The Radical Right can’t help themselves.
LumRaiderFan replied to CardinalBacker's topic in Political Forum
None of this matters, what is important is to blindly go along with this nonsense so we can say we reached across the aisle in the squishy moderate name of bipartisan support. According to some, smh. -
Given Tyson’s history, I wouldn’t trust anything they said about labor practices.
-
Tyson has been charged with hiring illegals in the past and some of their manager / operators were actually indicted. They said they were doing what Tyson told them to do and Tyson said they knew nothing about this. Tyson was not charged but is sure sounded fishy, I would guess they knew exactly what was going on.

Jasper to return to 5 day school week
LumRaiderFan replied to Dirty_but_Dazzling's topic in Local Headlines
Showing your ignorance of other's jobs now. Guess what, there are other folks that have tough jobs as well, just like the "dumb" operator you're referring to. Good teachers are valuable, I agree, but the profession is not above criticism, especially when they want to change a system that has served kids well for generations so they can have 3 day weekends, at the expense of their customers / employers. Maybe one day vouchers will take care of the problem, folks can take their money and send their kids to a school that teaches Monday - Friday. A four day week puts lots of burden on lots of families that they weren't dealing with for a five day week. By the way, my 20% cut comment in pay was probably a bad taste joke, I know this arrangement isn't a 20% cut in time and wouldn't want to cut any pay, I simply think the traditional 5 day week serves the community much better. -

We need to quit making it about the teachers that want a lax schedule and make it about the kids. I agree with CB, you want to knock a day off, take a 20% cut in pay, now there's a real savings for the ISD. -

OK, you got me, but we're talking about teachers here. -

And the folks that are pushing this are clearly underestimating the job of two working parents barely getting by or a single mother with no support. Work five days a week like it has been forever, like everyone else. -

Agree, and especially tough on single moms with no support. It's ridiculous, work 5 days like everyone else does. -
[Hidden Content] A sitting SCJ that doesn't understand the Constitution, smh. I feel like she's channeling Obama when he called the Constitution a "charter of negative liberties". From the article: As the justices questioned whether the Biden administration crossed the constitutional line, Jackson appeared to suggest that such actions can be justified. "My biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the federal government in significant ways in the most important time periods," she told the lawyer representing Louisiana, Missouri and private plaintiffs. "And so I guess some might say that the government actually has a duty to take steps to protect the citizens of this country, and you seem to be suggesting that that duty cannot manifest itself in the government encouraging or even pressuring platforms to take down harmful information," she continued. "So can you help me? Because I'm really – I'm really worried about that because you've got the First Amendment operating in an environment of threatening circumstances from the government's perspective, and you're saying that the government can't interact with the source of those problems," Jackson added. Her comments quickly went viral with dozens of people insisting that "hamstringing the federal government" is "literally the point" of the First Amendment.

Both Trump and Biden did what most Presidents have done, with no nefarious intent, I will add. None have received the treatment from Democrats and the media like Trump has for doing the same thing other Presidents have done. Whether you like the guy or not, and I’m not a fan of the man, the constant charges, impeachments and general coverage is something that should be an embarrassment to this country, all while many ignore the vegetable in the White House.

The Woke Thread: Examples of Wokeness Gone Wrong

[Hidden Content] Insanity!! From the article: Thieves have begun breaking into houses to steal keys in order to steal cars, prompting controversial prevention advice from Toronto Police Constable Marco Ricciardi at an Etobicoke town hall last month, according to City News. During the town hall, Ricciardi advised that residents leave their car keys near the front doors of their houses so that they do not have to confront violent criminals, who he noted often have "real guns." He said at the Feb. 27 meeting, "To prevent the possibility of being attacked in your home, leave your FOBs at your front door. Because they’re breaking into your home to steal your car. They don’t want anything else." "A lot of them that they’re arresting have guns on them. And they’re not toy guns, they’re real guns. They’re loaded," he added. -
Donald Trump Declares WAR On The Mexican Drug Cartels!

Can't wait to get started on the wall again. Of course, new material will have to be brought in because I'm sure all the lay-down yards have been pillaged with the stamp of approval from this administration. -
Tough news for the snowflakes.
