I see Governor ‘Bud’ Abbott is banning vaccine mandates in Texas. Even private businesses can’t require their employees be vaccinated. Last I heard. private businesses can do what ever they want.

I’m with the mom on the “No CRT” thing. Flat-screens are way better.

Just another crazy right winger doing what the UnAmerican right wing hate talk radio and TV told her to do.

Where there’s Trump, there’s fire: Blazes and explosions darken his businesses

Fire Chief John Fogarty said one 1982 blaze was “definitely, absolutely, positively arson.” But seven hours later Deputy Fire Commissioner John Mulligan declared it accidental.

April 7, one resident was killed and three people were injured after an explosion on the 50th floor of Trump Tower. Six firefighters were injured battling the four-alarm fire. Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro noted that the Trump Tower “upper floors, the resident floors, are not sprinklered.”

The resident who died, Todd Brassner, 67, had tried to sell his $2.5 million condo unit, but after Trump became president there were no buyers. Rents plummeted in the 58-story concrete tower. The price fall began when Trump declared his candidacy in June 2015.

Commissioner Nigro said the blaze was a “very difficult fire,” even though most of the damage was contained to Brassner’s apartment 50C. Six firefighters sustained minor injuries but the lack of other injuries or damage seems incredibly lucky as reportedly the smoke alarms didn’t function the night of the fire. Some residents complained that “the building did not announce there was a fire and they failed to say to evacuate.”

Is he wearing a “Flash” shirt? Or is that symbol and color scheme re-purposed now?

Overheard some people at the nonprofit where I volunteer loudly proclaiming that all teachers were poisoning the minds of children, followed by several profanities aimed against teachers… I pointed out that they were off-base, as I have teaching experience and know better… they proceeded to chastise me (these were people who had been asking for and praising my help for years beforehand)… so now I have more free time, and they can pay people to do the handyman stuff I had been doing for free.

Parents have been doing this for a long time, just different fake issues. In the late ’50s “concerned parents” forced the local school board to turn down federal subsidies for school lunches. In the ’80s when our daughter was in grade school it was Halloween and fairy tales with witches.

What an A**hole for governor!

Well, I see the trolls have ignored my post.

What the hell is this mandate ‘’Employees must wash hands after using toilet’‘? Next they’ll tell me not to carry a concealed weapon. There’s no end to this.

It’s a sad statement that kids nowadays have more to fear from their parents than they do from bullies.

Republicans are against government interference, except when they are in favor of government interference. They are people that you can count on, for being undependable.

Bullies will be bullies. The apple seldom falls far from the tree.

Why do people go on (and on and on and on) about CRT in schools? As far as I know that’s a college level subject—not something for elementary or middle school.
