One thing this list does is once again exposes the level at which government is involved in funding education.

The uproar from people (outside of this board) that I know who consider themselves conservatives need to take a step back and think about what this is doing.

The government has been influencing the pipeline of students for particular fields over others for years. If you’ve tried to get in to see a specialist in the past decade, yes, we need more, and we need more mid level providers who can see patients for small things while the tough cases go to full docs.

That being said, is it the government’s role to do this? That depends on your opinion. If the federal government is going to direct resources to these fields, it’s no longer conservatism.

As someone already posted, NYC has a larger population than most states. It’s not uncommon for the NYC Mayor to meet with POTUS.

I worked the 2024 election polls so I could see some things for myself.

1) Dominion machines run on android. You can watch it when it boots up. Was surprised it’s not a proprietary operating system, but I don’t know what’s reasonable to expect.

2) There is a real risk in Georgia at the poll pads, where they check ID before handing out cards. The people issuing cards to be placed into the ballot machines don’t have to log into the registration system, so workers just hopped from one poll pad to the next as needed. No way to track which workers granted which ballots. There’s more of a paper trail when someone cashes a check at a bank.

3) Chain of custody is reliant upon trusting the poll manager. At some point a human has to be trusted. I found that to be interesting. Preliminary numbers were printed and posted at the precinct after the machines were shut down.

These are some systemic observations. The poll pads should require logins, IMO, for every user, and while every ballot can remain anonymous for the voter, the grantor of the ballot and the voter receiving it is something that could be tracked for security.

I don’t believe much anymore without a true smoking gun, and I stopped falling for free beer tomorrow during the 45th administration.

Definitely didn’t have Minaj stepping up for Christians in Nigeria for 2025, but good for her.

We were there for Kav’s confirmation, and security for that alone was high. Capitol Police with rifles and dogs. Keep in mind the House wasn’t in session then.

The entire idea that unarmed citizens could overrun security is a farce. Anyone who has ever visited the Capitol knows this, and the doors that many people went through are only able to open from the inside.

Any time there’s disagreements between people in the same party, it’s worth paying attention. I usually find it encouraging that they’re not all marching in lockstep.

What’s the current renewal process?
