Oregon’s Solution to College Debt

The high school diploma was presented to the beaming graduate, resplendent in their cap and gown

Ready to take on the world with this certificate little realizing the hoax after Oregon decided to dumb down

It seems the twelve years of study in the Oregon curriculum had amounted to being able to compete against those in other states who had finished Junior High

The stark realization will hit when on the job hunt, signs will metaphorically say Oregon students need not apply

In its infinite wisdom the State of Oregon decreed that high school students need not prove basic mastery of reading, writing or math to graduate from high school

The fact this is supposed to help marginalized students and those of color is down right cruel

“Here kid, here’s your certificate to a better life. Have someone read to you what it says”

In reality Oregon didn’t realize that by handicapping their own students with this idiotic decree, they actually helped the Prez

President Biden is looking for a way to cancel student debt. No further debt will be acquired by Oregon students as no accredited college will accept functional illiterates

Maybe a few will need loans if a for-profit college accepts them to attend class through one of their on-line affililates

A future of manual labor or rudimentary entry level jobs is all this diploma guarantees

Even the military expects a person to read and write before joining the rest of the inductees

For the most part, the new graduate will struggle with the everyday job application

Their resume will be sparse, their references will be in order but not helpful as the applicant won’t be able to perform written tasks or a simple calculation

Perhaps Oregon has a sinister goal of bringing in out-of-state people to fill vacant jobs

Because in a few years the State will need new unemployed bodies to replace those who have wised up and left the everyday protest mobs

NFL-Now For Losers

The final whistle has blown. Another afternoon of boredom had finished with a game winning field goal in a thrilling 15-12 dog fight

For sixty minutes the product that was the NFL had arm tackled, slid, challenged, reviewed, and penalized their way through another contest that failed to excite

Oh, sure the hard core and somewhat nostalgic fans had dressed up, painted their faces and shouted their lungs out

But in all truthfulness there were harder hits in the beer line at the concession stand between a loudmouth in the opponents jersey and a home team drunken lout

Of course this wasn’t seen on the dreary television broadcast. Viewers only see a guy with an annoying monotone and an ex-jock who talks like he’s taken one too many blows to the head

Not knowing when to shut up and hopefully wowing his viewing audience with football terms like a-gap, mike linebacker, and the spread

We’re all impressed with your knowledge and attempt to make a team seem relevant when the last five possessions resulted in 3 punts, a fumble and a field goal

Completely waxing over the fact the quarterback play was abysmal, tackling was nonexistent, and the star safety is now out on parole

There will be no nostalgic memories of this generation’s games. No Immaculate Reception, the Catch, or the Ice Bowl

Just a group of money hungry executives with a poor product selling you on London games, Thursday night boredom, and a game with no soul

Pro football has become a marketing tool for the Uber-rich owners and the advertisers that line their pocket books

They’ll play to the current media fad. They’ll kneel for the National Anthem, place Love stickers on the helmets, charge $14 for a beer endorsed by a transgender and not care how it looks

There’s a review after every catch, every touchdown and every out of bounds play

The five minutes spent looking at the play from every angle are spent by blasting gambling, delivery pizza, and car commercials to the viewers that shelled out big bucks to watch this pathetic display

The Purple People Eaters today would all be suspended and the Steel Curtain would be on report in the commisioner’s office for their attacking style of defense

The play today consists of the line of scrimmage forced to play patty cake and the secondary giving the receiver every advantage as some idiot fan proudly displays a D and a picket fence

While a buff female sideline judge, who couldn’t quite hack the cheerleading squad, determines if an offensive player stepped on the sidelines

Who will then huddle with the rest of the steroid enriched officiating crew to determine if a penalty review is warranted to which the opposing coach declines

There’s now obvious holding on every play, tackling is a forgotten art and running backs run with their head down looking for a soft place to land

Quarterbacks slide if breathed upon, opposition players flop like caught mackerels on late drives when timeouts are scarce, and the team seemingly can’t comprehend the plays on their wristband

The game has become wearisome. A once violent game whose now show of force is the woke classroom training of what’s permissible and what is disbarred

Reduced now to this year’s biggest NFL story of a pop star dating a left guard

Hot Damn, Another War!

There’s nothing like a good war shown in full color video to control people’s emotions

Display burned out buildings, dismembered bodies and babies screaming in terror to standardize everyone’s notions

It doesn’t matter who is fighting. Get in front of a microphone and condemn assorted leaders

Ukrainians yeah, Russians boo, Jews yeah, Palestinians boo. Peruse the written indignation carefully as you adjust your readers

Turn potential voters into brow beaten mush. Make sure to silence any comment their upbringing and education may form

Call them racists, Islamphobes, anti-semantics, Nazis, Russian sympathizers and any other handle CNN may advise. It’s the perfect storm

It’s all a clever dodge to bring on the New World Order and what’s better than a war to distract and capture all the headlines

That bothersome election is coming up and we need to show decisive leadership before any wavering democrats force the dementia issue and he resigns

His 200 page document on how he will defeat the pandemic turned out to be a huge Big Pharma money grab

Lockdown social activity, cancel schools and churches, social distance, wear a mask and all get a jab

The economy is crumbling under everyone’s feet. The dollar menu will now net you a small drink and a napkin.

Gas is $4 a gallon, trips are now a wish, visits have become a zoom call, and there is no drilling or fracking

The first family’s bad deeds had become the lead story for the nightly newscast

Influence peddling, pedophilia, criminal offspring and anger at the teleprompter. The networks are not hesitating to bring up the past

The border is overrun like its Black Friday at Best Buy with migrants now brazenly mugging for the cameras as they wade across the river

Knowing full well wherever they land the American people will stand and deliver

Then due to the miserable and cowardly withdrawal from Afghanistan, Russia rolled into Ukraine in 2022

Thank God the leadership can look oh so Presidential and strike fear in Putin with sanctions, tough talk, and a crippling reduction in their revenue

Ukraine has since become a money vacuum with an increasingly annoying leader and sloth-like military advances

Now even left leaning politicians are questioning Ukraine’s blatant corruption and winning chances

So the wonderfully timed Israel bombing was a godsend to the current administration

It takes inquiring minds off current domestic issues such as their own corruption, the economy, multiple labor strikes, and mass migration

There’s nothing like a few bombs, wartime atrocities, and heart wrenching video to put the White House in a jubilant mood

As the US citizens know they will be funding the Washington war machine and continue to be screwed

An Invite to The DC Halloween Party

Its the time of year for Halloween. Kids can dress up in overpriced costumes with a license to steal

A training ground for future representatives as they terrorize citizens demanding sweets or face the consequences. Of course what is mentioned in this writing can’t be real

This is also the perfect holiday for the elected Uniparty as Halloween rolls around every year on October 31rst

All are in a euphoric mood as the fiscal year ended the month before and its time for the payola checks to be dispersed

The costume party is the golden ticket. Everyone who is anyone will be in attendance

The fun is non-stop. The revelers all get to participate in games including pulling fire alarms, lying to the public, grooming little children, playing pin the indictment on the jackass and burning the Declaration of Independence

The costumes will not vary much as most will likely be dressed as business casual tyrants

And the kids that are attending will be given free bus tickets, a smart phone, a hotel room and all will be dressed as migrants

A few exceptions will be made for those who look like they stepped off the set of “The Walking Dead”

Biden will make a quick appearance, mumble something at the podium, shout something incoherent, and then be led off the stage to bed

McConnell will dress up as a deer and pretend to be caught in the head lights all night long

Pelosi will have spent too long in her wine cellar and come dressed as a Baywatch babe complete with a thong

To show his diversity Bernie announced he would attempt a little hip hop that he’d heard so much about

Until an aide whispers in his ear that hip hop doesn’t involve replacement surgery and to back off the scallops to avoid another flare-up of gout

Finally, a little guy in a green t-shirt will mingle through the crowd with a tin cup hoping the liquored up partyers would generously give to his cause

But after his stroll through the horde his cup will still be empty as he will be told numerous times to hit up the US taxpayers for that as we only make the laws

That aside, a good time will be had by all at this years Halloween bash

And come November everyone will adjourn to their homes for the long holiday break but only after passing two more pieces of legislation to clean Americans out of the last of their cash
