‘We’re Paying People to Hate America’: Musk And Ramaswamy Blast Department of Education
Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and Twitter owner Elon Musk ripped the current education system in the United States Friday, saying that taxpayers were “paying people to hate America.”
Ramaswamy and Musk took part in a Twitter Spaces forum where Ramaswamy blasted the Department of Education for using funding as an incentive for schools to use certain theories in curricula. Ramaswamy outlined plans to shut down that department during a July 20 forum in New Hampshire.

Earlier in the forum, Ramaswamy and Musk discussed how the United States was dealing with an “entitlement” mentality and how “victimhood” made laziness acceptable.
The contents of school curricula became a hot-button political issue in 2021 as parents protested the use of Critical Race Theory (CRT), which holds that America is fundamentally racist, and teaches people to view every social interaction and person in terms of race. Parents across the country also raised objections to books with sexually explicit content in recent years, prompting some states to act to remove them from schools.
The Department of Justice came under fire after Attorney General Merrick Garland issued an Oct. 4, 2021 memo that formed a task force to investigate parents protesting mask mandates and the use of CRT in school curricula at school board meetings.

#2 Super Dave, There is nothing quite like the Oshkosh, Wisconsin air show if you are looking for anything that can fly, no matter how old or how odd. The museum building there is huge, as many of the planes are old enough to need to stay inside, and the ones parked outside fill quite a space around it. We’ve… Read more »

Official Houston high temp today reached 103°F.

Her Highness and I have to get a DPT booster since the last we had was 10 years ago this past winter. We have the new granddaughter coming in January.

Tedtam – I’ve got a “crockpot full” of pork loin roast in Nat freeze drying… Took it out of the crockpot last night after church, and broke it up into “bite-sized” pieces – was tired and cranky and by time I got it back into a bowl, I just stuck it in the fridge because I didn’t feel like messing… Read more »
I have Bluetooth headphones and this flight has screens. I may get to watch a moobie on the way home. It could suck more worserer.
#22 Bones, at least the Astros game will already be in progress – should you be required to go anywhere close to the Juice Box
Plane now scheduled to land at IAH at 1945 CDT. At least we miss pm rush hour.
Delay up to Wan howah.
Selling and manufacture of incandescent light bulbs become illegal tomorrow.
Except for appliance bulbs, heat lamps, and some other specialty bulbs.
40 minute delay so far. Waiting on the plane cleaning crew.
Well, Devon Archer didn’t commit Arkancide and made it to his testimony today.
From the reports I’ve seen so far, it was devastating for Biden Co.
Our trip to Angel Fire, NM, spoiled me. Like Bones’ trip, the highs were struggling to reach mid-70’s, lows in the 40’s – 50’s. Low humidity.
Coming back to the Texas blast furnace was an obligation, not a choice.
That’s good background, TP. Thanks. Points to the likelihood of a lot of embedded leverage in the system coming back out with a vengeance, and in ways we have yet to witness. This Yellow crash may be the early stages of that.
Bones –
Hubby and I took a trip to the Sea-Tac area years ago to visit his grandfather, Big Daddy-O. What a character! You are right, the area is beautiful, but I don’t think I could live there. Too much liberal, too much crazy.
I spent most of this morning moving jars of food. Hubby wants the stash moved out of the master bedroom so he can use the space for the cabinet work upcoming for the master bath. It gave me a chance to organize the jars, bags, and boxes better. And find that one jar that didn’t seal. That was one stinky… Read more »
We are at the SEA-TAC Airport waiting to board. I do not like the flying sardine can.
Lows for the trip were high 50s highs were high 70s. Crisp clean dry air, spectacular Cascades mountains, towering forest, Puget Sound, basically everything Houston is not.
This is a real headline:
Trans indigenous Canadian slams doctors for denying her euthanasia request, saying death would be better than her constant pain from a surgically-built vagina
How many levels of nested liberal craziness are in that one phrase?

That’s one of the uglier stories of corporate failure that I have read.
But if the principals made out with several million per year for a few years, they probably don’t see it that way.

The Texas Tribune has begun a three part series on the history of the Texas Attorney General’s office since the turn of the century.
You may not like the players involved, or some of the editorial slant, but it is a comprehensive review of how the office became a national player over the last 25 years.
I noticed Billy Cat spent a lot of time stretched out in the freshly mowed grass in my back yard yesterday. Not the first time I’ve seen that, but I like anything that keeps him in my yard longer. Morning, gang — another hot week, but I have finished my outdoor work.
