Oklahoma will require teachers from NY,
CA to prove they back 'America First'

Original Article

Teachers from California and New York who want to work in Oklahoma public schools will be required to pass a certification test to prove they share the state's conservative political values. Regardless of the subject or grade they teach, they'll have to show they know "the biological differences between females and males" and that they agree with the state's American history standards, which includes elements of a conspiracy theory that the Democratic Party stole the 2020 presidential election from President Donald Trump, which fact checkers have said are false. The state Department of Education will implement the new certification test for teachers from the two largest Democrat-led states

I like this. It's about time those of us in red states had ways to filter out and stop the relocation of "undesirable" blue state refugees who plan to import their dysfunctional blue state politics into well-functioning red states. We may not be able to stop all purely "private sector" relocations, but if someone is coming for a government job, the last thing any red state should do is to knowingly hire "blue state" minded employees.

Also refrain from hiring teachers with multi-colored hair and multiple piercings. That's a dead give away.

The list of states is far too small. NY and CA are just a spit in the bucket. There's at least twenty more.

Not a fan. If they're good teachers, and they know their subject, and they keep their ideologies you out of the classroom, what they believe in their personal life is irrelevant to me and to their work. I had many left-wing teachers over the years who were superb at teaching and went to great lengths to moderate balance both sides of any question. They would likely find this insulting, as do i.

#8: The teachers you describe are out-numbered 50 or 100 to 1 today by low-IQ politically indoctrinated knuckle draggers beholden to Randi Weingarten. If one teacher of the vintage you describe is kept out along with 50 to 100 bad ones, that's acceptable collateral damage, far as I'm concerned. And yeah, I had teachers like you described when I was a kid, too. I suspect neither of us are spring chickens, though...

When my wife applied for a teaching credential in California in the late 1990s/early 2000s, I sat with her at the computer as she completed the last step by filling out a questionnaire. The questions were very obviously designed to weed out conservative thought.

The Oklahoma teacher's salaries are so low, I doubt that you will see any teachers from those states running to Oklahoma to work there.

I’m not a Sydney Sweeney fan, but I don’t hate her either. The funny thing is that I think most liberals didn’t know her either, or didn’t have a strong opinion about her, until she did that American Eagle jeans ad, which sent the online Left into a frenzy. The good news is that she will survive this pathetic tantrum. Only 12 percent of Americans felt this ad promoted Nazism. Yes, we have a lot of mentally ill people. Yet, one New Yorker writer, who torched the actress, was forced to clean her social media profiles after her anti-white posts resurfaced. The Internet is forever, and these posts were insane

Hurricane Erin strengthened back into a Category 4 behemoth over the weekend, the latest shift in what has been a remarkably fast-changing storm. The hurricane’s behavior in recent days makes it one of the fastest-strengthening Atlantic hurricanes on record and yet another indication that climate change is increasing the risk of rapidly intensifying storms. Erin became the first hurricane of this year’s Atlantic season Friday and exploded in strength from a Category 1 into a Category 5 storm in a little over 24 hours. Even after it weakened and re-strengthened into a Category 4 storm, Erin’s jaw-dropping transformation ranks it among the five storms

It turns out many Americans aren’t great at identifying which personal decisions contribute most to climate change. A study recently published by the National Academy of Sciences found that when asked to rank actions, such as swapping a car that uses gasoline for an electric one, carpooling or reducing food waste, participants weren’t very accurate when assessing how much those actions contributed to climate change, which is caused mostly by the release of greenhouse gases that happen when fuels like gasoline, oil and coal are burned. “People over-assign impact to actually pretty low-impact actions such as recycling, and underestimate the actual carbon impact of behaviors much more carbon intensive,

Ed Martin, the director of the Department of Justice Weaponization Working Group, joined Maria Bartiromo on Fox News’ "Sunday Morning Futures" for an explosive interview about ongoing investigations into government abuse of power. Martin confirmed that his office is reviewing criminal referrals involving Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), New York Attorney General Letitia James, and matters tied to the Russia hoax and January 6 investigations. Bartiromo opened by asking Martin to assess “a decade of dirty tricks” against Donald Trump. Martin agreed, saying the DOJ’s Weaponization Working Group, launched under Attorney General Pam Bondi, is tasked with uncovering the truth.

Has anyone noticed the incredible scrutiny that left-wing propaganda bureaus (formerly known as “news media”) give to every little disease outbreak? Let’s take measles, for example. It’s a virtually harmless childhood disease. You get measles once, and you’re immune for life. When I was a child, whenever any of our friends got the measles, it was time for a slumber party. All the kids who weren’t immune from previous outbreaks got the measles, and stayed home from school for a few days. Our parents planned it that way. Development of the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine in the 1970s put an end to this “abusive” practice. Nowadays, measles outbreaks are front-page news.

“In the Soviet Union, there is no truth in Pravda and no news in Izvestia.” Readers of a certain age recognize that old joke, which played on the fact that the names of those two Soviet newspapers, when translated into English, meant “truth” and “news” respectively. Or, as the old exchange went: “How can you tell when a Soviet official is lying?” “When his lips move—or when you read Pravda.” Everyone understood that nothing in those party organs was believable. The same is true for today’s leftist-controlled media, both at home and abroad. And today, I have two examples of the agendas that are pro-Islamic and,

There is no other way to say it: today’s Democrats have a love-affair with criminals, violence, and vulgarity. Thus, they clearly favor illegal immigrants over citizens, criminals over the law-abiding, and chaos over the Constitution. The examples are legion, inexhaustible. To wit: The man charged with assaulting a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent with a Subway sandwich is a former DOJ employee, an ex-Swamp dweller. Hunter Biden recently claimed that Melania Trump met her husband through Jeffrey Epstein. Hunter dismissed First Lady Melania Trump’s demand for an apology for his statements linking the former super model to Jeffrey Epstein. Melania’s lawyers promptly persuaded the Daily Beast, who published the accusation, to post a retraction.

There was a lot of news this week. Texas Democrats, emulating their brethren in Wisconsin and Minnesota, fled to greener pastures in hyper-gerrymandered Illinois. The battle over illegal immigration continued. As of this writing, President Trump and Vladimir Putin are conferring in Alaska. But the overwhelming favorite of meme-creators was President Trump’s effort to get crime in the District of Columbia under control. That seems like a laudable objective, but every Democrat, without exception as far as I know, has lined up on the side of the criminals. The District has sued to stop Trump from saving residents from violence and disorder. And the Deep State,

Don’t be disappointed if you’re anxious to attend the Biden Presidential Library’s opening. It almost certainly will never exist. D.C. swampsters are trying to bury the record, hoping the public forgets how bad things were. Its subject will soon be either in the ground or too incapacitated to solicit funding. Biden staffers retaining criminal defense counsel have no interest in a library containing evidence for prosecutors to mine. No reporters from press outlets complicit in enabling chaos are hounding Biden. DOGE revelations testify to his administration's wholesale graft. FBI servers were purged of controversial data, unburdening what had been.

I received such an outpouring of comments to my recent bad T.V. and cable ads article that I thought I’d give this another shot. Currently, there are so many bad ads I had no problem finding truly dreadful examples. First, let’s check out an ad campaign that worked, American Eagle’s ads featuring Sydney Sweeney, a popular young Hollywood actress. Apparently, she not only has good genes, but good jeans. When those American Eagle Sydney Has Great Jeans ads broke a couple of weeks ago, three things happened. Immediately, the “progressive left” predictably lost their minds, flooding TikTok and YouTube with screaming video fits, calling Sydney a Nazi while claiming

It has always been hard to believe that the truck-bombing of the A.P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995, which killed 168 people, including 19 children at a daycare center, was planned by just one or two perpetrators acting alone. However, the official story states that the mastermind was Gulf War veteran Timothy McVeigh, and that the two others sentenced with him only helped him in various ways. Right from the start, warning signs indicated that the investigation was being misled. The FBI developed a story claiming that a group called the Patriots Movement, which included anti-government extremists and white supremacists, was responsible for the attack.

Harjinder Singh, who entered the country illegally and obtained a commercial driver’s license in California, has been charged with three counts of vehicular homicide in connection with Tuesday’s fatal crash, according to a news release from the Florida Dept. of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV).

Hamtramck City Council member Abu Musa was seen in the passenger seat of a car on Aug. 1 handing stacks of paper to the car’s driver, who then dumped them into a nearby ballot box, footage obtained by Local 4 appears to show. Musa held on to his re-election spot in the primary four days later on Aug. 5, beating out 11 other candidates with 1,129 votes.

Høiby, whose mother is the crown princess, Mette-Marit, and whose stepfather is the crown prince, Haakon, Norway’s future king, is expected to stand trial early next year and could face up to 10 years in prison if found guilty of the most serious charges. The charges, made public on Monday, include the rape of four different women, domestic abuse of a former partner, and illegally filming a number of women, including their genitals, without their knowledge or consent.

The controversial life and shocking death of financial fixer and child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein won a second of round of heavy media coverage after claims were made that Donald Trump knew Epstein. But Americans of all political stripes mostly agree on one thing: Epstein did not commit suicide, but was murdered, according to the latest I&I/TIPP Poll. The online national poll, taken by 1,362 adults, asked four questions total about Epstein’s controversial life. The poll has a margin of error of +/-2.7 percentage points. The first, and possibly most controversial, question asked: “Did Jeffrey Epstein die by suicide or was he murdered?”
