re: Forbes’ “New Ivies” Public and Private Universities, 2026

UF is a bargain at 6k, for those who can get in. About how much a state school should cost.
I live in Florida, and everyone I know who has gone to UF has transferred after a year.
I’m not buying that Florida is some top tier institution either. Selective? Yes, but a friend’s daughter had over 1,500 kids in their freshman chemistry class.
The chemistry class was so big 90% had to take the class online. But, I guess that is what $6k a year tuition looks like:

What's interesting and I believe is being implied by the feedback they discuss from the hiring managers is that DEI has messed up admissions to a point where top tier candidates who should’ve been accepted to Penn or whatever are ending up at Georgia Tech or Texas and the DEI candidates probably should’ve been at a third tier school and it’s watering down the Ivy League brand.
But functionally the schools listed are historically mostly backup schools for people who didn’t get into the actual Ivy League.
While it's convenient to blame DEI, and I am certain there is some of that to an extent, the reality of the situation is that there are just simply more kids applying to historically top schools than ever before. And those top schools have not increased their numbers of incoming Freshman in any meaningful way. It is almost impossible to get into the traditional Ivies at this point. Hell, it's impossible to get into a lot of the "secondary" top schools. The brand of Ivies hasn't been watered down at all. Those schools are still filled with kids that are the smartest of the smartest, who will then make up the majority of the top law, business, grad schools.
What this does do is allow a lot of 2nd and 3rd tier colleges and universities to attract really incredible students, and as a result, they become more selective as well.
It all flows downhill.

Hmmmm...sounds familiar
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles."
“Society as a whole is more and more splitting up into two great hostile camps”
Also Marx:
“The proletarians have nothing to loose but their chains. They have a world to win.”
And even more Marx:
“Then the world will be for the common people, and the sounds of happiness will reach the deepest springs. Ah! Come! People of every land, how can you not be roused.”
And finally, Marx's solution:
“the theory of Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property.”

Tariffs don’t need to “replace” income tax, that’s the point, Congress can make do, like the rest of us when we have a cut in funds
Just to fund the military at current levels, tariffs would have to be at 25-30%. To fund our military and debt service, tariffs would have to be at 50-60%.

Insert the “what year is it?” Gif. The British empire? Seriously WTF. People will fall for anything as long as it 1) is dark and conspiratorial or 2) if the person sounds serious

I know, it’s just the audacity of the juror that grabbed my attention.
I think the shock of it may be that we could possibly understand jury nullification for lessor charges like resisting arrest or assaulting a police officer, but frickin murder? And it wasn't just a domestic dispute that went wrong. It was cold-blooded murder. That's a bridge way too damn far.

I have no issue with Erika I think she is a good person but she can’t sell it like Charlie did.
This is a fair statement, however no one could have foreseen the idea that a few podcasters with significant followings would accuse her of killing her own husband and being in cahoots with a global assasination conspiracy along with Israel and Egypt AND have people retarded enough to believe it.
That’s just not on any bingo card. And, if that had not happened, TPUSA could have survived for a a long time on inertia alone, which could have given it enough oxygen to survive in some form.

Cheering over t-shirt or ticket sales immediately following her death would have been enough for me to want to suck on the barrel of a pistol.
Dude my dad died at 45 and left my mom a construction company. The company was her biggest asset.
I was 12 years old at the time and I distinctly remember my mother “celebrating” with the 2 project managers being awarded a big contract less than a month after my father had passed.
5 years later she sold the company. I can tell you she mourned the death of my father. And his death was way different than CKs. My father had battled cancer for 5 years and CKs was unexpected and immediate.
So spare me the “this is how a widow should act” bullshiite.

Meh. Erika was really weird in this whole thing. I dont trust her a bit
So???! .she is just a figure head. Making it all about her, which is what Candace did was stupid and wrong.
The movement could have continued on inertia alone, but no, we had to promote the most stupid people and their stupid conspiracy theories.
Until you can call out Candace and anyone who supports her, you are part of the problem.

There is a cold hard truth here and that truth is that assassinations work.
