Education Department opens investigation into foreign ties at Harvard and Yale


The US Department of Education has opened investigations into whether Harvard and Yale universities failed to properly report hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign gifts and contracts, signaling a widening probe by federal agencies into whether China, Russia, and other countries have gained inappropriate influence and access into American academia.

Harvard and Yale received lengthy letters from the department on Monday requesting information about their foreign ties and funding, along with the safeguards they deploy to meet regulations. The letters come just weeks after a prominent Harvard scientist was arrested on charges that he lied to federal authorities about his alleged ties to China.

We should not be at war with Iran unless Congress votes to authorize such a war,” Virginia Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine, who introduced the resolution said, according to CNN. 
(Kaine was HRC'S VP running mate)
Kaine added: “While the President does and must always have the ability to defend the United States from imminent attack, the executive power to initiate war stops there. An offensive war requires a congressional debate and vote. This should not be a controversial proposition.”
The resolution will more than likely be vetoed by the president.
Democrats continue to look for ways to restrict Trump’s role as commander-in-chief after he approved a decisive airstrike last month that killed Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani.
Republicans who votes affirmative:
1. Utah Sen. Mike Lee
2. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul
3. Maine Sen. Susan Collins
4. Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander 
5. Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy
6. Kansas Sen. Jerry Moran
7. Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski
8. Indiana Sen. Todd Young.

"That is mind-boggling," Limbaugh, 69, said Wednesday on his show after his producer told him a caller offered to give him a lung. 
The host said his producer, James "Bo Snerdley" Golden, told him he was being offered two lungs per day since his announcement a week ago that he has advanced lung cancer.

I was at GLP earlier and they have a FLOOD of new virus posts.  I didn't dare start in on them.
I figured I'd let them sort them out first.  I'll check tomorrow to see what survived overnight.

LOOKING TO TIE IN AN OBAMA OR TWO?

A judge has ordered Google to turn over a year’s worth of Jussie Smollett’s emails, private messages, photographs and location data to a special prosecutor who is looking into why prosecutors abruptly dismissed criminal charges against the actor.
On Wednesday, the Chicago Tribune reported that it had obtained two search warrants submitted by special prosecutor Dan Webb and signed off by Cook County Judge Michael Toomin last month.
