Arizona is now offering parents $7,200 for each student they send to a private school. And they aren't alone. Many other states are heading in the same direction. Is this a good idea?

Why Are Parents Paying Grown Children to Return Home?

7/26/2023
Believe it or not, parents are paying their grown kids a salary to return home and be with them. All the kids have to do is hang out with their folks and do a few chores, and they can earn as much as they would in a real job. Why is this happening?

What is Affirmative Action for the Wealthy?

7/25/2023
Even though the Supreme Court just banned Affirmative Action, it's alive and well, but only for the wealthiest Americans.

And how are the richest Americans getting away with this? #affirmativeaction #supremecourt #woke #wokeness #collegestudent #universities #wealthy #rich #top1percent #poor #collegeadmissions #justice #supremecourt #scotus Join us on https://CaptainHoff.com

Is the Chinese Government Really Rewriting the Bible?

7/24/2023
Surprisingly, the answer is yes. They are rewriting the Bible, but don't believe the rumors. They are not replacing Jesus with Mao or Colonel Sanders or anyone else. It's much more subtle than that. What they want to do is rewrite the Bible so that it conforms with the Chinese Communist Party's agenda. In essence, they want a Bible with Chinese characteristics that will help all the Christians in China become better socialists and patriots. The fact is, this isn't the first time in history it's been done. Who else do you think rewrote the Bible? #bible #rewriting #communist #party #Chinese #CPC #Beijing #socialists #Buddhism #island #bookbans #FreedomOfSpeech #political #politics #politicalmemes #news #vote #trump #america #usa #freedom #congress #republican #conservative #meme #democrats #patriots #maga #musk #elon #LGBTQ #BlackLivesMatter #Biden

RFK Jr. Has Gone to the Dark Side with Latest COVID Conspiracy Theory

7/22/2023
RFK Jr., the son of the late U.S. Senator Robert F. Kennedy, has long been a controversial figure. He is a well-known environmental activist, but he has also been accused of spreading misinformation about vaccines and other health issues. In recent months, Kennedy's rhetoric has become increasingly extreme. In a video that surfaced last week, he claimed that COVID-19 is "targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people." He also said that "the people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese."

Why the GOP's Latest Voter Suppression Bill is So Dangerous

7/21/2023
House Republicans introduced a sweeping voter suppression bill that they claim would restore confidence in elections, but will actually disenfranchise millions of voters, especially people of color and low-income Americans. The bill, dubbed the American Confidence in Elections (ACE) Act, was unveiled in Georgia, a state that has become a battleground for voting rights after passing its own restrictive law earlier this year. The ACE Act is a compilation of nearly 50 bills that would impose new federal mandates and incentives for states to adopt measures that would make it harder to vote by mail, register to vote, and stay on the voter rolls.

Why Actors Must Defeat Hollywood Studios or Wind Up Replaced By AI

7/21/2023
SAG strikes Back! The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) is up in arms. They are upset with the big studios because of artificial intelligence (AI). AI is enabling studios to scan actors and replicate their entire persona on the screen. What does this mean for actors? It means that studios want to be able to scan any actor who is an extra, pay them for one day's work, and then use that person's likeness, image, voice, and anything else they can capture using AI to create an animated version of that actor that they can use for eternity.
