The Department of Education has taken it upon themselves to withhold those funds already allocated and approved for disbursement for July 1. Former WWW executive and now Department Secretary of Education Linda E. McMahon has taken it upon herself to withhold the funding. […]
A partial of a much longer piece by Bruce Lesley. Health and food policies for low-income people and families will suffer under Tr__p’s take from the poor and give to the rich, the richest 10% of the nation in income. There is always day-old cake or bread to be had if they shop the corporate […]
Federal Funding and Politics, and Safety? When does the latter out-weigh the former? A Texas county devastated by deadly flooding earlier this month had rejected federal funds in 2021. Funds that could have helped install a flood warning system. However, local officials and residents were arguing they didn’t want to be “bought” by the Biden administration. As far back as […]

I can not believe the Generals in charge are too happy having ICE aboard. “July 9, 2025: Letters from an American” At about 10:30 this […]
It has been a long two days as the site was attacked by various outside influences. I know how to write with WP and add pics and other things. The foundation of Angry Bear is foreign to me. Asking me to do something on the programing side is risky. I probably could do it if […]
