They closed down the shops in Anchorage, Alaska and sold off the equipment for scrap. Only the 'dumb' kids took shop and everyone knew we are in a service economy and need college.

They did keep the King Career Center. Best to have the 'retards' off on their own anyway and out of the regular schools.

Now everyone wants to know where our carpenters, vehicle mechanics, plumbers, machinists, etc are going to come from.

Glad we have teachers as Superintendents. Go Union

🎵 L Y R I C S 🎵:
I haven't slept at all in days
It's been so long since we have talked
And I have been here many times
I just don't know what I'm doing wrong

What can I do to make you love me?
What can I do to make you care?
What can I say to make you feel this?
What can I do to get you there?

There's only so much I can take
And I just gotta let it go
And who knows I might feel better, yeah
If I don't try and I don't hope

What can I do to make you love me?
What can I do to make you care?
What can I say to make you feel this?
What can I do to get you there?

No more waiting, no more aching
No more fighting, no more trying

Maybe there's nothing more to say
And in a funny way I'm calm
Because the power is not mine
I'm just gonna let it fly

What can I do to make you love me?
(What can I do to make you love me?)
What can I do to make you care?
(What can I do to make you care?)
What can I say to make you feel this?
(What can I do to make you love me?)
What can I do to get you there?
(What can I do to make you care?)

What can I do to make you love me?
(What can I do to make you love me?)
What can I do to make you care?
(What can I do to make you care?)
What can I change to make you feel this?
(What can I do to make you love me?)
What can I do to get you there?
(What can I do to make you love me?)

And love me (love me)
Love me, love me (love me, love me)
Love me, love me (love me, love me)
And love me, love me (love me, love me)
Love me, love me (love me, love me)
Love me (love me, love me)
Love (Love me, love me)

In Berlin gelten ab heute alle Nahverkehrsmittel und Bahnhöfe als Messerverbotszone. Das ist eine massive Ausweitung der Kontroll- und Durchsuchungsbefugnisse der Polizei. Der Sicherheitsgewinn steht nicht im Verhältnis zum Grundrechtseingriff.

Okay but that creates a paradox in your definition of "white", because borderers are widely known for being more violent, criminal and uncivilized than Irish or Italians.

I mean even the British preferred to deal with the Irish themselves but banish the Borderers to the New World, and the colonists refused them entry to their colonies (even the Quakers refused to let them in!) that should tell you everything you need to know about them.

Israel is “undermining Syrian sovereignty”with “impunity”

🎵 L Y R I C S 🎵:
Everyone's changing, I stay the same, I'm
A solo cello outside a chorus
I've got a secret
It's time for me to tell, you've been keeping me warm

Just sweet beginnings and bitter endings
In coffee city, we borrowed Heaven
Don't give it back, I've never felt so wanted
Are you taking me home?

You tell me you have to go?

In the heat of summer sunshine
I miss you like nobody else
In the heat of summer sunshine
I kiss you and nobody needs to know

Now that you've left me, there's no returning
I keep comparing, you're always winning
I try to be strong, but you'll never be more wanted
Will you make me at home?

Don't tell me you have to go

In the heat of summer sunshine (summer sunshine)
I miss you like nobody else
In the heat of summer sunshine (summer sunshine)
I kiss you, and nobody needs to know

To sweet beginnings and bitter endings
In coffee city, we borrowed Heaven
Don't give it back
Winter is coming, and I need to stay warm

In the heat-

In the heat of summer sunshine (summer sunshine)
I miss you like nobody else
In the heat of summer sunshine (summer sunshine)
I kiss you, and nobody knows

In the heat of summer sunshine (summer sunshine)
I miss you like nobody else
In the heat of summer sunshine (summer sunshine)
I kiss you and nobody needs to know

Summer sunshine, sunshine, sunshine

None Dare Call It Socialism

Trump called Zohran Mamdani a “Communist Lunatic” for proposing city-owned groceries in all 5 NYC boroughs. Yet Trump OK'd his DOD buying a $400 million ownership stake in the means of production of rare earth minerals. Mamdani critics are silent on that.

Trump is right. Inflation is lower. Due to a tough econ and Trump policies. We need to get economy moving. Interest on debt is too high, too. The interest rates are too high stifling one major decision that drives the economy…. Real estate: Trump’s domain. 66% won’t buy unless rates go down! With midterms around the corner, Ds want to run a “see Trump didn’t fix economy. It still sucks.” It’s all about perception and persuasion. Child trafficking is what cartels do more than Epstein.

The song “Buddha Annihilation Trishna” by 88Kasyo Junrei ( which means "pilgrimage to eighty-eight places," -
( the Shikoku Pilgrimage ¤.) delves deep into Buddhist themes, exploring the tension between spiritual craving (taṇhā, thirst—or “trishna”) and the dissolution of mental defilements.
( ¤ The Shikoku Pilgrimage (四国遍路, Shikoku Henro) or Shikoku Junrei (四国巡礼) is a multi-site pilgrimage of 88 temples associated with the Buddhist monk Kūkai (Kōbō Daishi) on the island of Shikoku, Japan

At its core, the lyrics seem to riff on what some early Buddhists called “annihilationism” (ucchedadṛṣṭi), the notion that enlightenment means pure obliteration of self or being. But within the song, that “annihilation” isn’t about ending physical life—it’s the purposeful eradication of greed, hatred, and delusion (the three poisons) through spiritual insight and awakening.

In one early Buddhist teaching (the Verañjā Sutta, MN 4), the Buddha says:
“You could rightly say that I’m a teacher of annihilationism—for I teach the annihilation of greed, hate, and delusion…”

Buddha Annihilation Trishna Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Knowing your delusional and ferocious hobbies, it's
a drunken and intoxicating way to get
rid of it, and it's a drunken relentless way to get
rid of it
.
I can't do it, I don't even swallow, but I'm all
over the place, I'm
drunk, I'm drunk, I can't get rid of it, it's drowned, it's worse than
a merciless time killer
[Chorus 1],
"You love it." I can't stop being
nauseous

Verse 3],
and I'm so sobbing that I can't sleep, with a
smile that creates endless absurdity, and I'm going to go to the other side, I'm
drunk, I'm thirsty
Breathlessly and mercilessly spoiled and
the rat.

[Bridge], Meditation
without Res

[Chorus 2],
"Thirst for Love" spits up during
unstoppable applause
You don't need to be conscious that you don't
need to be clean.

[Verse 4]
The serotonin that flows out is muddy, useless,
apathetic, even the fear of fear is disturbing, and there are no painful
memories I know that I am a
half-hearted person, i
am drunk, I can enjoy it, I don't give it a chance to think.

Meditation
without Read

[Chorus 3]
Thirst
to love I can't stop anymore I vomit
down in the middle of a cheer I don't need clarification Buddha annihilation that doesn't
require consciousness Trishna
"thirst to love" doesn't
I'm not nauseous enough

[Verse 5],
I know your delusional and ferocious hobby, and it's
drunk to impose a spiral infinite mineral on you,
get rid of it, and I'll figure it out
out while I'm dredged
Unpretentious, unrelenting, unwavering, unshakable
