I'm surprised his speech didn't straight up threaten political retribution from Trump if he gets elected again. I know they're already doing it with death threats, but Jordan is like Trump's fourth son, but with a fixation with male college wrestlers instead of women.
You literally know nothing about politics.. since this EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED FIFTEEN TIMES in January when McCarthy was finally elected.Quote:

How exactly does that show education? Having a dumb opinion about something, or view something short-sighted don’t go hand in hand. Many replublicans thought JFK was coming back to life, and going to be Trump’s running mate. That shows stupidity, but you can be educated and stupid at the same time.

The system is flawed. Government funds universities, universities can charge students whatever they want as they get government backed loans, and most students don’t know any better. Kids go to college because they think it’s what is expected and our culture. We need to reform it.

I think the issue is parents rely on the education system to teach them everything while failing to teach them anything at home. Every time you go out with your child is an opportunity to teach them about the real world. Honestly, anytime you do anything with your child, is an opportunity for you to instill knowledge and wisdom, most parents just don’t do it.
At my kindergarten there was a girl that came in, on her first day, she shit in the corner of the room. The teachers told the parents about it, and the parents only response was “it’s not my job to teach my daughter, it’s yours”. That’s is the problem.
Accounting is different from personal finance. You’re looking at this with a view of the finance world. The problem we have right now is so many people are financially illiterate that how can they be expected to teach their kids? Just like government and religion gives parallel rules to live life by(a debate for a different day) schools and parents should also be creating parallel learning for their kids.
Basic accounting is literally one of the most important skills you can have in life. The ability to manage and understand your money. If you as a parent are financially illiterate, then it’s your job as a parent to make sure that your child learns it, visit a bank, take a course as a parent, to teach your child. Make sure your child takes classes when they get older. Don’t pass on your mistakes to your child, you should learn and be better.Quote:

Want to see a fun little snippet way down in the article?
"The report also notes that it’s possible that the level of skill required to meet Oregon’s since-paused academic mastery standards was “too low to improve college and university outcomes.” It’s also possible, the report said, that student success in college relies more heavily on other factors than writing or math skill levels."
Now you can ask yourself... what would those "other factors" be... You have someone that can't read, write, or do basic math... what in the world is going to make them "successful" in college?
They're saying it right out in the open... just no one is listening. It's a pure indoctrination program at this point.

"Doing so will count as a field trip or an extra 5 points on the field trip category of your grade."
Just remember... everyone wonders how the Nazi's came to power... we're watching it happen in real time with the insane Left... even though the media (which is the insane Left) keeps trying to convince everyone that the "Right" (which are actually just sane Democrats, Liberals, Independents, and Republicans) are the evil boogeyman in the shadows.
The funny part is... the titles (Left/Right/etc.) are actually falsehoods at this point.. it is the powerful Bourgeoisie vs the Proletariat all over again... and an uneducated populous is one of the mechanisms of control utilized in such a struggle...

I’m sure the unarmed J6 rioters that were simply in the building walking around & are currently serving lengthy prison sentences feel that justice is blind & impartial.
It takes a college educated person to use fire alarms...Quote:

House Republican Israel Emergency Aid Bill summary:
$14.3 billion to Israel

Funny you should bring up William Pennington. He was a Republican Speaker that attempted to preserve the Union & avoid Civil War by shielding slavery from future abolition. He failed, and history has not judged him kindly. I’m sure you are aware Democrats supported slavery at the time just as I’m aware of the Southern Strategy. So by bringing him up do you finally admit to Democrats being the party of slavery, or do you claim William Pennington as one of your own? You can’t have your cake and eat it too.Quote:

ChatGPT doesn't think that poorly of William.
William Pennington was an American politician who served as the Governor of New Jersey and a member of the U.S. House of Representatives in the mid-19th century. His views on slavery were in line with the prevailing sentiments of his time and the political climate of the era.
During his tenure in the U.S. House of Representatives, Pennington, like many Northern politicians of the time, opposed the spread of slavery into new territories acquired by the United States. He was a member of the Republican Party, which was founded, in part, on an anti-slavery platform.
While Pennington may not have been an ardent abolitionist, he generally supported the Republican Party's stance against the expansion of slavery. However, his primary focus as a politician was on issues related to economic development, internal improvements, and infrastructure.
It's important to note that the views on slavery and the specific positions held by individuals in the 19th century can vary widely. Some Northern politicians were more vocally anti-slavery, while others may have had more moderate or nuanced positions. Additionally, the context of the time, including the sectional tensions leading up to the American Civil War, influenced the positions of many politicians on this issue.

No one thinks Mike Johnson wants slavery. William Pennington was a Republican the entire time he was in Congress, including when he tried to amend the Constitution to preserve slavery.
I've got to go finish assembling my Halloween treat bags. Now that I discovered you can buy individually wrapped prunes, I think this year's treat bags will be a bigger hit than last year's. Before I go, I'll pose one question for thought about the Constitutional amendment advocated by Pennington.
"No amendment shall be made to the Constitution which will authorize or give to Congress the power to abolish or interfere, within any State, with the domestic institutions thereof, including that of persons held to labor or service by the laws of said State."
What if future people amended the Constitution again saying something like, "The Constitution is amended by repealing the earlier amendment, and slavery is outlawed"? I say Pennington's amendment wasn't worth the paper it was printed on.
I’m getting ready as well. What kind of sick fuck hands out prunes for Halloween?!? Children hate you.Quote:

It’s near impossible for us on this side of the world to even begin to comprehend their thought process, but lying / murdering innocents / rape / etc. is not just acceptable but rewarded in their jihad. They can not be reasoned with. I agree they need to all die, and that is exactly the primary objective for Israel in this war.Quote:

The Middle East doesn't like the West because we are not Muslim. Around 50% of the population feels it's ok to kill those that leave Islam. They are often seen as heroic martyrs in that part of the world and the Leftist media everywhere loves them. Western sympathy and tolerance for this religious war and for people who want to kill us, our kids and our society just because we are not Muslim or even their particular brand of Islam may well be our downfall. People need to wake up. The only way to change this is our own Jihad like we did in WWII. And just of note, we are STILL in Germany and Japan, it took decades to root out that society so going into places like Iraq and Afghanistan and then leaving in a decade or 2 won't work. Unless we are willing to bomb them into submission and show ever man, woman and child that they have been irrevocably beaten and then spend decades educating them in how to get along with others, this shit won't end.Quote:

I want to tell all my colleagues here what I told the Republicans in that room last night. I don’t believe there are any coincidences in a manner like this. I believe that scripture, the Bible is very clear that God is the one that raises up those in authority. He raised up each of you, all of us, and I believe that God has ordained and allowed each one of us to be brought here for this specific moment in this time. This is my belief.

He gave more detail about his divine appointment on November 28 in a closed speech to Christian legislators. He believed the speech was not being recorded -- a foolish assumption these days. Rolling Stone was one of the first news sources to report on the speech. I imagine it will be everywhere by the end of today..
Quote:
Johnson addressed the National Association of Christian Lawmakers at the group's award gala at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. Perhaps unaware that the event was being recorded for the NACL Facebook page, Johnson told the crowd: "I'll tell you a secret, since media is not here." ("Thank you for not allowing the media in," Johnson added, alleging that journalists have been taking his comments "out of context" with "great joy for the last few weeks.")
Johnson then revealed that — in the lead up to the "tumult" of Kevin McCarthy losing his gavel and the chaotic GOP process of selecting new Speaker — he had been speaking directly to God. "Look, I'm a Southern Baptist, I don't wanna get too spooky on you," he said, provoking some laughter from the attendees. "But, you know, the Lord speaks to your heart."
The message he received from God, Johnson said, was to prepare for a "Red Sea moment" — both for the Republican conference "and in the country at large." Johnson said found the directive confusing but he continued to seek the counsel of God.
"The Lord began to wake me up, through this three-week process, in the middle of night to speak to me," Johnson insisted. "Now at the time," he continued, "I assumed the Lord is going to choose a new Moses." But because of his own lesser rank among the GOP's leadership, Johnson said, he believed the heavenly message to be: "You're gonna allow me to be Aaron to Moses," citing the role of the Old Testament prophet's brother and biblical sidekick.
But then Johnson watched as candidate after candidate failed to generate the necessary Republican support to win the Speakership. "Ultimately 13 people ran for the post. And the Lord kept telling me to, ‘Wait, wait, wait,'" Johnson recalled. "So I waited, I waited. And then at the end … the Lord said, ‘Now step forward.'" Johnson regaled the audience with his surprise to be tapped as the Moses figure: "Me?" Johnson said. "I'm supposed to be Aaron." But that was not the message, Johnson insisted, recalling: "‘No,' the Lord said, ‘Step forward.'"
More...
Johnson needs to prove it. If God really asked him to be the new Moses, instead of Johnson having delusions about his self-importance, then he will be able to turn a staff into a snake. If he doesn't have a staff, since they're not as popular as they used to be, he can use the flagpole rioters beat the cop with.
Maybe he can turn Dylan Mulvaney into a man. Oh wait…he still is one…Quote:

Boebart is being shit on by other Republicans and has no say over anything. She is an idiot.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) announced Wednesday she’ll force a vote next week on whether to oust Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), an extraordinary move highlighting the internal turmoil in the GOP.
But it’s also a move that is all but certain to fail after Democratic leaders said they would vote to protect the Speaker from her coup attempt.
Forcing a vote on the motion to vacate resolution — which Greene filed against Johnson more than a month ago — will compel the chamber to act on the measure within two legislative days.

The Dems will come to Johnson's aid this time like they should have done for McCarthy.Quote:
