SEVERAL picks so far. LOTS of speculation and misinformation along the way
This week the country loudly let the PEOTUS know mittens was not on most favored list. Trump let the media know they were NOT on his most favored list. A snark designer who helped keep MO tacky advised other designers to stay away from Melania professionally. We ate too much probably on Thanksgiving and we possibly weren't appreciative enough of the blessings in this life.
Interesting his connection with the FEC.
Maybe he will work on voter IDs for all states.
Can’t be a DL since CA and others give DL to illegals.
That sure would solve part of the problem.
Just heard a commercial that Jesse Watters is going to have a special in BOR’s time slot tonight. He asked a gal what country the pilgrims were from and she said Asia - OMG what have the kids NOT been learning for many years!
about ready to leave hote/work. will check in with you tonight..
going to theater and see the first two Narnia movies. Cinemark special feature.
I have no idea where these young folk have gotten their education (or noneducation) but I do know all of the history from Christopher Columbus up to the present day are taught in our small school district.
I read somewhere that the powers that be in the fed. DoE wanted to start teaching history from WWII to the present.
Forget the discovery of the country and the Founding Fathers, who they do not look on favorably.
It is amazing what college students don’t know about out history.
I have some of my mother’s grade school exams from the late 30s. My goodness. Her penmanship was flawless. Her history and math exams were comparable to today’s college level.
“Her history and math exams were comparable to today’s college level.”
I can believe that.
I saw a copy of an 8th grade exam from back when 8th was as far as many went.
It was something that most college bound kids could not pass today, very hard and covered more subjects than are covered today.
And I bemoan the fact that cursive is no longer taught.
I have never been able to tell the difference.
I think I learned the Pilgrims came to America and Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 14 hundred 92 in 1st or 2nd grade - now some don’t have a clue. It’s totally unbelievable to me. So happy to hear that your small school district is teaching appropriately - hope many others are as well.
One problem I see/heard a long time ago is that a lot of the folks writing and publishing school text books are big libs, so they rewrite history and leave out important parts.
Dims pushing for inquiry on Trumps transition team.
Love this lady Brunnel, she really whops the dim and he is so rude, which I notice they always butt in and talk over when they are losing.

Well, I went to school many years after your mom, but I felt I got a great education in public schools and that they were much harder than today (like college type courses today, as you said). When I first starting learning cursive, 4th grade IIRC, I really liked it and would use our little book and practice and practice. Not being braggadocios but I’ve been complimented on my hand writing many times over the years. I’ve had staff, managers and coworkers writing that I could not read/had problems deciphering. Perhaps that’s why many guys have gone to printing??
“One problem I see/heard a long time ago is that a lot of the folks writing and publishing school text books are big libs, so they rewrite history and leave out important parts.”
This is true and one reason our district has used the same book for well over 10 years.
One test I have been told to use in assessing a school history book is check out what is printed about Reagan.
So libs, what's wrong with that?
I'm trying something new today with my pets. I'm feeding them about 1.5 hours later with the idea I can feed them later in the a.m. (good luck with that, lysie)
Well, the 3 dogs and 5 cats are 2 feet away and starring at me. LOL. I flinch, they move. I flinch, they move. Hahaha!
I tried this before and gave in 'cause they were annoying. I told myself, feed at 4:00. That's what I'm doing.
Guess what time it is lysie. :-)
Now, the web page looks out of date and the emailing "message box" feature no longer works.
Does anyone have a new Official Trump website link with an emailing feature? I would appreciate your assistance tres mucho!
