His opinion piece titled "The Blue-State Model for Education has Failed, and the Public has Caught On" states early on that one of the reasons the public schools have gone down the drain is because of the teachers’ unions.
Whether you're a Republican or Democrat, if you read this headline from The New York Times, you'd be appalled at President Donald Trump's seemingly callous comments about the Iran war and high gas prices: "Fury in California After Trump Suggests Iran ‘Take Out’ L.A. or San Diego."
Like California Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Democratic Party, you might be filled with righteous indignation and conclude that Trump deserves every bit of the backlash. How could a president talk like this about two of America's great cities?
His actual words don't sound much better. "They can take out a city. Let them take, let them take out Los Angeles; let them take out San Diego," Trump said of the Iran war at an Oct. 5 campaign rally in Grand Island, Nebraska. "This is a very small price to pay, and it’s going to be over with very soon. It’s essentially almost over with."
But you'd be wrong.
Trump did talk about high gas prices driven by the Iran war – and he did say those words. But context matters. His phrasing was clumsy, but he has never so much as hinted that he wants a foreign power to attack our homeland. He went to war with Iran to stop it from getting a nuclear weapon and to deter future attacks.
That hasn't stopped Democrats and liberal media outlets from running headlines and social media clips stripped of context to smear him. Their reaction to these comments reveals a bizarre eagerness to spread a nasty, false narrative.

He’s here to kick ass and take names. And he already forgot everyone’s name.
The new “very fine people/drink bleach” hoax.

Well THIS is not uninteresting...
t has been postulated by Epistemic Crisis that Orangina is taking a medication called Ambrisentan. This is a medication designed to treat pulmonary hypertension. Many of you don’t receive his feed. I figured I’d comment because I’m off work today and bored out of my mind
Rather than me presenting what would undoubtedly become a criticized paragraph, please allow me to quote from Wikipedia:
“PAH is considered a universally fatal illness, although survival time may vary between individuals. The prognosis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (WHO Group I) has an untreated median survival of 2–3 years from time of diagnosis, with the cause of death usually being right ventricular failure (cor pulmonale).[97] The survival time is variable and depends on many factors.[98] A recent outcome study of those patients who had started treatment with bosentan (Tracleer) showed that 89% of patients were alive at 2 years.[99] With new therapies, survival rates are increasing. For 2,635 patients enrolled in The Registry to Evaluate Early and Long-term Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Disease Management (REVEAL Registry) from March 2006 to December 2009, 1-, 3-, 5-, and 7-year survival rates were 85%, 68%, 57%, and 49%, respectively. For patients with idiopathic/familial PAH, survival rates were 91%, 74%, 65%, and 59%.[100] Levels of mortality are very high in pregnant women with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension (WHO Group I). Pregnancy is sometimes described as contraindicated in these women.[101][102][103]”
He apparently gave away that he was being treated for this condition because he referred to what he thought his aspirin dose was as 386 milligram dose vs the usual 81 mg. 386 happens to be the stamped number on the Ambrisentan pill. He confused that number with the 325 conventional dose of aspirin. (Even people without dementia do things like that. ).
So I’m gonna guess with some assurance that he was diagnosed some time ago and given his general health, obesity, and kidney and heart ailments, I’d say that he’s treading very dangerous waters.
