  1. A responsible teacher will have checked what the topic was before it was presented and ensured it was appropriate for the setting rather than have half the class laughing at it and the other half shocked, especially since some students there are of Mexican heritage and other's there who are black. However yes it would have been difficult to present some facts and education first in Florida with the censorship hammer in place for some subjects and discussions. Including the Bill to Limit School Discussion of Race or slavery. Luckily there was also not a topic on gays or even girls periods as that's also banned. The legal Mexican heritage student who took the video and whose father complained had every reason to. The teacher obviously knows what he did is wrong otherwise why resign? Like I said, only in a DeSantis Florida..........
  2. Noted but I never said the actual Ann Frank Diaries were banned. A picture version of her diaries was banned however. Along with "One of this year’s rejected Holocaust textbooks was called “Modern Genocides,” and the other was an online learning course titled “History of the Holocaust.” Both were intended for high school students." Regardless this was a very small detail of my post with regards to the topic at hand and my point being that the students needed learning and facts first from the teacher before giving presentations on such subjects. I'm not going further into book bans, plenty of topics on that already.
  3. In an ideal world, the students would have facts presented to them first by the teachers. Covering the difficult issues of racism, discrimination, gender issues. Then is the time for presentations from students, once they have those facts. BUT this is Florida, where some books on the holocaust are banned, hundreds of others banned including an Anne Frank book. Gender issues banned, lessons on some race-related concepts banned. No wonder the students are ignorant to the facts. The teacher who allowed this thankfully resigned.
  4. Its been raining Russian aircraft. Two helicopters, one fighter jet and one bomber. Biggest loss in one day.................
  5. Perhaps they can all immigrate and carry out their plans in Russia itself? LOL Plans are underway in Russia to build a settlement for conservative American and Canadian immigrants seeking to leave the West “for ideological reasons,” at least according to a Moscow-based immigration lawyer. Timur Beslangurov, a partner in the law firm VISTA Immigration, claimed that construction would begin next year on a village in the Moscow region for about 200 families from North America, financed by the immigrants themselves. https://www.vice.com/en/article/xgwdew/russia-maga-colony
  6. Yes he mentioned the economy and lied. He also mentioned the Ukraine war and lied. I agree though, the 2020 elections are in the past but he was the one who constantly brought it up and lied. Its all in the fact checks.
  7. Really? How many lie's did you miss? Fact-checking Trump’s CNN town hall in New Hampshire https://edition.cnn.com/2023/05/10/politics/fact-check-donald-trump-town-hall/index.html
  8. More gains.............. Frontline report: Ukraine liberates 17.5 km² near Bakhmut, unblocks supply route On 12 May, there was a lot of good news from the Bakhmut direction. Here, Ukrainians leveraged their newly gained territories on Bakhmut’s northern flank and increased the scale of the operation even more. After Ukrainians saw how Russian troops from the 9th Motorized Rifle Brigade started to abandon their positions, it was decided to maintain the momentum and push along the lake. Due to the problems with communication, some Russian detachments did not understand what was going on and still defended their trenches in front of the Khromove road, even though they were already virtually surrounded. https://euromaidanpress.com/2023/05/13/frontline-report-ukraine-liberates-17-5-km²-near-bakhmut-unblocks-supply-route/
  9. Possibly the first known case use of the Storm Shadow Luhansk factory hit in apparent Ukrainian missile strike Luhansk regional Governor Artem Lisohor suggested the facility was used by Russian forces to repair and resupply military vehicles. "Somehow, a machine-building factory caught fire; not hard to guess what the Russians were storing and repairing there," Lisohor said in a Telegram post. Open-source intelligence analysis team GeoConfirmed confirmed that "cruise missiles" struck at least two targets in Luhansk. The city is located more than 80 km from the front lines. https://news.yahoo.com/luhansk-factory-hit-apparent-ukrainian-201200748.html Alleged Storm Shadow fragments:
  10. My post was not referring to alcohol but to firearms including long guns where unlicensed persons may sell, deliver, or otherwise transfer a long gun or long gun ammunition to a person of any age. No need for any learning for me thanks.
  11. Presentations on “Why I don’t like Black people” and “Why I don’t like Mexican people.” Only in a DeSantis Florida!
  12. Well sort of yes, different states have different age restrictions but its a crazy situation. One study found that state laws raising the minimum legal age to purchase firearms to 21 years were associated with a nine percent decline in rates of firearm suicides among 18-to-20-year-olds. The most concerning aspect of that article I linked to though was the reason the judge said its unconstitutional to ban firearms to under 21's because of the Supreme Court ruling: "The Supreme Court said judges should no longer consider whether the law serves public interests, like enhancing public safety. Governments that want to uphold a gun restriction must look back into history to show it is consistent with the country’s “historical tradition of firearm regulation,” the Supreme Court said." The Constitution more important than peoples lives. The gun nuts win again.
  13. CNN’s Nic Robertson interview 4 Ukrainian commanders who took part in the recent, successful counterattacks on the outskirts of Bakhmut. They say that improved weather, combined with the arrival of Western infantry fighting vehicles, is what made it possible for them to advance.
  14. Of course it will be ignored. With the host of firearm regulations needed to get some sort of decent effect, even little baby steps get blocked. Banning gun sales to young American adults under 21 is unconstitutional, judge rules A federal judge in Virginia has ruled that a law banning licensed federal firearms dealers from selling handguns to young adults under 21 violates the Second Amendment and is unconstitutional. Payne’s ruling is the latest decision striking down gun laws in the wake of a landmark Supreme Court ruling last year that changed the test courts have long used to evaluate challenges to firearm restrictions. The Supreme Court said judges should no longer consider whether the law serves public interests, like enhancing public safety. https://thehill.com/homenews/ap/ap-top-headlines/banning-gun-sales-to-young-american-adults-under-21-is-unconstitutional-judge-rules/
  15. Great news, its been confirmed that Ukraine has advanced a few kilometers in Bakhmut. Russian MOD also confirming that Russian forces have moved back.
  16. Tweet from Chief Foreign-Affairs Correspondent of The Wall Street Journal Russian MOD confirms that Russian troops redeployed to “more advantageous defensive positions” along the Berkhivka reservoir north of Bakhmut — or, in plain English, retreated by several km. https://twitter.com/yarotrof/status/1656970691227549696
  17. Good for you!! This from CNN Anderson Cooper “If we all only listen to those we agree with, it may actually do the opposite. If lies are allowed to go unchecked, as imperfect as our ability to check them is on a stage in real-time, those lies continue and those lies spread,” Cooper continued. “If you’re angry or upset, I understand. But you have the power to do something about it,” he concluded. “You can actually get involved. You can make a difference, whatever side of the aisle you’re on. After last night, none of us can say, ‘I didn’t know what’s out there. I didn’t know what’s coming.’” https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/anderson-cooper-addresses-disturbing-trump-025940399.html
  18. Yet that's not what Trumps own lawyer is claiming if you bothered to read the link. Carroll's lawyer wanted to reject this juror because of his bias but it was denied.
  19. Indeed apologies given for my mistake on not noticing the remark on the judge in your first post. Nothing to do with webs being weaved. However as stated even from Trumps own lawyer: Trump lawyer rejected claim that juror’s political affiliation signified bias “A juror’s political affiliation is not grounds for dismissal, even in cases involving a political figure,” said Trump lawyer Joe Tacopina in a May 2 filing that was unsealed by U.S. District Court Judge Lewis Kaplan on Wednesday. Kaplan ultimately sided with Tacopina’s argument, leaving the juror in place. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/10/trump-lawyer-e-jean-carroll-jurors-00096308 So perhaps next time you say you've read most of the thread, read again.
  20. You still did not read through the thread and see what an appeal can be based on did you? Its nothing to do with how the jurors were picked or their affiliations, your added comment on the judge was not included in your original post but I see your now attempting a deflection from your original claim.
  21. I suggest you look through the thread. Its nothing to do with that. At least one of the jurors in his disclosures when chosen, admitted he listens to Tim Pool, a far-right, pro-Trump commentator who has aligned himself with figures like Steve Bannon. He was still allowed to be a juror.
  22. And in Michigan they are resorting to having to ban backpacks in some schools for fear of pupils carry hand guns in them.......... Second Michigan school district bans backpacks due to gun concerns A second Michigan school district has banned backpacks on school premises due to concerns about gun violence, after a third-grade student was found with a loaded gun. Grand Rapids public schools said on Wednesday the weapon was discovered that morning at Stocking elementary school. It was the fourth time this year the district has uncovered a student with a handgun – three of them in backpacks. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/may/11/second-michigan-school-district-bans-backpacks-due-to-gun-concerns
  23. Ukraine Is Neutralizing Russian Air Defense Systems Ahead Of The Counteroffensive Thus far in the war, both sides have employed such systems to protect their ground forces from incoming missiles and aircraft strikes. However, the Ukrainians have managed to systematically destroy Russian air defense assets, which the Russians have struggled to replace. This has the potential to play a large role in the forthcoming counter-offensive, allowing the Ukrainians to potentially control the airspace over Ukraine. https://www.forbes.com/sites/vikrammittal/2023/05/10/ukraine-is-neutralizing-russian-air-defense-systems-ahead-of-the-counteroffensive/?sh=4e7059fa43b2
  24. Its great news and also more MiG-29s sent from Poland. The counter offensive is coming.............. Poland announces that it has transferred another 4 MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine. It brings to total number of MiG-29s sent from Poland to 14. Time for us in the West to start sending F-16s too! Poland has now delivered both more tanks (330+) and fighter jets (14) to Ukraine than any other country.
  25. No idea, do you not think they've already thought about that and put in place the necessary measures to ensure it all integrates? You asked about what planes, I gave you the info, any more info I suggest you do what I do and search.......
