WSJ Shocker: Joe Biden Is Old | GOP Unhappy With Asylum Order | RNC Mistakes Milwaukee For Vietnam

Stephen looks into a newspaper exposé on President Biden’s age, Republicans are faking outrage over the President’s executive order on immigration, and the website for the Republican National Convention displayed a photo of Ho Chi Minh City instead of the host city Milwaukee.

They want us to be left confused about what really happened in these atrocities, and forget and move on. We cannot do that.

Billions In Public Money Now Go To Religious Schools

The attempt to turn the US in to a theocracy in red states run by republicans is being done by a minority of a minority.  The reason they have the legislative power they do is they have gerrymandered and used voter suppression to get only their supporters into power.  Churches which pay no taxes fund the campaigns of people who will give the churches more power and tax payer money.  Churches pay no taxes, the pay no property tax on housing for clergy and many other tax free give a ways.  Yet they are constantly demanding a share of the ever shrinking tax payer funds.  They don’t add to the treasury but they want some of it.   Why because they are greedy, but their numbers are shrinking, less butts in pews means less money in collection plates.  That was their real beef with the Covid restrictions, they were losing money.  So by forcing kids to see and learn religious stuff they hope to reverse the trend and get more people back to church.  Some of them want to force people to attend at least one religious service a week.  Democracy and the freedom from religion is being attacked hard, we need to defend them just as hard.  Plus private schools get to be choosy in who the accept, so they can’t be openly racist and bigoted, they also get to refuse admission to kids that are difficult to teach or have specials needs.   Hugs.  Scottie

 

The Washington Post reports:

Billions in taxpayer dollars are being used to pay tuition at religious schools throughout the country, as state voucher programs expand dramatically and the line separating public education and religion fades.

School vouchers can be used at almost any private school, but the vast majority of the money is being directed to religious schools, according to a Washington Post examination of the nation’s largest voucher programs.

In Florida, several programs combine to make every student in the state eligible for vouchers, with more than 400,000 participating this year. At least 82 percent of students attend religious schools, The Post found. Florida is first in the nation in both the number of enrolled students and total cost of the voucher program — more than $3 billion this year

Read the full article.

The linked piece notes that much of the voucher money is going to families that would pay or already are paying for private or religious schools themselves.

 

Another giveaway to the wealthy at the expense of the poor.

Because the vouchers pay the going price of the private schools, and come out of the county schools budgets.

Rich Christians looting the public for their indoctrination camps and gutting of real education.

And then they’ll point to public schools failing in order to defund public education even more. It’s a self fulfilling prophesy. Of course most of these private schools don’t take special needs or difficult children or POC (except just enough of the smarter ones to avoid racism charges). The planning on this began when schools were desegregated….in many states, it’s now complete.

This is a major win for the Christianists. Most likely the biggest so far. Since when should public taxes be used to teach Christianity. That’s what churches are for…this is complete bullshit!

And now public dollars are subsidizing the teaching of Crrationism and other religious bunk in red states

How Trump makes extreme things look normal

The scariest part of Trump’s first year as president isn’t how abnormal he is, it’s how normal he makes everything else look by comparison.

He CHOSE!

Again she out did herself.  She talks about the tRump being a cult leader with a new song as a chosen one while she lists off his horrible choices.  Definitely a to watch video.   


Side note not related to the video, my steroids injects kicked in, after a great night of sleep the first two nights with limited pain,  I spent last night unable to even think of sleep.  Finally my spouse helped me with some relief but I only got about 3.5 hours.  

This morning when I got up I went right to my blog.  I had to eat I was starved so I had a leftover grilled hot dog and grilled hamburger from the night before.  Ron had planned on making a beef stew today which he is working on and smells grand.  But I was so crazed with hunger a bit ago at 2:30 PM (I got up at 5 am and ate at 5:30 am)  that I begged him to help me, so he made me a large salad, which I love and crave salads, we don’t know why.  I do have an issue with anemia they once said was to my large bones not making enough red blood cells, but I have not been to low in a while.  So he made this large salad and as soon as I started to eat it my cravings stopped and I could think again.  I returned to being human.  I was denied food as a child and even was hospitalized for malnutrition,  so when I get that hungry I get frantic and desperate.  I just hope now after a wonderful salad I will be able to eat his grand stew.  Now to the video.  Hugs.  Scottie

Hey Pot, Meet Kettle!

This is a grand video.  Wow, she tells it like it is, pulling no punches.  She talks about how Boebert went to NY where she was not invited to give support for a convicted criminal, yet wont even help her son.  Yes the boy that impregnated a teenage girl while he was almost an adult.  She and her husband are worth millions yet the boy stands there in court alone telling the judge he can not pay for an attorney.  So she rushes to provide cover and support to tRump who ignored her and did not invite her yet also ignores her own son.  This is the family values of the trump cult party that use to be the republican party. A great video to watch.   Saddest hugs.  Scottie
