@Joeinblack Who is paying for the special ed services being provided by CPS?

Please note that it is not optional for Catholic families to fund public schools, the money is taken and then given to the public schools As a Catholic school administrator and Priest, it’s pretty rare to find people within the public school system who understand this. They love the money they take from Catholic School families but that’s as far as the love goes. I’ve actually had innumerable people tell me Catholic school kids shouldn’t be able to ride the public school buses because they don’t pay for the schools. Of course they pay for it.

@MattisRedacted Strange response.

@HistoryLover57 Cope.

Do Europeans just not learn about the Spanish American War? Not only did we win without European help, but we defeated a European empire. Before we were a major power ourselves. Single handedly. In two theaters. Dressed like this.

@maddogg_a2 @MSUFanJay HIS camp reached out to MSU. Not the other way around.

@MSUFanJay So Izzo tampered?

People are crying rn about Sherrell, its our battle to lose, been confirmed his camp reached out to us before the portal even opened, look at whos involved, theyre gonna drive up a bidding war and Izzo isn’t gonna pay way above what he’s worth, but still mutual interest.

@GophinAround This isn’t the final

@HistoryLover57 this does not explain why they are cheering for Denver in the final

Someone please explain to me, how its *not* embarrassing for the NoDak fans in green to be standing and cheering that their conference "rival" just punched a ticket to the natty a few hours after they got bounced.

@PressSec You commented so it’s true

This tweet cites a Daily Beast re-write of another article, filled with anonymous sources who clearly lied, because the story has now been totally rebuked by both the Pentagon and by Cardinal Christophe Pierre. This is 100% garbage Fake News. The reporters who wrote it should immediately retract their stories, and the “influencers” who fell for it should delete their tweets.👇

My best friends are Catholic, I have been to mass so many times before and even to St. Peters in NYC. I love Catholic people but this new Pope is evil, you can sense it in your bones. He may be the false Pope as many have said to be in the future. The church needs to remove him before he destroys the entire church. I don’t care where he is from, evil comes from all countries.

@DarkoStateNews That one hurt bad. Just like BU in 1990 and Ohio State in 1998.

I’m still more mad about MSU Hockey blowing a 3-1 lead with minutes left than anything else that has happened in sports this year.

@DylanEveryday Amazing what Nick can do when he has to show up to practice.

This is how nick saban’s alabama practices looked

@1619pacerdad @yount1130 You cannot eliminate off time elections. These are special elections and primaries.

@yount1130 In person, national holiday once a year… No more off time/spring/August elections Its this important.

Go back to in-person voting. It is the mail-in stuff that seems to be unmanageable here. So, simply end it.

@JD_Jerbear How is Denver the host in Chicago?
