Trump continues with something new everyday, and since the federal government is big enough, there's always gonna be somethingnewtohighlight. Trump and Elon just announced the Department f Government Efficiency or DOGE, has shutdown the USAID slush fund, which stopped stupid spending $1.5MIL to advance DEI in Serbian workplaces, $70K for the productionofaDEImusical in Ireland, $47K for a transgender opera in Columbia, and $32K for a transgender comic book in Peru. The once all is finally added up against all spectrums of the government, is going to be massive, and with Musk an expert on business efficiency making the U S Government as efficient as one of his companies, it’s gonna be incredible Democratpoliticsisallabig scam,andit’sfinallycoming toahead. ThankGod.

the end of the day, looked discombobulated, with some of his friends (longtime retired educators) chiming in with nonsense just as equal. I wrote a seemingly innocent response subtle but effective. “Just a word of advice It’s best not to immediately overreact to what he (Trump) says. Very many with above average intelligence (falsely giving them hope) wind up with eggontheirface,whentheir thinking processes become commandeered with animal impulses smelling blood; onlytobebaitandswitched by the end of the day I'd advise you to wait to comment, until you know what he has actually done.” In effect I was saying, I saying, ‘Trumpgotyouagain.’

AndthisweekWHPress Secretary Karoline Leavitt tore into Senate minority leader,ChuckSchumer,who is so out of touch with the Americanpeople. Schumer, who has the charisma of a dried-up corn cob, spoke on Monday complaining of the tariffs but his speech had little significance, and no one was listening. He held up a pint of Mexican beer, whining about its increased costs, but that was before Trump’s deal with the Mexican president, making Schumer look a fool. Of course, Schumer cares not for the lives that are being saved by preventing dangerous crossings by illegal immigrants much less forAmericans that will be saved by not having illegals kill or injure legal citizensonourstreets.

Austin,Texas– Senator Paul Bettencourt (RHouston) proudly joins Chairman B
ndon Creighton, author of SB2 and fellow Republican members of the Senate Education Committee in supportingSenateBill2,the Texas Education Freedom Act,markingahistoricstep forward in providing universal school choice to allTexasfamilies.
"An old saying is iron sharpens iron, so shall school choice sharpen the entire Texas education system," said Senator Bettencourt. "Senate Bill 2 empowers parents and prioritizes students success with providing comprehensive educational savings accounts (ESAs) to allow Texas families the freedom to choose the educational environment that best suits theirchildren."Headded.
Key Features of Senate Bill2:
• Universal Access: All Texas students whether entering school for the first time, currently enrolled in public school, private school,orhomeschool—are eligibletoapply
• Prioritization: If applications exceed the 100,000-student cap, 80% of available spots will be allocated to students from low-incomehouseholdsand thosewithdisabilities.
• Funding Allocation: Each participating student will receive at least $2,000 annuallyinanESA.
Students attending accredited private schools will receive $10,000 annually with $11 500 allocated for students with disabilities.
• Accountability and Safeguards: The legislation includes stringent anti-
fraud measures, mandatory background checks for vendors, and robust data protections to ensure transparencyandproperuse offunds.
"By offering ESAs with anti-fraud provisions, we are not only providing choices but also fostering a competitive environment that can lead to improvements across the entire education system” said Sen
"Senate Bill 2 aligns with a growing national movement toward educational choice, that I've seen in 32 other states that have successfully implemented similar programs " He added.
Senate Bill 2 represents years of dedicated effort by the Texas Senate to pass meaningful school choice legislation Previous sessions have seen various
iterations of school choice proposals pass the Senate, but ultimately stall in the Texas House However, with the continued leadership of Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick and the strong support of Governor GregAbbott, this session presents a unique opportunity to finally deliveronthispriority
"On a historical note, I pa
a tax credit scholarshipoutoftheTexas Senate in 2019, so the Education Committee has been promoting versions of school choice for 6 years. I expect the Texas Education FreedomActtomovetothe flooroftheTexasSenatefor debate following todays hearing under Senator Creighton's leadership." He concluded.

If you are looking for a littlebedroomactiononthe weekends until February 9th, I know of a place in Montgomery County, where you can get some. Waitasecond!! Thatcame outwrong. Butthereisone placeinConroe,whereyou can see some bedroom action,thatwillmakeyour cheeks sore before you leave the place. What the heck is wrong with this opening?!! Yeah,that’snot gonnaflyeither Let’sjust tellyou,beforeanyonegets into trouble that The Players Theatre Company in Conroe has a wonderful production of ‘Bedroom Farce,’ which involves three bedrooms and four couples. Hmm, yeah, you can guess what's gonna happen;buttrulythere'sno realhanky-pankygoingon. Well maybe a kiss, and a wife in a towel after a shower. But that’s it Really Phew! The play was written by British p l a y w r i g h t A l a n Ayckbourn in the mid1970’s, so you will hear references to ‘tea,’ eating fish in bed, as well as see real rotary dial phones ringing that have actual lines to the wall. Oh, and we meant the ‘cheeks’ on either side of your nose, and not the other You know lol.
If you love to laugh, which is exercise by the way, you are gonna love Bedroom Farce Bedrooms are generally private, thank goodness; and contain things like beds,bedbugs,andpeople. Scratch the second one for

Three bedrooms make up the set with imaginary walls, the same color as WonderWoman'sinvisible jet, which looks breathtakinghangingintheSmithsonian. Theactorstakegreat care not to hit the walls, because with the furniture placement like in Ernest (MarkWilson)andDelia’s (Peggy Sampson) bedroom,well,itcangetalittle tight.

e celebrating an anniversary night. In the middle you have Nick (Shawn Havranek) and Jan (Erin Wright) with Nick confinedtobedwithaback injury Poorguy,doesthat hurt? They are a younger couple, but haven't been together all that long. On the left, you also have a younger couple, Malcolm (Jeff Merriman) and Kate (Cindy Sipple), who are readying to throw a party, in a room that needs some attention.You ought to see theinvisiblewalls,thereis alotofworkneeded. They kidaroundwitheachother, which is lovable The fourth couple in this tale, Trevor (Jamie Ballard),
and Susannah (Mandy Hall), we’ll see them in a fewseconds. Hangon.
TheplaystartsasErnest and Delia prepare for their anniversary dinner night out, but Ernest is concernedwithalltherain,and the state of his gutters and moisture gathering in the house. Thereissomesmall talkoftheirsonTrevorand his wife. When the action shifts to the left bedroom, Malcolm and Kate, who are in the midst of preparingfortheirhousewarming party,realizethattheyhave both invited the infamous fourth couple, which causesastir,becauseofthe constant disruptions that TrevorandSusannahcause atparties. RightafterKate finishes her shower, and is in nothing but a towel, Trevor pops into the bedroom to start venting, forcingKatetoseekshelter underthecoverofthebed. In the meantime, Trevor,
unaware of her predicament, jumps onto the coversrightbesideher All wecansayis,beprepared. We then move to the middle bedroom, where Nickhashurthisback,and is bedridden unable to move His wife Jan is Trevor s ex-girlfriend which makes it even more interesting She arrives and readies herself for Malcolm and Kate’s party, planning for a short stay Jan leaves Nick a book to read as, but it falls to the floor, and eventually results in his painful drop to the floor that makes the situationevenworse. And those Old English hardwoods make a distinct noise when a human thuds onto it It’s a wonder Nick’s not paralyzed Nappy time, bro. Back at MacolmandKate’swefind Susannah in bed with covered Kate, with Sus panickingaboutgettingold
Switching back to Ernest and Delia’s side, they’ve arrived back from dinner, deeply disappointed with complaints galore. They finallysettleon‘Sardineon Toast in Bed in bed?
Yuck. And there is talk of s-e-x, but I’ll leave that to you to get the joke. Plus there is so much more that willhaveyourolling.
B e d r o o m F a r c e guarantees you ll have a great time, and you might actually want to do some preparatorystretching. Be sure and exercise your neck,jaw andcheeks,you know; the ones to the left andrightofyournose. The actionandlaughpointsare constant, so be ready at all times. You’ll be amazed who winds up in bed with who,andwhathappensina particular bed. Here’s an idea, make a bet amongst your party, about who winds up in Ernest and Delia’s bed. You’ll find out who is a clutz in assembling things, and which couple contorts themselves, and so much more. It’scleanandhonest fun, and it will give you a great frame of reference to use, should you ever wind up in a situation just as what happens on stage Hopefully you have no troubled couples in your family

The set was nicely done, and The Players Theater continues to impress in that arena. The bedroom walls that are not invisible represent the houses that are maintained by the individual households. Malcolm and Kate areinafixer-upper,sotheir bedroom wall has some wallpaper that is falling down,andwallsthatneeda coatofpaint. KudostoSet DesignersRogerOrmiston and Jeff M
