TexasTowelie's JournalTrump Is In Trouble Because Judges Aren't Buying His 'MAGA Make Believe' - Ring of Fire
Donald Trump's lawyers are in a bit of a pickle right now, as they have little choice but to go along with Donald Trump's fantasy world while the judges overseeing their cases continue to tell them to knock it off. But Trump won't let them do that, so they have to continue to try to either defend or downplay the absolutely outrageous claims that the former president has made over the last month and a half. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains why that won't work for Donald or his lawyers.
Russia under pressure as thousands of military-age men have been leaving the country - DW News
The European Union's Frontex border control agency said 66,000 Russians have entered the EU in the past week. This represents a 30% increase compared with the previous week, according to the agency. It said that most of the crossings were occurring at the Finnish and Estonian sections of the border. According to Frontex, most arrivals had visas, residence permits or dual citizenship. Frontex predicted that illegal border crossings could increase if the Kremlin decides to close Russia's borders for potential conscripts. Thousands of military-age men have been leaving Russia since President Vladimir Putin announced a "partial" mobilization last week.

A small university to close with little warning. It blames the Education Department for its end.
Virginia-based Stratford University offered courses in business administration, culinary arts and nursing and was one of roughly two dozen schools approved to receive federal money by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools. The Education Department, however, stripped ACICS of its power to accredit universities in August because it didn't meet government standards.
Because many for-profit colleges rely on federal aid to stay in business, losing access to that money can be a death sentence. A Friday email from Stratford President Richard Shurtz to students said the government barred the college from recruiting new students and required the school to post a “large letter of credit” – essentially collateral – before the institution could receive additional federal money.
“Sadly, these conditions made it impossible to continue in operation,” Shurtz wrote in an email obtained by USA TODAY. “Without new students, we would not have sufficient cash flow to operate. We will be forced to close operations at the end of this term at all locations.”
The federal government said institutions approved by ACICS, which won't appeal and has begun shutting down, would have 18 months to find a new accreditor if they wanted to keep receiving federal funding.
