The DemonRats have become UNHINGED. Total disrespect and disdain for Betsy DeVos, especially Al Franken.
DISGUSTING RATS!
What do you mean by Orthodox Christian? Does that include Baptist Colleges, or Evangelical Colleges or schools like Notre Dame?
I watched the entire hearing for Betsy DeVos.
The Rats are obviously in consternation, because with Betsy DeVos, their biggest contributors, the teachers union could be significantly weakened.
The Rat senators keep asking DeVos about details of regulations and laws, and attacking her for not knowing the details.
So why none of the GOP senators did not respond with this simple fact....that all Obama secretaries of Education came from deeply entrenched in education complex, yet the outcome is nothing short of disastrous. We spend more tax payer dollars per student compared to any G-20 countries, yet we have the rank near the bottom in student achievement.
That fact makes it necessary to think outside the box. Why do you think Trump won? Because voters have given up on the establishment.
I wanted to hear a little dash of Trump speak. LOL
Because he brings home the bacon, and incumbents get re-elected 95% of the time.
He was a kid born in the depression and is quite skilled on piano. Valedictorian in East TN.
He doesn’t have the “culture” for Trump speak but he holds some heavy weight.
Many here don’t care for him but he manages to keep himself out of the circus of TV. I respect him for that.
Yes. Conversion therapy — something her husband mentioned at some meeting decades ago.
I did start ups on 4 charter schools within 35mi of me this year.
The money is what it is all about.
During this hearing you heard the call for tax returns.
Alexander shoved that right back down their throat.
The left continues to try and attack successful people because they must answer to their failed education system.
Exactly, and that is all they have...politics of envy, and buying voters with government checks. And of course race, gender and scaring seniors.
I’m not sure DeVos has the ability or the experience to run, or even dismantle, a bureaucracy. I’m guessing Trump will make sure there are one or two deputies who could step in if DeVos faulters...
...and she likely will.
Franken nonsense is a moron ... A big fat moron ...
“And of course race, gender and scaring seniors.”
You mean TRYING to scare seniors.
We don’t scare easily.

Started watching an old Saturday Night Live episode a few nights ago, and was enjoying The Blues Brothers numbers until that puffed up little blowhard appeared in one of the other skits...
Immediate channel change...The sight of that little jack-azz makes me nauseous...
Wow...Susan Collins actually said something partisan to point out how childish the Democrats were acting. The Democrats spent significant amounts of their time complaining about not having enough time to ask questions and she looked over at them and said “Mr. Chairman, I cannot help but think that if my friends on the other side of the aisle had used their time to ask questions instead of spending their time to complain about the lack of a second round they would have had time to ask a second question” with Franken glaring back at her in disgust for her reprimand. She then went on to blast the Democrats for questioning DeVos’ integrity. The source is a pleasant surprise...and I’ll take it.
These congress-losers are typical LIB lunatics.
I take it you just discovered that?
“And gosh darn it, even fewer people like me!”
If that’s the case, hopefully she will realize that, and since she cannot lead the education department, she will have no choice but to shut it down and return the money to the states. :-)
Warren’s questions were ridiculous, as was expected, and she was upset with DeVos saying that she would review the rules that Warren wanted enforced to confirm the rules were having the desired outcome...that’s an excellent answer, of course, because “rules” can have a desired outcome that are not actually achieving them, but Warren was incredulous at answer, saying “swindlers were doing backflips” at her answer...this, from someone who falsely claimed to be a minority and “woman of color” over the course of many, many years, using it to gain unfair advantage within academic circles with their diversity programs.
I’m not impressed either, she sounds like 127% politician to me. I had to change channels, if I heard “I look forward to working with you” again I’d scream. Non answers, incredibly repetitive, I think she memorized two lines.
a) I thank you for that question senator _______________
b) I look forward to working with you bla bla bla.
Not impressed at all, don’t think she was a good choice. Didn’t sound at all like a leader either. If she gets the job I don’t get the impression she will do it all that well.
That said, the Democrats were in full attack mode, anything and everything they could think of to derail her. Sanders grilling her on free college and child care was off the rails. All she could do was non answer. She should have known he would pull that crap.
I’m not impressed.
