  1. meanwhile, we're under a blizzard warning for tonight........
  2. from the time i retired to today, i've seen a steady march towards all the points he listed in that article. DEI seemed to have overtaken the mission of fighting america's enemies. i could not see being in the military through that fiasco.
  3. and another one. ‘This kid can’t read’: Student graduates with 3.4 GPA functionally illiterate, family sues CMCSS CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – For years, the Clarksville-Montgomery County School System has made strides toward their goal of a 100% graduation rate. In November, CMCSS announced a 95.1% graduation rate, and in January they saw significant improvements to their state report card. But one of those graduates has come forward after slipping through the cracks: He received his diploma with a 3.4 GPA but cannot read or write. According to court documents obtained by Clarksville Now, in 2016, the student referred to as “William” moved here with his parents who were active-duty servicemembers. William began attending 5th grade in CMCSS. During that 5th grade year, CMCSS identified William as eligible for special education through reading assessment screening and placed him on an Individual Education Plan (IEP). During these screenings, William tested in the 8th percentile for reading comprehension, and the 2nd percentile for oral reading fluency – well below the 25th percentile for reading deficiency. In subsequent years, he would continue to score below the 10th percentile. more at https://clarksvillenow.com/local/this-kid-cant-read-student-graduates-with-3-4-gpa-functionally-illiterate-family-sues-cmcss/

  6. breaking news: putin has offered to mediate the dispute between trump and zelensky.
  7. sounds about right. my washer, dryer, and refrigerator are from 2002. i've heard many horror stories with smart appliances costing so much to repair that it's cheaper to just buy a new one, and the repairs come way too soon to make them worthwhile.

  11. reference i remember seeing that issue all the way back to the early 80's. if the amount allocated is not spent, then the amount spent is most likely to be reduced from the next year's budget. there is very little incentive in this to spend money wisely.
  12. i am amazed at how zelensky is facing loss of his country and his people yet he's so petulant about peace.
  13. will the first meal be timbits and the kiddo gets their first hockey stick?
