TRUMP COLLUDES ON  WHITE HOUSE LAWN 

This afternoon President Trump actually endorsed what he denied during the Mueller investigation. He constantly said, "No collusion, no collusion". Remember that? But today the stupid son of a bitch actually invited the Ukraine to investigate the Bidens. Right now there is "no there...there" for a Biden investigation. But the blockbuster came when old Diaper Don invited China to investigate. On tape, he debunked his "no collusion" words and essentially pulled the rug out of from under the hapless, feckless GOP ass kissers that still support him.

Right side of history boys and girls and you ain't  on it. 

Meantime, Trump has just guaranteed impeachment  and ensured his place in history as a man of treason, never reason.

WHY ELIZABETH WARREN MAY NOT NE THE FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT 

And Amy Klobachar, Kamala Harris, and other Democrats running who happen to be female. This has nothing to do with a ballot box either.
Right now the walls are closing in on the Trump administration.  It is apparent that Trump has brought in Mike Pence and Mike Pompeo in this Ukraine mess. Trump has admitted to colluding with a Foreign leader. Pence is now involved in engaging in unethical and possibly unlawful behavior. 
Trump is scared because right now he is not even admitting what he did to a few weeks ago. The bottom line here is that a crime was committed and Nancy Pelosi is not backing down. Trump has had a meltdown using language even below a pimp as he tries to attack the people who respect the rule of law. 
Aligators and snakes? Well it takes one to know one, right? 
Meanwhile if things keep up like this, Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House just might be the first woman President.

 

 CARTWRIGHT, DAVIS INTRODUCE BILL TO MAKE TUITION COSTS TRANSPARENT

Representatives Matt Cartwright  and Rodney Davis (IL-13) introduced bipartisan legislation to increase the transparency around tuition costs and to help students plan for the increased costs of higher education.
The Truth-in-Tuition Act would require all institutions of higher education (IHEs) receiving federal funds to provide price models in order to reduce the unpredictability of tuition price increases. Although schools will remain free to set tuition rates as they see fit, they would be required to show families and students a clear model of what they would charge them over the course of their studies.
“As the costs of higher education rise, tuition transparency is more important than ever,” said Congressman Cartwright. “When students aren’t told exactly how much their education will cost, they can end up taking on more student loan debt than they and their families planned for. This bipartisan bill will allow students to avoid unexpected tuition costs and fees as they pursue their educational goals.”
“Student loan debt is now the second largest form of consumer debt with the average person owing $32,000 in student loan debt,” said Congressman Davis. “Not only do we need to work on the back end to help deal with student loan debt, but we need to do more to control the cost of college on the front end and ensure students know exactly what they will owe. More transparency will allow students to plan and hopefully prevent more students from taking out more in loans than is needed. Former Congressman Peter Roskam championed this when he was a state senator in Illinois and I’m proud that my home state already requires this important level of transparency.”
In the past 30 years, average tuition and fees tripled at public four-year institutions; they also more than doubled at public two-year institutions and at private nonprofit four-year institutions, after adjusting for inflation.
Specifically, the Truth-in-Tuition Act amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to require all IHEs to provide:
•A multi-year tuition and fee schedule, which would indicate costs for the normal duration of such student's undergraduate or graduate program, OR
A single-year tuition and fee schedule, and a nonbinding multi-year estimate of net costs after financial aid is awarded.
This bill is supported by the Young Invincibles, a national organization focused on the financial health of young Americans.
“Across the country, the skyrocketing cost of tuition is threatening to push a degree out of reach for today’s students -- especially low-income students and students of color,” said Rachel Fleischer, Executive Director of the Young Invincibles. “While higher education is still the best path for a young person to achieve financial security, understanding the true cost of college can be a confusing process for many young people. That’s why the Truth-in-Tuition Act would ensure that every prospective student has the information and support they need to make an informed decision about their next educational step. We applaud Rep. Cartwright for leading the charge on behalf of today’s students and urge Congress to pass the Truth-in-Tuition Act immediately.”

1969

Our 1969 logo.

A 1.2 megaton thermonuclear device was tested at Amchitka Island, Alaska. The test. codenamed Project Milrow, was a "calibration shot" to test if the island was fit for larger underground nuclear detonations…….. The member nations of the International Monetary Fund voted overwhelmingly to approve the implementation of a "new form of manmade international money", special drawing rights, referred to as "paper gold"….. Major League Baseball's first divisional playoffs began as the Minnesota Twins visited the Baltimore Orioles and the New York Mets visited the Atlanta Braves. The division of the National League and the American League into Eastern and Western Divisions was new for 1969. Previously, the AL's Orioles (109-53 record) and the NL's Mets (100-62) would have been the pennant winners without need for a playoff. Opening the best 3 games of 5 series, the Orioles won, 4-3, and the Mets 9-5... Diane Linkletter, the 21-year old daughter of popular TV show host Art Linkletter, died after falling or jumping from a window of her sixth floor apartment at the Shoreham Towers in West Hollywood. Diane had made regular appearances on her father's show during the 1968-1969 season. The elder Linkletter attributed the death to his daughter's use of the hallucinogenic drug LSD, and told reporters, "It wasn't suicide, because she wasn't herself. It was murder. She was murdered by the people who manufacture and sell LSD." [8] He clarified in an interview with the Los Angeles Times that Diane was already "somewhat emotional and dramatic",[9] that she had confided in him that she had experimented with LSD five months earlier and had a bad experience, and that she apparently had taken the drug again hours before calling a friend and her brother to say that she was terrified. The tragedy would become part of an urban legend that, during the LSD trip, Diane had jumped because she "believed she could fly", and would be cited in debates over stricter controls over illicit drugs…….

Monty Python's Flying Circus first aired, appearing on BBC One at 10:55 at night. The first show was described in the news as "Latest late-night show which will, we are warned, be 'nutty.' With John Cleese and Graham Chapman. And fifty years go the number one song in Lulac land and America was “Little Women” by Bobby Sherman.
