I would suppose that foreign language instruction should be done by native foreign language speakers, which means Mexicans and Chinese to name just 2.

My understanding is NK has a mutual defense treaty with with Russia. As part of that treaty, when Russia was invaded, Kursk offensive, NK responded to that, and only that. NK did not take part in the Special Military Operation in the Ukraine, the proxy war.

Once America was destroyed you could expect slaves to just walk off, without a standing army of slave catchers there would be nothing to stop the slaves.

“Reveling in the endless sense of possibility enshrined by Jack Kerouac, we have been allowed to wander the city streets and highways of our vast country with little fear of encountering the checkpoints and random searches characteristic of other nations, not all of them officially authoritarian. ” Turns out, there is more to the story.

On the road by Kerouac is a work of fiction ‘based’ on true events. The main character is based on an actual person Neil Cassidy. Cassidy was married to Carolyn Cassidy who eventual wrote an autobiography (non fiction) which clarified the back story to ‘On The Road’. In particular Neil Cassidy was gainfully employed as a railroad worker until he was arrested for cannibus possession. The conviction meant he could not work in the railroad. He went from a highly paid industrial worker to unemployed bum overnight. He was soon divorced, and became inspiration for the homeless, ‘van life’, wander of the ‘On The Road’ story.

Opinion | Zionism Wasn’t Always Racist. The Trouble Began When Russians Took Over
Zionism wasn’t born as a racist-colonialist movement. Its disastrous turning point occurred when it was taken over by Russian revolutionaries

May 9, 2025

In February 2022, after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, IDF Maj. Gen. (res.) Gershon Hacohen took part in a panel discussion about the event on Israel’s Kan Television. In contrast to the line then dominant in the media, Hacohen voiced a forcefully pro-Russian stance. Kyiv, he pointed out, was the cradle of Russian civilization, adding that international borders were not sacred and that President Vladimir Putin’s rule was legitimate in the eyes of the Russian people .

No less provocative was the historical case on which he grounded his support for Russia. “Israel was built by Russian Jews, like my grandfather, who came from those regions,” Hacohen said. “It’s a toughness that brought us [David] Ben-Gurion, among others… The Mapai experience was not enlightened and not liberal,” he said, referring to Ben-Gurion’s ruling party, forerunner of Labor. Just like Putin, he said, “Ben-Gurion thought about constant expansion in the region, because the coastal strip of Tel Aviv is only a gateway into the Land of Israel.” …

“Trump Concocted the ‘Tariffs Hoax’ to ‘Decouple’ with China”

No. The USA needs to raise taxes fast and by a lot, and payroll tax rates probably can’t be increased much more than they are now. Property tax may be maxed out too, and is already pledged to states.

At a combined 15%+ payroll taxes are probably at their maximum possible.

https://files.taxfoundation.org/legacy/docs/soc_security_rates_1937-2009-20090504.pdf

Tariffs, like payroll taxes, do not fall on the rich as much as the poors and are easily avoided by the rich. The anti Chinese rhetoric, maybe Trump remembers anti Japanese rhetoric from the 70s.

Economist Gary, of @garyseconomics, thinks the only solution is taxes on the rich, that may be the only end point but the path will be attempting to tax everything other than rich people.

‘He’ll stiff you’: Senator warns federal workers Trump’s ‘buyout’ offer is bogus

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) has an urgent warning for federal workers considering President Donald Trump’s buyout offer: it’s bogus.

According to CBS News Capitol Hill correspondent Alan He, Kaine issued his warning on the Senate floor on Tuesday, following reports of the buyout proposal. “The President has no authority to make that offer,” said Kaine. “There’s no budget line item to pay people who are not showing up for work … If you accept that offer and resign, he’ll stiff you.”

Trump has been accused of not paying workers what he promised, dating back to his days when private contractors said he ripped them off, and even attorneys he hired who said he stiffed them for legal services.

The buyout offer, which reportedly extends to every worker in the entire federal civil service, does not appear to actually entitle government employees to a compensation package without work; rather, it lets them take a “deferred resignation,” where they can remain in their job for up to 8 months and be exempt from Trump’s new executive order mandating federal employees return to full-time in-office work.

The Pacific Palisades is a mountainous forested area up against the ocean. The mountainous areas allowed the wind to speed up but once the wind hit the ocean there was little drag air resistance leading to very high winds. Inland, like Altadena, the wind has to travel entirely across rugged land which slows it down.

The LAFD also has probably done some on the job learning, so their response will be better rehearsed. It was bad luck that the fire started off in Pacific Palisades forcing an unpracticed FD to deal with high winds and a rugged area.

The properties in most danger were at the edge of LA, up against natural areas. Those properties have either burned or are better prepared.

So I say the fires are now being controlled.

Wasn’t VP Harris formerly a prosecutor. She must have had at least decent debating skills. She has run successfully for various positions from DA to Senator, although California does not have senatorial elections by party, so Harris, a Democrat, ran against an other Democrat, if I understand it right.

Her performance during the Democrat 2020 presidential primary was poor, but that primary was rigged and she probably knew it. As VP she, likely, had strict orders not to present herself as an attractive alternative to Biden.

Her biggest problem will be explaining why she is not trusted by her colleagues to replace the incapacitated Pres Biden.

Why is West Virginia is permitting New York State to harass West Virginia organizations?

Biden’s formative years were spent watching early 20th century Hollywood depictions of the world, which were later reinforced by re-runs on TV.

This has been going on for generations, and the media have variously engaged in cover-ups, lies, and misdirection for generations. In recent years, the nycpd and the msm have even issued blacks free murders for such attacks.

In my experience going back to circa 1990 a stare-down by a black was the prelude to a sucker-punch and worse. I rarely got the “worse,” because I would stare back. (In 1995, a young black career criminal broke my beautiful nose. I maced him in both eyes.) Sucker-punch bi–hes rarely want to deal with someone of any size who confronts them.

Circa 1991, new york newsday (1985-1995, $100 million in losses) published an essay by a liberal White lady about a female “friend.”

A “man” stared at her “friend” from the opposite end of the subway car she was in. She responded by looking away. And so, when she got off, he snuck up on her, and bashed her head into a steel pillar on the platform. (I suspect the lady was writing about herself.)

How many Whites has such dishonesty gotten robbed, raped, maimed and murdered, before they were able to wise up?

I wrote an essay under my own name in response, but nyn, where I was an occasional contributor, rejected it. Eventually, I published it in 1993, in my magazine, A Different Drummer.

Around the same time (1991) the new york times began its city section, and ran its own phony stare-down “thing.”

A hulking young man is standing on a packed train, seemingly staring at people. But fearing him would have been wrong, because he was mentally retarded.

What gave away the scam, was that the young man was chinese. Nobody in new york was afraid of being attacked by a chinese on a packed subway train.

I don’t recall the rag’s censors publishing any letters criticizing their dishonesty.

In retrospect, it is the thing he was often mocked for (SNL skits), but in retrospect took great courage.

Maybe one of the regrets of a declining empire is infrastructure failure.

Another current fiasco is the Washington Bridge in Providence RI.

The Fern Hollow Bridge in Pittsburg PA collapsed and was rebuilt in 2023.

It is also interesting that all these failures occurred near major engineering universities. Ivy League Brown, Johns Hopkins, and Carnegie Mellon, so the problem is not a lack of IQ points.

After WWII stuff like HVAC and Information Systems become prominent in architecture. And don’t forget the need for parking. Being able to run phone then data lines and air ducts becomes the most important interior design requirement, which kind of leads to drop ceilings. Employees and customers demand convenient toilets everywhere. Fire codes require access to spacious stairways and exits everywhere. Put that together and you end up with rectangular buildings, or at least polygons.

Domed ceilings were, in part, a solution to interior lighting pre-electrification.

K-12, college blah blah blah,… education. Back when education was k-6 or less, apprentice artisans had time to develop their stone mason skills and then have a long work life.

The mass production of aerosol spray cans after WWII made the mass production graffiti practical. Buildings needed easier to maintain exteriors.

Public school has replaced cathedrals and all other government buildings as public architecture. What’s the fixation on city hall, which is destined to be replaced by online zoom calls?

And then there is the need for parking.
