WOW.These activist educators are really something else. There are too many who are completely unhinged that should be nowhere near children, let alone teaching them anything.Even in the great state of Florida.Another progressive teacher was exposed for having a really bad case of Trump Derangement Syndrome in a video that surfaced this week showing her berating her students for supporting a classmate who dared to bring a Trump flag to school.Presumably, the student in question was given some sort of punishment along the lines of a suspension. He was not present during the teacher’s meltdown,
On Friday’s “PBS NewsHour,” New York Times columnist David Brooks said that President Joe Biden has made the immigration system worse and that his immediate reversal of former President Donald Trump’s immigration rules was “a big open door signal.”Brooks said Biden “inherited a gigantic mess that nobody has had the solution for. I think Biden did make it worse. And part of the problem was, they promised, on day one, they would reverse all the Trump rules. Reversing the Trump rules was a good idea. But doing it all at once, on day one,
Christian children in California aren’t allowed to pray in schools, but Muslim refugees are given halal food and provided prayer rooms.California schools in Sacramento are preparing for a huge influx of Afghan refugee students.Joe Biden purposely turned Afghanistan over to the Taliban and packed evacuation planes with tens of thousands of unvetted Afghans and flew them to the US.
The Afghans are being dispersed all over the country and California agreed to take in at least 5,000 refugees.
Border Patrol agents' outrage at Joe Biden is growing, with officers furious that the president has thrown them under the bus over the Haitian migrant debacle.They are especially angry at the White House’s rush to judgment over pictures of a mounted agent swinging the reins of his horse while confronting an immigrant, which were first believed to show him whipping the man.That account has already been debunked with even the photographer saying his image showed no such thing.But that didn’t stop Biden calling the image and video ‘outrageous.’‘It is absolutely outrageous that President Biden wouldn’t give us the benefit of the doubt before spouting off,’
The report of the Maricopa County Forensic Election Audit of the 2020 election released at a public hearing of the Arizona State Senate chaired by Senate President Karen Fann (R-1) and Judiciary Committee Chairman Senator Warren Petersen (R-12) on Friday identified a number of significant election irregularities discovered during the audit.Out of 3.4 million votes cast in Arizona in the November 3, 2020 presidential election, about 2.1 million were cast in Maricopa County. Of these, a little more than 1.9 million were early votes, either cast by mail or deposited in drop boxes.
Joe Biden’s staff doesn’t like him taking questions. They never know when he will gaffe. But in addition to the gaffing is the other problem that Biden has — often when he’s challenged, he tends to lie. As we reported, Biden spoke on a few subjects Friday, including Afghanistan and COVID booster shots. Unbelievably, he claimed he had “no apologies” for the debacle that he caused with the way he rolled out the Afghanistan withdrawal. He showed he has absolutely no shame. But after he finished his remarks, this time he actually took some questions. That’s where he got into trouble again.One reporter asked Biden a great question that
As the 2021 Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin kicked off, the packed crowd broke out into a spontaneous rendition of the national anthem and then chanted “USA, USA!!” as Americans were “loud and proud” at the event.On Friday, just ahead of the first tee shot as the first rays of the sun crossed the field, the crowd epically belted out their love for America.“USA fans made sure the national anthem was loud and proud before the first tee shots. Ryder Cup in Wisconsin is underway,” local Wisconsin reporter Hannah Hillyard tweeted along with a video of the singing. Nearly 3,000 voices were patriotically lifted up.

This gives new meaning to the phrase, good things come in small packages.A $4 million satellite likened to a 'family-sized box of Cheerios' is headed into space later this month to look at the physics of distant exoplanets known as 'hot Jupiters,' including the hottest planet ever found.Known as Colorado Ultraviolet Transit Experiment (CUTE), the spacecraft is a cube satellite (CubeSat) that will conduct a seven-month long mission to look at these planets.It is also the first CubeSat mission funded by NASA to look at exoplanets and see what this technology is capable of.
Donald Trump's supporters didn't take waste time breaking out into 'F*** you Biden' chants immediately as they arrived for the former president's rally in Perry, Georgia.A crop plane with a banner reading 'Tax the Rich' along with President Joe Biden's slogan 'Build Back Better' circled the rally venue at the Georgia National Fairgrounds and Agricenter on Saturday afternoon.Hours before the former president's speech, Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene and Senate candidate Hershal Walker mingled with attendees.Trump is coming to the center of the Peach State on Saturday to hold a rally for Walker,
Donald Trump has said that only grave health concerns could prevent him seeking the White House once again in 2024, in another sign that the Republican's next US presidential bid may be inevitable.Trump made the remark in a phone interview on Friday night, ahead of his planned rally in Perry, Georgia on Saturday to support his picks in key Republican primary races. Asked by Real America's Voice host David Brody what might prevent him from running again, Trump responded: 'Well, I don't — I guess a bad call from a doctor or something, right?'
Reflection Of My Failed Campaign
8 replies
I want to thank the distributor of my articles, Creators Syndicate, for allowing me to take eight weeks off from writing my weekly column so I could campaign to recall and replace the governor of California. I also want to thank my readers for their patience and willingness to let me pursue that adventure. The recall required 50% plus one of the votes be cast in favor of the recall. To replace required only that the replacement candidate receive more votes than any other candidate. Right now, ballots are still being counted, but the effort to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom has failed.

It seems like this warning from the CDC shouldn’t be necessary yet the agency issued an alert to medical professionals to be on the lookout for Afghan refugees with infectious disease symptoms. A few cases of infectious diseases for which most Americans are vaccinated have started popping up among the Afghan evacuees recently brought into the United States.
The CDC posted an announcement on its website warning medical professionals and staff of the possibility of Afghan refugees bringing infectious diseases like measles, mumps, and rubella into the country during their evacuation. Most Americans have been vaccinated against all those diseases.

Down Indian PM From Taking Questions During Meeting 32 replies
We’ve reported about how Joe Biden’s staff has gone to great lengths to prevent him from answering questions.
His meeting with U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson at the White House was a great example of this. Johnson took some questions from the British press. But as he was finishing up, the Biden staffers interrupted him, screaming at the top of their lungs at the press to get out, creating all kinds of chaos.
The press then filed a complaint with White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki. She basically treated them like dirt and like their objections meant nothing.
Then,
The FBI has opened an investigation into the assault of a female solider by several male Afghan refugees at the US Army's Fort Bliss base, in New Mexico. The alleged assault took place on Sunday, at around midnight, when at least three men allegedly attacked the soldier near her car after she arrived for work at the Dona Ana Complex, which had been accepting refugees airlifted out of Afghanistan are housed, ABC 7 reports.(Snip)The solider has received medical care and counseling following the assault. She was reported to have recovered from her physical injuries. Payne added that more security measures, including improved lighting and enforcing 'buddy system,'
If an election were held today, a substantial number of those who voted President Joe Biden in November wouldn’t do so now, a new I&I/TIPP Poll shows. This comes after a spate of recent polls from TIPP and others suggesting Biden’s political support is in a freefall as Americans question his leadership on issues ranging from COVID-19 to the chaos on the U.S.’ southern border to the recent botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.
The I&I/TIPP Poll asked Americans: “If the presidential election were held today, and the following were the candidates, for whom would you vote?”
When was your “sexual debut”?
The term “virginity” has come under fire from some woke folks, who suggested calling the act of having intercourse for the first time a “debut.”
As the BBC reports, feminist scholars have long called for a term to replace “virginity,” which traditionally places female sexuality on a pedestal as a souvenir that can be “taken” or “lost.”
Costco is implementing new consumer limitations on purchases of household essentials including toilet paper, paper towels, and Kirkland bottled water as the company has seen an increase in demand due to a surge in the delta variant and supply-chain complications.
Costco has been dealing with significant issues centered around supply-chain complications and inflation according to the company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Richard A. Galanti. Galanti informed analysts of the issues during a conference call, transcribed by Alpha Street, regarding Costco’s fourth-quarter earnings on September 23:
From a supply chain perspective, the factors pressuring supply chains and inflation include port delays, container shortages, COVID disruptions,
If you're vaccinated and looking for a smooch, now might be the time to visit Oregon.
The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) on Wednesday revised its position on safe-dating practices during the COVID-19 pandemic and now says it is OK to get intimate with your date--as long as you've both been vaccinated.
"If you're both vaccinated and taking COVID-19 precautions, intimacy is likely to be safe," OHA wrote on Facebook.
It was a striking change to the beginning of the pandemic last year when OHA released previous advice for daters in the time of COVID-19.
"You are your safest sex partner," OHA wrote at the time. "Kissing can easily pass COVID-19.
Beto O'Rourke has slammed Joe Biden for his handling of the migrant crisis, comparing the current President to Donald Trump in his decision to deport thousands of Haitian asylum seekers from the southern border. O'Rourke—who once described Biden as 'kind, caring, and the antithesis of Trump'—made the comparison in a scathing op-ed published in El Paso Matters on Friday, claiming the Commander-in-chief's new border policies were 'antithetical to our values and our common humanity'.(Snip)'We need to hold accountable those who would treat immigrants as less than human—whether they were separated from their families and placed in cages under Trump
MIAMI - A ferret has tested positive for COVID-19 in Florida, federal officials announced Friday. This is the first ferret to test positive for COVID-19 in the United States, according to a U.S. Department of Agriculture news release. A ferret in the European nation of Slovenia previously tested positive for the virus. USDA officials said samples from the Florida ferret were tested after the animal showed symptoms that included sneezing and coughing. Officials believe the ferret acquired the infection from a person with COVID-19. The small mustelids are commonly kept as pets. Officials didn’t say where in Florida the infected
Scientific American, founded in 1845, has published such brilliant minds as Albert Einstein, Linus Pauling, and J. Robert Oppenheimer, and explored subjects as diverse as perpetual motion and solar neutrinos.These days, however, the magazine is concerning itself with somewhat different topics — like how “problematic” the fictional space warriors known as Jedi are. In a story published Thursday, titled “Why the Term ‘JEDI’ Is Problematic for Describing Programs That Promote Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion,” a group of five authors argue, “The Jedi are inappropriate mascots for social justice.”
Why not a flat tax?

The U.S. tax code is gargantuan and convoluted beyond all human comprehension. According to the Tax Foundation, if you count the actual tax laws, you end up with over 2,600 pages. But if you add the IRS regulations and clarifications, you get another roughly 9,000 pages. Finally, if you then add tax case law, you get 70,000 more pages.
Considering such vast complexity, it doesn't really matter what basic tax rates are. There is a widespread and legitimate feeling that people who can afford shrewd attorneys will always find loopholes, and therefore nothing much will change.
