My local ISD fired its Superintendent for malfeasance and paid to move a woman from Georgia in as Super. She was involved in a Georgia cheating (or other issue) scandal (I don't recall the specifics) which was known. After 6 months, she was fired, given a year's severance, and paid to move back to Georgia. The person who replace her came from an ISD in SE Texas which was taken over by the state for corruption and other illegalities. He brought 2 of his cohorts with him as well as wife and girlfriend. He was terminated after 1-2 year. The person in place now, immediately hired 10-12 new admins at over 100K each. And we wonder why the ISD continues to get D's and F's in state rankings. But they have won numerous state championships in football and basketball throughout.
When I was a yut', we had to bring No. 2 pencils for our first day. Now the list includes everything under the sun to include extra for the 'migrants' who can't read the fucking list. Something is broke here. Skol!
 

🇺🇸❌ US VP Vance hits back at WSJ for misrepresenting his stance on the Ukrainian peace process​

"The fact that the WSJ twisted my words in the way they did for this story is absurd, but not surprising considering they have spent years pushing for more American sons and daughters in uniform to be unnecessarily deployed overseas," US Vice President JD Vance wrote on X.

On Thursday, the WSJ published an interview with JD Vance, with the headline that says he "wields" the threat of sanctions and military action to push Russian President Vladimir Putin into a Ukraine peace deal.

The vice president's communications director Will Martin has already called the WSJ's framing "pure fake news," posting screenshots of the article on X as evidence.

I'm beginning to think that eliminating the fraud would result in a significant surplus.


My thoughts FWIW

At first I thought they might find a Trillion.

But then I thought what Trump said about running the country on tariffs alone.

People think he says whacky shit - but he never says anything that he doesn't know is true.

At the same time he was saying eliminate the income tax.

I think that Trump knew how much waste exists and that if we eliminated it and had reciprocal tariffs we would have the following:

1. Enough money to run the government
2. You could eliminate the income tax

Can you imagine the prosperity if we got rid of the waste and the average American had another 25-30 percent of what they made back in their pocket?

It would be a golden renaissance.

Here is the thing that makes it even better for Americans.

If you run the government only on tariffs and eliminate the IRS and income taxes then Congress loses all control over business and citizens.

Why?

Most taxes are enacted only to control your behavior or the behavior of business which eliminates Adam Smith's "Invisible Hand".

For example a tax credit on EVs cause businesses like Ford to invest in EVs which has caused them to lose Billions.

A tax on certain products like "gas stoves" causes the consumer to purchase inefficient electric stoves.

Simple examples but you get the picture.

Bottom line no income tax equals greater liberty and freedom for the citizenry.

Add in a limited and much smaller federal government = less $ to operate. Skol!
