They're trying to cook the numbers before the DNC, these will shoot up in two weeks in revisions. At best inflation should be 2% or under a year.

New recent poll shows Trump back up, stop blackpilling.

Like Richard Baris said, a new Cook poll shows Kamabla winning battleground states but look at the dates, it's from 2 weeks ago.

WTF is going on with X again, now my entire feed is full of Tim Pool and I'm not even subbed to him. He's got even worse takes than Catturd when he's being bad.

Anyway, kamala is obviously going to do the minimum talking, rallies, and all that and hope to just ride on being 'unknown dark horse' even though she's not. It's the best move for sure. Keep away from any real questioning, basically continue the biden doctrine that way. She can't hide on the debates though, her only real hope there is if/when the mods start yelling at Trump like last time.

Does the US Politics thread like to talk about World political groups? Or just stick to this subject? 😕

That's a cool video. And he tries to avoid censorship by framing it with a future scenario and saying in the last part "We don't know if any of this is actually going on of course. 😉"

Harris support even with Democrat oversampling shows +2 for Harris with YouGov.

It's hilarious. This is the best they got.

Morning, everyone.

Retards had special retard classes before 1979. Every dollar of federal funding is sucked out of the states first, and guess what, the states with the most people are also the richest states and don't need transfer payments from other states. It's not like highway funding, where there's a legitimate need for highways through Wyoming that the state couldn't fund with its own economy.

They did, but those "classes" depended on the district and its standards. Some districts tried to educate special needs kids while others put them in a locked, padded room and checked on them every once in a while like they were animals.

I do think that the Department of Education serves a policy purpose by, for example, setting minimum requirements for special education programs. While I agree with @Harvey Danger that some kids have severe enough disabilities that they will never function in society, there absolutely are kids with special needs who can be fully- or semi-functioning if they receive some form of education. You cannot educate people after a certain point in their development - studies on feral children prove this. If you don't teach a child to speak at critical points in time, they will never learn to speak. Yes, these are individual cases and it cannot scale, but we have to do something for these children other than call them casualties.

This sounds like one of those fairy tales people tell to justify the claim that education officials in Washington are somehow automatically wiser and more enlightened than education officials in the state capital. In over 40 years of the DOE, measurable, positive outcomes from centralizing control are somewhere in the neighborhood of zero, but there's plenty of observable politicization and corruption.

And only officials in Washington know this?

Don't get me wrong: I am not justifying useless DC bureaucrats who do nothing, collect a paycheck, and call themselves essential. Nor am I saying that technocrats in DC should overrule local education boards which are elected positions and far more effective at deciding education policy for a given community. I agree with you that the Department of Education is rife for corruption and the whole Common Core fiasco is a prime example of this.

What I am trying to say is that the Department of Education does have a potential non-political use in specific cases, such as requiring a modicum of special education programming and providing funding for it. We don't have the throw the baby out with the bathwater.

I apologize if it seemed like I was defending retarded government technocrats who like the smell of their own pseudo-intellectual farts. That is not what I am trying to do.

Every state puts propositions on the ballot. They’re voted on statewide and then go into effect in that state if successful. There are local propositions (also called issues) too that only affect counties or other smaller jurisdictions.

OK, I'm confused now. So every state allows the people to vote on all policies? If so then you do have democracy. I've never heard people talk about it though. And how is the government able to do things like refuse to secure the border? Surely border states vote for border security?

It's named after the Dutch hotel the first meeting was held at. Hotel Bilderberg. The Bilderberg Group was created by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, who was a Nazi.

I'll add that it was co-founded by Józef Retinger who also co-founded the European Movement, which led to the establishment of the EEC (EU). Of course that's what's publicly stated, but we know from documents found at the end of WW2 and the proceeding developments that followed those plans exactly that it was also the Nazis that originally created the EEC (EU) and it's also public knowledge that the first President of the EC (European Commission, basically the head of the EU, although the EU was called the EEC at the time) was the Nazi Walter Hallstein. He was the guy that created and delivered the Nazi's famous "Greater Germany" speech in 1939, which was about the Nazis creating the "Greater German Reich" by taking over Europe.




Edit: I think it's also very important to add that at some point the Communists took over the EEC (EU) and planned to join with the USSR to create the EUSSR, but the USSR collapsed before they were able to do it. This was revealed in documents smuggled out by a Russian USSR defector Vladimir Bukovsky.

Lots of times the people vote incorrectly and pick fascism instead of democracy, and a court has to overrule them and make them do democracy instead. That happened in California with both illegal immigration amd gay marriage.

Imagine how much better the USA would be if the courts were stripped of the ability to do that?
