Detracking America.  “’Detracking’ is an increasingly popular proposal among socialist educators that attempts to reduce the degree to which students are separated by academic ability. It typically takes the form of removing advanced course offerings or delaying the introduction of these offerings. Supporters claim that marginalized students are often wrongly placed—or place themselves—in less advanced courses and that these students often stay on a less advanced curricular path.” (more here)

The daily confirmation arrives in truckloads that the Democratic Party is truly the evil anti-American party, aided ably in their quest to destroy our republic by harebrained Republicans who can’t get their act together.

‘The Data Prove Government Is Spending Too Much’  Americans for Tax Reform recently launched the Sustainable Budget Project from which we read – “The U.S. national debt recently passed $33 trillion, more than 120% of gross domestic product. Left-wing politicians assert that Americans are undertaxed, but the data show that the government spends too much.”  Americans for Tax Reform has offered a very practical rule by which to construct sustainable budgets – limit the budget increases to “the rate of population growth plus inflation.”  Bottom line – “If government grows faster than this rate, then it is growing faster than what the average taxpayer can afford.”  (more here

Kaja Kallas[8oct23 update] Estonia advises Ukraine.  ““You can’t bribe a computer,” Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas told me. When it’s time to rebuild, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky should heed these words. Estonia—a member of the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization—is No. 1 in providing government services digitally, according to the United Nations; first in democratic development among 29 postcommunist countries, according to Freedom House; first in international tax competitiveness, according to the Tax Foundation (the U.S. is 22nd); and sixth in the 2023 Index of Economic Freedom, according to the Heritage Foundation (the U.S. is 25th). It has the most startups per capita in Europe, and its 15-year-olds top the Continent in reading, science and mathematics.” (more here)

    I didn’t lose my argument Gregory. My “argument” is that you are a loyal Trump supporter and once again you continue to support him. All you can say is that you didn’t vote for him which is hard to believe considering the dedication you have in defending him no matter what the issue. For example the 25 women who accuse him of sexual abuse are all liars in your view. I can go on and on.

    No Punchy, I’m saying if they want to assert that the time left to file charges is getting short… and unless they’re filing in a NYC court they’d better know when and where the dastardly deed took place.
    And as of now, he’s not guilty of any charge.

    You didn’t come to Bidens defense when members of this blog continually called Biden a “perv” for allegedly fondling a teen age girl. There were no charges filed by the girl or the family. Why didn’t you come to Bidens defense under the same premise that you use in defending Trump in your 6:26.

    Paul is just so funny – “for allegedly fondling a teen age girl”.
    Actually, Paul – she was 8. It was on camera and the girl herself confirmed it happened.
    Meanwhile Paul goes on and on about Trump and the porn-whore Stormy Daniels. His only proof being that of a known liar who has been ordered to pay Trump’s legal fees and of course her famous lawyer, Avenatti who is currently in prison for stealing his own client’s money. You really know how to pick a crop of star witnesses, Paul.

    What happened to Paul’s contentions at 6:29? Paul’s running for his life from his own words. What a loser.
    Paul voted for a perv. A lying, corrupt, senile perv.
    In fact he bragged about it for months. Very proud he was to vote for a lying perv.
    Maybe Paul should ask the folks in Ukraine and Israel if they’re better off now or when Trump was president.

    re Don B 5:25 – The really curious thing is that the Dems are always screeching about “democracy” but when it comes time to democratically elect the next “correct” senator from CA, the proles just can’t be trusted to elect the right choice. If non-whites dominate the CA electorate and they need a non-white to “properly” represent them, then why not let those good folks decide that on their own? Instead, we have some clown from back east thinking they know best who should be the next CA senator. Would this fool think it OK if I should dictate who their senator should be?
    The Dems are circling the drain of their own making. It’s interesting to see who gets sucked in.

    The Hamas war against Israel is slated to be given a potent shot in the arm if the U.S. and its European allies allow U.N. sanctions to be lifted on Iran’s capability to purchase and supply missiles to enemies of the U.S. and Israel, according to experts on Tehran.
    This coming Wednesday is the so-called “Transition Day” when the expiration of the U.N.’s embargo against Iran’s ability to procure and sell missiles and drones goes into effect.
    The president gives a speech saying he is heartbroken about the images of the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust and opposes Hamas, and a week later, he hands a gift to Hamas’ sponsor, Iran. My heart breaks to see the president lift this embargo.”
