Bloody Hell???

“We believe that the best approach to a valid, fair and successful election is one that is conducted manually, in-person,” an Amazon spokesperson told news outlets. “We will continue to insist on measures for a fair election, and we want everyone to vote, so our focus is ensuring that’s possible.”

Well, well, well… Mail-in ballots OK for the most important election in history, but not OK when it comes to deciding on allowing unionization for Amazon? Golly gee, Mr. Beelzosbub, why in the world not?

Where are you going to count the ballots, somewhere in Europe?

Crikey.

From the Dept. of the Bloody Obvious

Jan 24 Pew Report: Three-quarters of conservative Republicans say they trust Fox News, and two-thirds distrust CNN… The numbers essentially flip among liberal Democrats, where 70% say they trust CNN and 77% don’t trust what they see on Fox.

“Republicans and Democrats place their trust in two nearly inverse news media environments.”

Ay, there’s the rub…

Lizzie Warren Plans to Bypass Congress, Just Cancel Student Debt via Educ Dept

“Democratic presidential contender Sen. Elizabeth Warren said Tuesday (Jan 14) that she would begin to forgive student loan debt on the first day of her administration, using legal tools that would allow her to bypass Congress.

“Warren wrote in her plan on Tuesday that the U.S. Education Department already has authority to cancel student debt, “and we can’t afford to wait for Congress to act.” ”

(No, indeed, we can’t wait for Congress, especially the House, where they’ll be running Impeachment 2.0, or 3.0, or…)

“…the authority to compromise debt is limited to situations in which the borrower demonstrates severe financial distress…” – Mark Kantrowitz, nationally-recognized expert on student financial aid, scholarships and student loans. He writes extensively about student financial aid policy and has testified before Congress and federal/state agencies about student aid on several occasions

You know what constitutes “severe financial distress” in the minds of those backing this vote-buying scheme? “I live at home and collect welfare because it’s easier than working. (Plus, my degree in [philosophy/women’s studies/social reformation/ basketweaving] isn’t getting me any $100k starting-job offers.)”

Why Germany Is So Much Better at Training Its Workers

An eye-opening article that will make you think deeply about common education systems and models. “Today in America, fewer than 5 percent of young people train as apprentices, the overwhelming majority in the construction trades. In Germany, the number is closer to 60 percent—in fields as diverse as advanced manufacturing, IT, banking, and hospitality. And in Europe, what’s often called “dual training” is a highly respected career path…What education reformers call “lifelong learning” is still a distant dream for most Americans. In Germany, it’s a reality.”

Above My Brain’s Pay Grade, But SO interesting!

I’m not even going to pretend to understand, much less explain or condense the material in the article below, but here’s the excerpt that got my attention at first:

Compared to the unsolved mysteries of the universe, far less gets said about one of the most profound facts to have crystallized in physics over the past half-century: To an astonishing degree, nature is the way it is because it couldn’t be any different. “There’s just no freedom in the laws of physics that we have…”

[Disclaimer: Well it -is- Al Green, so take it with a pound of salt.]

Thursday on C-SPAN, Rep. Al Green (D-TX) discussed impeachment, saying “there is no limit” to how many times the House and Senate can try to impeach President Donald Trump.

Green said he suspects Trump will have additional offenses in the future, so he believes House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) will “move forward” with a vote to impeach Trump for his alleged quid pro quo demand with Ukraine and then try again “at a later time” if they find more during their investigations.

Climate Heats Up In Iowa For Mr. Biden

“The reason I’m running is because I’ve been around a long time and I know more than most people know,” Biden said, addressing the issue of his age. “And I can get things done, that’s why I’m running, and if you want to check my shape, let’s do push-ups man, let’s run, let’s do whatever you want to do. Let’s take an IQ test.”

Read the whole article via the link to The Free Beacon below, and you may agree that that last challenge may not be the one Sleepy-Creepy should exercise.

Kanye West and Joel Osteen: Is It Really Christianity, or Is It Something Else?

Just sharing, not commenting or judging. But you can probably guess what a lot of folks will be thinking.

“Kanye West and Joel Osteen are a match made in market-driven heaven,” said Jonathan Walton, dean of Wake Forest Divinity School, who noted how West sold $170 “Jesus is King” sweatshirts with his new album.

“Both have baptized their commercial notoriety and their financial gains in Jesus’ name,” Walton said. “The communion table has become a merch table.”

What, me worry?

This is why we should be worried. But instead we are worried about “offending”. Let’s hope the decline can be stemmed and turned around. Somehow. Best way is to be proactive, speak out, and VOTE. [Thanks to RKK]
