I give it to my soon to be US History students in their last grading period. They are soon to be high school seniors. A few do very well. They are often the children of immigrants.

The reason why Born Again Christians "support" Israel is because they can't get their Rapture Party on until the Jews rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem. Only then will the faithful (them) be taken up to Heaven without having to die, and then Jesus will return to Earth to kick off Armageddon with a literal war with Satan…

Why does that get her off the idiot train? Idiots function best in large groups.

I think racist Texans like the Jews from Israel because the republican party tells them to. It's those Jews from New York City you gotta watch out for.

Fuck Jeff Roorda.

Roorda told KMOV that he was trying to get out in the aisle when Currie "elbowed" him to keep him from leaving, and that "two or three other anti-police radicals" then rushed over "and things de-escalated — I mean escalated from there." He flatly denied grabbing or shoving Currie.

Oh look, another cop confused over the meaning of 'de-escalate'...

I named mine Jake....

Burt you killed it
