    Joe Biden "A great American Tragedy"

    Biden was a career politician with no job experience. Politics was his game although in my opinion he was just another hack taking advantage of his office. He plagiarized, lied about his stellar career & was for a time racist. But this is the typical life of a typical career politician, where the good of the Country takes a back seat to getting re-elected so they continue the good life. The lies they repeat over and over like "I'm for the working people" are pure and unadulterated lies only to get elected. it is what it is.

    Dept of Education going BYE BYE!

    part of the article I liked yesterday: Governor Ron DeSantis has shown the world that states can -- and should -- run their own education systems. Florida’s expanded school choice puts parents in charge, and the results are undeniable. In 2023, Florida ranked first in the nation for African-American students’ reading proficiency and second for Hispanic students’ math proficiency. Graduation rates have jumped by 10% over the past decade, hitting a historic high of 90% in 2022 -- well above the national average. By focusing on academic achievement and removing political ideologies from the classroom, Florida has shown that local control works. The DoE’s failure is clear. Local control produces results. It’s time to get rid of the federal interference and let states and parents do what they know is best for their children. How We Close the DoE The Constitution never granted the federal government control over education. Florida has shown us that local control works. To dismantle the DoE, President Trump can: Issue executive orders to strip the DoE of its regulatory power. Redirect funding to states through block grants. Repeal federal mandates on testing, curriculum, and hiring. Cut the DoE’s budget and workforce to limit its influence. While full abolition requires Congress, President Trump can swiftly reduce the DoE’s power and return education to the hands of parents and states. This isn’t an end to education -- it’s a return to common sense.

    didn't I read somewhere that that math was to be dumbed down or test scores were counted less because math is racist??

    Very good piece on the DOE. Look what happened when Florida took control of their education. Just another bloated government failure. I know that is repetitive. https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2025/03/closing_the_doe.html

    Stock Market bubble - will crash

    I personally have confidence that we are on the right track as a country. Getting out of wars may take some time. Gutting the government will take some time. Reducing energy prices will take time & is correlated with wars. JMHO
  10. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had given the military until Wednesday to remove content that highlights diversity efforts following President Trump's executive order ending those programs. "We are pleased by the rapid compliance across the Department with the directive removing DEI content," said a Pentagon spokesman. "In the rare cases that content is removed that is out of the clearly outlined scope of the directive, we instruct components accordingly." looks to me that if they make a mistake, which they will do, they correct them.

    CA Governor Ordered Everyone RTO 4 Days a Week

    still better than almost all countries in the world. It is not a cake walk & shouldn't be.

    What is the point of arguing with Libtards?

    Don't blame you for the pause. seemed to me that your utter hatred of Trump personally clouded your thinking to whatever he did is horrific regardless if it was a good thing. Good luck in your future endeavors.
  16. does not surprise me.. deep state taking care of it's own. The amount though is staggering. Our money mind you. This is some of the crap that your tax dollars are going to. The men who died for our independence are rolling in their graves. All we hear as taxpayers is "pay your fair share"! Washington is broken. Maybe Trump & company can make some light of this. We all benefit, by the way.

    Murderer to be executed by firing squad tomorrow

    only two people will have real bullets in their guns & none knows who has them. Personally I would prefer hanging.
  21. I can't believe the gall of Trump/Musk to demand federal employees actually work in the office rather than at home. The Horror.
  22. unlike most you did criticize Trump & Biden.

    Trump to fire 80k VA employees

    same with federal employees. can no longer work because of back pain. the fraud and abuse is rampant in the federal government & we are paying for it. Government is not the solution, it's the problem.
  24. better than the deals before. now he is saying he will do better deals. may he will, maybe he won't. won't know for at least a year so you have plenty of time to pile on. have at it. Trump!!!! caveat: I'm not a fan of his demeanor or his act sometimes. I like what he does for us as a nation. He get's things done.

    Supreme Court rules that Trump cannot stop foreign aid

    I'm fine with Barrett regardless of which side she votes for. Qualifications seemed great. Interpret the law, don't make laws. Now that Jackson lady who doesn't know the difference between a man & woman is a different story. That is either idiot territory or political persuasion territory with no regard for facts. Jury still out on Kagan IMHO
