They’d have to remove one of the existing faces to make room. I’ll bet any amount at any odds it’d be Lincoln. Easy money.

Senator Kennedy on shutting down USAID: "To my friends who are upset.. call somebody who cares. You better get used to this. It’s USAID today, it’s going to be the Department of Education tomorrow."
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

If anybody else said that to their boss they'd get canned on the spot.

They act like we don't get anything for the money we put into USAID.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

Quote:I will tell you this: When people talk about me running for governor, I think it speaks highly about the governor himself. .....- I think when people see me, it is because they are so happy about everything that this governor has done for the state of Florida
-Casey Desantis, explaining the reason florida republicans were considering her as a dei hire for governor after hubby termed out was because her man was so damned awesome. When people see her, they think ron.
So do I, though I might exchange a vowel.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is being asked by Democrats to explain why his government-owned home needed an 'emergency' paint job which cost taxpayers $49 000. He called the question 'fake news'.
Not for nothing, but Hegseth reportedly has a net worth of $17 million.

Quote:A database released by Cruz this week formed the basis of an October report claiming over $2 billion of NSF's $9 billion budget went to "left-wing ideological crusades masked as 'academic research.'" The report also includes an appendix containing hundreds of DEI-related words. Parts of that appendix are currently being used by NSF staff to screen thousands of their active grants for compliance with President Trump's executive orders targeting diversity, equity and inclusion measures across the government.
"It's frustrating," says Brevik. "The sole goal was to share what's happening with everybody. It's not propaganda; there's no background agenda. Our goal is to help educate our youth."
[...]
The database included research grants from all corners of the country, large research institutions and small colleges. The list included projects aimed at finding better ways of synthesizing new medications; studying how to make self-driving vehicles safer; investigating how military service could help more women pursue science careers; figuring out why some proteins start to malfunction in ways that can lead to cancer.
[...]
Her NSF grant supports a project aimed at helping teachers and students develop community-based science research on the causes and effects of extreme heat and urban heat islands in racially and ethnically diverse communities, which are hit harder than suburban communities, which tend to be whiter and more affluent.
"The radical work that is being attacked is students walking around in their community, collecting temperature data or looking at maps and identifying a local issue of heat," she says. The overarching goal of her work is to try to understand "how do we get students to see themselves as scientists or science type people?"
