I was wait listed for NJ College of Medicine in 1972, the letter said I was fully qualified but sorry, no room. A week later I see a TV news segment that reports that the college will admit 35 minority students, out of a class of 85, whom they admit are not fully qualified but will be given remedial instruction over the summer. Very hard to not believe I lost my chance due to affirmative action. That was over 50 years ago; 50 years should be long enough.
The big problem is the unwillingness to manage disruptive students. This is frequently due to the administration coddling the misbehaving students in the name of equity or the belief that they should mainstream their problem students. Private and charter schools work because they can manage the bad students; if they have them they can segregate them so they don't ruin it for everyone else. There is practically a religious belief among liberals that all students must be coddled and not disciplined; this ruins it not only for the other students but the disruptive who never learn self control. Most teachers can be effective with good students.
I am not convinced that there is any warming. I am convinced that there is increased CO2. I am also sure that the US is only responsible for about 15% of the total and that there is no way China, the other developing Asian countries and Africa will control, let alone reduce their CO2 emissions. This means that even if the US went to ZERO CO2 emissions that we will not see any effect. Therefore our efforts there are just very expensive virtue signalling. I oppose all government expenditures and tax breaks for climate control.
Barr says he KNEW Joe Biden was lying when he said the laptop was Russian disinformation during the debate. Why did he not go public with that information at the time? Was it "too prejudicial", a reason for not including evidence in a trial? Or did he just want Trump to lose.
My favorite Fox commentator, with Gutfeld. She has the seriousness we want in a president. Better than most of the Republican field, and head and shoulders above any Democrat.
I wonder how the country would be if Condoleeza Rice had offered to be McCain's VP in '08. He chose Palin out of desperation; I am certain he wouold have jumped at the chance to have her as VP. (I would have preferred her to any candidate in either party) McCain likely would have won, and she could take over in 16.
Anyone who enters illegally should be deported for any felony.
A solutio0n to abuse would be that all fines, fees and forfeitures for all jurisdictions should go into a central pool in each state. The money would be divied up monthly in proportion to the law enforcement budget of each jurisdiction.
My wife and I have had 3. Piece of cake.
Israel gives any teacher who wants one a gun and training. This was in response to an Arab shooting up a school about every four months. Since then zero school shootings.
I can see unions in the private sector, but even FDR had no use for unions in the public sector. Democrats have been encouraging them because they always give to Democrats. Their program is generally what can we get from the taxpayers.
Be happy Fetterman is gone. Only does bad things when around.
The Kurds have been our friends. During the Iraq war zero Americans were killed in Kurdish areas.
Afghanistan cost blood as well as treasure. The right and wrong were not as clear. The Taliban were/are bad but not always worse than the Afghan government then.
1n 2014 when Russia annexed the Donbas resistance seemed impossible. Russia was violating its agreement when it got Ukraine's nukes, but was overwhelmingly stronger than Ukraine. Now Ukraine is much stronger so a Ukrainian victory looks possible, and should be sought.
The chicken crossed the road to lay it on the line.
Prohibit any spending to promote DEI. Similarly no funding for "Antiracism" which is simply anti-white racism.
