Today's FBI has less honesty and integrity than Al Capone did in his day. They are a political secret police like the KGB, Stasi, or Gestapo. The rot is so deep they need to be abolished and replaced by an honest and non-political crime fighting agency. They cooked the books for Biden and Harris and are now trying to hide the fact that they did so.

We need to help our church friends understand the importance of voting in this election to protect our U.S. Constitution, children, family, right to worship, and protecting the unborn. We will not find a perfect politician but Donald Trump is our best choice. Those concerned about his morals might remember the statement from our Savior, "He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone".

Actually, you are right. The throw away culture contributes to a lower quality of life and contributes to climate change.

However the number one contributor is transportation.

They say the product you buy off Temu isn’t actually produced until you purchase it. This is how they can have a large variety of items for sale for so cheap. The cut all the costs of storing inventory.

I would love to see the climate cult get fired up over cheap throwaway goods. Not to mention all these lithium ion batteries in vapes and other items that are produced to be used and thrown away. There’s your real environmental pollution. Haha but what do I know, my documented education ended with high school.

I agree bhawk, the illegal migration into this country has to be stopped.

Now there can be solutions for these problems but, the government must find common ground to achieve anything, which we know is almost asking for a miracle at this point. Rather then getting angry about the occurring of events beyond our control, it is more profitable to think about these events as divine judgment. As it was written:

O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

O Lord, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:

And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.

Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;

Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.

The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;

A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young:

And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.

And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.

There is an easy answer to all of this and that is cronyism, something that should outrage all taxpayers.

DPI did not follow the rules because the current DPI Superintendant was in a tough primary election and wanted to get the grants out for the publicity to buy votes. It would not surprise me if other schools given money in her pre-primary spending spree also had corners cut to get the money out quick enough to try to do her some political good.

As to the required review of Cheeseman over the poor performing schools, the sad fact is that six of the current school board members are in Cheeseman's hip pocket and are his puppets. Voters can change that in Novermber by tossing out Cheeseman flunkies Mack Hodges, Eltha Booth and T.W. Allen.

Yeah, you get what you pay for (the public pays in this instance). Did the Board actually do any research on this hire?

Not surprising. Kamala Harris plagerized her campaign slogan from Hubert Humphrey. He was the "Happy Warrior" and she is the "Joyous Warrior". It didn't work for Humphrey and it will not work for Harris.

For a socialist, you seem to have a different view of the economy than we capitalists.
INFALTION? - at least 18% so far under Biden-Harris, and if you look at broader measures probably at least 23%. It was less than 2% when Trump left office. Enjoy your high gas prices, high food prices, and all the other high prices Biden-Harris have brought us?
JOBS? - Percentage of Americans in the work force has declined under Biden-Harris. Their new jobs are mostly part-time or for illegal aliens.
GROWTH? - anemic under Biden-Harris, robust under Trump pre-Covid
PUBLIC DEBT? - exploding under Biden-Harris, where it will soon be unsustainable

Then there is the dollar itself. Since Biden-Harris have been in, foreign central banks have been decreasing their dollar holdings because they no longer have faith in our economy. What are they acquiring by the ton for reserves is gold.

CV you say that but after 4 years of JB all economic indicators say you are wrong.
