Posted By: Drastic, 4/24/2021 6:17:19 PM
Last week, Katya wrote an outstanding essay about the perils of woke math. This week, Virginia’s Department of Education announced that it will be eliminating accelerated maths classes in all public schools as they strive for “equity.” The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) is moving to eliminate all accelerated math options prior to 11th grade, effectively keeping higher-achieving students from advancing as they usually would in the school system.

A NYPD detective was attacked while he was just standing there doing his job, minding his own business, when out of nowhere a man came over and hit him on the head with a stick.
The person stood there looking confused for a second, the detective fell over, and then cops pursued the suspect on foot.
A later news report said the suspect was arrested.
CBS Local reported, "It happened just before noon while the detective was investigating a burglary on Prince Street in Flushing, Queens. Police arrested 25-year-old Akeele Morgan. He faces multiple charges, including assault on a police officer."
We must stand up to the Democrat Party lies and their allies in the media. If you listen to them, you’ve probably heard that the 2020 election cycle was a stinging backlash against President Trump and his America First agenda. But this tired, half-baked theory couldn’t be further from reality. In fact, New Jersey voters cast nearly 350,000 more ballots for President Trump in 2020 than they did in 2016 – even with the dubious mail-in voting practices put in place at the 11th hour by Democrat Governor Phil Murphy.
That LeBron James anti-cop tweet didn't sit well with a bar owner in Cincinnati who now refuses to show another NBA game until the baller is expelled.
The bar is called Linnie's Pub and the owner posted the anti-LeBron James message on Facebook that said, "If anyone wants to watch an NBA game, don’t come to Linnie’s Pub. We will not air them until Lebron James has been expelled from the NBA."
This all started when LeBron James posted an anti-cop message showing the Columbus police officer who shot Ma'Khia Bryant as she appeared to lunge at another girl with a knife.
Former President Donald Trump recently made a $10,000 donation to the loved ones of the missing crew members from the Seacor Power.
The money is being used to buy fuel for the United Cajun Navy’s ongoing search and rescue efforts, KATC reported Friday.
“Todd Terrell, the president of the United Cajun Navy, confirmed to KATC that the donation is being used for search efforts of the remaining crew members of the Seacor Power, which capsized last week in the Gulf of Mexico,” the outlet said.

Protesters shouting "Black Lives Matter" stormed the Oklahoma Capitol this week and there doesn't seem to be much outrage or mass coverage from the mainstream media. Nothing like what we saw on January 6 when people called Trump supporters insurrectionists.
Aren't these protesters doing something similar? Isn't it an insurrection when BLM storms a Capitol, or does that not fit in the liberal mainstream media's narrative.
Fox News covered it in detail, providing information as to why the protesters stormed the Capitol and a confrontation that broke out having two men face-to-face.

House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn was fined $5,000 Friday for bypassing the metal detectors before walking on the floor.
The House Ethics committee released a statement, saying Clyburn had been fined and that he has appealed the fine. The House installed magnetometers in early January and require all members of Congress to walk through them before entering the chamber after rioters supporting Trump stormed the U.S. capitol, committing acts of vandalism and violence.
Clyburn denied breaking House rules to CNN, saying: “I have no idea,” adding: “It’s just somebody on the other side trying to cause mischief.”
For a first-time offense, the fine is $5,000, a second-time offense is $10,000.
Small businesses in Illinois, where taxes are among the highest in the nation, stand to benefit from a state senator’s legislation to alter tax deductions.
The legislation passed the Senate on Thursday.
The bill utilizes an IRS-approved method to allow pass-through entities to bypass the $10,000 cap on the State and Local Tax, or SALT, deduction.
The sponsor of the bill, state Sen. Win Stoller, R-Germantown Hills, said the legislation has the potential to help up to 400,000 Illinois business owners save thousands of dollars annually on their federal tax filings.
A neighbor who witnessed the Columbus police officer shoot teenage Ma'Khia Bryant as she lunged towards another girl with a knife came out in defense of the cop, suggesting there might be two victims if the cop hadn't responded so fast.
The neighbor's name is Donavon Brinson and he lives across the street from the foster home. He saw some girls run out and heard all the commotion, so of course he just had to see what it was all about, as reported.
"They were calling each other the B-word so I figured it was just a girl fight," Brinson said. He went inside. Then the police arrived...
CNN is set to host a live town hall with senior Biden administration officials this weekend on the topic of climate change, weeks after a network employee told an undercover journalist the network planned to push "fear" about the issue.
The town hall, moderated by CNN anchor Dana Bash, will focus on "The Climate Crisis" and will air on Friday night to mark this year's celebration of Earth Day, the network announced.

Cartels at the southern border are targeting American teenagers on social media to get them to do their dirty work of smuggling illegal immigrants into the U.S. — the latest sign of the escalating chaos at the border. Images obtained by Fox News shows the ads cartels are using on social media apps like TikTok, where they offer more than $3,000 a ride for teens and young adults to come drive smuggled migrants into the U.S. when they reach the border. "Need 2 or 3 drivers to go through a checkpoint," one says. "Got another 6 left, already crossed. Lemme know ASAP for that easy cash," another says. CORRECTION*

Orlando - House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney is not ruling out a potential presidential bid, The Post has learned.
“I’m not ruling anything in or out — I’ve been here a long time,” she told The Post when asked if she would ever consider running in the future.
The Wyoming Republican — who has been a frequent target of former President Donald Trump — said there are a number of contenders she sees as having potential for the 2024 nomination, adding that she believes the lawmakers who led the efforts on challenging the election on Jan. 6 should be out of the running.

COLUMBUS, OH – The Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus has joined hordes of untrained armchair quarterbacks, in order to render her opinion on police procedure after the officer-involved shooting of Ma’Khia Bryant.
In Columbus, Ohio on April 20, 2021, Officer Nicholas Reardon had to make a split second decision to intervene as Ma’Khia Bryant rushed toward her potential victim with a knife, after ignoring lawful orders to “get down.” Reardon fired his pistol, striking Bryant and ending the attack.
Aid was rendered at the scene, but Bryant was later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
Neighbors reported that Bryant “was in full attack mode” and also said:
The howl was loud, prolonged, anguished and animated.Actress Frances McDormand's bizarre imitation of a wolf was comfortably the most surprising and interesting part of this year's Oscars.And although there was a heartfelt story behind it – she was paying tribute to a sound engineer on her movie Nomadland named Michael Wolf Snyder who took his life earlier this year – the howl perfectly encapsulated my own feelings watching the most unwatchable Academy Awards in history.Honestly, if there was an Oscar for Worst Horror Story, it would go to whoever decided it would be a good idea to hold this year's event in a train station.
The number of people who tuned in to watch the three-hour long 'wokefest' that was the Oscars has hit an all time low with just 9.85 million viewers. The television ratings for the 93rd Academy Awards on Sunday night is a 58 percent drop compared to last year's already record-low 23.64 million viewers, according to early Nielsen numbers. The huge drop in ratings for Hollywood's biggest night continues an overall multi-year downward trend for the Academy Awards, which were above 43 million as recently as 2014. It comes after the Grammys, Golden Globes and SAG Awards all experienced more than 50 percent declines
A few videos are making the rounds showing a wild brawl taking place at one of the gates in Miami International Airport. We don’t know what started the brawl, although the media are reporting that the police did eventually arrest one person for disorderly conduct. The primary victim, however, does not want to press charges, so the matter will almost certainly disappear.
What makes one of the videos so compelling is the fact that it seemly represents the breakdown of law and order across American cities.
The Biden administration is refusing to weigh in on the Iranian foreign minister claiming in a leaked recording that former Secretary of State and current Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry told him about secret Israeli operations being carried out in In response, Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK) called on Kerry to resign during a speech on the Senate floor. It's become clear...that our adversaries, whether Beijing or Iran, like it when John Kerry is in charge of foreign policy and national security. Why? Because they know how to use him to their advantage," Sullivan said.
Fox News Poll: Biden approaches 100-day milestone As Joe Biden closes in on the 100-day mark of his presidency, a Fox News poll finds a 54 percent majority of voters approves of his job performance.

Iranian foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif claimed in recently leaked audio that John Kerry, when he was serving as Secretary of State during the Obama administration, informed him of more than 200 Israeli operations in Syria. Kerry has previously been accused of colluding with Iranian leaders to undermine the Trump administration. Kerry is now a part of the Biden administration and has a seat on the National Security Council as the special presidential envoy for climate. Kerry shocked Zarif by revealing that Israel had attacked Iranian targets in Syria more than 200 times, according to leaked audio obtained by The New York Times and other outlets.

Having a direct line to at least two former US presidents would seem almost a requirement for achieving the status of world’s bestselling author. But it’s not the “former guy” who lives two decent golf swings along Palm Beach’s swanky Ocean Boulevard that James Patterson has a lot of time for these days. It’s Donald Trump’s predecessor, Bill Clinton, who has become a trusted friend, confidante and business partner.(Snip) Patterson, who claims to be a left-leaning political independent, was no fan of the Trump administration, and admits the pair haven’t spoken since. “There’s a lot of bad stuff that went on there.
President Biden is signing an executive order Monday to start an unprecedented, coordinated push by the federal government to encourage more workers to unionize. Mr. Biden will create a White House “task force on worker organizing and empowerment”—led by Vice President Kamala Harris—to mobilize Cabinet agencies and other federal offices to help workers “organize and successfully bargain with their employers,” the White House said. The administration’s statement cited a “steady decline” in union membership in the U.S., from more than 30% of the workforce in the 1950s to 10.8% in 2020. “As the president has said: America was built by the middle class, and unions built

At least 52 people from a single flight from Delhi to Hong Kong have tested positive for Covid-19, despite all passengers presenting a negative coronavirus test before boarding. All of the passengers who tested positive flew into Hong Kong on a flight from India's capital, run by Indian airline Vistara on April 4. Hong Kong as a whole has been recording fewer daily new infections than the total number detected on the flight, since it brought a fourth wave of infections under control in January.
