But it wasn't federal overreach when the DOE forced the DEI programming onto the states with the threat of withholding funds, amiright?
This has kinda been the D vs R playbook as long as I've been able to recall. Dems enforce their shitty ideologies via ridiculous big govt overreach and blatantly unconstitutional "for your own good" ploys. Then every 4-8 years when a Republican gets back into office the Democrats grab the Bill of Rights and the Constitution and hold them to their chests and start screaming bloody murder, MUH CONSTITUTION!! MUH FREEDOMS!! MUH LAWS!!! when the Republican makes a move to reverse any shitty policies they put in place. Then they just "Aw shucks, I guess we as a society have to just accept """Progress""" til the next Dem gets in office and pulls the same shit.
All this Critical Race Theory shit, this DEI shit, this LGBT+ shit has been historically unpopular at the polls, but the Democrats have been using the power of Government funding to shove it down our Nation's throats for over a decade now, and suddenly now that it's being pulled back using the same means, its being touted as "DANGEROUS" and "SCARY" and "OVERREACH".

Hell how much of this shit with illegal immigration has been blatantly unconstitutional, ignoring our laws, our National Sovereignty, refusing to cooperate with State, Local and Federal Law Enforcement, milking taxpayers for billions to take care of illegals without so much as a vote casted?

we're not supposed to do anything other than lose with dignity in their eyes
 
For Canada the day the United States National Hockey team graced their soon to be state it was the most important day of their lives. For us it was Saturday.
Oh that win reminded me of the time we beat the Soviets. So good.

If you want to hate the feds, look no further than Jolly West. He was the psychiatrist funded with tax payer money to develop brain washing techniques. If that didn’t work he’d intentionally drive you insane with drugs.

Jack Ruby was employed by the CIA and used to kill Lee Harvey Oswald before anything damning came out.

Jolly West was then sent in to scramble Ruby’s Brians. They assigned a psychiatrist (who lived halfway across the country) to Ruby that specialized in mind-control, killed an elephant with LSD, and ran experiments for the CIA’s MKUltra project. Makes total sense.
View attachment 6987785
Anyway, Jack Ruby was left alone in a cell with Jolly West and his fed goons and they went to work. A once sane man by all that knew him, Ruby completely lost his mind.
I look at the mental state and writings of the second trump shooter and I'm horrified but not surprised. By the way what's his status anyway?
I feel like Canadians are taking the 51st state thing way too seriously. It is obviously just a joke, the downsides of taking Canada heavily outweigh the benefits for Trump. I used to think that they knew he was just being an asshole and they had a problem with him being an asshole but the more and more I look into it it feels like a good portion of them they really are stupid enough to think they're at an actual risk of invasion.
Obviously?
God used to be angry, then had Jesus, and became less angry.
Jesus was basically the interpreter/intermediary for God and humanity. He came down to smooth out the rough edges and clear up misconceptions. Also to make it easier for people to get into heaven.
Even Lott's poor wife became collateral damage when she looked back. I wonder how long it took the rain to dissolve the pillar of salt.
One of the coolest things was Jesus between his death and resurrection throwing open the gates of hell and freeing everybody who didn't properly get to know him and would've otherwise been saved. Mel Gibson is gonna make a movie about this shortly if he hasn't filmed it already.
"Trump is the antichrist", "Trump's going to usher in the antichrist".
It's all so tiresome.
I believe in God, I believe the Bible to be true as written, but miss me with that hysterical hyperbole.
No, Trump's not going to take your gibs away. Calm the hell down. Hell, with Trump cutting all the shit from illegals, your gibs might go up and benefit YOU. Wouldn't that be fucking something.

These same people were literally calling Bush Jr the antichrist while he was in office for 8 years. Forgive me if I don't immediately jump on THAT particular pole. As much of a believer as I am now, the hysterical outbursts of Baptists grow tiresome.
The antichrist is a personality/state of mind not a single person
 
Sad thing is, I don't have a crock pot. I need to get one though. That and an air fryer too. I just don't have a whole lot as far as cooking stuff goes. That's going to change in the next couple of months though. It just hasn't been a high priority of mine. I have pots and pans, but that's about it. Things are getting a little easier and I'm able to afford some things now, so we'll see what happens in the next month or two. I'm gonna start a little at a time and try and ween myself off of being so dependent on TV dinners and stop being a lazy fat ass and do something. Wish me luck, fellas.

"School choice" is retarded as hell.

People understood this in the 1800s and successfully fought against school choice. What will happen is that papists, mormons, every religious group, and crooked capitalists will abuse the school choice system, eventually creating loads of new corruption, as well as civic erosion, and conflicts not seen in centuries.

There should be one public school option for everyone, and people should have the freedom to private school or homeschool, but the latter should NEVER EVER receive government funds.

School choice is like a leukemia developing in the bones of America.
This is the single most retarded thing I've read in this thread.

The "standards" that have been pushed are an absolute cancer. Look at the methods used for doing basic mathmatics or the fact that the bulk of public schools don't even teach children to write. Add to these dog shit standards the DEI bullshit being pushed, the racket that is education books/publishing, and then this cookie cutter teaching approach that fails to account for the different methods of learning and how this varies from class to class and we have the tumorous mass that is public education.

School choice is critical and it allows for things like tech schools for kids to help get them into trades instead of throwing them into the money vampire that is college when they couldn't cut it in the first place. There are schools with programs for people with disability to help and focus on their issues. There are schools with programs others lack. Denying people access to these schools and forcing them into whatever district they are trapped in does absolutely fucking nothing to assist them, improve education, or our society.
 
Oh that win reminded me of the time we beat the Soviets. So good.
I never understood the fascination with the 'miracle on ice'. The team gets buck broken by the soviets over and over, then one time win and somehow that's impressive? It's like if it were a cultural memory for decades that we beat the guatemalans at jungle-trekking or something. They have a geographical advantage in that kind of sport and it all just smells like cope to me to massage all the times we lost.
 
Imagine a world where we had full school choice and the federal funding was awarded to each student rather than to the schools directly
It was SO SWEET during covid when parents started enrolling their children in programs actually MADE to be online schools instead of skyping into a teacher's living room just to save her job, and schools started emailing parents "PLEASE! DON'T UNENROLL YOUR KIDS!!!!! Don't you know EVERY STUDENT unenrolled is LITERALLY $10,000 subtracted from the school budget?"

closing schools was the biggest self-own the teacher's unions ever made
 
I can make ten meals with meat and vegetables for less than $30 using a pressure cooker. It's really not that hard if you're willing to eat the same thing every day.

and if you don't want to eat the same thing every day, you do this every week and freeze half of it, then you do it again, and then again, and then in little bit you're eating the same thing every other day, then you're eating the same thing every couple days, etc

get an instant pot over a crock pot.
 
Thanks for all the suggestions, guys. With that little bit of encouragement, I have a feeling this year will be the year I finally get shit done and actually lose a little weight. I've already got one of my bigger bills taken care of, so things are gonna get a lot easier from here on. It's just getting over that hurdle of having one thing paid. Things'll get better even more now. I've been looking at cooking channels on Youtube for easy recipes and I'm already getting ideas on some things to grab next month.
 
Another way in which the left moved the Overton Window so much was by pushing more egregious views. Drag queens reading to children is not only demoralizing, but it makes it seem as acceptable and cuckservatives fall for a “common ground.” For example, you have people who ten years ago opposed gay marriage now oppose only puberty blockers, not the idea of transitioning as a whole.

Trump needs to do more egregious things. If he can call for TND then we’ll be discussing how PND is a good compromise.
This is called the frame game. You have half of it -- push outrageous shit that isn't TOO outrageous on your side, so the less outrageous shit doesn't seem so nuts. Ann Coulter, that batshit insane Uniparty shill, infamously claimed to want to kill all the Muslim men in the West and put their children in Christian Orphanages. This set up the left to pity Muslims forever (fucking over the West forever) but also made the "Axis of Evil" speech and war look a whole lot less insane. And all it cost Ann was a few columns in some newspapers she wasn't getting renewed in anyway.

The other half of the game is to pretend there's no difference between anyone to the right of Mao and a 1488, asian girl dating, race war nao, /pol/tard ranting about the evils of the jews constantly. There are some things that will ALWAYS be outside the overton window, barring some form of massive, massive cultural shift that will fundamentally change everything we know. White Supremacy / White Nationalism is one of these anchor points -- barring some MASSIVE shift, the only "white" ethnostate allowed to exist will be Israel. They become "anchor points" where the overton window will always be framed by.

If you tie something else to those anchor points, like civic nationalism, by calling literally fucking everyone Nazis and Fascists.... Then a funny thing happens. Well first, the anchor is never pulled into the frame -- they're anchor points, they don't move. But the things you tie to it get dragged partially or completely out of the window -- the realm of acceptable ideas to talk about, or even think about. "We can't talk about National Populism, that's Nazi talk, the purple haired she twinks don't like it and will call us names if we do." But more importantly, because the Overton Window is a range of acceptable shit on both the right and the left, once you shove some of the stuff on the right out of the realm of even acceptable discourse, some fringe batshit on the left is pulled into the frame.

So maybe now the idiots ranting about killing whitey and openly discriminating against white men -- you know, to make up for white men doing the same thing, to make things "fair" -- slide partially into the frame. Maybe your UHURU, YA'LLs become less electoral poison to your side, and more zany fringe characters under the big tent: Not seriously getting power, but we're not shooing out the clowns just yet.

Maybe in your secret enclaves, like your USAID offices, you start approving batshit insane things, because now they're merely kinda zany instead of outright obvious electoral poison. To you, at least.

That is what the left has been doing since at least the 90s.
It's the system they lost control of when Tumblr broke containment about 15 years ago and all the unmoderated lefty midwits spread everywhere else overnight, chasing the unlimited free (child) porn they were denied. We're finally seeing the frame snap back as they lose control of the cultural engineering levers. This has other names -- the pendulum swinging back, for example.

The important thing for the right to do at this point is to ensure certain basic righty values are firmly in the center of the frame -- nationalism, civic virtue, meritocracy, free speech, et cetera. The left will eventually grab those levers again, and probably sooner than anyone thinks since they have the systems in place to set up this kind of cultural engineering operation. Once they do it'll be right back to anyone to the left of Mao suddenly being the most evil nazi that ever nazi'd.

That + “the classroom is private! Parents, please don’t pay attention to what we’re telling your kids” was one of my favorite parts of Covid. The teachers shot themselves in the foot

School choice is like a leukemia developing in the bones of America.
I received an alternative education, and many have regarded me as far smarter than my peers. Since I avoided the plight of public schools, I didn’t contract a myriad of mental health issues, develop political brainrot, or foster a disdain for education. I’m thriving, while many from public schools can barely function as adults.

Freedom of educational choice is integral to American freedom, and saying otherwise is antithetical to our nation’s founding principles.

On behalf of all those who attended private schools or homeschools, I say this: Please, kill yourself.

So. How many kids have you raped and gotten away with it?
