Stop giving the 'left' and their agenda the attention they want. The more attention they get, the worse the country gets. Every sensible person knows that you cannot change a gender; male, female as created by God, not science.

I agree with you, but we need to keep fighting to make it a two sided issue. Diversity is just that Divisive. With the scores from CPS they need to focus on the 3 Rs and not outside stuff.

The GOP is creating these fake "problems" to appeal to the ignorant and divide us. Instead, they should focus on real issues that affect all of us, like access to healthcare, support for educators, and the epidemic of gun violence.

So we immediately have the gender issue side here describing all who disagree with them as ignorant and blaming the GOP for daring to focus on an issue that is of concern to parents. Say they, it's not lawmakers or parents who know better. They are our kids now. We need them for party control.

Focus on economy, free lunch for school, climate, selling farmlands to foreign countries, and many more. Let people live the lives they choose! No matter what gender they may be. Show me State means be a leader in the nation not a follower of a few citizens beliefs This is a FREE COUNTRY.

It's about time they got focused on it. These LGBTQ communities fought for their right to be that way for awhile well now it's time to protect those of us who still believe in traditional genders. They have become too blatant. Time for restoration. They can learn privacy.

This is not a gender issue. It is a larger cultural war being forced on middle America with Republicans being their only defense. One only has to look to the Peoples Republic of Columbia School Board to understand the real consequences. The real question should be why is this even an issue.

We need to continue the battle to have our voices heard. The libs are relentless and do not let up, if we are not vocal they work to negate our rights to our beliefs, just as CPS is doing to concerned parents and taxpayers over the drag show. They have a right to their concerns just as they libs.

I think it's about time they talk about it and decide to keep it out of our school curriculum! To many schools these days are praising LBGQ and it needs to stop kids are to young and they need guidance from their parents not school officials! I do believe something has to be done !!!

Are liberal news stations too focused on gender issues? Normal people are XX or XY. What's the fuss all about?

Trump and his goons in every state in every department are running it into the ground acting like it's the best thing ever and it's not. People are suffering now more then his first term or even during Biden term

Then, you prefer the 9% inflation for 4 straight years, instead of 2.9%. Where did you get your economics degree?

That was during a period of worldwide inflation ... and we were actually doing better than most other advanced countries. Inflation is higher now than when Biden left office.

Compare November 2025 to November 2026 ... roughly same and 2026 figure was held down by the government shutdown. Let's check back at this time next year and you try to explain away the recession.

Inflation is less than 1/3rd of when Biden was in office. Fix your calculator.

The U.S. dollar dominates the world economy due to its role as the primary reserve currency, backed by the massive U.S. economy, unmatched financial market liquidity, and historical inertia since the 1944 Bretton Woods system. It facilitates 88% of global exchange transactions, 54% of trade

Incidentally, our previous president has not acquired enough money to build his presidential library, not even enough money for a presidential magazine stand.

Thee truth is hard for some to swallow. Maybe you could find a Biden or Obama clip to watch?

I didn't but have total support for the vast majority of what he has accomplished and is trying to accomplish. The country was harmed greatly by the Democrats, they plundered our wealth, Republicans also played a hand. No more.

Do a little research on how our national debt has grown under republican presidents compared to democrats. Also see how Reagan and "trickle down economics" is what put us on the path to financial ruin while creating the tremendous wealth inequality we see today.

Going back nearly fifty years, when I was in the military, and Carter was the president, the military was starving. As an E-6 with a wife and two children, legally, I qualified for food stamps. Instead, I got a part-time job. Carter, was a far better president than Obama, and Biden. Facts are tough.

You got tired of that with 8 years of Obama and 4 years of Biden. That's over, now.
