@Bakari_Sellers Folks saying “give the $ back to the states,” but really if it’s going under state control the tax $ should go directly to the states via state taxes, right? States that are net recipients of fed $ will be screwed. CA/NY/MA/etc won’t be funding their schools.

Trump just said he’s going to eliminate the Department of Education. He didn’t give you a how or what happens with the necessary funding for your children that come department. He just gonna put locks on the doors. Y’all voted for these next 4 years.

BREAKING: Will.i.am just dropped a new track titled "Yes She Can"—and yes, “She” is Kamala Harris. This is the anthem America needs to hear right now.

This is perfect.

@MerriamWebster @CnBsNana On a related note: gins and tonic.

The plural of ‘attorney general’ is ‘attorneys general.’ This is because ‘attorney’ is the noun and ‘general’ is the adjective. It’s not an attorney that’s a general in the military. It’s an attorney with the most general jurisdiction.

Every American should get to see this clip of Vice President Harris Retweet so more can

@Karnythia Doesn’t work that well in earthquake country, either.

Because brick was more expensive and many of these homes were built in tornado alley. Spending a lot of money on brick just to have a storm tear it apart struck many people as a waste of money.

@LauraLoomer @keprettybird @DouglasEmhoff

Wow! Take a look at this fake news story about President Trump by NPR’s @Quilawrence! You cannot trust any election coverage by NPR this election season. Did you know that @keprettybird Kerstin Emhoff’s (the ex wife of Kamala Harris’s husband @DouglasEmhoff) is the CEO of several businesses, including Ventureland @Venture_land and Pretty Bird @PRETTYBIRDPIC, which appear to have been contracted out by the @DNC, @KamalaHarris’s 2024 Presidential campaign, and Joe Biden’s campaign for media production services, shares an office complex location with @NPRWest NPR’s West Coast Headquarters in Culver City, California? Ventureland and Pretty Bird, as you can see below, share an office lot sign and complex with NPR which has been producing glowing coverage of Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and Doug Emhoff. Perhaps this is why NPR is so in the tank for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz and why they are speaking fake news stories about President Trump and his campaign!

@WHERESMYNAMEGO @TizzyEnt I’ve lived in 5 states (including NJ and CA) and traveled in many more: NJ has the best drivers. And I still miss jughandles.

@TizzyEnt I moved here from Jersey and I’ll tell you people drive bad in California

@Kasparov63 There’s nothing wrong with being proud of the good bits of your cultural background, as long as you also acknowledge the bad bits. The problems come when you do the first but not the second, or when you assume your culture has a monopoly on the first.

Amazing. This is what we have given up for moral equivalence under the name of multiculturalism or inclusion. Do not be ashamed of the values that created the modern world and do not go backwards.

Many followers not familiar with the military are asking me “so what’s the big deal about a command sergeant major?” Walz joined at 18 as a private. Rose through the NCO (sergeant) ranks, each requiring extreme competence at increasingly demanding jobs with more people & responsibility at every rank. When you reach “Master Sergeant” you are selected to serve as a First Sergeant (1SG) of a unit…if you’re good enough. Then, those 1SGTs compete for selection to Sergeant Major. Only the best Sergeant Majors are selected for Command Sergeant Major (CSM) billets. CSMs serve as the senior enlisted person in the unit and the advisor to Commanders at battalion and above. Having served with dozens of CSMs as my unit & command “battle buddy” I will attest they were all awesome. They know what they’re doing. They uphold standards. They speak their minds to all ranks (private to generals). They’re not afraid of getting bad news because they know how to fix things when they go wrong. And they serve the command (their commander and their soldiers) with a selfless integrity and a complete dedication. During social events and informal occasions, they’re usually a whole bunch of fun. And they always have great stories. But they’re always professional. So, those are my thoughts on Command Sergeants Major. While I don’t know the details of @GovTimWalz career wearing the cloth of our country, just the fact that he volunteered to serve and wore the CSM rank tells me a lot about him.

NEW Congresswoman @AOC just did a nearly hour long live where she shared her grave concerns with replacing President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee. Here’s the full video minus the very short intro she did on other work she is doing at the moment.

Project 2025 would change the 40hr workweek to a 160hr work-month, so your boss could make you work extra hours with no overtime pay by cutting your hours later in the month. See page 592.
