🚨WHAT ON EARTH?!!

The TEACHER OF THE YEAR in Nashville TM just walked away from her career B says the district ORDERED HER TO FABRICATE GRADES.

She refused. So they went into the system and CHANGED IT THEMSELVES.

According to the teacher, a student didn’t finish a project. Hardcastle (the teacher) gave the grade the student earned.

Then a parent came in and SAT IN THE OFFICE FOR HOURS until that grade changed.

Three administrators huddled up and decided the AWARD-WINNING TEACHER was the problem.

She still refused to change the grade.

So they overrode her and changed it ANYWAY.

She quit in May and put all of it in a three-page resignation letter. It’s public. Read it yourself. She calls it GRADE FABRICATION.

And then she stood up in front of the school board and said the quiet part into a microphone: “Statistics are being skewed to protect the district, not our children.”

Our kids can’t read. Can’t write. Can’t do basic math. But the DASHBOARD LOOKS GREAT.

AND SHE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE.

WSMV4 Investigates pulled the internal emails of Diana Wills, a math teacher at Overton High.

Administrators told her she had to hand failing students a D — over a PAPERWORK TECHNICALITY about parent notification. One kid was told again and again to make up his exams and never bothered. She was on medical leave for most of that semester.

She put her refusal in writing: “What is being done is unethical and could very well be interpreted as illegal.”

THE DISTRICT SUSPENDED HER.

She’s suing them right now.

At MNPS, when a teacher and an administrator disagree about a grade, THE ADMINISTRATOR WINS.

Not the person who taught the class. Not the person who graded the work.

The bureaucrat whose numbers go UP when your kid passes.

HOMESCHOOL YOUR KIDS!!!!!

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

The city of Denver makes it’s PBM contract available online. So I grabbed it and had Claude look at it and answer a simple question “Where are they getting ripped off”

Here is it’s response:

Denver is getting hit in six places, and the contract says so out loud. This is a self-funded City & County of Denver plan (4,051 employees / 8,554 participants, 1/1/2023–12/31/2025, $80M max) where the only stated pharmacy fee is… nothing. The medical admin fee is $45.13 PEPM. There is no PBM admin fee. That’s your first tell — the pharmacy program is priced entirely in the dark.
1. Spread pricing, written into the contract three separate times. Section A7 (Claims Processing): on mail, specialty and retail, United retains the difference between what it reimburses the network pharmacy and what Denver pays. It’s repeated in the General Conditions of the Pharmacy Financials exhibit and again in the Specialty Pharmacy Discount Guarantee conditions. So the AWP-discount guarantees describe what Denver pays — not what the pharmacy receives. The delta is Optum’s revenue, uncapped and unreported. For a public entity, that’s the whole ballgame. FTC found the Big 3 generated an estimated $1.4 billion of spread income on specialty generics alone.

2. Rebates: 100% retained, replaced with a fixed per-script number. Section A8: United keeps 100% of pharmacy rebates and pays Denver a fixed brand-script guarantee instead — $740.43 retail / $1,020.22 mail in 2023, rising to $885.02 / $1,105.10 by 2025. The contract then says explicitly that any rebates above the fixed amount are United’s to keep. Manufacturer rebate administration fees are folded into the guarantee, meaning they’re netted against what Denver was already owed rather than paid over. Denver has no idea what the actual rebate yield is, and no contractual right to find out.

3. The Rebate Credit clause is the biosimilar killer. If Denver moves to a biosimilar, an authorized alternative, or a lower-WAC brand, United gets credited toward its rebate guarantee for the manufacturer revenue it would have earned had Denver stayed on the high-rebate originator. Translation: United is financially indifferent to Denver buying the cheaper drug. Denver’s savings on ingredient cost get clawed back through the rebate math.

4. Your five clauses — all present, all in United’s favor. Specialty Drugs are defined as “Prescription Drugs available at United’s Specialty Pharmacy.” That’s a circular definition: whatever Optum stocks is specialty. Then: “United reserves the right to change the designation of a drug from specialty to non-specialty based on market conditions.” Then: specialty dispensed inside United’s specialty network is excluded from the retail and mail guarantees. Specialty dispensed outside it gets swept into the retail guarantee. Specialty rebates are “included in retail.” The specialty guarantee itself is 20.7% off AWP composite — and any specialty drug not on United’s list is guaranteed at only 14.0%. United controls the list. Every new high-cost launch defaults to the 14% bucket. And spread is retained on top of the discount either way.

5. Medical-benefit specialty has no guarantee at all. “Specialty drugs typically covered under the medical benefit (physician’s office, ambulatory, home infusion), and/or transitioned to the pharmacy benefit, are excluded from all guarantees.” That’s the buy-and-bill oncology and infusion book — the most expensive spend in the plan — with zero pricing accountability. On medical drug rebates Denver gets 80%, United keeps 20% plus float interest, and an unnamed subcontractor takes an undisclosed cut on top.

6. The lock-in clauses, which are the reason you can’t fix any of the above. Denver may not negotiate with any manufacturer for rebates or direct purchase — doing so forfeits earned-but-unpaid rebates. All pricing guarantees require United as exclusive mail provider. Terminating pharmacy services early means United keeps every pending and future rebate.

And so much more. Horrible people

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

So true. But don't forget your peer to peer is with someone who may or may not be a doctor, that works for a company, that was subcontracted by a company that was subcontracted by a company that was subcontracted by your insurance carrier for the sole purpose of denying care so the carrier can charge the employer for as many appeals as they can , hoping that everyone gives up so that they can tell the employer, whose CEO has no idea that the carrier they hired is doing this, that they saved them money

@pmarca has anyone at @a16z ever gotten a report showing the impact of denials on the health of your employees ?

I already know.

After working for 40 years, the average Social Security recipient gets $1850/month.

After being in America for 40 minutes, the average illegal “refugee” gets $3874/month.

And red or blue, that should PISS EVERYONE OFF.

🚨 JUST IN: Stephen Miller says it PERFECTLY

"A vote for any Democrat ANYWHERE, for ANY office, is empowering a party that wants to strip this country to the BONE, to take away our security, our defense, our way of life!"

"Just tonight, I saw a Democrat member of Congress online defending the Antifa terrorists in Texas who were just jailed for shooting an ICE officer!"

"Democrats you grew up with, the Democrats that your mom and dad grew up with, the Democrats that your grandma and grandpa grew up with do not exist anymore at all, not at any level of government!"

@StephenM

[Chad Huntsman @rxengineer]

@SenFettermanPA I really respect you @SenFettermanPA but most of your Democrat colleagues are too worried about reelection or padding their portfolios to stand up for America values. It’s why I am a Republican. Sometimes you just have to have a backbone.

Communism through (my) ages:
1) When I was 15, a teacher told me "It isn't as bad as they say, and makes a lot of sense."
2) At about 19, college friends, "Socialism isn't communism."
3) At 20, on meeting my grandfather-in-law, "They are evil. We escaped in 1949."
4) At 30, "China is a wonderful developing Democracy"
5) At 35, I was sent to communist China on business. It was a crowded, smelly, dirty, factory of despair and hopelessness. This I saw with my own eyes.
6) At 36, "China doesn't count. Successful socialism is in northern Europe."
7) I moved to northern Europe when I was 40. It was much nicer than China, but also felt like I was living in the past. I had to wait 6 months for a hernia operation.
8) When I was about 45, the migrant crisis began. The socialist/globalist/pacifist allowed them entry into every country, regardless how many crimes they committed along the way. Just 20 minutes from my house, in Calais, I was shocked to see migrants jumping onto trucks, breaking open the doors, scattering the contents across the highway, then climbing in. They went through the Chunnel and got out in England.
9) At 52, the soft socialism around me had transformed into globalism. I was told I had to call people by their preferred pronouns, though it was a lie, and even if I didn't know what the preferences were. I quit.
10) I returned to the US, and am now 60. "Socialism" is no longer a dirty word here. People openly espouse the virtues of it. Politicians run as socialists and win.

Socialism has taken many forms, from the Bolshevism of Russia, to the CCP in China, the Nazis in Germany, Fascists in Italy, and the many forms of it found in Latin America. It is one of the two most destructive ideologies on earth. It is designed to deprive, despirit, and murder everything that comes in contact with it.

Socialism is a great lie at every level. It helps no one, not even those who benefit the most. This is because the cost is the imposition of one's will on everyone else, and that destroys the soul of the usurper and the life of the oppressed.

Socialism always fails on its own, but only after destroying almost everything in its train. It can also be conquered. Those are the options.

I have a simple solution to this. If the SF Giant organization wants to pander to the LGBTQ community in its city that is fine. I would suggest that players who are Christians just don’t sign with the Giants! Tell your agent to sign with another club. https://t.co/CygOZzY6Z1

This is love.

Sometimes, a small act of kindness can really brighten someone’s day. One Saturday afternoon, Officer Cameron Tucker from the Volusia County Sheriff’s Department and his wife, Justine, were having dinner at Zaxby’s restaurant in Deland, Florida. It was just an ordinary day, until a young man named Juan, an African American college student, approached them.

Juan asked if he could pray for Cameron to keep him safe in his dangerous job. Cameron and Justine were surprised but welcomed the offer. Juan then placed his hand on Cameron’s shoulder and prayed for his protection. Justine shared the moment on her Facebook page, saying: “After crying my eyes out, we got to have an amazing conversation with this gentleman. He was on fire for God, and you could feel His presence in the room. He said he felt compelled to pray over Cameron.”

Juan is a football player at Stetson University in Deland and a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. He graduated high school with honors. The photo Justine took of Juan praying for Cameron has been shared over 25,000 times, with many people commenting. Juan’s grandmother, Berta O’Neil, was so proud of him for his kind act.

Since then, Juan and Cameron have kept in touch regularly.

“Tax the rich”
We already do.

“Make the rich pay their fair share.”
They already do.

These slogans are catchy but inaccurate. They reveal that someone is misinformed on taxation in the United States.

This is so true! Elon is making everyone richer.

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

.@BernieSanders , it is a time to celebrate. @elonmusk has created enormous value for society by building @SpaceX, driving down the cost of rocket launches and creating a global satellite communication network that has brought high speed, low-cost internet and communication access to hundreds of millions and eventually billions of people along with critical advantages for our military and our nation’s defense.

SpaceX and its technologies will cause an acceleration in the growth of wages and wealth creation globally, including in some of the poorest communities in the U.S. and around the world.

Access to low-cost, high speed communications everywhere will allow children around the world to be educated, families to build businesses, and life-saving medical knowledge and care to be available everywhere.

SpaceX will materially bring down the cost of compute, advancing AI and humanity.

Meanwhile, 4,000 SpaceX employees yesterday became millionaires, including hourly wage employees who you claim you are trying to help.

The Elon Musks of the world drive growth, global GDP, and provide access to goods and services at lower cost that would otherwise not exist.

Elon’s nominal trillionaire status is due to his ownership of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, the Boring Company and his other initiatives that have brought new technologies that improve our everyday lives.

Elon is not sitting on a trillion dollar pile of cash, jewelry and gold. He is using his controlling stakes in his companies to advance mankind. Elon’s companies don’t pay dividends. They reinvest all of their capital to accelerate innovation and value creation.

Elon is working 24/7 for all of us. He deserves respect and appreciation, not smears.

Bernie, your socialism would never allow a SpaceX to be built. Socialism has only proven to impoverish mankind and lead to death and destruction.

We need to create the conditions for more SpaceXs to be built, not attack the great entrepreneurs who are helping to advance our country.

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

At 17, Dawn Loggins came home from a summer program and discovered her family was gone.

No note.

No warning.

No home.

Months later, she received an acceptance letter from Harvard.

This is her story.

Dawn grew up in rural North Carolina in a house without electricity or running water.

When the family needed water, she and her brother walked to a public park and filled jugs from the bathroom faucets.

Showers were rare.

Classmates called her dirty.

She kept showing up to school.

Her parents moved constantly.

Eviction after eviction.

New town.

New school.

By age 17, Dawn had attended four different high schools and missed nearly an entire year of education.

Most students would have fallen behind.

Dawn excelled.

When she arrived at Burns High School in 2010, guidance counselor Robyn Putnam immediately saw something special.

Dawn enrolled in makeup courses.

Studied before sunset because there were no lights at home.

Took AP classes.

Earned straight A's.

Joined clubs.

Then led them.

Photography Club.

Rock Climbing Club.

Spanish Club.

President of all three.

That summer she earned a place at the prestigious Governor's School of North Carolina.

Teachers helped buy her clothes.

Putnam drove her 200 miles to the program.

Nobody knew where Dawn would be living when it ended.

The concern turned out to be justified.

Near the end of the program, Dawn tried calling home.

The number was disconnected.

When she returned, the house was empty.

Her parents had moved away.

She was 17 years old.

Homeless.

Alone.

Most people would have stopped there.

Dawn didn't.

She couch-surfed.

Carried toiletries in her backpack because she never knew where her next shower would come from.

And every morning at 6 a.m., she went to work.

As a school custodian.

She swept hallways.

Cleaned classrooms.

Scrubbed desks.

Then sat down and earned straight A's.

By graduation year, she had:
• Straight A grades
• AP courses
• Leadership roles in three clubs
• A part-time job before school every morning

Then a teacher made one suggestion:

Apply to Harvard.

Dawn laughed.

Then thought:

"Why not?"

She became the first student in Burns High School history to apply.

Months later, an envelope arrived.

Harvard College.

Accepted.

Full tuition.

Full room and board.

Everything covered.

On graduation day in 2012, when her name was announced, the entire gymnasium stood and applauded.

Teachers cried.

Students cheered.

The girl who cleaned their hallways before sunrise was heading to Harvard.

When asked about her parents, Dawn didn't speak with anger.

She simply said:

"I love my parents. I disagree with the choices they've made."

Then she added something even more powerful:

"If I had not had those experiences, I wouldn't be such a strong-willed or determined person."

Burns High School had over 1,000 students.

Dawn Loggins became the first ever accepted to Harvard.

Proof that the circumstances you're born into are not the same thing as the future you're capable of building.
