The University of Pennsylvania lost a $100 million donation over controversial Congressional testimony from the school's president. The powerful board of Penn's Wharton business school is calling on University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill to resign over disturbing remarks that she made this week while testifying before Congress. The moral degeneracy of the presidents of three prestigious universities who recently refused to condemn calls for genocide clearly is symptomatic of a larger problem. The long-term solution must be to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion bureaucracies and policies, root and branch, from higher education. The flag of Palestine will be raised in Downtown Fresno on Friday, according to the office of City Councilmember Miguel Arias. A group of Arabs from the Middle East and North Africa were deeply disturbed after viewing 47-minutes of Hamas's October 7 atrocities during a screening at the Israeli consulate in Boston, Massachusetts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After weeks of uncertainty, the California Legislature is expected to allocate $250 million for downtown Fresno when it finalizes the state budget in the upcoming week. Then-Vice President Joe Biden allegedly used a secret global cell phone paid for by Hunter Biden's business, according to Government Accountability Institute president Peter Schweitzer. The first "lab grown" meat has been approved for consumption in the United States. Chicken made from cultivated animal cells will now be produced by two California companies, Upside Foods and Good Meat. These products will soon be available in stores and restaurants. In the three years since the federal government started handing out checks to provide relief from the pandemic, the idea of no-strings-attached money for all has crept further into the mainstream. President Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is rerouting illegal immigration through Ports of Entry at the United States-Mexico border to give the appearance that the inflow has dropped under his watch, House Republicans say.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mexico raised its alert level on the Popocatepetl volcano Sunday following in increase in tremors and explosions of ash that shuttered airports in nearby Mexico City and Puebla. A panel of experts recommended raising the alert level to “yellow phase three” from “yellow phase two” on the volcano, located 70 km (44 miles) southeast of Mexico City, the country's head of civil protection. Bryan Kohberger, the 28-year-old criminology buff accused of ambushing sleeping college students with a large knife in November, is expected to be arraigned Monday morning on murder and other charges. And if he finally enters a plea, it would trigger a countdown – giving prosecutors two months to officially announce that they are seeking the death penalty in connection with the ambush slayings of Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen, both 21, as well as Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, 20. Downtown Fresno could get a $250 million makeover. Gov. Newsom included Fresno in his proposed state budget, so how should the money be spent? This week's panel with former Fresno Mayor Alan Autry and news director of GV Wire, Bill McEwen, weigh in on the proposal. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
