My staff is hearing reports from Head Start programs in Oregon that they're still locked out of federal funds. My office is doing everything it can to get more info and get funds flowing before providers have to start closing their doors.

Look forward to riots and a ceasefire by Hamas over this insane solution to a cultural problem; Palestinians believe they own Israel as well as Gaza and the West Bank. So how does clearing these people out protect Israel, get the hostages home and provide a state for Palestinians Arabs?

Standard Conservative Republican tactic is to state that they need everything on the tape for context. Thus they can honestly state that Durban was politicizing the call by just stating that quote. That was Trumps methodology about that and the perfect call to Ukraine

Thank you, President Biden for everything you've done for this country. While many may have taken your efforts for granted, I recognize all of your accomplishments. Although Trump may try to take credit for the economy you rebuilt, those who have paid attention will remember the truth.

Trump falsely links New Orleans terror attack to migrants after erroneous Fox News report | CNN Business ο»ΏAn erroneous early Fox News report about the New Orleans terror attack is warping the political dialogue in the aftermath of the deadly rampage.

"The false report from Fox, which was attributed to anonymous sources, confused the public – and evidently Trump too. The misinformation is still circulating a day later – serving as a cautionary tale about the news ecosystem as the new year begins."

All the bellicose rhetorical gestures about Panama, Greenland, and Canada are what Pat Moynihan called β€œboob bait for Bubba,” tough-sounding nonsense to disguise a Trump foreign policy of retreat and appeasement.

Kabbalah is a Jewish mystery cult begun in Sadat, Israel which has a relationship to Zoroastrian practices. It entails trances to reach the light. We’re warned that only people who understand Judaism as adults should study it. The Christian practitioners have bastardized it.

It was assigned in my anthropology program at Tulane in the mid 1970s. If I remember, all the philosophers and theoretical authors were taught both in undergraduate and graduate school without a discussion about their personal backgrounds.

Do I contact local universities in the Washington, DC area to see if they need volunteers or do I try to reach the Director of the Anthropology Department at the Smithsonian?

I attended Tulane University and interned with MARI. Congratulations on 100 years of research including Uaxactun, Dzibilshaltun, Victoria Bricker’s wonderful work with the Tzotal and Tzeltal communities and my advisor, Dr Edmundson’s work on Mayan mythology and symbolism. I graduated in 1977.

Psuedoachaeologists have adopted the same playbook used by climate deniers. It doesn’t work. Bullies never win against scientists who stand up to them.

Can they really strip responsibilities from duly elected officials? These are things that would make NC a single party state that blocks anything that opposes Republican dictats.
