Northwestern President Michael Schill released a statement Monday afternoon, saying, "This afternoon, I informed Head Football Coach Pat Fitzgerald that he was being relieved of his duties effective immediately."

Schill had previously said he may have made a mistake in the punishment handed down to Fitzgerald.

Fitzgerald was suspended for two weeks without pay, as disturbing allegations continue to emerge about hazing within the football program.

Former and current Northwestern football players have been speaking out in the wake of hazing allegations, sharing their own stories.

If the founding fathers would have known what the 2nd Amendment was going to do to our future,

they would not have included it in our ..."Bill of Rights."

My guess is that they had no idea that guns would be so widespread and do so much damage,
We are talking about very intelligent men who knew a whole lot. But they did not know ....
.......THE FUTURE.........

....IF THESE PEOPLE KNEW WHAT THE FUTURE WOULD BE, ...MY OPINION ONLY..."NO SECOND AMMENDMENT."

Has the Federal Government Done Anything to Improve Life in the U.S.A?...YES.: One Answer:

Since 1970, implementation of the Clean Air Act and technological advances from American innovators have dramatically improved air quality in the U.S. Since that time, the combined emissions of criteria and precursor pollutants have dropped by 77%.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________

You can find this answer by asking Google, "Has the Federal Government Improved Air Quality in the U.S.A.?

Quote: ................................................

"One of the best pieces of evidence supporting the Environmental Kuznets Curve and the Environmental Transition Hypothesis can be seen in air pollution in the United States. As the chart below shows, between 1970 and 2018, U.S. gross domestic product increased 275 percent, vehicle miles traveled increased 191 percent, energy consumption increased 49 percent, and U.S. population increased by 60 percent. During the same time period, total emissions of the six principal air pollutants dropped by 74 percent."

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Another Question....Who signed the first.."Clean Air Law" in 1970?"............I didn't know this crook did anything to help anyone.

............................President Richard Nixon.....................................................................................
The Clean Air Act was signed by President Richard Nixon on December 31, 1970 to foster the growth of a strong American economy and industry while improving human health and the environment..

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Wednesday that if he is elected president he would seek to close four federal agencies as part of an effort to reduce the size of government.

"We would do Education, we would do Commerce, we'd do Energy, and we would do IRS," DeSantis said in an interview with Fox News’ Martha MacCallum when he was asked whether he favored closing any agencies.

"If Congress will work with me on doing that, we'll be able to reduce the size and scope of government," he added. "If Congress won't go that far, I'm going to use those agencies to push back against woke ideology and against the leftism that we see creeping into all institutions of American life."

DeSantis’ campaign didn't immediately respond to a request for further details about his remarks.

DeSantis has sought to distinguish himself from Republican front-runner Donald Trump, in part by moving further to the right of the former president on a variety of issues. On

If we all get out and vote, DeSantis just lost any chances of getting elected to anything, anytime, anywhere! Read the 2nd paragraph, and see the light about DeSantis!!
