I have a college grad son and a daughter currently in college. I told both of them & their friends this: If you’re assaulted on campus, tell the school, but also go to the local police. It’s a criminal matter. The school’s main mission is to protect its own interests. You need to protect yours.

Shocker. The Trump admin’s story doesn’t match reality. not even close. Trump on Mesabi Metallics’ proposed $15 BILLION steel plant in Lee County, Iowa: “They’ve already started building.” REALITY: No permits, disclosed site, or major land purchase. Financial incentives still unresolved.
