I saw it unfold also and Acosta is a Bigot as well as with an Idiot.
Acosta pretended to teach Trump adviser Stephen Miller that what is written on the Statue of Liberty outranks the rule of law. Like a typical liberal, Acosta was all about the feels, as he took after Miller.
Miller smacked him down repeatedly in a slightly more than 7-minute exchange that accomplished two things. It boosted Acosta’s ego, if that’s at all possible, and it proved Trump’s complaints about the press true in hilarious fashion.
Al Gore lost all credibility (not like he had much) with me when I heard he flew to a global warming 'event', got in a limo, got driven to the location where he was going to speak and had the limo driver keep the car running in order to keep the AC going.

School: AP and Honors classes will be decided by skin color, not intelligence
A Virginia high sent a disturbing letter to parents and students announcing they would be selecting students for Advanced Placement and honors classes at least partly based on skin color, a concerned parent told Fox News.
Martin Luther King, Jr. must be turning over in his grave.
A parent forwarded me a copy of the letter sent from John Handley High School in Winchester.
“Through our collective work, advanced classes such as AP and Honors will have proportional representation,” read the letter. “Proportional representation is 40% White, 35% Hispanic, 12% African American, 10% mixed race.”
The letter went on to explain that public schools across the country “continue to see outcomes that are disproportionate by race and social class.”
“American demographic trends indicate that America will be a majority minority nation in the next 25 years,” the letter read. “Therefore, the new work of American public schools is to develop systems to address disparate outcomes.”
Interesting -- I thought the work of American public schools was to teach kids how to read, write, multiply and divide.
A school district spokesperson reached out to me and strongly denied that they have any policies dictating racial quotas for advanced courses.
“Our school division does not have, nor has it ever had, any policy that utilizes race for enrollment into honors or AP courses. All students, regardless of race, must meet academic criteria to enroll in advanced level coursework. Over the past years, the School Board has continued its focus on providing advanced level coursework as well as increasing advanced course offerings across a variety of disciplines. The School Board has not contemplated, nor adopted, any policy or practice that utilizes race in determining which students can or cannot take such courses, or any other courses for that matter,” the spokesperson said.
However, the letter clearly states that is their goal.
“I disagree that those statements mean that students will be placed in classes based on race,” said schoolboard chairman Erica Truban.
Her comment strains credulity.
Eric Sitton – father of a rising sophomore honors student at the high school was one of the parents who received the letter.
“I was taken aback. I couldn’t believe someone would put words like that in print to send around to the homes of students,” he told me.
He said he was especially distressed when his teenage son read the rules governing honors classes.
“I felt powerless to help my child,” he said. “Seeing the look on his face when he realized that he was being judged by the color of his skin was agonizing.”
So how does a public school district explain judging children based on their pigmentation?
“My son asked me, ‘Am I not going to be able to be in an AP class because I’m white?’ And I didn’t know what to tell him,” Mr. Sitton said.
Last year, he said one of his son’s teachers told students she could not believe anyone would vote for Donald Trump. She attempted to influence students with her political ideology.
“It is honestly like trying to run a marathon in mud – trying to deal with the school system,” Mr. Sitton told me.
Hopefully, Mr. Sitton’s son will be among the 40 percent of white people permitted to enroll in honors classes.
“I told my son to just do the best you can do, show your aptitude and hopefully you will get the classes you want,” he said.

Whilst this guy is your climate prophet, you probably oughta back off the insults that your side likes to throw at our side of this discussion.
Also like to add, as a house painter, I've been outside every August for the last 23 years. Most have been sweltering, this one has (only eight days in I know) been relatively mild.

It wouldn't be the first time Gore did something like that. But who am I to complain. I would do th e same thing.
True, but you're not running around the planet making millions of dollars telling people the sky is falling while doing the exact thing you say is making it fall.
This mans house uses more energy in a month than most homes use in a year.
That has to be taught by those who give everybody a trophy, and those who parents told them to stand in a corner (which they didn't do) while they counted to 30

Your right. I am cranking my air, and my heat, and saying who cares if the average low temp on Jan 15th in Ohio goes from -5 to 5 above over the next 200 years.
I know Al Gore created the internet and all, no one really cares about him. Also he pays for carbon credit, which probably makes him carbon neutral. Why don't ya'll ever want to talk about Bill McKibben? Or does the thought of Christianity scare the Cons.
I don't buy the 'carbon credit' excuse. If you don't want pollutants in the air, buying these credits isn't going to erase what you've done, and I doubt he can afford to buy enough credits to erase flying everywhere he does to hawk this bs.
Never heard of Bill Mckibben.
WE DON'T NEED A QB BEFORE WE GET A LINE THAT CAN PROTECT HIM my two cents...
Well when you buy carbon credits, you're paying a (usually) 3rd world country not to industrialize (pollute). It does make sense when considering the net carbon emission, but I'm extremely torn on it. But that's the concept of it.
Bill McKibben is pretty cool. He's kinda the go to for climate change activism. He's published quite a few pieces about climate change and what we can do. He's also wrote about Climate Change and God by analyzing the book of Job. It's a pretty good read for Job stuff.
Well when you buy carbon credits, you're paying a (usually) 3rd world country not to industrialize (pollute). It does make sense when considering the net carbon emission, but I'm extremely torn on it. But that's the concept of it.
So, clarify this. Let's say I'm Al Gore. I can buy carbon credits, the money goes to some 3rd world country and I get their word that they will use that money to not pollute?
Thereby, I can pollute as much as I want, as long as I pay some 3rd world country to not pollute?
Shouldn't the goal be to not pollute as much - for EVERYONE, as opposed to paying someone in a 3rd world country to not pollute, so that I can?
What company is in charge of these "carbon credits"? Actually, I think I'll start a company that sells carbon credits. Sounds like a money maker to me.
Maybe I'm just seeing a money grab here. As long as I pay someone else to not pollute, I can pollute?
If you're Al Gore, A UN observer member+, or a corporation, you can buy carbon credits. It's an effective tool for those who "can't afford to stop polluting because it'd hurt the dow". The goal is to reduce pollution and it does the job.

How does Al Gore's use of fossil fuels for his personal and private enjoyment hurt the dow?
How does his supposed money paid (maybe to his own company) reduce pollution?
Go ahead Al, hurt the dow by shutting off your pool heater, and all the other nonsense crap you spend electrical dollars on.
Course, on the other side, a number of years ago I got a notice from my electrical supplier - Toledo Edison - that, since I didn't have electric heat, I would have to pay more per kilowatt hour than other people that WERE on electric heat.
So, by me using less electricity, I have to pay more? Oh yeah, got those pensions to fund.
Same as the town in California. They were told "conserve water, conserve, conserve, conserve". They did. After a year they were told "well, we didn't sell enough water to pay the bills (and pensions) so, thanks for conserving, but we're raising your water rate. Use less, pay more.

*LOL* ... like all the regs don't hurt the Dow ... WOW ... how can u say that with a straight face ... u bringing the Dow up in a climate change debate in a "positive" light ...
WOW ... just WOW ...
Must be my low intelligence ass can't figure it out ... ..

You're so far off it's hilarious. Your writing/comprehension skills are far superior to your reading skills. If you even think I mentioned the DOW in a positive light, then I'm giving you far too much credit.
I wasn't talking about Al Gore anymore. Really didn't want to in the first place. Don't know what the fascination is with him on the right. But carbon credits have shown to help multiple fortune 500 companies via taxes, subsidies, avoiding regulations and PR. Not to mention they supposedly help our world by reducing net carbon. There's a reason why so many companies use them and are the primary users of carbon credit.
Doesn't First Energy own Toledo Edison? First Energy was an investor owned utility company, so what do you expect? There seems to be a large disconnect in modern day capitalism, where companies are supposed to both look out for their consumers and not their investors. But yeah, sounds like people do stupid things to try to acquire currency.
Disclaimer: if u mention Al Gore again I probably won't respond because I don't care about Al Gore and he's a fly in an entire world of climate change. He is as microscopic as we are.

Ya ... what was i thinking ... guess i should have known somehow this was a negative post about the Dow .. ..
the majority are whining that they "think" they are being discriminated against.
got a taste of what it's like to be a minority and now y'all sound like a bunch of damn snowflakes.
whites are the majority in the labor force. the majority enrolled in college the majority represented in government the majority represented in the fortune 500 the majority in wealth. the majority in pretty much every aspect of american society.
the majority controls most of the state and local governments, the house of representatives, the senate, the oval, the supreme court, the justice system.
yet when the needle starts moving slowly toward EQUALITY, y'all call it discrimination?
all this thread proved is that you guys want to keep your superiority over minority demographics.
the moment y'all feel your privilege being threatened, it's a crap storm that has to be dealt with.
as a minority, watching white people cry about any sort of discrimination is hilarious.
welcome to our world. enjoy your stay.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

In 2017 the United States should stop labeling people. Labeling like the left does causes hate. We are not white, black, brown, etc.... we are Americans. As Americans all should have the same right and privilege.

Well, "whites", as you call them, ARE the majority in this country, aren't they?
That would, necessarily, make them the majority in the labor force, the majority enrolled in college, the majority represented in gov't, the majority represented in the fortune 500, the majority in wealth, and everything else.
I mean, doesn't being the majority mean just that? You're the majority? What am I missing here?
If there's more "whites".
By the way, I'm not white. I'm a Caucasian. Not certain what that means, just as I'm not certain what other labels mean.

so if you're the majority, why is your fellow peeps crying about being discriminated against?
you didn't even address the actual point of my post.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
there was a point, but as usual things fly over your head.
if there was no point, why comment?

What happened in Virginia was pure hate from each side. Then an unhinged individual committed a crime and needs to be punished to the full extent of the law.
Hate exists, it is real on both sides. The rhetoric being spewed in the media and by Democrats feeds that hate. It needs to stop.
This country should not see it self as divided. We have different political views yes. But, should be united in a common cause the Constitution.
