I wonder if they even realize that the Pre-K Childcare is the biggest nightmare in this clusterfuck. Everybody has had their eyes opened over the last two years to what the schools have done to our kids and now they want even earlier access? Hell no…

The White House Art of Furious Persuasion
Jen Psaki all but calls Joe Manchin a liar for opposing Biden’s bill.
By Dec. 19, 2021 5:59 pm ET
The progressive whiz kids who run President Biden’s White House don’t have much sense of self-restraint—or common political sense. Their response on Sunday to Sen. Joe Manchin’s opposition to Build Back Better was to accuse him of bad faith while saying they’ll beat him up until he changes his mind.
Press secretary Jen Psaki issued a blistering statement saying Mr. Manchin’s comments on Fox News Sunday “are at odds with his discussions this week with the President, with White House staff, and with his own public utterances.” We can’t speak for his private White House talks, but Mr. Manchin’s public comments have been consistent for months. On Sunday he finally said no.
Ms. Psaki charged ahead in furious disregard: “Just as Senator Manchin reversed his position on Build Back Better this morning, we will continue to press him to see if he will reverse his position yet again, to honor his prior commitments and be true to his word.”
Maybe Mr. Biden’s masters of the universe know something about the art of persuasion that we don’t. But we doubt calling a Senator a liar is going to bring him around.

“Hate Has No Home Here”
I saw those signs all over the place in Boston a couple years ago.
There were none around here (rural Virginia).

Karla wants to make a sign that says “Welcome, Hate! Have a seat and make yourself at home!”

Louisiana would have a much higher literacy rate, but a lot of our best and brightest move out of state.

Why did they choose to leave Louisiana?
Why did they choose to relocate to Austin (instead of any other town/state)? -
The 25% subsidy for US built electric cars and components contained in the bill would have caused a trade war with Canada and Mexico. It was contrary to the USMCAN trade Treaty as well as the Auto Pact between Canada and the USA. It would as well likely run afoul of the WTO if a grievance were brought forward.
Manchin did the US a big favour by quashing the bill. It was a shit bill from square one.
