US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

 

[Drag-on Knight 91873]

Megyn Kelly interviewed Meatball as part of his new leaner, meaner campaign, he looks weird now (Ozempic or crack has aged him fast).

He says the generic stuff he's been saying before, won't flat out say he will pardon Trump, keeps talking about moving forward yet he's the dipshit who keeps talking about Covid. He also again says Trump should have done more on Jan 6th like his corpo donors tell him to.

Not only was Roald Dahl right about bad thoughts affecting looks, he's also right about insincere thoughts too.

"And then, we told them we care about the kids."

The Biden administration is blocking key federal funding earmarked under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965 for schools with hunting and archery programs.

According to federal guidance circulated among hunting education groups and shared with Fox News Digital, the Department of Education determined that, under the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) passed last year, school hunting and archery classes are precluded from receiving federal funding. The interpretation could impact millions of American children enrolled in such programs.

"It's a negative for children. As a former educator of 30-plus years, I was always trying to find a way to engage students," Tommy Floyd, the president of the National Archery in the Schools Program, told Fox News Digital in an interview. "In many communities, it's a shooting sport, and the skills from shooting sports, that help young people grow to be responsible adults. They also benefit from relationships with role models."

"You've got every fish and wildlife agency out there working so hard to utilize every scrap of funding, not only for the safety and hunter education, but for the general understanding of why stewardship is so important when it comes to natural resources," he continued. "Any guidance where it's even considered a ‘maybe’ or a prohibition for shooting sports is a huge negative."

According to Floyd, his organization boasts 1.3 million students from nearly 9,000 schools across 49 states who are enrolled in archery courses. Some of those schools have already canceled plans to include archery or hunting education courses in their curriculum due to the Education Department guidance.

In June 2022, the BSCA was passed with large majorities in the House and Senate before President Biden signed it into law. The push to pass the bill — which broadly seeks to promote "safer, more inclusive and positive" school environments, according to the Education Department — came after mass shootings at a grocery market in Buffalo, New York, and a school in Uvalde, Texas.

The legislation included an amendment to an ESEA subsection listing prohibited uses for federal school funding. That amendment prohibits ESEA funds from helping provide any person with a dangerous weapon or to provide "training in the use of a dangerous weapon."

However, in a letter to Education Secretary Miguel Cardona earlier this month, Sens. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Thom Tillis, R-N.C., expressed concern that the agency is misinterpreting the provision which they said was included in the BSCA last year to withhold education funds for programs training school resource officers, not for hunting and archery classes. School resource officer training was funded under a separate provision.

"We were alarmed to learn recently that the Department of Education has misinterpreted the BCSA to require the defending of certain longstanding educational and enrichment programs — specifically, archery and hunter education classes — for thousands of children, who rely on these programs to develop life skills, learn firearm safety and build self-esteem," Cornyn and Tillis wrote to Cardona.

"The Department mistakenly believes that the BSCA precludes funding these enrichment programs," they continued. "Such an interpretation contradicts congressional intent and the text of the BSCA."

The GOP lawmakers noted in the letter, which was shared with Fox News Digital, that they have heard complaints from schools with funding for shooting sport courses withheld. They added that hunting and archery programs fall "well within" the scope of activities to support safe and healthy students which the ESEA explicitly funds.

Overall, the ESEA is the primary source of federal aid for elementary and secondary education across the country, according to the Congressional Research Service. The BSCA earmarked an additional $1 billion for educational activities under the ESEA.

"It is ironic that the U.S. Department of Education is actively denying young Americans the chance to educate themselves on basic firearm and hunting safety so that they can go afield knowing how to keep themselves, their friends, and family safe," Ben Cassidy, executive vice president for international government and public affairs at Safari Club International (SCI), told Fox News Digital.

"At best, the department’s policy appears to be singularly geared to ensure hunters are less safe when handling firearms or bows and, at worst, are leveling a direct attack on hunters’ ability to pass down hunting to the newest generations," he continued. "SCI and our membership will be eagerly awaiting the Education Department’s response to the letter from Senators Cornyn and Tillis, and we won’t hesitate to take further action to protect hunters’ rights."

In addition, the National Shooting Sports Foundation blasted the Education Department's interpretation of the BSCA, saying it was part of the administration's attacks on the Second Amendment.

The group said that, while it took a neutral stance on the BSCA, it has become "increasingly concerned" by the Biden administration’s implementation of the law.

"The Department of Education and Secretary Cardona are blatantly misconstruing the law to withhold funding from schools that choose to teach beneficial courses like hunter safety and archery," Lawrence Keane, the NSSF's senior vice president, told Fox News Digital.

"Congress must hold Secretary Cardona and the department accountable for violating the letter and spirit of the law to unilaterally deny America’s students access to these valuable programs as part of the Administration’s continued attacks on the Second Amendment," Keane added.

"Stopping hunter education courses that teach safe and responsible firearm handling makes our communities less, not more, safe and diminishes our ability to pass our nation’s cherished hunting and recreational shooting sports traditions on to the next generation," he said.

Both the SCI and NSSF, meanwhile, have been outspoken in their opposition to recent Biden administration actions targeting hunting more broadly.

Last month, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service unveiled new prohibitions on the type of equipment hunters are allowed to use on federal refuges. Keane said at the time that the rules were the latest example of the agency "creating rules that punish hunters," and Cassidy added it would prevent Americans from hunting on public lands.

The Education Department did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

These people love this sort of indirect, managerial control of society.

@The Nothingness wonder how many children who do that stuff go on to work with forestry and wildlife? Another area that'll be at risk of losing enthusiastic individuals and eventually become walking wounded like the US Military.

It's important to keep family traditions alive, even if they seem a little outdated. The secret service is just helping the Kennedy's keep those traditions alive.

Another moment of autism from Meatball, trying to talk to a kid but comes across like an idiot.

They want to fuck them.

But is she wrong?

Rare Kamala W tbh actually correct about a good number of people.

I am guessing people are taking issue with it because you are not supposed to mention such things under Bidenomics glorious recovery that has grown the economy at record levels.

weasel words to make it sound like anyone can declare bankruptcy at any time for no reason. same with talking about medical debt. the accurate thing to say is "Most Americans are a $400 unexpected expense away from owing money and having to work out a payment plan with who they owe money to"

people declare bankruptcy when they owe money because they don't want to pay back the money and want to keep all of their toys, not because they cannot afford to pay back what they owe

They only care cause the 1% wants $200 of that buffer.

She whores herself out so she will never be one of those people who can't just waste a couple grand without even thinking about the bills at the end of the month.

Take a wild guess as to why they won't be pursuing that particular charge.

Clearly it's that jewfro with the butter face, people just look at him and think "ooh I can't stay mad at you you little scamp!"

Well Greta lost but hey new term - Global boiling .

Think to yourself "man, what a nice soft summer compared to the last few years"
Enjoy the nice breeze coming through the window and a fan on top
"great, no need to turn on the AC"

Fuck my life, they are going HARD on the climate gaslighting this year.

I can't be the only one who thinks the entire economy is smoke and mirrors now, maybe even most large economies are. What authority out there is actually trustworthy enough to believe when they say X company/government/whatever has Y amount of Z in reserves or income.

It is. I swear the only reason things are still working is purely on inertia because the ratio of money printing to money inflation does not correlate to reality (and to a degree, thank god it doesn't, since pretty much most of the world would be in Zimbabwe or Wiemar levels of money do to all the printing)

Barely even a thing, let alone a W for Sleepy Joe.

America has been permanently deadlocked between two of the worst faces of neoliberalism: social and economic. Hence why Republicans support corporate cuckoldry, while Democrats support both that and social cuckoldry.
The two-party system needs to die. Period. Implement a national RCV system, or proportional voting, or something. Just so the two duopolists finally fall apart.

I'm in a land with a multiple party system, I assure you, it doesn't fix shit, it ends up becoming a glorified 2 sides at the end of the equation. Also, because "WHITE SUPREMACY!" and "ALT RIGHT!" will kill us all, any sort of right wing party (social democrats against immigration) ends up completely made irrelevant by being sidelined for the most part by all other parties.

Between the stunt the defense team pulled (The one where they called the court clerk pretending to be a congressional staffer in a failed attempt to get whistle blower testimony stricken from the record) and this, I can't imagine the judge is too happy with any of the parties involved.

Hope that judge doesn't feel the need to visit the Obamas and take a paddleboat on the middle of the night.

I hope climate change faggots get the rope worldwide soon, especially given (((they))) outright abused an autistic child for their goals.

The pre primary gauntlet must be wearing on DeSantis because holy shit dude's aged 20 years in like 6 months.

Bro is 43, I hope Trump heckles his Dorian Gray thing during the debates, that would be funny.

So the attempt to get the maintenance man to flip and say Trump wanted the tapes deleted is hearsay, heard it from another Pedro maintenance man on site. This is becoming even more of a joke, because the feds have all the video footage, nothing was deleted, we're getting into "he had bad thoughts" territory.
