Trying to imagine being a fed. worker and being asked to send such a silly report for the week. So, here's mine as a retired educator, @elonmusk

If my mama wrote a message to me like Pete Hegseth’s mom wrote to him, her words would stand from then on. She might have forgiven me later but the meaning of what she wrote would not change. Just sayin’

Couldn't say it any better myself. Seems that the problem isn't kids having access to sacred books because it's all out there on internet. The problem is making a book (library of religious books AKA Bible) into a political tool.
I’m Muslim. If somebody tried to bring the Quran into my children’s public schools, I would fiercely oppose it. Not only out of respect for other people’s faiths (or lack thereof) but also because making religion a political instrument corrupts faith

Email to AR senators: Do not give your authority to Donald J. Trump! Do not allow him to make cabinet recess appointments!
Original bid request for 55,000 Bible to place in Oklahoma classrooms would have accepted only leather-like material that also contain the Pledge of Allegiance, Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights and Constitution. oklahomavoice.com/briefs/okl… via @Oklahoma_Voice

I wonder if we're going to find a friend of our gov. benefiting from the sale of the property for this prison or that there's some other benefit to a person of power? I'm ashamed that this thought comes to mind.
I wonder why there’s been no mention of the Criminal Detention Facilities Review Committee regarding the Governor’s decision to build a prison in Franklin County. The District 4 Committee is required by law to advise government officials on such plans and review and approve them.

Imagine a presidential candidate stoking election fear and suspicion rather than trying to increase his votes. Wonder why he would do that?

I think my mama would spank me if I repeated what JD Vance said in his rally today with youngsters present. Guess pollsters told him to say “bullshit” more. I think he already had it covered.

After reading a message by Joe Rigney explaining that Christians should vote Republican, I reached a different conclusion.
My reasoning: 1) Because I feel gratitude for my country and our system of government and seek to love my neighbors...
More than 3 million to make a political statement with a book that is available online any day and any time.
Ryan Walters always the grift, the lie, and the con. “One Bible fits perfectly… the Trump Bible. They cost $60 each online, with Trump receiving fees for his endorsement. If the Bibles cost $60 each, and the state buys 55,000, that’s $3.3 million.” oklahomawatch.org/2024/10/03…
Wish U.S. Rep. Bruce Westerman would speak with regular words instead of political talking points. Kinda sad.

The Bible and Quran are both loaded with violent commands. Religions go through what the author calls a "process of holy amnesia" and place less emphasis on their violent aspects. Of course, crazies can always resurrect violent passages when needed. npr.org/2010/03/18/124494788…
