re: NYC Spends $44k per student- test scores still dropping
Posted by Ghost of Colby on 5/14/26 at 2:53 pm to lsu777
There’s large school districts all over the country that spend an incredible amount of money per student, only to see test scores remain well below the national average.
You generally see a correlation between test scores and school funding in rural, suburban, and smaller districts, but large urban school districts are another matter.
No matter how much money is throw at the problem, test scores remain low because there are larger root problems. It’s a giant waste of money.

If you decide to hire cheap, untrained, and dangerous Mexican trucking companies and drivers; then you should pay a VERY high price when accidents occur.
re: Any of you baws ever torn your ACL?
Posted by Ghost of Colby on 5/14/26 at 10:43 am to VolsOut4Harambe
I tore my ACL, meniscus, and a partial LCL tear.
The first couple of weeks were tough because of limited mobility and being mostly bedridden, but rehab was a shining light. It got me out of the house, and I was a little ahead of schedule from day 1. That reinforced a positive mindset and goals for recovery.
The next tough stage for me was after the two month mark. Significant progress had been made, but I was still hobbling around, my lifestyle had been severely altered since my original injury, and I was frustrated and eager to get back to normal.
The next hurdle was about six months later, around the 9 month mark, and it lasted for months. Rehab wears you down more mentally than physically. I could see the light at the end of the tunnel, but I also knew there was a lot of work ahead. I also had to accept I would never be 100% again.
I was 36 at the time. I was at the age when most men start slowing down, and the wear and tear of the previous thirty-five years begins to show up anyway.
The whole process did get me back in the habit and recommitted to an exercise and workout schedule. That was a positive effect. I believe my overall health and lifestyle is better today than it would have been if I never had the injury.

San Quentin sits on some prime real estate in Marin County, one of the richest and most scenic areas of the country.
California should sell the land and move all the prisoners to a compound out in the desert.

re: Alex Murdaugh's murder conviction overturned - new trial to begin

quote:
Hill, who was in charge of managing the jury and read out the guilty verdict to the court, pleaded guilty in December to four charges connected to the case: obstruction of justice, perjury, and two counts of misconduct in office.
The 58-year-old admitted to showing sealed court exhibits including graphic crime scene photos to a reporter during the trial and then lying about it. She also admitted to taking bonuses and promoting a tell-all book about the trial through her public office.
Clerk of Court:
- Repeatedly tampered with the jury by discussing evidence and expressing her belief to jury members that Murdaugh was guilty.
- Illegally accessed and acquired sealed evidence and documents, and then provided it to reporters.
- Accepted bribes and payments
- Committed perjury
The South Carolina Supreme Court had no choice but to throw out his verdict solely based on her actions.

I never would have guessed the difference would be less than 50 miles from those three points.

Does that typically mean she found out an indictment is coming? FBI sent out target letters two years ago and she's just now hiring this guy? I wonder what changed. Maybe Courtney started talking after she was arrested.
It’s a stall tactic to avoid court appearances and subpoenas.
She waited to “officially” hire an attorney so she could dodge her grand jury subpoena this week. Her lawyer can now go to the judge and argue that this is a complicated case and he needs much longer than a couple of days to familiarize himself with it.
re: Whitmer's best friend indicted on 16 felony charges in fraud case for stealing $20M
Posted by Ghost of Colby on 5/8/26 at 12:57 pm to Major Dutch Schaefer
This $20M is only a part of a larger political slush fund rolled into the Michigan Economic Development’s budget.
That’s a lot of money if you know the right palms to grease.
They didn’t even tried to hide it.
Beydoun was appointed to the board of the very entity the money was laundered through.
That’s brazen. There needs to be at least two more levels of middlemen to increase the degrees of separation.
How it usually works:
Beydoun gets appointed to the board, then funnels smaller amounts to friends, allies, and associates. Not this time. One big check for $20 Million was directed to Beydoun by the Governor.

Beydoun has been a prominent figure in Democratic circles for years, contributing tens of thousands of dollars to candidates statewide, including more than $20,000 to Whitmer's campaigns. She also hosted a Whitmer fundraiser at her home that raised $13,500.
