@SenFettermanPA@giselefetterman@UPMC Praying for you, we need voices like yours and I am thankful for all that you do. I don't look at party, I look at people, and I am impressed by your values.
This is a wake up call. There are activists of this type even in our school district @LindberghFlyers, employees who have no issue advocating for demonizing others with a differing opinion. The result is, once you demonize someone as a “nazi” or “white supremest”, you loosen their blood, and violence by those listening to you increases. Let this be a lesson that retuning to freedom of speech and exchanging of ideas, while respecting each other is the way @charliekirk11 was advocating for.. do better, be better.
I am proud of the #USA for standing with Israel against a regime that has been fixated on calling for the destruction of America and Israel. The removal of military-grade uranium in Iran for offensive use is an opportunity to potentially bring positive change. I pray for the people of Iran and dream of a future where the Iranian and Israeli people can be allies again, as they once were. I have Persian friends here in the USA who share the same sentiments. It is time to remove the extremist ayatollah regime.
What did y’all think "globalize the intifada" meant? Vibes? Papers? Essays? 🧵
It meant this sweet young couple, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, gunned down at an American Jewish Committee event at the Jewish Museum by radicalized monster Elias Rodriguez, chanting “Free, free Palestine.” (1/20)
Lindbergh Schools poured a concrete foundation before obtaining a permit, wasting $12 million. We need board leadership to restore public trust in our schools, ensuring every dollar efficiently benefits our students' education. Vote on April 8th for responsible leadership.
I asked Grok to analyze the posts Lindbergh Schools makes towards elections, they often work hard to keep the narrative of their preffered candidates over candidates like myself, who are bringing accountability and reform. Let's look:
May 2024: ~10 posts (Post-election lull, graduation season begins.)
June 2024: ~8 posts (Summer slowdown, fewer events.)
July 2024: ~7 posts (Minimal activity, summer break.)
August 2024: ~12 posts (Back-to-school ramp-up.)
September 2024: ~15 posts (School year in swing, routine updates.)
October 2024: ~14 posts (Steady, event-driven posts like Unity Week.)
November 2024: ~12 posts (Thanksgiving, typical school news.)
December 2024: ~10 posts (Holiday season, lighter content.)
January 2025: ~13 posts (New year, school updates.)
February 2025: ~16 posts (Early election prep if 2025 follows a similar cycle.)
March 2025 (to date): ~20 posts (Up to March 25, trending up if election-related.)
I see what you're doing Lindbergh Schools, you have lost your neutral stance and need board members who will bring back diversity of thought. Vote on April 8th!
@LindberghFlyers (Lindbergh Schools) is not the lowest-taxed in Saint Louis County. Let me explain:
Our current Board leadership at Lindbergh Schools often claim they have the lowest tax rate in the county, touting a base levy of $2.75 per $100 of assessed residential property value—the state minimum. What they consistently leave out is the additional $0.8330 debt levy, bringing the total blended resedential rate to $3.6944 after the board’s adjustment on September 17, 2024. So, the “no tax raise” line doesn’t hold up, nor does the “lowest rate” mantra. Compare Lindbergh’s $0.8330 debt levy to Rockwood’s $0.32 or Ladue’s $0.5410—our debt service outweighs most districts. Still think we’re the lowest in Saint Louis County?
You’ve likely heard the district say they’re only extending debt service by five years, as if that fixes everything. But those five years won’t cover the $240 million in interest and debt for the latest Prop R—especially since we haven’t paid off 2019’s Prop R. The real plan hinges on your property assessments, rising at least 6% every assessment through 2045. That’s a tax increase in the real world, driven by rising home values, not levy changes. Check your tax bills from the last 8-10 years, they’ve nearly doubled, with about 48% going to Lindbergh. If property values don’t climb as expected due to market shifts, the board can just raise the levy to cover the gap. To call this a “no-raise tax,” they’re financing $90 million in interest for $150 million in capital. We deserve transparency on what’s being glossed over.
For the average home in our district, this could mean an extra $13,000 in taxes by 2045—simple math based on the minimum assessment growth needed to pay off the debt. It’s not “no-raise”—it’s a bet that our area stays hot and property prices keep soaring. Maybe they will, maybe they won’t. Either way, the community deserves the truth.
So, what can we do? Enrollment is falling—the district’s 2022 demographic study was optimistic compared to reality. First, we need more fiscally responsible leadership with an eye to the future. I have seen first hand how we are driving our lower middle class out the district as well as our retired residents.
We should consolidate, plan in the future to reduce buildings to meet declining enrollment, focus on academic quality over the assumption growth, and stop banking on new buildings and invest in high quality renovations instead. We should sell off assets like the Farmers Club that add little value, pay down debt faster, and leave Lindbergh with less burden for our kids. All levels of government are waking up to the limits of debt and spending. It’s time our district did too.
Hey @LindberghFlyers, what is Director of "IED"?? Improvised Explosive Device? Or did you mean DEI, Diversity Equity and Inclusion? For transparency to the public, you may want to correct the title. Enjoy election canvassing Spring break.
Your periodic reminder that the single most assigned book in teacher education programs is an explicitly Marxist book that argues that teachers should work through schools to stir up a proletarian revolution
The family whose oldest daughter was murdered on October 7, who were live-streamed as they cried around her body, received devastating news today. Their kidnapped father was murdered in Gaza captivity. His body will be returned tomorrow.
It's simple—cell phones have no place in Missouri classrooms.
To support stronger academic performance and protect the mental health of students statewide, Missouri needs distraction-free classrooms.
That’s why I am urging the General Assembly to pass Senator Henderson's SB 68 to ban electronic communication devices from the beginning to the end of the school day.
Bill Maher:
“Israel is the Jews’ homeland and Jews have always lived there. You can look it up. It’s in this book called the Bible. Calling Jews colonizers is like calling Native Americans colonizers here. It’s ridiculous.”
He’s 100% correct.
EXPOSED: The Missouri Attorney General was right to issue a cease and desist to Lindbergh Schools! Their gifted program's racial discrimination was busted. I reported it to the AG after the district denied and refused to engage. Now they've scrapped it. Thanks to Lindbergh Schools for complying. Watch the full scoop in this episode, premiering tomorrow, February 24th, at 10 AM!
