Community Agency Support: We have seven Information Tables that remain open for service providers at $25.00. This money will also go toward the cost of travel for the students. This is a great opportunity for providers to share information with parents from the community. This event is being held at the Schiller Park Senior Center on Genesee (please see attached flyer). If you are interested email Deborah Porter cs53-alumni@wobblee.com and I will forward a form for your registration and instructions on where to make payment. Why are doing this? We need your help and support. Too often our children are not afforded such opportunities because of poverty or working parents with low-income who cannot afford to send their children out of town but would love to be able to do such. This is a great opportunity to encourage our children to continually meet academic challenges, expose students to cultural activities outside of the Buffalo area and give them an opportunity to dream and believe in themselves as much as we do. Unfortunately, this will not happen without the support of the community. This is just one solution to recognizing student achievement! Please help us make it a success. Come out and support the event or purchase a picture for a parent to attend with their children. ]]>

‘Worrisome’: Ex-staffer warns new Trump administration would be stripped of key restraint
Donald Trump's second administration will find itself unable to rely on a key restraint that prevented the former president from pursuing bad federal policy during his first term, a one-time staffer warned Wednesday.
Former Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Matthews appeared on CNN to share her fears that Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, will surround himself with easily swayed staffers should he regain the White House in 2025.
"It's going to be a bunch of yes men and women who will do and say what he pleases," Matthews warned. "It's extremely worrisome because I think that competency and experience are gonna be out the window."
Matthews issued this warning on the heels of a Time Magazine exposé detailing the actions Trump hopes to take as commander in chief, among them prosecuting President Joe Biden, mass deportations and government pregnancy monitoring.
The former press secretary suggested the threat Trump presents would not be evaded should he lose the presidential election on Nov. 5.
"We know with Donald Trump that an election is only fair if he wins," Matthews said. "It almost sounded like a threat of political violence if he loses."

Matthews then argued future "yes" staffers will not be able to rely on a key tactic Trump's former White House team successfully used to dissuade him from pursuing bad policy: raising the specter of reelection.
The argument will be rendered moot by presidential term limits, she explained.
"If he is elected president again, that won't be a concern," Matthews said. "You're not really going to be able to steer him off of some of these bad policies."
Finally, Matthews expressed her outrage that Trump has suggested pardons for people convicted on criminal charges related to the Capitol riots on Jan. 6, 2021.
"He calls them hostages and patriots," Matthews said. "It's really just disgusting to me."
Trump trots out bizarre conspiracy theory about campus protests
Former President Donald Trump spent his day off from his ongoing criminal trial by floating a conspiracy theory about pro-Palestinian protests taking place on campuses across the country.
Students have been protesting Israel's war in Gaza in demonstrations that have led to police crackdowns and mass arrests, but the former president claimed Tuesday night on Fox News that "paid agitators" were spurring the movement, and the following morning he suggested the Biden administration might be involved.
“Do you think that the Radical Left Lunatics that are causing all of the CHAOS at our Colleges and Universities are doing so in order to take the FOCUS away from our Southern Border, where millions of people, many from prisons and mental institutions, are pouring into our Country?” Trump posted Wednesday morning on Truth Social. “Just askin’…???”
The protesters have expressed their anger at President Joe Biden for siding with Israel and refusing to pressure its government into negotiating an end to the war, and the president has warned the demonstrators not to engage in antisemitic "hate speech" and to remain "peaceful and lawful."

“Forcibly taking over buildings is not peaceful, it is wrong, and hate speech and hate symbols have no place in America," Biden said.
Trump has characterized the campus protests as worse than the deadly 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, saying that event that claimed the life of civil rights activist Heather Heyer was "like a peanut" compared to the recent demonstrations in support of Palestinians.
The former president will use his scheduled day off from his hush money trial in Manhattan to campaign for re-election in Michigan and Wisconsin, and he took a potshot against Biden before apparently logging off his social media website.
“Where’s SLEEPY JOE?" posted Trump, who has repeatedly dozed off during his trial. "He’s SLEEPING, that’s where!!!”
