“The bill, H.B. 0800, was introduced by Representative Bruce Griffey (R – District 75) and will be considered by the Education Instruction Subcommittee on March 30,” KSDK reported Wednesday. The bill says public schools need to focus on teaching subjects such as reading, science, and mathematics. It also adds LGBTQ+ content is inappropriate for the classroom and may offend a significant portion of school communities that hold Christian values. In addition, the bill suggests LGBTQ+ issues be treated with the same rules as religious teaching in public schools.

Maybe the pendulum is swinging back toward sanity. It starts with one bill; one state. Then it cascades.

Although we know there are a lot of seriously God-fearing & good people in Tennessee, this is a really bold move by the Governor. We need to pray this bill gets all the way through.

States can begin by actually defining the education they are buying with the state funding. If they are "paying" for this nonsense, the law must be amended and the amounts recalculated to only encompass essential education, such as literacy, math, science and prescribed civics. LGBT crap can be paid for by the locals, at their option. Better yet, the states could follow the West Virginia model of "scholarships" universally available to students to purchase private education or home school, the amounts of which are deducted from the funds provided public schools left behind. The time to break the Big Education monopoly is NOW.

'They learned from the travesty of the 2020 Presidential Election, which can never be allowed to happen again. Too bad these changes could not have been done sooner!' Trump wrote from Mar-a-Lago, where he was pictured golfing Friday.

When the Democrats decided to launch their unconstitutional military occupation of Washington D.C., they summoned 26,000 National Guard troops from all over the country to serve as a captive audience for Biden’s inauguration in an empty city living in fear. Those troops were made to sleep on cold marble floors in the Capitol and later in a cold parking garage. They were fed tainted meat, food with metal shavings and worms, resulting in illnesses and hospitalization. The bill for this disastrous mess came to $483 million. Nothing but the best for the troops.

Kamala Harris is now in charge of the White House response to the southern border crisis and has immediately faced a slew of criticism from conservatives for her very lax stance on immigration. 'An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal,' Harris tweeted in April 2017 in bashing then-President Donald Trump's hard-line immigration policy. Republicans were quick to pounce on Biden's decision to put Harris at the helm of this issue, pointing to her past criticism of offices dealing with the border. Specifically, the GOP referenced a congressional hearing in 2018 when Harris, then a U.S. senator for California, compared Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to the KKK.

Despite having the cheat cards, Biden was forced to correct himself after mistakenly saying the US ranked 85th in the world in infrastructure, according to the New York Post.

Buttigieg, who spoke with CNBC’s Kayla Tausche on Friday, also contended that President Joe Biden’s forthcoming plans to rebuild the nation’s roads, bridges and waterways would lead to a net gain for the U.S. taxpayer and not a net outlay. “When you think about infrastructure, it’s a classic example of the kind of investment that has a return on that investment,” he said.(Snip) “I’m hearing a lot of appetite to make sure
