Here’s the TPUSA version of events at OU.
Not surprisingly, they lie about what happened — she wasn’t flunked for quoting the Bible; she never even quoted it — and accuse the instructor, whom they name, as being “mentally ill”

Federal courts have ruled that Trump’s activation of the National Guard in California, Oregon, Illinois and even DC is illegal
But it seems Pam Bondi is determined to join Pete Hegseth by issuing illegal orders to our troops

- that he was radicalized only after arriving in the US and
- that the vetting process (which was all Biden's responsibility) was a failure?
I know we shouldn't expect consistency, but come on.

I am a strong believer in a maximum wage. Rather than a set dollar amount, it could be something along the lines of orders of magnitude. Maybe like 100x the lowest paid worker or something. It would still be an obscene amount of money, and if you want to make more, you gotta lift everyone else up.
Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.
See the problem?
