@N76247476Man Only 25% goes to schools in Ohio. The remainder goes to the States general fund. Of the 25%, the State determines which districts gets the funds. It’s the biggest load of BS. Same with the sin tax on cigarettes, tobacco, & alcohol.

Who remembers being told the lottery was to pay for schools, teachers salaries and education?

Love when my former students come to hang out❣️ @OFCSDistrict

Millions of Veterans may now qualify for additional benefits under both the Montgomery and Post 9-11 GI Bills. We’re cutting red tape and putting Veterans first. news.va.gov/press-room/va-…

@mattvanswol @SenatorWarnock @oyster_doctor Sitting in the ER with my husband right now & the Dr literally just said that the Obamacare insurance companies are dropping their patients!! It was the worst healthcare plan instituted. The system has broken way before this administration.

@SenatorWarnock @oyster_doctor I thought the… “AFFORDABLE Care Act” …was supposed to fix that? What happened? Did Democrats lie about fixing things by stealing money from taxpayers to funnel to things that don’t work to raise costs on everyone to then beg for more money again? Is that what happened?

This is the sad reality. Under Donald Trump, health insurance now costs more than the mortgage for many Americans.

@MrsJJonesOne @OFHSLeoSpagnola Loved the fresh goodies!!

@Teamsters If i had like 1 or 2 years left, I'd be pissssseeeeeeddddd

United Parcel Service (UPS) notified the International Brotherhood of Teamsters on Tuesday that it was withdrawing its latest driver buyout scheme in Central Region states after nearly 37 local unions filed grievances against the parcel giant for shamelessly violating the UPS Teamsters contract. This action will greatly undermine the company’s illegal pursuit of buyouts in other regions under the National Master Agreement. The Teamsters Central Region encompasses 13 states from Nebraska to Ohio and is home to more than 68,000 rank-and-file Teamsters working at UPS. The latest buyout, which the company calls the Driver Choice Program (DCP), had asked drivers to accept a one-time lump sum payment in exchange for legally committing to never work for UPS again, to waive their rights to union representation, and to sacrifice a career’s worth of strong union wages, employer-paid health care, and guaranteed retirement benefits. “By pulling out of more than a dozen states, UPS has conceded that its buyout programs are illegal. They are scams designed to fuel corporate greed. These programs violate the Teamsters contract and UPS knows it,” said Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien. “The Teamsters strongly urge UPS to take the next right step and dismantle its Driver Choice Program across the country. If UPS fails to do right by the men and women who deliver its packages and generate its billions in profit, the Teamsters will pursue our grievances nationwide and defeat UPS in arbitration. We are prepared to do whatever it takes to protect our members’ rights.” In court filings earlier this year on the illegality of the DCP, the Teamsters detailed at least six violations of its National Master Agreement by UPS in the rollout of the buyout program, including direct dealing of new contracts with workers, elimination of union jobs when UPS contractually agreed to establish more positions, and erosion of the rights and privileges of union shop stewards. These violations have been cited in grievances against UPS filed by rank-and-file Teamsters since the DCP was rolled out last month. The union has also pointed to contract language in the UPS Teamsters Central Region Supplement — one of 44 regional supplements to the UPS Teamsters National Master Agreement — that restricts UPS from directly offering incentive programs that are not voted on and approved by employees and the union. Until this week, the DCP was being directly offered to all drivers at UPS regardless of length of service and outside of negotiations with the union, irreparably damaging the Teamsters’ right to representation. The letter of separation that workers would be forced to sign by management to complete enrollment in the program would be irrevocable, further damaging the union or any individual worker’s ability to grieve or arbitrate the terms of separation. The scope of UPS’s latest buyout scheme is much broader than the payoff presented to workers last summer, when UPS marketed payouts to more tenured drivers nearing retirement. The earlier program, which UPS called the Driver Voluntary Separation Program (DVSP), was widely rejected by Teamsters nationwide, many of whom took to social media to shred and set fire to the insulting financial package offered by UPS to leave the company. While recent payoffs dangled in front of workers have been larger, the DVSP and DCP programs are unmistakably similar. Grievances over contract violations inherent in the DVSP program are expected to be heard before an arbitrator in May. “UPS’s actions to walk away from its own buyout program is an admission of guilt, plain and simple,” said Teamsters General Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman. “UPS wants to offload as many well-paid drivers as possible to boost its corporate earnings. The executives currently running UPS have no regard for the health, well-being, or future financial security of their workforce. The Teamsters are here not just fighting UPS to do the right thing but fighting for a better quality of life for the hardworking people who move America.” UPS CEO Carol Tomé was paid at least $23 million in 2025, outearning average UPS employees by a pay ratio of 345-to-1. While UPS Teamsters have been offered insulting payoffs to walk away from the company twice in the last year, UPS awarded $38 million bonuses to senior managers in May to stay with the company, reporting at the time that awards of up to $1 million each were necessary to “retain and motivate [UPS’s] management team during a critical transition time.”

@Teamsters If I were UPS, after this move, I’d lay off 100,000 out of spite & shut as many buildings as possible. Teamsters will screw themselves over with less dues in the end. 👏🏿The entire ploy is NOT about protecting workers, it’s their personal GREED! Who asked for any representation?!

@EricLDaugh The shut down affects everyone from the bottom all the way up, very sad. All other citizens in the United States have to go to work. Congress should not be allowed to puff up their chests & not work, regardless of their political party.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump just EXPOSED Chuck Schumer and the Democrats for breaking the TSA and DHS funding deal "to get more money for sanctuary cities and illegal aliens" "The Radical Left Democrats are hopeless!" NUKE THE FILIBUSTER. Airport lines are reaching 3+ HOURS and TSA agents are walking off the job! No more dealing with traitor Chuck Schumer!

RIP😢🙏🏻

Sadly, this article is the most accurate account of the life of a veteran I’ve ever read🙏🏻🙏🏻

A huge thank goes out to Ryco Sports! They printed 425 Final Four shirts in just a 3-day turnaround to help Bulldog Nation get ready to cheer on the girls in Dayton. We appreciate your support! 🐾💙💛

With heavy hearts, we honor the passing of Pearl Harbor survivor Clarence "Bud" R. Lane, who died at age 100, just weeks before his 101st birthday. On the morning of December 7, 1941, he was heading to muster when Japanese aircraft filled the skies and bombs ignited the harbor, thrusting America into WWII. Lane went on to serve throughout the Pacific, later dedicating his life to aviation with Boeing and maintaining a lifelong love of flight. For many years he spoke little of that day, but returning to Ford Island decades later, the memories finally surfaced, revealing the lasting weight of history he carried in silence. With his passing, another living witness to the "day of infamy" is gone, but his service and courage will not be forgotten. Fair winds and following seas.

This is Richard. He delivers food to get by since his wife lost her job. This man is elderly and it's messed up that we live in a society where a man this age has to do this to make ends meet. Something needs to change.

Sharing this graphic from OASBO. Wonder why your property taxes are increasing? Despite it being written into the constitution, the Ohio Legislature has put the burden of paying for public school on property owners because they have reduced their portion by about 13% since 1999.

Since the Clintons are being deposed today and tomorrow, I wanted to repost this.
