13 When Orange-Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by plane privately to a solitary place, Mar-a-Lago. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns.
14 When Orange-Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he first rejoiced that it was huge, but then wondered if he could build a wall around his country club to keep them out for they could not pay the $200,000 membership fee.
15 As evening approached, Mick Mulvaney came to him and said, “This is a place for the rich, and it’s already getting late. It’s time to watch Bill O’Reilly.
16 Orange-Jesus replied, “They need to go away. Tell them to get something to eat.”
17 “They wish for help feeding themselves for they are poor,” answered the Budget Director.
18 “Why help them?” asked Orange-Jesus. “They are poor and there is not even a 7 among them, let alone a 10. Our old budget had money to help them buy food, to heat their homes in the cold of winter, to provide medicine to the sick. But we should not give them this for it makes them weak and rewards their being losers. But we have here five pierogi, Putin’s favorite, and two taco-salads back at the Trump Grill. That food is the best, tremendous.”
19 “But it is not enough to feed the people,” said the Budget Director.
20 “Bring the people here to me, to a rally around me and buy MAGA hats,” Orange-Jesus said. 19 And he directed the people to sit down on the grass, taking careful count to prove that there were more people on his lawn than had been on President Obama’s four years ago. Taking the five pierogi and the two taco-bowls and looking in a gold-leaf encrusted mirror, he gave thanks to himself and tweeted out a picture. Then he gave nothing to the downtrodden, but to the army he gave more guns and planes and tanks, though they already had enough and more.
21 When asked what they thought about not providing food to the poor the Budget Director said, ““I think it’s probably one of the most compassionate things we can do.”
22 The number of those who died for lack of food, heat, and healthcare in the first year was 10 times more than had been killed on 9/11.

He was born during the roaring 20s in rural Minnesota. He grew up during the Depression and served as a B-24 radioman during the closing days of World War 2. He returned to MN and raised a family that I joined 17 years ago when I married one of his granddaughters. He was a really nice man and, sad to say, great-grandpa Ken died this morning. He went to sleep last night and never woke up.

A repost (with some edits) of something I wrote last year.

I've been teaching since 1997. Currently, I'm an elected union official. I serve as a member of my teaching union's executive board. I helped negotiate our current contract and I'm part of the current negotiations team that is about to sit down with the Board of Education to craft a successor agreement. According to Senator Jim DeMint (Republican Teapartystan) and Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey, I'm a thug. Join me after the fleur-de-kos to see some examples of my thuggery.

Governor Signs Bill creating new Student Assessment System
By Jugatta B Kitinme
Albany (NY)

Fresh off the successful implementation of the new Annual Professional Performance Review (APPR) system for New York State Teachers, Governor Cuomo and State Legislators have created a new model for assessing student achievement in grades Kindergarten through 12th grade. The new system will be implemented in schools throughout the State beginning with the 2013-2014 school year. Weekly State mandated exams in all subject areas including physical education, art, music, health and lunch will make up most of the system. The new State exams will be created by private firms using $200 million dollars of taxpayer funds.

I rarely write diaries. I generally lurk. I spent tonight grading papers and trying to get myself to write another college recommendation - I've written 7 and have 7 more to finish before November 1. I don't have the energy for the latter, but I did finish the quizzes - and the grades were excellent - that's always a plus.

I'm tired - but not just from work.

I think my community is starting to succumb to the state of things.

I'd like to talk about disability in the classroom. This won't be a discussion of learning issues or ADHD. This diary is about educating (or trying to educate) a student who is severely depressed. This diary is about the heartbreak and sadness of being unable to help a child as much as he needs to be helped.

I don't have answers. I'm not even sure what the questions should be, at this point. My colleagues and I are doing our best, but our best isn't enough.

This is not a diary about my biological children asking me about my past. It's about my other children, my students, putting me in an awkward position. It wasn't because I was unprepared for the question - I have an answer ready that is appropriate - it was that I wasn't asked in the way I expected that threw me.

I spent the afternoon at the Tarrytown, NY offices of my union, the New York State United Teachers (AFT). My local held its monthly Executive Board meeting there and then helped out with the phone-bank.

Oh wait, sorry, I retitled the article. His title is "Poll: Racial views steer some white Dems away from Obama". When you read the article and look at the accompanying graphic, it is clear that the sub-group with the least complimentary attitudes towards blacks (I'll be generous and not call it racism) is - wait for it - white Republicans. White Independents were next, but considering that many Republicans are too embarrassed to admit their party affiliation, I'm guessing the numbers there are a bit skewed.
