Positive? Its likely to be 220-215 but then take 2 seats away and its 218-215. We all know there will be a few reps who will vote with dems so Jeffries is in effect already the Speaker. Ron DeSantis knows th value of controlling the legislature. Who in the effing hell is telling trump to be this dumbass stupid?

Here's an article for just NC. 1.10B for us not including the 713M for child nutrition from the dept if agriculture.

Ask & Answer | What's the impact of federal funding on education in North Carolina?

North Carolina schools are expected to $1.2 billion in federal funding from the U.S. Department of Education in 2025.

That doesn't answr either of my questions, but it's ok.

1. If the Department of Education were eliminated, it would just be folded back into the Department of Health & Huaman Services as it were before Jimmy Carter. Even so, it was the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (thanks to LBJ, an extremely underrated president) that establishes the means to fund schools, which predates the DOE.

2. The correct answer is anywhere from 5% to 16% of school funding (depending on the state) comes from the federal government. A significant amount for sure, but not as dire as you were making it out to be.
 
He is going to take Marco Rubio out of the Senate now. This is getting interesting now, with all kinds of possibilities opening up.

Except it is true, this is not race baiting.. why would he select an actual outspoken white nationalist to serve in his administration? You have a couple options here as this is irrefutable.

a) Say this is irrelevant, his views suck but does not matter... which is already a dumb position because he has power and will use it to advance his racist views... your granddaddy said the same thing about de-segregationists " stop it yall are race baiting and disturbing the peace"
b) Say this is fine, white nationalism is ok

Either way, speak the truth and only the truth, I will respect only the truth but I do not respect thinly veiled racism and lies... own it if you are a white nationalist. I hate the view but can respect someone for being honest...
 
I'm just glad South Africa has some Skin in the game too. Hopefully Elon can halt the reverse discrimination in South Africa right now. Trump owes him.
