Trump Considers Pulling Grant Money from Harvard and Sending to Trade Schools!
President Trump is considering pulling billions in grant money from Harvard and putting it towards THIS instead.
I'm Tomi Lahren, more next.
The Trump Administration is NOT playing when it comes to rooting out antisemitism on college campuses.
Harvard University is still refusing to get with the program but if they keep playing these stupid games, they are sure to win stupid prizes!
Last week DHS Secretary Kristi Noem halted Harvard's ability to enroll international students due to what DHS says was a lack of cooperation with a public record's request. A federal judge once again stepped in to block the action.
But the Trump Admin is NOT backing down. Over the weekend, President Trump floated the idea on truth social of reallocating 3 billion in grant money from Harvard to trade schools. He lauded the idea as a 'great investment' for the USA and I tend to agree with him.
Instead of dumping our hard earned tax dollars into an Ivy League school more concerned with hateful activism than learning, let's prop up the trade schools that actually educate students and prepare them for job success!
Who knows how this will play out, but I love the spirit!

Faith Salie offers her two cents on the end of the penny
Faith Salie offers her two cents on the end of the penny Faith Salie offers her two cents on the end of the penny Faith Salie offers her two cents on the end of the penny What is worthless, but priceless? Overlooked, but treasured? Ubiquitous, but ephemeral? What makes us stop in the street to transcend our pride and stoop to pick it up? It's the humble, shiny, tiny penny. The Treasury announced it will cease making new pennies by early next year. Will they disappear immediately? No. But like so many things in our lives – reliably snowy winters, face-to-face conversations, books whose pages we can turn – pennies are fading away. Before you shrug me off as a sentimental fool old enough to remember visiting the penny candy store on Cape Cod, I do understand that pennies are "outdated" and "inefficient." The government spends about 3.7 cents to make 1 penny. That's a loss of $85 million last year alone. And around half of us don't even carry cash anymore. I don't think the Tooth Fairy believes in pennies nowadays. So, canceling them makes "cents." But in a world where it seems like everyone's looking down, a penny can remind us things might be looking up ... you know, pennies from heaven? You know who was on the first penny in 1792? A woman! It was deemed un-American back then to depict a ruler on a coin, so pennies featured Lady Liberty. A 1793 "flowing hair" penny with Lady Liberty. U.S. Mint It wasn't until 1909 that President Lincoln's face graced the coin. His iconic profile was designed by a Lithuanian-born Jewish immigrant, Victor David Brenner, who created what's thought to be the most reproduced piece of art in history. 1943 pennies were made of zinc-coated steel, because copper was needed for World War II. Should we just throw that history away? Well, yes! As long as we imbue each toss with our wishes. "A penny for your thoughts" was coined nearly 500 years ago by Sir Thomas More, back when offering someone a penny meant their musings were really worth something. These are just my two cents, but ... nobody throws a bitcoin into a fountain. Call me a numismatic nostalgic, but in a world full of crypto and virtuality, I'll keep my eyes peeled for the tarnished, tangible, inefficient promise of luck.

Bill Clinton on opposing President Trump's agenda: "We cannot throw the legacy of this country away"
President Bill Clinton criticized President Trump's actions attacking the rule of law, and predicted that the president would pay a price among those who believe his actions are un-American. "We've never seen anything like this before in my lifetime – somebody that says, 'Whatever I want should be the law of the land. It's my way or the highway.' And most Americans don't agree with that," Clinton said in an interview with "CBS Sunday Morning." "But I like to think that he's paid a price for this, you know, name-calling and throwing his weight around … I think it's made him less popular." Former President Bill Clinton. CBS News He said opposition to Mr. Trump would be bolstered if Democrats win governors' races at play this year, and win back the House in 2026. "Look, only elections are going to change this," he said. "But I do think the courts are getting their dander up. I think that him shutting law firms out of representing their clients before federal agencies and in federal buildings, because he doesn't agree with their position – that ain't America. We've never done that. The whole purpose of having a legal system is to have both sides be heard." Clinton said that, so far, the courts are stopping the president, "including a lot of judges he appointed. And you know, he is looking for ways to basically defy all these court orders. But I think he'll have a hard time doing that. And if he does, I think it will hurt him in America." Democratic opposition Asked if he thought the only thing the Democratic Party could agree on was its antipathy towards Trump, Clinton replied, "If I thought that were true, I would. But I don't think it's true. I just think that most people don't have any idea – most people who are criticizing the Democrats right now – have no idea how difficult it is to decide the right thing to do. I think it's not as easy as people think. "That will come. Elections will happen. And we will see. "President Trump has a right to do what he thinks is right; he's doing it," Clinton said. "The courts are doing their jobs. There will be other elections. But someone needs to stand up and say, 'Damn it, what we have in common matters more. We cannot throw the legacy of this country away. We cannot destroy other people's trust in us. We need to preserve that and find a way to work together, and not humiliate other people just so we can win.' We gotta just calm down and try to pull people together again. That's what I think." Elder statesmen Last November, Clinton released his book, "Citizen: My Life After the White House," and talked with "Sunday Morning" about the importance of citizens to "stand up for what we think is right." The following month, Clinton, then 78, had a health scare that landed him in the hospital. "It turned out to be no big deal," he said. "I basically kind of lost my balance, and I knew I was sick, and I went to the hospital and checked in and they said I was severely dehydrated. And I got great care, and I left the next day." As for his health today, he said, "Far as I know, it's great. But when you're older, you have to be more careful to stay hydrated." Asked about a recent book on President Joe Biden which suggested people around him had seen signs of cognitive and physical decline, Clinton said he never saw any cognitive decline, and did not feel that Biden was unfit to run for President. "I thought he was a good president. The only concern I thought he had to deal with was, could anybody do that job until they were 86?" Clinton said. "And we'd had several long talks. I had never seen him and walked away thinking, He can't do this anymore. He was always on top of his briefs. "I haven't read the book. And I saw President Biden not very long ago, and I thought he was in good shape. But the book didn't register with me 'cause I never saw him that way." Asked why he hasn't read the book, Clinton replied, "I didn't want to. 'Cause he's not president anymore, and I think he did a good job. And I think we are facing challenges today without precedent in our history. And some people are trying to use this as a way to blame him for the fact that Trump was reelected."

Here's What To Make Of Yum! Brands' (NYSE:YUM) Decelerating Rates Of Return
If we want to find a stock that could multiply over the long term, what are the underlying trends we should look for? Amongst other things, we'll want to see two things; firstly, a growing return on capital employed (ROCE) and secondly, an expansion in the company's amount of capital employed. Put simply, these types of businesses are compounding machines, meaning they are continually reinvesting their earnings at ever-higher rates of return. So when we looked at Yum! Brands (NYSE:YUM), they do have a high ROCE, but we weren't exactly elated from how returns are trending. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. If you haven't worked with ROCE before, it measures the 'return' (pre-tax profit) a company generates from capital employed in its business. To calculate this metric for Yum! Brands, this is the formula: Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities) 0.47 = US$2.6b ÷ (US$6.7b - US$1.2b) (Based on the trailing twelve months to March 2025). So, Yum! Brands has an ROCE of 47%. In absolute terms that's a great return and it's even better than the Hospitality industry average of 9.6%. View our latest analysis for Yum! Brands In the above chart we have measured Yum! Brands' prior ROCE against its prior performance, but the future is arguably more important. If you'd like to see what analysts are forecasting going forward, you should check out our free analyst report for Yum! Brands . Things have been pretty stable at Yum! Brands, with its capital employed and returns on that capital staying somewhat the same for the last five years. Businesses with these traits tend to be mature and steady operations because they're past the growth phase. Although current returns are high, we'd need more evidence of underlying growth for it to look like a multi-bagger going forward. This probably explains why Yum! Brands is paying out 46% of its income to shareholders in the form of dividends. Given the business isn't reinvesting in itself, it makes sense to distribute a portion of earnings among shareholders. While Yum! Brands has impressive profitability from its capital, it isn't increasing that amount of capital. Although the market must be expecting these trends to improve because the stock has gained 64% over the last five years. But if the trajectory of these underlying trends continue, we think the likelihood of it being a multi-bagger from here isn't high. On a final note, we found 4 warning signs for Yum! Brands (2 are a bit concerning) you should be aware of. High returns are a key ingredient to strong performance, so check out our free list ofstocks earning high returns on equity with solid balance sheets. Have feedback on this article?
