1 year in there must feel a good deal longer than 1 year in a US jail. Yikes. I'm glad I'm not a criminal alien. I'd be self deporting. Which is on the rise as coincidence would have it. mspart

No way!! mspart

It seems that you should be addressing this question to NYT. They misinformed you on this stuff and now admit they were misled. You should be asking them why and who. They were the first on the band wagon to destroy anyone that disagreed with their now "wrong" news. A mea culpa like this is not sufficient to right their wrongs perpetrated on any dissenters who are now proven correct. mspart

Agreed. mspart

Wherever will she get that money? mspart

They'll be home tomorrow hopefully!! mspart

OK, it sounded like you were disputing which is why I wrote what I did. Looking up the expenditures is not easy so I just looked up what I thought you were getting on about. I disagree that it seems improbable that the money didn't go to students but to organanziations that say they are for students. USAID expenditures shows us that. Spending on green stuff that goes to Stacey Abrams shows us that. So I don't have any problem with that, I just can't say it is true or not because the data is not readily available to me. It is apparent that whatever is spend is not effective at having students be more prepared for life. Test scores are near their lowest and it has been dropping for years. If the expenditures are supposed make for better student scores, it is failing miserably. mspart

Howard Harris of Oregon St. He had the GOAT NCAA tourney pinning his way in all matches, including pinning Big Bruce. He won the Gorarrian award for that tourney. Monster. mspart

I would say they also should not get a 5th season. Might as well open up all college sports to 5, 6 , 7 or 8 seasons to participate in. mspart

She said the budget was about 280 billion. The google says: How much does the US Department of Education spend? The Department of Education spent $268 billion in fiscal year (FY) 2024. This was 4.0% of the $6.8 trillion in overall federal spending. So it looks like she was very close on with the ED budget and you are not Fishy. That makes her number way more less made up than yours. Where you might have an issue is that she says less than 25% of that goes to educating students. That leaves around 200 Billion for something else. She said that leaves 220 billion, but a quick calculation of 75% of 280 billion is 210 billion. The real number at 75% is 201 billion. Again not far off like you are. Regardless, how does only 25% get to students? I think that is the better question to ask and really the most important reason the Dept exists, is to get money to help students. So if you could figure that out it would be helpful. Money to NGOs etc does not count. That is what she is complaining about. If you disagree with her, please show how she is wrong. mspart

Starocci - nobody should get 5 changes to win the national championship when there are only 4 years of actual eligibility for most everyone else. it is happening but I don't have to like it. mspart

And there you go. Truth to power. or something. mspart

That pic looks like he bit into a warhead and is shuddering. Funny pic. mspart

That is good news. mspart

He never does. He just says stuff and call anyone a stupid head for not believing him. mspart

I heard about this on the radio today. Disgusting. This is approved by the school, a middle school. We have people trying to tell us that this isn't a big deal, that this isn't a problem. When you have school administrator force girls to undress in front of a male, that is abuse of the kind I have been talking about. There was a neutral place that the boy could have gone to, but no, he had to make a spectacle and force the admin to prove they are as woke as possible. Yeah right, this stuff isn't being pushed by the schools!! mspart

It looks like it weirded him out. mspart

Where exactly? Or are you just casting aspersions and you really don't know? mspart

Like where exactly Trip? i don't see anyone buying that. mspart

The second sentence says, "The Consumer Price Index surged 2.8% over the prior year in February, and the month-over-month increase was 0.2% — both measures cooling from January". Come on WKN. Even better, inflation is lower than it has been since Dec. So it has gone down. That was my point. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/12/cpi-inflation-report-february-2025.html https://www.wsj.com/economy/cpi-inflation-january-2025-interest-rate-83e0a0c4 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-12/us-inflation-comes-in-lower-than-forecast-offering-some-relief Each site says the same. Feb lower than expected and lower than the past few months. mspart

I've seen all good people at times. mspart
