I don’t know which is funnier, you ... or the rush to downvote virtually all of your posts.

In utterly shocking news.... https://www.foxnews.com/media/tucker-carlson-calls-on-sen-burr-to-explain-reported-1-6-million-stock-sale-or-resign Warns his wealthy donors of stock market collapse and sells off his stock while lying to his constituents..... When AOC and Tucker Carlson call you a scumbag.....you are 99.9% a scumbag.

We can agree on something (mark your calendars everyone - BO & SF agreed) However - The bigger story should be how these poor career politicians accumulate so much money.......#termlimits

https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/high-school/2020/03/19/ihsaa-changes-spring-sport-practice-requirements/2879017001/ Someone with more knowledge than me will have to educate us on Bylaw 15-2. Does that mean club volleyball and soccer teams can resume their weekend tournaments in Atlanta, St. Louis, Orlando, and so on? That would be great for HS athletes. (sarcasm)

It is sad that the Democrat party spent the past three years focusing on hoaxes, conspiracy theories and failed schemes instead of developing a plan and selecting an electable candidate. Joe Biden will continue to cuss out voters and challenge them to a fight or a push up contest. He doesn't have a chance of winning.

I'm not sold on too much of that. The fault often lies on the fact that a few families accumulate wealth and make it difficult for the rest of us. Evolution isn't as exact as you two are making it out, but you'd have to explore that more. As usual, we're all human and investigate and buy into what pleases us at whatever place in life we happen to be.

Sounds like a guy you would want on the staff.

Right you are! Back in my day, however, Sister Ratchet instilled a deep seated fear in all of us!

Congratulations to Coach Scott Buening who was named AD at Southridge. It looks like he will continue to be the program’s football coach. https://www.14news.com/2020/03/20/buening-named-athletic-director-southridge/

I was just talking to a friend last night. The “school stomach” is a real thing. I have been on a roll with my workouts and my diet and losing weight since the start of the school year. It has been a challenge while at home. lol

You literally may be the most ignorant person i know.

Public schools actually pay much better than private schools.

Didn't read the article again did you? https://time.com/5804477/justice-department-drops-charges-mueller-probe/ I doubt that prosecutors worry too much about being razzed by a defense attorney. If they are, then they shouldn't be in the business to begin with. Again, from the article, "Prosecutors vowed to continue to pursue their case against the 13 Russians who were named in Mueller’s indictment, along with the troll farm that Concord was alleged to have funded, the Internet Research Agency." I think "passionate" may be a bit strong a word. I tend to be a supporter of paying attention to what's going on and not acting like it doesn't exist. And, just so we're pretty clear, you seem to believe that this item means that there's no merit to any of the claims, indictments, etc. That's the kind of argument that folks who defend Al Capone probably made ... never been indicted for murder or anything else, other than tax issues. Obviously he's no criminal, right? While YOU may not consider Yevgeny Prigozhin to be anyone of interest, there's a reason that he's tied very closely to Putin and it ain't because he's his conscience: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-50264747 https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sm787 https://www.vox.com/world/2018/2/26/17044930/yevgheny-prigozhin-putin-mueller-troll-farm Of course, as I pointed out in another thread, it's ironic that you post a video complaining about the media "defending China" ... of course the latest talking points directly from the President himself ... as if that makes them somehow or another bad people or, God forbid, un-American , but you revel in attacking a card-carrying Republican, who served this country VOLUNTARILY in Vietnam and served as a Deputy AG/FBI Director/ Assistant AG under three different presidents.

Personally, I like public schools. Say what you want to say, but they do a pretty good job, other than pay teachers properly😄

Good luck, Robert as I see you are playing chess with a pigeon today...

I think most teacher agree with me that money isn't not the most important thing teachers need. We need smaller class size, support from administration for discipline issues, and less testing for our students. RED FOR ED

Hopefully it will be someone who will be a little more responsive to ideas that will make the game better.

Only because we now have 3rd-4th generations of the "poor" sucking on the government teat. They have learned to accept it and live with it.

Yet they are a de-facto government monopoly. You want better pay as a 5th grade teacher? Get the government and unions out of the system so you can adequately advertise and sell your skills/experience on the open market.

Private charity and other low cost alternatives. Let the free and open market work. For once.

Because it's Facebook. A hive of insipidness. Correct, you as a supposedly grown man shouldn't be a member.

I love our current President - But this sounds (and looks) so much better coming from the FLOTUS.......(IMHO)

Government Is No Match for the Coronavirus: https://mises.org/wire/government-no-match-coronavirus Tests begin with the CDC to insure quality, which is exactly the wrong approach. It assumes that the government can outperform the best medical industry in the world. Even at this hour the CDC has failed, shipping test kits that are defective. The CDC does not have a solution, but it also becomes the classic blocker to progress. Labs cannot act without a lengthy approval process from CDC and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These government controls violate the principle of subsidiarity (that problems should be solved at the lowest level possible). Ultimately care is provided by local hospitals, care facilities, and labs. South Korea’s rapid testing allowed for early treatment and containment of the virus. These test kits were created in three weeks. Many labs in the US could have solved the test kit problem but were restrained by the FDA and CDC. The South Koreans offered to help us, but was the CDC listening? Evidently not. At the president’s request on Friday, America’s robust private sector, including Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, Roche Laboratories, and LabCorp, came up with a solution for mass testing. Roche has received fast-track FDA approval for its COVID-19 diagnostic test. This testing will be done via drive-thru in parking lots. This minimizes contact and allows for mass testing of thousands across the country. The more Americans are tested, resulting in a lower percentage of deaths, the more the testing will have a calming effect on our citizens. Americans consider regulators and government to be sacrosanct, but in fact government agencies are slow and often fail us. Think of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which allowed Boeing engineers to bypass basic engineering standards, resulting in the crash of two Boeing 737 MAX airliners and the grounding of nine hundred planes around the world. We all know that any time we expect service from the government, it will be slow and painful vs. the private sector, which is mostly fast and courteous. In spite of some minor shortages, due to hoarding, the private sector is supplying us with gas, food, prepared meals, medical supplies, and healthcare. The coronavirus crisis must cause us to rethink government. The Trump administration has restricted new regulation and reduced arcane strictures, which has resulted in a booming economy. It is absolutely true that most private industry can be trusted, because the alternative for poor or unscrupulous providers is failure. Private industry can be sued and suffer financial decline, unlike government, which simply demands more money for poor performance. Business or individuals that commit fraud are subject to civil and criminal penalties. The federal government spends 21 percent of our national GDP. All federal spending money comes from business and citizens, which restricts their ability to allocate those funds to their families and to spur economic growth. American entrepreneurs are excellent capital allocators, creating the jobs and technologies that keep us safe and allow a very high standard of living for most citizens. In spite of enormous federal deficits, every protected class of workers and business expects the government to bail it out during a crisis, from airlines and cruise ships to government workers. We will now witness a litany of spending beginning with $8 billion for the coronavirus, moving to a $50 billion pork-laden House bill, and a third spending bill coming from the Treasury. This system is grossly unfair, as working-class individuals and small businesses do not get paid when businesses shut down. It’s time we heed the advice of President Ronald Reagan: government is the problem, not the solution. The welfare-warfare state is not only consuming a large portion of our national income, but, worse, it is also spending far beyond its means, creating debt now surpassing $23 trillion (vs. under $6 trillion in the year 2000). The solution is to reduce federal spending to 18 percent of GDP, which will downsize or eliminate many counterproductive agencies and allow American business and individuals to perform and innovate. If you are unconvinced, think of Walmart now offering ultra low-cost medical services along with a host of competitors including CVS and Walgreens. Gas is very cheap because of our fracking industry. An abundance of high-quality food is available from thousands of grocery stores, restaurants, and now home delivery from many sources. Americans are hard working, resilient, and innovative. The time has come to unleash this talent to create a higher living standard and solutions to the most perplexing national challenges. As one of the comments to the excellent commentary states:

So just because it happens "all the time" automatically justifies it happening this time. "Johnny got a pony so that means I automatically get one as well. Right?" Childish.

A Trillion-Dollar Deficit This Year Is Now Officially the Best Case Scenario: https://reason.com/2020/03/19/a-trillion-dollar-deficit-this-year-is-now-officially-the-best-case-scenario/ Not a rosy picture for our children and grandchildren. And yet no one seems to care. Why is that?

Here’s how to report gatherings of 10 or more people to authorities: https://wkow.com/2020/03/19/heres-how-to-report-gatherings-of-10-or-more-people-to-authorities/?fbclid=IwAR1vPe9lwDHPBdxI9bzALs2BiX0gQHjvmbFyDfxhiKZToU9m16o7AouSNj8 If you see something, say something. Right? Disgusting.

I see you are still drinking the Russia hoax and Mueller Dossier kool aid.

Yeah, he rarely misses a day. So nice to be loved.

Tax Day moving to July 15 amid coronavirus crisis, Mnuchin announces: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/tax-day-moving-to-july-15-amid-coronavirus-crisis-mnuchin-announces Good move politically.

Trump Temporarily Suspends Payments On Federal Student Loans: https://www.forbes.com/sites/sarahhansen/2020/03/20/trump-temporarily-suspends-payments-on-federal-student-loans/#cf1e59134912 Another good political move by Mr. Trump.

Stop Looking for 'Leadership' During the COVID-19 Outbreak: https://reason.com/2020/03/20/stop-looking-for-leadership-during-the-covid-19-outbreak/ Agreed. I don't recall seeing in the U.S. Constitution where one of the defined duties of the POTUS is to be a "leader". Our own laziness, complacency, and cowardice have led us to that point.

UPS Workers Report That UPS' Coronavirus Preparations Are Woefully Inadequate Or Nonexistent: https://jalopnik.com/ups-workers-report-that-ups-coronavirus-preparations-ar-1842420068 As one of the comments states this reads like nothing more than a hit piece aimed at UPS. Fed Ex and the USPS are probably no better. How about taking your safety in your own hands and misting your received packages with a bleach solution and letting it dry for like 24 hours before opening it?

The "lack of social mobility" has a lot do with a lack of desire. "Just getting by" is now the accepted norm for entire swaths of the population, thanks primarily to the "War on Poverty" started by the LBJ administration. But you can look at how you'd like, that it's the fault of capitalism. It works. Evolution has taught us that.
