Nope. I don't wonder about that.
What I wonder is if they are still clearing out the path the high speed rail is supposed to take, like the earlier fires did.

Already happening. I believe someone I know was let go (forced resignation with a severance package) for not agreeing to put them in their correspondence and social media profiles. Caught the tail end of their conversation with another person at the table, but it was a major reason they were forced out.
Another friend said they're seeing this in real estate brokerages, mortgage brokerages, and another mentioned it was happening at UK.
She's a peach. Wasn't she runner-up for Kammy's vp spot in 2020? She checked off most of the same boxes.
Jennings got Crockett all upset haha. Imagine thinking 'my ancestors built the White House' is relevant to the discussion...
Crockett: "The last time I checked y'all didn't say that anything was wrong with the White House. And I can promise you it was my ancestors that built the White House.”
The fact is, stop trying to act as if only white men are the ones that are capable. Because right now you sitting at a table with three very capable black women.”
Jennings: "I'm not. I'm just simply saying that as a matter of public policy in California, the main interest in the fire department lately has been in DEI programming and budget cuts. And now we have this."

'This Is Worse Than The Holocaust!' Shouts Sunny Hostin After Barista Forgets To Put Cream In Her Coffee
MANHATTAN, NY — Sonny Hostin declared today that she had experienced "the Holocaust times ten" after the barista forgot to add cream to her morning coffee.babylonbee.com
It may pain her big dumb ass to know the WH was completely gutted in the 1940s as well as the War of 1812.
Nothing says leadership in your state as Governor like 'the locals will figure that out'

Fyi... State Assessments may be predictive of future academic success, if only recent, biased studies are to be believed, but not based on 5 decades of data before now, nor are they predictive of success in life or careers.
There are many reasons they fail as a litmus test outside of narrow academic settings.
Some of the biggest reasons are that they don't teach to or measure adaptability, nor measure creativity in solving problems, or indicate any level of persistence in the face of adversity. They produce drones in other words that are meant to fit within a pegged system, rather than leaders who can solve critical problems and reason through tough situations and circumstances.
Public schools teach "to the test" and have done so for over 40 years. The narrow scope of this education is perfect for indoctrination rather than truly developing an independent, objective, and intelligent mind. It is easily manipulated by simple memorization, which takes little effort at all, but ideally suits someone just wanting a job instead of a career or entrepreneurship.
It is meant to churn out more hive minded people to make the colony grow, but once the colony becomes overcrowded there is a huge die off in terms of employable drones. That's where we are now. The system cannot sustain itself because of natural limits to production and usefulness of people who all perform the same function for too long.
Private schools do not "teach to the tests" because they are busy teaching reasoning and independent thought. Many are teaching the classical education model that gave us the enlightenment and industrial revolution, as well as the robust economy of this country before the 60s led to the destruction of education itself. The last people to be trained classically in public schools graduated in the early to mid 1980s, when several people I knew first hand began teaching. Things got much worse from there and rapidly.
Classical education values a well-rounded pursuit of knowledge that doesn't discount history, literature, and reason. It's a rigorous curriculum that isn't defined by dittos and scantron tests, but essays, reports, and papers/presentations starting in elementary school. The truth of private education is that not everyone that starts out in private schools can afford to continue through high school because of costs, location inconvenience, and extra-curricular limitations that put an economic strain on families already subsidizing public education as well.
If you exclude students who have attended private schools before the high school level, you will see a drop from the upper ranks of high school graduates and statist-preferred testing measurements. There are at least 3 schools in Lexington that I know of personally whose students take the assessments and on average perform more than 10-15% greater than the average of those one or two grades higher in public schools.
They don't need to publish the results because they don't need the marketing, and they know the classical approach is too rigorous for some to take on. It's definitely too expensive for most, but more so for those in lower income brackets without some sort of voucher system. But that's the idea behind preventing vouchers. It's to keep the lower income brackets from escaping that perpetual motion machine of poverty that has ZERO accountability.
Private school teachers that don't perform their jobs well get FIRED. Can't say that about public schools AT ALL.
Most of yall knew all of this, of course, but for those who don't, you're welcome for the cognitive dissonance disruption.

What the hell is a senator going to do? Governors and Mayors are the ones to go to.She's a peach. Wasn't she runner-up for Kammy's vp spot in 2020? She checked off most of the same boxes.
I’d say this guy’s presidential hopes are up in smoke.
There is so much here that I agree 100% with. Standardized testing is a terrible measurement of academic success and ability. It’s even worse when you use it to judge a particular school or district based on it.
The classical education model is the way to go and we have failed students in many ways. However, I can say that currently science and social studies tests have went away from fact based questions and are now designed with critical thinking and the scientific method in mind. The issue is who grades these tests. Companies continue to push the Bell Curve as the recommended model for score distribution. You can read exit interview with people Pearson hired as graders who were told you’re giving too many 3s and 4s. We need more 2s and 1s on open ended questions. Reading tests are mostly inference based tests now designed for critical thinking as well. There’s very little “recalling what you’ve read”.
But the biggest difference in private and public school test data is the clientele being tested. Which is why I would send my kids to private school if I lived in a metro area. Public school accountability scores include “all students”. This includes students with learning disabilities, students in special needs units who are nonverbal & severely in the spectrum, mentally & physically disabled students, students with English as a 2nd language/ not spoken at all, and students who are constantly truant yet the courts do nothing to parents. These students are tested and scored the same way as typical students with their scores even weighed more because they’re considered a Gap Group. Private schools don’t have these issues. They don’t have to take everyone. They literally say we don’t have the programs needed to serve your child. Their students have parents who are willing to pay and are actively involved in their child’s education (aka #1 indicator for success). Even when they do accept a students with something minor like speech or vision issues, many times the same therapist from public schools come and service them.
There are very good private and public schools. There are also very bad public and private schools. The same for homeschool. I’ve seen students from them all over the years. But the biggest indicator for academic success and future success is and will always be parental involvement in the child’s education. The education system as a whole, needs an overhaul. Federal & state laws keep schools from disciplining students, grouping them ability wise, setting up kids with disabilities for failure while blaming the schools, and forcefully pushing kids towards higher education who should be looking at trade jobs. Just my two cents.
Biden cancelling his Italy trip in his final days in office cause of the fires in LA (to many donors for the Dems there, got to act like he is working...plus he knows if anyone is going to write a heroic fiction about his pathetic life and presidency, it will likely come from LA or New York).
Meanwhile, in North Carolina...

We can't afford to help them.
All of our money is in Ukraine or in blue cities for the illegals.
Cali libs will fare better than Carolina mountain folks.
FJB!
Huh? I'm referring to kidd who went to college. What are you talking about?
They will just vote her back in as they did Newsome. Californians as a whole are some of the most ignorant people in this country. They are so easily fooled and will not change. Most of Hollywood who they idolize, are liberal and elitist just like most politicians and is one of California's top "assets". When you are ruled and influenced by the same type of people (politicians and entertainers) you are doomed. The ones I feel sorriest for are the children who must suffer the decisions of the "adults". Adults should reap what they sow but not the children.

Look at all those 12th and 13th century cathedrals in Europe built by her ancestors. Just a stupid claim. History to the left is what they want it to be not what is true.
Apparently, the fire department from La has been focusing on dei instead of firefighting. But hey, I just want you to know that that was a black lesbian that let your neighborhood burn down.

Trump's Remain in Mexico policy could be revived under new House GOP bill
House Republicans, led by Rep. Brandon Gill, are pushing to codify President-elect Donald Trump's Remain In Mexico policy into law.
The severity and damage of these fires is caused solely by failed democrat state leadership, chosen by the people who are suffering the damage. While I wish no harm upon them, not one single fraction of a cent of my tax money should go socializing the losses of these rich lefties. They can live in tents like the people in NC, and use whatever insurance payouts they get, to rebuild on a timeline dictated by the CA permitting and regulatory bodies.
Certainly not a penny more, and on no quicker of a timeline, than what the people living in NC have gotten. But arguably the severity of the NC floods was a result of failed federal democrat leadership and overreach.

You would think this disaster would torch (bad pun) these pathetic politicians careers and just maybe Dems in CA wake up but sadly I doubt it.
Meanwhile, Biden gets to CA ASAP but took forever to show up in NC and was there for less than 2 hours. Then brags about being a great grandfather and his FEMA is kicking NC folks out of hotels during a winter storm. However, those illegals got to get their freebies…. I truly believe he may be the most pathetic excuse for a human being to ever grace the Oval Office. What is even scarier are the people in his admin running things.

A great example of how the left elitist whites gaslight one of their groups with a fake stat in order to convince them that their powerful white keepers are improving their lives. It is sad really. Such an ignorant female who by a click on a Google button could see she is spouting lies.
No Black women are not the “most educated” group in the US
This thing going around is completely wrong and we should stop it.

In large corporations thats gone on a while now. All compliance and hr training has materials focused on it and usually accompanied by intermittent email blasts reminding people if they make someone feel offended they are subject to immediate termination.
I hope at some point all this stuff gets flushed out. The general public really needs to see what its been like in corporate America for the last 4-6 years. This stuff, openly championing the fact they are promoting only minorities, and masks/vaccine mandates. The general public would be shocked.
It will be a miracle if trump survives this term. Between his old age and the lunatic army caused by libs and media brainwashing, i sadly see it as a low chance he'll make it 4 years.
Have fun with all the fine Chinese Nationalists that walked across the mountain in Jacumba, terrorists, etc. And good luck with all the climate lunatics that want to make a statement before Jan 20.
Im sure some illegals will take over some of those burned buildings. What a 3rd world state.
Only read a little. (I read all this post.); I may be missing other information from other posts but there is a whole lot left out to get to where you got along with the areas of effects. I will try to pay better attention but these pages go by very quickly.
Trip'em with words, then obfuscate, obfuscate, obfuscate.....
The doctorate/ sheepskin will be yours...
It is entertaining to listen to that, but it is impossible to break through that level of stupidity.
