Florida teachers strip classroom shelves of books in response to DeSantis ban
He thinks that big government in Talahassee know better than your school board.
He wants too control your students minds and what they can think about.
Is it time for a law to ban classism?
Yes! Make it an offense to use "posh" as a derogatory term.
Doesn't the legislature have better things to do than pass laws affecting, at most, 200 people?
"current estimated value is between $100 million and $200 million, a sum the plaintiffs said they would consider in lieu of the actual return of the work."
That pretty much says it all. Who are these heirs? A great-grandson with a history of suing collectors for legitimately sold paintings? And, after all, it's a lot of money.
PS: The painting was not sold in Nazi Germany, it was sold to a Jewish art collector and, in the 1970s, neither Adler's son nor any other family member expressed concern regarding the museum’s ownership of it

To be fair, President Trump wasn’t that bad..
except when he incited an insurrection against the government…
Or when he mismanaged a pandemic that killed a million Americans…
Or when he separated children from their families, and then lost those children in the bureaucracy
Or when he tear-gassed peaceful protesters on Lafayette Square so he could hold a photo op
Or when he separated children from their families, and then lost those children in the bureaucracy

Or when he has the worst jobs record of any president in modern history,
Or when he pressured Ukraine to dig dirt on Joe Biden,
Or when he fired the FBI director for investigating his ties to Russia,
Or when he took Vladimir Putin’s word over the US intelligence community,
Or when he diverted military funding to build his wall,
Or when he caused the longest government shutdown in US history,
Or when he called Black Lives Matter a “symbol of hate,”
Or when he lied nearly 30,000 times,
Or when he ejected reporters from the White House briefing for asking tough questions,
Or when he vetoed the defence funding bill
Or when he refused to release his tax returns,
Or when he increased the national debt by nearly $8 trillion,
Or when he had three of the highest annual trade deficits in U.S. history,
Or when he called veterans and soldiers who died in combat losers and suckers,
Or when he refused to concede the 2020 election,
Or when he called neo-Nazis “very fine people,”
Or when he called neo-Nazis “very fine people,”
Or when he suggested that people should inject bleach into their bodies to fight COVID,
Or when he withdrew the US from the Paris climate accords,
Or when he withdrew the US from the Iranian nuclear deal,
Or when he withdrew the US from the Trans Pacific Partners
Or when he suggested the US should buy Greenland,
Or when he repeatedly called the media “enemies of the people,”
Or when he violated the emoluments clause,
Or when he falsely claimed that he won the 2016 popular vote,
Or when he falsely claimed that he turned down being Time’s Man of the Year,
Or when he charged the Secret Service jacked-up rates at his properties,
Or when he used his Twitter account to blast Nordstrom when it stopped selling Ivanka’s merchandise,
Or when he claimed that his losing tariff war was a win for the US,
Or when he pressured the governor and secretary of state of Georgia to “find” him votes,
Or when he drew a map with a Sharpie to justify his inaccurate tweet that Alabama was threatened
Or when he rolled back regulations that protected the public from mercury and asbestos,
Or when he rolled back regulations that stopped coal companies from dumping waste into rivers
Or when he promised that Mexico would pay for the wall (it didn’t),
Or when he completely gutted the Voice of America,
Or when he eliminated the White House office of pandemic response,
Or when he held private meetings with Vladimir Putin without staff present,
Or when he suggested that wind turbines cause cancer,
Or when he blurted out classified information to Russian officials,
Or when he abandoned Iraqi refugees who’d helped the U.S. during the war,
Or when he still hasn’t come up with a healthcare plan
Or when he still hasn’t come up with an infrastructure plan
Or when he said that any opinion poll showing him behind was fake,
Or when he falsely claimed that mail-in voting is fraudulent,
Or when he lied about spending lots of time at Ground Zero with 9/11 responders,
Or when he took many top secret documents with him when he left the White House,
But I'm sure none of the above comes close to whatever is (or is not) on Hunter Biden's laptop.

They feared the attention might go to the bride and groom and wanted to get the attention back to themselves, where they thought it belonged
Parents like me with trans children know how terrifying this latest political move is
Disney’s Splash Mountain Closed. Absolutely! Schools and teachers should keep everything that happens in schools a secret from everyone, even the parents! Anything else is weaponizing the truth.
If a rumour gets out, they can call it mis-information.
The odd farewell comes as Disney takes steps to erase the ride’s racist back story.
With a name like "Splash Mountain" how could it NOT be racist?

It’s time for answers on Zahawi’s tax dispute
The HMRC determined that Zahawi did his taxes wrong. He paid what they said he owed plus interest and a penalty in accordance with the law. What lacks integrity about that? What more transparency do you want?

Gender tourism for 0.00000001%. Certainly worth fighting for.
Whilst they continue to behave as though it’s one rule for them and another for everyone else
Wait a minute, Did he do it? Yes. Did he pay the fine? Yes
Seems like he is following the same rules as everyone else.

There’s a reason women like Jacinda Ardern leave politics – and it’s not as simple as ‘having kids’
Florida Rejects A.P. African American Studies Class
The state’s Department of Education said the course content was “inexplicably" contrary to Florida law and significantly lacks educational value.
Mother defends daughter’s unusual name after trolls tell her she will be bullied
Yes, Like stuffing the economy.
Jacinda Ardern Will Be Gone Soon but New Zealand’s Economic Troubles Are Here to Stay, Perhaps this is why: get out while the getting is good.
The state’s Department of Education said the course content was “inexplicably" contrary to Florida law and significantly lacks educational value.
Of course it was inexplicably contrary, because it might lead people to believe that there is some racism in the state of Florida.
Why is the Independent bullying this family? Just because it can?

‘Outrageous’: Santos assigned to two House committees despite fabricated resume
He is well suited for the Small Business role, as he knows fraud very well. But on the Science, Space and Technology committee it is hard to see how his lying will play out. Perhaps he will say that climate change is a hoax? Or tell NOAA that a hurricane affected Alabama.
Law to ban conversion therapy will include transgender people, government says
Health secretary tells striking NHS nurses: Take the money and patients will pay the price
He is well suited for the Small Business role, as he knows fraud very well. But on the Science, Space and Technology committee it is hard to see how his lying will play out. Perhaps he will say that climate change is a hoax? Or tell NOAA that a hurricane affected Alabama.
Does that mean puberty blockers will be illegal? They are definitely conversion therapy.
Everybody will pay the price.... except for the government, who could solve this dispute by negotiating.
After Aileen Wuornos, can men ever trust women again? Isn't it difficult for us to ask people to trust women when so many are serial killers?
After Omagh and Bloody Friday, can we ever trust the Irish again? Isn't it difficult for us to ask people to trust the Irish when so many are subject to serious complaints.

=Outrage after Missouri GOP makes dress code change that only affects women
Isn’t My Granddaughter Too Young to Walk Home Alone?
After her son-in-law refused her offer to pay someone to accompany her 9-year-old granddaughter from quarter-mile walk from the bus stop, a worried reader wonders what she can do.
Didn't everyone already know that women are second-class citizens in Missouri.
Should a painting by a Nazi still hang in a prominent gallery?
No. Everything any NAZI or any anti-semite ever did should be expunged, like Coco Chanel dresses and perfume, poems by Ezra Pound and TS Elliot as well as any Ford motor car. Also any music by Wagner.
If we don't do this, students may learn that we had a racist past
After her son-in-law refused her offer to pay someone to accompany her 9-year-old granddaughter from quarter-mile walk from the bus stop, a worried reader wonders what she can do.
Yes, she is. You should have someone accompany her until she is at least 25 years old.

Exxon Scientists Predicted Global Warming, Even as Company Cast Doubts
Starting in the 1970s, scientists working for the oil giant made remarkably accurate projections of just how much burning fossil fuels would warm the planet.
G.O.P. Leaders Stand by Santos as New York Republicans Call on Him to Resign
Black patients reveal trauma of organ donor shortage after decade-long wait
Cousin of BLM co-founder dies after being tasered by LAPD officer
Starting in the 1970s, scientists working for the oil giant made remarkably accurate projections of just how much burning fossil fuels would warm the planet.
Because G.O.P leaders like lying to their constituents: they do it all the time.
I guess blacks just don't care about their neighbours, as consent rates were 40% for ethnic minority donors last year, compared to 71% for white potential donors
"How did this result in his death?”
Maybe because he committed a felony hit-and-run and attempted to get into another person’s car without their permission.
Government hoping no one notices that their £42 billion tax avoidance black hole could comfortably give every public sector worker a 10% pay rise
The government is really hoping that calculator owners don’t take a cursory look at what they could do with all the tax they are not collecting.
After the Commons Public Accounts Committee announced there is £42 billion in outstanding tax debt that the government doesn’t have the resources to collect, a nation of people who only studied maths to 16 have still all arrived at the same obvious conclusion

After the Commons Public Accounts Committee announced there is £42 billion in outstanding tax debt that the government doesn’t have the resources to collect, a nation of people who only studied maths to 16 have still all arrived at the same obvious conclusion
Taxpayer Sharon Williams told us, “Hang on, the Office of Budget Responsibility’s own figures said it would cost about £18 billion to give every public sector worker a 10% pay rise, which the government said it couldn’t afford. Fair enough I suppose. Yet the government hasn’t gone after the £42 billion in tax that it’s already owed by businesses and individuals.
“Let me do some quick calculations… yep… then you carry the… yep…okay. Right. Yes, it looks here like we could collect all the tax we are already owed, give all the public sector workers a 10% pay rise, and still have £24 billion left over to give the NHS a 15% budget bump.
“Then again, I only have a GCSE in maths, so what do I know? But I do think that if you can’t afford 18 of something, because someone else owes you 42 of something, the answer is pretty simple

Harry says Diana’s ex-butler ‘made my blood boil’ by releasing ‘tell-all book’
Art history professor fired for showing medieval paintings of prophet Muhammad in class
Of course they did: they are tax cheats who don't like to pay for things they funded.
There is a rule for me and another rule for everyone else.
“As a Muslim and a Black person, I don’t feel like I belong, and I don’t think I’ll ever belong in a community where they don’t value me as a member, and they don’t show the same respect that I show them.”
What respect do you show them? You think rubbishing their belief in art is being respectful?
As long as you think of yourself first as a Muslim and a Black person, rather than as a member of the student body or the St Paul community, you will not belong. Why are you so divisive.

What We Learned From Prince Harry’s Interviews
One in three Tory voters lose faith in Brexit, poll finds
That he should shut up. We are tired of you people in the media jumping on this gossip as if it were news.
Hello, Gullible.
CNN host Erin Burnett calls out Republican over ‘young lady’ remark:
A wounded teacher, a 6-year-old suspect: The latest school shooting is a ‘red flag for the country’
Absolutely. She is neither young (46) nor a lady, as her reaction shows.
Still, it does speak to those who want all kids to have guns to protect themselves: if his classmates had been armed, their could have been a real fire fight.
"However, a juvenile judge could revoke a parent’s custody and place a child under the purview of the Department of Social Services." That would be good. Get him sexually abused to go along with his previous worries.

Harry condemned by Caroline Flack’s former agent for sharing details on ‘tainted’ romance
Everybody wishes he would just shut up.
He got his brother, then he got his father, now he is throwing ex-girlfriends under the bus.
Will he also through Meghan Markel and his therapist under the bus?
He will if it seems he will make more money.

Why do these people get such coverage when they are only 0.004% of the population.
There are more paedophiles than this, why don't they get the same coverage.
Most don't CHOOSE to be paedophiles, but we discriminate against them just the same.
Boycott threatened against Suella Braverman’s plans to X-ray vulnerable child refugees
Outrageous. There is no need to check their stories, because illegal aliens don't ever lie.
Besides, people should lie to your government when ever they want to.
Why not? They lie to us?
Outrageous. There is no need to check their stories, because illegal aliens don't ever lie.
Besides, people should lie to your government when ever they want to.
Why not? They lie to us?
As the Republican leader has made concessions to the far right, he has effectively agreed to give them carte blanche to disrupt the workings of the House — and to hold him hostage to their demands.
The election was rigged, One of the worst cases of voter fraud we have seen.
Yes. Harry is damaged goods. He was clearly suffering from PTSD from the age of 12.
Why was he even allowed to enlist and serve?
Yes. Being ordinary is the true crime here, right Katie?
Who should we blame, then?
Interesting that you call and armed insurrection a "riot".

Prince Harry says William was ‘gone forever’ after he married Kate Middleton
Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in you life. Harry has found his.
He talks incessantly about himself and throws his family under the bus for money.
Yes, but it IS extremely funny and funny for everyone except MAGATs.
The MAGAts don't want to rule, they just want to obstruct.
I think the House Speaker election was rigged.

Republicans Gather In Congress To Vote On Who Will Fail The Voters This Time
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Republicans in Congress are gathering to vote for their preferred politician who will let the voters down over the next two years.
"This is an honorable tradition, where we come together as team players to choose the one man who will most effectively preserve our power while doing the opposite of everything we promised our voters and spending trillions of dollars," said Rep. Dan Crenshaw. "Anyone who opposes our pick is anti-American!"
At publishing time, Republicans had considered just electing a Democrat Speaker of the House since there isn't much difference anyway
After 50 years, they have finally figured out where the money is.
They want to repair the relationship with their family after trashing them unmercifully.
Just another example of their need to have attention.

Yes, No more Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Hamilton. 'Indeed, we should change the name of schools named after 41 of the 56 who signed the Declaration of Independence.
