@CynicalPublius Those that can do.those that can’t TEACH !

I have a theory as to why primary and secondary education in the the USA has become garbage. There was a time in America where the smartest, most capable women really could not expect to hold jobs in high ranking positions in industry, or government, or medicine or the law. So really intelligent, gifted women became primary or secondary school teachers. This worked well because teaching at that level also implicitly acknowledged motherhood, and those women could impart their knowledge to school children while being successful homemakers. Thus, for much of the 20th Century, America's children were trained by some of the nation's best and brightest brains. Today, however, really intelligent women have unlimited opportunities in many professions, and they choose the more lucrative paths like medicine or the law. Thus, in many cases (not all), today's primary and secondary school teachers are the intellectual dregs of society, drawn to the profession because it's all they can do and because it enables them to brainwash generations with the Karen/Marxist activism that inevitably accompanies the low IQ, socially aware brain. The only fix I can see to this is to pay teachers a great deal more money but also establish meaningful competency/IQ tests as a gating item for the job. That, plus charter schools and all other programs that provide meaningful school choice to parents.

Maybe Abdul El-Sayed is winning hearts and minds in liberal Michigan. ……or maybe he’s just running against this?

Sure, New York City rents hit an all time record high today, but at least the mayor is still very eloquent on social medi…whoops!

@hardwoodjunkies @marcthiessen

@kapetape @marcthiessen elected in a special election after her husband’s death because, again, THE US CONSTITUTION DOES NOT ALLOW APPOINTMENTS TO THE HOUSE so not only do you not even know what happened in your own congressional district, you’re too fucking stupid to know how to use the internet…?

Good lord you are ignorant! When Mel Carnahan (D-MO) — died in a plane crash in October 2000 his widow Jean Carnahan was appointed to the seat. Hale Boggs (D-LA) — House Majority Leader died in a plane crash in 1972; his widow Lindy Boggs took his place and served until 1991. Debbie Dingell replaced John Dingell. The list goes on. Learn something about America!

@hardwoodjunkies @marcthiessen She was appointed to his seat until a special election in the spring. Why is this so hard for you to grasp you brain dead MORON!!

@hardwoodjunkies @marcthiessen This happened in the Congressional district where I live….. but, you were saying?….

@kapetape @marcthiessen the level of triggered cuck you have to be to know i’m factually right but still come here to cry anyway is truly unfathomable

@hardwoodjunkies @marcthiessen Brunson would be disappointed in your ignorance….

@marcthiessen This is a lie. Boggs & Dingell both won elections to replace their husbands. And even without knowing about their cases specifically, if you weren’t a retarded hypocrite you’d know the US Constitution doesn’t allow for appointments to the House. Learn something about America!

@Sassafrass_84 @Niknakgirl23 @grok Thanks @grok

@Sassafrass_84 @Niknakgirl23 Hey @grok is this true?

Read it again. Such a good reminder.

Even in death, the NY Times has more criticism for Republicans than terrorists.

Billie Jean King defeating Bobby Riggs was an inspirational moment that transcended sports - hang on, being told that’s Horshack.

Michael Avenatti. Graham Platner. Ro Khanna. Two down. One to go.

@FreddyLA7 Welcome home!!

Hello again. We’re currently in Clemson, South Carolina. I’ve decided to come back here to document the final part of our road trip. The main reason I deactivated my account two weeks ago was that things became increasingly toxic. For some people, it’s unfortunately unfathomable that a good story can exist without some kind of hidden agenda behind it. There was even a Reddit group going through my entire account trying to find anything they could use to reveal my identity. I know this was only a small percentage of people, but after a while it became exhausting. During the last two weeks, I received so many kind messages on Instagram, and they really made me realize how many people genuinely enjoyed following the trip. Some people even told me that their grandparents regularly ask them, “What are the Germans up to today?” I think that’s really cool. I decided to continue because I realized that the overwhelming majority of people loved following along. A small group of very loud people shouldn’t be able to ruin something that brought so many others joy. I also want to clear something up, as people who follow me on Instagram already know. I’ve been to the United States before. This is not my first visit, and I’ve never claimed that it was. The last time I was here was in January 2022, when I visited New York and Philadelphia. A lot of people shared my Raising Cane’s post from November 2025 to make it look like I was secretly American. That post wasn’t from the United States, it was from my trip to Saudi Arabia. This is my first time back in the U.S. in more than four years, and apart from Boston, I’d never visited any of the places we’ve been to on this trip before. That’s probably why many people assumed it was our first time in America, because for all of these places, it actually was. And let me tell you, Ohio and Alabama are very different from New York City or Los Angeles. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks for reading.

@KwikWarren She lost because she was insufferable twat!

I’ve been saying this for the longest. donald trump didn’t beat Hillary Clinton…Bernie Sanders did.
