Did Indiana Become a Changed State Under Daniels???

Is it really so?  Or is Mitch Daniels legacy just the mirage of a centrist Republican continuing the power hold and the "correct" flow of money?  What values were actually changed by Daniels?  The following article, reviewing the past two terms of Daniels Governship, make claims to many substantive changes in Indiana.  But is his only real change is to put "Republicans" in power?  Where are the conservative values?

Indiana a changed state under 8 years of Daniels.

Regrettably, most of Governor Daniels changes have been of the type that keep moderate Republicans in power but in reality do not change any of the underlying values of the voters.

Comments By Readers for Freedom of Speech at Purdue

The following are some early comments from citizens of NWI about PUC reaching an American decision.  Read some of these to see how Hoosiers really feel about their Constitution.  They would never sell it out to a "feel good" political correctness.

Now,instead of inciting her anti-Jewish protesters, the ring leader of this charade, Wala Issa, can go back to selling her cheaply made "gangsta" clothing to minorities who can't afford it.

Stop in and say "Hello."

House ethics panel investigating Visclosky with Purdue. Merriville Technology Center in Graft

I broke this story over five years ago.  That included Visclosky's theft in colusion with Purdue University and Whitco Industries.
House ethics panel investigating Visclosky.

Now everyone has to admit it is true.  Purdue and Visclosky tried to destroy me personally with attacks by the President and Vice President of Purdue against me personally and harrassing me sexually and religiously.   The President, Jischke, has retired but he should still be investigated for his role in this corruption and why he abruptly resigned from Purdue University.  The fact is as I have pointed out before, he should be in jail after being indicted by a Federal grand jury.  The Vice-President Rollock must be fired for attacking me and attempting to cover up the theft by Visclosky and JIschke.  All the evidence indicates that she was in collusion with the powers destroy me personally and professionally so that I would stop complaining about Visclosky's bogus use of Federal Tax Dollars.

Finally the truth comes out that Visclosky and Purdue's president Jiscke are tied as thieves through the Purdue Foundation.

When is the current President going to come clean on the theft by the Purdue Foundation and Visclosky through the Merriville Technology Center?  Visclosky worked for Whitco Industries with the assistance of Purdue University Foundation to steal over $7 million from the taxpayer.  This was all part of a plan to enrich the Foundation, President Jischke, and Whitco Industries, which it did.

Remember the Purdue Foundation is like the East Chicago Foundations not open to public scrutiny.   Even though Purdue is a public institution the Foundation is closed.  Just like East Chicago and they steal and enrich themselves in the same way.

Visclosky needs to be voted out of office and the Indiana State Legislature take a close look at how the Purdue Foundation has been stealing money under false pretense from the Hoosier Tax payers.

PUC vs IUN in Federal Court

Recently, I have become familiar with a system called PACER, which is a means of accessing, electronically, court documents associated with the federal courts.  So I decided to do a little compare and contrast.  Just how many Federal lawsuits have been filed against PUC (either the University itself or University administrative individuals) while Howard Cohen has been Chancellor versus the number filed while Bruce Bergland has been Chancellor of IUN.

I'm ecstatically proud to announce that Purdue University Calumet wins hands down with a 10 to 1 score!  And since Bergland came to IUN in 1999 and Cohen came to PUC in 2001 -- Cohen has managed to overtake Bergland in the alleged violation of rights in two less years! Gooooo TEAM Cohen!

All Hoosiers should be very proud of Team Cohen.  Achieving ten lawsuits is a great and difficult achievement.  And, if there were settlements before court filings, the list may even be more impressive.  Remember, this is all at the expense of Hoosier taxpayer monies and student tuition money -- all for the advancement of education.  Go Team Cohen!!!

Now, let me be clear, all I have done is a simple electronic search via the PACER system.  I have not looked either at the Lake County Court docket or any other docket. But if the record at the Federal level is consistent with any record at the county and State level, it sure is a proud day for those of us associated with PUC and its Chancellor Howard Cohen who is successfully most successful in the useful expenditure of tax payer money.

For the curious, here are the cases of which I was able to obtain some form of electronic document (be patient, some of these files may take a bit of time to load):

Purdue University Shows its "Political Correctness"

It is one of the most cataclysmic events of our nation's history, but it went completely un-noticed by one of our State's publically supported institutions of higher learning, Purdue University.  The best that I can tell, system wide, no official or University organized effort was made to remember the events of September 11, 2001.  There was certainly nothing done at the Calumet campus.  I cannot even say if the flags were flown at half-mast.  There were no ceremonies, no speeches, no discussion, no prayers for the victims, absolutely nothing. 

While Purdue was actively ignoring 9/11, real Hoosiers, like the high school students in Chesterton placed 2,977 American flags in front of their school to memorialize the victims, saying we remember.  In NWI, Valparaiso, Schererville, Indiana University Northwest, and others had ceremonies honoring the fallen and the brave of 9/11.

But not Purdue.  Nothing at all from the new President or the University at large.  The only "event" that happened was an e-mail sent to everyone by an individual faculty member on his own initiative.  This is the email with my response to all the faculty and staff: Remembering_9_11.mht

This was the sum total of all the "memorializing" of the victims of September 11, 2001 by Purdue University.  I am surprised that the University administration did not quote some rule saying that this was an "inappropriate" use of the University's email system.

Maybe it just was not viewed as "politically correct" to remember 9/11 and to honor its victims, so Purdue just didn't bother. 

The Indiana Legislature has a law that University faculty in Indiana, whether they are citizens or not, must sign a commitment of allegiance to the United States and Indiana Constitution.  The law is clearly stated in: Indiana_code_20120_6_faculty_oath.htm. 

The oath is a basic affirmation of American citizenship:

"I solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the constitution of the United States of America, the constitution of Indiana and the laws of the United States and of Indiana, and will, by precept and example, promote respect for the flag and the institutions of the United States and of Indiana, reverence for law and order and undivided allegiance to the government of the United States."

Everyone should be honored to agree to this.  Maybe if Indiana enforced its own laws and required every faculty member and administrator to sign this oath, Purdue would have had individuals with enough pride, courage, and respect for the United States to have actually done something to commemorate the anniversary of 9/11.
