April 27, 2019 - In the old days, getting into college was a big deal - you had to be a good student, have some solid extracurricular activities, and generally pass an entrance exam as well as demonstrate you can write a decent “Why I Want to Go to College” essay.

When the fascist federal government decided to back student loans, giving them to every degree seeking student, it was hailed as a good thing, but a big mistake was made: the loans were for “tuition,” not for a set amount, so colleges could charge whatever they wanted. Eager to make ever more money, our leaders in higher education raised tuition to whatever felt right, and “more” always felt right.

April 27, 2019 - Have you ever wanted to go off the grid? Are you wondering if it’s the right thing to do for you and your family? Many ponder this idea and the implications, so if you’re one of those, here are three things you should take into consideration before making your decision.

McDonald’s now hiring seniors because they actually show up for work.

OAK BROOK, Illinois (PNN) - April 29, 2019 - McDonald’s is teaming up with the AARP to recruit a fleet of mature workers to meet their employment needs. Taking aim at the over-50 set, the fast food giant is looking to fill an assortment of positions ranging from early-morning shift roles all the way up to management. The work ethic of older generations is well known and is undoubtedly a pleasant change from testy teenagers and surly twenty-somethings.

KIEV, Ukraine (PNN) - April 21, 2019 - According to exit polls, millions of voters - weary of war and economic hardship - have thoroughly rebuked the incumbent elites, overwhelmingly voting for 41-year-old TV comedian Volodymyr Zelenskii in Ukraine's presidential election today.

PARIS, France (PNN) - April 19, 2019 - After 22 weekends of protest, the Yellow Vest protests show no signs of slowing down. The movement has rocked the French government. The government has made major concessions but has also launched a brutal crackdown. After weeks of repression, terrorist pig thug cop violence, and mainstream-media smears, how have these protests lasted so long? spiked spoke to Édouard Husson, dean of the Institut Franco-Allemand at the Université de Cergy-Pontoise, to find out more.

LONDON, England (PNN) - April 18, 2019 - Support for the Tories is plunging following Prime Minister Theresa May’s latest Brexit can-kick (a six-month extension until Halloween), and as cross-party talks for a Brexit compromise stall, it appears Nigel Farage’s newly formed Brexit Party is emerging as the biggest winner from all the Brexit chaos.

Will meet with Putin.

PYONGYANG, North Korea (PNN) - April 18, 2019 - So much for those photos of Kim and Pompeo standing cheerfully side by side.

One day after North Korea's Leader Kim Jong-un reportedly oversaw the test of a "new tactical guided weapon", North Korea on Thursday demanded that Secretary of State and former CIA chief Mike Pompeo should be replaced for any future negotiations with the Fascist Police States of Amerika.

April 18, 2019 - We have President Donald Trump tweeting and getting jiggy with the Saudi’s in his promise-breaking veto of Congress’s hard-won vote to end the Fascist Police States of Amerika support, munitions, supplies and military leadership in the Saudi decimation of Yemen.

I mean after 4 years, haven’t the profits already been made? Congress thought so, and in a rare move, actually did its job. Trump’s advisors, Pompous and Butthead, apparently think otherwise.

SEATTLE, Washington (PNN) - April 17, 2019 - When it comes to the kinds of technology needed to contain a sun, there are currently just two horses in the race. Neither is what you'd call “petite”.

An earlier form of fusion technology that barely made it out of the starting blocks has just overcome a serious hurdle. It's got a long way to catch up, but given its potential cost and versatility, a table-sized fusion device like this is worth anticipating.

April 10, 2019 - Illinois has the worst credit rating of any state.

It has $8 billion in outstanding bills and a $3.2 billion deficit in just next year’s budget.

But the worst part is the $250 billion they need to pay their state pensions.

When you or I have debt, the first thing we have to do is tighten the belt. We save money and cut expenses.
