  1. Is all of your numbers facts or is it speculation? Like I asked, is there a cutoff for the vounchers? I gave the example of $50,000. Is it $100,000? You say that if a less fortunate family doesn’t take the voucher, the banker is allowed to take it? Is that true so there is no threshold of family income? I need to find a page that has the facts but I keep seeing political pages with proponents from both sides which is useless.
  2. So the outage is fake. The mass protests and attempting to hide illegal aliens is all false since Biden did more. Got it!! The Democrats faked news in order to promote a false narrative. Any other admissions that you want to make?
  3. Is that in the law or are you guessing? That’s why I have no opinion because I have no idea what the bill says. What if the bill says that the family cannot have a household income of over $50,000 to qualify? Is that for the rich or a family that could likely not even consider a private school? On the Kelly HS website they show tuition at $13,570. If the voucher system restricts the household income, like I suggested at $50K, would a student be able to use the $10,000 as the full amount if Kelly accepts the voucher as paid in full or basically writing off $3,570 the other $3,570? Or what if the family could afford the $3,570 but not the full amount? Is a $50,000 household income considered “people with money” as you suggested? Again, I have no clue as to what the bill says but I have seen a lot of speculation or claims. I only went to public schools and have never had children so I don’t have a dog in the hunt. I am curious about some of the claims that I read. So, IF the vouchers were only for low income families, would it matter to you if it wasn’t used by people with money? As you claim, you couldn’t afford private school with or without a voucher. If my scenario was correct that a high school might accept the voucher as a paid in full tuition, would you consider it or are you simply against the voucher concept and I know that some people are?
  4. Every time a student transfers, the district loses money. Every family that decides to homeschool causes the district to lose money. What is fair about a 9th grader who can’t read at a 3rd grade level? What is the incentive for some schools to correct their abysmal performance? That is where standardized testing came from but it didn’t improve the system. It only highlighted the failures. I am assuming that the threat of a district losing money might be that carrot in front of the horse. You don’t want a district to lose money. Neither do I but I read the stats of failing schools and hate that more.
  5. What in this article shows the bill isn’t fair to public schools? All that I saw was a vote count from the House from two years ago. Is it the same bill from the previous session? What if anything was changed this session? Who gets the money, how much and under what conditions? I have no opinion on vouchers because I have no clue what it is. I know basically it is to fund private schools for supposedly the underprivileged but as they say, the devil is in the details. What are the details?
  6. Who knows? It’s a hot button topic and the issue that may be left is the conference committee and if they can iron out the differences. A bill cannot be engrossed and sent to the governor’s desk unless the Senate and House agree word for word on the compromise bill or even no compromise at all. One side could double down and just say take it or leave it. With such a narrow vote (I think) I could see one house or the other standing firm.
  7. Not much…… Another rocket today for 42 satellites put into orbit in two days, an exploration mission to the Moon and prepping the launch pad to send 4 astronauts into space in less than two weeks.
  8. SpaceX launched two rockets yesterday. I believe one was a mission to the moon and one put 21 satellites in orbit. The stages of the Rockets were recovered to be used again. The satellite mission was critical because it cleared the launch pad for a mission in less than two weeks to launch astronauts to the International Space Station. Feel free to have another company step up and launch multiple rockets per day with different missions and have to hurry and clear the pad so they can send people to the ISS. If Musk had remained a Democrat, that side of the aisle would be crowing this as a stunning accomplishment.
  9. Anything (particularly a single set of laws) that takes almost 7,000 pages to explain, is utter nonsense
  10. Then why all the protests? Are they protesting status quo? 😂😂😂
  11. Trump 4 year deficit: $5.5T Biden 4 year deficit: $7.7T Biden ran up 40% more than Trump. Biden had the worst 4 years by far than any president. Before pointing fingers and making predictions, you might want to clean up your own act. There might have been another $10T added but it would have been from the guy that just left office. 🤣🤣🤣
  12. Found it. These quotes from the Beaumont Enterprise in September 2019. “DeGuerin responded to that during his questions to the jurors, revealing that he was not charging Walker for his services.” “’I’ve been working for Calvin Walker for 10 years,” DeGuerin said. “And the money ran out a long time ago. I am working this case pro bono. I am here because I believe in Calvin Walker, and I believe in the good work he did for BISD.” Here if the link but it might require a subscription. I have one but I think they allow a couple of views before a subscription is needed. [Hidden Content]
  13. Yeah, the “money ran out” sounds like a convenience. Gee, when they come to collect the bills, you don’t have any money. 😉
  14. Going back into my memory again, which can be dangerous…. I thought at Walker’s last appearances, particularly the actual trial, DeGuerin doing it pro bono. DeGuerin claim something like Walker had run out of money and DeGuerin was going to follow it through to the end or something to thateffect.
  15. All the more reason to think that it is a sorceress pursuit as you suggested.
  16. Put him in prison and let him spend his money in there for a couple of years.
  17. Bondi just fired the Chief Legal Counsel for the ATF. If she was the architect over recent ATF rulings, good riddance. Hopefully Loper-Bright will slow some of it down.
  18. Reading slows down the false accusations. Can’t have that……
  19. I thought when they changed the law maybe 30 years ago, the sentence could be over 10 years but the probation time was capped at 10 years. I arrested a woman for endangering a child and she was given the maximum of 20 years on a plea deal but it was probated for the 10 year maximum. That was in maybe 1998.
  20. Yep….. TDS has not dissipated. It is probably more intense now but with fewer people spitting it out. Musk is an auditor. It’s like hiring an accounting firm to audit a bank. The auditors can only point out the discrepancies and/or wasted money. The banking institution is the only one that can make changes or ask for criminal charges. Musk is but the accounting firm asked to look at the books.
  21. Yes. Every government has waste in every department. I know in my police department they were spending about $200,000 annually on typists that we didn’t need. It was nothing but a jobs program at the taxpayers’ expense. While we don’t want to cut patrol officers or detectives, there is still waste.
  22. $300B over five years comes out to $60B per year. The US is currently spending about $850 - $900B. I think the 2025 budget is sitting at $900B. That’s more the next six highest countries combined. Four of those six are allies. China and Russia can combine their annual military spending and it doesn’t equal the US. In fact the US budget is 300+% more than Russia. If Russia is licking their lips thinking that the US military is suddenly threadbare then they had better take a closer look. Assuming the cuts go through, the US will spend about $840B next year and Russia will spend $225B with much of that tied up in Ukraine. Gee, we are only outspending Russia by a little over $600B. That is why the US has 11 nuclear super carriers in different battle groups while Russia and China have…. zero nuclear carriers of the three oil burners that they have combined. Your sycophant isn’t wearing well. Maybe you can google another word
  23. No. Launching American communications and military satellites is a national security and communications issue. If NASA can lauch dozens of satellites each week at a cheaper cost than Space X, they need to do so. If NASA could keep up cheaper, why did Biden give billions of dollars to Space X? It is not like sending $2,500,000 to Viet Nam for electric cars, $20,000,000 for Sesame Street in Iraq or $2,000,000 for sex charges in Guatemala.
  24. I thought they assessed either 10 or 20 years in prison, probated for 10 years. In maybe an interesting note, Walker also claimed a Fifth Amendment violation of double jeopardy since he had already been convicted in federal court and all other counts dismissed. The right to travel nonsense as claimed, doesn’t exist. The right to travel is not expressly mentioned in the Constitution. We do have the right to travel. Apparently that confuses people with the privilege to drive. They are separate issues. We can go to or from any state, live in any state and work in any state with no restrictions from the state. Without a driver’s license we can walk, ride a bicycle, ride in a bus, ride with another person driving, be on a horse, fly in on a plane and so on. So we are free to “travel” without a license. Obviously we all know that but some people claim that right to travel prohibits a state from requiring a license. The crazy part is that most sovereign citizens claim to go by the Constitution. They simply ignore the parts that they don’t like. “ I absolutely believe in the Constitution!!! Well, most of it….”.
