  1. LOL “Educator McCormick” touts Optimism and Opportunity!! What a positive headline the IBJ employees came up with for their fellow Democrat. I was expecting this to be a Chalkbeat article
    The last time McCormick was in the class”educating” was 2004. Her 10 year tenure as a school administrator is debatable on if it qualifies as an “educator”, what is not debatable is that since 2016 she has been a political bureaucrat.

    Role reversal always fun. IBJ “Journalists” post a link to one of your headlines that is so incredibly positive about “Businessman Braun”

    I’ll check back

    1. Chuck needs the media to reinforce his feelings … he can’t dare handle a publication in which both candidates for governor get equally positive headlines. Kind of like how Beckwith can’t handle a world in which some people want to use their pronouns, or a world in which women have to be treated like … human beings with value… someone ask him how he feels about the 19th Amendment …

      What happened to the toughness and ruggedness of conservatives? They’re now those people you see at sporting events complaining about every single call that goes against them. Its ponderous.

      Chuck, I am going to guess that you didn’t have to educate your kids yourself in the spring of 2020. For me, that experience told me that the Republican approach to education – any schmuck can teach, teachers are disposable cogs – is about as wrong as can be.

      We’ve had 20 years of declining educational outcomes as Republicans have moved aside trained teachers, underfunding higher education and kneecapping our future educational outcomes. Republicans have been in charge the entire time.

      Maybe that’s doesn’t matter for you who are statistically going to be dead and gone in a decade, but at some point, you need to recognize the problem isn’t the Democrats or teachers.

    2. Last time Braun successfully voted on two items in a row as a senator was…. Hasn’t happened yet.

      Careful with quick comparisons – could end poorly for Braun

    3. The headlines are mirror images, Chuck – one “touts” the other “leans into”. Try smiling more.

    1. Indiana, the state where Democrats proposed a 15 week abortion ban.
      Republicans passed a zero second ban.

      Them the facts.

      Of course, unborn babies are a lot easier for Republicans to “care” about than kids with complex medical needs … Republicans saw that line item as the first place to cut when they made mistakes in budget forecasting. Because when it comes to even thinking about spending from their beloved surplus, or valuing human life, you can see what they chose.

      But please, tell me how pro-life Republicans are again. Their interest in being pro-life ends when it costs them one red cent, and it’s shameful.

    1. Why do you feel that being against abortion is a shield against the hypocrisy of your position being pointed out?

      I’d love for the world to have zero abortion. The reality is that it will cost more money to do that. The reality is a lot of people choose abortion because they can’t afford a kid. What have you done to decrease the quarter million dollar cost of raising a kid? Childcare costs these days are insane. People claim to want citizens to have more babies, but when it comes to actually spending a little bit of money, their interest… wanes.

      Why do people who blather on about “the dignity of life” … so callous when it comes to caring about, and maybe being willing to spend a little bit, life that’s actually here on the planet?

      Why do they cut spending on kids stuck in wheelchairs 24/7 with expensive medical needs? Why are they OK with Indiana’s terrible maternal mortality rate, women who want to be moms with children dying? Why are they OK with local hospitals buying nursing homes and taking the money intended for the care of the elderly … to instead build shiny new hospitals and give their CEO a big fat raise?

  2. Joe B, first, you have no idea who I am or what kids I’ve helped so despite your above statement, there’s no “hypocrisy” in my comment! I asked a question which you failed to answer….most likely, because you can’t.
    The idea that its a great idea to kill babies in the womb because “it will cost more money…” to allow them to live is crass and just plain evil….as your dumbass POTUS sends hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine to fight a war they can’t win!
    Obviously, you, like most leftists do not adhere to the idea of “the dignity of life” bc your side wants to kill them in the womb and, if you don’t get them then, you’ll make sure they die on the streets in violence, which your side celebrates!
    You want to argue healthcare???? What’s distorted healthcare the last 60 years is GOVERNMENT CONTROL!!

    1. John – the US doesn’t send dollars to Ukraine we send old and expiring military munitions and weaponry.

      Your entire stance loses immediate validity when you quote false talking points from the MSM

    2. John, perhaps you could post some links to peer-reviewed economic or healthcare research that give clarity on the ways in which GOVERNMENT CONTROL!! has “distorted” healthcare.

    3. Er, it’s not actually a baby John. In most cases it’s an embryo – and it’s not in your body to choose. I suppose you think guns are cool, too?

  3. I answered your “question” – the answer is government spending – which you acknowledged throughout your reply. You are correct about two things – I don’t know who you are. I don’t know who you’ve helped. But I am pretty sure you aren’t thinking your positions through.

    Tell me, what’s going to work out better … a world in which there are very few abortions because everyone has proper knowledge and availability of birth control, they have proper maternal care so they don’t have complications, and a world in which quality childcare is available and affordable (demand side, no one desires an abortion…) … or a world in which we just ban the procedure and pretend there will only be a handful of abortions granted through the gritted teeth of Todd Rokita? Like that’s going to magically fix everything, because no one would ever be smart enough to just drive to Illinois or go the back alley route.

    It would appear to me that you’re not actually all that pro-life, you’re just pro-forced birth among other positions that show little regard for human life. Because if you think through the implications of forcing the poor and less fortunate to have kids they can’t afford, the load is going to fall on the government that you despise.

    That takes money, money that a “leftist” like me is more than willing to spend because, well, who else is going to help? Churches? Yeah right. The churches of America rotting away both in attendance and spirit. Many are more interested in being the first two people who encountered the Good Samaritan instead of the third. They aren’t going to handle it, regardless of what they used to claim.

    I’d advise you take a look in the mirror and examine exactly why my words made you so angry. Feels to me like you found it inconvenient to have those not-at-all pro life positions pointed out. We could choose for Indiana to be the most pro-life state in the United States. It, though, would take more than a zero-second abortion ban to claim that crown – it would take money and compassion for others.

    PS: funding Ukraine has been the greatest exposure of the impotence of the Russian government of all time. Exposed as frauds for what we spent, without our troops on the ground? Best investment since Reagan spent them out of existence 40 years ago. Now we just have to do something about his useful idiots that have taken over the Republican Party…
