  I hope you have a nice day. (Maybe period 6 will be cancelled for an event in the auditorium.)

    Thanks. No such luck. It got a little hairy there with period 6 today. They were sort of good until the last ten minutes when they started throwing coins around the room. I nearly blew a gasket. It got real quiet then. Unfortunately, I didn’t see the culprits; they always take action when my back is turned and with nearly 40 of them in there it’s hard to tell what’s going on sometimes. But I found out who. Teachers have their ways! Went straight to the Dean after school and this will be nipped in the bud come tomorrow. (fingers crossed!)

.You Can’t Fake It

A general strike could transform American politics. But we’re nowhere near being able to call one.

.Israeli Knesset set to vote on ‘unconstitutional’ Palestinian land appropriation bill

The Israeli Knesset on Monday night is scheduled to vote on the so-called “Regularization Bill,” which, if passed, will appropriate hundreds of hectares of Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank by legalizing — under Israeli law — thousands of settlement units built on privately owned Palestinian land.

.Is The Trump Administration Already Over?

Hopes for the Trump administration are not burning brightly. Trump’s military chief, Gen. Mattis, is turning out to be true to his “mad dog” nickname. He has just declared that Iran “is the single biggest state sponsor of terrorism in the world”. Where is the evidence for this ignorant accusation? There is none.

If truth be spoken, there are only two terrorist countries in the world: Israel and the US. Israel terrorizes Palestinians and has done so for about 70 years. The US terrorizes the rest of the world.
