- 502Posted by JohnRandALL 1 week, 5 days ago to Trump promises to dismantle the censorship cartelSo true!
- 503Posted by JohnRandALL 1 week, 5 days ago to education and the failingSorry to hear that. The systemic wokeness in our school systems is a major problem that is going to be very hard to correct. It's ingrained, from administrators down to principals and to individual teachers. I think few children are able to overcome the indoctrination.
- 504Posted by JohnRandALL 1 week, 5 days ago to Monday MemesThat one is probably semen to be a little offensive to some. LOL. I've used the Teddy quote many times (even if maybe he didn't say it). All great ones, Dobrien!
- 505Teddy R almost certainly never said that quote. Could it possibly be by Abe Lincoln, Thomas Edison, Charles the II (or III), or Napoleon Bonaparte? That's what Florence Foster Jenkins told me, I'm sure.
- 506Posted by DrZarkov 1 week, 5 days ago to Dream Come TrueI'd like to see the death of baseline budgeting and a requirement for zero base budgets, forcing the agencies to justify every last dime every fiscal year. The Founders warned us that many fiscal sins would come from the "general welfare" statement in the Constitution's preamble, so expect Democrats to wail about how "cold-hearted" the Trump team is when they start seeing the vote-buying handouts disappearing from the budget.

- 508Posted by LibertyBelle 1 week, 5 days ago to IN THE MEME TYME 11/4/24 EDITION: TRASH . . .I was concerned about how to avoid buying any products made in totalitarian states. From one thing I have seen, I have figured that most companies in the US who get such things would rather not admit
it.. So I thought that there might be some law which requires them to state it when it occurs, as when I find that a product has an admission on it that it was made in China, it is likely to be on it in very small letters. I am not saying that that is
proven, just that it seems likely from what has occurred. - 509That's correct. Stopping that gravy train will be a massive achievement.
- 510Posted by VetteGuy 1 week, 5 days ago to education and the failingHis name is not Harrison Bergeron, by any chance?
- 511Posted by freedomforall 1 week, 5 days ago to education and the failing54 years ago, the valedictorian of our high school was passed over for making a graduation speech
because there were no women in the top five graduates (and he had "already received enough honors"
according to school officials.)
Number 7 was promoted because of her gender instead of her achievement as a student.
She went on to work in a SoCal private university (no doubt promoting DEI.)
He went on to found and run a business until "retirement" at age 45. - 512A second good set. But I absolutely agree with the danger between now and January. They threatened warfare against Trump to keep him from running; that failed.They followed through with their threats to prevent him from campaigning, that failed. They tried to assassinate him to keep him from being elected; that failed.
The only thing they have left is to try and prevent him from being sworn in; if he does get sworn in, it's all over for them.
My best guess is something that requires martial law to be invoked. So yeah, the next 2+ months will be an incredibly dangerous time to live in this country, since God only knows how low the libs and progs will go to prevent President-elect Trump from becoming President Trump. - 513Meme #1 top promoted me dino to do some calculator subtraction to see how many more "voted" 2020 compared to this year.
Me dino determined that during 2020 an increase of approximately 2,615,980 voters proves that The Walking Dead TV show was far more popular than it is now. - 514Great collection! And I might have to come out of retirement to get into advertising...
- 515Just so you know me dino's woe take a look at Meme #4 top at the state of Alabama on the USA map.
That singular blue dot you see is Birmingham's Jefferson County where I voted for Trump on election day with a concealed carry in my right front pocket. I had not a bit of trouble, though.
This 77-year-old hobbling on a cane avoided the long line and was waved over to the Age 70+ senior citizen table as easy as the American apple pie the Smothers Brothers Show kept referring to but I never baked..
Also on the map, that only long blue line you see separating Bama's sea of rea of red is called "The Black Belt." It might as well be called The Blue Belt for always voting like stupid Blue Meanies.
Blue Meanies were the bad guys in some old animated antiquated Beatles movie I saw during the Sixties but very vaguely recall.
Whoa! Only just now a "Yellow Submarine" title awakens in me ancient memory. - 516Elon is my new crush along with Tyrus.
Great bunch today. - 517Posted by fairbro 1 week, 5 days ago to Dream Come TrueMusk emphasizes about the transparency and openness in this process. This is the key. The Deep State gets away with murder because all of it - everything - every action by every bureaucrat, in every agency, in the Federal Triangle, is hidden behind a wall "classified Information" and "mishandling classified information" is a felony.
Ronald Reagan's "Tear Down this Wall" advice to Gorby was never more apt than now.
I would hope this can be extended to intelligence agencies, so we can finally see what the Deep State has been doing to get us into wars, and creating hostility instead of understanding, for the past century.
I am looking forward to being able to get an IRS employee on the phone instead of waiting for YEARS to resolve issues they make mistakes on or when their brainless computer dispatches letters with jargonated ununderstandable language. And to get clarity on the oddest "loans" in world history - Dept. Treasury EIDL loans, and why their webpages hide pertinent financial information.
Ths is one reason why so many Americans are angry. DC denies the average American the ability to communicate with the government, and that's the worst thing you can do to a human being - deny him his speech. - 518Pasted the IT one onto our Dev list...
- 519Posted by JakeOrilley 1 week, 5 days ago to Monday MemesExcellent Collection!!!! Thanks DOB!
- 520Posted by Dobrien 1 week, 5 days ago to education and the failingThat’s what equality in school means today. Don’t raise the bar to the over achievers level. Bring the over achiever down to the laggards. SMH
The culprit is common core in school. It has been now brought into industry with DEI (Didn’t Earn It)
Color , sexual orientation Quotas ensures that the Quality is reduced. - 521Posted by Dobrien 1 week, 5 days ago to Tucker Carlson Issues Urgent Warning On McConnell’s ‘Coup’ Aimed At Derailing Trump Agenda ? - [NIFO the Neocons]Did you? I have know this for years.
- 522This mentality has, unfortunately, been around for a very long time.
When I was in high school (graduated '75), I was naive; I thought the reason I was in school was to learn stuff. I didn't realize that the "conform, or else" movement had already taken root in our educational system. If there were 20 homework problems assigned and I felt I knew what was being taught after 8 problems, I would randomly do 1 or 2 more, just to be sure. And that's what I turned in.
So three different times during my junior and senior years the head of the math department threatened to suspend me for cheating, since there was no way I could ace test after test if I didn't do all the homework.
In his little fiefdom (er, in his office), here was my answer to his accusations: Test me. You know what the test covered; make up a few problems right here and now (or grab a few from a homework assignment that you know I didn't answer), and I'll do them right now, in front of you, and give you the answers.
In all three of those sessions, I aced his test. And all three times, as I was leaving his office, he was still grumbling and expressing doubt that I had legitimately learned the lesson.
That was probably my first conscious awareness that something was wrong with our entire educational system. So my heart goes out to this first grader; I've been where he is, and it doesn't get any easier. - 523Posted by mccannon01 1 week, 5 days ago to Monday MemesGood set of memes, Dobrien. Thanks for posting. The RINO rhinos is a great meme and Carter really accelerated the demise of American education. So many comments, so little time...
- 524Posted by mccannon01 1 week, 5 days ago to education and the failingI am deeply saddened to hear this, kddr22. I hope this child can be rescued from such a horrid environment.
- 525Posted by jack1776 1 week, 5 days ago to I just had a reoccurring experience…My wife and I moved here from Comifornia 3 years ago to escape the craziness and to setup a place for our adult children to go when they decide they had enough. For the most part Boise is great, you can strike up a conversation with almost anyone and not worry about offending them. California, not so much, everyone is so judgmental over stupidity.
