Trump's Second Term

Says who? The Federal government is handing over their education entirely to their home states. If they're taught instead to love their state, what business will it be of yours?

Nothing new here. I'm old enough to remember the degree to which we were supposedly taught to love America with a diet of religion, selective facts and downright lies. It didn't ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ work, folks! Part of the whole problem here is that people with short memories and bad education are being bamboozled by idiots, and they forget, if they were ever made aware in the first place, that some things occurred, and others stopped occurring, for real reasons. It wasn't some kind of communist woke plot to institute food and drug laws or worker safety or child labor laws. It was dirty hot dogs and dead miners and maimed orphans. We didn't stop praying in schools because of communists, we stopped because it was stupid and wrong. We didn't stop telling lies to children about slavery and the slaughter of native Americans and such because of communists, we stopped because once upon a time it was considered contrary to the American character to fill our children with egregiously idiotic falsehoods.

Our leaders want to take us back to some halcyon time that never existed except in the minds of yesterday's failed fools.

Real reporter: Back to your first statement. That a doll from China might have lead paint, might have, and is not as well constructed, the latter of which is unsupported speculation, and that China doesn't maintain environmental and regulatory standards, relevant ones at least. Is all of that true? It seems you would have to show proof of your premise before making any expectation on the part of consumers with regard to higher prices brought on by your tariffs.

As to your response to my question about auto tariffs, what, besides your head, is the point?

Too many words. Everyone would change the channel.

Stephen Miller: "Children will be taught to love America. Children will be taught to be patriots. Children will be taught civic values for schools that want federal taxpayer funding. So as we close the Dept of Education and provide funding to states, we're going to make sure these funds are not being used to promote communist ideology."

And ensure that we continue not teaching children what communism is.

Stephen Miller: "If you had a choice between a doll from China that might have lead paint from it that is not as well constructed, as a doll made in America that has a highly environmental and regulatory standard ... and those two products are both on Amazon, that yes, you probably would be willing to pay more."

It's a good thing, then, that the U.S. regulatory framework is not only being kept intact but augmented by the Trump administration.

Oh, wait...

The plan is to make sure that that aren't made aware of them.
 
McDonald's has suffered its biggest drop in US sales since the height of Covid, a fall that it said was driven by people's concerns over the US economy.

Despite a marketing tie-in with the Minecraft movie and extended price deals, US customers made fewer visits to the burger chain in the first three months of this year, compared to a year ago.

Chief executive Chris Kempczinski said customers were "grappling with uncertainty".

But he assured investors that the firm could "navigate even the toughest of market conditions".

Dr. Phil: I have sat with President Trump with no cameras around, nobody watching, and I'm telling you: This is a man of deep faith, deep conviction..

The man isn't deep anything.

And the bad doctor is full of ◊◊◊◊.
 
How will the government 'bring back' religion (to one of few western countries where it shows little sign of going away)?
Mandatory government religiosity? Special rights for particular religions to get all in everyone's face about their version of reality?
