Perhaps this elder stateswoman should go back to grade 4.
A 10-year old boy wrote Virginia Foxx a letter as part of a school project. He had to write a persuasive essay and he chose tax credits for electric vehicles. The congresswoman responded by ripping him & his teacher.
Last night, voters retired Rep. Foxx.

I’m pleased to report that the 4 trustees who caused so much chaos for Mountain View School Division are no longer trustees. 2 did not run again, 2 were defeated. I look forward to boring Board meetings that actually accomplish what they are supposed to.

Imagine if Europe, in the days after 9/11, had cleared its throat and announced: We have struck a tremendous deal with Osama bin Laden. We have lifted the sanctions on his organization, so he is now free to trade on the open market and bankroll his war against the United States. Bush must step down. The man has no cards.
Has he even looked at his hand?
But no. Europe did nothing of the sort. Europe did not sit down with a mass murderer and come home gushing about what a strong and reasonable fellow he turned out to be.
Europe laced up its boots, flew to Afghanistan, stood shoulder to shoulder with the Americans and hunted that bearded wretch through every godforsaken mountain in the country, because that is what you do when a friend gets hit, and handing the attacker a shopping list while telling the victim to surrender is what you do when you have lost your mind.
Awful.
The mood in Ukraine is grim today. There's frustration and outrage here in Kyiv towards the Trump administration over what Ukraine's government, the troops and society believe is a deliberate attempt on the part of Washington to force Ukraine to capitulate to Russia – by withholding intelligence that allows early warning when Russian missiles are incoming, and cutting off Starlink to the military which needs it to strike and for defence against jet drones. These decisions cut intel sharing and restrict Starlink cost lives; at least 5 people killed in Kyiv, 6 more in Lutsk, dozens others badly injured.

Thumbs up to Carol Sanders of the Free Press for this hidden gem in an article about Obby Khan.

He's renaming Niagara Falls to The Fall of America. He's proud of that accomplishment.
I’m happy to see some “newsworthy” names not on this list.
There are some names (Mercier, Gryba) however that were in major leadership roles in the past few years. During that time, MVSD was in the news for plenty of wrong reasons..

Dolly Parton's passing is proving that if you spend your life being nice and kind and generous instead of mean and cruel and selfish, then apologists for mean cruel selfish bullies won't have to go around scolding people for cheering when you die, b/c there will be no cheering.
