@JillFilipovic Who gets to determine if they’re “actually learning” or not, though? If we evaluated, tested, and checked in on government school kids to make sure they were actually learning, I think we’d be pretty surprised.

Right, if homeschooling is actually super high quality, then homeschooling families should not object to being evaluated, tested, and checked-in-on to make sure their kids are actually learning.

@shagbark_hick Have you spoken with government schooled children recently?

Look, pro-homeschooling people are piling on this guy but he's not wrong at all. I know of families who are straight-up failing to teach their children beyond a 2nd-grade education. Like 16-year-old kids who don't know what the Capital of the US is, have never heard of Toronto, and could not perform a basic algebra problem. While it's true that there are many excellent homeschooling families whose instruction far exceeds that of any public school, the fact is that the American system of "school your kids however you want" does also yield a lot of severely stunted kids who get stuck playing "catch-up" for the rest of their lives. My wife was homeschooled, we might homeschool, I'm not averse to the practice per se, but it's a fact that there's a whole world of multi-generational homeschoolers who are not and will not rise above a 2nd or 3rd grade education level by their own volition. Should the state intervene in these cases? I dunno, the answer to the question is not as "easy" as many make it out to be. The idea of barely getting through 'Mary Had a Little Lamb' at the age of 16 should be appalling, and it IS happening in some American homeschooler families.

@DavidGr30214992 @draloneboy “America First” to people dumb enough to not realize Trump duped us.

@draloneboy All because he has chosen not to be a lunatic leftist and put America first.

John Fetterman's had a 108 pt drop in his net approval with PA Dems since 2023. His net rating is -40 pt net approval with them. His net popularity with his own party is worse than all senators who lost a primary this century. There's no historical analog to his unpopularity.

@RoKhanna Dumb take.

The Senate just passed $70B more in funding for ICE. Students in fear are counting on our party to fight back. Not a single new dollar for ICE. Tear down the agency.

@AwakenWithJP What is their logic? I’m failing to see how this means we need the ballroom?

This could be organic, but it’s kinda weird.

That narrative is exactly the kind of marketing propaganda designed to trick people. Unless the ingredients themselves are different, which they rarely are in mass processing, a kosher seal is just a receipt for a ‘shakedown’ fee. Having worked with manufacturers on the inside, it’s clear the process is a commercial transaction, not a quality audit. The ‘inspector’ comes in for a perfunctory, courtesy walk-through, collects the agency’s fee, and adds the facility to the list. There is zero forensic oversight of the supply chain. It’s an expensive marketing badge, not a standard for clean food. Don’t let a sticker distract you from looking at the ingredient label.

American shows a grocery store hack You look for the products with the little ‘U’ that’s circled (shown) Even through its the cheap mustard, it’s made with strict regulations and high quality ingredients because that means its Kosher There are a few symbols that signal Kosher and that means they all are made with high quality ingredients and strict manufacturing guidelines Common Variations - OU or circled U alone → Pareve (neutral) - OU-D → Contains dairy or was made on dairy equipment - OU-M or similar → Meat-related (less common on everyday items) - Other kosher symbols exist (e.g., circled K, Star-K), but the OU is by far the most common

@Wesley_Todd_ Terrible AI slop to sell these Ashgwandha gummies from Ukraine

Daily reminder that every successful society since the dawn of time saw it necessary to strictly limit women’s sovereignty

@restoreorderusa Randy Fine may not be a dual citizen, but he is in congress to serve Israel first. Dan is a dual citizen that wants to save America and serve American interests. Which is worse?

As a patriotic American concerned with foreign influence, I can't in good conscience bring myself to vote for dual citizen Dan Bilzerian over single citizen Randy Fine.

@RepFine We already know you don’t worry about your voters.

I tell my colleagues this all the time: worry more about the judgment of your children than your voters. Your children will forgive you for losing an election. They won’t forgive you for destroying their country. Too many leaders are focused on the moment instead of doing what’s right for our children’s future. If we stay on this path, America won’t make it another 250 years. It’s time to stop borrowing money we can’t afford. @Timcast @TimcastNews

I know, right? Epstein, clearly a Qatari man with a Qatari name and his accomplice, which is the daughter of a Qatari spy that controlled our text books, worked on behalf of Muslim families from Qatar to honeypot and blackmail our leaders into fighting their wars. Anyone that says otherwise is such a joke. They’re either a bot, a shill, or a libtard, right?

The Israel lobby talking point is such a fucking joke.

It’s always the these losers in the comfort of their protections here in the USA calling for “overhwhelming military action” knowing darn well it means sending others to kill and die on their behalf. Suit up yourself, Mark. You, Shapiro, Fine, Loomer, etc can all go join the IDF and perform your own overwhelming military action.

My 2 cents on the fastest way to defeat the Iranian regime on our terms Resume overwhelming military action (especially targeting the IRGC and key dual-use infrastructure), along with continued maximum economic pressure AND arm the Iranian people (Reagan Doctrine).  I believe this will bring the war to its fastest conclusion, one way or another (that is, either militarily or by negotiation) and to our country's and the world's benefit.  It will either result in a military victory or a negotiated victory on our terms.  We must NOT fear a conclusive victory.  And, if the regime is eliminated or removed, replaced with a friendly government, we can encourage investment and commerce with Iran that will help rebuild it.  History is my guide.

@JMerockdim @RonnieMarr3 @ronin21btc Later, bro!

@SheerMatt @RonnieMarr3 @ronin21btc Good bye.

Starting me new diet today

It’s telling that you think an anecdote about a lazy audit is a ‘vile trope.’ You’re so invested in the sanctity of this label that you view any questioning of its commercial reality as a personal attack. I’m not a hater for noticing that some industries are transparently performative; I’m just an observer. Since you’ve moved from defending the process to attacking my character, it says more about you than it does me.

@SheerMatt @RonnieMarr3 @ronin21btc because I have no idea who the certifier is. But it is evident that the comments were made from a place of at least a lack of knowledge, but more likely out of something more sinister, because it involved resorting to tropes used by vile haters.

You’re now resorting to ‘maybe there was secret work done elsewhere’ to defend a transparently performative encounter. It’s clear you’re more interested in defending the reputation of a label than in acknowledging how the industry actually facilitates ‘pay-to-play’ certifications. I’ve shared my experience; you’ve shared your optimism. We’ll just agree to disagree on whether a sticker is a guarantee of quality or just an expensive piece of marketing.

@SheerMatt @RonnieMarr3 @ronin21btc 1) I said the story about him praying as part of the process is typical BS who say kosher is the Rabbi blessing the food. 2) You do not know what is needed in most places and what you or friend saw may have nothing to do with what was done before coming to the office.

Jose, you’re caught on a contradiction. You’re telling me that there are ‘less reliable’ certifiers out there, yet you’re flatly asserting that my account of encountering exactly that is ‘BS.’ So, there can be less reliable certifiers, but not in my instance? You don’t have more information about my specific experience than I do. My associate contacted a firm to get a certification, and the interaction was exactly as I described: a superficial, check the box formality. Whether that makes them a ‘reliable’ certifier or a ‘less reliable’ one is exactly the point... the fact that a company can easily hire one of these ‘less reliable’ agencies to slap a symbol on their goyslop is why the label is a marketing tactic, not a quality guarantee.

@SheerMatt @RonnieMarr3 @ronin21btc The fact that you said that it included "prayer" is what proves that your claim is BS. Of course there are less reliable certifiers. No different than any other area. Think of FS auditors. But the "prayer" or "blessing" part is what always identifies fake claims.

@marklevinshow Come one grandpa, this isn't the fight you want.

Ok let’s do numbers. How about your zero tv and radio audiences?  Zero. I’ve millions.

Jose, you’re clearly describing how the system is designed to work on paper. I’m describing how it functions as a business model in the real world. Your insistence that ‘it’s about ingredient controls’ misses the fundamental point: in an industry where the certifying agency is a business and the manufacturer is a client, the ‘controls’ are only as good as the incentives. Manufacturing companies treat the ‘Kosher’ label as a marketing expense, not a quality standard. They pay the fee, they host the visitor, they check the boxes, and they get the sticker. Many seem to believe the symbol is a guarantee of integrity, but those of us who have seen the process from the inside know that it’s frequently a prearranged, superficial formality. You can believe the brochure if you want; I’m talking about how it actually operates in practice.

@SheerMatt @RonnieMarr3 @ronin21btc BS. Someone is lying. Either you or your friend, or both (likely). Nothing about Kosher certification has anything to do with a blessing or saying a prayer. It would have to do with the ingredients purchased and the manufacturers controls over their own purchasing process.

@WalkingFire1917 @ronin21btc Telling you what I know, buddy.

@SheerMatt @ronin21btc That’s bullshit, the rabbis have to sign off on the ingredients list and if they fuck up are liable to a lot of very serious orthodox committees that have them the lucrative job.

@mikeburkecreate @StingcatKnight @ronin21btc Definitely not a shill. Could be slow.

@SheerMatt @StingcatKnight @ronin21btc Dude you are incredibly slow or a shill
