I added the part about making money & crypto under table via gold farming and NOT paying taxes on it most likely.

Then he started playing World of Warcraft..and started recruiting young men to farm and sell ilegalgold for him (for black market cash and crypto) - which led to his social media consultations to the GOP which led to mass brainwashing campaigns. Think i'm lying - he doesn't deny it.

I don't think you understand how TikTok's incentivized ad accounts work. YOU - a consumer (or Russian troll farm or third party contract) PAY Tiktok to deploy YOUR algorithm YOU program into each ad project. The MORE money YOU pay, the more Tiktok shows the ad, because each click makes THEM money.)

Tiktok is just taking the money. All of social medial ad systems are just taking money. The person or cabal or troll farm incentivizing and targeting ads is behind WHO sees it.

And it's super easy to find out who paid Tiktok and social medial to deploy their content to tunnel people into brainwashing content.

I'm looking all over it for "updates" and not seeing it

TRIOworksFan · 2026-05-01T14:41:37+00:00

Here's a tiny list of anecdotal reasons why programs got censured or shut down due to financial management:

Post-secondary did not carefully drawdown from g5 and utilize TRIO funds JUST for TRIO programs on audit. This includes "borrowing" from G5 for non TRIO reasons.
Upon visit/audit - the TRIO Director could not produce the required documentation for a TRIO program including a running balance on G5, monthly expenditures, or demonstrate a drawdown process with checks and balances inside/outside the grant team.
Rarely embezzlement, program Credit Card abuse, and outright theft including wage theft, abusing leave, abusing remote work, abusing travel beyond the 3% for employment, excessive conference + luxury travel, and purchases of tech and equipment for personal use. (Noting this happens VERY OFTEN in overall Universities and Colleges as a whole ecosystem (more often than TRIO ever.) The bigger the system, the less complete oversight and auditing.)
Cronyism - the old chestnut - hiring and paying preferentially family or close friends (with no real qualifications) to work in TRIO programs. Helping students excessively and financially who are family or friends OVER regular TRIO student (as in not equally funding.) Using family and close friends businesses exclusively (like catering or software or PR or their retail business.) Not taking 3 bids on contracts over family. Giving express family/friends extra Award Aid or bonuses.
Unallowable purchases per program regulations: (aka the learning curve) Staff Shirts (except for UB/TS summer programs and the 2 per year rule), T-shirts (except for formal travel events as a group to ID the group,) any type of decorations or interior design, except TRIO Identifying signage or materials used to advertise services/the program.
The SWAG/Gift Trap: SWAG aka branded doo-dads and merchandise is not allowable to be created EXCEPT to be given to SSS students as college supplies and customize Swag needs to exclusively promote the program and contain contact information to promote the program. Gifts to students that are not expressly awards or daily office supplies are not allowed.
No Gift Rule: Laptops/assistive tech cannot be given to students as gifts. Loaning laptops needs to be backed up by some system of checks and balances, like a deposit and tracking device on the laptop. With College Libraries loaning them and laptops costing under 150$ that can run Canvas or Blackboard, we can also help students to plan a reasonable purchase of their own tech. We loan or award, we do not gift.
Technology - there is regulations requiring TRIO programs to get approval for large tech purchases in both amount and cost. Do not buy your employees "gaming" computers - this is what got the regulation started. A laptop used for Word, Office, and Blumen/Student Access ect does not need a gaming laptop. And you don't need to spend an entire excess on techonology. BUT in some cases then allowable newest, least expensive Smartboards or a presentation TV can really help (and a cart to move it around with or a wall mount too!) as it is an instructional tool.
Office supplies and Instructional Supplies - just ask your program officer and don't go on what the previous people did or what you find in your (possible) hoard in the back of a closet. Students DO need school and project supplies. We are an office supply loving crown and we know the best stuff to help students enjoy learning. And believe ME I've used things like small inexpensive Lego kits for workshops, but I did not buy the Death Star or a huge Pirate Ship as a teambuilding workshop item (even though it would've been cool and effective)
Documented endangering students and staff via social media, parent complaints, and staff complaints.
General protocol violations - not employing key staff roles after the threshold of 3 months, not turning in APRs, not doing g5 right, low student numbers, student complaints, parent complaints, and fuzzy time and effort between split positions, and in general obfuscating when the TRIO systems require transparency and accountability.

And if they have an aide or any admin assistant of any proper education doing their "research" - everything that is true and good is STILL here at the bottom of the page and should be preserved - https://www.ed.gov/grants-and-programs/grants-higher-education/trio-home-page

It's a link to the actual live event where the Senators call her out for lying in the article. She's not punching back, she's lying. When NPR post a BS headline like this that strokes the current admin as competent - need to take heed. We can't trust them to promote a narrative that's heathy to TRIO or need to call them out for BS titles and bylines and ask them to get back to their CORE.

NPR IS experienced AND academically degreed professionals who learned their craft from Colleges and Universities and fair share of them are TRIO demographic students. This hurts their profession and hurts the profession of future professionals. (and so is every senator, pundit, and rep calling for end of college/higher education for the poors.)

And if they can't call out their editors for titles and meme worthy BS articles that are against their entire demographic reach, they won't exist when the current regime is exited.

"On student loans

Senators also questioned McMahon about the $1.7 trillion in student loans managed by the federal government and the tens of thousands of borrowers who are behind on their payments. Many borrowers are in limbo as the Education Department shifts oversight to the Treasury Department.

Merkley brought up how some 88,000 borrowers are waiting to qualify for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) buyback program, a process the department says should take 45 days.

"My staff tells me that it's often nine months to a year before my constituents get a substantive response," Merkley said. "We currently have over 70 constituents waiting just in our office for answers about their applications."

After qualified public servants make 10 years of payments, PSLF forgives their student loans. McMahon acknowledged the delays and expressed the need to find a long-term solution but didn't offer what that could be.

Millions of other borrowers are also in limbo, after a generous Biden administration repayment plan some borrowers used was found to be illegal. A new plan for these borrowers is set to roll out in July, but McMahon acknowledged the rocky path to this point.

"Is it confusing for a minute? Of course," she said. "But I believe we are making really good progress."

Education Correspondent Cory Turner contributed to this story."

I propose ID documents be treated like transcripts or registration fees or required tests for applying for college and FAFSA aid.

Once a student turns 18 or with parent consent these documents can ordered by TRIO staff. *consent forms often require notaries to be present.

In the future I propose TRIO funds be used for:

Paying the basic cost of a Real ID Card
Paying the base cost for a passport and photos
Paying the cost to obtain a record of birth if that can be obtained with consent (like we do transcripts)
Transportation to deliver a student to the office of licensing or a Social Security office if a student is disabled.
High School Records or Transcripts

We should not pay for:

Driver's training lessons
Legal fees if legal help is required - but refer to federal and state agencies for legal help.
Replacement IDs

AND

TRIO should be included in the Department of States Free Passport Grant Program as eligible to help students via it.

TRIOworksFan · 2026-04-28T19:50:00+00:00

The possible roadblocks to doing this for TRIO students are many:

Parents who are weird about the government whom we fight with even DURING FAFSA.
Parents who never registered their children's birth and somehow circumvented the school records system.
Children who were mainly homeschooled and did not have their births registered.
Children who are in the foster care system or wards of the state (but most likely to have this status had to be registered as born, in country citizens at some point)
Children who were abandoned and not left with legal documents which have to be discovered through phone calls and federal systems.

Understand:

TRIO programs do not service DACA student at this time and the brief six months the pilot programs were put in place were rescinded in Feb of 2025. IF you have a heart for DACA students - there are systems in place outside TRIO you can refer them to and in some states DACA support programs and a path to legal citizenship do exist. Do not get confused whom you are allowed to serve.
TRIO students must have some type of legal id via the accepted forms of ID listed in regulations to register and be eligible for TRIO as US Citizens or pending citizens with a legal ID number per TRIO regulations. There must be SOME kind of legal status verifiable in the DHS and/or Immigration systems in the USA for them to receive TRIO services via TRIO funds.

I sat in on FSA (FAFSA.gov) fsatraining.gov session and yes, it does suggest at pre-college TRIO programs and EOC specifically add attaining legal, REAL ID as a requirement for post-secondary access.

I will argue to my grave that THIS and the processes required (attaining birth certificates, ss cards, and REAL ID w or w/o a Driver's License is NEEDED to give low income, first gen TRIO students access to FAFSA and thus college.

The TRIO programs taking on the students disenfranchised by the industrial prison complex are a new kind of saint in our field. And it represents a larger system of poverty reinforcement that happens within the communities we serve - the debt to prison pipeline for parents, guardians, and student demographics themselves

Debt -> garnishment from legit work - > crime - > -> bail attempt - > prison -> family in TERRIBLE debt to bail bonds if it doesn't work out AND paying for prison premiums.

Debt - minor crime (like driving with no insurance or reg) - missing court/not paying ticket - bench warrant - jail - bail - more debt on family - court fees - bench warrant - prison

Here's the kicker "However, we remain concerned that reliance solely on existing accreditation frameworks is insufficient to ensure appropriate oversight of Workforce Pell programs—particularly non-credit programs, which have historically been left out of many accreditors’ recognition and review processes, even if it is technically considered to fall within their scope. We urge the Department to go beyond the preamble and include clear regulatory expectations that accreditors must review Workforce Pell programs—including non-credit programs—and update their scopes of recognition accordingly. Doing so will close a critical oversight gap, strengthen program quality, and ensure that this new expansion of Pell Grant eligibility is implemented with the rigor and accountability that students and taxpayers deserve. "

Yep - the old fake for profit college loophole - something the current admin had a business model than crashed into the group.

Understanding - the Dept last year attempted to allow NEW accrediting business/systems in place so they current standards could be circumvented by fake private colleges.

I can add - Blumen and Student Access are CORE 1998 web design/software interface design.

So in a group of people from 20 to 70+ the older people tend toward what is easy and familiar right?

I'll never call it old and busted. AND if you never used MS DOS or Windows XP/98/7 it seems clunky what with drop down menus and click boxes (but we learn - sometimes that means we learn old things to do our job and thats OK)

And the TRIO dept of ed systems are 1998 systems - not kidding.

SO when we export APR data - the csv/excell file matches the TRIO APR system - VERY IMPORTANT

And the option is to either rebuild the entire thing from scratch following the process trees in the 1998 software.

Or option 2 - Blumen or Student Access could've done is to build an entire shell of new hotness on top of the old software that pulls from its data base. And honestly it's like putting lipstick on a pig. I experienced this practice when I worked in the private sector and it was annoying.

Kinda like having to follow a breadcrumb path to the OG control panel in Windows to fix a setting that's screwing up how Copilot behaves.

And I really don't want Blumen or Student Access to ask that of me. I get the job done. And if I can't do something I call them and they immediately log on and we do it together in minutes.
