He needs to wear it on his wrist or necklace like my mom did and she didn't have a nuke button so it's definitely safer for him to wear it like a watch or necklace.

Man that was like pulling teeth. 2023 and you had to think about it.

Now consider why that was so hard? Consider how those same thoughts and feelings influence your daily interactions with the other members of planet earth. Education, housing, land use, banking & job opportunities, all influenced and all effected.

Not by just you. All of us. all I'm asking is for you to think about it.

MONEY IS AVAILABLE FOR UNDERSERVED STUDENTS.
The 2023 Appropriations Act Expands Eligibility for the Opportunity Scholarship Program
On October 3, 2023, the North Carolina State Budget (House Bill 259) became law. The new law authorizes several changes to the State’s Opportunity Scholarship Program, which will begin with the 2024-2025 school year.

Changes for the 2024-2025 school year include:

Removal of the income cap for families to receive the scholarship; now all North Carolina students in kindergarten through 12th grade will be eligible for the Scholarship regardless of income.
Prior public school enrollment is no longer a requirement for eligibility for the scholarship.
A student’s scholarship amount will be based on household income.
Scholarship amounts will range from approximately $3,000 to approximately $7,000.
The Opportunity Scholarship application for the 2024-2025 school year will open on February 1, 2024. Families must apply by March 1 to receive priority consideration

The writer has lots of interesting ideas, but misses the point of vouchers. They take money from public schools that educate all children and send it to private schools that have tons of discriminatory admission policies. I want my tax dollars going to public schools that are accountable to everyone in the community, not just to private schools. Where are test scores for private schools? How do we know kids are learning anything at all?

Stan- you can twist that up anyway you want but your statements are disingenuous and just wrong. No one as old as you could possibly believe that nonsense so I can only conclude you post it on purpose hoping nobody will notice.


The whole thing reminds me of the South Park episode where Prius owners enjoy the smell of their own farts. Hilarious episode.

Suspect this Superintendent looks upon CRT with a supportive eye? Take a read over his PhD dissertation (completed recently) and you’ll confirm your suspicions! I look at the names he mentions in his introduction, the people that he thanks. That tells you everything you need to know about where he stands on the issue.

I am the author of the original article about this inappropriate material given out to high school students. There are several more stories about this school district yet to be published. Many problems in this district.

In the 60's when the song first came out, I thought the guitar part was one guy playing. I was in the Navy and sat on my rack, in the barracks, struggling to teach it to myself on my guitar. The guys in the barracks got so sick and tired of me they would yell "Amato..shut the F....up!" I finally got it pretty damned well. And then I saw PP&M do it live and it hit me "Oh my gosh....it's TWO guys!! By then I was doing it as a solo act.

We need to remind our leaders of the preamble to the United States Constitution.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, ensure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

In my 58 years on this planet I have never seen or expected to ever see a ( so called) president of the United States of America that has been so absolutely with out any facilities about him. Honestly This president and his administration are Truly out to Destroy our great nation. I understand perfectly why this administration is so out to get pres. Trump. You see trump is a we the people not we the politicians!!!!! In my personal belief Biden and his administration needs to be tried for TREASON!!!!! Read the preamble to the Constitution plane as day the highest office of the land is held by the enemy!!!!! It's Time for Real change bring charges of treason against these traitors... They work for us !!! We Don't work for them!!!! Very angry United States Citizen

Since we can’t write that story, just be open to those who can. Even if it is painful. Why is that important? It’s how we learn from history. Not memorizing dates etc, but learn. Learning means changing behavior and is exactly how we don’t repeat mistakes of the past.
Happy thanksgiving to you!

Jann - See the RH post. He makes my point biggly. Thanks bud.

Stan-

Fact - some white men are racist. How can you possibly deny it? Is racism a wide spread cross cultural phenomena? Absolutely. Racism is an unfortunate part of the human condition. The dominant culture does not, and should not, get a pass.

Fact - trump has fascist tendencies. How could you possibly deny it? His politics aren't really the issue for me. I object to the attack on our system of government and the abject cruelty of his administration.

We should all fear trump. I will never respect him.

The initial draft of the Constitution indicated "born a citizen" to be eligible for POTUS. John Jay (1st Supreme Court Justice) concerned that the requirement was not strong enough, and fearing that a member of the British Royal Family could become President, urged George Washington to change the language to "Natural Born Citizen." A natural American, is one who at birth, is a citizen of only one nation. NOT one born with dual citizenship as Nikki Haley was, at birth.

This is crap

Nope. Was when he lost the election and told his advisers he had no plans to leave DC and would stay in power. Then planned and allowed the old white men to storm the capitol to hang the VP. The clowns in Georgia are rolling on Trump like Grant took Richmond.

Not an election analyst, but since no else has stepped forward, I'm going to speculate here anyway.

It appears that Washington has 2172 active voters out of a population of about 9,000. (I wonder how many of the 9,000 are children.)

It appears we have 1265 Democrat voters and 1265 GOP voters.
Since GOPers Ceres & Tex lost, it shows that the GOPers didnt choose them. The GOP mayoral candidate got 899 likely GOP votes. If those same voters had turned out for Ceres and Tex, they would have won.

Lou got 879 votes so it looks like the GOP did turn out for her.

Ellen w 747 votes likely got the city elite votes from the chamber of commerce crowd, both GOP and Dem.

Anyone else want to add their 2 cents worth?

They really need to raise minimum wages from $7.25 because the cost of living is you which included mortgage/rent,food and clothing. The wages should go up accordingly to living expenses. If we can send money to different countries, we should be able to take care of our home states...

Remember
(On Veteran's Day and always)
It was the Veteran, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press.

It was the Veteran, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.

It was the Veteran, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to fair trial.

It was the Veteran, not the campus organizer, who has given us freedom to demonstrate.

It is the Veteran, who salutes the flag, who served under the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protestor to burn the flag.

Corruption doesnt have to continue. We the local people can all be watchdogs over the City Council and City manager activities. We dont have to go back to sleep regarding city issues.

Even just a week before the election most conversation here was about National and Global issues. Our hair should have been on fire about local issues...but it wasnt.

In addition: I would like to see an analysis of the voter turnout. For example how many registered voters of each party sat it out.

Democrats have implemented fraudulent election practices for the purpose of fixing the results of our elections since at least 2016(as evidenced in Miamidade and broward county,that was a test ground for the fraudulent election racketeering they implemented in 2020 in 5 different critical states for the purpose of changing the out come of the election in their favor) in 2016 they believed they could do t for Clinton and had assured her she would be victorious thru their efforts. All that happened showed them they had to be prepared for a higher voter turnout with more fraudulent ballots ready to be cast in illegal manners. They were successful in stealing the election and more importantly got away with it. It will happen again this next election and until the democrats in control are apprehended and punished for the crimes they are committing, our country and the freedoms Americans enjoy will be stripped of all semblance of a free democratic republic.

I am deeply concerned by what DPS is telling the House of Representatives in Austin. They say that there isn't all this crime going on out here. They say that because the colonias basically shut down when they came. It was like a ghost town the first two weeks they were here. The only traffic on the roads were cars with trailer loads full of household goods like they were moving or U-Hauls. We had none of our normal traffic, the weekend vendors are not there anymore, and we're not here in the automatic gun power every night. I don't mean any disrespect to the DPS gentleman that spoke in Austin but he is wrong. This is not a safe place to live nor is it a safe place to raise your children. I've been watching this issue going on since 2015. I have written representatives in Austin to know avail. We've written to Liberty County commissioners to no avail, the same with Montgomery County. Colony Ridge has bought and paid for all of them to keep their mouth shut or face retaliation.
