I saw where you were coming from, no worries. I believe we have benefitted with innovations tied to the space industry, but we should let the competitiveness of the private sector drive it now.

[Hidden Content] From the article: The NYPD's Sergeants Benevolent Association sent a damning letter calling out far-left Democratic leaders in New York City for their anti-police and soft-on-crime policies and telling them to stay away from the funeral of slain Officer Jonathan Diller. The 31-year-old father died Monday after a violent ex-con with 21 prior arrests allegedly shot him in the stomach when police approached the car where the suspect was sitting in the passenger seat. "I’m sure that many elected officials will attend PO Diller’s funeral, shed a few crocodile tears, and prominently seat themselves for a good photo opportunity," SBA President Vincent Vallelong wrote in a letter to union members. "The sad reality is we don’t want them there."

Big girl doesn't want Trump selling Bibles but has no problem with crackhead Hunter "selling" finger paintings for $500,000.

I don't want the government confiscating money from me to better humanity, the best way "extra" funds should be allocated to better humanity is to leave it in the taxpayer's pocket and not take it at all. The thought of government taking unallocated taxes and deciding how best to spend it makes me sick. Now, back to space before the "you're off topic" police show up, lol.

They look like they went through some intense “questioning”.

[Hidden Content] From the article: Every Democratic lawmaker in the Senate voted against an amendment that would bar taxpayer funds from being used to fly illegal aliens to U.S. towns and cities, according to the Republican senator behind the amendment. "Tonight every single Senate Democrat voted against my amendment that would stop Biden Admin from using taxpayer dollars to charter flights for hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens from their countries directly to American towns to be resettled," Republican Tennessee Sen. Bill Hagerty tweeted early Saturday morning. "Indefensible," he added.

The Radical Right can’t help themselves.
LumRaiderFan replied to CardinalBacker's topic in Political Forum
None of this matters, what is important is to blindly go along with this nonsense so we can say we reached across the aisle in the squishy moderate name of bipartisan support. According to some, smh. -
Given Tyson’s history, I wouldn’t trust anything they said about labor practices.
-
Tyson has been charged with hiring illegals in the past and some of their manager / operators were actually indicted. They said they were doing what Tyson told them to do and Tyson said they knew nothing about this. Tyson was not charged but is sure sounded fishy, I would guess they knew exactly what was going on.

Jasper to return to 5 day school week
LumRaiderFan replied to Dirty_but_Dazzling's topic in Local Headlines
Showing your ignorance of other's jobs now. Guess what, there are other folks that have tough jobs as well, just like the "dumb" operator you're referring to. Good teachers are valuable, I agree, but the profession is not above criticism, especially when they want to change a system that has served kids well for generations so they can have 3 day weekends, at the expense of their customers / employers. Maybe one day vouchers will take care of the problem, folks can take their money and send their kids to a school that teaches Monday - Friday. A four day week puts lots of burden on lots of families that they weren't dealing with for a five day week. By the way, my 20% cut comment in pay was probably a bad taste joke, I know this arrangement isn't a 20% cut in time and wouldn't want to cut any pay, I simply think the traditional 5 day week serves the community much better. -

We need to quit making it about the teachers that want a lax schedule and make it about the kids. I agree with CB, you want to knock a day off, take a 20% cut in pay, now there's a real savings for the ISD. -

OK, you got me, but we're talking about teachers here. -
Jasper to return to 5 day school week
LumRaiderFan replied to Dirty_but_Dazzling's topic in Local Headlines
And the folks that are pushing this are clearly underestimating the job of two working parents barely getting by or a single mother with no support. Work five days a week like it has been forever, like everyone else. -

Agree, and especially tough on single moms with no support. It's ridiculous, work 5 days like everyone else does. -
[Hidden Content] A sitting SCJ that doesn't understand the Constitution, smh. I feel like she's channeling Obama when he called the Constitution a "charter of negative liberties". From the article: As the justices questioned whether the Biden administration crossed the constitutional line, Jackson appeared to suggest that such actions can be justified. "My biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the federal government in significant ways in the most important time periods," she told the lawyer representing Louisiana, Missouri and private plaintiffs. "And so I guess some might say that the government actually has a duty to take steps to protect the citizens of this country, and you seem to be suggesting that that duty cannot manifest itself in the government encouraging or even pressuring platforms to take down harmful information," she continued. "So can you help me? Because I'm really – I'm really worried about that because you've got the First Amendment operating in an environment of threatening circumstances from the government's perspective, and you're saying that the government can't interact with the source of those problems," Jackson added. Her comments quickly went viral with dozens of people insisting that "hamstringing the federal government" is "literally the point" of the First Amendment.
