The fourth and correct option is school choice and let parents decide who and what they want their children to be taught. Because public schools get a consistent F, because they aren't teaching reading and stuff. And nobody is erasing slavery. They just aren't willing to line up white kids on one side of the room and tell them they are the oppressors and the black kids the victims. Dems have blacks on the plantation, it's just in a different location. Don't act like libs give a tinkers dang about black kids. If they can't kill them with abortions they let them be gunned down in the streets or sent to prison. They could care less until it comes time to vote. Then you better get your black self in line and vote Dem.
Public school has every advantage over private school, parochial school and homeschool. The fact that the teachers union fights against vouchers should concern everyone about why? Why are they so sure that vouchers will kill public school?

I'm just speaking on the people I have interacted with here on this forum. That's why I blocked ZNP. For disrespecting me and implying that I'm lazy and don't work when I work two jobs
What! Say it ain't so, the workin man has blocked me! I'm sorry if I said that a trust fund baby was different from a workin man. I get it, times are tough for you now that your trust fund is not paying as much as it used to. And that by no means should be taken to mean you are lazy. I'm sorry if your trust fund is a sore point with you and you are embarrassed about it. But you brought it up, not me, I had no idea you were ashamed of being a trust fund baby.

The whole thing of Canada is "ripping" us off is such a lie especially where the auto industry is concerned.
A petulant child is in office, rather scary.
This requires balance and an open mind. I am an agriculture minded person. I grew up based in an agriculture economy.

Is Canada ripping us off in the agriculture sector? Milk, cheese, butter, chicken, eggs,turkey and some grains have tariffs of 200% to 300%.

The "game" is to bring a trade deficit to 0. But America ALWAYS takes the hit.

Not exactly. Countries balance their trade with us by buying US treasuries, that is why no one has made a big fuss until now. Just recently they stopped buying US treasuries. So Trump has let them know, if you aren't going to buy our treasuries then we will have balanced trade. This is why the response to his announcement is that everyone started buying US Treasuries.

Trump reminds me of my youth and my first boss.

I considered my first boss a lucky idiot......I didn't understand that he was a first rate business man that knew the "inside." Knew the inner workings. He failed at times, but was an overall success.

😳Seems that some republicans are in agreement with these tariffs Donald Trump has put in place causing prices to go higher,even though they said they liked Donald Trump because they wanted a better economy.We’ll see how long this so called😳 “temporary pain“ is going to last and how long before they turn on Donald Trump when they start feeling this 😳“temporary pain”in their pocket books.😳
personally I don’t think it was ever Really about the economy so much but about wanting Donald Trump to be president.
MAGA <—what does that Really mean?

You do know that the pres lied with these number, when it comes to dairy products never once has the USA crossed the threshold on Dairy to kick start these higher taxes.

As I have stated many times and it is completely factual, aside from oil the USA has a trade surplus with Canada.
And we sell our oil to the USA at a discounted rate.

As well, Alberta mostly produces crude heavy oil and the USA is mostly set up to handle this crude oil.
The USA wants us to pay more for NATO, protection fine that is not about trade then, that is about something else.

What do you feel makes him interesting?
He has had an interesting life. He has appeared in several movies, commercials and had a long-running tv show. He has been in the news practically his whole life. Being interesting is not the same as being of good character though.

Well they aren't done, they are dragging her giggling self out again. Musk is temporary, as is DOGE. I don't know if Trump can turn this around, but he's gonna give it a he$$ of a try. But the Dems :poop:-ed on every part of this country. Short of a miracle, I don't know if it can be saved. I know this, if America falls, tell your unsaved loved ones and friends to get in the boat. The Lords return will be imminent.
Without the US the whole world would probably be at war. I agree with your estimation about what will happen if America falls.

Margaret Sanger has been deceased for 60 years.
Also I think this is the third time I've asked. Can you provide a single citation of planned Parenthood forcing a black mother to abort her child?

Margret Sanger is alive and well in the hearts and minds of Dems. They already let slip that they have no issues with infanticide. Abortion is not even a blip on their screen. They have sold black women a lie for many, many years. It started with Sanger and continues with Planned Parenthood.

Third time I've said this but no black woman is being forced to abort her child. It's a decision the mother makes on her own
Maybe stop voting for people who want to take away safety net programs for poor people and there will be fewer abortions

A word of encouragement concerning the tariffs and stock market collapse.

Ecclesiastes 2:11 Then I considered all that my hands had done and all the toil I had expended on it, and behold, everything was vanity and a striving after wind. There was no profit under the sun.

It was all vanity and a striving after wind. The good news is you still have time to turn to the Lord and put your trust in Him.
