It is a state law but only one county is even discussing pulling the book. The other 50+ counties think the book is fine according to the law.

Are you mocking yourself? I thought this was already discussed and agreed that nothing of the sort is happening.

Trump and Kushner are such goodfellas.  I wouldn't have thought keeping quiet about kashogi's murder would be worth billions.  Maybe they provided some other favors to the prince.

 

And the R congressmen are going to look into hunter's biz deals instead...

It is a shame that our current leader, a decent man, decided he couldn’t correct a wrong.

More “government bad” nonsense. 
 

can’t wait for some backwater state like Mississippi to decide evolution can’t be taught in schools anymore. 

right now the educators can't determine that a man needs a Y chromosomes in most liberal states, so you might want to watch the accusations you toss around.

Sometimes it feels like we're living in Orwell's 1984, 40 years late

https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/17/europe/ukraine-pilots-helicopter-russia-intl-cmd/index.html

On the sixth day of Hate Week, after the processions, the speeches, the shouting, the singing, the banners, the posters, the films, the waxworks, the rolling of drums and squealing of trumpets, the tramp of marching feet, the grinding of the caterpillars of tanks, the roar of massed planes, the booming of guns - after six days of this, when the great ***** was quivering to its climax and the general hatred of Eurasia had boiled up into such delirium that if the crowd could have got their hands on the 2,000 Eurasian war-criminals who were to be publicly hanged on the last day of the proceedings, they would unquestionably have torn them to pieces - at just this moment it had been announced that Oceania was not after all at war with Eurasia. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Eurasia was an ally. (2.9.3)

Yup.  Hopefully we're moving away from Big Brother now that Elon owns Twitter and is exposing it...

Welp, if Wa-Po focus groups say so.

 

 

Two people picked “pride” and “hopeful” as their emotions upon seeing Trump, but the rest pulled from the other end of their emotional range, with words like “anxious,” “neutral,” “frustrated,” “nervous,” “overwhelmed,” “fatigue,” “embarrassed,” “annoyed,” and “maddening.” Most were careful not to criticize Trump directly — they praised his presidency and had critical views of Biden — but something had shifted. They spoke of him as a victim with flaws, not as the unassailable political alpha leader that had taken the party by storm in 2016.

There is a real and valid reason No school accepts wiki as a source.

Yikes! You’ve never heard of Mollie Hemingway? She’s probably one of the smartest, calmest voices on the media scene today.

LOL. so the sources are opinion pieces in Politico, Salon, Atlantic and NYT? and fiction books by DEMS.

 

 

And a good example of why wiki is not a valid source of information.  and not fact. but reenforces what you want to be true.

 

 

 

 

The wiki entry on Big Mollie is absolutely correct. If you don’t trust Wikipedia, just trust the google machine. She (and her conservative rich guy funded Federalist website) was a never Trumper who now specializes in what’s called whataboutism.

its all opinions from other politically partisan people devoid of facts, just "she bad cause she reported facts on trump"

 

And Im just repeating the fact No school accepts Wiki as a source. because its open sourced.

Did you even try to look up Mollie’s past statements? The relatively brief history of the Federalist?

You will find that in 2016 Mollie disparaged Trump as a “demagogue.” She only changed her tune once it was clear he’d get the nomination. 
And The Federalist was started by Ben Domenech, who is so much part of the former John McCain wing of the Republican Party that he actually married Meghan McCain. 
Wikipedia, when backed up by the footnote sourcing noted here, is as

good as any other source. The old days of “I’ll just change my own entry” are over when it comes to public persons. It is unreliable only in relation to obscure persons who essentially bypass the rules by creating their own entries.

Yeah and Barry didn't endorse Joke until he knew he'd get the nomination.

GOOD FOR POLAND: 

 

Polish High Court Rules National Sovereignty Supersedes EU Authority, EU Sues.

 

The globalist neoliberal project to undermine national sovereignty and roll nation-states into first regional, then global, political blocks has encountered significant backlash, particularly in the context of the EU from stubborn Eastern bloc member states — Poland and Hungary chief among them.
