Embarrassing test scores
It’s really scary that the school district accepts that 75% students don’t meet state standards in math and 66% don’t meet the standards in reading. That is embarrassing. It’s a shame that the teachers will get a new contract. And the taxpayers will continue dumping money into this broken system. If this wasn’t a public entity it would have been bankrupt years ago.

Thanks for the leaf cleaning
A lot of us write complaints about the city, including myself. Today I want to write a thank you for the leaf cleaning that took place on our street last week. I am on a one-way street, and I saw a city truck and people with leaf blowing and cleaning up our leaves. We saw this last year as well. It is nice to see tax dollars put to good use. We have a few senior citizens who live on our street, so I know it was very beneficial to them.

Art of the Deal
Peace has finally come to the Middle East, all thanks to the “Art of the Deal” initiator aka “The Donald.”
Not since Jimmy Carter has brokered peace in the Middle East between Anwar Sadat and Menachem Begin has a U.S. president been successful to bring peace into that region again, until now.
The once beloved real estate mogul who brought forth the magnificent skyline of New York City with Trump Towers, to the casinos in Atlantic City, as well as to be the star of his own highly rated TV show, The Apprentice, to become the most hated person in American politics.
So to all the stokers of hate against Donald Trump from the Hollywood left, eat your heart out.
Because the world has just witnessed the Eighth Wonder of the World added to President Trump’s accolades, the one and only “The Peacemaker,” because he is, the Art of the Deal.
