Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 7/17/2021 6:47:25 PM

The other day I highlighted the disturbing remarks of a local NAACP leader in Fairfax County, Virginia. On Thursday night, Michelle Leete stood outside the Jackson Middle School and rallied protesters in favor of Critical Race Theory (CRT) into a round of applause as she declared "Let them die" about her opponents. On Saturday morning, the Virginia PTA announced over Twitter that she's since resigned from her position with them.Leete resigned from her position of Vice President of Training at the Virginia PTA. She's also the Vice President of the Fairfax NAACP and the Vice President of Communications for the Fairfax County PTA.

So, it looks like only Virginia PTA requested and got her resignation. Nothing but crickets from the local NAACP or the Fairfax County PTA. She will probably being embraced nationally. Stacy Abrams has probably already spoken with her and given her breathtaking advice.

This woman is typical of her crowd, and they are the people that demanded elimination of the qualifiying examinations for the Thomas Jefferson highschool ~ America's number 1 highschool academically. They want to kick out all the East and South Asian students ~ and replace them with minorities. Now these aren't just any Asian origin kids, they live here, they were mostly born here, they are growing up in Fairfax County and they are smart, their parents are smart, and on a world scale they are generally among the smartest people to ever walk the face of the planet. Their only mistake was to be "brown" and not "black".... or some other kind of "brown" ~ or evenj "white" ~ Many of them are mixed race.... We have a serious problem here. It's like the Ku Klux Klan came to town, and ripped off their masks and showed us that they are the governing officers of the NAACP! Or LA RAZA!

Whisper it: CRT and the race biz have an Achilles' heel. Specifically, it is the consistently low IQ of its most vocal and visible leaders. Admittedly, they are usually puppets and other puppets can always be obtained by leftist mandarins but the demands of media and the ignorant voter base mean the likes of Michelle Leete, Stephanie Rawlings Blake, Marilyn Mosby, Marcia Fudge et al are pushed front and center to mangle the language.

I would urge all L.Dotters to get a copy of Mark Levin's new book, American Marxism, and read the whole thing.

This woman is a bully! Have you ever encounter some like this in your daily life or at work? They all have the same modus operandi. They are loud and arrogantly and sanctimoniously ignorant. They have no concept of how they are perceived by others because they simply do not understand or care that they come across as abrasively unintelligent. You scratch the surface of one of these harridans and a racist will explode forth. All such people have is a big mouth and the arrogance that only the ignorant can exhibit. Reasonable people cringe when they go off on their tangents, but democrats put them front and center to do their bullying for them which is the only reason democrats tolerate them at all. They need these agitators to stir the pot, but I guarantee that behind their backs, democrats will continue to abuse their race with the policies that have destroyed their communities. Some may become wealthy because of their use to the democrat party but the vast majority will remain in the lawless miserable communities that democrats have created for them. Minorities: democrats are not your friends. They lie to your faces and laugh at you behind their backs. As with any good democrat that old plantation mentality is never far from their minds.

The reason for pushing CRT down to K-12 is that most of children in this age group have not developed a working B.S. detector. Those in K through 3 have none! The minds in this age group are like sponges. They will accept anything an adult tells them without questioning if it is true or B.S. Tell them the Sun revolves around the Earth and they will believe you. Feed them a lot of CRT propaganda and it is easy to indoctrinate them in these lies. By the time they reach high school they will have heard it so many times they have been trained to accept this as established fact. Few will have have an awakening and realize, "This is B.S.!" The fact that there are mature adults that believe CRT to be true only shows that they have never developed a functioning B.S. detector. As it is said, "You can fool some of the people all of the time," Starting when they are young makes it so much easier.

WASHINGTON — Two weeks after celebrating America’s near “independence” from the coronavirus, President Joe Biden is confronting the worrying reality of rising cases and deaths — and the limitations of his ability to combat the persistent vaccine hesitance responsible for the summer backslide. Cases of COVID-19 have tripled over the past three weeks, and hospitalizations and deaths are rising among unvaccinated people. While the rates are still sharply down from their January highs, officials are concerned by the reversing trendlines and what they consider needless illness and death. And cases are expected to continue to rise in coming weeks.
