I agree that the school system needs help. The public school system is a joke in some places. Around here the schools are practically like prisons-- which is apropos considering this state has the highest incarceration rate per capita of anywhere in the US. Louisiana is #1 in incarcerations. I think also #1 in infant mortality rate.On the wood/firewood topic, they don't want the wood to get transported because the beetles are still in the wood. Shame there isn't a way to use it. I guess it makes compost for the next generation of trees.
It costs $30k to get a star put on the walk of fame. https://www.quora.com/Why-does-Donald-Trump-even-have-a-star-on-the-Walk-of-Fame
There have been books written on the Trump family history as well as journalists who keep track of things. The only way Trump's grandfather could have turned a profit in the locations where he operated was if he was involved with the mob. Fred Trump pretty much had no choice but to be involved with the mob bc they took care of him and his mother after his father passed away. I follow numerous journalists who dig up actual court documents & follow the history & do investigations. The mainstream media hasn't latched on to some things because they found it more sensational to talk about porn stars. I'm sure Mueller knows about the mob connections-- taking down mob bosses was his thing when he was head of the FBI. It's entirely possible that I'm wrong and that people have misinterpreted things, but it all makes sense in the scheme of things. It would explain so much about Trump's history & with what is going on now.
Interesting that Chris Collins was indicted. I think that is signalling that more of the bigger fish are going to be reeled in.
