Two takeaways from the last two Presidential elections in 2020 and 2024:

1. In 2020 (and still continuing!), the Trump supporters on this blog behaved like sore losers.

2. In 2024, the Trump supporters on this blog are behaving like sore winners.

Seems those folks are just always sore.

I can appreciate few people want something imposed upon them that would restrict their freedom.

Please list which progressive initiatives restrict your freedom.

" Any wild polio in US is brought here by migrants, who are not required to be screened nor vaccinated.

I suspect any wild polio virus in the US could also be brought in by most any traveler who is not screened nor vaccinated and not just migrants. Given that the number of travelers coming to the US vastly outnumbers the number of migrants, that is a much more likely source of wild polio virus cases in the US. Such was the case of the July 2022 incidence in the US:

"I didn't have to think about what the truth was.... I just did whatever Thomas J. Pendergast, told me to do.

What? No quotation marks. How about some historical context about this "information". ROFLMAO!!!

It is true that Thomas J. Pendergast helped Harry Truman get a VERY early start in politics, but that tenuous political connection vaporized long before Harry Truman ascended on the political stage. Mr. Pendergast died before Mr. Truman became President and there's scant/no evidence that Mr. Truman gave Mr. Pendergast political favors. Dredging up this (undocumented) tidbit from a political associate of Mr. Truman's decade-distant political past is ridiculous.

Thank you for the laugh, tho'!

I am able, but it's your claim so I'm not doing your homework for you. Speaking of "willfully ignorant": Are you new here (or on blogs in general)? Your claim; your proof. Capiche?

That said, the link you provided is referring to a transwoman situation and the multitude of difficulties in having a successful birth (which, I suspect has not been done yet!).

Bottom line: Not at all what you claimed, so try again.

To quote a previous post:

IOW: provide evidence for your claim.

How do you know what President-elect Trump is getting done between now and January 20? Are you psychic?

Oh, did you intend to say BEFORE now? That likely would be while President-elect Trump was a private citizen (much like he currently is). I wonder if any of those efforts constitute a violation of the Logan Act.

IRONY FLAGS:
- Folks, who ranted about the weaponization of the DOJ (with little, if any, evidence BTW!), are now supporting the selection of an individual who has (both verbally and actually) said he will do precisely that: the weaponization of the DOJ.

- Folks, who were concerned about the excessive reach/intrusion and expansive use of government power (especially towards individuals!), are now delighted that the President-elect claims he will do precisely that to slake his thirst for vengeance and revenge.

- Folks, who bemoaned the division amongst American citizens and the fracturing of their social ties with those citizens, now support the President-elect's plans to magnify that division in an effort to promote the "US" vs ""THEM".

After a bit more thought, it's difficult to determine if this situation is more ironic or hypocritical.
In any event: you built that.

"How much have test score scores gone up since the Department of education was created in the late 1970s?
#8 | POSTED BY HOMERJ AT 2024-11-29 06:53 AM"

The Department of Education did not become an operating Cabinet position until 1980. The history of the Department of Education goes back to nearly the Civil War!

Test scores go up/down for a multitude of reasons. Any valid comparison of data requires (at a minimum!) the inclusion of a control group. That's just basic Scientific Method 101. That said, for a "quickie analysis" one only has to peruse the effects of the disruption of the educational system during the COVID epidemic.

FTA:
" I had an excellent conversation with President Donald Trump,' Sheinbaum Pardo wrote on X.

We discussed Mexico's strategy on the migration phenomenon and I shared that caravans are not arriving at the northern border because they are being taken care of in Mexico.' "

So, that problem was already being handled by Mexico regardless of the GOP's disingenuous claims during their recent election campaigning.

Seems like just another example of President-elect Trump attempting to take credit for someone else's efforts.
