The Academic, 4-21-2024, An Oklahoma Bill Would Allow Unqualified Religious Figures Become Counselors In Public Schools

theesteemedprussian356

We are really running the table with education-based stories this week, aren’t we? In Oklahoma, state senator Kevin West (R-OK) has proposed a revamped version of his Senate Bill 36 which would allow public schools to hire religious chaplains instead of qualified school counselors to address student situations. While some chaplains may be cross-qualified with the requirements to become school counselors (namely a master’s degree with certification), the bill that West has proposed offers no specificities on the training that the chaplains would require to become employees. In fact, there’s not even a background search on the candidates required of … Continue reading The Academic, 4-21-2024, An Oklahoma Bill Would Allow Unqualified Religious Figures Become Counselors In Public Schools

2026 Gubernatorial Election Predictions, 4-14-2024, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston (D-CO) Is Likely Posturing For Colorado Governor In 2026

theesteemedprussian356

The auditioning for the 2026 gubernatorial elections is happening now, regardless of if the politicians that are likely to make their jump decide to announce their intentions sooner rather than later. Take for instance, Denver mayor Mike Johnston (D-CO). Having the levers of city government at his control, he seems powerless to handle to stem the influx of new arrivals of migrants that the states of Florida and Texas are depositing at his city’s doorsteps. Instead of changing the city’s laws to be harder on immigration or to suggest a larger allocation of funds from the state government, something that … Continue reading 2026 Gubernatorial Election Predictions, 4-14-2024, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston (D-CO) Is Likely Posturing For Colorado Governor In 2026

Late Week Election Round-Up, 4-14-2024, Updates From The House, Senate, and Governor Elections (2024 and 2026 Elections)

theesteemedprussian356

There were some stories to conclude the past week in politics regarding the House, Senate, and Governor races happening in 2024 and 2026. In the House, the GOP’s mainstream fundraising arm has announced the battleground candidates that they were supporting versus the other members who were more solid in their bets for re-election. In the Senate, a myriad of polling is showing competitive Senate races in places where the races shouldn’t theoretically be competitive. Regarding the gubernatorial elections, North Carolina’s election is showing signs of movement as the baggage surrounding Lt. Governor Mark Robinson appears to be roosting around his … Continue reading Late Week Election Round-Up, 4-14-2024, Updates From The House, Senate, and Governor Elections (2024 and 2026 Elections)

2026 Gubernatorial Election Predictions, 4-7-2024, The Republican Field To Challenge Josh Shapiro In 2026 Is Schismatic

theesteemedprussian356

There was recently a meeting of the Pennsylvania Leadership Conference where attendees were asked to write-in their list of preferred gubernatorial nominees for the Republican nomination in 2026, something that will be of major consequence for Pennsylvania Republicans given that they’ve lost the governorship three consecutive times since 2014. While one would think that the party would have a great unifying candidate that would settle the issue with Doug Mastriano being nominated again, the issue becomes who that candidate is. Donald Trump has been alarmed by Doug Mastriano’s stances on abortion, which are admittedly too far for my blog which … Continue reading 2026 Gubernatorial Election Predictions, 4-7-2024, The Republican Field To Challenge Josh Shapiro In 2026 Is Schismatic

2026 Gubernatorial Election Predictions, 3-24-2024, Maura Healey’s (D-MA) Words Taken Out Of Context Sound Horrible In An Opposition Advertisement

theesteemedprussian356

“Things will happen.” Taken out of context, those words might be a good summation of life where the effects of Murphy’s Law coalesce into unfortunate happenings that cannot be accounted for and leave the sufferer bitter and feeling wronged. However, those words are placed into the moment’s context in which they are intended to address, and they can take on the definition of incompetence in governing. For Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey (D-MA), she mentioned those words as part of a larger phrasing of the events that transpired at an emergency shelter in Rockland, MA. At the emergency shelter, a 26-year-old … Continue reading 2026 Gubernatorial Election Predictions, 3-24-2024, Maura Healey’s (D-MA) Words Taken Out Of Context Sound Horrible In An Opposition Advertisement

State Legislative Politics, 3-10-2024, Karen Berg (D-KY) Proposes Sex Dolls for Potential Sex Offenders (Difficult Material Mentioned)

theesteemedprussian356

Remember how I’ve been commenting on a large number of politicians on the GOP side going off the rails in Oklahoma over the past few weeks? Here’s some coverage from the other side. Kentucky state senator Karen Berg (D-KY) suggested that sex dolls modeled after minors should be widely available to “MAPs”, an acronym that has been used to lessen the severity of the more commonly and contextually appropriate term pedophile. To be clear, there is no excuse for such relations between adults and children and those convicted of such crimes should face justice, but it’s especially concerning whenever a … Continue reading State Legislative Politics, 3-10-2024, Karen Berg (D-KY) Proposes Sex Dolls for Potential Sex Offenders (Difficult Material Mentioned)

2026-2028 Senate Election Predictions, 3-2-2024, The Issue With Trumpian Senators In 2024

theesteemedprussian356

The newer class of Trumpian Senators can be exemplified by one word…meh. Consider that all of them have structural issues regarding their credibility between Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) being taken down in internet arguments regularly (he was the moderate alternative in 2022 against former Gov. Eric Greitens (R-MO), mind you), Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) making enemies left, right, and center over his blocking of military promotions that ended up failing anyway, and then J.D. Vance (R-OH) who has managed to be a performance artist on many fronts. While some of these politicians were cheered on by some individuals, as I had … Continue reading 2026-2028 Senate Election Predictions, 3-2-2024, The Issue With Trumpian Senators In 2024

Foreign Politics, 3-3-2024, Lula De Silva Outed At An Anti-Semite, Reproductive Rights In The Gaza Strip?

theesteemedprussian356

There were several foreign policy stories that caught my attention over the past few weeks. At the same time that Brazil is attempting to betray American interests by allying with the new BRICS currency with other hostile countries like China and Russia, they have excused the murder of Alexei Navalny in Russian captivity as being unexplained (Putin tried to poison him prior) while simultaneously calling Israel’s actions to defend itself against Hamas’s aggression “genocide” like Hitler’s holocaust. On that same note, there was one Twitter comment that caught my attention because the person called for a ceasefire because of “repro … Continue reading Foreign Politics, 3-3-2024, Lula De Silva Outed At An Anti-Semite, Reproductive Rights In The Gaza Strip?

2028 Republican Presidential Primary Banter, 2-25-2024, Previewing Some Early Moves By Possible 2028 Contenders (Donald Trump, Jr. and Brian Kemp)

theesteemedprussian356

The 2024 election doesn’t even (officially) have its nominees so far and speculation about who will be running for the 2028 presidential election is already running high. The decision by Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) to endorse Donald Trump after his election loss and previous campaign comments have been framed as his attempt to remain in good standing with parts of the base, he would need to win in 2028. The Trumpian loyalists are as incorrigible towards descent from their dear leader as ever, but DeSantis appears to be preparing for the future and licking his wounds from what was a … Continue reading 2028 Republican Presidential Primary Banter, 2-25-2024, Previewing Some Early Moves By Possible 2028 Contenders (Donald Trump, Jr. and Brian Kemp)

Late Week Election Round-Up, 2-25-2024, Updates On The Governor, House, and Senate Elections

theesteemedprussian356

There have been multiple stories developing regarding the Governor and Senate elections that are worth discussing along with some extra stories along the way that will round out the week. The Senate GOP is continuing to get it’s preferred results regarding candidate recruitment with discouraging some candidates from running while getting others to successfully run instead. In the governorships, the positioning ahead of 2025 and 2026 is going full steam ahead as the elections this year promise to attract attention with the presidential election (so far) being a close affair. We’ll see what happens as the year progresses onward, so … Continue reading Late Week Election Round-Up, 2-25-2024, Updates On The Governor, House, and Senate Elections
