A little something you may not know,
California law says, “on or before the next business day after a determination that a voter’s signature does not compare pursuant to subdivision (c), but not later than eight days prior to the certification of the election, the elections official shall send by first-class mail notice to the voter of the opportunity to verify the voter’s signature no later than 5 p.m. two days prior to the certification of the election. The notice shall include a return envelope, with postage paid, for the voter to return a signature verification statement.”
For mail in ballots, “California law says, “The signature verification statement must be received by the elections official of the county where you are registered to vote no later than 5 p.m. two days prior to certification of the election.”

An what might the reason for that be ? ? ?
“Nancy Pelosi’s daughter said she was ‘curing’ ballots in a California congressional district where the Republican candidate saw his lead drop by hundreds of votes in recent days.” …

“Ballot ‘curing’ refers to the process of allowing voters the chance to fix minor errors with their mail-in ballots to avoid them being discarded.”

California state law allows counties to count and cure and count ballots for president and vice president thru December 03, 2024, all other contests and races thru December 06, 2024, and until December 13, 2024 to be certified by the California Secretary of State.

It’s fairly clear that the democrats believe in chearing the ballot box.they’re against anyone having to prove their Identity or that they’re a US citizen, and they don’t want the voter rolls cleaned up from people who are not entitled to vote, including the dead. They also don’t believe in the deadline for boats to come in. They want to be able to stir up extra votes after the fact if their candidate is not winning. It’s so obvious so apparent!
Their dishonesty knows no bounds. In fact, it is exceeded only by their hypocrisy. And the really ironic part is that they swear up and down that it is the other side that is a “threat to democracy”. Well, fortunately enough Americans have caught on and no longer believe anything they say.

Anyone here play Trump’s “The Art of the Deal” game? I bought it for friends for Christmas in 1990. They always seem to win at Monopoly but Trump’s game required skill not chance so I bet them every time. I don’t recall much about the game but it did involve basic business sense.
Biden 2028!!! Bring back democracy!!!
Still a better choice the Harris or Newscum!
being a skeleton is not a qualification
Trump hasn’t even become president yet, and the brainwashed ones say he’s already destroyed ‘democracy’.
Didn’t we just have an election? You know, the basis for a democracy.
As for casting your vote for Biden in ’28, be my guest. Maybe they’ll have a cure for dementia by then.
But I really think that you can’t be so thick and are just trying to troll the board.
After watching his picks, I’m starting to understand how he bankrupted all of those casinos.

As opposed to WW3, hyper inflation, and a transvestite run government, I couldn’t be happier. Now let’s get these illegals out and start progect 25.
That’s right, Paul….Trump’s hiring and Harris isn’t. Thanks for the re-cap.
Poor widdle Paul continues to cry.
We’ll just sit back and watch you whine about the GOP having the presidency, the Senate, the House and a conservative SCOTUS.
Typical – still trying to figure out which bathroom to use. Obviously the democrats are completely inept and unable to lead a country.
Pedo joe and Harris the ho? Along with nutjobs in his administration who were hired based solely on check-the-box “qualifications.”
Keep crying, Karen.
Your wailing has solved the drought.
And all of his nominees are eminently more qualified than ANY of the Biden administration’s array of check-the-box appointees and employees – including the word salad princess.
you seem jealous…
Here we go again, EGG SHORTAGE . . . . . .
.
“More than 40% of the nation’s roughly 300 million egg-laying hens are raised in cage-free facilities, but roughly 60% of ‘bird flu’ cases recently detected involved cage-free farms,” the report continued. There have been outbreaks recently in Utah, Oregon, California, and Washington, per Emily Metz, who is the chief executive and president of the American Egg Board.
.
She added that the reports of shortages are coming from grocery stores such as Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s. Meanwhile, shortages related to the virus have caused egg prices to rise, and experts predict the cost may remain high into 2025.”

Do you vaguely remember voting for Prop 12 back in 2018 ? ?
$13,267,245.55 was spent to get voters to approve.
If you dig deep enough you’ll be real surprised where most of the money came from.
.
So what if eggs cost $7 or $8 dozen ? ? ?
Can you imagine all those fools ( many still living in mommy’s basement ) who sent the Harris campaign $5, 10, 20+ only to find out it went to greedy people like Ophra, oh sorry Harpo Prosuctions, AL Sharpton, Beyonce etc…Now Camela is partying it up in Hawaii with brother Barry & sister Ophra. Life is good when you are a Democrat partying on other people’s money.
Dr OZ is unethical, and immoral. On his TV show, Dr Oz pushed
countless dietary supplements, promising miraculous results.
This suggests to me that he cannot be trusted, and will take
money from special interest groups. He will in all likelihood sell his
soul to the devil if the price was right. I cannot imagine why Trump
would appoint such an unscrupulous quack.
On behalf of “unscrupulous quacks” I take offense at that comment.
When he was in high school, Trump attended a military academy in New York.
He was not a draft dodger. Trump was rejected by the Army due to the bone
spurs on his heel and was medically exempt from the military. It wasn’t uncommon
during the Vietnam War era for the military to reject draftees with a medical condition.
Students, and married men with a child, were also given an exemption.
You may have a short memory, but before Trump took office, ISIS was chopping
the heads off of American citizens, and North Korea was launching missiles over
Japan. Towards the end of his presidency, he was bringing peace in the Middle East,
and was negotiating a peace deal with Iran. The kool aid drinkers are the Dems that
believe the fake news, and the liberal BS on Google and Wikipedia. You know, the
ones that cannot think for themselves, and let the BS media tell them how to think.
A person that has the ability to actually think will see that everything Trump does,
and everybody he appoints for his cabinet, is criticized by the media. It doesn’t
matter what he does, or who he appoints, he will be criticized for it. They never
have anything positive to say. That should be your first clue that they are lying.
They have been trying to destroy him from the beginning, and he comes back
fighting and stronger, never giving up. Yes, that is the kind of president we want
leading our country.

Tell us how tariffs work. We voted for Trump to get the illegals out and implement project 25. You sound like you really understand tariffs and how they relate to the price of eggs.

NOTICE TO CITY OF CONCORD
Defying Trump’s Deportation Efforts Is ‘A Form of Insurrection’.
I expect a full reversal of CITY OF CONCORD sanctuary city policies immediately. Do not expect gavin newsom to protect to on this. MAGA WON in a landslide with a mandate, illegals must be deported and any government official standing in the way is guilty of treason.
MAGA SAM,
.
When the Concord City Council adopted the City of Concord’s “Sanctuary City” policies they chose not to adopt the name “Sanctuary City” as a part of those policies, so that they can still claim that Concord isn’t a “Sanctuary City.”
I vaguely remember that. The policies are the same and everyone knows it is a sanctuary city. It’s the difference between murder and homicide.

Came across another spot on article by Katy Grimes CA Globe, on His Imperial Majesty Emperor newsom and his small child in candy isle laying on the floor having a melt down.
.
“A California newspaper on Monday asked Is California’s battle against Trump a PR stunt?
.
The easy answer is YES. The legacy media up and down the state will cover California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s claims that he will fight and sue Trump over any policies the Republican President endorses that conflict with Newsom’s and California’s radical leftist ideology.
.
Voters and residents aren’t interested in Gavin Newsom’s PR stunts, proclamations, threats and hyperbole – voters and residents want a governor to run the state efficiently and effectively… something Gavin Newsom has demonstrated he is incapable of doing. So he turns to PR stunts, hyperbole and bravado.”

Letter from George Washington to Joshua Holmes, 2 December 1783.
…The bosom of America is open to receive not only the opulent & respectable Stranger, but the oppressed & persecuted of all Nations & Religions; whom we shall wellcome to a participation of all our rights & previleges, if by decency & propriety of conduct they appear to merit the enjoyment.
Go: Washington
“…if by decency and propriety of conduct…”
These words alone disqualify the illegal alien. You are neither decent nor of good conduct when your first act of stepping across the border is to break the law.
I’d think a learned teacher such as you would be able to parse this sentence. Nice try.
I posted this quote without context because I knew it would make someone mad.
Nobody wants to discuss politics here; it is a place where people can act like children and feel good about themselves. It is pretty laughable and also a testament to the sad state of civil discourse.
Here is the letter in its entirety:
To the Members of the Volunteer Associations & other Inhabitants of the Kingdom of Ireland who have recently arrived in the City of New York.
2 December 1783
Gentlemen
The testimony of your satisfaction at the glorious termination of the late contest, and your indulgent opinion of my Agency in it, afford me singular pleasure & merit my warmest acknowledgments.
If the Example of the Americans successfully contending in the Cause of Freedom, can be of any use to other Nations; we shall have an additional Motive for rejoycing at so prosperous an Event.
It was not an uninteresting consideration, to learn, that the Kingdom of Ireland, by bold & manly conduct had obtained redress of many of its greivances—and it is much to be wished, that the blessings of equal Liberty & unrestrained Commerce may yet prevail more extensively in the Mean time, you may be assured, Gentlemen, that the Hospitality & Benificence of your Countrymen, to our Brethren who have been Prisoners of War, are neither unknown, or unregarded.
The bosom of America is open to receive not only the opulent & respectable Stranger, but the oppressed & persecuted of all Nations & Religions; whom we shall wellcome to a participation of all our rights & previleges, if by decency & propriety of conduct they appear to merit the enjoyment.
Go: Washington

I understand it might be a little nuanced for most, but I leave it here for anyone who wants to think.
It’s a felony to obstruct the federal government deportation operations. Who cares what george washington said. Way to spew words out of context. Besides, trying to get your numbers up and build a country is much the same as being invaded. The difference is we contributed, illegals just take. Get your head right. This is why parents want their kids away from you
I did not mention anything about deportations at all. In my classroom, students read the Constitution and learn the basics of government checks and balances, the rule of law, and many other California government standards. I hope my students leave my class with an understanding and a love for the promises of the Constitution and the founding era and understand that they are part of this nation and the brilliance that it is and it can be.
My students are not disappearing; parents enjoy their students’ education in my classroom because it is unbiased, and I encourage differences of opinion and civil discourse around our differences.
But you do you and stay mad for no reason at all.
“you do you and stay mad” spoken like a adolescent brained teacher. Tell me, do all teachers think they are teenagers still and act like their students? Or do you ever grow up? I’m not mad, I just find your posts boring and always left leaning. Trying to sound smart about things that have no relevance. Pretending you are not a lefty while is disingenuous. Therefore you’re a con job and a liar. It’s too bad you couldn’t just be honest for once in your life and maybe you’d get a little respect. You voted for harris, admit it
Anyone can (and will) claim that they’re unbiased. That doesn’t mean a thing.
Based on personal knowledge, I would say that the majority of teachers in MDUSD (and administrators) are leftists and have been since the 1980s (that I know of) to varying degrees.
I have email responses from the 1990s that illustrate that perfectly.
No anger here, just pointing out that posting a partial quote or piece of someone’s letter without context is confusing at best: disingenuous and self serving at the least.
The Teacher leans left.
As Phyllis Rose said…. “There is no neutrality. There is only greater or lesser awareness of one’s bias”.
MDUSD Teacher,
.
If that’s how you feel about the people who post comments here, then why is it that you keep coming back here to post more comments?
.
Do you also teach the same way that you post comments here, with incomplete and out of context information?
.
You enjoy angering other individuals on purpose, call their responses “laughable” and say they “act like children,” then you attempt to take the moral high ground about the “sad state of civil discourse.” All while you “acted like a child” with your “laughable” comments because it made you “feel good” about yourself.
Of course that’s how she teaches. But I’m really enjoying watching the MDUSD be exposed for the world to see. Calling other people children while acting like a complete child is par for the course with these people. Definitely noticing how people who choose teaching for a career, typically act like the students they teach. I don’t know if it’s good for young people to be exposed to the toxicity perpetuated by gaslighting teenage girls in adult bodies in positions of authority. Teachers have too much responsibility in the outcome of lives to be having these character flaws.
“Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor– and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.
Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be– That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks–for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation–for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war–for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed–for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted–for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.
And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions– to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually–to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed–to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord–To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us–and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.”
— George Washington, 1789

Hello folks, well it appears that Gavin Newsom and his self appointed grifters at the P.U.C. are at it again with PG&E requesting yet another utility rate hike to all of us. This would be the fifth one this year if approved. Something tells me he is a primary stockholder in PG&E. By the way he and his family just purchased a 9.1million dollar mansion in Marin. While he continues his money grabs from us we shall not fret, because California and the majority of Americans are changing course from his and the Biden administrations dastardly deeds. I am proud to be an American again. Happy Holidays folks!
The California government promised that consumers would not have to pay for PG&Es’ unconscionable murderous money grubbing business practices. Again(and again and again and again….) the California democrat government are liars. Greasy Gavin is the perfect example of the corrupt self serving out of touch government liars.
