Philosophy→PoliSci→Law. Opportunity is my favorite word. Covid policy killed businesses, communities, & education but definitely not viruses. Normal now.

I feel like there was a collective amnesia yesterday about how high gas prices were under Biden. And also people failed to understand that lower inflation doesn't mean that prices actually come back down.
The main takeway though, is that there is no penalty for Jew-hatred.
I'm seeing a lot of Trump didn't do what he said.
Fine, for argument's sake let's go with that.
But the Democrats are telling you exactly what they'll do. Like out loud. They want to confiscate your homes, your businesses, your families, your speech, your guns, and finally, your life.
I fail to see how allowing Democrats to gain more power, either by voting for them or neglecting to vote, is better?

Trans women in women's sports is a top tier issue for humanity because it's a proxy for the following questions:
-- Are we liberal society? (Or are we a progressive authoritarian society?)
-- Are we a pluralistic society? (Or are we social justice theocracy?)
-- Are we a democratic society? (Or are we governed by the unrepresentative consensus of a tiny, delusional elite?)
-- Are we a reason-based society? (Or are we a cargo cult that worships idols?)
-- Are we a reality-based society? (Or do we treat falsehoods as truths when told by people in power that it is virtuous to do so?)
-- Can we put a stop to obvious insanity? (Or are we in the thrall of ridiculous dogmas that no one can dispute because a powerful lobby calls it virtuous to clap along to absurdities and cruelties that destroy fairness?)

62 counties in New York. All three New York schools in the top 10 nationwide are in Bruce Blakeman's county.
All three spend less per student per year than the NYC DOE.
Three of the 10 best school districts nationwide are on Long Island, and the region dominated a list of the top 10 in New York State, according to the Niche 2027 Best School Districts rankings.
The Roslyn, Syosset and Jericho school districts are listed as the second, third and seventh best respectively in the United States as part of the annual rankings by Niche, a company that offers reviews and ranks of districts, public and private schools, and colleges.
All three Nassau districts in the national top 10 earned Niche’s top mark — an A+ — for myriad factors, including state test scores, student-to- teacher ratios and how well they prepare students for college.

I guess I'm going to have to smash all my Bruce Springsteen albums now.
Hahaha, yeah right, like I ever had them.

Every year, the National Council of Teachers of English gathers over 7,000 ELA educators across the country to "support each other amid the continuing literacy crisis."
This year's convention, hosted in Philadelphia from November 19-22, features the following workshops:
"Queering the Narrative: How Nonbinary, Trans, and Genderqueer Representation Fosters Resilience in Young Readers"
"Using Literature to Spark Discussions About Mental Health across Cultures"
"Multicultural Teaching in This America: Innovating and Inspiring Beyond Bias and Racism"
"Sapphic Middle Grade vs. the Patriarchy: Inspiring the Next Generation of Changemakers"
Not a single workshop has anything remotely to do with literature.
These people aren't fighting the literacy crisis. They are creating it.
I do think lines should be drawn.
But I don't know where.
Wouldn't it be nice if the taxpayer didn't have to pay for stickers?

The rise of antisemitism isn’t the problem, it’s a symptom of the rise in stupidity which is the problem.
