@elonmusk@battleangelviv From a former high school teacher, please stop saying this. All high school kids hear is, "I don't need to work hard or put forth any effort."
You know who dislikes bad teachers more than anyone? Good teachers.
A few bad teachers can damage the reputation of an entire profession.
Teachers deserve a chance to improve. But if they don’t, even with support, it’s time to let them go.
America is ultimately a centrist and deeply patriotic nation. The vast majority of us do not want to be represented by people who celebrated on September 11, January 6, or October 7.
It's hard for me to believe that, at a time when the Russians continue to bring misery and destruction to the people of Ukraine, we would even consider giving them an economic lifeline by buying their diesel fuel. This has to stop.
I typically fly to DC on major airlines (or drive), but recently I flew on JetBlue, Southwest, & Breeze because they had direct flights to my destinations.
Amazed at how clean & new their jets are.
Allegiant has been great too.
Last Frontier flight was a nightmare.
Thoughts?
To all Gator Nation, its fans and supporters.
We need to stay positive and continue to have an optimistic outlook on our football program. What we can’t do and need to stop is this bickering, false rumor spreading, gossiping type of crap.
We need to understand that change takes time. Culture change within a program takes time. It doesn’t happen in one spring practice or training camp. I would recommend everyone watch the Saban documentary on ESPN. Especially the first 2 episodes. He talks about it and the players talk about changing the culture within the program. The mindset of the players and building the foundation for the future players so they understand the standard when they step foot on campus.
Sumrall and his staff are in the process of doing that. It takes time. Some players change and adapt quickly. Others take time. And some don’t change at all and those players find their way out of the program.
Like all Gator fans, I was excited after our first 4 games. It was great to truly be relevant again. To see a team play with a physicality and a fire that we hadn’t truly seen under Billy. A coach in Sumrall who doesn’t shy away from pointing out the obviously and exudes confidence. But to be honest, some of us saw the weakness. Sumrall told us we weren’t back yet. But lots of us didn’t want to see it or listen to it.
Here we are now, 2 bad loses after a 4-0 start and a couple good wins. We still have a team that is changing and adapting to what is being asked of them. Change takes time like I said. It’s easy to buy in to the changes, especially culture changes when we are winning. The true determinant is when shit starts hitting the fan. Do the plays quit because things start getting hard and fall back into the old ways of doing things or thinking. Or do they stick to the plan. Have the mental strength to push past these hard times, continue to work hard, and believe in their coaches and their leadership.
This is will the team is at. I believe we have the right guy captaining the ship and the players to follow his lead. We, as followers, fans, supporters, need to continue to show up and show our support. We have seen glimpses of what I believe will be our future. But as I said, change, full change takes time. And we need to give Sumrall and these players time to do it.
So what I ask, from one Gator to another, is stop this BS rumor mill going on social. It’s doing nobody any good. It’s only hurting us and our team. Let’s stick together and support these coaches and players.
In all kinds of weather, we all stick together!!!🐊🐊🐊 @GatorsFB
The test for tribal loyalty is whether you will endorse the most ridiculous thing your side is doing. That is why it matters to disavow this.
No conservative should cheer the White House banning CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the building. It is bad optics. It is a bad precedent. And it is more than symbolic.
The United States may be entering the most dangerous period since the defeat at Fredericksburg in 1862. It is clear that our will to survive is declining. The Iranian religious dictatorship continues to chant “death to America” and continues to work on its nuclear program and its missile systems. It is openly allied with Russia, Communist China and North Korea. The. Iranians have been targeting Americans and are openly trying to drive the United States out of the Region. The Democrats have become their allies and consistently vote for surrender when the choice comes up in the Congress. Some Republicans have become tired of the fight and the confusion and would accept a face saving defeat. The American people entered this fight with a clear understanding of what is at stake. According to America’s New Majority Project 55% believe the Iranians really mean it when they say death to America (62% of independents). Nearly two thirds of Americans (64%) believe the nuclear threat is real. The Iranian refusal to negotiate in good faith helps convince 60% that the nuclear threat from Iran is real. In fact 64% of the American people believe that a nuclear armed Iran could target American cities and kill millions. A series of Presidential Oval Office addresses laying out the 47 year history of Iran attacking Americans, killing Americans, supporting terrorist groups to kill American and working consistently to build weapons to bring “death to America” would solidify support for an all out effort to replace the religiously inspired dictatorship which has proven again and again that it can take a tremendous amount of punishment and continue to work toward destroying America. We have to either defeat the Iranian dictatorship or accept a willingness to coexist with Iranian nuclear weapons and missiles capable of destroying our citizens and killing millions. We are at a crossroads and there is not a third choice.
Trump just reaffirmed his intention to ban CNN, Politico, and MS NOW from the White House. Such a move would be an assault on long-honored principles of a free press. I have often joined in the criticism over the bias of these outlets, but barring disfavored media from the White House is a terrible precedent and practice...
I agree with POTUS that several media outlets covering the WH are biased and unfair.
Banning them from the WH is not the solution. Open the pool and the briefing room to conservatives. Challenge liberal reporters. Argue and defeat them.
Don’t ban them.
Or one day they’ll ban us.
