Can’t help but wonder who is setting some of these.
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.

This shit has gone so far overboard it’s insane, and we’re not far from a time when “woke” employers may begin trying to compel employees to participate in the madness by expecting them post their preferred pronouns in email signatures, business cards, etc. I said it the other day, one of my personal priorities for the incoming Trump administration is to dismantle all of this DEI bullshit.
But ted cruz went to cancun one time or something
You’ll never be able to convince me that basketball isn’t the most corrupt officiated sport.
I don’t even think it’s just a few. I think gambling is an epidemic amongst officials and maybe even the higher ups. No accountability. Absurd decisions that cannot be simply passed off as incompetency. Miss a foul? Miss a guy step out of bounds? Sure. Get that many wrong and lopsided? No way.

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."
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.
Nothing says leadership in your state as Governor like 'the locals will figure that out'
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.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.
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 NYC).
Meanwhile, in North Carolina...
Huh? I'm referring to kidd who went to college. What are you talking about?Yeah.... The Special Ed and dirt poor kids in public schools kinda skew that data just a teeny weeny bit. 😂😂😂😂
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.That’s about as bad of a look as it gets for a politician. Utter incompetence. Should be a recall effort begun right away if she doesn’t resign.

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.Can’t help but wonder who is setting some of these.
I'm a staunch conservative but I think you're using the wrong metric here. The issue isn't as much the total tax. The bigger issue is percentage of income, not to mention an general increase on taxation for lower income people, many of whom pay no income tax at all now. A consumption tax is referred to as regressive for a reason.
Any pointers, professor?!? LOLYes you were trying too. Not very good at it but....
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.
Any pointers, professor?!? LOL
Prolly stopped by The French Laundry after that for a Latte.I’d say this guy’s presidential hopes are up in smoke.
Back in the real world.Giuliani was always the one leaking half the Trump shit. The dude was a clown.
