Children who are addicted to screens are at higher risk for suicidal behaviors, according to a new study published in JAMA.
The New York Times reported, “The researchers found addictive behavior to be very common among children — especially in their use of mobile phones, where nearly half had high addictive use. By age 14, children with high or increasing addictive behavior were two to three times as likely as other children to have thoughts of suicide or to harm themselves, the study found.”
Parents Television and Media Council VP Melissa Henson discusses what parents, educators, and tech companies can and must do to protect children from screen addiction.

Grants Pass
By Dennis Powers
The growth of Josephine County and Grants Pass was based on gold mining and the railroad. Learning about the newly discovered gold finds in Jacksonville in 1852, sailors deserted their ship near Crescent City and found rich gold deposits in the Illinois Valley, 25 miles south of present-day Grants Pass. Known as “Sailor Diggings” (then in Jackson County), its population of several thousands made it an important mining center. Later named Waldo, numbers of the miners left six years later for British Columbia’s Frazier River with the news of its gold discoveries. Gold mining centers in the Illinois Valley as Sailor Diggings, Althouse, and others vanished over time with little remains left behind.
With its importance as a gold mining region, however, Josephine County was carved from a portion of Jackson County in 1856; it was named for Josephine Rollins, the first non-Native American woman to settle in Southern Oregon. Before the easy-to-find gold was exhausted, Sailor Diggings became the first county seat, and later when renamed as Waldo. The settlement was naturally rustic and remote; for example, the courthouse was a log house bought from a local settler. By 1857, however, the population center had shifted to Kerbyville in the Illinois Valley, a town settled earlier by James Kerby—and the county seat again moved.
By 1873, the county’s population was said to be 1,500 and only seven towns were listed: Althouse, Kerbyville, Leland, Slate Creek, Waldo, Williamsburg, and Wolf Creek. Most commercial activity centered on gold mining and supplying the miners with their needs. A few hotels existed but more saloons as tent cities were a basic part of every town; and the miners came and left based on where the gold was.
Orson Gilbert had settled on a donation claim in 1854 that later became Grants Pass. The small village was first named Perkinsville, and was then a little more than a stagecoach stop in the 1860s; however, the coming of the Oregon & California Railroad (“O&C”) changed everything. The stop was located centrally on the railroad’s path, on the Rogue River, and as building track was very expensive, the surveyed line lined up nicely with the settlement of Rogue River, the next selected station stop.
The O&C line was completed to Grants Pass on Christmas Eve, 1883. With the railroad in place, businesses sprang up to serve the train passengers and those who decided to make it their new home. Hotels, stores, saloons, and churches appeared in wood structures along Front Street, or what is now “G” Street. Within five years of the railroad’s coming, the population doubled from 2,500 residents to nearly 5,000.
A leading citizen, Henry Miller, soon built an extensive saw mill that covered nearly 10 acres in the town’s middle; this operation became its largest employer with some 300 employees. Miller then spearheaded the move to make Grants Pass the county seat in 1896 and was successful. He also lobbied the state for an appropriation of $7,000 to build the first bridge that spanned the Rogue River, downstream from the current Caveman Bridge.
Tradesmen, farmers, lumbermen, and orchardists over time settled around the city and replaced the transient miners who moved on. With its location and transportation network, Grants Pass became the county’s trading center. By the 1890s the city had its own opera house, the first of several bridges crossing the Rogue, a water company, and light and power, generated from a dam a few hundred feet west of the present Caveman Bridge.
The town’s name was in honor of General U.S. Grant’s capture of Vicksburg in 1863. When this news reached the area, the nearby stagecoach station was so named. Once Ulysses S. Grant became the 18th President of the United States (1869 to 1877), the name was a fixture. With the railroad’s coming, the post office moved to near the depot, taking the name with it. Even into the 1900s, the town retained the original spelling of “Grant’s Pass,” using the apostrophe—before finally dropping the punctuation.
When gold mining played out, Grants Pass’s fortunes fluctuated with the economics of the timber industry. With the opening of the Oregon Caves to the public with a 1920’s road completion, Grants Pass was on the route to the Pacific Ocean and became more tourist-centered. After the Great Depression, World War II, and into the 1980s, the timber industry had its ups and down but then stagnated. With its fabled Rogue River fishing, river explorations (as the growth of Hellgate Jet Boats), and outdoors becoming popular, the city became more retiree and tourist-oriented, joining farming, dairying, and even planting vineyards as economic activities.
The population of Grants Pass is presently 39,000, or roughly 45% of Josephine County’s 88,000, and a vast improvement from the mining camps that had once been the county seat–and still the center for Josephine County.
