   As a chemistry instructor at a community college, I get dirty looks from students when I ask them to do simple math: addition, percentages, division, multiplication, etc without their phone or a calculator as a first day lab exercise. Basic college algebra is a prerequisite for the course and many are concurrently taking calculus…… Some truly struggle…..

   Yes I believe her grandfather was involved in the socialist party and the populist movement back then. Probably was a fan of the Kingfish, Huey Long.

   Unfortunately, your logic is sound.

   She started out in the ‘40s in the Young People’s Socialist League and just kept drifting further and further to the right, like Kyrsten Sinema in many ways.

   Miss Phelps’ next question: “Knute, did you ever eat lead paint chips as a child?”. Knute: “Yeah….Ummmm why???”

   We certainly need a Green New Deal but in order to achieve this we need younger progressive minds to start calling the shots in entities like the DNC rather than corporate tools who are beholden to conglomerates and 1%ers. Obviously the repubbas are beyond help but maybe the younger generation can force out the deadwood in the DNC. The clock is ticking and we may have already gone beyond the point of no return. The progressive dems (The Squad, Bernie, Liz and a few others), Greens and the DSA get it but our cries for help are essentially ignored except around election time when the DNC’s gang of conglomerate tools make empty promises and give us lip service.

   BS dude and you know it. Matthews got away with his neanderthal behavior for years and was never touched. The fact he went after Bernie got him run, amen for that, the dude was a corporate right of center tool. I know tools in the industry spin the story as you seem to do, but as a result lack integrity for doing this. I can read and I think you are a tool for the Establishment. Any idiot can read between the lines so why do you cover for the tool? You have the marks of an educated journalist and or a lawyer but the smell of a sell out as well. Good luck in your endeavors, I hope the Green Party agenda I pray for comes true.

    Sugarloaf “Mountain” just a bit north of Oralndo is at 312 feet and up in the panhandle the highest elevation for the whole state is 345 feet in a spot between Fort Walton Beach and the Bama border. My elevation here at my house is about 70 feet in NE Hillsborough, safe for now but I think I will advise my soon to be an FSU graduate daughter to sell it after my wife and I go off to the happy hunting ground and find a place further from the Gulf or any of the oceans…..
