(though public schools receive additional local and federal dollars).

Not a small amount I am sure.

I don't question that public schools are underfunded. That is why we sent our kids to private schools.

The question is how are we going to get the funding of public schools up to an amount near private school funding? Raising taxes is the only real answer, and even then it won't get up to the same amount. If we raise taxes, I would only be in favor of a sales tax increase being the majority form of the additional funding. Education is a burden everybody in the state should share, not just property holders. A sales tax would also bring in more dollars from outside the state.

The problem is everybody is in favor of taxing as long as you are taxing someone else. You regularly see small 2-3 mil tax proposals for education fail at the local level.

You know something like that wouldn't fly. You also have the factor of gifting that will always favor the private schools. Ted Turner gifted his old HS here in Chattanooga $75 million some years ago. I am not even sure if a person who went to public HS can gift his/her school in such a way without it getting sucked up in to the general fund, be it local school boards or the state agency where it gets diluted from the intent of the gift. They can give to help build a new stadium or something like that but they can't give to hire better teachers or expand the school infrastructure. That has to be doled out by various boards in any way they see fit.

I guess that says they don't like it? LOL

I don't pay much attention this this. Why did we raise the tariff? Was it simply out of the blue for no reason? I suspect it is because Canada is trying to screw with us in other areas of trade.

Just my guess.

Lets get real.... Canada, Mexico and the US had a trade agreement in place... Trump trashed it and then helped put another one in place in his first term...

Now he wants to kill his deal with Canada and Mexico all because Canada rebuffed his efforts to make Canada our 51st state... Why the hell would Canada want that? Trump is a petulant little child who if he doesn't get his way, stomps his feet and cries like a baby.

You can is you wish, turn a blind eye to the Crap he pulls, but I won't.

So your position is this is because Canada won't become the 51st state?

I’m really not saying this simply to bash on POTUS, but I mean, this is really bad.

It is bad. It's worse when you consider the long history of questionable decisions and rhetoric he's spouted - going back to meeting Putin and insisting he meet him alone without any other US representative in the room.

Re: OSU/ College Football waterdawg 10/18/26 01:18 AM
There is to much talent on the Offensive side of the ball to play like they did today .. Not having a some what competent back up QB ready to play blew me away. Not crazy about the D play calling in the 4th quarter either . But the D did play their ass off today .. They get the win ..

Just to inform anyone who wasn't aware. Ohio is a team from the MAC. The Ohio Bobcats. As of the time I'm writing this, they haven't played yet today. The team you're discussing above is Ohio State. It's usually fans of Michigan in an attempt to be insulting who call them Ohio.

Re: OSU/ College Football Bard Dawg 10/17/26 09:57 PM
I agree. Wearied the loss. Our OC needs some direction. Savin stunk at times, taking sacks, missed folks, late with release. Poor judgment multiple times, and he is pushing the ball rather than throwing. Our OC is poor. We should have more points than he has put up. Day better address some issues and demand some variety. Lousy play list. Go, Bucks!

All teams need some of those but OSU was very fortunate at the end.

No way Ohio should have won the game today ! Arthur Smith sucked as an NFL coach and sucks as the OC for us .. Seems we have no ready to play QB behind Sayin who all so caved in a big game .. We have to much talent on the O side not to put up lots of points.. D played their ass of today , but I question how # 80 kept getting open all game ?

Of course people wanted it. Quit saying stupid suff. No doubt some might complain about not being included, but as I said if you actually read my comment, the playoff is expanded as far as possible unless you cut way in to team seasons and once you get down to the 25th team who doesn't make it not many are going to care, except maybe you and the fans of the team left on the bubble.

Plus, what is your problem with money? I suspect I know, but I will leave it there.

When car can hang upside down, flip itself and propel through the air, it's not a "PR stunt", somebody actually conceptualized, designed and executed that. It's not a "wild claim" the whole world just watched it.

You obviously skipped the video or think it was a deep fake. You've been wrong in every single post you've made about it though, so why stop now.

Insert stupid post #39 that has nothing to do with the original post and move on with your day. Go huff another cigarette and find someone else to argue with.

WASHINGTON—Following the abrupt departure of White House press secretary Katie Zacharia, Donald J. Trump announced that her replacement would be the former congressman George Santos.

Speaking to reporters, Santos said he was “thrilled” by the appointment, vowing, “I will bring to this job my experience not only as a lawyer, but as a doctor and astronaut.”

The former legislator said that, in order to take the job, he was cutting short his participation in a reunion tour with his fellow Beatles.

As for Zacharia, In her parting statement she said she was leaving “to spend more time with my children, who will teach me to read.”

Aw. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings Karen. No, I don't like Musk. He's a con man and used his money to buy a position in this administration. But I watch people in the entertaimnent business that disagree with my politics. I listen to musicians who disagree with my politics. That has nothing to do with it.

But you're doing nothing more than guessing that this is somehow "a car straight from the future". Some trillionaire told you that and you just gulped it up as gospel. You got suckered by a PR campaign and a wild claim with nothing to substantiate it.

That's what pooping your pants looks like.

Face it. You pooped your pants because someone mentioned Elon Musk and can't just admit a car straight from the future is pretty cool. Instead, you'll drone on in post after post trying to create a narrative that never existed. Sad, sad little man.

Aw. It's not me who put it on a wish list and has been defending it like it's a viable option. It seems the only one with a voice in their head around here is you. It convinced you to pretend you now need to backtrack. Maybe it's the smarter of your at least two voices.
