    Dunno how it was/is in everybody else's house, but parents need to help kids with their homework and staying on top of their grades. If your kids can't do math or read at grade level, and they have no disabilities, the number one person to point at is in the mirror.

    Anyways, folks about to FO, then we'll see tons of 'why why why' videos online.

    I agree

    defunding schools plays a big role in student outcomes as well, but Idk if that’s what has been happening in this case

    them voting for Trump tells me that their kids were destined to fail

    I wonder how many of them really voted for Trump because Kamala is a woman and because of LGBTQ/trans?

    The irony in trump's so-called new national security strategy reeks of trump's obsession with helping Putin and Russia, while bizarrely denigrating our NATO European allies. The guy is a fool, like so many of his followers who are Lemmings headed for the cliff.

    trump’s National Security Strategy Slams European Allies

    By Michelle L. Price, The Associated Press

    President Donald Trump’s administration set forth a new national security strategy that paints European allies as weak and aims to reassert America’s dominance in the Western Hemisphere.

    The document released Friday by the White House is sure to roil long-standing U.S. allies in Europe for its scathing critiques of their migration and free speech policies, suggesting they face the “prospect of civilizational erasure” and raising doubts about their long-term reliability as American partners.

    It reinforces, in sometimes chilly and bellicose terms, Trump’s “America First” philosophy, which favors nonintervention overseas, questions decades of strategic relationships and prioritizes U.S. interests above all.

    The U.S. strategy “is motivated above all by what works for America — or, in two words, ‘America First,’” the document said.

    This is the first national security strategy, a document the administration is required by law to release, since the Republican president’s return to office in January. It is a stark break from the course set by President Joe Biden’s Democratic administration, which sought to reinvigorate alliances after many were rattled in Trump’s first term and to check a more assertive Russia.

    The United States is seeking to broker an end Russia’s nearly 4-year-old war in Ukraine, a goal that the national security strategy says is in America’s vital interests. But the document makes clear that the U.S. wants to improve its relationship with Russia after years of Moscow being treated as a global pariah and that ending the war is a core U.S. interest to “reestablish strategic stability with Russia.”

    ...................................
    The document also is critical of America’s European allies. They have found themselves sometimes at odds this year with Trump’s shifting approaches to the Russia-Ukraine war and are facing domestic economic challenges as well an existential crisis, according to the U.S.

    Economic stagnation in Europe “is eclipsed by the real and more stark prospect of civilizational erasure,” the strategy document said.

    The U.S. suggests that Europe is being enfeebled by its immigration policies, declining birthrates, “censorship of free speech and suppression of political opposition” and a “loss of national identities and self-confidence.”

    “Should present trends continue, the continent will be unrecognizable in 20 years or less. As such, it is far from obvious whether certain European countries will have economies and militaries strong enough to remain reliable allies,” the document said. “Many of these nations are currently doubling down on their present path. We want Europe to remain European, to regain its civilizational self-confidence.”


    Despite Trump’s “America First” maxim, his administration has carried out a series of military strikes on alleged drug traffickers in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean while weighing possible military action in Venezuela to pressure President Nicolás Maduro.

    just saw a story about a dumb MAGA named Dan

    his wife got scooped up at a green card hearing by ICE and is being held at a detention center ready to be deported…he said ICE officials gave them 1 minute to say goodbye before she got whisked away

    she had overstayed her visa

    imagine being married to someone who had overstayed their visa and voting for Donald Trump and the party holding up “mass deportations now” signs at rallies…dumb MAGA Dan used to be all decked out in MAGA merch and there was a picture of him wearing this shirt

    [​IMG]

    he said he supports strong immigration enforcement and closed borders, but what’s happened to his wife isn’t fair :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    that with ICE doing stuff like this, it will make it so people don’t want to show up to their hearings and that he and his wife were doing things the right way

    was on camera tearing up

    [​IMG]

    aww, don’t cry now Dan

    he deserves everything he gets, and I hope his wife gets deported soon

    One thing all MAGA voters have in common is lack of empathy and compassion. They only care when it impacts them. I'm not saying there aren't people like this voting for democrats, but it's a badge of honor for vocal MAGA voters. The ones on this board are people I wouldn't have a beer with. Either they're stupid AF or selfish AF or both.

    But if they voted Trump, they at least protected their kids from being forced to be gay by the woke mob.

    they never ask any real follow up questions

    Who do you plan to vote for in the midterms? In 2028? If they’re still gonna vote republican then they haven’t truly learned anything

    they keep trying to separate Trump from the republican party…you didn’t just vote for Trump, you voted for the republican party…the republican party is doing this to you

    looks like Fiqy found out

    In July of last year, Salman Fiqy stood front row behind President Trump during a campaign rally in St. Cloud, Minnesota.

    Fiqy, who first immigrated to the United States from Somalia in 2009, said he got the call from Mr. Trump's campaign team to help drum up support for the Republican ahead of the general election.

    He said he was proud to do it. Now, as a large-scale ICE operation against Somalis in the Twin Cities begins, preceded by the president repeatedly making sweeping derogatory comments about Somalis, Fiqy's support for the Republican Party is over.


    "We felt betrayal by the president, the one we organized for and did an outreach for," Fiqy said.

    After threatening to end Temporary Protected Statusfor Somalis in Minnesota, Mr. Trump escalated his attack on Somali Minnesotans this week by calling them "garbage."

    CBS News is reporting that ICE is now targeting Somali peoplewith final deportation orders in Minneapolis and St. Paul; Mr. Trump did not make that kind of distinction during a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, instead stating, "I don't want [Somalis] in our country."

    Wednesday, he doubled down, saying, "The Somalians [sic] should be out of here. They've destroyed our country."

    His comments, presented without evidence, have shaken people like Fiqy, who saw an opportunity for the GOP to gain further ground in the Somali community.

    "That is dehumanizing and very demeaning rhetoric," Fiqy said.

    Imam Tawakal Ismail, a self-described religious leader in Minnesota, is joining Fiqy in disavowing his connection to the GOP at both the local and national levels. He released a statement on Wednesday night expressing disappointment that Minnesota Republicans did not come out in support of Somali people after the president's remarks.

    "We expected leadership that stands up for truth and justice. That did not happen," Ismail said.

    State Republican leadership took questions about the president's attacks on Somali Minnesotans on Thursday during a press conference on the state's budget outlook. While GOP House Speaker Lisa Demuth, State Sen. Eric Pratt, and House Floor Leader Harry Niska indicated that they disagree with the president's characterization of all Somalis, none directly condemned his comments or actions.

    "In no way do I believe any community is all bad, just like I don't believe any community is all good. We need to hold fraudsters in any community accountable for their actions," Demuth said.

    Mr. Trump's focus on Somali Minnesotans seems to revolve around a series of multimillion-dollar fraud schemes in the state. There are now more than 75 defendants in what's known as the Feeding Our Future fraud case, described as the "largest pandemic fraud in the United States." Many of the people charged in the case are of Somali descent, though the group's founder and alleged "mastermind," Aimee Bock, is White.

    Local Somali leaders and advocates have said that the actions of individuals cannot define an entire community.

    Of the approximate 80,000 Somali people in Minnesota, Census Bureau figures from 2024 show that about 95% are U.S. citizens. More than half were born in the United States; most Somali-born immigrants entered the country before 2010.
