Not willing to publicly disclose those names. Tuition was raised after the vouchers with select discounts available to IL families to offset. You might not find marketing material on it but that doesnāt mean itās not happening. If a private school in IA takes vouchers, do they have to publicly disclose their finances?
@terralhernandez@KCRG@ZachLahn Hey there, thought youād like to know that private schools in IA near the IL border are offering discounted tuition to IL residents to make up for the increased tuition since they donāt qualify for IA vouchers. Nice subsidy for another states children
Your current government passed the voucher system for schools. Iāll set aside any analysis on that decision. What you should find interesting is counties that border IL have private schools that accept vouchers for IA students and then turn around and give a discounted tuition to IL students. Sounds like your taxpayers dollars are subsidizing another states kids to go to IA schools. Interesting stuff
@RobSandIA Rob, IA private schools near the IA/IL border are offering discounted tuition to IL residents to make up for the lack of voucher. Your taxpayers are subsidizing another states kids to go to their school. Might not be the message those in government want to send their constituents
BREAKING: According to the Reynolds Administration figures, 78% of Iowaās private school students would have been there even without vouchers this year. So the cost to taxpayers for each kid in private school BECAUSE of vouchers? Over $37k. https://t.co/2rnFy0CkxO

Dear Joe,
I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House.
For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story. More power to you. As for the fighters, in my book, anyone brave enough to put it all on the line in the arena is remarkable to witness. Their dedication and discipline inspire me. I donāt understand anyone who canāt admire that.
And as for the people who attended, I, for one, love Shane Gillis. I think heās hilarious and brilliant. It was a show. A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. I canāt blame anyone for wanting to witness it firsthand.
My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not to whoever happens to hold power at the moment.
The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for.
This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants. The White House is the Peopleās House. This ācelebrationā could have happened in any stadium within a stoneās throw of the South Lawn. No one would have had an issue with it.
But that was obviously Donald Trumpās whole point. By holding the event on the South Lawn, what he was saying to the rest of us is:
āThis is my house. I own it. I will do with it what I please. Iāll build a colosseum and have the gladiators fight under my gaze. Iāll tear down the East Wing. Iāll pave over the Rose Garden. Iāll cover everything in gold and marble. Iāll erase the names of all the men who came before me.ā
The fights were an exhibition of imperial domination, not a celebration of our 250th anniversary as a democracy.
The White House is not Buckingham Palace. It is not the Palace of Versailles. It is not the Forbidden City of Beijing. It does not belong to an emperor, or a king, or a commissar.
The White House belongs to us. All of us. The person who sits behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office is nothing more than an honored guest. A temporary caretaker.
The President is our servant. Not our Caesar.
Respectfully, Hunter
P.S. Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn.
@timburchett Which right to vote is that exactly? Either youāre a sitting elected individual blatantly lying or Iāve been misinformed by the democrats and written law. Please show where āillegalsā have this right or remove your post
@interiorpress47 I will wager large sums of money that the last bit after the dash was added after the fact. Who knew comedians would make such great leaders
Space Force has issued new orbit data for the @AST_SpaceMobile sats launched yesterday, showing all three in their expected 525 x 530 km x 53.0 deg orbits, independently confirming successful launch.
@ASTS_Investors Holy crap yāall, her water broke at 2:27am this morning during the launch. Itās a boy so no Abela but what a coincidence!!
Mom and maybe are both on a nominal trajectory š
@Spiker715@AdamKinzinger New presidential test. Read a childrenās book to a crowded auditorium. Answer 3 basics questions of the pokey little puppy and you pass
@Timcast A rational person takes all of a persons body of work over their lifetime and looks at issues though that lenses. You seemingly grift on whatever angle gets most attention. Itās pathetic and so are you
Strait of Hormuz: Iran will likely try to exploit the agreementās seemingly ambiguous language about the Strait of Hormuz to try to enforce its control over shipping through the strait. The MoU stipulates that Iran āwill immediately take steps to ensure that the movement of merchant ships [through the strait] is resumed within 30 days to the pre-war volume,ā according to Block, Saudi media, and several Western outlets.
Iran is expected to remove ātechnical obstaclesā and naval mines from the strait during the 30-day period. The reported MOU text does not explicitly bar Iran from āmanagingā the strait, and Iran could therefore continue to insist on vessels using its illegal traffic separation scheme in Iranian territorial waters and paying āfeesā to the IRGC Navy.
The MoU text also states that the United States and Iran will ārespect each otherās sovereignty and territorial integrityā and ārefrain from interfering in each otherās internal affairs.ā The Iranian regime has repeatedly claimed that it and Oman control the Strait of Hormuz as territorial waters. Iran could also try to argue that its āmanagementā of the strait is an Iranian internal affair. The MoU text also does not mention whether Iran can charge tolls, despite President Trump stating on June 14 that vessels can pass through the strait ātoll-free.ā Some versions of the agreement published in Western media on June 16 do mention that Iran will not charge tolls for 60 days and that Iran will work with Oman to ādefine future administration and maritime servicesā in the strait, however. IRGC-affiliated media stated on June 15 that Iran will pause charging āfeesā for 60 days but intends to resume charging āfeesā after that period. Iranian officials have consistently claimed that Iran is charging āservice feesā as opposed to tolls in the Strait of Hormuz, and therefore that vessels are able to transit through the strait ātoll-free.ā
