DEMOCRATS: So tolerant and open-minded! Remarkably, Vance tells people to continue supporting the restaurant that denied him entrance. [9:55] – The first time I saw something like this was six years ago when Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) told Dems to get up in the faces of Trump supporters in public spaces and tell them, “You’re not wanted here.”

Trump advisor and now Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders was tossed out of a Red Hen restaurant by the owner. So yeah … denying someone service for being Black is illegal; denying service for being Republican … no problem!

EDUCATION: [2:42] – What possible reason could there be for any English class to include Sexually Explicit Material (SEM)? I am familiar with the Texas state curriculum standards website, because a professional art teacher suggested I use it to guide lesson planning for the art classes I am teaching my home schooled Texas grandkids. So I checked the high school Language Arts section. It talks about developing students’ abilities in both “oral and written comprehension and expression” and mentions “multiple genres” but nowhere is any mention of SEM. If, and I stress IF, a teacher wants to do a lesson or unit on SEM as a genre, the parents should certainly be notified about it, offered a chance to review the materials, assignments, and curriculum goals, and provided with an opt in or opt out permission form.

GEORGIA: Prayers for the residents and especially first responders of Conyers, Georgia, where a massive fire at a biochemical lab put who knows what into the air. Conyers is about 20 miles east of Atlanta.

KAKA-MALA: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/reel/945257024029508 to hear an inspiring message of inspiration from the one who knows how to inspire. And here’s me thinking it was inflation that was responsible for our empty bank accounts! Gosh, golly. All along, it was our own failing for not guarding that spirit of inspiration that so inspires us to guard our spirits!

TRUMP: Yes.

GRAMMY NOTES: An arcade manager told me this game breaks down far more often than any other. So … another way it’s like Communism.
