Charles, why do you care about her religious views? I couldn’t tell you if the previous principal was Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu or atheist. What matters is how they lead the staff and students. And by all accounts, she’s excellent at doing just that.
🚨BOMBSHELL🚨Fort Worth ISD announced Shayma Alzubi as the new principal of Western Hills High School. Alzubi has posted pro-Palestinian content and reposted content supportive of Sharia Law. Is Fort Worth ISD endorsing this?

If this is about Messi: Tell me you didn’t watch the CONMEBOL qualifiers without telling me you didn’t watch the CONMEBOL qualifiers. #ToughestQualificationPath #ItsNotEvenClose

This is either laughably naive or, more likely, sinisterly misleading.
The number of instructional days lost to STAAR testing (benchmarks, makeups) has tripled thanks to this bill.
There are plenty of sound, data-abundant ways to measure performance.
3x STAAR ain’t one of them.
"What gets measured gets fixed" is a phrase I'm well known for in the Texas Senate, and it's at the heart of education reforms passed in HB 8 that measure our future students' success.
House Pub Ed Chair @BradBuckleyDVM and I passed his HB 8 to prepare students for real-world achievement with a system that measures student growth.
HB 8 replaces the STAAR with 3 shorter tests: beginning, middle, and end of the year. BOY and MOY scores are back in 48 hours, so teachers can give students immediate feedback! A-F accountability ratings were restored, and "lawfare" trying to block accountability was STOPPED as Texas must have a public accountability system year to year!
The reforms give valuable time back to teachers and students in Texas classrooms. Fall 2027 can’t come fast enough for me as HB 8 is a win, win, win for all in Texas Public Education! 🤘 #txed #txlege
Yesterday, in a moment of inspiration, I started celebrating students’ correct responses by performing a unique celebration based on different FC Barcelona players’ goal celebrations - Lamine Yamal’s crown, Pedri’s goggles, Dani Olmo’s wrist…
Melania and I are not the same.
I can help answer.
1) In Tinker v Des Moines (a 7-2 decision) SCOTUS ruled neither students nor teachers “shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate.” The Court took the position that school officials could not prohibit only on 1/2
🚨EULESS, TEXAS🚨Euless Texas Voting Center is being harrassed by a LARGE Anti-Ice Group. They are waving Mexican flags and are from a nearby High School. Why are schools allowing this?? And why are they right next to a polling site???!
INVESTIGATE!

.@BrettFavre With all due respect to one of the greatest QBs ever — I didn’t grow up knowing where the Packers played, what Lambeau Field was, or why people proudly wear cheese on their heads 🧀😄.
I watched. I learned. And now I get it.
That’s how @NFL football works. And honestly, that’s how the Super Bowl halftime show works too. It’s not about only watching what you already know — it’s about discovering what millions of your fellow Americans already love.
Bad Bunny isn’t “foreign” to the Super Bowl — he is America too 🇺🇸🇵🇷🎶. Different sounds, same country, same game.
The Super Bowl is big enough for frozen fields, cheese hats, country music… and Spanish lyrics.
That’s not losing tradition. That’s America showing how big the tent really is. 🏈❤️
And you should try Tembleque, Alcapurrias and Mofongo! Don’t be sad, be happy!
Amazing word salad and conflation of the state takeover and your school privatization efforts, governor. Also amazing you don’t understand Supreme Court precedent and First Amendment law.
But don’t worry. November is coming.
Texas Republicans: “We have to allow kids to be activists if they want.”
Also Texas Republicans: “No, not like that!”

It is time for Christians to unite in calling for an end to policies that harm our neighbors, in opposing ICE as they terrorize families and detain children, in prosecuting everyone who perpetrates these atrocities, and in reclaiming the name of Jesus from those who have hijacked it to justify cruelty.
History will remember where Christians stood in this moment. Our children will ask us what we did when fascism came to America wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.
Hey so last time 246 people died, according to the official state count. But yeah, you’ve got jokes.

Not mentioned: a single damn thing Jesus taught or commanded.
The only thing Christian nationalists hate more than the Bill of Rights are the Gospels.

So, CBS News decided not to air this 25 yr veteran federal agent pointing out all the ways the ICE agent was in the wrong for shooting Renee Good, on its broadcast (I wonder why🤨).
At least it’s online. Reshare.

It’s not American oil. It’s Venezuelan oil.
Oil companies entered into risky deals to develop oil, and the deals were canceled by a prior Venezuelan government.
What’s happening: lives of US soldiers are being risked to make those oil companies (not Americans) more profitable.
You see a lot claims that Venezuela has nothing to do with drugs because most of the fentanyl comes from elsewhere. I want to address this:
First off, fentanyl isn't the only drug in the world and there is still fentanyl coming from Venezuela (or at least there was).
Second, cocaine, which is the main drug trafficked out of Venezuela, is a profit center for all of the Latin America cartels. If you cut out the money from cocaine (or even reduce it) you substantially weaken the cartels overall. Also, cocaine is bad too!
Third, yes, a lot of fentanyl is coming out of Mexico. That continues to be a focus of our policy in Mexico and is a reason why President Trump shut the border on day one.
Fourth, I see a lot of criticism about oil. About 20 years ago, Venezuela expropriated American oil property and until recently used that stolen property to get rich and fund their narcoterrorist activities. I understand the anxiety over the use of military force, but are we just supposed to allow a communist to steal our stuff in our hemisphere and do nothing? Great powers don't act like that.
The United States, thanks to President Trump's leadership, is a great power again. Everyone should take note.
