Kamala Harris for Pres

[fishonjazz]

class sizes started to balloon to 30 plus students in a class. So I look at the education that younger people have had and I feel sorry for them, how are you supposed to thrive in an environment where your teacher is spending more time keeping the peace than teaching the class?

.

I see this issue at my daughter's school all the time. Less and less people want to go into the teaching profession. For good reason.

We need more teachers. And more funding for education.

I was at the school this past Tuesday playing basketball with some of the kids at recess. The ball they were using was literally the worst basketball I have ever seen. They used to have like 3 balls so I asked them why they were using this one and they said the others went missing.

So last night I got one of 2 basketballs that I own (it's a pretty nice one but not my best one. My best one is for indoor and my other one is for outdoor) and got out my pump and pumped it up (I haven't used it in a long time) and wrote the name of the school in marker on it and my wife is going to bring it to school today and leave it there.

Too bad they couldn't pass the border reform bill that was agreed upon by both sides and would have curtailed a big chunk of this problem. But Trump needed this to be his campaign issue so he instructed his cultists to kill it even after they were the ones who built it. Blame lies directly at Trump's feet.

Trump is also pissed that the interest rates were cut yesterday. He wants the economy to suck. He wants immigration issues. He wants crime. He wants unemployment. He wants the stock market to crash. He wants anything that can make America worse since he thinks (probably correctly) it will help him get elected.
Just a real patriot.

Par for the course for sure….

“Powell, whom Trump first appointed to his position, said, “We do our work to serve all Americans. We’re not serving any politician, any political figure, any cause, any issue, nothing. It’s just maximum employment and price stability on behalf of all Americans.”

Powell was anticipating accusations from Trump that his cutting of rates was an attempt to benefit Harris before the election. Indeed, Jeff Stein of the Washington Postreported that Trump advisor Steven Moore called the move “jaw-dropping. There's no reason they couldn't do 25 now and 25 right after the election. Why not wait till then?” Moore added, "I'm not saying [the] reduction isn't justified—it may well be and they have more data than I do. But i just think, 'why now?’” Alabama senator Tommy Tuberville called the cut “shamelessly political.”

The New Yorker’s Philip Gourevitch noted that “Trump has been begging officials worldwide not to do the right thing for years to help rig the election for him—no deal in Gaza, no defense of Ukraine, no Kremlin hostages release, no border deal, no continuing resolution, no interest rate cuts etc—just sabotage & subterfuge.”

Today, at a White House reception in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, President Joe Biden said: "We don't demonize immigrants.

When was this bill voted on? The original one?

1. February 2024, original, when it was tied to Ukraine funding.

2. May 23, 2024, stand alone, when it was shot down in the senate.

But Trump needed this to be his campaign issue so he instructed his cultists to kill it even after they were the ones who built it.

So if Trump says, this bill is great and all republicans should vote for it and it gets approved, you’re talking around the 1st of June being signed off on.

That would have been 105 days ago, or 3 1/2 months ago.

Biden has been in office for 41 months before that bill would have been signed.

So let’s look at the numbers from the first 41 months of immigration and then the last 3 1/2 months.

First 41 months - 9.5 million immigrants (this is only till April 2024, so you could add the reported 118k immigrants from May.

STARTLING STATS FACTSHEET: Biden Administration on Track to Reach 10 Million Encounters Nationwide Before End of Fiscal Year – Committee on Homeland Security

homeland.house.gov

June 24 - 83,500
July 24 - 61,400
August 24 - 58,000
Total for 3 months - 203k

First 41 months - 9.6 million
Last 3 months - 203k

First 41 months - 97.9% of all immigrants who came during Biden’s administration.

Last 3 months - .0207%

Blame lies directly at Trump's feet.

So do you want to be honest with what has happened with immigration under the Biden Administration and using Trump as the scapegoat?

If you can’t be honest then we can’t have an honest debate.

Abortion Bans Have Delayed Emergency Medical Care. In Georgia, Experts Say This Mother’s Death Was Preventable.

At least two women in Georgia died after they couldn’t access legal abortions and timely medical care in their state, ProPublica has found. This is one of their stories.

Steve critical thinking is a process that takes depending on the individual a decent time to learn. Additionally their is no provision within the WTO to penalise nations for using the internet and other means to interfere with other states. There's a bunch of reasons for this, principally its because the "umpire" is the WTO and most of the trade law and rules that the WTO works off comes from the GATT which is now a 40 year old piece of law.

I've reached a point in my life where I feel like I'm living through the end of the enlightenment, actively watching the death of reason and logic in the public space. What a great world we've created for ourselves, I spit on the lot of you.

I fart in your general direction.

Here is a good breakdown of the border crisis.

https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/biden-three-immigration-record

Here is an article on the debacle of trying to get the bi-partisan bill passed.

Senate Republicans block border security bill as they campaign on border chaos

Nearly every GOP senator, along with six Democrats, voted to filibuster a bipartisan bill designed to crack down on migration and reduce border crossings.

www.nbcnews.com

So, yes, Trump did kill the first bi-partisan bill and most conservative border bill in decades.

Lastly, no one claimed Biden had the perfect plan, or even a good one, or that his policies did what they wanted them to do, just that they finally had a bi-partisan bill, Trump announced publicly that they shouldn't pass it, and, in perfect aryan lock-step, the ones who CREATED IT immediate CRATERED IT. That is indisputable. Also, no one takes into account the issue of people simply arriving at the border at higher numbers, or the rebound effect after the historic lows of COVID, instead they make it sound like Biden went to south America and personally invited people in while Trump stood with angels and a flaming sword, valiantly defending the border, when his own record isn't too great either, both from a crossing standpoint and from a humanitarian one. Not to mention the ridiculous border wall debacle that did NOTHING to curtail illegal immigration, but did cost taxpayers a ****-ton. When is Mexico writing us a check exactly?

The “Trump Effect” on Legal Immigration Levels: More Perception than Reality?

Despite a widespread perception that the Trump administration has drastically slashed legal immigration to the United States, a review of the data shows that temporary and permanent admissions during the period mostly followed previous trends—at least until the COVID-19 pandemic hit. This...

Eliminating Asylum: The Effects of Trump Administration Policies – HHR Journal

But Trump supporters have been made to believe that all immigrants are scum of the earth and deserve any bad thing that comes their way, that is the Trump way, the "othering" of the demagogue or aspiring dictator. And boy does it work. I guess if you don't give a **** about women children or families as long as they come from "******** countries", then you are fine with everything he "accomplished", which is virtually no change in immigration, but a severe decline in human rights at the border. Yay?




And man, you sure do get testy when the Orange One is challenged. You sure you aren't MAGA dyed in the wool masquerading in sheep's clothing? The evidence is building.
