The Real Problem in Schools – a High School Teacher’s Perspective

By |2018-02-20T15:54:28+00:00February 20th, 2018|Opinion|

Six of HS students in class today, during the silent moments of meditation for the murdered and injured students in Florida, TALKED through the entire time frame! You think an inanimate object is the problem?! Culture is the problem!!! Our music celebrates drugs, mayhem, rape, murder,  and gangs. Our movies make millions off stories and scenes cameoing crime, gun fights, and murder!  We teach children they can do no wrong then bash the law and order and teach them to hate authority!!! Our society created this!!!

The Electoral College, An Explanation

By |2018-02-05T18:02:36+00:00February 5th, 2018|2016, Clinton, Trump|

In their infinite wisdom, the United States founders created the Electoral College to ensure the STATES were fairly represented. Why should one or two densely populated areas speak for the whole of the nation?

The following list of statistics has been making the rounds on the Internet. It should finally put an end to the argument as to why the Electoral College makes sense.

There are 3,141 counties in the United States.

Trump won 3,084 of them.

Clinton won 57.

There are 62 counties in New York State.

Trump won 46 of them.

Clinton won 16.

Clinton won the popular vote by approx. 1.5 million votes.

In the 5 counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond & Queens) Clinton received well

over 2 million more votes than Trump. (Clinton only won 4 of these counties; Trump won Richmond)

Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the entire country.

These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles.

The United States is comprised of 3,797,000 square miles.

When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it would be ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of those who inhabit a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national election.

Large, densely populated cities (NYC, Chicago, LA, etc) DO NOT and SHOULD NOT speak for the rest of our country!

Democrats and Republicans (Different Only In Name)

We read all the jokes and forward the good ones 
but I just wonder who will pass this one on.

How about you sending it on, and back to me, 
if you have enough ‘chutzpah’ to do so.

I do.

And I wonder just how many I will get back?

Someone please tell me what the HELL’s wrong with

All the people that run this country!!!!!! 

Both Democrats and Republicans

Say,

“We’re broke” 
And can’t help our own
Seniors,
Veterans,
Orphans,
Homeless,
Etc.,?????
But, over the last several years THEY
have provided direct cash aid to….
Hamas – $351 M,
Libya $1.45 B,
Egypt – $397 M,
Mexico – $622 M,
Russia – $380 M,
Haiti – $1.4 B,
Jordan – $463 M,
Kenya – $816 M,
Sudan – $870 M,
Nigeria – $456 M,
Uganda – $451 M,
Congo – $359 M,
Ethiopia – $981 M,
Pakistan – $2 B,
South Africa – $566 M,
Senegal – $698 M,
Mozambique – $404 M,
Zambia – $331 M,
Kazakhstan – $304 M,
Iraq – $1.08 B,
Tanzania – $554 M,
…with literally Billions of Dollars 
and they still hate us!!!! 
But on the other hand, 
Our retired seniors,
Living on a ‘fixed income,’
Receive NO aid! 
Nor do they get any breaks, while our government 
And religious organizations will pour 
Hundreds of Billions Of $$$$$$’s
and Tons of Food to Foreign Countries!

Someone needs to explain to them that
Charity begins AT HOME!!!
And another atrocity….
We have Hundreds of adoptable 
American Children who are shoved aside
To make room for
The adoption of
Foreign orphans.
AMERICA: A country where we have
Countless Homeless without shelter, 
Children going to bed hungry, 
Elderly going without needed medication 
and the Mentally ill without treatment — etc.
YET……….
They will have a ‘Benefit’ Show
For the people of Haiti, on 12 TV Stations;
Ships and planes lining up with food, water, tents 
clothes, bedding, doctors and medical supplies. 
Now Just Imagine if 
Our own *GOVERNMENT*
Gave ‘US’ the same support they give to foreign countries. 
Sad, isn’t it?
