					<description><![CDATA[Philanthropy eventually does pay attention to where it&#039;s money is being used.  But the rich really are different.  Unless their paid agent does something like swim in DEI or join October 7 festivities, they don&#039;t actually pay attention.  The rest of us are more aware of how our hard earned money is used.

Now the time has some for the us all to be able to use the levers of actual government with OUR money.

You WOULD donate $20 to build the wall or bus tickets.  Send  it to  

Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts
P.O. Box 13528, Capitol Station
Austin, Texas 78711-3528

Make your check...
Payee: “ZELLE: WilmingtonDE@CPA.Texas.gov”
Memo: “VOID after 21 days&quot;

Glenn Hegar, the elected Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, can make a single phone call and create a Texas state bank account. It is important to note that said account would be subject to legal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests for public auditing. Trivial enough. But what does that have to do with the border situation?

ZELLE is the key. It is a peer-to-peer payment service that allows individuals to send and receive money from each other via connected bank accounts.

Accounts could then be implemented to buy bus tickets for illegal immigrants using emails like:
NYCbus@CPA.Texas.gov
FairfaxVA@CPA.Texas.Gov
Queens@CPA.Texas.gov (AOC needs it!)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Many years ago, I went to a function for my alma mater&#039;s alumni, and they made a presentation about where the university&#039;s funds came from.  This was long before DIE, &quot;woke,&quot; or anything &lt;em&gt;organized &lt;/em&gt;along those lines.  There were student tuition, fees, housing, etc.  There were government sources.  There were research source, including government not listed in the previous line item.  Among the line items were donations, including alumni donations, and that was a significant and growing source of the university&#039;s funding.  

Withholding donations is not a minor thing to university&#039;s, these days.  As they said in their presentation, you may think your donation is small, but it adds up to a large part of the university&#039;s operating expenses.  Larger donors are even more important to them, especially since a public letter like this gets attention from all the other donors, large and small.  

However, DIE advocates are willing to weather such problems.  They have their priorities, and a well run institution does not seem to be on that list.  From Lindseth&#039;s letter: 
&lt;blockquote&gt;With my writing of this letter, an increasing number of Cornell alumni are refusing to continue donating to their alma mater. Unfortunately, President Pollack and her administration have refused to engage with concerned alumni and their sound policy recommendations to correct Cornell’s course.&lt;/blockquote&gt; 

So, the question that will be answered this year is: &quot;do the Regents care about funding, alumni opinion, and reputation, or do they favor the woke crowd?&quot;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[People have had enough. 

   &quot;The wide-sweeping proposal requires that diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, offices at the state’s eight public colleges and universities, specifically, be reframed.
