Hollywood actress, age 33
As a precaution against the possibility of enemy Japanese bomber aircraft coming into American airspace from the Pacific, safety beacons normally used to direct night flights had been turned off, leaving the pilot and crew of the TWA flight without visual warnings of the mountains in their flight path. - Wikipedia

Here is a list of current officeholders in the USA who are members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), a political nonprofit organization, not a political party. DSA members and endorsees usually run as members of the Democratic Party, Green Party, Working Families Party, or as independents.

Jennifer Kim of the Small Business Administration testified before Congress. The Democrat bureaucrat answered no questions directly and showed his or her contempt of Congress in full. What have we got? DEI - diversity, equity, and inclusion. Nearly half of all working people are employed by a small business. Over 80% of small businesses have no staff, but 62 million people work in these settings. I owned a small business for three years.​

You are invited to play the new board game, Who’s the Liar?

The miniatures wear black and white stripes. As you flip the cards with questions, move your piece forward one space if you correctly answer a question. As with all board games, fun is the objective.

Pope Francis
Francis said he knew nothing about abusers Cardinal McCarrick and Bishop Gustavo Oscar Zanchetta. He gave Cardinal Danneels, cover-up expert, continued access to the Vatican. He made Fernando Vérgez Alzaga, L.C., into a cardinal, a man who is a member of the Legionaries of Christ and most certainly knew about Marcial Maciel. He allowed Cardinal Pell to be falsely accused. He failed to discipline Bishop Michael Hoeppner, who was sued for coercion. He reinstated Father Marko Rupnik despite his excommunication.

Trump
The Trump Organization has over 22,000 employees, and the company follows all the laws and regulations. He gave back his presidential salary to the government. Since entering politics, he might have lost money earned before entering politics. He supports law enforcement, the military, and his family. He
defends Christianity and chose a Catholic to be his running mate. A modernist nun I know called Trump a liar. If I asked her, “Can you name one lie?” the woman who follows opinions and dictates could not.

“The U.S. Navy has reached a settlement with sailors who filed a lawsuit over the service’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate, ending a nearly four-year saga that pitted Navy SEALs and other service members against their commander in chief.

“Under an agreement in the case announced Wednesday, Navy sailors who refused the vaccine for religious reasons can now have their records corrected and will be protected against discrimination on promotion boards for the next three years, according to their attorneys.

“
Promotion boards ‘must not consider any adverse information related solely to COVID-19 vaccine refusal in cases in which a religious accommodation was requested,’ according to a release from the First Liberty Institute, a nonprofit legal organization that defends religious liberties, and the law firm Hacker Stephens LLP.”
…
“Roughly 17,000 service members refused the vaccine, and more than 8,400 were discharged for their decision, including 3,717 Marines, 2,041 Navy sailors, 1,841 Army soldiers, and 834 Air Force and Space Force members.

England ICKSP

The archdiocese of Liverpool ejected the ICKSP from Wigan, England, over the Latin Mass as a result of Traditionis custodes. The ICKSP offered to buy the church property (St. Mary's) from the archdiocese. No deal.

Latin Mass churches typically bring in more money than the others. The ICKSP, FSSP, and SSPX send a portion of the Sunday collection to the order. Prelates were overheard, saying, "Let's apply a 'Shylockian' stranglehold." A stranglehold is illegal in wrestling.

Implausible? Pray for me if convinced my blog is in a stranglehold and my brain lacks oxygen, but know this: I routinely do a short examination of conscience, the long version of which is in the 1962 Missal, pp 1793-1798.

Jacob talks about the different levels of serving.
In its essentials, the Latin Mass traces its roots to the Last Supper, takes its form under Pope St. Victor I (A.D. 189-199), and is in 
Greek or Greek and Latin. By 300, the Mass is entirely in Latin.
Recall that in 382 Pope St. Damasus I commissioned Jerome, the leading biblical scholar, to produce a more acceptable Latin version of the Bible from the various translations then in use.
​The Council of Trent reaffirmed.

1994 Harris takes a leave of absence from her job as a deputy district attorney in Alameda County when Willie Brown, Democratic Speaker of the California State Assembly, appoints her to the California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board, a position that pays $97,000 annually.

1994-1998 Five months later, Harris resigns from the insurance board, and Brown appoints her to the California Medical Assistance Commission, a position that pays over $70,000 annually.

The medical commission met twice a month, and Harris missed about 20% of the meetings each year, according to commission records. The seven-member board was largely comprised of late-career former state officials who were semi-retired or biding their time before retirement. At 30, Harris was the youngest appointee by some 30 years.

  • Brown was mayor of San Francisco 1996-2004.
  • He lives in a suite in a high-rise in SF. I met him once.
  • A practicing lawyer for less than 10 years, his est. net worth is $70M.
  • A middle school in SF is named after him. I was a substitute there.
  • Current California State Assembly: 40 Democrats/12 Republicans
  • Current California State Senate: 32 Democrats/8 Republicans
  • ​Democrats dominate the state and San Francisco.
  • Both state and city are a financial mess.

college degree

7/25/2024

During the hiring process, 66% of business leaders say they highly value whether a candidate has a bachelor’s degree, and 31% say they value it somewhat.

However, when considering the practical skills and experience needed for job performance, 77% of business leaders state their company is very likely (27%) or likely (50%) to favor experience over college education.

This shift highlights a growing recognition of the value of hands-on experience and practical knowledge in the workplace.

nuclear button

7/23/2024

One must wonder, as the months and months have rolled by, who had a finger on the "nuclear button", a figurative term, and who does now? Who is singular and plural, but the commander-in-chief makes the final decision in a time of war.

Article I, Section 8, Clause 11: [The Congress shall have Power . . . ] To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water; . . .

"...These cases settled whether a state of war could exist without a formal declaration by Congress. When hostile action is taken against the Nation or against its citizens or commerce, the President may resort to force in response.

"But whether the Constitution empowers the President to commit troops abroad to further national interests absent a declaration of war or specific congressional authorization short of such a declaration has been controversial.21

"The Supreme Court has not addressed this issue22 and lower courts have generally not adjudicated the matter on political question grounds.23 Absent judicial guidance, Congress and the President have had to reach accommodations with each other."24

Grading for Equity

7/21/2024

0 Comments

 
California parents need to know about the new grading system, scheduled to go into effect in the coming school year. Dublin is in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Feldman is wrong. Teachers have access to homework plagiarism checks, a smart teacher knows when a tutor has written an essay and not the student, working with another student might actually help, and one cannot copy an essay. If a math student copies answers, he or she will flunk the test in a normative class. I never saw grade inflation in my time. In fact, our HS valedictorian had a 3.9 because he got one A-, and extra credit was never assigned.

Funk is wrong. The parents explained that becoming an A student, which is the goal, is now harder. The SAT, which is the university standard, provides students with minutia in a highly-graded, percentage system that is designed to separate A students from B students. This separation is what most universities are interested in knowing. There is no 50 percent pass. I have the complex SAT results of one of my students as proof of how grading is done.

As a student, I never saw bias among teachers. He says that there is arbitrariness, e.g., not having the name, etcetera, in the corner of a paper. A student must follow instructions, and they are simple.

Feldman and Funk are playing with students' futures, and most working parents have no time to attend school board meetings. These administrators undervalue parents and teachers, who are among the taxpayers paying their salaries. Funk's annual salary begins at $344,500.

The SAT is offered seven times a year, and each one is completely different. The California Bar is offered twice a year, and each one is completely different.
​

​"Equitable" equals inaccurate.

How does one confront sciolism, noun, the superficial show of learning? Sciolism comes from the Late Latin sciolus, which means "smatterer". Steven unmasks all these people, not just radical Muslims.

Ever seen a rattler?

7/20/2024

0 Comments

 
  • The scientific name Crotalus is derived from the Ancient Greek κρόταλον, meaning castanet.
  • The name Sistrurus is the Latinized form of the Greek word for "tail rattler" (Σείστρουρος, seistrouros).
  • The Latin shares its root with the ancient Egyptian musical instrument the sistrum, a type of rattle.
They are common in California.
​Antivenom is the primary treatment for rattlesnake bites. Antivenom is a type of antibody therapy that reduces the effects of venom. The sooner it is administered, the more likely it is to stop irreversible damage to the body.
