    The message at the entrance to the university in South Africa speaks volumes about the end result of what the repugnicans are trying to do to the American educational system. The move to conservativism in the school systems has no basis in truly educating today's youth but a return to ignorance and misinformation.

    It is happening in a major school system in PA and it is frightening how the person who developed the curriculum has no experience or education regarding curriculum. The teachers are being told they must teach using it and there are no teaching materials available so they are left to their own devices with the threat that failure to comply will result in loss of their positions. This was sprung on them by the conservative repugnican school board less than 2 weeks prior to school starting. I am afraid this is the wave of the future with parents having too much say about the curriculum content without any found basis but rumor and conjecture. It is sad that our children may be the most ignorant of all nations including those with limited exposure to education.

    The awareness we experience in solitude is priceless for the peace
    it can give.  It is also the key to true loving in our relationships.  When
    we have a part of ourselves that is firm, confident, and alone, we
    don't need another person to fill us.  We know that we have private
    spaces full of goodness and self-worth, and we grant the same to those
    we love.  We do not try to pry into every corner of their lives or
    to fill the emptiness inside us with their presence.
    As always, look at the world around you.  The mountain is not restless in
    its aloneness.  The hawk tracing circles in the sky is not longing for union
    with the sun.  They exist in the perfect peace of an eternal present, and
    that is the peace that one finds only in solitude.  Find this peace in yourself,
    and you will never know another moment of loneliness in your life.

    Addicting Info 

    1h  · BREAKING: Public May Soon Have Access To Damning Evidence In GA Rico Case Against Trump & Co-Conspirators As Judge Orders Special Grand Jury Report Unsealed Life got a little worse still for scandal-ridden ex-president Donald Trump after a judge who previously blocked the release of the infamous Georgia Grand Jury report in the Fulton County election crimes case finally had a change of heart, ordering the Special Grand Jury report to be released to the public. Judge Robert McBurney ruled – much to Trump’s dismay, I’m sure – that the jury report will be released to the public on the morning of Sept. 8th. McBurney noted that his previous ruling on the matter “concluded that much of the final report should not be disclosed until such date as the District Attorney completed her investigation.” However, “Much has changed since that February Order was entered.” As we’re all aware, DA Fani Willis has completed her investigation and has since lodged formal indictments against Donald J. Trump and his 18 co-conspirators. “As anyone with an internet connection now knows, the District Attorney has indicted nineteen individuals for their alleged participation in a 'racketeering enterprise' purportedly designed to interfere with the lawful administration of the 2020 general election in Georgia. This exceedingly public development eliminates the due process concerns that animated the February Order — at least for any of the nineteen indictees who might have been named in the special purpose grand jury's final report. Consequently, the undersigned now intends to release the remaining portions of that report, just as the special purpose grand jury requested and as the Code of Georgia requires.”Judge McBurney included a provision that allowed Trump’s legal team a deadline of 5:00 p.m. on Sept. 6th to push back against the release of the jury report. Otherwise, the documentation “will be added to the docket” at 10:00 a.m. on the 8th of September

    If he were female that look would be referred to as Resting Bitchy Face. Wonder what the male counterpart is? AMF (Angry Moron Face)? Personally I don't think it makes him look powerful.

    The world needs all of our power and love and energy, and each of us has something to give. The trick is to find it and use it, to find it and give it away, so there will always be more. We can be lights for each other, and through each other’s illumination we will see the way. Each of us is a seed, a silent promise, and it is always spring.    -Merle Shain

    Didn't seem to happen until his fall and concussion a while back. I think he needs more looking into it, but it would be a good time to resign anyway. Too many on both sides tend to stay well past time and become ineffective.

    I'm sure it does. Must feel awful lately that none of his usual tricks that got him off seem to work now. Welcome to the real world where you have no actual control. Getting pushed up into a presidency you didn't deserve only served to heighten your abilities, but once you lost — so went ability out the window.

    We knew this for some time and now it is being made real to Trump and family. Tide has turned.

    BREAKING: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries brutally exposes the cult of MAGA, says that the entire idea of impeaching President Biden exists solely because Republicans are taking "orders" from Donald Trump.

    Refusing to pull even a single punch, Jeffries torched Republicans by pointing out that they "have nothing to show for their majority throughout the year."

    "And so, as a natural consequence of that, they just continue to take orders from Donald Trump, their puppet master-in-chief, who has directed them to persecute and to go after Joe Biden, which may take the form of an illegitimate impeachment inquiry," he added.

    Jeffries' blunt remarks come after MAGA Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced on Fox News that an impeachment inquiry is a "natural step forward" due to a slew of vague and baseless corruption allegations against Biden.

    The House Minority Leader absolutely nailed it. Republicans won the House and then refused to pass even a single bill helping average Americans. Knowing this, they're forced to spin up stupid, wasteful distractions like a pointless impeachment inquiry.

    It's pathetic.

    llisted under, you can say that again.

    There's that and though it is whataboutism, there is the fact that Pres. Biden is only three yrs. older than Trump. Of course there's that other thing too — that traitor thing.

    Politics do indeed make strange bedfellows because I find myself in complete agreement with MTG when she says that Mitch is unfit for office

    She is completely wrong about her attack on John Fetterman. She is persecuting him because he admitted he had depression and yet her own mental health affliction goes unrecognized by her? She is as crazy as a bed bug, seldom makes claims that are truthful and valid (think Jewish Lasers), and can't even complete a sentence that has meaning. If unfit people should be eliminated from Congress, I vote for her, Hawley, Jordan, Gaetz and a few more of their bedfellows to go ASAP.

    I totally agree that she is crazier than a hoot owl, but also right about Moscow Mitch. I guess even a stopped watch is right twice a day. 🙃
