I think home school is ALWAYS an option. Change your standard of living. You don't need a nice house, we live in a small house I HATE but it's a place to live. I don't have to have a newer, nice, perfect house. I have a house built in the 1920's, added on in 1945, then 1947, then 1980, It's a building mess. The floors are slanted, we used to play with the kids putting the marble in one place and laughing as it went to another part of the house. But it is solid now that my husband has dug under it and created a mock foundation (it was built originally on tree stumps and a car jack). Don't have new cars, the new phone when it comes out, all the shiny new things... live modestly. Use coupons. Downscale holidays. Buy used than thrift... take advantage of people spending their money then donating or selling, then get the deal on the nice stuff. Our vacations are going with my husband when he's on a business trip, or doing home repairs on his vacation days. It sucks, yeah.. but it's for the ability to homeschool my kids.

They are learning how to invest, how to save, how to cook... how to live without so they can live with a bigger reward!!!!

Sounds like Disney!

I had a co-worker in the early 2000's who was married to an illegal. He kept getting deported and coming back. She was "divorced" from him eventually, and had had 3 daughters with him. She used to come to work when she was "married" to him, and she would have black eyes, bruises, and you could tell she was beat up. She was very open that he was doing it.

I always worried about the girls, but I wasn't very close to this lady so I didn't feel like I could speak up at the time. I remember her suspecting one of her daughters was se*ually assaulted. She suspected it, but the idiot woman didn't do anything to help her. I remember her saying her daughter would just hang out in her tree house all the time.

People think illegals are just people that want a family and good life. Nope. They can be abusers and molesters too. Then they get protected and held up as heroes from the left.

I hope our authorities meet his plane when he lands and arrest him for treason.

They are eager to help! Help us by giving us their criminals, help us learn how to steal from hard working taxpayers, help us with agreeing to create wars to kill our kids...

Wait..... Dinesh D'Souza defended the kid? What the heck? Overstated, because he said one thing for the camera? Grow up D'nesh.

This is a great thread. All stuff I have found out in my awakening. We haven't used sunscreen in years, my kids never have. Maybe one rare occasion. I was so happy when my friend went to her daughter with an open bottle of sunscreen after 2 minutes in the sun, and her daughter said "I don't want any." Mom said "You sure? You'll burn!" and she said "Nope. I'm good." I think my kid has been talking to her kid about sunscreen, which has been slathered on the kids since infant hood.
We are on well water and don't use fluorinated toothpaste (there's a reason it's so cheap!). So much of this I am glad I learned before kids so they can be raised in a better environment then those around them. Plus the breakfast myth!!! Man, I was never hungry for breakfast but fell for the myth. It put weight on me as I grew older, and I kept "eating healthy" but getting my 3 meals a day. Since Intermittent fasting and skipping breakfast, I have already lost 20 pounds (it's slow, but it's coming off!!)

Geez. We knew this.

I imagine this is how the conversation went between Trump and the El Salvador president... Trump: So, can we have this Garcia guy back? El Salvador: Nope. Trump: OK. I tried.

scammer... ness. HAHAHA!!!

The fact that Zelensky is still alive after all his cavorting about makes me think he is protected by the deep state. Russia should have been able to take him out at this point. He's drawing Trump into a trap for sure. He had his chance, now he has to play by our rules.

Yeah, commierado urban voters voted to release wolves back into our state. The denverites have no freaking idea what they have launched into the state. They have non idea how big wolves are, and they will take down your kid. I really hope the wolves go into denver before they ever get to my house. Not probably possible, but I am praying it's done.

We homeschool, and quite honestly I think teaching Q drops would have been good in Trump's first term. Now though, I incorporate them into Civics.. so when we learn about something happening in the world/country, we can find Q drops that foreshadow it. I wouldn't do a complete study on just Q, I would put it in context of what was happening then, and now. That would be easier for them to comprehend.

Remember when Walmart had big signs on their racks that said "Made in America" and all over signs that said that. Now it's all made in china. They should have stuck to their roots.

As someone with truckers in their family, I can 100% confirm this is happening. They are talking of retiring since it isn't the "gentlemen of the highway" anymore. They have said they can't communicate with most of the other truckers now, they have had people threaten them and try to take their shower time at truck stops, and they had to be escorted out at one point not because they did anything, but because some migrant threatened them and the truck stop wanted to make sure my family members were safe. They have said that there is way more crime at truck stops, and they are tired of being lumped in with the migrants. They started trucking in the 70's when it was cool to be a trucker. Now they can't communicate with dock workers, other truckers, and worry whenever they park at a truck stop. It's ridiculous we are going to lose such great drivers.

I tell my kids I won't drive next to or in front of a truck. I don't trust them not to kill me. I will go over the speed limit to get away from them. We used to wave and want them to blow their horns. So sad.

My SO was saying he may have a business trip in London coming up. He wanted us to go with him so we could explore a new country. I will not!!! I will be arrested at the airport for my posts. Nope.

Interesting. I was using 72 hour rule on that one. I didn't see Elon Musk post anything on X about it so I was withholding judgement until it was confirmed. Glad it was confirmed he's not leaving yet!!!

Thank you!!!!!

No kidding. "We want you prisoners to stop driving cars and using plastics." Like they have a choice. I bet they found a way to get funding if they continue doing it in prisons. Even though it's worthless.

so coincidental.

Good. Lock him up forever in an El Salvador prison.

I was terrorized by them or sure. I don't know if I was on a list, or if they just pull over every woman that has a kid, but EVERY time I few with my toddler, I would get pulled over. I got yelled at by a TSA lady when I asked if, while standing idly around waiting for another agent to come over, if I could go grab my purse off the end of the conveyer so it wouldn't disappear. She yelled at me. She asked me if I wanted to leave my kid with a stranger (her) JUST TO GO GRAB YOUR PURSE? Like I was leaving her with a child molester so I could go get my purse. That's when I knew, they don't even trust themselves. She trusted herself less than she trusted someone who would have intentions of stealing my purse.

I also got pulled out, frisked, drew a crowd as TSA agents swarmed because they "found bomb residue" on my matcha powder package. People were videoing. My daughter cried and asked "are you arresting my Mom?" A TSA agent came over because we were crying (I lost it when she asked that). Trying to be like a victims advocate. I told her she'd cry too if she just left her 80 year old parents and then had all this happen.

They not only let me go at the end, ending the circus they created (they were also pulling all of my things and clothes out one. by. one. Holding them up. Looking at them. Looking for what? I don't know. ). As I walked away, the idiot TSA agent said "Do you want your matcha????" I wanted to yell "I thought it had bomb powder on it!!" but I was afraid the whole thing would start all over again with the word "Bomb" I yelled No, you keep it. Most stupid thing EVER.

I remember vividly in 1996, when I had just bought my first new car (when I thought that was a good decision), I was at a stop light, feeling proud of my shiny new car. The news comes on at the top of the hour, and the news guy says "Government officials say that we will run out of gasoline in 10 years". I remember feeling deflated, and thinking "well, at least I get to enjoy my new car for a few years before I can't put fuel in it anymore." I am still mad that they took the wind out of my sails with their lies.

Thanks Joe Lipinski! He has another vote, but with an altered email in case it didn't accept it.

you would not BELIEVE the corruption, even in a smaller area school board. It is federal level corruption. We finally voted out the liberal school board, and they spent every penny and ounce of energy to throw out the conservatives. They fought them so that the conservatives could get nothing done because they were too busy defending themselves against the media and accusations. They eventually got thrown out, and the liberals took over again. I'm sure they ensured the election was rigged after that so it would never happen again.
