They’re in a hell of a state. If people who are born there are still jihadist, it’s time to admit multiculturalism has failed and begin mass deportations. The Muslims will literally burn that country down on the way out.

The same thing is happening here. Who’s going to do something about Dearborn? Nobody, probably. Because doing something means, in the end, violence.
Agreed. Assimilation only goes so far.

Libs learned hard way about "Religion of Peace". Heh.

Protesters shut down Dearborn school board meeting over LGBTQ books.​

How exactly does a young couple save that down payment when inflation has wrecked the economy? I’d love it if it were that easy.
Buy a house in a USDA zone. USDA loans require zero dollars to close. Just income that is 3 to 4 times the monthly payment.

buy a house for 135,000 and the down payment is 4,725 with a FHA loan.

4725.00 is not a lot of money for a young couple. Should be able to save this in 10 months if they are giving it good effort , and that’s assuming they have very low paying jobs.

Just Roughly looking at AI for Kentucky I found a reply at about $190. I don’t think you’re THAT far off but I definitely think it’s optimistic, to say the least.

Right on time, get home today and the property tax bill was waiting. The government making me pay the value of something annually that has zero value until it’s sold. What a damnable system.
Ad valorem taxes serve a big purpose. The most important service is educating our youth so that they can go out and get good paying jobs to afford housing.


The revenue from ad valorem taxes is used for:
  • Public education: This is often the largest portion of property tax bills and helps fund public schools, including teacher salaries, building maintenance, and supplies.
  • Public safety: Tax dollars fund essential services like police and fire departments, emergency medical services (EMS), and other law enforcement and protective services.
  • Infrastructure and roads: This includes the construction and maintenance of local roads, bridges, and other public infrastructure, as well as sanitation services like street cleaning and sewer management.
  • Parks and recreation: These funds help build and maintain public spaces such as parks, libraries, and recreational facilities.
  • Social and community services:Depending on the area, ad valorem taxes can also fund social services, the health department, animal shelters, and other general government services.
  • Special purpose districts: Some areas have special taxing districts that use ad valorem taxes to fund specific local services, such as hospital districts, junior college districts, or utility and emergency service districts.

Trump is a businessman. It took little time for him to realize saying anything was a waste of time if congress wasn't going to act. No businessman is going to waste his time on something he knows won't get done, especially when he's under attack on 20 other issues and a plandemic. He spent his first term rooting out rinos from his own people and then congress.

Still has more work in that regard before anything gets done even after midterms.



It won't do ANY good for JUST HIM to say it, or just him to mean it. Thats the ENTIRE point. He can only do so much as president. That should be obvious by now, but peoppe still want to rip on HIM. I dont get it. It's just another version of TDS. Maybe TDS Lite.

The entire republican party has to be on board with it and say it put loud repeatedly, then have their feet held to the fire to get some **** done for a change.

It didn't stop on any other issue, even if it was just a feud with LeBron or Rosie.

Voicing his opinion has never been lacking.

Off topic, but it really is an adventure trimming my 85-pound GSD toenails. Kinda like trying to teach a cat how to swim.
It is best to introduce the dog to it when they are pups, but at 85 lbs, that has passed. Let your dog sniff the clippers. Gently touch the Clippers to his nails. Use treats to reward his good behavior to those actions. As he becomes comfortable around the Clippers and you start to actually cut, continue with treats. That might help.

Really, have you by chance looked at what fayette county public schools has spent my tax money on?

Surely if you live in central ky theres no way to miss the nonstop stories.

All this money is wasted at central office. Very little goes to students or in room teachers

Which was my point. They, and we, have been conditioned to be non-tribal and to “not see race” at precisely the moment in history when people are being imported who absolutely are tribal and in fact very hostile to us.

It’s a very uncomfortable thing to have to consider that some things from the past that we were told were racist, were in fact common sense.
This makes zero sense to me, but OK.

We
Those women absolutely knew what they were getting. The second tweet in that thread contains all of the documentation she has collected. The following tweets in that big thread explain the significance of each doc.


The below digging is mostly just me. This insignificant superintendent has piqued my interest. The big x thread listed this receipt as what his Erie, pa district paid Ray and Associates(head hunter firm) to provide three candidates for their superintendent search. Guess which firm also conducted the superintendent search in Des Moine? Yeppers and guess which firm searches the big jobs in St Louis? same,same, same.


View attachment 938220



Which led me to who is Ray and Assoc? They are a pretty big firm started in 1975, but no real info on them. Ok, who's their CEO?

View attachment 938230






She has an EdD. Do all of the Ed.Ds pad their resume. She is currently CEO of five orgs.

But, her previous employment...

Of course

Dude, we all know precisely what was going on here. Lol

Somebody said here today/yesterday that only 20% of Congress members are smart. Trump obviously thinks it's a lot more.

That was me, and I stand by it. Trump is insulting them here if you can't tell from his prose, his style of insulting is a dead giveaway here. 😂
