Re: Ethnicity about to become clearer

I mostly side with RT on this one, though in principle I don't necessarily have a problem with the government compiling race and ethnicity data. The problem is, as km points out, that the government uses that data for purely political purposes. Explain how the data is political? Is this a serious q...

As I predicted 4 years ago - more fallout from Covid-related school closings

A lengthy article, posted in of all places the New York Times, talking about how much school absences have risen post-covid. The short version is, chronic absenteeism is up from 15% pre-Covid to 26% today. What is going on here? I spoke with school leaders, counselors, researchers and parents. They ...

Re: Hot mics are the best mics

Last night's speech won't move the needle so much as one tick... And that's where you are wrong. He needs to shore up his base and some of that low approval is due to Democrats not being enthused with him. it's not just a pile of Republicans and Independents. That speech absolutely moved the needle...

Re: Truth IPO: Trump's next grift

That's kind of how our system works. In 2016, a big part of Trump's platform was that he was going to put conservative justices on the bench. People elected him fair and square, and that's exactly what he did. Fascinating to see somebody get criticized for actually following through with a campaign ...

Re: Truth IPO: Trump's next grift

What about Kate Cox and others like her? What about her? My issue is with calling abortion a "reproductive right" because such language seeks to sugar-coat what an abortion really is. I will say that in her specific situation, it sounds like there was a 90 percent chance the baby wouldn't have live...

Re: Truth IPO: Trump's next grift

First off, anybody whose retirement is dependent on having invested in a single stock (DJT or otherwise) is an idiot and gets whatever they have coming to them. Second, I'm not aware of any women who were "denied reproductive healthcare" during Trump's tenure. Only because Dobbs was decided after h...

Re: Truth IPO: Trump's next grift

I've even heard some Trump supporters in the media refer to this as a "meme" stock. The million dollar question (or rather billion dollar question) is whether it can hold this price for 6 months. I seriously doubt it. Nevertheless, Trump will ultimately cash out a substantial amount of money at some...

Re: This is the guy BMW wants to put back in the WH

I've said in here before that in recent years that Fox News has really gone downhill. I agree with RT that it has become a Republican echo chamber and that the few liberals on the network are token liberals. But that's not the point. The point is that it is not the role or job of an on-air personali...

Re: This is the guy BMW wants to put back in the WH

The people over at Fox News are also paid big bucks to give strong political opinions. Yet, I can think of no instance where any of them ever once used their airtime to criticize the top brass for firing people like Tucker Carlson, Bill O'Reilly, or Eric Bolling, nor do I recall them ever criticizin...

Re: This is the guy BMW wants to put back in the WH

She got the boot because they unwisely wanted “both sides represented” and thought the RNC chair would have great insight. This was a TV move and not a news move as the folks running it are not news people. They ignored the election denial stuff in the interest of having a top flight Republican whe...

Re: This is the guy BMW wants to put back in the WH

Watch how this man treats people who have been close to him AND have done his bidding who he continuously shits on. He's human garbage - I don't know why anyone would support him. He did that throughout the 2016 election season. Did you not watch everything that transpired for the better part of a ...
