[FOXBALTIMORE] Baltimore City Schools CEO Dr. Sonja Santelises apologized Tuesday night for failures at Augusta Fells Savage Institute of Visual Arts.
"I want to take this opportunity to apologize to those students and families who may be affected," she said at a school board meeting.
Our Project Baltimore report revealed that a student there passed just three classes in four years and has a 0.13 GPA.
The school CEO has yet to sit down with us to answer to what’s happening at Augusta Fells and within the school system, but she did speak on radio Wednesday.
Fox45 has sent repeated requests to city schools to speak with us about our Project Baltimore investigation.
Wednesday morning Dr. Santelises was asked directly about it on WBAL NewsRadio by hosts C4 and Bryan Nehman.
She told them the student was not officially a senior.
"While the student had been there, the fact that they, that he had only passed three classes meant that he was officially a freshman. That’s the first piece that I think is important," she said.
She then spoke to the student's GPA and class rank.
"I think one of the things about that that is important to know is that if you are a ninth grader, depending on when you pull the GPA, you might not have had any GPA as of yet for a ninth grader. It’s just read as zero if you have not actually completed a full series of classes. Depending on when the GPA was pulled then your GPA would show as zero only because you had not finished the quarter or had not finished the semester. So it’s possible that a lot of those students did not actually have a zero, but that he was being compared against ninth graders who had not yet had a full kind of report card reporting."
The student with a point .13 GPA was ranked 62 out of 120 students, showing that of those several did have GPAs on record.
"For us to accept what we just heard as an answer for why multiple students may be well over 16 years old and have passed three classes is unacceptable Bryan. It’s unacceptable," host C4 said.
"It is unacceptable and I guess it’s trying to explain away a little bit about what happened, but it’s hard to explain away how a kid goes that long and his school without a firm answer or idea from mom where he was," Nehman said.
Dr. Santelises explanation does brings up even more questions.
Fox45 and Project Baltimore are committed to finding answers and holding those in charge accountable.

If she thinks that that word salad passes for any type of answer at all--let alone an intelligible one--I think I begin to see why the students are in trouble.

[AMGREATNESS] The Wisconsin House of Representatives on Wednesday held a hearing to review election irregularities after newly revealed documents obtained by Wisconsin Spotlight revealed that Democrat activists, funded by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg ...the Peewee Herman clone who owns Facebook. He's got more money than Croesus and thinks he should be regulated by the government because it does such a nifty job with all the other stuff it regulates.... , were able to infiltrate the 2020 presidential election in Wisconsin’s five largest cities.
In Green Bay, a Democrat activist was actually given keys to the room where absentee ballots were stored before the 2020 presidential election.
The city received a total of $1.6 million in grant funding from the Zuckerberg-funded Center for Tech and Civic Life, according to Wisconsin Spotlight. A Democrat operative from New York named Michael Spitzer-Rubenstein became a "grant mentor." Any relation to... Naw. It couldn't be....
Spitzer-Rubenstein was the Wisconsin head of the left-wing National Vote at Home Institute, and has worked for several Democrat Party candidates. The Democrat mayor’s office gave the liberal activist access to Green Bay’s absentee ballots just days before the election.
The Wisconsin Spotlight’s report has prompted several Wisconsin politicians to call for the resignation of Green Bay’s mayor, and for an investigation into the city’s handling of the November presidential election.
According to the report, the emails show that Green Bay’s "highly partisan" Democrat Mayor Eric Genrich and his staff usurped city Clerk Kris Teske’s authority and let the Zuckerberg-funded "grant team" take over in "a clear violation of Wisconsin election statutes."
And the Red Guardsliberal groups were improperly insinuating themselves into the election system and coordinating with what became known as the "Wisconsin 5," the state’s five largest communities that split more than $6 million in Zuckerberg money.
The agreement Green Bay and the other members of the "Wisconsin 5" signed "was all about getting the money with conditions, and inviting private corporations [left-wing election groups] to get the election administration they wanted," Erick G. Kaardal, Special Counsel for the Thomas More Society, stated during the hearing, Wednesday.
Spitzer-Rubenstein, according to Wisconsin Spotlight, was allowed to essentially become "the de facto city elections chief."
"If the city clerk doesn’t run them there’s no transparency in the elections," Kaardal testified.
The documents show that Green Bay City Clerk Kris Teske initially resisted Spitzer-Rubenstein’s efforts to correct or "cure" absentee ballots returned to her office, but eventually, amidst an intense pressure campaign, gave up.
"Can we help with curing absentee ballots that are missing a signature or witness signature address?" Spitzer-Rubenstein wrote to Teske in an Oct. 7 email.
"While the Wisconsin Elections Commission permitted clerks to fix absentee ballot errors or omissions, it didn’t say former Democratic Party ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... operatives could ’help,'" the Wisconsin Spotlight pointed out. "The city clerk declined Spitzer-Rubenstein’s offer."

[RT] Speaker of the House Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments...

You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier... ’s defense as a surge of unaccompanied minors have reached the border and the administration has been accused of not being able to handle the situation.
"I trust the Biden administration’s policy to be based on humanitarian and love of children rather than political points or red meat for their — for their Republican base," Pelosi said at a Thursday presser.
Comparing Biden’s administration favorably to Trump’s when it comes to border policy was a point she hit multiple times, and one that has been echoed by White House officials as they have been questioned about the surge at the border.

[FOX] Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin overruled the chief of the National Guard Bureau with the decision to keep 2,280 National Guard troops at the U.S. Capitol, according to a memo obtained by the Fox News Channel.
Gen. Daniel R. Hokanson, chief of the National Guard Bureau, laid out in the memo his assessment that the National Guard cannot and should not fulfill the Capitol Police's troop request at this time, making the case that the National Guard is already over-stretched due to coronavirus constraints, civil disturbances and wildfires.
"Efforts to date have not secured enough volunteers among supporting states to meet the USCP request of 2,280 soldiers, nor Option B of 1000 soldiers," the memo stated.
"I am concerned that the continued indefinite nature of this requirement may also impede our ability to man future missions as both adjutants general and guardsmen alike may be skeptical about committing to future endeavors," the memo stated.

[RT] The Pentagon and multiple senior military officials have targeted Fox News host Tucker Carlson over a controversial segment criticizing the US armed forces becoming "more feminine."
In a segment highlighting the potential threat of China’s military to the US, Carlson pointed to comments made by President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden ...Candidate for president in 2020. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.... about "updating" certain requirements like hairstyles to change the "culture and habits" that cause women to "leave the US military."
"So we’ve got new hairstyles, maternity flight suits. Pregnant women are going to fight our wars," Carlson then said as he showed an image of an Air Force officer wearing a still-in-development maternity flight suit. The military has changed its rules so women can fly non-combat aircraft into their second trimester of pregnancy.
"It’s a mockery of the US military," Carlson said, noting the move towards a more "feminine" military in the US as opposed to a more masculine force in China.
Carlson’s comments quickly caught fire on Thursday, as critics accused him of disparaging women who serve.
The most surprising reaction, however, came from the Pentagon itself, which somehow found time to respond to Carlson.
"What we absolutely won’t do is take personnel advice from a talk show host or the Chinese military," Pentagon front man John Kirby told news hounds on Thursday.
Kirby added that he hopes Carlson realizes he made a "mistake" and expresses "some regret about the manner in which he essentially demeaned the entire US military and how we defend and how we serve this country."
Kirby also said that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin "shares the revulsion of so many others to what Mr. Carlson said."
While many critics shared the Pentagon’s criticism with glee, others questioned why a "talk show host" would even be a priority for them. "Ex-PFC Wintergreen, write a scathing response to that Tucker fellow!"
"Yes, sir, Mister Deputy Assistant Undersecretary, sir!"

You sure about that hot shot? China Ties Raise Questions for Biden’s Pick for Top Defense Post Joe Biden's pick for a top Pentagon post works at a research center partnered with China's Peking University, a school that has long been eyed as a security risk by western intelligence.
Colin Kahl, whom Biden tapped for undersecretary of defense for policy, has served as a senior fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies at Stanford University since the beginning of 2018. The institute oversees the Stanford Center at Peking University in northern Beijing, which opened in 2012.
Kahl is not the first Biden nominee whose employer has business entanglements in China. Biden's pick for secretary of state, Antony Blinken, cofounded the consulting firm WestExec, which helped U.S. universities raise money from China without running afoul of Pentagon grant requirements, the Washington Free Beacon reported last month. WestExec scrubbed the details of this work from its website over the summer.
Kahl, a longtime Biden national-security adviser and DJ, was closely involved in crafting the Obama administration's Iran nuclear deal and reportedly played a key role in removing language identifying Jerusalem as Israel's capital from the 2012 Democratic National Convention platform.
"The closer you are to Biden world the more likely it is that you ended up in a ChiCom orbit," one GOP official told the Free Beacon.
Coit Blacker, a senior fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute, said his employer agreed to open its Beijing outpost after receiving "an intriguing offer from the leadership" at Peking University in 2007, according to the Stanford Daily. "The way things work in China is nothing like this comes about accidentally," he added, suggesting that the proposal emerged from upper levels of the Chinese government.
The Australian Strategic Policy Institute, a national-security think tank founded by the Australian government, has warned of a "high risk" for groups partnering with Peking University, because of its collaborations with the Chinese military.
[THEHILL] Rep. Ilhan Omar ...Somali-American Dem representative from Minnesota. She was apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw on her mother's side... (D-Minn.) on Thursday introduced for the second time a bill that would guarantee full payment forgiveness on rent and home mortgage payments throughout the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... pandemic.
Under the bill, titled the Rent and Mortgage Cancellation Act, there would be no accumulation of debt for renters or homeowners, as well as no negative impact on a person’s credit rating or rental history.
The legislation also calls on the Department of Housing and Urban Development to establish and oversee a "Landlord Relief Fund," to cover any losses landlords would receive as a result of the payment cancellations.Omar, under the legislation, also hopes to increase the availability of affordable housing by creating an optional buyout to enable the purchase of private rental properties by nonprofits, public housing authorities, cooperatives, community land trusts, and states or local governments.
Omar said Thursday while introducing the bill along with some of its more than 20 co-sponsors that the country is facing "an unprecedented crisis that has put millions of Americans at risk of housing instability and homelessness."

She obviously does not understand how a monetary system actually works.
Stop and imagine the deeper ramifications in the monetary food chain. Think of the Banking / Wall Street extended melt down due the Housing Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac issue just 12+ years ago?
The results of this stupidity could be that, combined with a 1920's type Mega-Depression and lasting 10+ years.

Did she also seek to cancel property taxes and assessments?
Oh, that's right, to commies, you do not have personal property, it belongs to the state. You merely enjoy their benevolence in allowing you to think you do.

Wrote an Article on the History and Fallacy of Civil War Reparation Promises.
It is way too long for here as a comment.
Summarized:
While some have said 40 Acres and a Mule would cost America at least $6.5 Trillion in today's money.
The real figure should be based the purchase prices at the time of the unauthorized promise by Union Army General William Tecumseh Sherman on January 16, 1865 and adjusted for inflation.
1 ac. @ $7.00 x 40 acres = $280.00
1 working Mule age 3 years of age = $75.00
Total high value = $355.00 in 1865 dollars, or according to a popularly used internet inflation calculation app the $355.00 in 1865 would equal about $5,468.89 in 2018 US Dollars. Lets call it $6,000 for 2021.
Yes that means $6,000 divided over the whole now living family of a former proven slave between 1807-1865. note: 1807 is when the US banned the import of slaves.
Because Reparations is an inherited amount, it is divided among the living family, not multiplied.
NOT, each and every Black American, simply because of the MILLIONS of later African and other Non-Africa Dark Skin immigrants long after the 1900's. But only those that can PROVE their family's line dates back to actual US Slavery between 1807 to 1865. That figure would be about 2.5 Million in number able to prove properly dated slave lineage. Or less than about $15 Billion at the top end.
Then there is the question of the Taxes to pay for Reparations. How do you tax "others" based ONLY on RACE and/or tax those that arrived after 1865 in the USA having no responsibility for slavery? Or those that fought against it in the Civil War?

[EpochTimes] More than 90,000 ballots mailed to registered voters in Nevada’s largest county were returned undeliverable, according to an analysis of election data by a conservative legal group.
Clark County, which includes the Las Vegas metro area, made the extraordinary move to mail ballots before the November general election to all the nearly 1.3 million active voters in the county, instead of just those who requested them. The county justified the move as helping people vote remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic.
More than 450,000 voters cast their votes through the mail-in ballots. But more than 92,000 ballots were returned by the postal service as undeliverable, according to the Public Interest Legal Foundation’s (PILF) March 10 research brief (pdf).
The number is based on data provided in February by Clark County Voter Registrar Joe Gloria, the brief says. The Clark County Election Office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
"Mass-mail balloting is a step backward for American elections. There are millions of voter registration records with unreliable ’active’ address information that will ultimately send ballots to the wrong place in a mail election," PILF President J. Christian Adams said in the brief.
Prior to the election, PILF criticized such mass ballot mailings in states that hadn’t had such systems already in place.
The entire state of Nevada reported only 5,863 mail ballots returned undeliverable in the 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2018 General Elections combined, the brief says, referring to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission surveys.
Adams also took aim at the H.R. 1 election reform bill that was recently passed by the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives.
The nearly 800-page bill would largely shift power over elections to the federal government. It would discard state voter-ID laws, allow for same-day voter registration, ban witness signature requirements for mail-in ballots, and require that mail-in ballots can arrive as late as 10 days after election day (as long as it is post stamped by election day). It would also make it a federal crime to "communicate or cause to be communicated" information that is knowingly false and designed to discourage voting and require a plethora of other measures.

[TRENDINGPOLITICS] The unprecedented militarization of the nation’s capital has once again been extended with the Pentagon authorizing the presence of National Guard boots on the ground until at least late May.
On Tuesday, Secretary Of Defense Lloyd Austin agreed to keep 2,300 troops in Washington D.C. citing a support mission at the request of U.S. Capitol police; the number represents a further reduction from the 20,000 + National Guard members who were deployed under the pretense of protecting politicians from an "armed insurrection" that never occurred.
The announcement comes nearly a week after the House canceled scheduled votes citing intelligence over a "possible plot to breach the Capitol by an identified militia group," another false alarm that Democrats have used to justify the need for sweeping new domestic terrorism laws in which potential threats could be so vaguely defined so that legitimate political activity could be targeted.
According to a Pentagon statement: "This decision was made after a thorough review of the request and after close consideration of its potential impact on readiness," and that Defense Department officials would work with Capitol police to "incrementally reduce the National Guard footprint as conditions allow." Next step will be to create an Elite Republican Guard® with extra tassels on their uniforms and different colored berets...

Fred, c'mon, man! They can't call it a Republican Guard, even though that's who they're guarding against.
But I get the point, and am sure the Biden Boise will be able to dream up something more politically correct.

More and more I wake up to news like a movie script for another Schwarzenegger Terminator sequel. I think we are witnessing an exploitation phase of a Marxist Victory through unprecedented voter fraud and they are scrambling to advance their agendas across a wide swath of what remains of traditional American government and culture. In traditional Marxist lexicon, they know powerful counter-revolutionary forces are trying to form, but the propaganda dominance across the media is helping prevent organizing at the national level. Obama has achieved his transformational inertia and it hasn't slowed yet as they plan to push travel lockdowns, second amendment restrictions and massive immigration into red states.

I am of the opinion that we conservatives must either have a constitutional convention or secede and form a nation that does not include the current democrats or RINOS. How we exclude these folk and still provide for differing opinions is outside my capability to define. It is clear to me that people like Soros should not be welcome.
