As an outcome of a 1970’s era court decision regarding the racial constructs of the student population, if there are too many non-minority students the school budget is reduced. The Los Angeles Unified School District provides more funding for schools where the white population is below 30 percent.
NORTH HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES (KABC) — Outrage has grown at Walter Reed Middle School in North Hollywood, as the school faces layoffs and increased class sizes due to a law limiting funds for schools with a higher white student body.
The Los Angeles Unified School District provides more funding for schools where the white population is below 30 percent. In a letter to parents, the district noted the highly regarded middle school had been above the percentage for the past couple years.
The racial formula was a condition imposed by court decisions dealing with desegregation in the 1970s. Parents, however, remain frustrated with what the cuts might mean for their children. (read more)

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Well, don’t say we didn’t predict this reality.  The Democrats are smartly not waiting for any recovery efforts by Republicans; and immediately following the failure of President Trump’s healthcare repeal and replacement approach, Senator Bernie Sanders begins putting their ‘single provider’ alternative together.

The strategy is, unfortunately, brilliant.  When Obamacare further collapses, and all Americans are being further crushed by the skyrocketing costs, at exactly the moment when the American electorate are at their most frustrated and everyone is in crisis mode – whammo, here’s the solution.
All of the previous opposition to single-provider has been kicked out of the Democrat party.  [Blue Dogs Dispatched] The DNC will unify, as one single voting bloc without a single representative in divergence, behind the Sanders proposal.
As ObamaCare explodes, the factional infighting between the purists in Hillary’s Favorite Republican Caucus and various GOPe proposals will continue.  Directly into this void of leadership will flow the single-provider plan, just as the Democrats and the coordinated media messaging tell the American electorate the solution is right there:

“Medicare for all”.

South Carolina representative, Trey Gowdy, appears on Face The Nation to say he believes Chairman Devin Nunes briefed the commander-in-chief on matters unrelated to the Russia investigation. “So if that’s a big deal in Washington, then we’ve sunk to a new low.”
The Democrat Minority leader on the House Intelligence Community has Schiff for brains. Gowdy explains that FBI Director James Comey and NSA head Admiral Mike Rogers will appear again before the House Intelligence Committee.

Texas Republican Congressman Ted Poe has announced he is giving up membership in Hillary’s Favorite Caucus over their unwillingness to support President Trump:

“I have resigned from the House Freedom Caucus,” Poe said in a statement. “In order to deliver on the conservative agenda we have promised the American people for eight years, we must come together to find solutions to move this country forward. Saying no is easy, leading is hard, but that is what we were elected to do.
Leaving this caucus will allow me to be a more effective Member of Congress and advocate for the people of Texas. It is time to lead.”  “Some only want to be the party of ‘no’ & would’ve voted against the 10 commandments,” (link)

Congressman Poe’s exit from #NeverTrump leaves 29 remaining members.
We now await the most important person to leave the caucus, the first follower.

Strong, concise and direct presentation by Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney today during an interview with Chuck Toad.
The primary topic was, as with all discussion topics today, the failed healthcare reform bill, and Mulvaney outlines the severity of the broken DC system against the backdrop of a UniParty in full revolt against any attempt at swamp draining.  However, that said, Director Mulvaney clearly and concisely outlines how the administration is moving forward toward the next objective, tax reform.
Will the UniParty again seek self-swamp-preservation by destroying any tax reform legislation?  Unless something dramatic happens, the most likely answer is yes.

Hillary’s Favorite Caucus member Jim Jordan appears on Fox News Sunday to talk about the caucus position that only their HFC ideology is worth of representing 360+ million Americans in legislation.
Ohio Rep Jim Jordan explains to a combative Chris Wallace that the HFC alone is the only caucus representing the American People; and their job is doing only what the American people want.  Wallace argues back the HFC position might not represent the cares and concerns of millions of Americans.  Jordan puts Wallace back in his place by reminding him that only the HFC has an understanding of what Americans want, no-one else.
