Are are American students struggling with math?

Trump gave up too much by meeting with Kim.

Gas prices were going up under the Orange Oaf because of a lack of capital investment worldwide.

You're blaming Old Joe for covid inflation? Are you gaslighting the forum?

There was Putin's war in the eastern Ukraine.

Better than Old Joe, but not even close to solving the problem. But Trump helped create conditions for a socialist, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, to take over the government in Mexico and that's made the border situation worse.

The balloon?

A big nothing. He made nice with countries he forced to choose sides in the Gulf and shamelessly bribed Morocco.

"Safe" under a Trump coup?

You're ignoring his failures, including making the income distribution problem worse in this country with his 2017 tax cut. He also added $500b to the annual deficit.

He repeated and shameless lies counted in the many thousands, January 6, and his other efforts to undermine the 2020 election.

 

That he was. A truly nasty piece of work.

 

That actually happens, same with junior high math. A lot of elementary school teachers do a terrible job of teaching math.

 

Tell us what Trump gave up meeting with Kim please. Trump got a firm commitment from Kim to end nuclear weapon testing and ICBM missile testing and he lived up to it until Trump left office and Biden took over. It didn't cost the US a dime. Unlike other such talks, the US didn't pay North Korea a dime when Trump got results. So what the heck are you talking about? Please be specific.

Gass prices went up under Biden because of things HE DID... not market forces. Biden increased taxes ("royalties") on oil from wells on federal lands, decreased drilling licenses for federal lands, cancelled pipelines, and discouraged fracking. THES ACTIONS BY BIDEN INCREASED FUEL PRICES TO THE AMERICAN CONSUMER.

Inflation may have been influenced by the NOW GONE China Virus fiasco, but when Biden caused fuel prices to skyrocket as noted above, he caused every product requiring oil (as in ALL plastics) to increase and everything that needed to be transported to market to go up. Biden's war on oil was, and remains, the major cause of inflation.

The US was not involved in Putin's wars until he started sending endless billions of dollars of military equipment to Ukraine.

Please explain how Trump laid the foundation for the current Mexican Government (Re: Your comment about Obrador). Gees, you'll be blaming Trump for sunspots and polio next.

Yes... the balloon. The GUIDED balloon that hovered over numerous US military bases getting intelligence... ELINT, SIGINT and imagery. You obviously have no idea what electronic data gathering equipment can be carried by such a "balloon". You obviously think balloons are only for birthday parties. Very ignorant.

You obviously don't realize the significance of the Abraham Accords. Please educate yourself. And can you provide some PROOF that Trump bribed Morocco to do something (what the heck was Morocco capable of doing?).

You obviously have no idea what a "coup" actually is. The occupation of one building for a few hours can hardly take over a nation. A "coup" would require the control of transportation centers and communication centers coast to coast. It would require thousands of organized, armed people taking control of military bases, police facilities and local government.... coast to coast. Teams of people standing by to step in as new state governments, agencies, and infrastructure leaders would be required. A few disorganized, unarmed protesters occupying ONE BUILDING for a few hours has as much to do with a coup as a game of GO FISH has to do with the Olympics.

Trump's tax cuts were for EVERYONE. He cut EVERY TAX BRACKET... and included stuff like making interest payments on college loans deductible. You think THAT was only for the rich? Time look at FACTS... not just left wing propaganda.

Trump added to the deficit, true. But its the DEBT that kills America. And Biden has added a lot more to the DEBT.

You talk about Trump "lies". But you never mention any specifics. Methinks you have no specifics... just vague... vague insults and accusations... too vague to have any credence.

By the way, your uncontrolled emotion, hate, bias, and immaturity are clearly communicated when you use phrases like "Orange Oaf". Your lack of objectivity wrecks your credibility. HINT: Adults don't talk like that in a rational discussion.

 

Nope. It’s called single parent homes. Go check where the biggest education gaps are. You shouldn’t be surprised. But I’m sure you’ll ignore it or deny it or call math racist.

 

Back in 2000 I was living in San Diego. The State of California contacted me saying they had lots of history, English, art, and music teachers but had a severe shortage of math and science teachers. They wanted me to teach high school Physics. I had no teaching credentials at all, just a BSEE and an MBA. They sounded pretty desperate. The aerospace company I was working for was having problems so I gave it a go. Good experience for awhile and certainly fun, but lousy pay, so I went back to industry.

 

Kim has to stop threatening us. Then he gets a meeting--maybe.

None of that would impact prices to near the extent of the increase in world oil prices.

Fact not in evidence.

No, not the major cause.

It's in our geopolitical interest to stop Putin from threatening his neighbors and our trading partners.

He created the anti-U.S. vote that helped elect Obrador.

They decided not to shoot it down. You and I don't have enough information to know if letting it go was a good idea.

Helping legitimize the Trump operation. Trump endorsed their claim to the Western Sahara region.

It was the attempt to delay the proceedings and toss the election into the House.

You really don't want to debate an economist over the long-term impact of the tax cuts that expire for lower income groups.

We should be putting a temporary surtax on capital gains to take money out of the system. Biden is as much captive of Big Money as Trump.

Pick your topic...

https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/fact-checker-most-repeated-disinformation/

You have difficulty with basic manners.

That being ... see above.

 

Yep. Lousy pay.

 

GOOD PAY FOR A TEACHER THOUGH...

 

Ok. What do you suggest we do about single parent homes?

 

If the deal trump cut with NK ended when trump left office, he really never cut a deal for the USA.
That's not how deal's work.

 

Are are American students struggling with math?

Why not? I sure struggled with it as a student.

 

Good pay for an incompetent teacher.

 

You probably had lousy teachers.

 

Black leaders need to speak up for "THEIR" people and tell them to all keep it in their pants, perhaps? Ditch the red hair, long nails, ghetto culture, gang culture, violence, rims, wheels, obnoxious ink, moronic names, victim mentality, low IQ vernacular, ATTITUDE, AGGRESIVE behaviors, every chip on their shoulder and START preaching education, self reliance, responsibility, the benefits of marriage and the family unit. Ditch NEGATIVE black culture and embrace what Jews and Asians do so well. You know, culture that breeds success? Its no accident why things are what they are.

But WE really can't do anything. Each individual has to turn themselves into constructive members of society. When someone accuses them of acting white, which is stupid, its not an insult. Or at least it shouldn't be. There should be NO DIFFERENCE. Its called acting responsible.

 

You act like people who identify as part of a culture can change that culture. Why haven't white people ended white racism? What's your plan for that? White racism has hurt blacks, but also Latinos and Asians.

Sure, you can if you think people can control their culture, you can help the situation by taking charge of your own culture.

You think blacks have to act like white people? Have you thought this through? Why can't they act like responsible black people, or simply, responsible people?

 

Eventually, those culture wars will get into that school district as it has in our "well-to-do" school districts. Somehow, "Moms for Liberty" are pretty much targeting all suburban school districts here in one form or fashion. Where I live, our biggest problem is the fentanyl overdoses by young students, usually middle school. They are taking Tylenol or other over the counter drugs by asking a friend at school. That drug is somehow laced or spiked with fentanyl. And they overdose. We have had 5 deaths so far this year alone. We have increased education with both parents and kids, and have arrested a couple of people who were involved in distributing the stuff. But it is still there and still in circulation some how.

 

Why do you think it is this way?

Why do you think “black culture” the way it is?

 

Govt dependence, victim complex, Democrats breeding generational stupidity to keep them voting D for as many freebies as they can get. The LAST thing Dems want are self sufficient non dependent voters.

Obviously there are black republicans and they live a very different culture from minority Leftists.

If Dems told the truth they would lose that voting block so obviously lie, scheme and lie some more.

 

I didn’t make up the whole acting white thing. They did as an insult, which is strange.

And ONLY they can change culture that is destroying them. They just have to recognize how debilitating it is and black leaders should be leading the charge. But they would rather bait and lie and spread the victim complex. FEAR!!! Fear keeps people voting.

 

Those who are fond of math realize that one can earn far more as an engineer or a CPA than one can by trying to explain fractions, set theory and fractions to a room filled with 30 children. Math majors are good with numbers, especially when they follow a $. Teachers like Jaime Escalante (in the film Stand and deliver) do exist, but there are far to few of them.

 

Modify tax laws for one. A single parent can now claim one and a half times the deduction for a child and they would be able to claim if the father was present. If the father is present you probably have more income... which means less or no welfare. If its a single parent family you are more likely to get more food stamps, Medicaid and welfare. You get more welfare if dad isn't around. And all this is without working... if you have a child around.

The system actually INCENTIVIZES families to be single parent.

 

Well... it WAS San Diego....

 

Maybe. I think a lot of wealthy communities are prepared to deal with "Moms for Liberty" and any other activist group that tries to take over the school board.

I don't know about your community, but Palos Verdes is filled with highly educated folks. There's no way they're interested in MAGA politics.

Sounds like you need a better drug education program.

 

The only way we're going to end the racism is when blacks can move in and out of the larger culture without being stigmatized or judged based on race. You made some heavy generalizations about black people based nothing more than assumption they identify with and are influenced by a black subculture you describe.
