One thing I love about Americans-you can be minding your own business, hit a hole-in-one, and suddenly a whole boat crowd of strangers is acting like you just won the Masters.
They don't know your name, your score, or how many balls you lost getting there, but they're cheering, hollering, and celebrating like they've known you since Little League.
Only in America can a perfect shot turn a bunch of strangers into your loudest fan club for about 30 seconds... and honestly, that's pretty great. ⛳️
2006. Senator Obama slams the Bush Administration for not doing more workplace raids to catch and deport illegal immigrants.
It appears that the Democrat party has changed a little bit over the past 20 years. 🤪
🚨 WOW! JD Vance reveals after Charlie Kirk's death, his wife Usha moved from being done with having children to wanting more ❤️🙏🏻
"As my wife held Charlie Kirk's widow on the first day of her terrible sorrow, Erika told Usha between sobs that she regretted having only two kids with Charlie."
"For years, I'd asked Usha to have another baby, and for years, she told me she was done, especially now that public service had elevated us into the national spotlight."
"But something changed for Usha, and not long after we buried my friend, she became pregnant with our fourth child, a boy."
"I don't know why God does things like this, but I am grateful to him that there will soon be another source of joy in our lives, another beautiful soul to wonder at and fall in love with, God's beautiful creation."
NAILED IT: Jeff Bezos: “A nurse in Queens who makes $75K a year pays more than $12K a year in taxes. Does that really make sense?”
“So people talk about making the tax system more progressive. How about we start by having the nurse in Queens NOT pay taxes? At all!”
“Why is a nurse in Queens who makes $75K a year paying more than $1K a month in taxes?”
“That’s $1K a month that could help with rent or groceries or anything.”
“And by the way, do you know what that all adds up to? The bottom half of income earners in this country pay only 3% of the taxes. It’s only 3%.”
“We can find 3%. So we don’t have... it’s a small amount of money for the government. You know that. And the more I thought about it, to me, it’s kind of absurd that we’re doing this.”
“We shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington — they should be sending her an apology. It really makes no sense.”
Exactly!
This American needs to lead the Department of Education
“This is my audition to become the head of the US Department of Education
- My first act of office will be immediately abolishing the No Child Left Behind Act. Yes, we will be leaving children behind. If they fail a class, they will have to repeat it
- My second act is one that I'm very passionate about. We will be bringing zeros back. If you don't know, in many schools in the US right now, students receive 40% or 50% if they do zero work, if they do not complete an assignment. And my school included, and many other schools, are not going to be allowed to give a student a 50% if they do not turn in any work. They will have to receive a zero.
Likewise, there will be no completion grades, If you just attempt an assignment, that doesn't mean you get a 55%. Like, if you get a 1 out of 10, you earned a 10% on that assignment, and that's okay. Sometimes failing happens, and we don't need to just inflate the grades just for fun. Grades will reflect students' actual performance and understanding of the content
- The third one I'm very excited for as well. Teacher evaluations will take place once a year and teachers will be observed by another current teacher from a different school. Teachers would volunteer to be evaluators. They would get a sub for the day, no questions asked, and then they would evaluate objectively. That way the person evaluating you does not know you and does not have any personal bias towards you. Hopefully.
- The fourth one, I think this should be common sense, but I hear that it happens all the time at some schools. Never at mine. But teachers shouldn't be expected to work for free. I hear elementary teachers are doing these before and after work things that they aren't getting paid for, like lunch duty or recess duty or pickup duty, whatever it is. The school needs those things covered.
People can volunteer for it, and then they have to get paid for it. They can't force you to cover other people's classes for free. They have to pay you extra if they're gonna take away your lunch or your prep or whatever time that is supposed to be yours and then force you to do something without getting paid. There will be no more voluntelling.
Hire this woman. The most important thing we need to do is hold students back and force them to learn the work. No more dumbing down out standards
