President Trump is an addled brain modern day Don Quixote. Instead of windmills, he is chasing down flag burners from nearly 60 years ago. He wants set all things right by preventing Ruby Bridges from attending school thereby judging all Black women of accomplishment should be fired from their jobs.

Still a racist ... notice in his statement, Representative Hill omits that our nation united also in the passage of the 14th Amendment - the one that guarantees birthright citizenship.

French Hill, US Representative from Arkansas His direct ancestor, Creed Taylor, enslaved 70 people in the ante-bellum American south. In a statement to Reuters, Representative French Hill said, "From Biblical times until today, human bondage is a scourge. At our nation's founding, slavery was a sad, unresolved burden. In pursuit of a more perfect union, our nation tore itself apart in civil war and united in the passage ofthe 13th and 15th amendments to our Constitution. We as a nation must recognize our past, learn from it, and look to the future."

By and large it's not the people of Israel perpetrating this atrocity. It's the government ... specifically Netanyahu. He stoked fear in the people there much like Trump has in the US. They are birds of a feather. Netanyahu's reasons for wanting to prolong this situation are ...
Headline that reads, "Court says Netanyahu must begin testimony in his corruption trial in December." Headline that read, "The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrnts for Netanyahu and Gallant."

This picture of Ivanka and her dad is the one that has ALWAYS bothered me ... taken in 1996, Ivanka was 14 or 15. The second picture of Trump and Epstein was taken in 1997. By Trump's look, the dates could have been during the same winter season.
Picture of Donald Trump and 15 year old Ivanka Trump. Donald has his hands on her hips, and she is leaning toward him in a provocative pose. Picture of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. Trump has arm around Epstein and his hand on Epstein's shoulder. They are both smiling.

If only all working people understood enough to ask "Where did the old man get all the cookies?"
Three men are at a table. One older man in a suit is standing at the head of the table behind a huge pile of cookies. Two men are seated across from each other. One man is a white blue collar worker wearing a hard hat and a safety vest. He has a plate in front of him with one cookie on it. The is a man of color wearing a t-shirt. He has no plate, no cookie. The man in the suit with the huge pile of cookies, points to the man in the t-shirt, and speaks to the blue collar worker saying, "Careful mate. That foreigner wants your cookie!"

Five things to remember about war: 1. Many things reported with confidence in the first hours and days will turn out not to be true. 2. Whatever they say, the people who start wars are often thinking chiefly about domestic politics. 3. The rationale given for a war will change over time, such that actual success or failure in achieving a named objective is less relevant than one might think. 4. Wars are unpredictable. 5. Wars are easy to start and hard to stop. Cartoon: An elephant named "Big Beautiful Bill" is sitting on and crushing Uncle Sam while an Ice agent dressed like a Star Wars stormtrooper kicks Uncle Sam. Donald Trump is standing next to them on the left, pointing further to the left saying, "Look! Iran't attacking Israel."

Also, let's also focus on Governor and state legislature elections. Gubernatorial elections are taking place in 36 states and 3 territories in 2026.

Biden's budgets reduced spending. IDK where you are getting your information. If you believe information from the World Economic Forum, Republicans are by and large the party who will raise our debt.

Speaking of austerity, how are your kids/grands doing with their 2 dolls and 5 pencils?

I call BS given Florida ranks 50th for average teacher salaries. You would have had to earn more that $100K/year in order to get 2017 tax benefit you describe. Maybe you're admin? Maybe you have a second job in order to earn a living wage? Whatever, you burden your kids with debt for your extra $$.

If you decide to boycott Paramount, please be aware of their umbrella. It makes a good case for why huge companies should not be allowed to gobble up smaller ones. And, if I recall correctly, Paramount is paying this extortion fee because it wants to further expand via a merger with Skydance Media.

Maybe it's the camera angle, but to me the woman sitting next to tRump does not look like Melania.

A picture of Donald Trump with the caption, "How can so much shit come out of one asshole?" A large group of protesters carrying signs. One sign says, "veterans against Trump." Another sign says, "Protect human rights, justice, education, science, environment. No idiocracy! No kings!"

Yes, society is selfish. The system creates the selfishness through fear of the 'other.'

"1999 ... education was the top policy priority for both parties but is no longer on Republicans’ top
five issues today."

Two graphs comparing Democrat vs Republican spending per student from 1985 to 2018. One graph is for higher ed. One graph is for k-12. The shape of the line for each party is about the same on both graphs. For higher ed, Republicans almost always spend less, sometimes by thousands of dollars per student. For k-12, both parties are even for the first 10 years, then Republicans spend more for the next ten years. The two are about even for 5 years, and in the last 10 years Democrats have spent more per student, most recently by $2000 per student.

A split screen picture. On the top half, there is a picture of a man standing outside his single-wide trailer with firewood stacked in front. He's wearing a sweatshirt and dirty sweatpants. The bottom half is an aerial shot of Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump's Palm Beach mansion. The caption on the top half says, "Imagine living here." The caption on the bottom half says "And sending your money to a guy living here."

Is 🍊🤡's new 'Tariff policy' an extortion plan, like the one he appeared to run on South Korea in 2017?

"Shortly after Trump became president, the outstanding balance of the loan listed in the Trump Organization documents suddenly dropped to $4.3 million."

www.citizensforethics.org/reports-inve...
From the Cato Institute article published June 13, 2019. "While the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement has received far more attention, a lesser-known U.S. Trade deal has also been reworked. In April of 2017, President Trump proclaimed his displeasure with the Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement (commonly referred to as 'KORUS'), stating, 'It was a Hillary Clinton disaster, a deal that should've never been made.' Trump said he had told the South Koreans, 'We'll either terminate or negotiate. We may terminate.' This set the wheels in motion for a relatively low-profile trade renegotiation that became Trump's first trade deal.

The consequence of having a president 🤡 who is a bully and coward. Imagine Putin threatens 🤡 that Russia will dominate Arctic shipping lanes. 🤡 gets scared he'll look bad then desperate then stupid which plays to Putin's hand showing 🤡 a blustering idiot or giving Putin excuse to expand (see below).
Picture of Trump saying 'We need Greenland for national security and even international.' Picture of Trump saying 'I think we are going to get it one way or the other we are.'

Dr. Paul might be interested to look at this research done by the Shanker Institute.

www.shankerinstitute.org/blog/school-...
A scattergram of research results correlating the relationship between education funding and education outcomes. "There are a few thousand districts in this plot, and they are rather bunched together, but two things jump out from the figure. The first is the general upward slope of the dots, which indicates the positive association between funding adequacy and testing outcomes. In other words, districts in which funding is more adequate according to Shanker Institute test measures tend to score higher, relative to the U.S. mean. No surprise: funding matters."
