"Stromy" Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin Clash Over School Choice and Vouchers To Escape Failing Public Schools Thanks to the Teachers' Unionsx ecjpover ClashFARAHHostinCh

 

Stormy Hostin a leftist mother of 2 grown kids and Alyssa Farah Griffin an outnumbered Red mother of 3 on the View
On the issue of school choice and vouchers not favored by the liberal Teachers’ Unions and a minority few
It takes a distorter of the truth to make a purse out of a sow’s ear
That public urban school education is an experience to be praised not feared
Stormy oblivious to the fact that large numbers of kids are below reading, English, math and science levels in public schools
Dropping out in huge numbers or graduating with a diploma high school useful only to a prospective employer to fool
Worse ignoring the fact that without charter schools and school choice kids are on a path not to success but to fail
A life of dead end jobs paying minimum wage or path to prison after learning useful crime skills in jail
Stormy with her winds of bias was trying to blow Griffin away
Despite Stormy’s ignorant rants Griffin as the lone Red won the fray
She argued school choice and vouchers enable students to escape a failing school
Not said but implied was that anyone who believes Teachers Unions are there supporting kids’ chances of success is a fool
As Behar tried to calm the “stormy” waters by saying “We all hate that Trump won”
But her claim diversity is valued on The View fell on deaf viewers ears when the leftists out number a conservative 4 to 1

As Blues Dig In Their Heels To Fight Trump's Deportation of Illegals Plan, Tom Homan Name By Trump As His Border Czar

 

11 appropriations’ bill have gone through committees after being subjected to debate and amendments
Save for one which to fund the CBP which Blues want to pass without debating or amending with insufficient funds to secure the border and needed deportations implement
Schumer is working to ignore the overwhelming majority of the voters who backed the Trump agenda which calls for massive deportations
Evidently he does not believe the warning that without a secure border to prevent millions of unvetted illegal aliens to enter that you do not have a nation
Even though Trump continued to garner an increasing number of Latino voters Schumer must still believe
With the some 20 million illegals admitted under Biden when they start voting a permanent Blue majority the Blues will achieve
Trump believes in lawful immigration which allows immigrants with needed skills and capital to be admitted
Who will also enjoy being able to achieve and assist other to achieve the American Dream and welcome being assimilated
Tom Homan who was named by Trump as this nation’s Border Czar
Who will not ape Harris’ total MIA who did squat to illegal immigration hinder or bar
He will have his hands full as Blue Governors and Mayors and members of Congress have announced plans to fight deportation tooth and nail
Unlike Majorkas and Harris who lied border was secure, he has announced “Game’s on” and will not fail
As illegals are deported Americans tired of seeing their cities overrun and their social safety net in shreds
Should see some relief as crimes are reduced and funds which are a magnet for illegal immigration are diverted to needy Americans instead

The Staffers of Morning Joe aka "Mainly Slanted Narcistic Biased Crybabies" Were Lashing Out at Trump meeting with Joe and Mika

 

The staffers of Morning Joe” have validated MSNBC’s acronym of “Mainly Slanted Narcistic Biased Crybabies” lashing out at the meeting of Joe and Mika with Trump
With their closed minds unable to end their resistance and demeaning of him and his supporters and vowing to go to any means to force his agenda into a trash dump
TDS Stage 4 has so poisoned their minds any hint of a compromise to meet the needs of Americans in their sick state is a mortal sin
With Harris trying but failing to run away from her record riding the one trick pony of abortion and lying about Trumps views no wonder for Trump a landslide win
The pathetic crybabies were not alone as radical leftists joined the chorus to condemn and vehemently rail
Against Joe and Mika meeting with Trump to discuss issues facing us when they should be 24/7 trying to Trump’s agenda derail
What MSNBC and the MSM so blinded and deafened by the Trump voter landslide
Fail to see is that voters rejected the Blues’ Progressive shift and their bashing Trump and his voters will cause their ratings to slide
With fewer viewers their ad revenues will soon drop
And to the joy of conservatives rabid biased “journalists” like Reid, Tur, and Madow will be on the chopping block

Will It Be Payback Time For the 1982 The Play at The Big Game on November 23, 2024 at 12:30 P.M.

 

Payback for The Play 1982 Big Game

In years past the Big Game in some years has become just another game

Either one or both teams have non-winning records so a win will not add to their fame or a loss condemnation further add or tame

This year Stanford goes to the Big Game 3-7 and Cal 5-5

After losing to Syracuse 33-25 needing 1 more win to keep a bowl appearance dream alive

Back in 1982 Stanford with Elway who had never in a bowl game played

Needed a win to clinch a Hall of Fame Bowl invite whose representatives were in the Cal Stadium that day

Cal was leading Stanford late in the 4^th quarter but Elway was leading the Cardinal into field goal range

With 8 seconds left Stanford kicked a field goal with 4 seconds left causing the Stanford Band, fans and players an over exuberant celebration to stage

Moving the kickoff 15 yards further back

Making it impossible to kick it out of the endzone for a touchback

A squib  kick that was handled then the first of 5 laterals began

Cal players were tackled but lateraled “before” they hit the ground as the ball advanced toward the Stanford Band

To this day Stanford alums believe the laterals were forward or after a Cal player hit the ground

But all the instant replay slow motion video cams they have today were not to found

Fearing a riot if the TD call was reversed the refs let it stand

So The Play became and will remain forever as the greatest football play of all time in this land

But in this Saturday’s Big Game Cal will face a well-deserved pay back

Defeating Cal will almost certainly remove them from the Bowl game track

Not a chance they will beat the Mustangs of SMU

So their football season like Stanford’s will be through

Cardinal fans cheering the adage the wheels of justice may move slowly but they move

As an upset win by Stanford this Saturday will without doubt prove

Join us in Yorba Linda at 12:30 P.M. at the Lone Wolf Brewing Company 18210 Yorba Linda Boulevard

As Stanford wins its second game in a row removing the long lasting pain of the Play from the Card

Upset Win for Stanford Against Heavily Favored Louisville Cardinals With 51 Yard Field Goal to End Game

 

In the battle of the color versus the birds it looked like Stanford for the 7^th time would not prevail
But with time running  out with a 4^th and 1 Lamson tossed a  TD pass with 45 seconds left to an overtime game hopefully nail
A Stanford kickoff with a Cardinals runback brought the ball to the Cardinals 19
3 completed Cardinals’ passes moved it to the Stanford 45
Another 10 yards and a field goal would the Cardinal’s upset hopes deprive
But the Cardinal defense defeathered the Cardinals receivers’ wings
4 incomplete passes and with 10 seconds left the 4^th would a change of possession bring
Daniels hit Mossley for a first down and he went out of bounds at the Cardinals’ 46
But a Cardinals defender was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct moving the ball to the 39 enabling a field goal attempt rather than a Hail Mary 6
Just before the ball was snapped to be kicked through the goal posts 57 yards away
A Cardinals lineman jumped offsides moving the ball 5 yards closer and the score board would soon a winning 3 points now display
3 wins for the season and a boost to propel the Cardinal to a win over Cal in the Big Game
Who in order to be bowl eligible must win against Stanford or SMU or its bowl hopes go down in flames

Gratitude and Thanks at a Pre-Thanksgiving Potluck Turkey Dinner at Playport Mobil Village

 

A Lot To Be Thankful For In Thanksgiving 2024

 

The first 4 years the Pilgrims after surviving a 2 month long voyage across dangerous seas
Endured freezing weather, stained relations with certain tribes, threats of starvation and deadly disease
But warmed and strengthened by their faith and the Wampanoag’s farming aid
A failure to establish the colony and retreat by the few remaining survivors were able to evade
Though nowhere near the difficulty the Pilgrims faced
The last four years have been hard with job losses and inflation seeking to savings erase
The economic winters of despair are melting fast and the light at the end of the tunnel shines
Today truly a time for Thanksgiving for the bounty of material goods
And the fact that the fears of recession and the beasts of inflation we have withstood
With our freedoms to worship as we see fit despite our divisiveness still intact
And when it comes to disasters our wallets and purses opened to those victims who all manner of security now lack
We are still a deeply divided nation
And the plague of ad hominem attacks merits our condemnation
But today we know it is hard to assail a neighbor with a mouth full of turkey
As the tranquil and calming effects of tryptophan we will soon see
A time to be thankful and full of gratitude with the ability during the Holidays to it share
Even on Black Friday when the cries of frustrated shoppers tend to fill the air
To Playport for its support of this feast--turkey leg salutes and cheers
And kudos also to our pot luck providers and the efforts of this event’s volunteers

How to Add to Viewing Parties When Your Team Lost 6 in a Row

 

We may not be known as the “Stanford Fabulous Five”
Because we can’t dunk or to the basket drive
Or as a receiving corps make the one handed football catch
Or as linemen making running back holes the defense could not patch
But as TV viewers Malek, Motoshige, Pierce, Ridley and Swan
Could keep the upset dream alive so the end to the losing streak would on the football team don
So easy to this group of dreamers, prayers, and bastions of hope scale
Joining next viewing party at Muldoon’s against the Cardinals is all that is entailed
Followed by Big Game in the confines of the Lone Wolf’s cuisine and ales
To end the season with a viewing party win against San Jose State not a loss so the light at the end of the tunnel does not fail
Start the addition on Seniors’ Day to expand fans and viewers past the number of the Immortals
So more athletic stars will be coming through to Stanford than leaving the football portal
