#1 MODS: I've been having trouble when I 'Post a News Article', I can enter everything but I can't type in anything - I can just hit Submit. This one's a USA TODAY article mentioning Colorado regarding places where visa students have been cancelled. Why, 16 in Colorado Universities alone have been cancelled!

The sources are USA TODAY and the top two items on the front page of the Denver Post website, which no one particularly looks at anymore (except sports - notice on the front page it's ALL sports until you get to the real news items. Headlines & Links follow.

DPOST1: "Colorado officials ready legal defense fund against Trump cuts and potential investigations"

DPOST2: "Number of Colorado student visas revoked by Trump administration more than doubles"

I know I know, I do so much for the benefit of Rantburg and this required a difficult financial burden, which paled against the common barrage of DEI website programming staff with nose and lips pierced and horribly mangled with lots of tacky baubles, where zee pass off their product to an equally DEI testing staff, and I went ahead and purchased a 1 year subscription for $1, probably about right, but that requires you to provide proof that your liquid with a credit card and all sorts of bugs in entering your credit card into the system. It takes alot of tries.

#2 Do you have content blockers set to stop pop-up ads and things, Fairbanks dear? I find I have problems with X and a number of news sites when that’s working, so I have to go to the URL bar, click on the drop-down icon at the left end of it, and click on Turn Off Content Blockers. If it’s not that, I have no idea. But with all the serious computer mavens who hang out here, I’m sure someone will have a useful answer for you.

Thank you for finding the article and trying — we’ll climb this learning curve together.

#3 Thanks TW. I don't know anything about content blockers, but I'll be on the phone tomorrow with one of my best friends, the Lebanese Christian who does all of the hardware and systems work in my place and is the proprietor of a computer repair/towers/laptops, etc. store in Littleton. He's probably 55 and his eyes don't appear to be in the least bit crazy. I would guess that he's been in this country for about 20 years and when I met him about 12 years ago his English was awful but it has much approved. I type this using one of those curved 32" LG monitors at a distance of 2' and the VISIO sound bar is mounted 5' behind me. Of course move back a bit for the Ingraham Angle and the whole thing explodes when you turn off the lights and move the Bushmills and soda out on the balcony where I occasionally have ~~over 100~~ a smoke with the Bose headphones for movies.

#4 Smiling this morning ... When I was at Northwestern, the university generally thought itself too prominent, too well connected and essentially "above the law." I feel for my friends and colleagues caught in the vise this morning. And yet ... the word "smug" comes to mind

#5 We have a marxist activist problem in the United States. It's organized. They are learning this activism somewhere, we all hate it, and we know where they learn it. We need to stop being on defense.
