Why Not Use Baskets For Grocery Shopping? What Would Donald Trump Do?




It is reassuring to know this is the only person who will not shop in Cambridge after the progressive compassionate city council bag tax. Everyone else will gladly pay ten cents extra for each bag. Only rich and wealthy people shop in Cambridge. They eagerly give away money they do not need. Now that Cambridge is the academic enclave created by the repeal of rent control, only rich people will live in Cambridge. Useless eater parasites who cannot afford to live in Cambridge should move out.

20 cities have plastic bag bans. 331 in Massachusetts alone, do not. Trump won Massachusetts by a large majority. Only a minority supports a plastic bag ban. In Massachusetts minorities rule. Diversity knows best. Trump will obviously win this one. Free bags for poor shoppers. Vote Trump.

South Shore towns going slow on plastic bag bans
As a bill to set a statewide ban on the bags moves slowly through the Legislature, Hingham and other towns are still talking about the idea. Across the state, 20 communities have their own bans, none of them on the South Shore.

Muslim Parents In N.J. Demand School Closing For Holiday, "We will be the majority soon."




[From article]
The Blaze reported:
The Jersey City Board of Education voted last week not to close schools for the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, one of the most important holidays for Muslims.
School board members in New Jersey made their decision Thursday despite appeals from Muslim attendees who showed up to advocate that the board change the school schedule.
At one point, things became so heated that an official urged security to “take charge” of the situation. At least one person was seen on video being escorted from the meeting.
“We feel alienated from the Board of Education, we feel alienated from this system,” Omar Abouelkhair told WNBC-TV.
“We’re going to be the majority soon,” another said.

Majority Of Public School Students Poor




[From article]
For the first time in at least 50 years, a majority of U.S. public school students come from low-income families, according to a new analysis of 2013 federal data, a statistic that has profound implications for the nation.
The Southern Education Foundation reports that 51 percent of students in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade were eligible under the federal program for free and reduced-price lunches in the 2012-2013 school year. The lunch program is a rough proxy for poverty, but the explosion in the number of needy children in the nation’s public classrooms is a recent phenomenon that has been gaining attention among educators, public officials and researchers.

PA School Is Majority Minority. New Terms Needed?




Whites have been a minority in the world for many years. Latest is 16 percent of world population is white. 

[From article]
For the first time, U.S. public schools are projected to have more minority students than non-Hispanic whites, a shift largely fueled by growth in the number of Hispanic children.
Non-Hispanic white students are still expected to be the largest racial group in the public schools this year at 49.8 percent. But according to the National Center for Education Statistics, minority students, when added together, will now make up the majority.

Democracy Is Not The Democratic Process

Democracy also excludes tyranny by a minority, a concept foreign to the Obama administration. The President believed that "He won." and the opposition should stop opposing his ideas. The situation in Pakistan is not unique. One writer observed that too many activists confuse the democratic process with democracy.

[From article]
"True democracy is based on the premise that minorities will be protected from "the tyranny of the majority" -- not on the idea that the majority population gets whatever it wants.
[. . .]
Human-rights groups report that Christians in Pakistan are converting to Islam out of fear for their lives."

The People's Veto

The People's Veto


"If we have learned anything in the last few months, it is that votes can be bought pretty easily when you are spending the taxpayers’ money rather than your own.
And what if there had not been a special election in Massachusetts this month? Then how would Congress and President Obama have gotten the message from the people? They don’t seem to pay attention to letters from their constituents or phone calls (“We’re sorry, but the voice mailbox of the person you are calling is full.”) They didn’t pay attention to more than a million people who marched on Washington in September (“That looks more like 30,000 people to me!”). And they didn’t pay attention to the fact that NOT EVEN ONE Republican would support the bill in the Senate (so much for Obama’s promise to end the partisan rancor in Washington).
[. . .]
The question the American public needs to have answered once and for all is: “Can you hear us now?”
[. . .]

The question that remains to be answered is whether there is any wisdom in Congress."
