Grand Central Station
I thought this was most interesting. In case you didn’t know… (I didn’t.) I think this will be of interest not only to New Yorkers, but to everyone. Did you ever hear of this installation below Grand Central Station? This was a bit of history that most have never heard of, forward thinking by some brilliant men.

Oklahoma school replaces chalkboards, finds 98 year old drawings and lessons hidden behind them

When contractors began work on four classrooms of Emerson High School in Oklahoma, they knew their remodel would improve education — but they never expected it would impact local history.Looking to upgrade the rooms with new whiteboards and smartboards, the workers had to first remove the outdated chalkboards.

But when they began to pull away the old boards, they made a startling discoveryBeneath the current boards rested another set of chalkboards — untouched for nearly 100 years. Protected and totally undisturbed, the century-old writings and drawings looked like they were made just yesterday. Here, a November calendar rolls into December. A turkey marks the celebration of Thanksgiving.

A multiplication table gives us a glimpse into the curriculum and methods taught in 1917, techniques perhaps lost in the passage of time. When regarding a wheel of multiplication, Principal Sherry Kishore told The Oklahoman, “I have never seen that technique in my life.”But Oklahoma City school officials aren’t just shocked by what is written, but how it is written. Penmanship like this is clearly a lost art. This board reads, “I give my head, my heart, and my life to my God and One nation indivisible with justice for all.”

Within each of the four rooms, the subject matter and lessons mirrored one another — indicating, as an Oklahoma Public School Twitter caption reads, “aligned curriculum in 1917.”

And though the boards’ style and subject matter might be unfamiliar to younger folks, they certainly resonate with older generations. Principal Kishore told The Oklahoman what it was like to show her 85-year-old mother the boards: “She just stood there and cried. She said it was exactly like her classroom was when she was going to school.”

But these boards actually predate Principal Kishore’s mother by 13 years. Two dates were found on the boards: November 30, 1917, and December 4, 1917.Some of the writings and drawings were done by students, while others were made by teachers — but i’s not always clear whose is whose.Regardless, the work is a striking look into days long gone. While reading the boards — like this one listing “My Rules To Keep Clean” — the past comes alive in a very personal way.

English teacher Cinthea Comer told The Oklahoman, “It was so eerie because the colors were so vibrant it looked like it was drawn the same day. To know that it was drawn 100 years ago… it’s like you’re going into a looking glass into the past.”Built in 1895, Emerson High School has seen many renovations and improvements throughout the years — but nothing like this has ever been discovered.

When removing old chalkboards in the past, contractors have only found broken pipes and wires, so this is a shocking surprise. Oklahoma City and the school district are now working to preserve these beautiful boards.Hopefully, the spirit of these teachers and their students will be enjoyed for many years to come. Who knew that scribbles on a chalkboard could become such a precious piece of history.

Did you know that we now have a Muslim government?

Never have there been in our government, so many individuals who belong to a religion that you either join or you will be killed?

When you read this you will understand why Obama refuses to say the words “radical Islam.”

John Brennan, current head of the CIA converted to Islam while stationed in Saudi Arabia.

Obama’s top advisor, Valerie Jarrett, is a Muslim who was born in Iran where her parents still live.

Hillary Clinton’s top advisor, Huma Abedin is a Muslim, whose mother and brother are involved in the now outlawed Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.

Assistant Secretary for Policy Development for Homeland Security, Arif Aikhan, is a Muslim.

Homeland Security Advisor, Mohammed Elibiary, is a Muslim.

Obama advisor and founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council, Salam al-Marayati, is a Muslim.

Obama’s Sharia Czar, Imam Mohamed Magid, of the Islamic Society of North America is a Muslim.

Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships, Eboo Patel, is a Muslim.

It’s questionable if Obama ever officially took the oath of office when he was sworn in. He didn’t repeat the oath properly to defend our nation and our Constitution. Later the Democrats claimed he was given the oath again in private?

CIA director John Brennan took his oath on a copy of the Constitution, not a Bible.

Congressman, Keith Ellison took his oath on a copy of the Qur’an.

Congresswoman Michele Bachman was vilified and almost tarred and feathered by Democrats when she voiced her concern about Muslims taking over our government.

Considering all these appointments, it would explain why Obama and his minions are systematically destroying our nation, supporting radical Muslim groups worldwide, opening our southern border, and turning a blind eye to the genocide being perpetrated on Christians all over Africa and the Middle East.

The more damage Obama does, the more arrogant he becomes!

Our nation and our government has been infiltrated by people who want to destroy us. It can only get worse!

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A MUST SEE AND PASS ON. IT WILL PROBABLY BE TAKEN OFF THE INTERNET SOON. OBAMA SURPRISED

Subject: THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A MUST SEE AND PASS ON. IT WILL PROBABLY BE TAKEN OFF THE INTERNET SOON. OBAMA SURPRISED

Some people finally got it right. Racists Democrats in the South.

This video is short and sweet. Without this attitude on the part of every American our country will go into the trash bin of history as a suicide.
Everyone just needs to view this one! The news sure will never make any mention of this. Please pass this to your friends !!!
If this doesn’t say it, nothing will.

AMAZING NRA Support from where you’d least expect it. Obama didn’t see this coming — so please pass it on quickly as it will most likely be pulled and deleted

A Welfare joke… don’t read if you have no sense of humor…..

A WOMAN WALKS INTO THE DOWNTOWN WELFARE OFFICE, TRAILED BY 15 KIDS.

‘WOW,’ THE SOCIAL WORKER EXCLAIMS, ‘ARE THEY ALL YOURS?’ ‘YEP, THEY’RE ALL MINE,’ THE FLUSTERED MOMMA SIGHS, HAVING HEARD THAT QUESTION A THOUSAND TIMES BEFORE.

SHE SAYS, ‘SIT DOWN TERRY.’ ALL THE CHILDREN RUSH TO FIND SEATS.

‘WELL,’ SAYS THE SOCIAL WORKER, ‘THEN YOU MUST BE HERE TO SIGN UP.
I’LL NEED ALL YOUR CHILDREN’S NAMES.’ ”WELL, TO KEEP IT SIMPLE, THE BOYS ARE ALL NAMED TERRY AND THE
GIRLS ARE ALL NAMED TERRI.”

IN DISBELIEF, THE CASE WORKER SAYS, ‘ARE YOU SERIOUS? THEY’RE ALL NAMED TERRY?’
THEIR MOMMA REPLIED, ‘WELL, YES – IT MAKES IT EASIER. WHEN IT’S TIME TO
GET THEM OUT OF BED AND READY FOR SCHOOL, I YELL, TERRY!

AN’ WHEN IT’S TIME FOR DINNER, I JUST YELL TERRY!
AND THEY ALL COME A RUNNING. AND IF I NEED TO STOP THE KID WHO’S RUNNING INTO THE STREET, I JUST YELL TERRY AND ALL OF THEM STOP. IT’S THE SMARTEST IDEA I EVER HAD, NAMING THEM ALL TERRY.’

THE SOCIAL WORKER THINKS THIS OVER FOR A BIT, THEN WRINKLES HER FOREHEAD
AND SAYS TENTATIVELY, ‘BUT WHAT IF YOU JUST WANT ONE KID TO COME, AND NOT THE WHOLE BUNCH?’

‘THEN I CALL THEM BY THEIR LAST NAMES.’

Water, Water.. this explains a lot!

WATER

How many folks do you know who say
they don’t want to drink anything before going to bed
because they’ll have to get up during the night!!

Something else I didn’t know … I asked my Doctor why
do people need to urinate so much at night time.

Answer from my Cardiac Doctor:
Gravity holds water in the
lower part of your body when you are upright (legs swell).
When you lie down and the lower body (legs, etc.) is level
with the kidneys, it is then that the kidneys remove the
water because it is easier.
Drinking your water at the right time is important

I knew you need your minimum water to help flush the toxins
out of your body, but this was news to me.

Correct time to drink water… Very Important. From A Cardiac Specialist!
Drinking water at a certain time maximizes its effectiveness
on the body:
2 glasses of water after waking up – helps activate internal
organs
1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal – helps digestion
1 glass of water before taking a bath – helps lower blood
pressure (who knew???)
1 glass of water before going to bed – avoids stroke or
heart attack (good to know!)

I can also add to this… My Physician told me that water at
bed time will also help prevent night time leg cramps. Your
leg muscles are seeking hydration when they cramp and wake
you up with a Charlie Horse. (this I know for sure!)

A Cardiologist has stated that if each person after
receiving this e-mail, sends it to 10 people, probably one
life could be saved!

I have already shared this information. What about you?

Do forward this message. It may save lives!

END COMMON CORE MASSACHUSETTS LAUNCHES TODAY

Contact Person – Donna Colorio 508-450-0104 dcolorio@gmail.com

END COMMON CORE MASSACHUSETTS LAUNCHES BALLOT QUESTION

A group of citizen activists and legislators opposed to Common Core’s standards and PARCC tests launched an initiative ballot question campaign today to restore the state’s pre-Common Core educational standards from 2010.

“Massachusetts is at an educational crossroads. In 2007, Massachusetts became the highest-achieving state in the country because of the academic quality of our state standards, the state tests based on them (MCAS), and the state’s teacher licensing regulations and tests,” said Sandra Stotsky, former Senior Associate Commissioner in Massachusetts’ Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). “With the implementation of Common Core’s standards after their adoption by in 2010, we have started to decline in reading achievement. We need to stop the federal push for mediocre standards for all.”

Donna Colorio, Worcester School Committee member from 2011 to 2013, and founder and leader of the advocacy group, Common Core Forum, will chair the End Common Core Massachusetts ballot question. On July 21, 2010, twelve members of Department of Elementary and Secondary Education voted to accept federal dollars and extensively change Massachusetts’ Educational Standards into what is now called Common Core Educational Standards.

“The adoption of the Common Core federal standards was wrong,” says Colorio. “I think voters should have a choice in whether to continue with these untested educational standards. Our ballot question’s goal is to give the people of Massachusetts a voice in that educational decision. We can keep our public schools #1 by returning to the 2010 education standards of Massachusetts, or we can participate in these very unproven Common Core Education Standards, which are, at best, a race to the middle. It should be OUR CHOICE.”

Representative Donnie Berthiaume from the 5th Worcester District has been dealing with mathematical equations in his construction design business for years. Yet, Rep. Berthiaume says, “as I try to help my 5th grader with his homework (especially math), I find it next to impossible. As my son’s frustration with Common Core math continues, his desire to excel in math declines. As a parent with exceptional mathematical aptitude, I believe this CC math needs to go to way of the dinosaur.”

State Senator Ryan Fattman states “While going door to door throughout my last campaign, I heard from both parents and teachers across the political spectrum concerned with the proposed changes to our education system. Massachusetts is a unique state, and an expensive implementation of a potentially lower federal standard really requires a statewide discussion. This End Common Core Massachusetts ballot question provides us with that opportunity, and I look forward to continuing that conversation.”

A Year in The White Houe – Really worth taking your time to read this (THE TRUTH)…

Written by Mychal Massie, who is a respected writer and talk show host in Los Angeles.

The below summary of Barack and Michelle Obama’s 5 year reign in the White House is by far the best I’ve ever read as it squarely hits the nail on the head.

And it took a black reporter writing it to make it as effective as it is. A white man’s account would be instantly criticized by the liberal media as pure racism. But, how can anyone scream Racist when an exacting description of the Obama’s is penned by a well-known journalist of color?
BEST SUMMATION OF BARACK AND MICHELLE OBAMA EVER!

(Mychal Massie is a respected writer and talk show host in Los Angeles .)
The other evening on my twitter, a person asked me why I didn’t like the Obama’s. Specifically I was asked: “I have to ask, why do you hate the Obama’s? It seems personal, not policy related. You even dissed (disrespect) their Christmas family picture.”

The truth is I do not like the Obamas, what they represent, their ideology, and I certainly do not like his policies and legislation. I’ve made no secret of my contempt for the Obamas. As I responded to the person who asked me the aforementioned question, I don’t like them because they are committed to the fundamental change of my/our country into what can only be regarded as a Communist state.

I don’t hate them per definition, but I condemn them because they are the worst kind of racialists, they are elitist Leninists with contempt for traditional America . They display disrespect for the sanctity of the office he holds, and for those who are willing to admit same, Michelle Obama’s raw contempt for white America is transpicuous.

I don’t like them because they comport themselves as emperor and empress. I expect, no I demand respect, for the Office of President, and a love of our country and her citizens, from the leader entrusted with the governance of same. President and Mrs. Reagan displayed an unparalleled love for the country and her people. The Reagan’s made Americans feel good about themselves and about what we could accomplish.

His arrogance by appointing 32 leftist czars and constantly bypassing congress is impeachable. Eric Holder is probably the MOST incompetent and arrogant DOJ head to ever hold the job. Could you envision President Reagan instructing his Justice Department to act like jack-booted thugs?

Presidents are politicians and all politicians are known and pretty much expected to manipulate the truth, if not outright lie, but even using that low standard, the Obama’s have taken lies, dishonesty, deceit, mendacity, subterfuge and obfuscation to new depths. They are verbally abusive to the citizenry, and they display an animus for civility.

I do not like them, because they both display bigotry overtly, as in the case of Harvard Professor Louis Gates, when he accused the Cambridge Police of acting stupidly, and her code speak pursuant to now being able to be proud of America . I view that statement and that Mind set as an insult to those who died to provide a country where a Kenyan, his illegal alien relatives, and his alleged progeny, could come and not only live freely, but rise to the highest, most powerful, position in the world.

Michelle Obama is free to hate and disparage whites because Americans of every description paid with their blood to ensure her right to do that. I have a saying, that “the only reason a person hides things, is because they have something to hide.” No president in history has spent over a million dollars to keep his records and his past sealed.

And what the two of them have shared has been proven to be lies. He lied about when and how they met, he lied about his mother’s death and problems with insurance, Michelle lied to a crowd pursuant to nearly $500,000 bank stocks they inherited from his family. He has lied about his father’s military service, about the civil rights movement, ad nausea. He lied to the world about the Supreme Court in a State of the Union address.

He berated and publicly insulted a sitting Congressman. He has surrounded himself with the most rabidly, radical, socialist academicians today. He opposed rulings that protected women and children that even Planned Parenthood did not seek to support. He is openly hostile to business and aggressively hostile to Israel .

His wife treats being the First Lady as her personal American Express Black Card (arguably the most prestigious credit card in the world). I condemn them because, as people are suffering, losing their homes, their jobs, their retirements, he and his family are arrogantly showing off their life of entitlement – as he goes about creating and fomenting class warfare.

I don’t like them, and I neither apologize nor retreat from my public condemnation of them and of his policies. We should condemn them for the disrespect they show our people, for his willful and unconstitutional actions pursuant to obeying the Constitutional parameters he is bound by, and his willful disregard for Congressional authority.

Dislike for them has nothing to do with the color of their skin; it has everything to do with their behavior, attitudes, and policies. And I have open scorn for their constantly playing the race card.

I could go on, but let me conclude with this. I condemn in the strongest possible terms the media for refusing to investigate them, as they did President Bush and President Clinton, and for refusing to label them for what they truly are. There is no scenario known to man, whereby a white president and his wife could ignore laws, flaunt their position, and lord over the people, as these two are permitted out of fear for their color.

As I wrote in a syndicated column titled, “Nero In The White House” – “Never in my life, inside or outside of politics, have I witnessed such dishonesty in a political leader.

He is the most mendacious political figure I have ever witnessed. Even by the low standards of his presidential predecessors, his narcissistic, contumacious arrogance is unequaled. Using Obama as the bar, Nero would have to be elevated to sainthood.

Many in America wanted to be proud when the first person of color was elected president, but instead, they have been witness to a congenital liar, a woman who has been ashamed of America her entire life, failed policies, intimidation, and a commonality hitherto not witnessed in political leaders. He and his wife view their life at our expense as an entitlement – while America ‘s people go homeless, hungry and unemployed.
