"Akin to, and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-military posture, has been the technological revolution during recent decades. In this revolution, research has become central; it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the Federal government. Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been over shadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers. The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded. Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite." President Dwight D. Eisenhower

@libsoftiktok It's a good thing he didn't call for a peaceful protest. That would be a veiled call for violence.

@SpeakingBee @seanmdav Unless otherwise provided for, a court determines its own jurisdiction. However, Congress can, and has, set limits on jurisdiction. They should do so again.

@johnkonrad @DOGE @jonstewart I don't believe you're supposed to question Biden Administration officials in this manner. I think the rules say you have accept anything explanation they give.

@DogFacePonia Mahomes is doing it on purpose. So he can engineer a bigger comeback than Brady.

@DefiantLs This guy said it best:
Thank you Kendrick Lamar! For years I have been paralyzed stuck in a wheel chair. But when u started performing at the halftime show I gained the strength to get up and turn that trash ass music off! Thank you Mr. Lamar for all you do for the disabled community!

@TomReev18986401 @ElectionWiz You are correct about the lyrics. The tune was written in 1775 by a Brit, "To Anacreon in Heaven."
