Trump Signs Executive Order to Protect Free Speech on College Campuses

The White House said some $35 billion in grants is at stake

President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order to promote free speech on college campuses by threatening colleges with the loss of federal research funding if they do not protect those rights.

“We’re here to take historic action to defend American students and American values,” Trump said, surrounded by conservative student activists at the signing ceremony. “They’ve been under siege.”



“Under the guise of speech codes, safe spaces and trigger warnings, these universities have tried to restrict free thought, impose total conformity and shut down the voices of great young Americans like those here today,” he said.

A senior administration official said the order directs 12 grant-making agencies to use their authority in coordination with the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to ensure institutions that receive federal research or education grants promote free speech and free inquiry.

White House officials have said it will apply to more than $35 billion in grants.

Public universities seeking funding would have to certify they comply with the First Amendment, which already applies to them.

Private universities, which have more flexibility in limiting speech, would need to commit to...

Illegal Alien accused of four murders in Nevada said he needed money to buy meth: authorities

An undocumented immigrant illegal alien accused of fatally shooting four people in Nevada during a 10-day period in January told police he robbed and killed them because he needed money to buy meth.

Wilber Ernesto Martinez-Guzman, 20, repeatedly called himself an “idiot” as he confessed to the murders, according to grand jury testimony by Detective Stefanie Brady of the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office.

The detective told a grand jury earlier this month that Martinez-Guzman was smiling and giggling as he initially denied any wrongdoing during the three-hour interrogation. However, he would break into tears and later say through a Spanish interpreter he had “done something that’s unforgivable.”

“He said he needed the money for the meth and it was the meth,” Brady testified.

The 268-page grand jury transcript, obtained by The Associated Press, was filed late Tuesday in Washoe District Court. Martinez-Guzman was indicted by the grand jury on multiple charges, including four counts of murder.

A not guilty plea was entered on his behalf on Tuesday.

The defendant is from El Salvador, and federal officials do not know how or when he crossed the border. President Trump has said the case shows the need for a border wall.

Prosecutors say he killed Gerald David, 81, and his 80-year-old wife, Sharon David, a prominent Reno couple who had hired Martinez-Guzman as a landscaper. Connie Koontz and Sophia Renken were killed in their homes in Gardnerville.
District Attorneys Chris Hicks of Washoe County and Mark Jackson of Douglas County have said they will seek the...

BOOM: Trump effect leads RNC to record $14.6 million haul in February

The conventional wisdom among the ruling class in D.C. is that the president serves as head of his party. Credit or blame for the party’s gains or woes are therefore assigned to him.

With that in mind, it’s only fair to give POTUS Donald Trump kudos for the Republican National Committee’s record $14.6 million fundraising haul in February.

This is our second highest February ever (outpaced only by 2004) and largest off-cycle year ever,” RNC National Press Secretary Cassie Smedile told the Washington Examiner.

“It’s been three years since we launched the largest online fundraising apparatus ever, yet the three committees [including the National Republican Senatorial Committee and the National Republican Congressional Committee] continue to see new enthusiasm and support for this president and his policies every day.”

The RNC also noted that the party has managed to dramatically increase its small-dollar donor pool, which 2020 Democratic rivals Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Robert “Beto” O’Rourke have said proves their viability.

“Nearly 60 percent of our donations came from small-dollar donors, $8.9 million,” Smedile said.

“So while 2020 Dems continue to boast about their ‘massive’ one-day seven-figure fundraising days that they haul in only because it’s their formal ‘launch’ day, Trump’s fundraising arms have repeatedly hit this number and we’ve done so without the momentum of an initial campaign launch,” she said.

Meanwhile, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee announced it raised a record $11.6 million in the same month.

As for the Trump effect on the RNC’s record fundraising, as a reminder the RNC announced in January their full support for POTUS Trump, heading off rumblings of...
