Native America Calling - Wednesday, March 19, 2025 – Higher education for Native students at a crossroads

The Donald Trump Administration is using the full force of the federal government to compel colleges and universities to do away with scholarships, recruiting, academic programs and any other initiatives that help Native students succeed. Schools risk losing hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding in addition to defending against investigations by the Department of Justice and other agencies. At least 50 schools are facing such investigations for what the U.S. Department of Education calls “race exclusionary” practices. We’ll get a look at the sweeping changes the Trump Administration is bringing about and how Native education advocates are responding.

Consider This from NPR - Measles is spreading. Are you safe?

Measles continues to spread in West Texas and New Mexico. About 300 cases have been reported, since the outbreak began in January - but the actual number is likely higher.

The communities where measles continues to spread people are largely unvaccinated.

At the same time some isolated measles cases have been reported in a dozen other states - largely linked to international travel.

In most of the U.S., vaccination rates are still high enough to stop a major outbreak. But if they continue to fall, we could see long-term consequences of measles in the future.

The Daily Signal - Victor Davis Hanson: Gavin Newsom’s California in ‘Existential Freefall’

California native Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the harsh realities of Newsom’s policies on this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” 


From high taxes to a failing power grid, Hanson asks the critical question: Why is California becoming unsustainable?


“The state started the year 2024 $76 billion in debt. You are now broke. Even that was not enough. What is your plan to address that?


“We are in an existential freefall. And you as governor either can't or won't do anything about it. And if this continues, in another decade, this is going to be a completely medieval Third World society, if it isn't already.”
