'A Nation (more) at Risk'

 "A Nation at Risk" concluded:

"The Commission found that not enough of the academically able students are being attracted to teaching; that teacher preparation programs need substantial improvement; that the professional working life of teachers is on the whole unacceptable; and that a serious shortage of teachers exists in key fields.

􀁸 Too many teachers are being drawn from the bottom quarter of graduating high school and college students.

􀁸 The teacher preparation curriculum is weighted heavily with courses in

"educational methods" at the expense of courses in subjects to be taught. A

survey of 1,350 institutions training teachers indicated that 41 percent of the time of elementary school teacher candidates is spent in education courses, which reduces the amount of time available for subject matter courses."

But we must understand: "Poorly educated billionaires choose 70% of our governing politicians and these 'American Oligarchs' have destroyed America while guaranteeing they get richer and the poor get children.

Americans have lost faith in their government because the government is run by stupid people stealing all the tax dollars and getting 10 cents on a dollar worth of return on our tax dollars. The Republicans are especially guilty of this. Our Congresses, state and Federal, are comprised of lawyers who couldn't get jobs in Firms or Industries. We have less than 10% of our high school students learning any physics. And it's only the basis to how everything works.

We have lost faith in our government because it lies, cheats, and steals everything not tied down. Raw uneducated, conceited fools and the fault lies with us. We spend 20 minutes a year picking our governing bodies. You can turn America over, it's done.

Democrats, especiall Att. General Garland are too weak..

 Garland is an obvious coward: the impeachment evidence against Trump is perfect proof Trump is a traitor. Garland refuses to put it before a Grand Jury. The Mueller report evidence against Trump is incontrovertible: Garland won't put it in front of a grand jury. WHY? Coward, puppet of Republicans, or fool: take your pick. I say he is totally unfit for the tough job of protecting American Justice and the Department of Justice. He's worried about losing more then concerned about saving America from Lying, cheating, power grabbing fools. As a result, his personal evaluation of his duty leads us to authoritarian government, Trump or Republican's taking complete control of American law, and morals, or simple dictatorship. All of which could be stopped by one indictment, one trial, and win or loose consequences, doing his duty. He is unfit because he is too self conscious about "his position in history". Coward or fool doesn't matter: America cannot survive his inaction. Indict Trump or give up freedom! And he won't, because of who he is, indict Trump. And Biden is not strong enough to tell him to indict. Kiss America good bye! No weapons of mass destruction, no impeachment of Trump, and subsequently, no indictment of Trump. American democracy and rule of law has failed and you can sing "Hail to the King" because of the cowards who we have elected. They aren't big enough, tough enough, smart enough, strong enough to do the right thing for the Government of the People, for the People and by the People. So it will perish from this Earth. Pity. It could have been so good if they had been good enough. They simply aren't.

Supreme Court Surrenders it's basis of Authority. It's become a group of Bible Thumping dictators.

 The Supreme Court, and it's internal majority of lunatic fringe Republicans, has taken away the right of women to control their own bodies, their own lives. We must now ignore all the Supreme court decisions. They are not answerable to us. We should no longer be answerable to them. Jefferson was right: the Constitutional Article 3 Judges are not answerable to the people, to the Executive, or to the Legislature. Now they have become wild religious supporters and against Muslims, Buddhists, atheists, and take away rights from the people for the 'benefit' of bible thumpers they have betrayed the Constitution and the people. Since they are no longer protecting the law they have become rulers and given up being public servants. Ignore the Supreme Court rulings. They cannot enforce them: they have no police force, no army, nothing but their words and their words say you are slaves again, as they said in Dred Scott (~1850) decision that gave us the Civil War.

We need an Actual Democracy: the people must become the legislature and vote directly on the laws they live under. We must vote directly for the President and do away with the Electoral College. We must vote directly for judges making them answerable to the people. See assocactualdemocracy.com, advocating for Actual Democracy since 2014.

 If the Biden administration was interested in indicting Trump they would have taken the two impeachment transcripts from the House and put them in front of a grand jury, period.

They are obviously afraid of "backlash" from the public, where they could be seen as using the law against political opponents. I am more afraid of my nation being afraid of defending my nation from those who would be king, for our good, and their greater good, and to get their hands on the treasury, the education of our children, the army, the full faith and credit of the United states. It's more important to stop would be kings and dictators than to believe "I'll look bad trying to save America". You'll look a lot worse when Trump and Moscow Mitch have taken over the Congress, arrested the Democrats and killed them all. Another hundred years of a failed Republic will follow. We need Actual Democracy now. The people must become the Legislature and vote directly on the laws, directly on the President (no electoral college), and directly on Judges ( no more Judge for life appointed by a President but voted in by the people for 9 year term, making the Judges finally answerable to the people, rather than the other way around: we the people are answerable to 9 judges. They caused the civil war with the Dread Scott Decision; now they have ruled "money is speech", women are slaves, the poor are irrelevant, and the gun manufacturers are the Aristocracy who pick out 'Representatives' and kill our children. See the 2014 website assocactualdemocracy.com and contribute.

The Canadian Truckers are demonstrating against science and Covid, That'll Show 'em.

The unhappy truck drivers are using their comradery to pull together against science and truth. Truck drivers earn a living. Everybody earns a living, and then don't live. There is an American self-pity that goes back to pre-colonial Europe. The Enlightenment started after the plague. Poor Richard's Almanac and the Declaration knocked on the door to the future and a war. No one else on earth probably thought like Jefferson. But Madison made sure the citizens didn't vote on laws, didn't vote for The Executive, didn't vote for Judges. Madison only let the 'citizens', the raw uneducated of the land, as later presented by Whitman, be ruled, led, dictated to, by the educated, landowning, company running, intelligencia of the Nation, vote, execute the voted on laws, and the executive appoint the Judges, for life, without pay cuts, Jefferson said the Judges didn't even look like they live in our country, And they pitied their fate, and cursed their lives and maintained their self-pity while they beat slaves and women into tools for the use of the upper-class, pathetic people. Oh, happy days, oh, happy, happy days of whining, self-pity, resentful mankind. Sure hope we grow up a little now that we have stopped putting our hands on servants and wives. Maybe when the self-pity takes us into another war to cleanse our moral losses we can grow. The teenagers have to change an awful lot. High on the list I put the self-pity. 

The Power Struggle in the U.S.

 Mitch McConnel let sanctioned Russians build a spy factory in Ashland KY. It is still there and Putin is still it's master. Republicans keep America on the path to War and are supporting Trump's plan of foreign power, especially Russian, in the United States. Moscow Mitch, Trump & Putin are dangerous, wrong for America and American Democracy. Stand against the concentration of Communist Oligarch money and Capitalist Oligarch money to gain total Control of life and governments everywhere.

NYT Column asks, "Do we have the Supreme Cour We deserve. My Answer:

 No, we don't have the Supreme Court we deserve. But we do have the worst Supreme Court Money can buy. All things political are bought and sold today. The American Oligarchs are just not qualified to pick decent people to support the oligarchs stupid hopes of all the money and no taxes on all the money. The Supreme Court may well use Dred Scott as precedent for States Right to keep abortion if they want, like they permitted states to keep slavery if they wanted, It really is the Same Thing! Slavery by Court Fiat. Only the states get the blame and the Court lives, in infamy, forever.
