Don't be curious, do your homework, no, not like when you were a grad student at Iowa. Alzhei-jo sent slose to two hundred billion to Ukraine, while euro neighbors wrote loans. Yup, the spineless are demanding to be paid back. In his first month, your President has assured the world that Ukraine will pay back jo's incontinence with petroleum and rare earth mineral rights. Listen to your President's daily sunshine, not the fired skin head on msdnc.

Ah, bill, let’s take a break from the constant “Russia, Russia, Russia” thing you lefties have been harping on for most of a decade, sans any real evidence, and reflect back to home, and the stunning performance of the American public education system, currently hovering in between Romania, and Kazakhstan, but, at close to ten times the expenditure per pupil. Surely, an educator with your chops can rationalize for us a good excuse as to why this is the case.

Ask Brent for help if you have trouble with that.

Best,
Ted

Here is an excellent example of a school for you, oh, wait, it isn’t public. Might have something to do with it.

You are absolutely right. And once again I apologize to Tim i PA for my comments. I saw him make a comment to someone and I retaliated. So I apologize for that. Good luck to everyone.

How’s the hockey team doing?

I spent 30 years in the Intel world trying to keep Russia in it's place. Trump now doing the snuggle up makes me go nuts. As I have said before I support 95 percent of what he is doing, but Putin is no different then the little fat Dictator in North Korea. He has folks killed every day and smiles about it.

I think the 'problem' is how much the public gets to see of the decision making process. No, I'm not thinking that negotiation tidbits should be hidden away, only that it is up to us to decide if the results are favorable. Another interesting thing is that result would typically come in many months to years, but we may results starting to show within a couple of week. I suspect Putin will require something that he perceives as a win, but I doubt he desires Ukraine mineral deals with the US, and Putin may have to deal with Chinese interests. Even if Ukraine is compromised, the EU would likely insist on a viable economy and defensive capabilities?

Ted, You and I are old enough to know the cold war first hand. Trumpers can call me a commie, but I know Russia is a constant threat to America's values and way of life. You ought to know that too. Since you seem not to, it's little wonder you don't want the issue raised. P S: A central tenet of communism is that the ends justify the means; in other words, anything goes. That is Trump's belief too. No one can dispute that our federal agencies need a serious housecleaning. The Trump/ Musk approach is crazy. They're destroying our ability to function, and they're doing it with no regard to the lives they're upending. Cheer him on as you will, but what he's up to will bite you in the ass sooner or later. PSS: Ted, Yes, schools are on hard times. When our kids average more than 5 hours per day in screen time, it's hard to educate them. Some college students can't read a book today. Any text of more than a few pages is beyond their ability to focus. They didn't get that disability from their teachers. Ours is not a serious culture any more. We're being entertained to death.

You’re a hoot bill, I guess you couldn’t come up with five things you did as an educator.

You aren’t referred to as a communist because of the Cold War, it is because of the policy words that you post on these pages. You are not poked fun at as a communist, because of the Cold War, it’s because of your hypocrisy and emotional responses.

Crazy, huh?
