Neo-Nazi Flyers Attacking Black Lives Matter Appear at Texas Homes Just Days after Election Declared White supremacist flyers which included swastikas appeared outside the homes of people in Texas one day after Joe Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 election over Donald Trump.
The racist notes were left at numerous homes in Van, Texas a and attacked the Black Lives Matter movement. “The entire country is sick of your ****,” the flyer reads. “Sick of the
lawlessness, sick of the riots, sick of the threats and demands. The only thing you’ve managed to accomplish in all of this is to live up to the ghetto stereotypes. Congratulations.” The flyer also dipicted the Nazi Flag and was spread over many neighborhoods, The flyer was also mentioned on several Social media platforms including Facebook. The flyers, which state they are from a “pro white org fighting for the white race” called the 14First. This is the same group that did a similar thing in neighborhoods in San Antonio. According to a Van Police department spokesman said, the issue has been referred to the Federal Bureau of Investrigation. As of press time Van Police would not divulge how many flyers have been recovered. Lone Star Shopper has contacted Dallas FBI for more comment.

Many Texas families say remote learning isn’t working and they want it fixed had the authority to keep By Aliyya Swaby
November 20, 2020
Almost midway through the school year, it has become increasingly clear that virtual learning is failing a sizable number of Texas public school students whose parents decided to keep them home as COVID-19 grips the state. The disturbing number of students posting failing grades while trying to learn in front of computer screens has also brought into sharper focus the failure of state education and political leaders to prepare for an academic year they knew would be like no other. Over the last month, The Texas Tribune has interviewed more than 30 educators, students, parents and experts across the state about their experiences with remote learning. Parents and students describe a system in which kids are failing, not necessarily because they don’t understand the material, but because the process of teaching them is so broken that it’s difficult to succeed. Teachers say they are scrambling to retool education, creating new videos and online lessons from scratch and struggling with new demands and limited time. They blame state leaders for squandering valuable months over the summer by delaying key decisions, frequently reversing course and sending conflicting messages to educators on the ground. Instead of immediately giving local school officials the guidelines and tools needed to prepare, state leaders waffled on policies that school communities needed to make their decisions. They challenged local health officials over who
classrooms closed in areas with high coronavirus infection rates, feeding uncertainty about when and where students would return to classrooms. By the time the fog cleared, school officials had mere weeks to roll out plans for the fall semester, including training teachers, students and parents on new technology; designing ways to keep track of students falling through the cracks; and upholding some semblance of academic rigor. The Texas Education Agency indicated it has done the best it could in limited time, working throughout the pandemic to continue providing resources for districts thinking about remote, hybrid and in-person instruction. Students are now paying the price, and the highest is being exacted from students Texas already struggled to educate. According to a Texas Tribune analysis, school districts with mostly Black, Hispanic and low-income students have higher shares of students learning from home. And state data showed those students were less likely to be engaged in online learning in the spring, when all schools were online. “There’s a level of fatigue with this that, given the way that the distance curriculum is being structured, is just wearing on kids and families in a way that’s really untenable, especially in those communities that were already disadvantaged before this,” said Benjamin Cottingham, who has studied the quality of remote learning in California and put out recommendations on how districts can im-
prove. A squandered summer Confusion and uncertainty have marked Texas’ response to the pandemic across all fronts. Constantly changing, confusing top-down guidance from Gov. Greg Abbott this spring eventually led to surges in the number of Texans hospitalized and dead from COVID-19. As the Trump administration aggressively pushed schools to reopen their doors — seeing it as the key to invigorate a slumping economy — Abbott and Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath decided all Texas schools would be required to open their doors to all students who wanted to return in person, but must also be prepared to teach remotely those who did not want to return. But guidelines on how to do both those jobs effectively and safely were delayed for weeks this summer as Abbott reconsidered his handsoff approach to the pandemic. By late June, the TEA had promised it would keep state funds flowing to districts for the students who attended remotely, and it began offering districts a little more flexibility as it became clear the pandemic was getting worse. In July and August, state leaders publicly bickered with local health authorities who wanted to keep classrooms closed during COVID-19 spikes, eventually taking away some of their authority to make those decisions. As state leaders put out conflicting mandates, school superintendents attempted to prepare for the fall ahead. They repeatedly surveyed families, trying to figure out how to cater to two groups of students, some coming to school in person and others staying home.

DON’T LET MONEY FIGHTS STEAL YOUR JOY Dear Dave, My husband and I usually have a few disagreements around the holidays when it comes to Christmas spending. Do you have any advice for eliminating this kind of thing, and making the financial side of Christmas a little less stressful? Kellie Dear Kellie, I imagine every couple has a few disagreements over Christmas spending. The trick is in how you handle them, and come to a compromise you each feel is fair, smart, and affordable. One of the keys is to start talking before you start shopping. Being on the same page—and creating a plan and sticking to it—are great ways to bring peace and togetherness into the picture. Honestly, Christmas spending can be part of your monthly cash flow plan the whole year. Get the picture? I’m talking

about living on a written, monthly budget. You know Christmas is December 25th every, single, year, so why not set aside a little each month leading up to the holidays? If you haven’t planned ahead, now is a great time to become a unified team. Huddle up, not only to talk about Christmas priorities, but devise a game plan moving forward so that this doesn’t happen again next year. Together, figure all your regular monthly income and expenses into a budget. If you’ve saved anything at all for Christmas, include that, as well. We’ve all got necessities, so take of those first. Then, make a general list of everything you’d like to spend money on for Christmas—I’m talking about the things we often overlook like food, cards, party expenses, and decorations. Now,
make a gift list. Write a dollar amount beside each name or expense on your lists, and if the grand total is the same as—or less than—your Christmas budget total, you’re ready to roll! If you can’t agree, or the numbers don’t work, run through things again. This doesn’t mean to repeat your positions until you get what you want. It means both of you acting like mature, responsible adults, finding some middle ground, and making sacrifices. If you really want to show your commitment, you and your spouse can sign your new budget. Signing your name is a simple, psychological signal that means you’re committed to your agreement. Then, post it somewhere you’ll both see it regularly. Give it a try, Kellie. It just might help reinforce your commitment to the budget—and each other—when the shopping frenzy sets in! —Dave * Dave Ramsey is a seven-time #1 national best-selling author, personal finance expert, and host of The Dave Ramsey Show, heard by more than 16 million listeners each week.

SAYING PRESIDENT ELECT. IS IT TIME YET?
Have you ever wondered where the term President Elect orginated? This usage of the term -elect originated in the Catholic Church, where bishops were elected but would not take office until ordained. ... By the 19th century, the term had expanded to describe any position in which a substantial period of time elapses between election and installation. The term entered politics with the practice of elective monarchy. For example, the Holy Roman Emperor was elected by a college of prince-electors, but the winning candidate would not become emperor until he was crowned by the pope. Between election and coronation, he was known as the imperator electus, or Emperor-elect. By the 19th century, the term had expanded to describe any position in which a substantial period of time elapses between election and installation. For example, it was common in the 19th century to refer to a fiancée as a bride-elect. The bylaws of some clubs and other organizations may define an official position of president-elect similar to a vice president position. The members of the organization elect the president-elect, rather than directly electing the organization’s president.[1 The president-elect may be given limited duties, similar to a Vice-President. At the end of the term, the president-elect is promoted to the position of president, and a new president-elect is elected. The advantage of this schema is a clear continuity of succession, as well as the opportunity to familiarize the president-elect with the operations of the organization before becoming president. A possible drawback is that once a president-elect has been elected, another person cannot be elected president unless the president-elect resigns or is removed from office The position of president-elect is different from someone who was elected president and is called “president-elect” between the time of
election and the start of the term. For example, if an election for president was held in January, but the term of office does not begin until March, the person who was elected president may be called “president-elect” but does not hold any power until the term begins in March. On the other hand, someone in the position of president-elect has all the powers of that position that the bylaws provide. Similarly, organizations may have other official positions such as vice president-elect, secretary-treasurer-elect, director-elect, and chairelect. Now on to the issue at hand. What about the President Of The United States? The president-elect of the United States is the person who conclusively appears to have won a presidential election in the United States but has yet to take office as President. The president-elect takes office after the oath of office is administered during the presidential inauguration. Here’s something I’ll bet you didn’t know? Sort of a Sheldon Cooper “Fun Fact”. While Election Day is held in early November, the formal voting by the members of the Electoral College takes place in mid-December, and the presidential inauguration is then usually held on January 20. The only constitutional provision pertaining directly to the person who has won the presidential election is their availability to take the oath of office. There is no indication when that person actually becomes president-elect. Since 1963, U.S. federal law has empowered the General Services Administration to determine who the apparent election winner is and to help facilitate the basic functioning of the president-elect’s transition team. By convention, during the period between the election and the inauguration, the president-elect actively prepares to carry out the duties of the office of president and works with the outgoing (or lame duck) president to ensure a smooth handover of all presidential responsibili-
ties. Incumbent presidents who have won re-election for a second term are generally not referred to as presidents-elect as they are already in office and are not waiting to become president. Likewise, if a vice president succeeds to the presidency by way of the president’s death, resignation or removal (via impeachment) from office, that person is not referred to as president-elect as they become president immediately. On the other hand, a sitting vice president who is elected president is referred to as president-elect. One more “fun fact” before I go. Following the 2020 presidential elec-
tion, Joe Biden was declared the president-elect of the United States by media outlets and some prominent Republicans, including former president George W. Bush. This is based on public election results, and his victory is yet to be officially confirmed by the General Services Administration or the deciding vote of the Electoral College. By the way, would you be so kind as to show me in our U.S. Constitution where it says the media announces who our next President is? Thank you for reading the Lone Star Shopper. Have A great week. I’m pullin’ for ya!
