Newark wouldn’t be the city it is today without Cory!

The rate of growth in Q3 of 2017 , 3.1 percent, annualized was a rate that economists in the Obama Administration, felt was impossible for the U.S. economy to achieve as our economy is mature and developed and did not have the potential anymore. Average annual wage increases look rather good for Trump in the first two…

There may only have been a limited number of copies of yearbooks for his medical school class in existence.  Perhaps it just took this long for someone to find one, or learn that the photo existed and then find one.

The relevance is that yes, there was a time when many public schools did teach reading using bibles.   WaPo is not correct in saying this is an error or falsehood.  

A problem is that there are a lot of contexts in which it is O.K. for police, for government employees in general, to mention Black History Month or maybe, but less clear, “Black Girl Magic.” To make saying “Black History Month” out of bounds to mention, is problematic. To make some workplace rule that clarifies…

Yes, some of them were, but perhaps not all of them. Abolitionists also used bibles to teach reading, and support their fight for liberation. Theirs did not have instances of slaves being freed, edited out.

Drums can be cheaper, though.  Leg quarters can be cheap too and include the thigh.  Drums are probably the most economical chicken parts.

None, except that if confidential personnel records are released, that can be a violation of the law, and there can be a civil liability. If no confidential records from the employee’s personnel file are released, then no problem.  And it can certainly be a good thing to do.

There is no law requiring a “Kids’ Menu.”  Come up with some other promo, just offer half sizes at a deal price or half off a second meal.  Do something else if you don’t like the way it works out.  

The Union would have to agree to a change and they won’t, because they never want to make it less than just short of impossible to fire members. It can’t be effective without changing the Union Contract. I also think it would be great if regardless of Union Contracts, all employers, especially public employers, could…

Lot’s of people who didn’t have textbooks, commonly learned to read from Bibles, until after the Civil War.  

Nobody here has addressed the constitutionality of the obviously unconstitutional 2% wealth tax idea.  An income tax required a constitutional amendment.  A wealth tax would too.  Per the current U.S. Constitution, property confiscated for public use must be compensated for.

What if Lewis wins his case for reinstatement and rejoins the PD, wins damages, even extra damages, because of a media reveal of disciplinary matters, and is no longer retired? Will that still be a boss move by Hardesty, then?

Chik-Fil-A definitely lost a chance to make their boring campout into a Survivor-esque, reality spectacle that would have riveted the nation’s attention on their amputations and frostbite. It could have been the coolest thing ever! Well, since the Donner Party, BBQ.

Over the decades, some of Frida’s iconic images lose their impact and are taken for granted as part of our commercialized mass market, zeitgeist. I visited the Kahlo house about four years ago, on a tour of Mexico city, and recommend the stop.    Also, watch the tango clip from “Frida” with Salma Hyek as Frida and…

Surely, they will at least sell a Schultz campaign cup? Suggested campaign slogan: “Wake up and smell the coffee, America!”

Why doesn’t The Root mention that it was an anti-Semitic attack, anywhere, let alone the headline?

Behind this sort of honor is often a conditional donation.

It’s basically against the law in Israel to allow a BDS advocate into the country. An exception might have to be made, unless there is a standing arrangement for US congress, members. Ironically, Trump might be needed to get Tlaib in. I believe recent a recent visit by Congressmen to the West Bank, largely friendly to…

You could make a case that this crosses the line from cultural appropriation into tourism and advertising.  What I mean, is there is a grey line where describing trash as culture can be an insult to the culture the trash is derived from.  If Ariana wears one of those “I am white trash” tats, then this is not cultural…
