Another Tatar rarity from our #DMG collection: a translation from #Ottoman into #Tatar by Gabdulla äs-Sadyjkyj äl-Ǧaekyj.

#Ǧaekyj also composed #schoolbooks on Islamic topics in simplified #Ottoman Turkish.

And here we have the gist.

The right has always been playing the long game. They have read and studied "The Art of War"..

Where we are now is the result of decades of #HateMoney directed at exactly the harms that will now be inflicted on the US and the world.

It’s amusing to note that after a few years of apparently normal behavior, the Texas #BoardofEducation may be back in the news again. We found this at a site called #TexasValues. Their post — it’s actually a press release — is titled Alert! Did You Come From a Monkey?, and it has no author’s by-line.
