People wouldn’t be moving to these states if their salaries got slashed. there’s the proof paul. people are moving because they expect their lives will improve.

Take it up w/the CEO.

I was wondering when you would come back w/a snarky comment. Such a bad look on a grown man.

I've visited lot of red states. Been to brentwood TN 3 - 4 times (one of Jim's favorites I believe). TN Titan games were fun. Had a great time each time.

Left to their own devices Red states will decimate public education
To start
Welcome to DeSantisstan where former servicemembdrs and their spouses can teach on a certificate: “She was a waitress. She starts teaching 3rd grade next week & the only thing she had to do to get this teaching certification was to observe certified teachers…she had to ask me what I meant by phonetic spelling.

Texas short 3000 teachers
Remember when y’all told all the teachers they should quit if they didn’t like the crappy pay and public hate? They took your advice..

the GOP's goal is to destroy public education and replace it with gated private schools for the elite, religious indoctrination for the middle class and child labor for the children of the poor. Loading the public schools with incompetent teachers advances that goal.

i posted that the public high schools in Hollis NH and Franklin TN were ranked much higher than the public school in the nice CT suburb where i live.

No one who lives in those places, , is worried that the state is going to ruin the public schools.

let me get this straight. The GOP, the ones who support school
choice for poor kids, secretly want to take poor kids out of school
entirely and make them
slaves?

you’re saying the gop caters to the wealthy, yet you also say the GOP is the hime to the trashy poor. which is it?

you should publish a newsletter. I bet David Hinkley would subscribe.

Silly girl, I didn’t say that and you know that.

Floriduh is certifying incompetent people to teach
Texas is short thousands of competent teachers

I wouldn’t be upset if David Hinkley subscribed, I’m sure John Hinkley is enthralled with his subscription to your feed.

you posted that the gop wants to destroy public schools. i posted several
right leaning places that have terrific public schools according to US News and World Report.

You made it up. And we all know it.

New Hampshire doesn’t fit that category
Floriduh isn’t in it
Give them time, the Supreme Theocratic Court can’t do it all in one term.

The Supreme Court of the Theocracy decided to outlaw abortion

In his Rome speech on religious liberty, Justice Alito mocked "foreign leaders" who condemned his opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, including Boris Johnson, Macron, Trudeau, and ... Prince Harry.

Of Boris, Alito quipped: "He paid the price."

It’s clear that Alito has a lot of ego wrapped up in his authorship of the Dobbs opinion. Which underscores that it wasn’t an objective, dispassionate application of the law.

Who would have guessed?

Wrong. Lie.

They decided that it's a state issue. The Supreme Court didn't even come close to outlawing abortion.

Wrong. Lie.
The extreme right wing Supreme Court decided to throw out a decades old decision based on religious reasons.
Alito said as much in Rome.

They didn't decree that anything was illegal. Nothing.

And Ruth Bader Ginsberg had also said that the Roe decision was flawed (nothing to do with religion, just that it was a bad legal ruling). But it's OK when she says it.

There's nothing religious about wanting unelected judges to stick to their oath and abide by the constitution. That's a secular argument, not a religious one.

Samuel Alito: Top US judge mocks world leaders over abortion ruling


"I had the honour this term of writing I think the only supreme court decision in the history of that institution that has been lambasted by a whole string of foreign leaders who felt perfectly fine commenting on American law," Mr Alito said.

"One of these was Boris Johnson, but he paid the price,"

HOW so?


Referring to religious liberty, he said it was "under attack in many places because it is dangerous to those who want to hold complete power".

the old christians are being attacked for their faith MANTA


Yep just another example the ruling had nothing to do with Mans Law

But he ruled for God's law

[Pete F.]

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito decried what he called “hostility to religion,” as he made his first public remarks since the release of his opinion overturning the constitutional right to abortion.
The hostility toward religion comes from people who are tired of having someone else’s religious beliefs forced upon them. Religious freedom is 100% protected in this country but that doesn’t mean you can legally impose it on others, though the radical SCOTUS & GOP do it anyway.

A consultant to Doug Mastriano, the Republican nominee for governor in PA, says that he doesn't want Ben Shapiro (and other Jews) in his movement unless they “repent” and renounce their Jewish faith.

This is what Christian nationalism looks like.

I'm not sure that holding up the PACT Act for legislative revenge is the winning play the GOP conference thinks it is.

Scott, I was worried something happened to you. You've missed a few typos.

If you judge Republicans by their words, they’re horrible.

If you judge them by their actions, they’re even worse.

NO is gonna win in Kansas.

This is a political earthquake. Roe woke up a giant.

Complete game-changer heading into the midterms.

They tried every dirty trick in the book. It didn't help.

“Let the states decide.”

…5 weeks later…

“No, that’s not what we meant!l!”

Even their plan to keep the vote off the General election ballot failed

You won’t see red states putting abortion on the ballot anytime soon

Hoping that turnout by women saying FU for thinking you can take my rights away transfers to the midterms and even 24. Kansas is as red as red gets and women turned out in big numbers, could be the Row decision comes back to bite the GOP.

Georgia residents can now claim embryos as dependents on their tax returns, after the state banned most abortions.

Wow talk about bribery. Why else would GA do this ? They could have have done this prior to Roe being overturned

Make no mistake, the anti-choice movement is going to look at what happened in Kansas and decide that their best path to criminalize abortion is a federal ban.

That’s what they’re planning, and that's what's on the ballot this November.

Cecile Richards said that 20% of the ballots in Kansas had no votes cast for anything other than the Abortion issue.....

IN state Rep. Davisson (R) argues for requiring forced birth of non-viable fetuses.

Asked what he would tell children of a mother going through pregnancy resulting in stillbirth: "[None] of us are guaranteed tomorrow. We must accept death as a consequence of life."
