DeVos confirmed as U.S. education secretary as Pence breaks tie

[BAMBOO13]

That is up to the Supreme Court, not her.

Not if the Supreme Court is stacked with judges that first support the Bible not the constitution, we will be going back to the dark ages, witch hunts, inquisition with the crusades coming!

She might be right.  

 

"Imagine that everything you see, feel and hear in three dimensions (and your perception of time) in fact emanates from a flat two-dimensional field. The idea is similar to that of ordinary holograms where a three-dimensional image is encoded in a two-dimensional surface, such as in the hologram on a credit card. However, this time, the entire universe is encoded."

Absolutely wrong - in fact the exact opposite will happen now Devos has been confirmed.    

Under Obama Admin the academic results got closer to Thailand !!

 

As Thomas Powell recently said:  "An opportunity has arisen -- belatedly -- that may not come again in this generation. That is an opportunity to greatly expand the kinds of schools that have successfully educated, to a high level, inner-city youngsters whom the great bulk of public schools fail to educate to even minimally adequate levels."

He also said:  "The teachers' unions and the education establishment in general know how big those stakes are, and have mounted an all-out smear campaign to prevent her from being confirmed."

And so might you...however unlikely...some would say anything is possible. This is solipsism at it's finest...or worst. Whatever.

 

We might all be brains in vats or part of some video game, but whatever our perception of this reality is...The Earth in it is NOT flat.

Yeah right...using the Bible as a history book of true myths and fables! 6000 years of absolute truth with humans sharing the planet with dinosaurs. 

 

Not the solution. Not even close.

Instead of all these democrats acting like little kids, why don't they start getting their act together for who is going to lead them in 2020? I can't see Hillary, she will surely have put most of the country into the basket by then and will be 77 and looking more miserable. Joe Biden 82 the first octogenarian POTUS? Elizabeth Warren who has a mouth far to large and left, she will be 75, or maybe good old Nancy Pelosi she'll be 84. I'm trying to see a Madame President for you guys, maybe you can help.....Maddonna, Michelle Obama? Lets face reality the democrat party only exists in name now, but I'd really like to know who people see as the future, what running team could bring them back from the dead?  Please, not Jane Fonda

DEVOS SAYS TRUMP’S FORTY-PER-CENT APPROVAL RATING MEANS MORE THAN HALF OF COUNTRY SUPPORTS HIM

An exuberant Betsy DeVos said on Monday that Donald J. Trump’s forty-per-cent approval rating is a “clear indication” that more than half the country agrees with the job he is doing.

“I was so excited to see the President’s approval rating hit forty,” DeVos, the Secretary of Education, told reporters. “Just knowing that well more than half the country is with him gives us a great sense of confidence moving forward.”

Seems the entire administration is buying into the "alternative facts" paradigm.  This is kinda funny:
