Jehovah is Hegemony and Sovereign of all creation

taking whatever away from whoever as pleases Him.

Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, and the one who formed you from the womb, “I, the Lord, am the maker of all things, Stretching out the heavens by Myself. And spreading out the earth all alone. Humans have a method to enter heaven: By believing in God Almighty, the Father; the Son, Jesus Christ; and the Comforter, the Holy Spirit. "When will humans--finally--learn that there is one God, no matter the name, and one identity for all humanity " "A great event is coming that will wake everyone up — even the deaf, dumb, and blind."

Jehovah Strong

The LORD'S is my Shepherd,  Jesus Christ Super Star, Michael Jerel Pippen since 1949.  "God created man in his own image", I'm not black in Whiteman's game, the LORD's begotten son in His game.  King of the Angels, I bring the Sword. Joined by Wingmen Archangels Gabriel, Michael, Rafael & Armies to plow the road. The LORD put man in paradise, and  man chose the path of disobedience, opening Pandora's box upon himself. "The LORD did it for you,  now you do it for yourself."   The Holy Ghost intervene on Jehovah's behalf  for his people according to their works - when asked.  "Thus said the LORD people of color world wide shall have opportunities other that sports and entertainment."   
 

Big Fish Eat Little Fish

Never Trumps and Confederates the devil's own. The CREATOR set His face against Trumps world wide.  The yang is the same - then it was alleged Humans replacing Angels - rallies were held speakers spoke, the CREATOR watched them jump up and down culminating,
in 
Booyah. Trump's election as  President of the Confederate States indisputable identified those running with the devil. Trump, by himself, is irrelevant. However, aided by enablers do nothing Congress, Supreme Court and MAGA Republicans, he only seems invincible to the weak.

U.S. Department of Education Issues Final Rule to Hold All Colleges and Universities Accountable for Low-Earning Programs

Today, the U.S. Department of Education (the Department) announced a final rule establishing a long-overdue postsecondary education accountability framework. Under the new Student Tuition and Transparency System (STATS) and Earnings Accountability rule, undergraduate programs will be required to demonstrate that their graduates earn more than the typical high school diploma holder, and graduate programs will be required to demonstrate that their graduates earn more than the typical bachelor’s degree holder.

If a program fails to show at least this modest financial return on investment for its graduates in two out of three consecutive award years, it will lose eligibility to participate in the federal Direct Loan program. After three years of consistently failing the earnings premium measure, the Department could also terminate eligibility for Title IV of the Higher Education Act (HEA), including Pell Grant eligibility, for all of an institution's low-earning outcome programs. link

Addressed to Governor Roy Cooper, North Carolina A & T State University, the 1890 land-grant institution in your state, while producing extraordinary graduates that contribute greatly to the state’s economy and the fabric of our nation, has not been able to advance in ways that are on par with North Carolina State University at Raleigh, the original Morrill Act of 1862 land-grant institution in your state, in  large part due to unbalanced funding. Unquotable funding of the 1890 institution in your state has caused a severe financial gap, in the last 30 years alone, an additional $2,079,934,848 would have been available for the university.     Video  Link

" I am so energized by the potential of this research park, in particular the joint schools of nano technology and nano science. The world is seeing explosive growth today in the commercialization of nanotechnology.
