Pro Tip for Remote Schooling
Many students — and their parents — have been caught off guard by the COVID-induced transition from on-site schooling to remote schooling. However, there is a technology — which many students already have access to — that can help make up for the loss of classroom teaching time. Let me describe what it is, and how it works.

We Are At War To Be ‘We The People’ Again

Radical Leftist Professors Worry Online Learning Lectures Will End up On Right-Wing Web Sites
I’d like to thank Emily Farris. Who’s that? She is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Texas Christian University. She is concerned that recoded lectures on anything controversial could end up on web sites like GraniteGrok. Capital Idea!
The Most Important Thing We Can Do is Learn from This Outbreak
Applying a smidgen of logic to what we have already observed will go a long way towards understanding the ‘real’ Coronavirus. While many ‘experts’ contend doom and gloom are around every corner, I prefer to let common sense take over.
Ed-icaid: A Better Word for the Failed Government Monopoly on Education?
The government-run public school experiment has failed. Costs are out of control, and most of the money is spent on overhead, in other words, typical of government interventions. We’re wasting millions annually, at every opportunity, to pay staff and managers who have nothing to do with teaching.

But how much more?
So kids, what did we learn from Thursday’s House Session (Morning: 02/20/20)?
We learned that in the morning some very good things took place. So I will start with that. The Merrimack Delegation stood together to honor the late Hon. Pete Batula. He was a good man.

Brilliant! Team Trump Twitter Video Takes Nancy and Her Speech Tearing Antics to the Wood Shed
My first take on the State of the Union was that Nancy screwed up. Tearing up the speech was terrible optics. A speech loaded with good news (in particular) for women and minorities. Pelosi tore it up and team Trump is making Democrats pay a price.
