I assume teachers and administrators will still make their full salary as if they were teaching 5 days a week, and now they even get more time off during the calendar year. And support staff that gets paid hourly, like custodians and cafeteria workers, will make less. Nice. And the real losers will be the children. The dumbing down of the government school system. Maybe this will make more parents decide to home school their children.

My guess is it won’t really matter, Israel will once again deal with nuclear proliferation in the region.

IDK - SF feels pretty confident because President Biden said that not a single dollar released by the US to Iran is being used to purchase any of their Military's equipment......I base that confidence on the the fact that President Biden sees Hunter Biden as the "smartest guy he knows".......

https://mises.org/mises-wire/lets-be-honest-economy-not-doing-well Agreed. All of this printing of money in the face of COVID and just continued unabated. And the results are becoming clear: a huge recession is starting. But gold. And seeds. Your ability to service may depend on it.

It was pretty cool. The city of Frankfort was literally right on the line of totality. If you were on the northwest side of town you were out of the zone while if you were in the southeast side of town you were in the zone. We ended up driving a few miles east and south and found a good quiet spot near Kirklin, surrounded by fields. After the event the traffic going north on U.S. 421 north between Kirklin and Frankfort was very, very, very, busy. Easily the most traffic I have ever seen on that road.

A premium example of a "Hypocrite" https://nypost.com/2024/03/27/real-estate/jon-stewart-found-to-have-overvalued-his-nyc-home-by-829/ Jon Stewart benefited by 829% ‘overvalue’ of his NYC home even as he labels Trump’s civil case ‘not victimless’ But it didn’t take long for internet sleuths to look into Stewart’s own property history, which shows his New York City penthouse sold for 829% more than its assessed value, records confirmed by The Post reveal. In 2014, Stewart sold his 6,280-square-foot Tribeca duplex to financier Parag Pande for $17.5 million. The property’s asking price at that time is not available in listing records. But according to 2013-2014 assessor records obtained by The Post, the property had the estimated market-value at only $1.882 million. 6 The 2013-2014 property assessment of Jon Stewart’s Tribeca penthouse.NY Gov The actual assessor valuation was even lower, at $847,174. Records also show that Stewart paid significantly lower property taxes, which were calculated based on that assessor valuation price — precisely what he called Trump out for doing in his Monday monologue. Pande, who purchased the penthouse from Stewart, then resold the property at a nearly 26% loss, according to the Real Deal — at just over $13 million — in 2021. Timothy Pool, a political commentator known for more right-leaning views, alleged on X that Stewart was being a hypocrite.

Still waiting for the sane in the country to show up......When the current President piles on in front of his supporters but his comments are covered up by by his propaganda machine (main street media) it absolutely screams "Banana Republic".....This is just a frickin game to the Democrat Party and their ilk..... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13219965/trump-bond-james-new-york-fraud-josh-hammer.html Nothing's better for Republican unity than Democratic lunacy! Biden and the Left are salivating at the chance of bankrupting Trump, but JOSH HAMMER reveals why the $454M ruling against Donald will end up costing THEM dearly By JOSH HAMMER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM The clock is ticking for Donald Trump to secure a $454 million bond by Monday or have his assets seized by New York Attorney General Letitia James - and liberals can't contain their glee. 'You-know-who says he cannot come up with the cash,' gushed Whoopi Goldberg on 'The View ' Wednesday. President Joe Biden couldn't resist twisting the knife when he spoke at a Democrat fundraiser Wednesday night 'Just the other day this defeated looking man came up to me and said: "Mr. President I need your help. I'm in crushing debt. I'm completely wiped out,"' Biden joked. His punchline: 'Donald, I'm sorry. I can't help you.' The crowd roared. Isn't it hysterical when the legal system targets your opponent? In February, a state Supreme Court ordered Trump to pay the giant penalty after he and the Trump Organization were found to have falsified financial statements, and misled banks and insurance companies. Now, the former president is being blocked by the Democrat AG from appealing the ruling until he pays up – and you'd think Christmas came early for the Left. 'I can't believe it,' chuckled Mika Brzezinski on her MSNBC show. Brzezinski was joined by former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann, one of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's top deputies in the hoax Russian collusion investigation. You won't be shocked to hear that he fears — wait for it! — more Kremlin interference. 'Everyone's national security concern is that there will be somebody, just hypothetically, like a… Russian oligarch who thinks this is a very good investment [and bails Trump out], he said. 'No one wants to lend [Trump] the money in this country,' chirped 'The View' co-host Joy Behar. 'Who knows what will happen with Russia and Saudi Arabia…' It's Russia, Russia, Russia and 2016 all over again. Trump can't secure this gargantuan bond. No insurance company is in the business of taking real estate as collateral. So, he's in a tough spot and Democrats believe their lawfare has finally drawn blood. 'I can't wait to see the chains on Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue. I'm kind of excited about it,' squealed 'The View's' Sunny Hostin. How foolish. What these unhinged Leftists don't understand – and never will – is that they are shooting themselves in the foot. Nothing's better for Republican unity than Democratic lunacy. If anything will convince stubborn Never-Trumpers to overcome their misgivings and vote for the ex-president this November, it's this brazen, extra-legal, nation-destroying madness. Yes, it appears Trump inflated his assets. And fraud is never acceptable. But it is nearly half-a-billion dollars bad? Put this penalty in perspective — Bitcoin fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried's bail was $250 million. Trump's in a tough spot and Democrats believe their lawfare has finally drawn blood. 'I can't wait to see the chains on Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue. I'm kind of excited about it,' squealed 'The View's' Sunny Hostin. And that was for a criminal, not a civil case like Trump's. Notorious Ponzi-schemer Bernie Madoff's bail was initially set at $10 million—and prosecutors eased the terms after he failed to secure it. Those men were potential flight risks who harmed real victims. They deserved a burdensome bail. But Trump is running for President, so he's not fleeing anywhere. And there are no victims in this supposed crime of the century. No financial institution lost money lending to the Trump Organization – and no one claimed to have been deceived, let alone 'defrauded,' by the Trump Organization. What's more, apparently all major real estate players juice their assets to secure favorable loans. Don't just take it from me. Here's 'Mr. Wonderful' Shark Tank star Kevin O'Leary, himself: 'If we're going to [fine Trump], let's penalize all the developers all across America. They've all done the same thing,' he said last month. 'All of them should go to jail and we should stop building buildings.' 'I would never invest in New York now,' declared O'Leary. 'And I'm not the only person saying that.' A spooked New York Governor Kathy Hochul tried her best at damage control – but blundered into saying the quiet part out loud. 'This is really an extraordinary, unusual circumstance that the law-abiding and rule-following New Yorkers who are businesspeople have nothing to worry about because they're very different than Donald Trump and his behavior,' she told a New York radio station. You see, Trump was prosecuted because he's Donald Trump. As long as New Yorkers don't threaten the Democratic establishment – they'll be safe, says the governor. It's official, we've gone full-blown banana republic! No financial institution lost money lending to the Trump Organization – and no one claimed to have been deceived, let alone 'defrauded,' by the Trump Organization. New York State Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron denies Trump a jury trial, then assumes full control of the case and concludes mid-trial that Trump's palatial Mar-a-Lago estate is worth as little as a laughable $18 million. And it gets worse. During Tish James's 2018 campaign for AG, she vowed to pursue Trump, calling him an 'illegitimate president.' Did anyone not think the fix was in the moment she filed the lawsuit? Then, there's this judge, New York State Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron. First, he denies Trump a jury trial, then assumes full control of the case and concludes mid-trial that Trump's palatial Mar-a-Lago estate is worth as little as a laughable $18 million. Your Honor, have you ever taken a spin through Palm Beach on Zillow? Empty lots are going for $200 million. If your Spidey-sense is going off, it's not just you. During Tish James's 2018 campaign for AG, she vowed to pursue Trump, calling him an 'illegitimate president.' Did anyone not think the fix was in the moment she filed the lawsuit? In New York, there's no bail for murderous thugs who roam the streets of the Big Apple. Yet a Republican presidential candidate, leading in the polls against Uncle Joe, gets no such mercy. Folks in the Bronx, Brooklyn, and other crime-ravaged NYC neighborhoods would love to see that reversed. No one can earnestly look at what's been done to Trump and see anything other than a vindictive witch hunt – and America is watching. Who wants to live in a country where you're targeted by the all-powerful state simply for holding the 'wrong' opinions? Never-Trumpers and supporters of Nikki Haley have a choice this November: It's either Trump or these vicious leftists, who'll stop at nothing to injure their political opponents. It won't be a hard choice.
