@Sassafrass_84 Restaurant Depot has a Halal meat section now. They have had Halal meat for a while, but not their own section. And is there a reason why Halal meat would be a better price?
@avogadob@RafaelNasriX I believe the purple sweet potato is higher on the glycemic index than sweet potatoes and act more like a regular potato than a sweet potato.
We started homeschooling in the summer to take the pressure off. Figure out how kids learn and tailor their education to the things that interest them and they will learn despite any mistakes you make. You are going to love the changes it makes in your family dynamics. Have fun with the journey!
@ProjectVirginia Yes! I don't think people realize how broken the system is - deliberately engineered to be what it is IMO - and why the schools cost so much. Some areas have a lot of waste and fraud, but even ones that have been through the books to cut out waste require large budgets now.
You make a good point. IMO, it takes at least a year just to figure out how everything works and to gather information to be able to do the job effectively. I think most of us want someone who is for the people and is effective. Our founding fathers were well-read and experienced. People today can barely name the three branches of government. Our representatives need knowledge, strength, patriotism, and down-to-Earth common sense.
@TeamZissou@ROOZVA Schools are given unfunded mandates by the state which require more local funds. I hate the taxes, but either my property taxes go up again or an added sales tax spreads the cost out to more people. That is the reality until we can stop the unnecessary spending.
@CynicalPublius I think the system was set up to produce factory workers - competent enough to do the job, no motivation to challenge the indoctrination.
Now, it has changed to produce today's desired outcome, which, IMO is SJWs who lack critical thinking skills and subject mattter knowledge.
@ScottPresler Same as the solar panels. We don't want them. Politicians who support them are not going to get reelected. That's not a ME opinion, that's the direction the wind is blowing.
@j_fishback No. With that money comes strings attached. Keep the government far away from homeschooling as possible. Don't give them an avenue for exploitation.
After reviewing the new laws regarding education in Virginia, my recommendation is to get your kids out of the public school system. They hit every pretty much every woke agenda item out there, including the insistence on teaching inaccurate history.
So….. only 13 House Democrats signed the ‘Promise to America’ pledge vowing to commit to capitalism over socialism, secure borders, fiscal responsibility, and being proud of America, not ashamed of America.
That’s just 6% of the 212 House Democrats.
The rest? Apparently not willing to publicly pledge support for free markets and common sense. Speaks volumes.

I see the Leftist/Ukrainian bots got a new talking point.
They say “these labs weren’t even a secret”. Yeah, no shit, they were officially on the books via the DTRA.
But if these labs were not a secret, then why did the Biden admin and MSM claim that these labs didn’t exist? Why did they censor and ban anyone who talked about these labs, which were not secret?
That’s the whole point. The Biden admin, along with their lapdogs in the media, just blatantly lied about the existence of these labs, despite the fact that we had incontrovertible evidence that these labs existed. It was even codified into US law via the Nunn-Lugar Act. The Biden admin and the media just lied about reality, hoping this problem would go away.
That’s why this is such a big deal. Because we caught them in a massive lie, which clearly means they have something to hide.
Flashback to March 10, 2022, when then Senator Rubio admitted that the “fact-checkers” straight up said that the labs didn’t exist, and they should have acknowledged it.
Well then the question becomes, who told them to lie, and why? The answer is, because they are an arm of the Democrat party, and they are attempting to cover their tracks. They admitted their guilt in the process of the coverup.
