A report out of Florida shows many people who have never been tested for COVID-19 are receiving phone calls claiming they’ve tested positive. Huh? How many other cities and states are pulling this stunt? It makes one wonder just how many people in this country really do have COVID-19. And how many have actually died of it and not by some other underlying health problem instead. Why are they fraudulently inflating the COVID-19 numbers and how long has this been going on? less
I'm glad they have been removed. They need to continue to weed out these people and replace them with someone that actually cares about this country and its citizens.

The average taxpayer already pays too much so they shouldn't be forced to fund this person's opulent lifestyle. Also, if this federal employee you speak of is the president of the TVA, there is a bipartisan drive to give him a substantial pay cut.

The Detroit City police chief welcomes the help. Why does he welcome the help? For one, the police force has been cut "40 percent" over the last decade so the response time to emergency calls is 5 times higher than the national average. Another, reason why the Police Chief welcomes Federal help is that Detroit has been the victim of a half-century of one-party "progressive" rule. Specifically, it has been the victim of 50 years of irresponsible, ineffective, and dangerous Democratic Party governance. And the violence in the city reflects that. The police force being cut by 40 percent is already bad enough. I would hate to think what would happen if our Democrat Governor follows through with her asinine idea to defund the police completely. Anarchy for one. less

Not everything is Obama's fault but much of what you see happening today is. Much to the dismay of the Democrats. But they compensate for that by blaming Trump for their own mistakes.

Though she didn't absolutely forbid going out in public without a mask, she "strongly suggested" that we do wear one. The thing is, the area I live in, there's no need for it. Not to mention the fact that the local, city, and county police won't be enforcing this "suggestion". They simply don't have the manpower nor the resources to do it. And she wants to defund the police as well. The bottom line for us here is that our governor is simply out of touch with the citizens with no indication that she wants to or will change that situation. The mayor of our city is also a Democrat so that is two strikes against us already. less

Actually no, policing was not created to protect white people. The first publicly funded, organized police force with officers on duty full-time was created in Boston in 1838. Boston was a large shipping commercial center, and businesses had been hiring people to protect their property and safeguard the transport of goods from the port of Boston to other places. These merchants came up with a way to save money by transferring the cost of maintaining a police force to citizens by arguing that it was for the “collective good.” In the Democrat-controlled South, however, the economics that drove the creation of police forces were centered not on the protection of shipping interests but on the preservation of the slavery system. Some of the primary policing institutions there were the slave patrols tasked with chasing down runaways and preventing slave revolts. During the Civil War, the military became the primary form of law enforcement in the Sou... less

I have no problem with that. What I do have a problem with is that the SCOTUS did and has been overstepping its bounds. For over two centuries, The Constitution of the United States has provided the ultimate definition of the rights and freedoms of the nation’s citizens. Concurrently, the Supreme Court has served as the ultimate interpreter of The Constitution. The task of the Supreme Court is not to rule on guilt or innocence, rather it is to "determine whether the decisions of lower courts are consistent with, or in violation of, the rights and guarantees defined by the Constitution". That no longer appears to be the case. Although the Constitution continues to provide the aforementioned ultimate definition, that has become a moot point; the nine justices charged with interpreting the Constitution now apparently see th... less

I asked her how do you determine whether or not their kids are being properly taught. My daughter is quite intelligent and knowledgable so I have no concerns there. I was just curious. When I went through the public school system, the students were taught correctly by very knowledgable teachers. We actually learned! :) There were no issues then but today is a whole new ballgame.

Early in our nation's history, lawmakers passed the 10th Amendment to the Constitution which is the basis for making education a "function of the states".

Simply put, politicians engage in negative attacks because they work. It's been that way since politics began. I would ask though, why do certain citizens (We The People) spend 24/7 insulting and attacking the opposition? Because they work? Or do the attacks by citizens differ from a politician's attacks?
