This is common core math, and it is a good example of why parents have been fighting against common core math since its inception. It is why high school grads in local businesses these days have trouble making change.

Beaufort County Schools curriculum director told the school board with a straight face that the Bridges curriculum "is not common core math" but after several people looked at Bridges website which clearly siad their curriculum "aligns with common core math" he had to backtrack and admit it was common core.

The robots who dance on Superintendant Cheeseman's puppet strings all voted for this bad curriculum in spite of that. Bridges is also full of "woke" CRT and DEI.

We need a change of ALL school board seats up for election in 2024.

Jack-boot Smith is using the Stalin Show Trials as his role model. He is 99% politics and 1% law, if that much.

The closest thing to fascism in modern politics is globalism, and Trump is an opponent of globalism. The high peiest of globalism is Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum (WEF) wgise "Great Reset" book is the "Mein Kampf" of the 21st century. They are the advocates of totalirarianism in today's world. Schwab was actually born in Nazi Germany where his father was a Hitler-supporting industricalst. Other people in the vanguard of the gloabalist totalitarian movement are George Soros, Larry Fink, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg. Look for a list of those who turn out at Davos, which is the new Nuremburg.

Here in the US, it is Biden, not Trump, who is attacking our democracy, between election manipulation and attacks on the 1st and 2nd amendments. The American people are figuring that out as the poll above shows.

Those do not bother me as much as the useless green energy crap and woke crap, but is not spending in the areas that we should be to thwart Russian aggression. It is unfortunately the sort of thing Democrats do. It is like when the early Russian aggression in the Donbas happened and Obama sent uniforms and radios while Canada under the Conservatives sent weapons. The first responders may be war related as they have to deal with Russia's missile attacks on civilians. Our funding should be for winning the war, not welfare-like spending.

This is much like providing arms to the British to fight Hitler before we were attacked ourselves at Pearl Harbor. Putin is the 21st century equivalent of Hitler or Stalin. However, there should be limits. Money for all sorts of "woke"causes that Ukrainians do not actually believe it themselves is absurd, as are billions for "green energy". Having travelled in Ukraine, including spending a summer week in Crimea, and worked with Ukrainians, I am all for helping them fend off Russian aggression, but Biden goes too far in many of his subsidies. We should have gotten them more sophisticated weapons sooner, but there are lots of things Biden is funding outside the militry sphere that he should not be.

Displaying your ignorance again, Little Bobbie? The crosstabs for this poll show it is balanced between Republicans, Independents, and Democrats, and even a majority of Democrats are concerned that America is headed toward a police state. Yes, proportionately more Republicans are concerned about the country becoming a police state, but so are a majority of all political persuaxions and all age groups.

Here is why this is such a threat to children. As the medical experts in the UK and Europe tell us, most gender confused children grow out of it naturally. They should be allowed to do so, as it will mean happier lives for them. But some ideologues think that gender confused children should be groomed for a lifetime as some sort of sexual deviant, which is not in their best interests. When schools promote things like this they are taking part in that grooming process. That should not be tolerated.

When articles in major newspapers, like the one above from the largest circulation daily newspaper in the UK, report these lawsuits, they are indeed happening, regardless of what Little Bobbie believes in his little mind. Bobbie takes the far left narrative as "the truth" instead of looking at actual facts like those reported in this newspaper article.

As to late term abortions, maybe a left wing source, the AP, can educate Little Bobbie on where the Democrats stand on that Ifor it): apnews.com

We are entitled to our own opinions, but, Bobbie, not our own "facts".

We are talking about how leftists use these terms - "diversity, equity, inclusion" as political busswords today, and they have a very different meaning from when I grew up, was in college, or indeed until just a few years ago. I had no pbollem with them they way they were defined then, but the far left today has gone Orwellian and adapted "New Speak" interpretations, and those are indeed anti-white racism, and in the case of "equity" Marxism.

Officials who suspend rights that are Constitutionally guaranteed are called dictators. I do not think we have any dictators yet at the state or federal level yet in the US, but we are getting uncomfortably close at the federal level and with a few governors like this one.

When guns are taken from law abiding citizens by decree, that is following Hitler's playbook as well as Stalin's.

The climate scare has always been nothing but political hype, a Chicken Little scare story to benefit politicians. Margaret Thatcher created the montster by putting government money out to promote what was an obscure and discredited theory because it helped in her battles with the coal miners union and the Arab oil sheiks. The globalits at the UN picked it up and other globalists piled on. Globalism is the biggest threat to freedom in the world today, and climate alarmism is a key part of that threat.

The former prime minister and president of the Czech Republic Dr. Vaclav Klaus (not to be confused with the evil totalitarian globalist Klaus Schwab) summed it up when he described climate alarmism as "a budding totalitarian ideology that is the greatest threat to freedom, democracy, and prosperity in the world today."

The only thing close to the Nazis in Europe these days are the globalists who adhere to the WEF. They follow the classical fascist economic doctrine of the "corporate state" and follow the nazis in wanting to suppress free speech and gun rights. Klaus Schwab's "Great Reset" book is a 21st century "Mein Kampf" The three parties of the right in Bavaria all reject the globalist doctrine.

Authoritarian climate nazi Joe Biden may try to do this here. The Brits have shown us how to respond. We need to stand up and say NO to this crap.

The questions about Dominion voting machines was a very small part of the questions swirling around the 2020 elections. Mail-in ballot problems, and particularly the ballot harvesting, for example, was a much bigger problem. Fox settled because of a technical screwup; they failed to give Dominion a chance to respond to their news report. If they had done so, Dominion would not have had a leg to stand on.

Voting machines, generally, are a problem, and those from Dominion particularly so. Paper ballots, cast on election day or at manned early voting sites, hand counted are the most transparent and honest. Mail in ballots and unmanned ballot drop boxes are a huge invitation to fraud.

Our own legislator, Keith Kidwell, uncovered the fact that in some counties here in North Carolina, voting machines had connections to the internet, which by law they were not supposed to have. Those were not Dominion machines but were other brands.

Like his hero Biden, Little Bobbie uses the term "truth" to refer to his political beliefs rather than to facts. The links provided in the article and Jann's comment contain lots of information that establishes that they are factual.

And that Czech president was spot on with his assessment.

Major online platforms should not refuse to offer their services in totalitarian jurisdictions like the EU. Let anyone going online in the EU get a screen that says "Sorry, Freedom of Speech does not exist in your country, and we cannot operate there"
