Last night, President Trump said, "You have to trust your country, because if there can be no trust there can be no greatness, and that's very simple. No trust, no greatness." He lied 6 times in the first 60 seconds of his speech. And countless times after. We're supposed to trust him?

Why does this feel so much like colleges are being blackmailed?

This guy either has figured out a way to make a living by running for political office (and losing), or he needs to get a new hobby. Also... "experienced leadership" ... is there even one example of this? I think his experience begins and ends with being student body president in high school.

It's gonna be so fun to see which colleges rush to take Trump's administration up on this.

I sent a package to Fairbanks via UPS last week and it's fascinating to track it on the UPS website. It has gone from Vancouver to Medford, Oregon, to Sacramento and now to Visalia, California. They've had the package for almost a week now. Does UPS not know where Alaska is?

Stanford is getting ready to cut 363 jobs because of financial concerns, but they love legacy admissions so much they're willing to pony up $4+ million to keep giving preference to donors and alumni. Make it make sense. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...
