It will mean your and my tax dollars going to make profits for her private-school owning mates. More transfers of money from the less-well-off to the rich. Hidden behind "choice" that allows parents to choose for-profit schools that never deliver on any of their promises over public schools that rarely deliver on most of their promises.

The false claims 45th President has made since his inauguration
Trump: I did not have a feud with the CIA. -Okay
I did not have a smaller crowd than Obama. -Okay
I did not have rain when I spoke. -Okay
and from earlier
I did not grope women (I only said that i did). -Okay
I did not mock a disabled reporter (I only imitated him), - Okay
Clinton: I did not have sex with that woman. -Impeach him!
The explanation lies in "faith." Many Trump supporters have "faith" in the Donald.
Despite the things he does and the lies he tells, they believe in him.
Just as, despite microcephaly and bone cancer in children, many have faith their God is just and loving
PS: I will release my tax returns eventually (oops, changed my mind). -Okay

Trump And His Press Secretary Flagrantly Lied On Their First Full Day In Office
"...chose to lie, repeatedly, on their first full day on the job, about a relatively trivial ― and easily checkable ― matter."
You clearly do not understand Newspeak and the modern version of truth.
If if is good for my side,or bad for your side, it is not a lie.
If it is bad for my side or good for your side, it IS a lie
Facts are not relevant, only propaganda and positioning count.
I'm Not Afraid To Stand Up To Trump on Women's Rights, Teresa May Says
Donald Trump and his press secretary said today that Ms May WAS afraid to stand up to Mr Trump. They said that journalists, as the most dishonest people in the world, were promulgating of "fake news" when they implied that she was not afraid to stand up to him."Everyone knows that the UK is about to leave the EU and needs the US to come in and save it's bacon again like we did in WWII," said Press Secretary Sean Spicer, "so she must be afraid"
"Of course she is afraid to stand up to me. I am so wonderfully intimidating - fantastically intimidating, really - that even men are afraid to stand up to me," said Mr Trump.
"We cannot understand why lying journalists would publish anything different," they both added.

MLB Player Mansplained Birth Control To Jessica Chastain
Polls Are Bad For Donald Trump Again. Here’s Why That Matters.
I do like the sexist pejorative "mansplain." It is so deliciously matronizing.
"...they aren’t trying to identify likely voters"
Which is why Donald will ignore these polls.
If they are not Trump voters, who cares what they think?
What will Betsy DeVos’ focus on school choice mean for public education?

May Asked Facebook What It Thinks Of Brexit Plan Which Went Predictably Badly
Of course it went badly. Those who voted to leave dislike her for not doing it in precisely the way THEY would hvae done it, those who voted to remain dislike her for doing it at all. That puts 60% against her from the git-go, with only 2% - those whose desired Brexit plan matched hers - on her side. (The 38% who didn''t vote still don''t give a sh*t)
She does not say what harm it does, beyond rebuking Israel for going against US policy (both republican and democrat) on settlements.
Oh, and Nikki, the US pays 22% of the UN funding because the US gdp is 22% of the world's gdp.
Unless you want the US to be seen as a deadbeat shirker, better stump up.

Great idea! Make sure everyone has really cheap third-class insurance that does not protect them but makes millions for the insurance companies. The new america: do things on the cheap, scrap quality.
This is easy to fix. Just have every adult citizen write in to say they want to pay more taxes.

Corbyn Vows To Take Care Homes Into Public OwnershipThe government is barely paying care homes enough to cover their costs, so many (the least efficient) are failing. What should we do?
I know! Let's nationalize them, putting layer of bureaucracy and politics on top of them so they become even less efficient and more costly.
Ted Cruz vs. The Muslim Brotherhood Boogeyman
This will certainly assist Muslim extremists who need ammunition to radicalize young and gullible America muslims. Still, it will garner votes for Ted and his brand of fear-mongering politicians.
Will it hurt America? Yeah, but who cares?

The FBI, Billary and the Donald
When the FBI says something about
Hillary, the Retroblicans all cheer it for being a fair, tough, independent and
objective law enforcement agency, while the Dumbocrats all whine that it is a
partisan tool of their opposition.

Let’s try a couple of converse hypotheticals:
1) Suppose, for argument sake, the stuff about Trump and Russia is true
and that the Democrats agree that they will abide by whatever the Republicans
think we should do about it. What would the Republicans propose?
2) Suppose, for argument sake, the stuff about Hillary and E-mails is true

THE ‘GOLDEN SHOWER’ PRESIDENCY...
I always wondered how he got his hair that colour.
So politicians are blaming immigrants for the NHS crisis. How predictable
"...stop spiralling levels of immigration and reduce pressure on NHS..."
Stopping immigration would INCREASE pressure on the NHS, as we would no longer have enough doctors and nurses to provide even the services we have today, much less the services we want to have, but do not want to pay for.
So Phil McDuff, the author of this piece, is modern.
So he even starts thoughts with "so" when he is writing.
So he does it when the "so" adds nothing to the sentence.
So he even does it when the "so" distracts the reader from his meaning.
So how cool is that?

About time someone stood up to rampant sexism hiding behind the false cover of religion. Sexism is sexism wherever it rears it's head. We would not even consider someone who said that their religion did not allow blacks and whites to swim together. We would rise in anger at those who said their religion prohibits them from dealing with homosexuals. This is no different.
Good for them. In the west we do not believe that there are people so high and mighty that none dare look upon their face. And when such elitism is restricted to only one gender, we call is what it is: rank sexism.

Jeremy Hunt Flees TV Reporter As She Demands Answers
Why would anyone flee a reporter. We all know that reporters only write stories about people trying to do good, they never try to twist things so that ALL politicians look incompetent, ignorant, stupid or venal. Who can remember a single report that made a politician look bad?
Don't all reporters try to help make Britain a better place by informing people of the good that politicians, civil servants, citizens and the general public do for us every day?

"The real crisis of faith is not in politicians but in democracy..."
Again, the news media tell us that politicians are usually bad in one way or another and that democracy doesn't work. Ask yourself: when is the last article you recall about a politician who was honest, upright, competent and caring. When did you last see a piece that showed democracy working to create something good somewhere in our country?
Sorry Sam Cam – watching all my money lose its value doesn’t put me in the mood to shop

Science loses out to uninformed opinion on climate change – yet again
The key is that truth (or science) does not matter in the modern world. What matters is whether a statement agrees with us or is something we would LIKE to be true.
This may make life difficult for people who believes that "facts are sacred," but they had better get used to it: Brexit, Trump, climate change and the benefits of GMO crops all show that this is a minority opinion.

Trump and The Establishment
Mr Trump is not anti-establishment, he is anti-anyone who is
not pro-Trump. He had no difficulty co-opting members of the establishment onto his
cabinet…and he will have no difficulty firing them if they speak against him.
Our Presidency has entered a cult of personality. What
won the election was not policy or plans but one man’s slogans, flamboyance and
flair.
Telling the people what they want to hear, even if you do not believe in
it yourself, has always been a good electioneering tactic, but it usually was
based on a party platform that had to have at least some truth and consistency behind it. Now the “great leader” can tweet flip-flops daily without consequence,
bringing the high low and the low high.
The establishment did not make Trump and so they fear him: they certainly should. Whether it be a CIA expert who disagrees with
Mr Trump’s world view or a general who disagrees on the tactical situation in a
given theatre, whether it is a CEO who thinks he knows how to run his own
company better than Mr Trump does, or a judge who thinks he knows the law better
--- all should live in fear.
Mr Trump is not beholden to, nor has any need for, political party or any other US institution except
insofar as they support and advance his personal agenda. Knowing
that he leads a cult of personality, he
can tolerate NO dissent and no image may shine half so bright as the dear leader’s. We are about to learn first-hand, what
third-world government is like.
Not only party politics, the entire concept of what politics is for will
change. From Truman onward the modern era was defined by presidents who believed
they were there to serve the American people.
Every president, whether Republican
or Democrat.
Now we have a president who does not think he is there to serve anyone:
he thinks he is there to win.
Some may say that is not a bad thing: we should do more winning,
Trump’s response is “whaddaya mean: we?”
Trump's national security pick Monica Crowley plagiarized over 50 sections of her 2012 book
It was gross negligence on the part
of Fox News, the Mises Institute, the BBC, Yahoo, New York Post, Wall
Street Journal, Politico, New York Times, Associated Press, Karl Rove, Stephen
Moore, Ramesh Ponnuru, Michelle Malkin, Rich Lowry and more to allow their material to be copied.
Democrats are making a big thing
about Crowley’s dishonesty because they are embarrassed at how badly they lost.
If Trump appointed her, she must be
good for us, regardless of how crooked she is.

PS: Wouldn't it be better to replace her with a journalist? If someone admits to supporting a party or an ideology: they are not journalists, they are propagandists.
The Republicans have said that this is a legitimate tactic. We should not fill any Supreme Court vacancy until after the next presidential election: the people should have a right to choose.

Katie Hopkins Claiming ‘Racism Has Lost All Meaning’
It is difficult:
Islamophobia is racist but Christianophobia and Anglophobia are not (even though none are races).
Anti-Polish, anti-Romanian, and anti-Scottish are racist but anti-English and anti-American are not. (even though all are nationalities and none are races).
Anti-traveller is racist, even though the anti-traveller is usually of the same race as the traveller.

Donald Trump only has to get the big decisions right
He promised to increase jobs (above the level of increase that Obama had), to reduce healthcare costs (without removing millions from health insurance and throwing them back into the hospital emergency rooms), to rid Washington of politicians who spend more time raising money for their campaigns than working for America, to dis-empower the lobbyists, to stop illegal immigration and to go easy on Russia & Israel even when they bitch-slap us in public. I do hope he keeps to more than just the last one.
