Democrats' Leadership Void | Declining American Education | Trump Holds Zelensky Accountable | US Politics - February 2025
The American educational system has fallen dramatically in rankings among developed countries, despite spending the most money per student. So, it’s no surprise that unions are thriving—70% of U.S. teachers are unionized, making them lifetime employees and one of the largest contributors to the Democratic Party. But are the unions really focused on the kids or themselves? If you want to know more about teachers' unions, here are the top 15 , a state-by-state comparison , and some statistics about teachers. Meanwhile, the unions continue to profit from teachers' contributions.
When all else fails, perhaps they should start a new class— blue unhappiness. Maybe that would shed some light on common sense. Or take Judith Butler —her book is a blessing for certain audiences (you may need to hit the translate button). Here’s the link to the book.
This is a book that must be read by those with children. It discusses the missteps in sex education—where even daycare children are "enlightened" in ways that might surprise parents. Though edited by a professor of education and published by an academic press, it is still quite readable. But the content itself is what is truly shocking.
Members of the California Teachers Association, the nation’s largest state-affiliated teachers' union, pay $768 in dues, not including national fees.
The next generation of Democratic leaders? The answer seems to be no one (Google it). There are plenty of personalities cruising on The View or other liberal media, but beyond criticism, there's little substance. Some have suggested Jasmine Crockett , but she’s just another litigator pushing a thesis until someone catches on—or she’s left alone in the room. She even shed crocodile tears for Sleepy Joe. Or perhaps Ayanna Pressley , another staunch advocate for "democracy."
Crockett completed law school, passed the bar examination in 2006, and later became a public defender in Bowie County, Texas. She then formed a law firm handling car accident lawsuits and pro bono cases for Black Lives Matter activists.
What else would you call cartel gangs but terrorists? They engage in violence and intimidation, attempting to control regions—just like Pablo Escobar tried in Colombia. It starts small and grows if left unchecked. Is this so hard to understand, even from a humanitarian perspective? This is why military intervention is justified.
Six Mexican drug cartels have been formally designated as foreign terrorist organizations, along with Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua and the nearly extinct Mara Salvatrucha from El Salvador. They join about 60 Islamic militant groups such as al-Qaeda and Hamas that primarily operate in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
Someone tries to stop a war diplomatically , and they are crucified for it. Perhaps the choice of words wasn’t ideal—calling Zelensky a dictator—but he refused to hold elections under martial law, knowing he had a good chance of losing. It’s unbelievable how senators and TV pundits justify this war. Russia’s invasion was supposedly to stop NATO’s aggression, while Biden and Zelensky’s "special" relationship played its role. Zelensky projects an image of heroism—"I brought Ukraine into NATO and the EU"—but has displayed zero diplomacy.
