The ways government is stressing out your child’s public school Take a journey through our schoolhouse to see some of the headwinds facing K-12 education in America today.

β€œThe message is that if you ignore what’s happening in Washington, you do so at your own peril.”

Nice (if depressing) walk through the stressors the federal government has put schools under.

The Florida Bar has filed misconduct charges against Attorney General Pam Bondi.

She has been in violation of multiple ethics rules since being sworn in.

Dems eye a villain-to-ally arc for Musk

No. Absolutely not. He's a nazi. He smashed the federal government and stole our data. He put USAID and USIP in a wood chipper, leaving hundreds of thousands of children to die. He's not welcome in any party I belong to. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

For my kids, Benji. They still talk about how I forced them to watch that awful video.

For me, Midnight Cowboy. My brother and I didn’t understand ratings etc and were left unsupervised.

President Declines Gift of Holiday Apple Pie

WASHINGTON, Oct 27 - AP - President and Mrs. Coolidge have declined an offer from the Girls' Club of Vermont University of a large apple pie for the White House Thanksgiving dinner. Although no reason was given for declining the pie, apparently it was refused because acceptance might have been taken as an endorsement by the president of the proposed apple week to be held about that time.

This might be regarded as a precent for endorsement of similar movements in other parts of the country. The telegram tendering the pie said it was designed to be a part of the apple week program.
