There are nuances that are never taught like Nixon sweeping and the liberal narrative not even speaking on it, only watergate.
MLK being an adulterer
Midway being the turning point of the pacific when it really was Guadalcanal.
The American German population before WWI.
Now I hate the resurgence of we shouldn’t have dropped the bomb. Absolute lunacy.
Understanding who Willis “Ching” Lee was
I think how close we came to nuclear war during the Cuban missile crisis is glossed over.
Required reading: Blind Man’s Bluff, Empire of the Summer Moon, (understand what) The Gulag Archipelago (was about, it’s a bitch of a read but needed)
There are a ton of perspectives that we should take into account that are shunned these days.
Flipping George Washington lived a very interesting life before the revolution for crying out loud.
Of course, there is never enough time to learn perspective.
I think history is a bastard if what it should be in school. I think too many English classes are required when History is overlooked. Proper grammar is important, but Beawulf is not. You can mix actual history with proper English dialect to complete the story.
The education curriculum is a disaster currently. We teach to tests, not actual interests.

I’m ok with bills being presidents or founding fathers

Question: Do we know when the “special prosecutor” was appointed? And by whom?
Judge Leon Roche of the Orleans Parish Criminal District Court Probably June 30th…late June.
I’m not saying if it was proper procedure, but going criminal seems extremely excessive versus going to a civil court over this.
quote:
You’re leaving out some important context. The who was elected was wrongfully convicted and spent years educating himself and becoming a jailhouse lawyer, very good story any non-mouthbreathing troglodyte should celebrate. However, Duncan had the nerve to call out the state, specifically Murrill, over it.
You’re allowed to say that, right or wrong.
However, the Louisiana governorship is one of the most powerful governorships in the nation.
Levers of power matter, and what Jeff did, whether you like it or not, was completely legal under Louisiana law.
The legislature was completely in their power to remove the office. It doesn’t matter if New Orleans elected someone to that office beforehand.
I will say New Orleans DA Williams was very smart to recuse himself from this mess.
Now we get to watch the supremacy clause go into action. New Orleans decided to pick a fight with a strong governor, and by strong I mean his office’s legal powers under the Louisiana constitution.
Jimbeaux is correct that this office was responsible for election machines, qualifying, ect.
What’s idiotic, the new clerk’s office (which New Orleans voters voted into office) the former civil clerk (now Orleans parish clerk of court) is still over elections, still accountable to voters of Orleans parish.
I mean, I don’t get why New Orleans is going apoplectic over it. The responsibilities are still under a New Orleans elected official.

They eliminated the Clerk of Criminal District Court
I believe, I’m not 100%, every other parish in Louisiana just has a clerk of court. New Orleans had two, criminal and civil clerks.
It’s insanity that this has escalated. Local New Orleans officials jumped the shark over something so idiotic. Even the Louisiana Supreme Court upheld that the legislature had the power to merge the clerk offices.
Idiotic New Orleans is saying “will of the people elected this guy” so he needs to be seated in his office. When, the “will of the people” via the state legislature, of which, New Orleans is a part of, passed a law eliminating that office.

New Orleans elects a guy in November
State legislature eliminates that office
New Orleans officials want the seat filled
State AG lists the consequences to filling the seat against the legislature’s law
City officials think being held accountable is racists
New Orleans DA recuses himself as they want the grand jury to indict state ag. Special prosecutor appointed
Grand jury indicts AG
Special prosecutor issues arrest warrant
State Supreme Court issues stay on indictment
Special prosecutor keeps arrest warrant active
State supreme court says “really dumbass?” And issues another order (we are here)

Let’s be fair, it’s been rising since coming off the gold standard. Wages just haven’t kept up. Now a guy making more than his father could potentially be saving less as costs have always increased yet salaries trickles up.

We have a cf moto and only bought it to keep costs down. It came with a roof and winch. It does everything we ask on the farm.
The rear axle broke but I think that was more my mother-in-law driving around on H gear in the pasture and not dropping it down into L. It didn’t take but 4 days to get the part in.
It’s been a good machine. We have an old Kubota that is a tank but it’s so old the 4x4 on the front axle went out and we never fixed it.
I’d buy it again, we really do abuse it and give it hell nearly every day. When it is stuck, the winch is nice and easy to use.
Another family member has the 4 seater. Had it longer than we’ve had ours, never had any issues.

It used to be good. Seems the past 8 years have been lame. This board was ate up with the deals in the past. Now it’s just regularly priced Amazon branded stuff that you can buy in Feb for the same price.
I bet the New York Times didn’t make the connection with Obama’s EPA ruling over vehicle footprint size and fuel economy, which forced car companies into making bigger vehicles to get around their absurd fuel economy standards.

They get billions of dollars in sales tax exemptions, tens of millions of dollars in property tax abatements, occupy thousands of acres, consume gobs of resources and produce next to no permanent jobs. And by the time they are online, the permanent jobs will be reduced by improvements in technology.
Tell me you haven’t read agreements without telling me.
The most recent agreement in Rapids has them paying taxes up front to the tune of millions of dollars. They are providing a huge investment into the parish because they know the impact they will cause. The deal is set up that certain tax payments must be made or they don’t get your tax credits you’re so worried about.
And, the state legislature has written into state law that rates can’t go up on other rate payers due to the infrastructure needed. These data centers must pay for these costs, which they do because the land is so cheap for them.
You chicken littles need to actually read agreements before you spew absolute bullshite….oh, and the water supply is nothing like the first and second gen units which sucked a ton of water. These are closed loop systems that do not drain local water supplies dry.
I’m just sick and fricking tired of dumbasses throwing out Facebook boomer idiocracy without actually reading what is going on.
