    ICE protests held coast to coast as national movement grows after L.A. unrest

    For those who are schooled on the law & our essential documents the US created this debacle largely because of access to cheap labor. I blame both parties for that. We talk of reform & in the eyes of some politicians that means amnesty. They cave in. Look every country has borders & laws for...

    Oklahoma State Superintendent Mandates All Public Schools to Teach Bible

    People are mistaken on the separation of Church & State issue. The original intention had got twisted along the way. First of all if they were teaching a historical course in religions of the world, it would be fine. But such course is suitable for college more than high school because the...

    President Trump Signs Executive Order on School Discipline Policies Revoking Racist Obama-Biden DEI Guidance to Discipline Students Based on Skin Colo

    Fantine is incorrect. DEI is strictly about minorities. In fact where there is now a highly paid DEI position in some institution-that person is always a minority. And so that person will mainly be probing to find anything that contrasts with their ideology. It goes on phenotype only. We should...

    President Trump Signs Executive Order on School Discipline Policies Revoking Racist Obama-Biden DEI Guidance to Discipline Students Based on Skin Colo

    This is well-written & recognizes some basic truths. The US can not continue to fight this civil war of trying to overcome the grievances of the last civil war. At the rate of partisanship in the people & politicians jockeying for position as to which group they seek favor from, it seems that...

    MAGA Maoism - Parallels With the Past

    Actually I think it's the left that wants Maoism. E.g. govt believes in climate change, so the folks must to & they should immediately trash their heat, AC, cars, & electrical use to save the planet; the govt wants everyone to buy an EV but EVs are not suitable for all; the govt believes it...

    Video: 'You would think we deported a candidate for father of the year'

    Gee just 24 years ago we had 9-11 & in that time we've now begun to consider the likes of the worst thugs on earth as goodly neighbors. The whole thing with the immigrants is votes & cheap labor. Why not just invite the Taliban in? The disingenuousness about this as demonstrated by the left...

    Harvard sues Trump administration over $2 billion funding freeze

    Atty Dershowitz believes the court will rule against Harvard. This is a private institution so the govt does not owe them money or any particular break. What the executive order is said to do is induce a change of behavior. Frankly I think if the govt would threaten holding funds to all...

    Bernie Sanders takes Coachella stage to rail against Trump, 'billionaire class' at high-dollar music festival

    I understand Bernie owns 3 houses & sort of ignores that question. I guess Orwell was right. Some people are more equal than others. On occasion he addresses some concerns that people really do have whether it would be housing insecurity, food insecurity, healthcare, high tuition, toxic...

    Rep. Jasmine Crockett suggests the United States needs illegal immigrants because 'we done picking cotton'

    Well I did my research & today most agriculture is mechanized. There may be some hanging fruit crops picked by hand but most ag today is mechanized. When the left uses this excuse--that we the people are so dependent on a subservient class of people to do such tasks--it really suggests slavery...

    Trump to use wartime Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport illegal migrants from ‘enemy nations’: sources

    This is correct action. People must realize that there are evil people on earth who cannot be reformed. This is no different than the invasions that rattled Europe that led to the undermining of the Roman Empire. Playing kumbaya is not going to work. I do think these judges are out of...

    Would Jesus deport illegal immigrants?

    This is good reasoning. I think there is a tendency that some people hijack Christ to suit an agenda that purports to be all giving the store away or so very liberal. Christ did demand a mentoring up of behavior, not downward. He did not say oh you aspire to be free & disregard decorum as in...

    Tit for Tat Tariffs - The US versus the World

    The goal of the tariff is to get the manufacturers to move some of their work back here. We cannot continue to outsource the country NAFTA style. A few people working cannot sustain supporting all the people who don't work here. Mercantilism simply does not work.

    Will Trump Negotiate Tariffs? White House Claims Over 50 Countries Want To Talk

    I just listened to a 10 yr old clip from Bernie Sanders who insisted that manufacturing needed to come back here otherwise we won't have a country anymore. I.e. people need to have access to a job here. When people have jobs they can spend money here & some of that revenue goes toward taxes for...

    Donald Trump Has Issued An Executive Order To Close The Department Of Education. Now What?

    I'm wondering if all the loan stuff can be handled by the Treasurey Dept. Sadly I think the ED dept. lost its focus on curriculum, textbooks, pedagogical methods, methods of evaluation, teacher training, school design. It should have served as a repository for such.

    Top Social Security official exits after clash with Musk’s DOGE over data

    Let me just inform people that when it comes to medical data, SS data, IRS data, welfare data, no person-not even a politician gets to look at your stuff. Violations are coded in law. Having worked in the welfare dept. we had access to databases that capture information like the IRS & Labor. It...
