It would make more sense to you if you were living in California and saw an ad nearly every TV break saying that Prop 50 is a temporary measure needed to counter Texas redistricting. Obama told me so!


Wrong again.



Hopefully, the above helps you understand things that you simply don't understand.


Sadly, your reading comprehension is just as bad as your hearing.
Obama never said that it was a temporary measure.

I caught you lying again.
Shocker.

Sadly, your understanding of the bill is just as bad as your memory.
What does Obama mean when he says it preserves independent redistricting in the long term?

Please make an effort to connect the dots between the verbiage of the bill in the ballot, the CA Democrat website description of the bill, and Obama's message.

I caught you lying again.
Shocker. And Thanks again!

I'd settle for a prohibition against trading options, unless related to owned stock. It's one thing to buy a 1,000 shares of X, it's another to buy a 1,000 short dated-call options a few weeks before a major positive announcement. I take the latter as prima facie evidence of corruption.

Democrats lose so much because of all the Surrendur Democrats

It is not feasible to have California election law determined by Texas outcomes. If Texas changes something at the last minute then CA plans are invalidated? Be serious.

If Texas changed plans before CA voted then Team Newsom could have pulled Prop 50 (subject to those laws). Now CA has voted. Stand strong and stop being whimpering Surrendur Democrats.

Yeah, but it was sold to voters as a law with a trigger that would reverse if Texas reversed. If it turns out it's not that way then at least some subset of voters will feel misled. This kind of switcheroo loses trust.


I definitely agree with you here. It probably wouldn't matter locally as I don't see California turning red anytime soon but it could hurt Gavy if he actually runs for president

Very sad. I'm sure we all had our moments of over indulgence in college, assuming that was a factor in this.

Side note: why tf is your "safety" coordinator a 19 year old freshman (maybe sophomore)

Could also matter on the margins, like the next time Democrats want support on a controversial measure the public will not give them the same percentages.

If the state Republican party could get their s*** together they could maybe take advantage of things like this, but that hasn't been the case for a long time.

I can't remember the details but there was news a little while back about some school district in CA adopting a grading scale where A's went all the way down to like 80%; F's started at like 50%. Cray cray.

I am a recently retired high school teacher and my kids are currently in 8th and 11th grade.

Grading by strict percentages (no matter what they are) can be problematic.

If one of your softball players is batting .450, that's probably good, right? Well, 45% is actually an "F" by many measures.

If an airline pilot lands his plane safely 95% of the time, he gets an "A", but I'm not going near his flight.

These are extreme examples to prove a point, but you get the idea. More to the point, I can make up a multiple choice test to get most any scores I want by manipulating the "distractors" (wrong answers).

Society wants percentage-based grading because it seems objective. It can be, in theory, but oftentimes it is not.



https://bearinsider.com/forums/6/topics/81358/replies/2589206

In a post above I mentioned grade inflation.
I then mentioned the problem with pushing kids to perform.

Two different issues, but as a teacher and a parent I'd love to hear your thoughts on both.

Is grade inflation real? What percentage of kids get (got) A's in your classes, school? What should the (a) curve look like?

If one school were to implement a strict curve and others don't, that F's up the first school's kids college application competitiveness. So then it should be mandated statewide?

When I graduated HS, I understood that 3 kids had straight A's all 4 years. But now it may be as high as 10%, a teacher estimated to me. They award two valedictorians:

One by the AP adjusted GPA method, the other by the non-adjusted method so that kids who take welding or FFA can be honored - not just STEM kids. In either case, A+'s matter, A's won't cut it.
My second daughter had more A+'s than regular A's and was a runner up. Imagine that.


concordtom, maybe I will start a new thread on this or something. I like to reserve the Breaking News thread for stupid links to right wing propaganda breaking news.

That's great to hear.
Kind of weird that someone that was "following" me and everyone of my posts this last year only made $10.

I guess "stalking" doesn't pay.

Passionate speech.
But there are a dozen staffers behind every one of him that hear about what he hears. Is his bill going to ban all of them from front running, too?

Congress has a thousand problems bigger than this.


He's grandstanding here, while feeding the beast elsewhere.




Tim Burchett has served in the U.S. House of Representatives since January3,2019.

CPAC gives Tim Burchett a 93% lifetime conservative rating.

According to a profile from "Republican Accountability," "voted against impeachment … and he objected to certifying the 2020 Electoral College vote."

S&P crashed 60% peak to trough (666).
Nasdaq dropped 80%, 5000 to 1000 March 2000

Are people able to fathom how it could go?

Correct.

So you're nixing the 80% and going for 90?

September 3, 1929 DJIA reached 381.17 points.

July 8, 1932, at about 41.22 points.
That's a decline of nearly 89% from the 1929 peak.





What made the 20's roar?, asks the graphic.
Andrew Ross Sorkin talks about easy credit in his book 1929. Sound familiar?

What do you think is the percentage of Muslims in DFW?

Quote:
AI Overview

The percentage of Muslims in the DFW metroplex is approximately
1%. Recent survey data shows that 8% of the DFW metro area residents identify with a religion other than Christianity, with Muslims being a part of this group.
  • Specific data: A 2025 study found that approximately 1% of DFW residents are Muslim.


Was that Instagram post a bit manipulative?

Does that poster have a political agenda?
