Boasberg has a long history of treachery. He actually should be hanged rather than just impeached and imprisoned. He was the FISA court judge that approved the fraudulent Carter Paige surveillance warrant that started the whole Russia collusion hoax to begin with. He tried to take part in a coup against our democratically-elected President!
I had not heard that he was part of the FISA court!!! AND WHY has NO ONE been prosecuted for submitting FALSE info to FISA or why has Boasberg not been prosecuted (or something) for approving without adequate documentation!!
Why indeed! And he keeps coming up in so many cases. The random selection process just seems to always keep "randomly" selecting him for cases involving Trump. Our judiciary are so corrupt it is shameful.
As an operations manager I was on the front lines of introducing automation to our work staff. Beyond even the simple reboot issue, the most common problem was finding out the employee had not plugged his device into the electrical outlet! Those were pretty easy fixes!
Talarico shares a bank account with his mother! The Democrats are such complete and total losers, communists all, they will live and die by the DEI sword. I love it that Obama‘s hideous bookless library has been almost completely ignored because of the World Cup and the upcoming 250th American birthday! I wish millions more people saw him in 2008 as the Muslim communist he is instead of falling for his BS all these years.
Platner is an outlier and just the latest weirdo to look to politics for an income. But Talinutso is freaking crazy. That guy makes Beto look almost smart.
My hubby worked in an IT job and his group was instructed, at 4:59PM on a Friday to update the outgoing message on the Help Desk. So they came up with: "XYZ Group Help Desk, We're not happy till you're not happy!"
The boss let them know what he thought of that on Monday morning. 🤣
I had a similar experience yesterday. Wi-Fi became extremely slow while my wife complained about it. Rebooted the router with no luck. Talked to tech support and they said to reboot the extender in my office. I had completely forgotten about it because my computer was working fine. Except mine had a hardwired ethernet port. The Wi-Fi was locked up. Problem was right under my nose (actually my feet).
The real problem is the miss use of our judicial system. It’s called ‘lawfare.’ War waged primarily by the evil party, aided by Leftist jurists to thwart the will of the people. Our justice system is as crooked as is our election system and both are essentially controlled by the Marxist/Democrat/Hate America Party aided and abetted by the propaganda arm of that party called the main stream media.
But Jordan is sure to get right to the bottom of it when he does. He must be waiting for his sports jacket to arrive or else he's crafting another very sternly-worded letter. But he's on the case!
Jordan is a decent guy working in a group of fellow members with no ability to create a consensus on anything. The GOP has terrible leadership in both Houses, and reflects a decades old ability to get nothing done while scurrying around like mice on a block of cheese. He is a good legislator working in a dysfunctional Congress.
When you think about it, Marlan, is there anything that they don't corrupt? I am serious. I see nothing of value ever being provided by any of them, at least nothing of a positive value.
The Constitution does not make every immigration dispute a lifetime litigation ticket. Due process matters, but so does congressional text, executive authority, and the consent of the governed. Voters elected Trump to deport, secure the border, and end the asylum-and-delay racket that turned illegal entry into a strategy. Judges do not get to convert statutory enforcement into “Mother may I?” government because activist groups dislike the outcome. The right answer is simple: lawful immigrants respected, citizens protected, illegal aliens removed under law, and courts restrained from turning emergency injunctions into a shadow veto over national policy.
I try to keep it simple and give them the exact same due process they sought when they evaded our border enforcement and illegally entered our country. They didn't want it then, and they don't get it now. They should consider themselves fortunate to still have the ability to breathe.
The overtly socialist/communists own NYC so it is time to wall it in and rename the shithole Palestine after the mythical state they seek. Then cut off all funding to any school that allows a free palestine demonstration even if it is one person acting alone .
Try as I may, I cannot wrap my head around the concept of "due process" for non-citizens (aka, aliens) who enter the country illegally, hence the term "illegal alien". The only process they are due is to be captured and transported back across the border. And forget flying them to Africa if they came from there (seriously, who paid for the travel, surely not the illegals, but I digress). Take them across the Mexican border and drop them off if that's where they came in. Mexico allowed them to transit their nation (again, who paid?), Mexico can deal with them.
While I understand your feelings, I must object. Due process should include a chance to submit documents proving that the suspected illegal is legal. One such document could be an approval of immigration issued by a body charged with this (usually an American consulate in the immigrant's home country). Legal immigrants would not discard such documents, another of which could be proof of legal entry through an American border checkpoint, usually by a stamp in the immigrant's passport; another would be proof of naturalization; and I'm sure there are more possibilities yet of showing that the person had arrived in an officially prescribed manner, say, thanks to a special US government program that admitted people with specialized, needed skills, or who were at risk of persecution in their home country; one example that comes to mind would be the admittance of Vietnamese who had cooperated with American forces during that war; and there must be others ...
I agree that the legal process matters. It is the only thing separating us from anarchy. But the present process is so full of loopholes and contradictions it is laughable. Congress gets the credit for that mess. But there has to be some reasonable way to separate the legitimate from the corrupt. Every one of us carries ID that readily can prove our citizenship, even liberals. This isn’t difficult but we make it so. I don’t give a damn why someone sneaked, walked, or vaulted the border of our country. If you are not a citizen, your butt should be out of here without spending millions in our tax dollars to remove you. I have wondered for years why so many Hispanics from south of the border, who purportedly love their country, would rather leave it than stay and fix it. Yet they come here illegally, take jobs, use and abuse our system, and proudly display the emblem of their home country on their car, bought with US dollars. Are these people really the ones we need to make our country better? Just how many dish washers and house cleaners and lawn mowers do we need?
"Every one of us carries ID that readily can prove our citizenship". I just looked at my driver's license, which would be the main piece of ID most people carry, and it neither lists my birthplace nor my citizenship. My passport does include that information, but like most people I don't carry it except when going abroad.
Further, according to Google, "No U.S. state routinely prints the driver's specific birthplace on a standard driver's license, though some display your present nationality (citizenship status) or allow you to use a birth certificate to prove it."
Do you know anybody who always carries their birth certificate? It's not made for that; after a few years it will fall apart.
On the other hand, a small start toward improvement has occurred in a handful states that provide Enhanced Driver's Licenses (EDL): "Five states (Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Vermont, and Washington) offer EDLs to U.S. citizens. These cards explicitly indicate U.S. nationality and feature a U.S. flag. They are REAL ID-compliant and act as a passport alternative for land and sea border crossings." I doubt that foreign countries will accept EDLs, but for domestic documentation it's a start.
In summary, most Americans' driver's licenses do NOT prove their nationality. That may change, of course, but we're not there yet; and we know darn well that some states have been freely granting driver's licenses, even semi-truck licenses, to people who didn't know a word of English.
This is getting a bit long, but you complain about the people who leave their poorly-performing country of origin in order to come to the US. It is hardly irrational for people to do such a thing; my town has a sizable population of Mexican origin, which is especially prominent in all kinds of construction businesses. That's very useful work! We need housing, and less expensive housing! And the cost of housing will only go down as the supply goes up.
And why did all those Mexicans (and others from south of the border) come to the US? THE ANSWER: Bad politics that birthed bad economies. All of Latin America has long been plagued by political instability, which in turn can infect and depress their economies. It hard to make sizable investments when a businessman cannot be sure that a favorable government will not be followed by an awful one that will seize or harm his bsusiness; and I should not need to cite examples! This is an important point that proves the absolute superiority of the United States' political system. That system relied heavily on the work of Anglo-Saxon philosophers and social scientists, which the Hispanic world lacked -- and was transferred across the Atlantic, with improvements. For instance, while the Founders adopted many good British ideas, they insisted on a written Constitution, not an unwritten one like the Brits still have.
But why the difference between the Anglo-Saxon system and the Hispanic one? It's a sad, and probably unintended, fact of history. For many, many centuries, until 1494 when Columbus sailed the ocean blue, Spain had been on a permanent wartime footing, gradually driving its Muslim conquerors back to North Africa. Under such conditions it's improbable and unlikely that a flourishing political theory can develop which carries the ingredients for stable government.
You misinterpreted my meaning. A very quick check of the FBI database by any police officer can confirm one’s citizenship. Likewise, most public agencies have the same capability thru the State Dept database. My point in all this is that certainly within an hour, virtually anyones identity can be checked for citizenship. Any citizens entire life is available for review by authorities if they have access to the right database. Sorry if I wasn’t clear in my original comment.
I guess that proves the infrequency of my involvement with law enforcement -- not altogether a bad thing. But thanks for that info -- which leaves me wondering if the so-called "Sanctuary" states take advantage of it.
Total agreement Redd as I too am sick of the flags of their home nations showing up in protest get togethers , do not mind if the STARS AND STRIPES are on top of the pole which is never seen at a protest. jmho
Yes, this just makes absolutely no sense. We are not a country of unlimited resources. Our ancestors fought and died for the right to be a free American. Why the heck are so many citizens of so many countries unwilling to fight to take back their countries? This is not about firearms or not having them. This is about ignorance and unwillingness to fight for a better world to live in. These are not the people we want for the future of America. They are just cheap labor and free loaders. If we are so concerned about legal rights, why does it not apply first to our own citizens and taxpayers? More and more I see that our federal system is owned, not by taxpayer/voters, but by big money and people with little regard for the future of America. Frankly, a Boy Scout troop could make better decisions and get more done than our Congress.
Exactly!!!!! Mexico let them pass all the way through their country because they knew the target was America. Let them escort them all the way back, or whatever else they choose to do with them. Not our problem, man!
It would be incredible to think that anyone could cross the border and still needed to be approved for full citizenship had the rights to representation and legal representation that the Democrats want to extend to every single person after letting thousands and thousands across the border largely unvetted, this is just an incredible goof...
It's time for Trump to start running those traffic lights. I forget which president it was, I think Andrew Jackson, who said after being thwarted by his Supreme Court and choosing to ignore them, "how many divisions does the court have and let's see them use them!" But our feckless congress would chomp at the bit to use that as an excuse to impeach Trump again.
Anyone remember TrumpRX? That is The President’s effort to reduce prescription prices. I have been using Canada Pharmacy to buy one of my prescriptions from Canada. I checked Out Mark Cuban’s Cost Plus Pharmacy, one of the plans promoted on TrumpRX. Last Quarter my prescription medications cost just over $300, my order this quarter is just 37% of that.
The medication I ordered from them was manufactured in India and shipped to me through Singapore. I will update when I find out wherever the Cost Plus med is manufactured
Since Trump has been telling me he's reducing the price of prescriptions, the important ones I take have almost doubled in price. I hope they quit trying to help me!
There are a couple of answers. The easy one would be to have Congress limit the scope of court decisions...something already in the Constitution. For example. rule that judges can not block audits of election rolls.
The second would be to make judges RESPONSIBLE for their decisions. One moron judge just ruled FOR THE WHOLE COUNTRY that illegals could not be arrested at court houses. If an illegal gets away and then commits a crime, the judge should serve the same amount of time. And if that means another judge reduces the sentence then BOTH of them will serve THE LONGEST AMOUNT OF TIME THAT CAN BE SENTENCED FOR THE CRIME. In the more egregious cases, let the judge's kids and then grandkids go to prison to finish up the sentences but start it based on the notion of death at 75. So if a judge is 60 and is sentenced to 50 years in prison, his oldest kid would serve 35. And of course we might have a lot of crimes committed based on idiot sentencing since judges are quick to make overreaching decisions. Wouldn't it be great television to have his daughter in a woman's prison speaking by phone to him about his ruining her life? Make judges responsible. Right now, THEY ARE ABOVE THE LAW IN TERMS OF DECISIONS.
No. We would pay a real lot and the bureaucrats would steal most of the money, create laws to protest those fishes and then charge us again for daring to touch their precious fish.
Remember: Bureaucracy means means "rules by the desks," meaning the clerks who have delusions of sanity.
As a description of this, "a little overheated" doesn't come close. For example, making an offender's entire family liable for his crimes is only done in the world's worst dictatorships ...
I would settle for any punishment for certain treasonous persons ala Clapper and everyone [51] signing the hoover/hunter letter, maybe just an indictment ?
The District of Columbia is the city of our federal government, so Trump as government's chief executive should also be the mayor of the federal city. Great idea!
Western civilization is in a death fight. Western nations must expel the invaders or die. It's as simple as that. Normal people, as opposed to the elite so-called leaders, innately know what's at stake. They feel and see the threat to their families and countries every day. The latest move by EU countries to reverse the invasion is the expression of preference by the people. Behind every such story of citizens reclaiming their countries is Trump who is leading the world to a better day. He has proclaimed, "There will be no more going along with managed decline and destruction." He has declared a battle to restore the concepts of culture, freedom and merit in everyday life. People around the world are responding to that call. *** Remember that the EU Constitution was not adopted by the people. It was imposed upon them by the corrupt elite bureaucrats. Example: Irish citizens were repeatedly denied a vote on the EU Constitution. Then they were forced to vote multiple times until they it "got it right." Germans didn't get to vote at all. Now the unarmed people who are denied freedom of speech, are rising up despite the risks. Bravo to them. If the mislead citizens of the world would come to the US to see the alternative lifestyle available to them, they might be invigorated to fight harder.
My Mommy and his progressive slate, swept the Democrat primaries in New York City.So now my mother that memes that they will be elected in the general election as is normally the case for democrats in that city or whether , moderate democrats are going to join Republicans to put a stop to this nonsense
Exactly correct. I graduated from high school in 1969 and that was the beginning of a massive downward spiral. Eliminate the dress code, encourage the kids to experiment with their sexuality instead of cautioning them that they're not old enough or financially responsible to deal with the consequences, have the teachers be friends with the students, drop rigorous requirements and prerequisites for higher level programs, and most importantly, legalize abortion so you create a culture of death. Our massive decline is not an accident, it was planned.
I agree with most of your comment but must take mild exception to your last sentence for two reasons.
First, the passionate left who drove most of these “reforms” are not particularly bright in the first place and this is made worse by the emotional swamp they wallow in. Their proposals are always driven by love and caring. Heh. They are simply not capable of nefarious long term planning over decades.
Second, the left do not understand the iron law of unintended consequences. They propose a policy for what appear to be compassionate reasons, such as eliminating a dress code because it seems oppressive to the students. Then when it goes wrong, as it always does, they propose amendments that ultimately make things worse.
And here we are.
Time to harden up, bring back the adults, and accept the need for tough love.
I recall Rush & others saying that the DEM's do indeed play the long game - once they have an objective, they keep trying until it's achieved - no matter how long it takes - 5, 10, 20 years. While the GOP just reacts to the DEM's.
The Constitution is silent on it which means it has no power regarding it, but nothing prohibits the states from assuming its administration. I believe the First Amendment's prohibition against government establishing religion applies because education cannot be effectively provided unless it is within a context of values. All of our original colleges were formed as religious schools (like Harvard and Princeton). You learn facts but you need the context of how they apply to our lives. And our government schools do indeed teach within the context that government should serve as the central organizing principle in all of our lives. That should be prohibited.
True - The Lib's worship on the altar of GOVT - that's their religion, with the 1st sacrament being abortion. Whenever I tell that to a LIBTARD, they get triggered. You cannot say that you believe in GOD if you're are a LIBTARD.
Well, the economy is of scale of government provision of education afe undeniable.So is the crushing burden of responsibility that government has not been able to step up to, in orfer 2 provide a high enough level of education for every citizen
Government could if we outlawed teachers unions who purposely attempt to thwart education in pursuit of mind control aka brain washing starting in pre k.
It's important to note that it was Obama's purposefully fomented Arab Spring in 2009 that began the mass migration from North Africa into Europe. The entire escapade was engineered by the globalist cabals to weaken and dilute western countries (aka Western Civilization). The same has been done in our country starting back with GW Bush who was definitely a proponent of open borders and mass amnesty. The beautiful people who know much better than any of us decided long ago that nation states and individual sovereignty were anachronisms and must be eliminated to let the new world order take reign.
Jia Cobb didn't "get it wrong", she intentionally and maliciously chose to screw America. Not Trump, America, every person who is a citizen. Make her house a holding center for the invaders and make sure she's there with them. Maybe house Somali tyrants.
There were two whistleblowers early on who sounded the alarm about unfettered, open-border immigration: here in the U.S. it was Patrick J. Buchanan & across the pond British Parlimentarian Enoch Powell. “Polite society” at the time treated both as pariahs.
If you look up a picture of this judge you’ll know exactly why she was appointed. Same with that Trinidad born judge as well.
I also looked up a picture of Boasberg and and something between a weasel and a cockroach appeared.
Boasberg has a long history of treachery. He actually should be hanged rather than just impeached and imprisoned. He was the FISA court judge that approved the fraudulent Carter Paige surveillance warrant that started the whole Russia collusion hoax to begin with. He tried to take part in a coup against our democratically-elected President!

Why indeed! And he keeps coming up in so many cases. The random selection process just seems to always keep "randomly" selecting him for cases involving Trump. Our judiciary are so corrupt it is shameful.
Nice.
On a personal note...
While in the work force, I had occasion one day to call the IT help desk for a similar problem.
The technician's first question was 'did you try to reboot?'
Well, no. I did and problem solved while the tech was still on the phone.
Embarrassed I expressed what an idiot I was.
'Not to worry.' It turned out and he shared that he solved 80-90% of his calls with that as the first question asked.
I wanted to work at the Help Desk.
Today's poll the only possible answer is #5.
Yes.
As an operations manager I was on the front lines of introducing automation to our work staff. Beyond even the simple reboot issue, the most common problem was finding out the employee had not plugged his device into the electrical outlet! Those were pretty easy fixes!
Power to the people and their computers...
I like “Yes.”
It sounds like the answer
to a Jeopardy question: “Which one would you rather see lose in the midterms: Platner or Talarico?”
Talarico shares a bank account with his mother! The Democrats are such complete and total losers, communists all, they will live and die by the DEI sword. I love it that Obama‘s hideous bookless library has been almost completely ignored because of the World Cup and the upcoming 250th American birthday! I wish millions more people saw him in 2008 as the Muslim communist he is instead of falling for his BS all these years.
I know. In 30 seconds right?
Jimmy T because that race is closer to home. The lad is so far over his head to border nonsense.
I get text messages for funding. I don't know how. I reply with links to the spam I get for ED.
Laughing so hard at that solution!
Seriously. Like I am going to send him money for his campaign. DUH or DOH?
I kinda don't mind when some leftist sends me a money beg.
It just goes to show that they are in that well-known stupid bubble and have no idea who their voters are.
Shades of many new dem/donkey super novae they all are tied to apron strings Mamdani forward.
Platner is an outlier and just the latest weirdo to look to politics for an income. But Talinutso is freaking crazy. That guy makes Beto look almost smart.
Rd, All you need to know...
Platner:works for his mother supplying oysters.

Yup. Snakes eat rats.

Spot on.
So how does Trump get around them. Declare a national emergency?
At this point, considering the primary results in NY last night, that may the only option.
The overtly socialist/communists own NYC so it is time to wall it in and rename the shithole Palestine after the mythical state they seek. Then cut off all funding to any school that allows a free palestine demonstration even if it is one person acting alone .

Yes, this just makes absolutely no sense. We are not a country of unlimited resources. Our ancestors fought and died for the right to be a free American. Why the heck are so many citizens of so many countries unwilling to fight to take back their countries? This is not about firearms or not having them. This is about ignorance and unwillingness to fight for a better world to live in. These are not the people we want for the future of America. They are just cheap labor and free loaders. If we are so concerned about legal rights, why does it not apply first to our own citizens and taxpayers? More and more I see that our federal system is owned, not by taxpayer/voters, but by big money and people with little regard for the future of America. Frankly, a Boy Scout troop could make better decisions and get more done than our Congress.
Exactly!!!!! Mexico let them pass all the way through their country because they knew the target was America. Let them escort them all the way back, or whatever else they choose to do with them. Not our problem, man!
It makes too much sense. But I completely agree with you
If it is reasonable and logical some robed asshat will issue a ruling consisting of bovine scat denying its usage.
It would be incredible to think that anyone could cross the border and still needed to be approved for full citizenship had the rights to representation and legal representation that the Democrats want to extend to every single person after letting thousands and thousands across the border largely unvetted, this is just an incredible goof...
Truth !
The courts' delays have turned Trump's triumphant return into waiting at a looonnng traffic light when you are late to an important appointment.
It's time for Trump to start running those traffic lights. I forget which president it was, I think Andrew Jackson, who said after being thwarted by his Supreme Court and choosing to ignore them, "how many divisions does the court have and let's see them use them!" But our feckless congress would chomp at the bit to use that as an excuse to impeach Trump again.
Was that when he abolished the Second Bank of America? Best thing he ever did.
Well put!
Anyone remember TrumpRX? That is The President’s effort to reduce prescription prices. I have been using Canada Pharmacy to buy one of my prescriptions from Canada. I checked Out Mark Cuban’s Cost Plus Pharmacy, one of the plans promoted on TrumpRX. Last Quarter my prescription medications cost just over $300, my order this quarter is just 37% of that.

I think "Canada Pharmacy" is India...
The medication I ordered from them was manufactured in India and shipped to me through Singapore. I will update when I find out wherever the Cost Plus med is manufactured
Since Trump has been telling me he's reducing the price of prescriptions, the important ones I take have almost doubled in price. I hope they quit trying to help me!
Check the Costplus link
There are a couple of answers. The easy one would be to have Congress limit the scope of court decisions...something already in the Constitution. For example. rule that judges can not block audits of election rolls.
The second would be to make judges RESPONSIBLE for their decisions. One moron judge just ruled FOR THE WHOLE COUNTRY that illegals could not be arrested at court houses. If an illegal gets away and then commits a crime, the judge should serve the same amount of time. And if that means another judge reduces the sentence then BOTH of them will serve THE LONGEST AMOUNT OF TIME THAT CAN BE SENTENCED FOR THE CRIME. In the more egregious cases, let the judge's kids and then grandkids go to prison to finish up the sentences but start it based on the notion of death at 75. So if a judge is 60 and is sentenced to 50 years in prison, his oldest kid would serve 35. And of course we might have a lot of crimes committed based on idiot sentencing since judges are quick to make overreaching decisions. Wouldn't it be great television to have his daughter in a woman's prison speaking by phone to him about his ruining her life? Make judges responsible. Right now, THEY ARE ABOVE THE LAW IN TERMS OF DECISIONS.
If wishes were fishes we would feed the homeless !
No. We would pay a real lot and the bureaucrats would steal most of the money, create laws to protest those fishes and then charge us again for daring to touch their precious fish.
Remember: Bureaucracy means means "rules by the desks," meaning the clerks who have delusions of sanity.
As a description of this, "a little overheated" doesn't come close. For example, making an offender's entire family liable for his crimes is only done in the world's worst dictatorships ...
I would settle for any punishment for certain treasonous persons ala Clapper and everyone [51] signing the hoover/hunter letter, maybe just an indictment ?
The Abominable DC Circuit Court should be abolished.
DC as its own city should be broken up, downsized, and under the control of the executive….
The District of Columbia is the city of our federal government, so Trump as government's chief executive should also be the mayor of the federal city. Great idea!
Yep!
And it doesn’t need its own courts or judges. Superfluous and dangerous.
Western civilization is in a death fight. Western nations must expel the invaders or die. It's as simple as that. Normal people, as opposed to the elite so-called leaders, innately know what's at stake. They feel and see the threat to their families and countries every day. The latest move by EU countries to reverse the invasion is the expression of preference by the people. Behind every such story of citizens reclaiming their countries is Trump who is leading the world to a better day. He has proclaimed, "There will be no more going along with managed decline and destruction." He has declared a battle to restore the concepts of culture, freedom and merit in everyday life. People around the world are responding to that call. *** Remember that the EU Constitution was not adopted by the people. It was imposed upon them by the corrupt elite bureaucrats. Example: Irish citizens were repeatedly denied a vote on the EU Constitution. Then they were forced to vote multiple times until they it "got it right." Germans didn't get to vote at all. Now the unarmed people who are denied freedom of speech, are rising up despite the risks. Bravo to them. If the mislead citizens of the world would come to the US to see the alternative lifestyle available to them, they might be invigorated to fight harder.
My Mommy and his progressive slate, swept the Democrat primaries in New York City.So now my mother that memes that they will be elected in the general election as is normally the case for democrats in that city or whether , moderate democrats are going to join Republicans to put a stop to this nonsense
Seth and the BEE made a meme about the coming civil war here in the U.S. . nuff said !
Maybe reading tests with comprehension exercises should be part of the review process kinda like we had to do in grade school
I think the 60's radicals & DEI killed rigorous education standards.
Exactly correct. I graduated from high school in 1969 and that was the beginning of a massive downward spiral. Eliminate the dress code, encourage the kids to experiment with their sexuality instead of cautioning them that they're not old enough or financially responsible to deal with the consequences, have the teachers be friends with the students, drop rigorous requirements and prerequisites for higher level programs, and most importantly, legalize abortion so you create a culture of death. Our massive decline is not an accident, it was planned.
I agree with most of your comment but must take mild exception to your last sentence for two reasons.
First, the passionate left who drove most of these “reforms” are not particularly bright in the first place and this is made worse by the emotional swamp they wallow in. Their proposals are always driven by love and caring. Heh. They are simply not capable of nefarious long term planning over decades.
Second, the left do not understand the iron law of unintended consequences. They propose a policy for what appear to be compassionate reasons, such as eliminating a dress code because it seems oppressive to the students. Then when it goes wrong, as it always does, they propose amendments that ultimately make things worse.
And here we are.
Time to harden up, bring back the adults, and accept the need for tough love.
I recall Rush & others saying that the DEM's do indeed play the long game - once they have an objective, they keep trying until it's achieved - no matter how long it takes - 5, 10, 20 years. While the GOP just reacts to the DEM's.
No wonder I agree with you so much.Robert Brusca Kimball high school in nineteen sixty eight... different times 4 sure.
Calculators, phones and 2+2 = 5 so we do not hurt feelings as well as [per Rush ] participation trophys, grease on the slope of mis-education.
Math is not horseshoes or hand grenades
The states that have returned to the basic RRRs are seeing markedly improved scores.
Government should be prohibited from any involvement in education. They have proven themselves to be completely incapable of the task.
And as per the Constitution, government has no role in education.
The Constitution is silent on it which means it has no power regarding it, but nothing prohibits the states from assuming its administration. I believe the First Amendment's prohibition against government establishing religion applies because education cannot be effectively provided unless it is within a context of values. All of our original colleges were formed as religious schools (like Harvard and Princeton). You learn facts but you need the context of how they apply to our lives. And our government schools do indeed teach within the context that government should serve as the central organizing principle in all of our lives. That should be prohibited.
True - The Lib's worship on the altar of GOVT - that's their religion, with the 1st sacrament being abortion. Whenever I tell that to a LIBTARD, they get triggered. You cannot say that you believe in GOD if you're are a LIBTARD.
Well, the economy is of scale of government provision of education afe undeniable.So is the crushing burden of responsibility that government has not been able to step up to, in orfer 2 provide a high enough level of education for every citizen
Government could if we outlawed teachers unions who purposely attempt to thwart education in pursuit of mind control aka brain washing starting in pre k.
If I'm not mistaken, I think those were all in red states.
WOW the cat is lazy today. Maybe too much World Cup.
Cats have to be lazy sometimes - it’s who they are.
But they are just lulling us into thinking they're lazy and asleep. They're always watching!
And plotting against mankind....
Ah c'mon! They're man's second best friend, at least.
That's what they want you to believe....
It's important to note that it was Obama's purposefully fomented Arab Spring in 2009 that began the mass migration from North Africa into Europe. The entire escapade was engineered by the globalist cabals to weaken and dilute western countries (aka Western Civilization). The same has been done in our country starting back with GW Bush who was definitely a proponent of open borders and mass amnesty. The beautiful people who know much better than any of us decided long ago that nation states and individual sovereignty were anachronisms and must be eliminated to let the new world order take reign.
Thank you for calling out John Roberts for protecting Judge Bumf*ck (Boasberg). The only man in DC with less spine than John Roberts is John Thune.
Thune is up for reelection in 2028. We gotta primary that Asshat. Come on South Dakota. We're looking at you.....
It would be like Vermont voting out Bernie; ain’t going to happen. 🥵
I hope Scott Pressler has somebody working on it even as we type.
2028 is way too long from now.
Jia Cobb didn't "get it wrong", she intentionally and maliciously chose to screw America. Not Trump, America, every person who is a citizen. Make her house a holding center for the invaders and make sure she's there with them. Maybe house Somali tyrants.
Boasberg is a dung sniffing slug. I like weasels as they keep the rodents away.
Little did Jefferson & Madison envision foreign token citizens becoming lifelong judges deciding cases on feelz & the sadz.
Sad day 4 us all..
There were two whistleblowers early on who sounded the alarm about unfettered, open-border immigration: here in the U.S. it was Patrick J. Buchanan & across the pond British Parlimentarian Enoch Powell. “Polite society” at the time treated both as pariahs.
Who’s laughing now?
