Forgetting Why
Because of Trump's "trade war" with Canada, Canada's Defense Minister says they're reviewing the purchase of F-35 jets. Not because they're not needed. Not because they're not good jets. Because they want to give Lockheed-Martin the middle finger ... because of Trump. Hey, it's not just Canada. It's everywhere. Why do we punish the children for the sins of the fathers ... so to speak? "Stick it to the Americans because we don't like their president!"
Oh, No! Not Again!
Another customer forgot that "hot tea" was ... hot, and sued Starbucks after he spilled his ... hot tea ... in his lap. He suffered "permanent and life-changing disfigurement" and won $50 million. Like that landmark suit from a McDonald's drive-through because the hot coffee was hot. Expect tepid tea and lukewarm coffee at double the price, I suppose.

A French politician has called for the return of the Statue of Liberty because "the United States no longer represents the values embodied by the monument." Of course, the U.S. admits more openly and generously than France, and France segregates immigrants while the U.S. does not, the real problem is that politicians are blowing out of proportion everything that Trump says or does. Let it go. He's no saint. He's only here for 4 years. Drop it. And ... no ... you're not getting that statue back.
We Don't Need No Education
Pink Floyd sang, "We don't need no education. We don't need no thought control." Trump ordered the dismantling of the Department of Education. With Harvard offering a remedial algebra class for their students and American kids reportedly falling behind, perhaps the Department of Education hasn't been doing its job. We need education (as "We don't need no education" proves -- very bad grammar), but we seem to have lost our recipe for educating kids. (Of course, I'm pretty sure the courts won't allow this to actually occur, so ...)
Oh, the Humanity!
A woman in Florida was trying to board a plane, but was refused boarding because she had a dog. So ... she drowned it in the airport bathroom. A felony, a fine, lots of outrage; we will not tolerate killing dogs. Unborn humans, on the other hand ...

It takes the Bee to point out that unelected officials continue to thwart the elected, as judges keep striking down Trump's agenda. In Chicago, a leftist smashed a Tesla after seeing the image of a fascist in the window. In Las Vegas, Teslas were shot and set on fire (actual story). Democrats blame climate change.
Must be true; I read it on the Internet.

If they want to cut their nose to spite their face, then that sucks for Lockheed I guess. Lucky for me, I don't have to defend anything Trump does because I didn't vote for him because I thought he'd be great for the country, but because I believed God wanted him their when He caused him to dodge a bullet, literally. But we you said, let's stack everyone because we don't like the orange Mussolini.
Oh No! Not Again!
So, because he spilled his hot tea in his lap, they have to pay for it? Maybe I could see it if they purposefully poured hot tea in him, but how on earth are they liable for what he does with his tea? Justice has no meaning anymore.

Doesn't the statue represent the peace between the US and France, when it was given? Sure, after the poem was added decades later, it has come to mean something else, but that's not why they gave it to us. If they want, they can have the poem back, even though that wasn't theirs in the first place.
We Don't Need No Education
The DoE over it's life has successfully exponentially grown the bureaucracy of schools, but has had no marked improvement on the actual education of students, the pay off teachers, or even the number of teachers. I saw a graph that showed that over the last couple years, the percentage of more teachers increased by 8%, but the increase of management level people in schools increased 37%. Anyone with any fiscal intelligence would see that the DoE has been a financial failure, not doing anything to significantly improve education. And since their purpose isn't to do anything with country wide education, but funding for special needs and adult education, they don't need such a huge number of people to do that job.
Oh, The Humanity!
That is some sociopathic behavior right there. Drowning your own dog is a bit crazy. But you're right, throw her in jail for life for killing her own dog, but applaud her for killing her own child. That's more insane.

This whole Tesla vandalism thing really shows how much they actually care about the environment.
The irony of “we don’t need no education” caught my eye and made me chuckle. It reminded me of this, which I just saw the other day:
Two Rights Make a Wrong
A linguistics professor was lecturing his class.
“In English,” he explained, “a double negative forms a positive. In some languages, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative.”
“However,” the professor continued, “there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative.”
A voice from the back of the room piped up. “Yeah, right.”
LOL!

Harm America because its president no longer wishes America to be the door mat of foreign countries. How dare anyone stick up for themselves against unjust, inequitable behavior? (I thought "equity" was important!)
Oh, No! Not Again!
Suing someone because they didn't know about and guard against your stupidity. These types of frivolous suits are won because a successful company can afford to pay. Worse than the plaintiff, is the judge or jury who rules in favor of the clumsy.

The French providing more content for mockery. Personally, I'm grateful.
We Don't Need No Education
"...we seem to have lost our recipe for educating kids."
An understatement of epic proportions, and a truly sad reality. The DOE, it seems, was never even intended to renew or improve that recipe, and its done absolutely nothing to ensure our kids are actually educated.
Oh, the Humanity!
Did anyone consider a psych evaluation for this person?
Strangely enough, massive increases in spending on administrators doesn't cause education to improve by virtually any metric one chooses to measure by.
That same professor might have also said that sugar is the only word in the English language where “su” is pronounced “sh”--to which that same student might have replied, "Are you sure?"
In any event, some people say there ain’t nothing wrong with double negatives, but good writers know that using double negatives is a big no-no!
So, I guess Mick Jagger was satisfied, Elvis’ romantic rival was not a hound dog, there is sunshine for Bill Withers when she’s gone, and there is a mountain high enough in Motown!
I am sure that Stan is thinking, “Don’t nobody encourage her!” (see what I did there? ;)
