Texas continues to attack the education of it's kids.. Cancelling some climate issues and they want to bring back creationism ... Seven of 12 proposed science textbooks for Texas 8th graders were rejected Friday by the Republican-controlled state Board of Education because they propose solutions to the climate emergency or were published by a company with an environmental, social, and governance policy. The Texas Tribune reported that the 15-member board, which for the first time was required to include climate education for 8th graders, approved five of 12 proposed science textbooks, but called on their publishers to remove content deemed false or presenting a negative portrayal of oil and gas in the nation's biggest fossil fuel producer. *** "America's future generations don't need a leftist agenda brainwashing them in the classroom to hate oil and natural gas," said Republican state energy regulator Wayne Christian, who had urged the board to choose books that promote planet-heating fossil fuels. Some board members also objected to textbooks that did not include alternatives to the theory of evolution. One textbook was approved only after the removal of images highlighting that human beings—taxonomically classified as great apes—share ancestry with monkeys. www.rawstory.com/texas-officials-reject-textbooks-over-climate-science/ |

Another day another mass shooting. A guy in Memphis, TN decided to kill 4 women. Manhunt underway. Let’s get those thoughts and prayers going for those dead woman and their families. ABC News… ” Manhunt underway after Memphis shootings leave at least 4 dead, police say” “A manhunt was underway after a string of shootings across Memphis, Tennessee, left four women dead and one in critical condition Saturday evening, police said. Officers responded to a report of a shooting on Howard Drive at about 9:22 p.m., the Memphis Police Department said. "Through the course of the investigation, it has been determined that this scene and two other recent shooting scenes are connected and involve the same suspect," police said. Police have named 52-year-old Mavis Christian Jr. as the suspect. He was believed to have been driving a white 2017 Chevrolet Malibu, police said. "If you see him or his vehicle, please call 911 immediately," police said in a press release. "Do not approach or engage this individual, he is armed and extremely dangerous." The shootings were being investigated as a domestic violence incident, police said. This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.” x.com/abc/status/1726133626331332918?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nw |

I don't understand how this is not considered illegal. They were calling for violence and murder. Isn't what they were doing hate speech? Made my blood run cold. |

So, Rep Jared Moskowitz sent a letter to Palm County to reevaluated the taxes for MAL!! Part of the letter: "As I'm sure you are aware, your valuation of Mar-a-Lago has been cited in Judge Arthur Engoron's determination this week that former President Donald Trump and the Trump Organization committed fraud by inflating the value of their assets," wrote Moskowitz. "Between 2011 and 2021, you valued the Mar-a-Lago property between $18 million and just under $28 million." He went on to cite a tweet from Eric Trump making the claim that Mar-a-Lago was worth maybe even 100 times that amount. "Mar-a-Lago was listed as worth $490 million in financial documents given to banks. If the property value of Mar-a-Lago is so much higher than it was appraised, will you be amending the property value in line with the Trump family belief that the property is worth well over a billion dollars?" Raw Story wrote two weeks ago about the taxes being paid by Trump, citing a 2020 Palm Beach Daily News report in which Trump tried to claim the value of Mar-a-Lago was less than $26.6 million. "Tax representatives at Marvin F. Poer & Co., acting on behalf of Trump’s property ownership entities, filed petitions this year to the state-authorized Value Adjustment Board challenging the valuations assigned to Mar-a-Lago and the Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter, according to a spokeswoman for the county appraiser’s office," said the report. "The petition for the Jupiter property was subsequently withdrawn, said agency spokeswoman Becky Robinson. A virtual hearing has been scheduled Dec. 3 to consider Mar-a-Lago’s valuation, which at $26.6 million is unchanged," from the previous year. www.rawstory.com/trump-inflated-property-values/ |

Apparently the right is having a hard time understanding what the word “open” means. Also when they go on about “open” borders they continue to ignore our borders that one could say are open. No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen…. ”Greg Abbott says millions of people have been “apprehended at the border” under President Biden, which he says proves that the borders are open.” x.com/noliewithbtc/status/1726317357344436267?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nwA couple of random responses “The word open is hard for these people.” “So is the word “apprehended”.” “Umm...Republicans, What do you think 'apprehended' means?” |

He was really wandering in his Texas speech!! Stuck on "wheels and walls". ?? While speaking to a crowd in Edinburgh, Texas, on Sunday, Trump claimed that "our country is going to hell." And nobody really knows the answer because who could object to voter ID? Who could object to a wall?" he asked. "I was saying before wheels and walls. They work. Wheels and walls. Everything else gets old and tired and obsolete very quickly."Trump said mobile phones were an example of something that becomes obsolete quickly. "Everything," he continued. "But wheels and walls, they work. And we don't need the wheels, we just need the walls. And it worked. So we had the safest border in our history." www.rawstory.com/donald-trump-wheels-and-walls/ |

A perfect example of the Democrats shooting themselves in the foot. “At an elite confab in Aspen, a Democrat worried: Biden is too old and could lose — what’s the back-up plan? When Ron Klain said there was no Plan B, grumbles and disbelief rippled through the crowd. My latest w @tylerpager + @michaelscherer. washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/…“ x.com/ashleyrparker/status/1726302977760346195?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nwThis random response. “That’s because it’s not about age. It’s about his VP. They don’t want her. And we all know why.” Generated this response from me that I didn’t send. “Please be specific on why “they” don’t want VP Harris. And I would be remiss if I didn’t point out those making assumptions like “and WE all know why” often end up looking foolish.” |

Either we are a country of laws or we are not. There should not be picking and choosing what laws one will abide by. Apparently the Republicans don’t see it that way. DNC War Room… “DeSantis calls for summary executions at the border without due process: I think once you do that, there's going to be a big change in behavior. x.com/dncwarroom/status/1726979533793108364?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nw |

Wow this fits right in with DeSantis' idea to kill them at the border, proof of pro-birth. GOP proving more pro-birth by supporting drastic cuts to WIC.. Neither believing in pro-life!! Insisting they have to make tough cuts to government spending, some House Republicans are pushing to gut a decades-old federal program that helps feed 53% of all infants born in the United States, along with women through and up to six weeks after their pregnancies, breastfeeding women, and children up until the age of 5. WIC, officially the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children, is a program under the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture. The USDA notes that it is "not an entitlement program as Congress does not set aside funds to allow every eligible individual to participate in the program. WIC is a federal grant program for which Congress authorizes a specific amount of funds each year for the program." www.rawstory.com/republicans-push-to-gut-food-aid-program-that-helps-feed-half-of-all-infants-in-u-s/ |

One of the things the people in this country need to do is understand exactly what a president can and cannot do. Because until they do they will be made to look like fools by a certain political pa4ty. Case in point…. On Fox News…. Acyn… ”Chaffetz: We went to go buy a turkey today. It was $90! It’s all a choice by Joe Biden” x.com/acyn/status/1726796948097687850?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nwI’m curious what specific choice did President Biden make that caused the price of 5urkeys to go up. |

Back to the turkeys. I vaguely remember hearing about a Turkey shortage which would cause the price to rise.
So I asked my friend google…
From Real Simple..
”Why there's a turkey shortage. You can blame one of the biggest outbreaks of avian flu this year for the smaller supply of turkeys available. More than 47 million birds (including turkeys and chickens) died or were culled to help reduce the spread.“
So exactly how is President Biden responsible for an outbreak of avian flu?
I did check the cost of turkeys at Safeway. A 20-24 Butterball Turkey is $44.
So I’m wondering how big of a turkey the idiot got that cost $90 if it really did.

I’m not going to read the article but there are cheaper options. I paid less than 8 for my turkey in California and that didn’t include any conditions to buy a certain amount of food to go with it. He went out of his way to spend that much on a turkey. Butterballs are .99 at most stores and then there are other cheaper brands. Fresh, organic or bought from a local farmer will be more. |

"On average, Americans can expect to pay $35.40 for a 15-pound turkey this year — an average of $2.36 per pound," reported FinanceBuzz. The site showed the most expensive turkey costs were in Hawaii, where transportation increase prices. Even there, It tops out at under $56. *** Maybe he ordered a full meal, but that doesn't ever cost that much!! |

But they have been that expensive even years ago at those stores. I remember seeing them at $80 years ago. If someone is used to shopping they know this and also know that they have been less this year than last year. You wait for the same but if you wait too long and have to buy fresh they are $$$ always have been. |

I’m on several bargain and frugal groups and their prices have been better than here in California but we are no where near that price. Are the prices from over a month ago before they dropped the price like they always do. That sounds like an off season price. |
