I suppose it could have but it would have been a bit of a stretch. Diddy's first album came out in 1997, they divorced in 1990 and Trump was cited as being at fault. Diddy was involved with record companies from early '90s.
When I was in school, 70% was failing, not passing. Actually, 75% or below. Also, get your kids out of these schools and start pushing for local candidates that support either eliminating property taxes or vouchers for parents to choose better options.
Just as an aside and not because I'm buying the demons thing, but when reading your post I immediately thought of the new movie "Beetlejuice" and the character's "snake" form and the timing of the movie's release. Scroll down to #4 here: https://screenrant.com/every-michael-keaton-betelgeuse-form-in-beetlejuice-movies. And this description of the Beetlejuice character from a Brave search on "Beetlejuice true form": "According to various sources, including early drafts of the script and interviews with the filmmakers, Beetlejuice’s true form is that of a winged demon. In the original concept, Betelgeuse was intended to assume various forms, with his true form being a winged demon. This idea was later toned down, and his true form was not explicitly shown in the 1988 film."
I have very often noticed the difference between haggard, wrinkled and aged Kamala and then unwrinkled, no saggy neck Kamala. I'm sure there are ways to do this - Hollywood types do it all the time but I don't know what they are. Also the tree trunk neck that looks very mannish.
You might want to point out the difference between mean tweets and trying to assassinate or imprison someone. Personally, I find Make America Great Again an extremely positive message. Really not being a smart aleck with this - dead serious.

The argument I heard year after year from teachers and school officials in my home county was that if you cared about your children you'd give teachers more pay to match the richer county next door. They actually tried to tie their pay increases to proof that you loved your children. The higher pay never worked nor did throwing more money at education in any form. Every year the schools got worse. Yeah, I'm sure some of the problem is the kids I see who haven't even been taught simple courtesy to others. But those parents have virtually no say in what goes on in their children's schools. I really believe public schools, largely thanks to liberal school boards and the teachers unions, are beyond saving. Close them all down, eliminate the property taxes that pay for them and let parents use that money to create their own parent directed schools, home school or whatever works for their child.
This story is a bit dishonest. First, Southwest Virginia was a Democrat stronghold for many, many years but the writer says more than once its "red." The reason why so many there mention healthcare - at one time a large portion of the workers there worked for the coalmines. They had healthcare, thanks to their unions, that most of us could only dream of. And thanks to the coalmines, they needed it. No matter how they vote, they're never getting that from another source. In another state, all or nearly all were from some other state and not Appalachia. It's interesting to see that most brought their liberal politics with them but I wouldn't consider them to be reflective of the "hillbillies" that have lived there for generations.
I don't know, i just find the story a bit off because I live in Appalachia, have relatives in the part of Virginia where they focused and it doesn't quite fit. Perhaps a reporter who is more savvy about the politics and history of the area would have been better. At least she wasn't steeped in stereotypes about the hillbillies.
You did a wonderful job of writing about our hard truths. One small reminder - for those on fixed incomes (40% of those on Social Security which averages about $1,200 a month have no other income) the scrimping and worrying are worse.
No, the test run was the chickens being killed off by chicken feed about two years ago. Do a search. I lost several chickens when feeding a couple of different layer feeds before switching to scratch. See also dogs sickened and dying from dog food. They've been doing this for a while. BTW I concluded switching brands did no good because the bad stuff was in base ingredients sold to all the feed companies.
I take it all the time because have a lung disorder. I much prefer the 400 mg. In fact, I don't like extended release in anything. For me at least, it's not extended release - it's just nothing after the first few hours. The 400 mg can be hard to find. The Walmart version is something like 88 cents a bottle for 15 tablets and Dollar Tree has it too.

We're talking about the possibility that she attended and told Trump about Diddy's parties.
