A History of Private Schools/Segregation Academies and Race in the American South..

"The goal of these evangelical schools was not a “better form of education” but denial of education." 2024: In a Town Full of Segregation Academies, One Black Family Grapples With the Best School Choice for Their Daughter Education, Not Income, Predicted Who Would Vote For Trump.. When it comes to formal schooling my experiences were unusual in that I experienced the full gamut available at the time. I first had a public grade school and then finished the second half of grade school at an ostensibly secular boarding school. I then did one year in a public high school and finished things at a private, evangelical school run by religious right lunatics — who also proved them selves to be utter hypocrites when it came to their obsessive sexual morality. Even Among The Wealthy, Education Predicts Trump Support. In the evangelical school I came to be familiar with the evangelical view of education — or, to be more precise, their contempt for education. My principal w...

WHO SHOULD PAY FOR AMERICA'S FEDERAL GOVERNMENT - AMERICANS OR EVERYONE ELSE?

Image
When Trump says he wants to replace federal income taxes with tariffs, what's he really saying? He's saying American's shouldn't pay for their own federal government, the rest of the world should.. Nothing unreasonable about that is there...? EXPLAINED: Trump Wants To Abolish The IRS. To replace the roughly $3.5 trillion dollars in revenue raised by individual income tax with tariffs would require astronomically high tariff rates. So, if the citizen's of the blue states want to support their governors in a meaningful way, stop funding the "dick-tater..." #TAXREVOLT Could Trump’s tariffs replace the income tax? #AgentOrange shows that historically, tariffs only bought in a small fraction of what income taxes currently yield, meaning federal spending would have to be sharply cut in order to phase out the income tax. Farmers feeling weight of Trump policies with shutdown of aid. #TheGreatAmericanTaxRevolt Can you imagine tens of millions of ...

DOGE’s incompetence is a clear and present danger to America’s nuclear safety

Is it incompetence or is there a plan? #Unaccountable #NuclearPoweredBillionaires #Deregulation #ConflictofInterest After 4 Years And Billions Of Dollars, The Texas Grid Is Not Fixed.. Texas has spent years tweaking its electric grid, but it’s still not fixed. How do we know this? ERCOT, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, projects an 80% likelihood of rolling blackouts if a storm the magnitude of Winter Storm Uri hits the state this winter. Prior to Uri in February 2021, the probability of rolling blackouts was only 5%. Big tech is turning to old reactors (and planning new ones) to power the energy-hungry data centers that AI systems need. Musk buys $1.5bn in bitcoin, pushing price to new high. Elon Musk has helped to drive popularity of cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin and dogecoin . Bill Gates , Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, and other so-called “tech bros” who also happen to be among the world’s richest men have thought about h...

Trump Fired, Then Unfired, National Nuclear Security Administration Employees. What Were Their Jobs?

Trump wants to make sure U.S. nuclear arsenal at 'top of the pack' By Steve Holland February 24, 2017. WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Trump was asked about a December tweet in which he said the United States must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capacity "until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes." President Donald Trump said on Thursday he wants to ensure the U.S. nuclear arsenal is at the "top of the pack," saying the United States has fallen behind in its weapons capacity. In a Reuters interview, Trump also said China could solve the national security challenge posed by North Korea "very easily if they want to," ratcheting up pressure on Beijing to exert more influence to rein in Pyongyang's increasingly bellicose actions. Trump also expressed support for the European Union as a governing body, saying "I'm totally in favor of it," and for the first time as president expressed a preference for a...

Why is Meta labelling Trump’s Real mug shot as a fake?

Image
When I posted Trump’s mug shot on Threads, I got a notification saying a “fact check” had been added to my post. The note appeared under my post and said “see context added to this post”. When you clicked on the post you’d see a message saying, “Fact Check: Trump ‘Mug Shot’ Is NOT Real — It Was Made Using AI” along with a link to a site called Lead Stories. The story was written April of 2023, a few months before the real mug shot of Trump was taken. It is unrelated to my post and includes a totally different image than the one I shared. To confirm this is still happening, I just shared Trump’s mug shot on Facebook and immediately got a notification that the image is still being incorrectly labelled by Meta’s moderation system. The Facebook notification specifies that my “post includes a photo that independent fact-checkers say was altered.” Other folks have confirmed this too, and I encourage you to try sharing Trump’s mug shot photo to see if it’s still happening too.

Could the story of Atlantis be much older than Plato believed?

Image
ATLANTIS: AN ISLAND CONTINENT In the distant past, the continents were not arranged as they are today. Land blocks moved relative to each other, which led to movement, collision of continents and the emergence of supercontinents that united almost all the landmasses. What if Atlantis didn't break apart and sink overnight on a human timescale but overnight on a geologic timescale of hundreds of millions of years..? Imagine Atlantis was a city on Pangea 350 to 400 million years ago inhabited by an intelligent technologically advanced pre-human that thrived in the higher temperatures and oxygen levels.. Imagine the continents today and the ancient ruins on them, the megaliths and the monoliths above and below sea level are the remains of Atlantis. Pangea is the first point in time where there could have been a shared architecture, language, history, science, mythology, technology and evolution - on a global scale.. Pangea existed as a supercontinent for 160 million years, fr...
