In the early 1980s, a local school district in a Midwestern state was allocating 80 cents per taxpayer dollar to administration and 20 cents to students. Forty years later, it seems to be the same old same old. A female educator in that Midwestern state became a school principal walked away with a million dollar retirement portfolio. Until the electorate exercises due diligence to effect change, nothing will change.

FTA: “We recite, we repeat, we embody the undeniable truth: What’s good for educators is what’s good for students.” Reminds me of the power-mad, egotistical character from the Broadway musical 'Lil' Abner'. What's Good for General Bullmoose, is good for the USA. Except he was fictional...and funny,

Need to start calculating the bloat in the Education Establishment. What value-add does any Superintendent bring to the process of educating a child? How much are the collective salaries, benefits and pensions for just the various Superintendents across the country? How many more teachers and school supplies could be added into each system if the Superintendent $$$ was allocated accordingly? Or, how much lower would local taxes be if they didn't have so many Superintendents and so many school districts?

Reid is a highly successful and ruthless education racketeer. She is likely to survive Gov Youngkin’s righteous opposition. Then, when Spamburger takes over in 2026, it’s Fiddler’s Green for four years.

The essence of public education. Top-heavy with administration, and kids who can't do math. I've seen our district plagued with bond issues 3 times since we moved here. The last was over a $ billion. The always present them in the spring referendum, when nobody (except education industry employees) votes. The last measure passed with what amounted to 17% of eligible voters approving. What does that tell you? At least it explains why our property tax grows by leaps and bounds.

Make Vaccine Injury Compensation Fair Again 2 replies
Posted by Harlowe 8/8/2025 11:06:05 AM Post Reply
We’ve known for years that the Covid-19 vaccines left many Americans seriously injured. Yet despite this common knowledge, the federal government’s surveillance to ensure vaccine safety has been substandard, to put it charitably. Worse, its performance in compensating those injured by the vaccine has been pathetic. Now, Congress is finally paying attention to America’s vaccine woes. [Snip] The sheer number of reported adverse events from the Covid-19 vaccine (over 1.8 million) dwarfs all previously reported vaccine injuries. But because it is a “passive” reporting system, largely based on patient self-reporting, VAERS is unable to show a causal relationship between a specific vaccine injection and a particular adverse reaction.

Still flabbergasted over being defunded by Congress, board members of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) cried, lied, and quoted Shakespeare during their melodramatic July 24 board meeting. On August 1, the board announced it is starting an “orderly wind-down of its operations,” and most of the CPB staff positions “will conclude with the close of the fiscal year on September 30, 2025.” You would cry too, if you were losing a compensation package bigger than the salary of the president of the United States. In 2022, CPB CEO Patricia Harrison’s compensation was $524,000, according to the CPB’ most recently available 990 tax exempt form.
What Moment in Time Did the Shroud of

The discovery of artifacts can change modern perspectives of ancient times. [Snip] The 14-foot-long Shroud of Turin is believed by many to be the actual burial cloth placed over Jesus after His crucifixion. An easily discernible image of the Son of God is seen on it--one that, despite today’s technological advances, still remains impossible to replicate. [Snip] While the image does not portray a supine Jesus, nor does it show Him standing or resting upon anything but, rather, “floating.” This begs the question why would He appear to be suspended in mid-air--unless it was the moment of the resurrection that was captured on the fabric.

While some headlines fret over a weak jobs report, Marlin Steel CEO Drew Greenblatt sees something else entirely--a once-in-a-generation boom in American manufacturing that the media is missing. "This is a re-industrialization of America. This is a fabulous, optimistic time," Greenblatt told Fox & Friends Weekend on Sunday. "[And] the mainstream media is missing what's happening. It's such an optimistic, good time for a factory worker, and these are good jobs… we need more of these jobs in our country," he continued, tying the outcomes to President Donald Trump's tariff structure, which he sees as reversing the long-standing trend of foreign dumping and offshoring.

President Trump is putting America first again. This time, he’s going after the rigged system that counts illegal aliens in the U.S. Census, skewing congressional representation and rewarding sanctuary states with more power. On Thursday, Trump announced he’s directing the Department of Commerce to conduct a new, corrected census — one that actually counts American citizens and excludes those here illegally. “I have instructed our Department of Commerce to immediately begin work on a new and highly accurate CENSUS based on modern day facts and figures and, importantly, using the results and information gained from the Presidential Election of 2024,” Trump announced in a post on Truth Social.

“If you find yourself arguing that it’s a good thing to drop nuclear weapons on people, then you are evil.” Thus spake Tucker Carlson last year on Joe Rogan’s podcast after the Daily Wire’s Jeremy Boreing claimed on Twitter that people who condemn the dropping of the bombs and describe the United States as evil for doing so, hate their country. Boreing and Carlson were replaying an argument that has been on a loop ever since the Sixties: Was Truman’s decision to drop the bombs justified? As an historical debate, there will probably never be an end to it.

France flipped to support. 19 of 27 member states are now backing it. Germany's undecided - but if Berlin folds, mass surveillance becomes law by mid-October. The excuse? Stopping CSAM. The reality? Total algorithmic surveillance and the end of private messaging in Europe.
