Pigford 1 and Pigford 2 payouts. Then under inflation reduction another 2 billion was paid out.

Kamala's brother in law was in the federal govt overseeing it. I read that he was calling buddies who represented minorities telling them to jump on board the payout is gonna be huge.

And some lament Trump setting up a fund to pay off people who went to prison for being a tourist in DC?????? Or some of those like Bannon or Navarro who had their lives totally screwed for simply being aligned with Trump???

I hate to burst a bubble but take a look at this.....

4th Grade Reading: Louisiana 4th graders rank 16th nationally (climbing from 50th in 2019) and lead the entire country in reading growth.


4th Grade Math: Louisiana's 4th graders

rank in the top five for math

growth

And here we have the answer......

quote:

---

Under Louisiana’s Act 1, educator and school administrator salary increases are directly tied to annual performance evaluations, which factor in student learning growth and standardized test scores.

Either Louisiana imported a bunch of Asian 4th graders....or someone cheatin.

You guys keep chasing this shiny object. Here is some real graft. Pelosi championed the CHIPS act to bolster american manufacturing of chip making. What she didnt tell you that a big benefactor would be foreign companies making them in the US.

Upon the signing of the bill, 280 billion, remember the international dust up where she insisted on flying to Taiwan with a planeload of people liquor and her son in tow and pissing off the chinese? Then she flew on to south korea. And will you look what happened......

TSMC of Taiwan got billions in US grants, billions in tax credits, and further 100a of millions in state tax benes to build in the US.

And Samsung got the same.

Im certain someone like data Republican could dig through the myriad of companies and find where some offshore ngo controlled by Pelosi's son has a good chunk of TSMC and Samsung stock.

My point is, the graft in govts is insane and at all levels, Martha Stewart making a few shekels (for my Jooo haters) is not the problem.

Well she sits on Newsom's wife "cailfornia partners projects" which is another non profit ngo. Which has received funding from silicon valley bank ( who was bailed out by govt) two indian tribes where a rival tribe was denied by newsom to build a casino close to them.

This shat never ends its just taking taxpayer money and filtering back and forth through NGOs til it is all spent on each other's friends.

When I lived in Richmond 40 years ago they had a great Confederacy Museum, I think its been renamed to the enlightenment or some other nonsense.

They had a scout's pocket notebook with a musket hole in it, it was owned by one of the scouts doing reconnaissance with Stonewall that night.

So what you are saying is we need DEI for stupid American kids who did not have the grades or GMAT scores to get them into graduate programs???

Due to the ignorant student "loan" program we probably have 20% of kids who should never have been allowed in a University to begin with.

Chinese student enrollment has declined for the last five years in a row and now is at 265K.

Trump touted chinese student enrollment in the past.....and it keeps declining. Just diplomatic speak.

Our own education system in 4th, 8th, and yet again 12th grade shows math and reading levels below standard by over a third of those tested.

I stood in a bar next to a college student where I saw her write down 17 and 38 on a piece of paper, failed to add it and whipped out her phone to calculate it because she could not figure out how to "carry" the 10 when she added 7 and 8.

Course that was not as bad as the Venezuelan "student" who was peddling her arse while wearing a "Che" tshirt. I wanted to tell her that her country's policies of following Che is the reason she is now hooking for a living in a foreign country :lol:

Seems like it'd be extremely easy to figure out a secure alternative without spending 400 million dollars on a new ball room.

So you think maybe a learing centers, would only take a few to run up a 400million tab :lol: :lol:

Consumption rising and could be 40% higher by 2035. A lot of it on green projects, AI, and cars using more aluminum (since they are producing in the US again).

So demand is up, domestic production cant keep up. Isnt this the ole supply and demand curve.

Nah blame it on tariffs, better to kill off all domestic production with cheaper aluminum from Canada, that is really just cross docked, from Chini.

Ya want cheap aluminum but you would never let a smelter be built next door.

I saw a documentary on US industrial production during WW2. They interviewed this woman who had moved to the Mobile shipyards, now remember there was a lot of animosity about outsiders taking jobs. This woman had moved to Mobile, she was black, female, and the highest classification welder, when merit not DEI merited class.

The interviewer asked her what she had to go through (obviously hoping for some racist fodder) the woman just answered "I work very hard because I want those Japanese to know this is America and when we hit back it is HAARRRD".

Thanks AlterEd,

So they only broke about 18 different federal laws and tried to cover up an action which totally changed who was elected president while colluding with a foreign country and then tried to cover it up by spying on another agency within the US.

But come on man its wasnt like a raid dude, come on man :lol: :lol: :lol:
