    Ramaswamy won a scholarship prize for either undergraduate oor graduate matriculation from one of the universities and the prize at that time was funded by Soros. It was not money soros gave to him. It was a scholastic prize he won that happened to be funded by Soros

    Ramaswamy wouldn’t be his VP choice. I think he’ll select a conservative female but he would choose him to head Health and Human Services, or Education, to dimantle the department of Eduction. or?

    That will unfortunately be true. Teachers are brainwashed at the university and as they begin teaching, more brainwashing to maintain their approval and getting a good evaluation. It’s been building for 50 years and I have been fighting it for that long.

  • Lindsey Graham: Trump should attend Biden's inauguration

    I agree. Trump should not concede and should not attend his inauguration. Democrats refused to attend Trump’s inauguration. Why should Trump attend. Biden and the democrats know they cheated. they cheated in every state in front of us. If this is not settled appropriately and 80 million of us will never be satisfied and I don’t know what that will mean for the country.

    If legally Trump earns a second term, the democrats will choose violence and nastiness as they always to.

    If his fall was two weeks ago, due to lightheadedness from dehydration, wasn’t that when he made his bad decision on those seeking abotion and abortion doctor doesn’t have to be able to admit patients at a hospital. So he was hospitalized and made a bad decision. hm

    Someone I read suggested that since universities and colleges are accepting and hiring people with only one view and teaching only , the socialist/marxists views, they should be taxed and denied their”educational non taxes) since they are not educating students to know both/ all sides of issues. and even forcing tout he few conservative professors by firing them.

    Cordio to Lazamataz

    Yes she has done quite well for herself with a PH.D, a husband, 4 children, teaching at a university. She was a teen ager too 15 and drinking and at a home without parents. what were her parents doing about this? And now she’s a big democrat socialist, so called feminists and wants to hate on Bret Kavanaugh. what difference does it make it was 30 years ago, she was not harmed. Gee I’m 78 years old I had close calls in college too but got myself out of them like she did. I also had a mother who tried to force me on a stepfather who she didn’t want sex with, But you rise above these issues. She is disgusting and so transparent in her efforts to degrade him.

  • FReeper help needed-Montessori school

    01/19/2015 9:00:14 AM PST · 11 of 20
    Cordio to Marie

    Marie Montessori originally designed her pre-school with children who were retarded or marginally below average. Some Montessori’s may be less rigid than others but she felt that children who were retarded needed more structure than others. We registered our son with a program at Mercy College in Detroit in the early 70’s where Sister Innocence ran the program. She was very structured, you wash the dishes, then you dry them, then you put them away-and you need to do the sequence properly or you must go back and complete it before moving on to something else. Our son hated it. We withdrew him and put him in an enriching playschool program with an excellent teacher. Son was later identified as highly gifted. He always resented that label. He’s rather be incognito and has done very well in life.

  • Ashley Wagner slams Olympic figure skating judges, calls for change

    Cordio to mykroar

    Kim should have one. But Ashely Wagner has never been a favorite of mine. She went through her long program in a perfunctory way, I thought, certainly without the finess of a Kim. Ashely is famous for mistake making under pressure, including the U S finals where she was fourth or fifth because of major mistakes but was chosen to go to the Olympics ahead of a skater who earned 3rd, who was not happy or felt that a fair decision. Her skate of the long program was far from her best artistically-she just didn’t make a major technical mistake.

    Cordio to EinNYC

    As a retired teacher I know of many teachers who fail their students. And who gets these teachers? Children who are most at risk. And why wouldn’t the administration get rid of these teachers if they could? Because it could cost in the millions with the backing of their unions. So they don’t get rid of them, or they transfer them to other schools in the district-just look the other way, it’s too costly and time consuming. This is a good move-and by the students themselves. They know who is effective and who is not.

    I agree. Mr. Cheney is the brightest and thanks for his supporting Ted Cruz who not only Texans are supporting but most conservatives throughout the USofA.I understand that Cheney and W hardly ever speak. Cheney is still upset over what W did to Scooter Libby.

    I like Greta-a very thorough reporter lining up the best to interview, although I’m tired of hearing from rhinos McCain and Graham. I pass over Sean to watch Greta. I like Meghan. I guess we’ll find out tomorrow.

  • Buying a Milk Goat? Things You Should Consider

    Cordio to goat granny

    We tried raising goats back in the late 70’s when our kids were young. Husband built a goat milking stand and all. We had one large field where we had a pony and the goats-about 2 acres. Our problem was the goats would eat various weeds and plants and we could not get the consistency of taste right so the kids wanted to use it. But they are delightful and fun creatures.

    I doubt it was invitro as the three triplets-1 boy, 1 girl-and the transgenered child also have an older sibling and a younger sibling, boy and girl. So the rest of the children in the family are not having an issue with their gender.

    This child is one of triplets-I don’t know the sex of his siblings-but just suppose in the womb he missed the hormonal bath for boys and gets one for girls. I think we are all born on a sexual continuum. Just like children that are born differently some with cleff palletes, which wonderfully can be corrected, two girls with one body and two heads and different personalities, 4 limbs-And the family has done wonders in accepting both girls and personalities, complications in the future to be assured but I’ve watched them through baby-hood to high school and they are well adjusted personalities. They’ll figure out how to make the best of a not normal situation. That’s what this family with the one triplet who feels he is a girl. They haven’t pushed him, he has pushed them. He’ll find his way with parental support.

    Husband is a Naval Academy grad and I talked to a mother whose son is wavering wether to go the Naval Academy route. I advised under this administration to not go. Those in power cannot be trusted with American lives.

  • Hackers take over gov't website to avenge Swartz

    Cordio to wideawake

    The entity that he ‘stole” from was the MIT/Harvard’s STOR system where federal grants to MD’s/phD’s undergrads? have been given federal monies to make their ‘discoveries’. If you are a student at MIT or Harvard, you get to access this information for “free” and the author’s recieve no remuneration from their published articles BUT if you are outside this university system and want to access it, you must pay big bucks. I think it’s $23.00 or so for each article and the authors receive NO Remuneration so Swartz was not interfering with a copyright infringement. Our young genius felt it wrong to exclude this information from all people especially since the researchers were not getting paid. Yes he stole surrepticiously BUT Harvard/MIT pulled back their lawsuit on him and he RETURNED all the documents that he had taken to the universities. But the unjust Department of Justice wanted to make him an example and threatened to imprison him for 35 years and fine him a million dollars. He was 26 years old. I am a 73 year old Conservative woman and I can certainly see how this threat from the ever powerful attorney general would put a person over the top. Especially an altruistic one that he was. I like Annonomous’ statement too-brillant.

    Beyonce sang beautifully-it’s a very difficult song to sing with an incredible range. She wanted it perfect and it was. Vocal chords can be affected by the cold, too. Who cares that she did this. She can sing.
