[ (Critical Race Theory) isn’t really education at all, not in the sense in which the term has been understood in the post-Enlightenment era. It is closer to pre-Enlightenment religious instruction: the imparting of doctrinal truth with the practical aim of saving souls and reordering the world. Hence its migration from college campuses to K-12 schools, where its practitioners expect to find supple and more-suggestible minds. They have taken to heart the old Jesuit maxim about the first seven years of life. – Gerard Baker in the 22jun21 WSJ (here)]

    ” How about co-dependant or co-dependency depending on the grammar. ”
    What can I say, it’s complicated.

    Also, there are the vagaries of surpluses, the cost of shipping, business and treaty arrangements. It’s not like shoes however, a thing the US is unable to make anymore, we could be ‘self-sufficient’ in the simplistic way you think of it if necessary.
    In the final analysis, the US produces (produced?) a surplus. It’s like any other good, you are probably exporting whether or not you are producing a surplus or deficit. If all oil were identical, you could probably still make a case to ship crude from Alaska to Japan and from Saudi Arabia to Texas.
    Naturally, the US Left is dead set against fracking (which I’ll bet has lowered CO2 emissions more than any other single thing) and pipelines (so so much safer than ships and railroads). So my bet is on a future deficit.

    I was using the numbers you provided in your link to emphasize the extent of Obama’s deficit compared to Trumps. How do you explain that?
    Here’s is your post intact including the link you provided and referred to in your post. That link is what I used in my response to this.
    “PaulE 817am – Probably for the same reason you kept very quiet about Obama, with the sound of silence now continuing under Biden. According to the OMB, Obama raised national debt by 74% and Trump by 33%. And what does all this have to with CRT, unless progressives’ lying about presidential debt is the point you want to make?
    https://www.thebalance.com/us-debt-by-president-by-dollar-and-percent-3306296
    Now you say this: “And circling the ‘which president spent how much’ barn is a futile exercise when the entire deficit dollar amount is attributed to the WH, without even regard to how much of the budget is discretionary. Again, you apprehend it all with the simplicity of a mid-schooler in his first (what used to be known as) civics class.”
    cn you explain this obvious contradiction?

    “cn you explain this obvious contradiction? ”
    I don’t see the problem with saying (a) the President is not 100% in charge of how much money is spent and (b) the increase was higher under Obama than Trump.
    Those are both true statements. It’s not an ‘obvious contradiction’ unless obvious means ‘bullshit that I made up’.
    I think it all get nailed with the ‘mid-schooler in civics class’ angle, although it’s all starting to sounds like Of Mice and Men. TELL ME ABOUT THE BUDGET, GEORGE.
    Of course, in an era of the Wokester Civil War, Obama is looking pretty damned good. Instead, we have President Potato and the Free Shit Army attempting to destroy all civic institutions.

    AOC is mocking ordinary people as “hysterical” who are afraid of violent crime in their neighborhood: people who, unlike her, don’t have reams of private security.

    Hmmm. Well, AOC should know all about hysteria. She is still going through therapy over Ted Cruz trying to have her murdered while she was safe and sound in a building NOT on Capitol Hill on Jan 6. Her life passed before her and she cried out to fellow lawmakers casually sipping coffee in an adjacent office that she won’t see her dream of having a baby. Goodbye cruel world.
    Double hmmm: Isn’t AOC the one who said she is not going to bring a child into this world because of Climate Change? Back to therapy for her. Hysterical, in more ways than one.

    ‘Amid Surging Crime Rates And Murders, Oakland City Council Votes To Defund Police’
    Despite recently receiving $190 million from the Biden Administration, the City Council of Oakland, California voted Thursday to defund their police department by almost $18 million. The city’s crime rates have skyrocketed, seeing a 90 percent increase in murders, 88 percent increase in carjackings, and 70 percent increase in shootings all in the last year.
    Sixty-five lives have been lost, and 1,300 robberies have been recorded, yet, the city redirected police funds toward the Department of Violence Prevention, “with the intention of improving public safety” via alternate means.
    On Monday, the Department of Violence Prevention’s chief was interrupted during an on-camera interview by an attempted armed robbery. The department’s chief was being interviewed on the steps of Oakland City Hall, when they were attacked. The suspects remain outstanding.
    Rather than help police officers confront Oakland’s growing crisis, the city plans to fund the employment of “violence interrupters” and “community ambassadors.” This redirection of funds will increase police vacancies, leading to slower emergency response times.

    Over the dissent of three liberal justices, the court held 6-3 that the immigrants are not entitled to a hearing about whether they should be released while the government evaluates their claims.
    Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the court that “those aliens are not entitled to a bond hearing.”

    Barry, Barry, Barry @ 8:56 pm.
    You are wasting your time, my fine fellow. Complete waste of time. Have you no learning? What’s wrong with you? Have you overlooked one critical fact that is starring you right in the face? My good man, Paul uses the right side of his brain. The artistic side. There is a broken link to the Left side. It ain’t empty’s fault. It just will not compute no matter how much you give it the ole college try.
    Right side of the brain, left side of the brain. Paul emery is an artist, a musician, an actor, a sidewalk and pub guitar man, Not to mention a Professional Entertainer. Artists can be strange breeds and moody and crave attention and some are anal retentive/OSD neurotics, but beside that, they are generally just go about listening to the music playing in their heads. There is a broken connection. As The Fox pointed out @ 2:05 pm over on Open letter to Gov Employees and Neighbors, ‘there is something missing.’
    Latest science reveals that artists recovering from strokes need the Left Side of the brain as well as the Right Side of the organ to recover. Let’s pray empty never has a stroke. His left side is like new, never used, and he will be screwed if he needs to rely on his left side for full recovery. Let’s hope he starts exercising that side of his thinker before he really needs it. Show some understanding. Bonus: It relieves the frustration. Are you really going to move that 50 ton boulder by smashing your head against it? :).
    A task in futility. Like picking a scab.

Trump used his false claims to justify an attempt to try to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

    BLACKOUTS: THE NEW NORMAL
    The “green” energy boom has devastated America’s electric grid. Americans are used to having reliable electricity, but across the country dispatchable energy sources–coal, nuclear, in some cases natural gas–are being replaced with unreliable sources, i.e. wind and solar. The result is increasing fragility of the grid, which is being manifested in blackouts.
    First there were rolling blackouts in California. Then a polar vortex led to brownouts in Minnesota, with residents being told not to take hot showers and some being put up in motels. More recently, there was a disastrous blackout across much of Texas. Next, as we wrote here, California asked drivers of electric vehicles to charge them during the day rather than in the evening to avoid peak electricity usage. California wants its residents to dry their clothes before 6 p.m., too.
    Today, New York sent out an alert telling its residents to “reduce electricity use ‘IMMEDIATELY’ to avoid blackouts”:
    It is no coincidence, obviously, that New York closed its Indian Point nuclear power plant, which reliably produced 1,036 MW of electricity, on April 30.

    Team Biden
    GOP Senators Press DOJ On Russia Hoaxer Susan Hennessey’s Role In Durham Probe
    Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin are demanding answers from President Joe Biden’s Justice Department about the role Russia collusion hoaxer Susan Hennessey will play in its National Security Division (NSD).
    “Ms. Hennessey’s apparent bias against Durham’s inquiry presents a clear conflict that makes it impossible for her to be objective and credible with respect to any elements relating to the Durham inquiry, should she have access to any of it,” the senators continued. “Ms. Hennessey also expressed copious public views in support of the fundamentally flawed Crossfire Hurricane investigation and vouched for the Steele Dossier which, as our joint investigation unveiled, was infected with Russian government disinformation and demonstrably false information.”
    In addition to claiming that Steele was ‘a person whose work intelligence professionals take seriously,” Hennessey also “said that the 2018 memo from then-House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes exposing Crossfire Hurricane’s fundamental flaws would need to be ‘debunk[ed]’ before she had opportunity to read the memo.”
    Lastly, the senators wrote, “she attacked the IG’s credibility before the [Crossfire Hurricane] report was even completed in an effort to discredit it.”
    “This is extremely irregular,” Hennessey said. “There are growing signs that there are serious problems with the IG report and questions as to whether this is designed to be an honest accounting of the views of the IG or a political document driven by Barr’s conspiracy theories.”
