    Good mornin’ and happy taco day, kids! Hard to believe that we’re only 65 days into winning. There have been some setbacks as expected, but I think we’re further along after two months than we were most of his last term as he was battling the system from Day One! Here’s something from our friends on the other side of the Big River on my southern border. Keep your head on a swivel and carpe’ your coffee!

    I don’t think I’ll post this in social media as my teacher friends are likely to misinterpret the message on a grand scale. But I do believe the thesis is correct in context. Teachers have been paid less than their private sector neighbors who actually work year-round, but when you add the layers included in this article, it confirms things, in my way of thinking. More and more money has been paid into school systems but the teachers are not the ones getting the cash. More layers and more shiny objects and still no teacher pay. Wonder what it is that the union has actually done for them??????

    Just read a quote I relate to.

    My patience is basically like a gift card. Not sure how much is left, but we could give it a try.

    I’m sure you all have read/heard about the mistaken inclusion of an Atlantic reporter in a foreign policy discussion with high level members of the Trump administration. How and why that occurred I will leave to others. It seems that no classified information was leaked. What I LIKED about this is that our Vice-President, J.D. Vance, appears to be truly concerned about involving our country in war when we don’t need to be. That is something refreshing when we have seen war after war or skirmish under the previous few Presidents, both Republican and Democrat. This is what Vance said, and Tucker Carlson’s commentary:

    “Team, I am out for the day doing an economic event in Michigan. But I think we are making a mistake,” he messaged in response to the group’s gung-ho sentiments about launching the strikes. “3 percent of US trade runs through the [Suez Canal]. 40 percent of European trade does. There is a real risk that the public doesn’t understand this or why it’s necessary. The strongest reason to do this is, as POTUS said, to send a message.”

    Vance also argued for delaying the attacks for a month and lamented the fact that, as usual, America was doing Europe’s dirty work for them.

    “I just hate bailing Europe out again,” he added a few minutes later.

    Let’s take a step back. Yes, the Vice President’s hesitations may seem insignificant because the strikes wound up happening anyway. But they’re not.

    Firstly, the dialogue shows that real, substantive policy debates are happening inside the administration. Its highest members are not afraid to spar with one another over issues that matter. The chat was not an echo chamber. Dissent is allowed.

    Even more importantly, the messages reinforce the fact that the Vice President and likely future commander-in-chief is genuinely wired to want to avoid American interventionism rather than recklessly drop bombs all around the world to flex his manhood like so many of his predecessors. That doesn’t mean the Yemen strikes were examples of such recklessness. It shows that Vance’s antennas were up to make sure they weren’t and that his anti-war messaging isn’t just a public front.

    Imagine what would have happened if previous Republican VPs currently held the post. Would Mike Pence have pushed back against the strikes? Please. Dick Cheney? He probably would have been furious they hadn’t happened already. But not Vance.

    America could have avoided its disasters in Iraq and Afghanistan if the Vice President’s kind of thinking was present inside the Bush administration. The same goes for Korea and Vietnam. As the world plunges deeper into its nuclear era, it’s a relief to know Vance is where he is. He may wind up saving us all.

    What do you think?

      I think I agree with Vance on this. I want a CIC who isn’t a war hawk, but will take no crap and not pay for Europe, like President Trump. Seems to me, presidents have typically been all in on no intervention, or too quick to go all in on war. VP Vance seems to me like someone who could examine both sides.

      Thanks for posting this.

      Thanks for pointing this out. I have been mulling it over since I heard about it. I did like that they were discussing it with some reservations pointed out.
