[Hidden Content] From the article: Missouri Rep. Cori Bush spent nearly $70,000 on private security over the past three months as she advocated for defunding the police, campaign filings show. Bush's campaign sent $54,120.92 in payments between April 15 and June 28 for "security services" to RS&T Security Consulting, a New York-based firm with a mysterious online presence, Federal Election Commission records released Thursday show. The Democrat's campaign also paid $15,000 to Nathaniel Davis for "security services" over the same time period. The $69,120 in security payments accounted for more than a third of Bush's $197,000 in campaign expenditures during the second quarter, the FEC records show. It's also nearly double what her campaign spent on private security during the first quarter of 2021.

[Hidden Content] We got some loons running around in Washington...from the article: Bowman praised the original Green New Deal founder, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and said his plan for public schools is aligned with the "paradigm shift" she launched for tackling climate change and creating more green jobs. He emphasized the need to transform public schools by addressing historic economic, environmental and racial injustices. "It’s time for a revolution in public education," Bowman, a former middle school principal, said. "As we deal with a devastating climate crisis caused by decades of unchecked corporate greed, we need to center our children and their future. "The Green New Deal for Public Schools represents the level of school infrastructure investment that is urgent and necessary to heal the harm from decades of disinvestment, redlining and cycles of poverty and trauma, particularly for Black and brown children," Bowman continued. "What this comes down to is whether we’re willing to provide our kids with the resources they need to realize their brilliance and have a livable planet." Bowman's $1.4 trillion legislation includes $446 billion in climate grants to retrofit high-need schools over 10 years, $250 billion in block grants to increase school staffing and social services programming, $695 billion to support students with disabilities and quadruple Title I funding to high-poverty schools, and $100 million for "educational equity" grants to address historical educational disparities.

I don’t think you’re missing a thing, very divisive. One more reason (as if I needed another) to never watch the nfl. -
Good deal, more pushback on the nonsense.
-
I been hearing that for years. 🙂
-
lol, maybe so. I guess I need to brush up on my PC woke gender terminology…but I won’t.
-
I’m surprised nature hasn’t already been deemed gender neutral.
-
A term used a while back making reference to women (not so veiled reference to minorities in public housing) that are on generational welfare with kids from different men.
-
Neither are ok by me but don’t get me wrong, I don’t get offended by it. It’s the double standard that it’s ok to refer to white women as Karen, which is a reference that means white women feel entitled simply because they’re white, which is garbage . Stuff like this simply perpetuates the race taunting nonsense. We can agree to disagree, these words don’t bug me too much either, but we’re not the problem.
-
I wasn't offended, words don't bother me too much, but this term shouldn't be ok to use when something like welfare queen will get you hammered. Neither are ok imo.
-
[Hidden Content] The gift that keeps on giving...lol.
-
Not saying you’re racist but to use the term Karen to tag white women with is. By the way, the VP is definitely a political whore, just ask Willie Brown, not that these two issues have anything to do with each other.

We would have to do away with the United States of America. I’m almost there. States that handle their business shouldn’t have to support states that don’t. Also, states that are concerned about border security shouldn’t have to fund it themselves while at the same time other states are providing sanctuary cities.

Do you think they had to show an ID to get on the plane?
-
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️

Don't go there...make your argument.

The REAL definition is simply a female named Karen...it's the racist crowd that gave it new meaning. Oh look, she's mad about something, she must be a white privileged female. You got no room to talk about others being racist when you throw that crap out.
