• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

I think the teachers may be more brainwashed than the students. They are indoctrinated into self-importance, laziness, and general lack of understanding as to anything outside their bubble. It is possible re-educating the educators is more important than the students.
BING-FVCKIN’-GO! I’ve had to “real world” educate my kids so often over the years when I find out what they’ve been taught. I’ve also become a history and current events professor because they are teaching any meaningful history, get wrong what they do teach, and try to social justice everything in US history to current warped standards. It’s infuriating. And I live in the conservative Great Plains.
 
I called this so bad on a lib buddy of mine. Syria will become a war and wasn't even on a reuters ticker the last 2 years of Trump. I don't know what is so important about Syria to these asshole but they are determined to kick out a guy who got over 80% of the vote and allows christians and jews to live there peacefully.... oh wait... so they want to destabilize a moderate democracy in the ME so that a militant jihad government can rattle the sabre... Well that would benefit the MIC.
Look at Syria on a map, then overlay natural gas and oil shipping and pipeline routes in the region. Almost like Syria is the KEYSTONE to the region and the outside world.
 

My fourth grader has been learning about naturals resources, renewable energy and specifically water resources in science. Yesterday he was telling me how you can use renewable energy to supply water to everybody. I had to break it to him that I design water plants and solar systems for them and that for most water plants you can fill up every single available square foot of grass, parking, building and tank area and get about 10% of the power you need to operate the plant. He’s the type to go right back and tell his teacher what I said so I’m looking forward to hearing about it this afternoon.

This is the world we live in. You can’t hide your kids from it, you just have to give them actual facts and teach them to think for themselves.

If teachers were required to teach year round while the kids were able to pick and choose when they had to fullfill their 9 months during the year, I think you would eliminate some of this liberal trash. Teachers would be allowed a 2 week vacation period.
 

These people have gotten used to being paid and not having to work. They also like the Socialibdems will refund their pensions---only to become a full piggy bank the authorities will spend again---just like Social Security.

It's obscene that all those resisting returning to normalcy have been on the payroll with veto power over those wanting to go back to normalcy.
 
Sigh. Trump doesn't learn, just like him endorsing the 2 anti-Trump idiots in Georgia. McConnell's people must be advising him.

The swampy republicans, once again, know they can’t win their elections without Trump’s endorsement. So they will talk to him and pretend to fall in line and pledge loyalty. Then Trump endorses, then Republican wins his or her race, then they backstab Trump and his supporters that voted for them the second they get in office.

I remember being in 3rd grade (or something) and seeing a little solar cell science kit at Radio Shack. I had the brilliant idea that solar power could be self-perpetuating, told my Dad (an EE/Math major and lawyer), and asked if I could buy the kit. He chuckled the same way I have done as a father when my kids are about to learn a lesson. We bought the kit, took it home, wired it to a leftover light fixture from when my parents built the house, triggered the solar cell with a strong flashlight, aaaaaaaand . . . nothing.

Me: ☹️
Dad: 🤣😉 “There are no magical perpetual machines in this world, son. Oh, and nothing’s easy.”
