A little historical perspective

https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/11/newt-gingrich-says-youre-welcome/570832/

Reading this, it struck me again how often it is the most privileged people, the most sheltered from what is reality for millions, who love to tell you sternly what "nature" is like and pontificate endlessly on their deep grasp of reality.

Seems like Bambi wanted to treat the most recent post by Oilcan as a prompt.

Her husband's appalling, racist shit show of a family, who in a just world even had they managed to escape beheading in the 18th century should have at least been tossed onto the trash heap of history at the close of the Great War with the rest of the Czars, Kaiser and Emperors, have made her life with them a nightmare and made her persona non grata at any public display of their awfulness.

I too once met a girl in Central Park, but it is not much to remember. What I remember is the time John Wayne killed three men with a carbine as he was falling to the dusty street in Stagecoach, and the time the kitten found Orson Welles in the doorway in The Third Man.

Just because your inlaws happen to be fucktards does not mean you have to endorse them by showing up every time they have some silly event.

Luckily they have the King they do, bambuKing would've stripped their titles and waved them goodbye ... permanently.

Wise women advising men on Youtube are telling them to be prepared to walk from relationships if their rules/boundaries are broken...and to declare these boundaries very clearly.
. No continuing to be out clubbing with girlfriends like a single woman on the prowl.
. No contacting exes.
. No discussing bedroom/relationship/family life with anyone.
. No cheating.
. No lying of any kind...including about the cost of dresses, shoes etc.
. No excessive spending.
. No screaming at partner. No abusing him or any staff.
. No disclosing family finances to anyone.
. Honesty only allowed.
. No bad language in public.

In its latest course catalog, Evanston Township High School (Chicago)
offered two AP calculus classes for racial affinity groups. The first was restricted to students who identify as Latinx.The second was open only to students who identify as black.

The Wall Street Journal reports a 2017 Equity Report for the school district said the District leadership team attributes the racial predictability of achievement and disciplinary outcomes to institutional racism.
According to data from Wirepoints, a Chicago think tank, 32% of 8th grade students are reading at grade level, while 100% of district teachers are rated as excellent or proficient on the Illinois Report Card from the state Board of Education.

So the teachers are great but the students are still failures?
As the WSJ concluded
Who would have thought that, nearly 70 years after SCOTUS unanimously outlawed school segregation progressives would endorse separate but equalto cover for educational failure?

If you had ever passed math or reading you would have made a better post. Instead you fall under the soft bigotry of low expectations.

We have 16 Million vacant houses in the USA where the refugees and homeless can live.

https://www.nar.realtor/magazine/real-estate-news/16-million-homes-vacant-in-us

If you fill the homes full of beds then you can house many people, you can put 2 beds in each bedroom and you can get a lot of people into housing.

And we need to make our immigrants legal, so they can call the police in the case of an emergency, and so that they can join Labor Unions, etc.

We also need to set up classes to teach the refugees how to speak English, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.
