来自主题: USANews版 - Trump just lost the election.
the last thing Trump needs is a "safe" choice. This month's development
showed that Trump's charisma alone is not enough to win the general election
. He needs something else. Either Christie, Huckabee or Brown can fill the
bill, not a mediocre establishment politician. And yes, Pence did endorsed
Cruz by praising Trump twice in his endorsement speech...

The Democrats are right, there are two Americas . The America that works and

contribute to society and others don't.
That's the divide in America.

http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2011/08/obama_the_affirmative_action_president.html
Years from now, historians may regard the 2008 election of Barack Obama as
an inscrutable and disturbing phenomenon, a baffling breed of mass hysteria
akin perhaps to the witch craze of the Middle Ages. How, they will wonder,
did a man so devoid of professional accomplishment beguile so many into
thinking he could manage the world's largest economy, direct the world's
most powerful military, execute the ... 阅读全帖

Liberals routinely admit minorities to schools for which they are not
qualified, yet take no responsibility for the inevitable poor performance
and high drop-out rates which follow. Liberals don't care if these minority
students fail; liberals aren't around to witness the emotional devastation
and deflated self-esteem resulting from the racist policy that is
affirmative action. Yes, racist. Holding someone to a separate standard

Obama Has Lost In The Supreme Court More Than Any Modern President
ach year, Supreme Court reporters and legal pundits devise a “theme” for
the term just ended. They try to connect disparate cases into a coherent
narrative about, for example, “the court’s turn to the Left,” the “
triumph of minimalism,” or even its “libertarian moment.” Such

Any dealership can give you a discounted price if you try your best to get a
good deal, even for Audio and Bimmer. But admittedly the discount for the
current year is not very big. As for MB, its low-end models do have huge
discounts lately, which indicates that it's probably going down the mediocre
route.
You get what you're paying for. For just so-so performance low-end MB, big
discounts are actually reasonable.

For a research intensive university, your research record is mediocre to
good (depends on your discipline), but not super good; for a teaching
university, your teaching / oral English is not impressive. Considering the
recent job market and the accumulation of PhDs and Post-docs in States, I
don't think you have a very good chance. But anything could happen here - I
know a case when an applicant had similar record landed in a tier 2 regional

Most universities encourage professors to have large groups. Universities
benefits from the funding overhead. In today's environment, "doing research"
means getting money. Many "successful" professors are those who get a shit

papers. Who cares what you do, as long as you can roll in cash, you are

当你把学生分成“good ones”,“bad ones”,“mediocre ones",然后把这些人的
