Why do law enforcement officers do what they do? Send all of Congress back to their constituencies for a week-long ride-along with law enforcement! State Representatives should have mandatory biannual ride-alongs. For Minnesota Representatives, start with ride-alongs every other weekend for one year!

@JustJenRX This is absolutely crazy! Can someone nearby follow up on this with specific names and dates?

@Luna_Jones79 Truth or fiction, I don't care, this is or should be a reality!

@trumplicans2024 Because they cannot shoot straight, Military AR weapons should not be sold to the public. They have no place as a hunting weapon or a training weapon.

@EmilySm43 As a Community Manager, you might soon find yourself becoming a Politician. Both roles offer good pay and seem to require neither common sense nor particular skills.

The anniversary of D-Day falling on your birthday is a powerful reminder of those who came before us and the tremendous sacrifices they made to protect our freedom. It’s a moment to reflect on their courage, dedication, and lasting impact their service has had on our history and liberty—a truly fitting connection given your current occupation ! 🫡

@isaacrrr7 Imagine being able to move anywhere in the world without adapting to the culture of the country you choose to reside in. What could possibly go wrong?

Every U.S. state requires ID to purchase a gun from a licensed dealer.
There is no state where you can walk into a gun store (a federally licensed FFL dealer) and buy a firearm without showing ID.

This is because of federal law, not state law.

Federal requirement (applies in all 50 states):
To buy a gun from a licensed dealer, you must:

Show a government‑issued photo ID

Complete ATF Form 4473

Pass a background check (NICS)

This has been the law since 1993 (Brady Act).

I’m tired of every political side bending the truth. It shouldn’t take a fact‑checker and a magnifying glass just to understand what’s real. America deserves honesty, clarity, and leaders who respect voters enough to tell the truth. The solution isn’t to silence politicians. It’s to arm voters with clarity.

@DHSgov Why am I not surprised?

@Sassafrass_84 No worries!

Sara Mary... I grew up in the Catholic faith, attending Catholic schools in the ’50s and ’60s. Here’s the curriculum from those days—brace yourself for some nostalgia. Honestly, I spent about as much time learning in class as I did kneeling in penance on those wooden pointers! (Sorry for the long Post!)

Grades 1–3: Foundations of Personal Responsibility
These early years focused on basic habits, manners, and simple life skills.

Typical topics:

Keeping a clean desk, room, and personal space

Basic manners and courtesy

Simple food preparation (washing fruit, spreading butter, pouring safely)

Learning to sew simple stitches on burlap or felt

Understanding family roles and helping at home

Introduction to Catholic values: gratitude, service, sharing

This stage was about forming habits of order, respect, and responsibility.

Grades 4–6: Practical Skills Begin
Students started learning real hands‑on skills.

Cooking & Nutrition

Measuring ingredients

Reading simple recipes

Baking basics (muffins, cookies, biscuits)

Understanding food groups and healthy eating

Sewing & Textiles

Hand‑sewing

Buttons, hems, seams

Intro to sewing machines (supervised)

Household Skills

Laundry basics

Ironing demonstrations

Cleaning routines

Table setting and dining etiquette

Catholic emphasis: stewardship, caring for family, modesty, and service.

Grades 7–8: Full Home Economics Courses
By junior high, Home Ec became a formal class.

Safe knife skills

Full meal preparation

Cultural foods

Food safety and sanitation

⭐ What made Catholic Home Ec different from public schools
Catholic schools added a strong moral and spiritual dimension:

Modesty in dress and behavior

Service to family and community

Stewardship of resources

Respect, order, and discipline

It wasn’t just about skills — it was about forming character.
