The Republicans are finally getting sick and tired of being defined by the Trump family mob.

The SAT is often criticized as not performing its central task… to predict college success. However, to believe that one has to accept that students struggling at CalTech with near perfect SAT scores in their past are equivalent to Communications ‘majors’ at Sierra College with an IQ similar to that of a sack of hammers.
If the darling influencer at USC there because mom and dad paid someone $250k each for her and her sister tried to do the work at a CalTech, Harvey Mudd, MIT or Cal (in science and engineering, not Disgruntled Studies), she’d not have been there long enough to party before a basketball game.

Welcome to our CA education system, newcomers.
“The ACLU has begun sending out lawyers to school board information meetings on curriculum and very vocally and publicly reminding officials and parents that the time has come to move forward or their schools will face immediate legal action.”…..
“Finally, the parents had a chance to speak, some saying that they had been purposefully ignored because it was known they would object to the graphic elements intended for the curriculum as well as the unmonitored discussion of sexuality and gender identity. Davis reported one mother exclaimed, “How can a state that claims to be so much for the rights of immigrants and minorities then ignore our concerns on purpose? They are hypocrites!’
Davis said one white woman called the Hispanic crowd “liars” and “fear-mongers.”

Thanks for the detailed description of a blunt. As you are, no doubt, acutely aware, Bessee Blunts were showcased at the opening of the marijuana retail store in Nevada City. Did you learn about blunts when you went to anti-marijuana therapy at American’s Against Safe Access training?
As an aside, a friend’s mom was an anti MJ activist in Sacramento and had a kit of paraphernalia she would use to teach parents “what to look for”. To this day I don’t think she is cognizant of the fact that her sample bong has a bowl encrusted with thick black resin – courtesy of her daughter. Clueless.

The entrepreneur has a secret-level clearance because of his role as founder and CEO of Space Exploration Technologies Corp., which is certified to launch military spy satellites.
“Smoking marijuana is “absolutely grounds for termination or loss of a clearance if a federal employee or contractor currently uses” it, lawyer Zaid said in an email.

Quotes from our triggered time in space
Upright: “We are having the anti-vaccine discussion for the same reason we are having to remind people that commies are bad. People haven’t experienced mass pandemics or Soviets in some time. They’ve forgotten and now the loudest voices are the ones who believe the lie.” —Erick Erickson
Food for thought: “We are blessed to live in a time and a place where diseases that killed our ancestors are easily treated through preventative measures in the early childhood years. Let’s not squander that blessing because of something someone wrote online.” —Jay Sanders
For the record: “I don’t miss it. You know, everything now … everyone has to know your politics. I tried to use Johnny’s model, and I would get hate mail from both sides equally and thought, ‘Well, that’s fabulous. That’s exactly what I want.’ But when people see you as one-sided, it makes it tough. And, you know, I did it when Clinton was horny and Bush was dumb, and it was just a little easier. Now it’s all very serious. I’d just like to see a bit of civility come back to it.” —former late-night comedian Jay Leno
A blind squirrel finds a nut: “Yes, I do [believe in capitalism]! I think it also, when it doesn’t work, it’s been a force for bad, but that’s been true of every form of government that we can identify. We’ve gotten it right sometimes, and we’ve gotten it wrong sometimes. When you let markets work with rules and with people on the beat to enforce those rules, we can produce a lot of wealth in this country.” —Elizabeth Warren
Non Compos Mentis: “We should be excited about automation, because what it could potentially mean is more time educating ourselves, more time creating art, more time investing in and investigating the sciences, more time focused on invention, more time going to space, more time enjoying the world that we live in. Because not all creativity needs to be bonded by wage.” —Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Braying Stink-Ass: “This motherf—er is like ruining the planet and all kinds of other crazy s—t. And the people think that’s okay. It’s not f—ing okay. And if you’re not saying anything, then you’re complicit.” —Samuel L. Jackson on Donald Trump and his supporters
And last… “Get ready to see lots of reporters throwing their panties, and I’m not just talking about the men from Vox. Robert Francis O’Rourke is running for President.” —Erick Erickson
Hmmm. “”Because not all creativity needs to be bonded by wage.” —Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Well, that what entrepreneurship is all about.

“More U.S. adolescents and young adults in the late 2010s, versus the mid-2000s, experienced serious psychological distress, major depression or suicidal thoughts, and more attempted suicide,” said lead author Jean Twenge, PhD, author of the book “iGen” and professor of psychology at San Diego State University. “These trends are weak or non-existent among adults 26 years and over, suggesting a generational shift in mood disorders instead of an overall increase across all ages.”
