Wednesday, March 5 President Trump threatened to strip federal funding from colleges and universities that allow their students to “illegally” protest and threatened to deport, imprison, and/or expel students who are using their right to free speech. These threats are a desperate attempt to silence a movement that is working—we won’t back down.

Join us in opposing ex-‘israeli’ Prime Minister’s welcoming on our campus. This war criminal has the blood of thousands of Palestinians on his hands and is a direct perpetrator of the ongoing ethnic cleansing and occupation of Palestine.

We vehemently oppose any attempts to welcome or commemorate war criminals. We will not remain silent while they are platformed on our campus.

This year marks twenty years since one of the most consequential meetings of my time in Washington, D.C. Stephen Zarlenga, a man I would come to recognize as a scholar and a legend in monetary policy, walked into my Longworth Building office with his assistant, Elizabeth Harper.

In just a seven-minute discussion of US monetary policy, they set me on a course which changed my life, and how I looked at the world. I began a deep inquiry into the nature of money, and why is our government always in debt, in this, the wealthiest country in the world?

Today, in the face of misguided austerity measures proposed by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Zarlenga’s message is more urgent than ever. While the push to eliminate wasteful government spending is laudable, it is a distraction from fundamental questions:

How is money created?

Who creates it?

Why are we locked into perpetual debt?

You voted for Trump and are being deported, or losing your job, or paying more for eggs. Now you’re the subject of so-called journalism about your “buyer’s remorse.” This is an extremely weak version of the sort of transformation that is needed — the sort of Saul-to-Paul awakening, forehead-slapping, I’ve-been-an-idiot, redemption-seeking metamorphosizing needed from millions of people, Trump voters and otherwise. For one thing it’s all still selfish and short-sighted. For another thing, you weren’t offered a decent alternative. You picked the sociopath who was worse in many ways than the other sociopath. You didn’t fail to pick someone good, as that option wasn’t offered — not on many ballots, not in the corporate media that you rely on probably far more than you realize. Plus you were right to pick the person proposing to change things. Unfortunately, he wanted to change most things for the worse. Regretting your Trump vote is like the captain of the Titanic regretting he’s put on dirty underwear and socks. It’s gross, but it misses the point.

Residential Installations Decline in 2023

The U.S. residential solar industry struggled last year, seeing declines in installations by about 26 percent in 2023. Much of this decline was due to changes in the net metering policy in California, which reduced compensation for those exporting power to the grid by about 75 percent. As a result, residential installations in California dropped by over 40 percent. 

In 2023, California accounted for 25 percent of all residential solar installed nationwide.

Other factors leading to the nationwide decline were higher interest rates as well as increased tariffs which added to the cost of installing a system. 

Residential solar only makes up about 22 percent of the overall solar market. Utility scale solar accounts for 72 percent of all solar installations with a dramatic 44 percent growth rate in 2023.

Elon Musk's remarks on Muslim are preposterous!

As a retired NCO, I am appalled by Co-President Elon Musk who recently questioned the loyalty of Muslim-American organizations and equate them with terrorism without producing any shred of evidence.

Muslims are part of the fabric that makes our country great. They have served in every war and conflict since the Revolutionary War.

I should note here that the 'Tweet Machine' never served a day in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Elon Musk's remarks on Muslims are preposterous.

Israel is reneging on the ceasefire agreement

 A high-ranking Israeli official said, "Israel will not withdraw from the Philadelphia Corridor, which is the border separating Egypt and Gaza, despite the ceasefire agreement stipulating otherwise."

Last Sunday, Prime Minister Netanyahu said Israel is imposing a blockade on all humanitarian aid heading into Gaza, following the expiration of phase one of the ceasefire deal. 

That is a clear violation of the agreement. In other words, Israel is reneging on the ceasefire agreement. Fish swim, birds fly, and Israelis lie!
