                    — It incorporates demographic and census data to profile high school students along a scale, from one to 100, of relative poverty, opportunity and achievement on the SAT in relation to their classmates. A score north of 50 indicates adversity; below that threshold lies privilege. Colleges will see this number, but students will not.

                  • — Among the factors that would go into the adversity index are some that are economic (proportion of students at a school who are eligible for free or reduced lunch), that reflect economic challenges (housing instability) and educational status (percentage of students who go on to college). A score would be on a scale up to 100.

                    • — Another day, another overhyped “bombshell” story related to the Russia inquiry. Like clockwork, a selective leak from the Office of Special Counsel to The Washington Post on Tuesday night detailed a letter that Robert Mueller sent to Attorney General William Barr after he sent his four-page Mueller report summary letter to Congress on March 24.
                    • Barr confirms ‘multiple criminal investigations’ in to leaks
                    • — In his first congressional appearance since the release of special counsel Robert Mueller's report on his investigation into Russian election interference, Attorney General William Barr told members of the Senate Judiciary Committee that his department is actively looking for officials who made unauthorized leaks to the media.
                    • The fate of American justice lies with William Barr
                    • — The newly sworn in attorney general, William Barr, is out there right now contemplating the level of response required to move forward.  Is he inclined to do the bare minimum to sweep this whole thing under the rug, or is he the man of integrity we've heard many proclaim him to be?  The level of impact of his future actions cannot be understated. 
                    • William Barr Reviewing Steele Dossier
                    • — Attorney General William Barr said during his Wednesday congressional testimony that he is “reviewing” the question of whether the infamous Steele dossier was part of a Russian disinformation campaign.

                    • — President Donald Trump said on Sunday that Robert Mueller “should not testify” before Congress, hours after a Democratic lawmaker confirmed that the House Judiciary Committee was still seeking to schedule a hearing with the special counsel for later this month.

He’s happy to open up and reveal himself to voters and will give a pounding to anybody who gets in his way!

                      What is Nazism? It's not what you think. The modern left would like you to believe that it is a right wing totalitarian ideology.
