He talks a lot about morals. To have admitted to at least 11 counts of illegally using campaign money

• In 2022 and 2020, Arizona Rep. David Schweikert was fined $175,000 by the Federal Election Commission and House Ethics Committee for multiple campaign finance violations.
  
• Investigators said he failed to report loans, allowed funds to be used for noncampaign purposes and slow-walked handing over documents to play out the statute of limitations for the worst offenses.
  
• Schweikert acknowledged the violations, but said he didn’t knowingly break the law.

At first I assumed that you are just pretending to be ignorant but its obvious to me that you aren't pretending. There are far too many sources to list but Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, and Dan Bongino are just a few. These people have consistently done their homework and always bring the receipts.

Of course you'll discount them immediately. That's to be expected, but they do live in the country and have a significantly better grasp as to what is happening there than you and are no doubt far more credible than you for example. One thing I will not do is keep going back to same news sources that have continuously lied and purposely mislead their viewers. They are full of race hustlers and the most intellectually dishonest people alive. I am speaking about the MSM like CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR etc. Have you ever watched Joy Reid? The View? Why would anyone? It's truly baffling how so many can't break free from the deception. Millions have left these outlets thankfully.

I don't know much about the Houston inter school district and I don't really care. You won't ever find me giving an opinion about what happens in the school your kids attend. Don't be silly.

The teachers union is the largest union in the US and they contribute a ton of money to the democratic party who are ruing the country. I get paid in USD, I own property in the US, almost 100% of my business is done with the US, and US politics affects much of the world. I have mention all of this more than once and I know for a fact you have read it before, yet you keep posting as if you haven't. Weird.

Are you serious? Tucker Carlson admitted his views are for entertainment purposes only and that NO ONE really believes a word what he says. I guess he didn’t know you take him seriously. LMFAO.

I have property in several countries and do business but I could not tell you who the fukk is the president, prime minister, prince what have you. I barely keep up with the US president. I hear more about Biden and Trump from you than anyone I know. You are obsessed.

Dwight calling someone else ignorant. Classic

'I assumed that you are just pretending to be ignorant but its obvious to me that you aren't pretending.'


Another classic. How would he know this?

''significantly better grasp as to what is happening there than you''


You did say you have not watched Fox in a few weeks, that's a start. But in the past, you kept going back to Fox.
Now if you can get away from Tucker.

''One thing I will not do is keep going back to same news sources that have continuously lied and purposely mislead their viewers. They are full of race hustlers and the most intellectually dishonest people alive. I am speaking about the MSM like CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR etc.''


Just like I've told you 100 times I don't watch any of the national news. CNN, MSNB, ABC, CBS, FOX or any of the others. I may catch a few minutes of them flipping thru the cannels but rarely. I do catch the Sunday morning show on fox about once every two months with Howard Kurtz, by far the best one on Fox. A lot of your replies to my post, is I'm repeating what I heard on them, that is impossible almost every time. Weird

''I have mention all of this more than once and I know for a fact you have read it before, yet you keep posting as if you haven't. Weird.[/QUOTE]''

The right to have a union is protected by the US Constitution.


''The teachers union is the largest union in the US''

The First Amendment of the Constitution, which guarantees the freedom of speech, assembly, and petition, also guarantees freedom of association and is recognized by U.S. courts as a fundamental right. The freedom of association encompasses the right of the group to take collective action to pursue the interests of its members. For this obvious reason, the constitutionally protected freedom of association includes unionization and union-related activities.

You mean the vaccinations Trump had pushed thru to try and get them out before election 2020. Something that usually takes years and were out in less than a year. About 10 months, I think. Are those the ones you speak of.

Bingo. Dwight keeps bashing the vaccine (the one thing Trump got right).

[Mac4Lyfe]

I have an informed opinion. Many agree with it. What does it matter when the last time I was in an American classroom?

I am not pointing out anything that goes on at the school where you live. You should know more about it even though I bet you haven't stepped inside a classroom in your county or even your State either for many years. And even if you have, that has nothing to do with my post of my feeling about it. Also, I don't give a shit. I was talking about grooming of children and how bad teachers are allowed to indoctrinate students. That is why I posted this ... At one time. educators tried to teach students to carefully define words and systematically analyze arguments. They said, we are here to teach you how to think, not what to think. Today, they are teaching students what to think. Political correctness, instead of knowledge, students are given self-esteem so they can vent their ignorance with confidence. - Thomas Sowell

No offense, but I am gonna take the word of people like Thomas Sowell rather than you. The main reason is they make sense to me but more importantly they have history of telling the truth and have consistently been proven right.

I used to use that one a lot. A couple of blocks from Laurel Racetrack.

I don't know who Thomas Sowell is and he may be right about that happening in some schools in the USA but to bunch the whole education systems all over this huge country together is just wrong. Yes, there is a lot about the education system that needs improvement. Most are run in local districts. By elected boards. You would be hard pressed to find two ran exactly the same.

Thomas Sowell- it's nice you find him honest and trustworthy but going on some of the people you have put your faith in, in the past, I will remain a sceptic for now.

I don't take offense, you have a right to your opinion, and I respect that. 2+2 =4 is not an opinion it's a provable fact. To many times people take things that are not as clear as 2+2=4 and try to push it as fact. Most things are never that cut and dry or black and white most things are a lot more complicated.

Trump wasn't in politics for decades. Try 3 years.

Trump didn't push anything through. He asked them to do their best to come up with a vaccine asap and he guaranteed that the government would buy the doses. That has nothing to do with deregulation. Deregulation is a good thing in many circumstances because many of these government departments are a waste of taxpayer monies. It shouldn't take several years and millions of dollars to get permits to building many things. Much of the time its government greed. Just look at Washington in general.

I never said Trump was in politics for 30 years, you need to reread the post.

If he didn't push it, then that's just another lie he told, almost daily, if not daily on TV while bragging about "Wrap Speed".

If you think that letting drug trials that usually last years, and then get cut so you can do them in months is not deregulating you would be wrong. They had to cut regulations to do that.

I didn't know it took years and millions of dollars to get a permit in Washington. Not surprised, but I will have to take your word for it. Since I've never needed one, I've never had to apply.
But you and I both know it would never stop there, they cut safety regulation so companies can make more money short term and could get employees hurt or killed on the job. Long term it usually backfires on them.
I would have thought, you had listened to many of Trump's speeches. I have never once heard him say, he was going to ask, he is always talking about just telling them what to do because he knows better than they do.

You are unbelievable, you could roll a steel box like a basketball. The same drug companies the GOP have protect for decades. Sure a few on the other side have been bought by them but by large majority the GOP have protected them thru every vote they could for decades.


So, that bad vaccination you and others always talking about, how its killed and killing so many, you agree Trump pushed it thru and pulled many safeguards. This is what deregulation does, takes away safeguards so big companies like the drug companies can make more profit, at worker and consumer expense.

Of course he was pushing it. All while using the same false, cherry-picked trial data provided by big pharma as the FDA used to push through their EUA scam. For the most part, the only ones in DC who disapproved of the vaccine initially were the democrats and how quickly they changed their tune once they took the WH.

[jackpot269]

Seriously? That is you counterpoint? Sure he wanted it before the election. Who didn't? He committed the government to do whatever they could to save lives. He spared no expense. He deployed 2 medical ships, NY and CA, just in case. He had car companies make ventilators. He did everything he could.


The drug companies didn't come through with the right vaccine and I am convinced they withheld announcing they had the vaccine before the election to after the election.

What happen to believing your eyes and ears when you have not put either in the classroom.

My daughter graduated high school in 2016 and got her JD degree at UTK in May. She is taking her Bar exam this month. So up until 2016 I was at the school on a regular. But I've made no claims of what is going on in our classrooms, you have. So no reason I should need to say.
I know a lot of teachers that teach in the surrounding area. Went to high school with many of them and grew up in church with several also.
I assure you; I would be shocked if any that I know, would let anything that was not moral, in their classrooms. They would lose their job or fight it to the very end. They may be some in the area that would go along, most likely imports.

Was lucky enough to see his comedy act live three times before he died.
