    Bobby, It doesn't surprise me that I have posted that statement before, as I am now encountering Dementia as well as Memory Deterioration.

    So that is just unwarranted stupidity showing its head, and I am now sorry that I have posted it.

    I'm glad this has no effect on my Piano Playing, however!

    Biden has announced his choice for the Secretary of Education and it is a transgender person.
    Since Biden has already made it known that he thinks grade school children should be able to make up their own minds which gender they want to be, it would seem that choosing a transgender person to lead education in this country would be a step towards furthering this .

    The Fed needs to get the heck out of education. It is not an enumerated power.

    Haven't all modern day Presidents-President Elects made mistakes? For myself, I still think like a farmer.........only interested in my livestock and crops.

    Depends on what kind of "mistake" this is.

    Did he accidentally err in his judgement, or did he intentionally err in his duties?

    Perhaps trying, and possibly succeeding, in pleasing the GLTQ community? I mean, he is already totally please the black community with Harris.

    Oh boy, I can tell someone here likes you, Beth. They just deleted my posts. How dare someone do that to ME!!!

    Anyway, I still think it's to please the communities I mentioned. Why else would he appoint a trans to the position?

    Perhaps Joe needs someone in office and close to him to help him out with his own latent tendencies.

    I have often wondered why men who are not particularly good looking believe that being a woman would make them any better looking.

    To be serious, if those in office who have a “propensity” toward being the opposite gender of what they are would quit advertising it, I might accidentally think they’re half way smart.
