[NYPOST] American parents are organizing to fight racist critical race theories being taught in their kids’ schools. Attorney General Merrick Garland ...Attorney General of the U.S., who classifies indignant parents as domestic terrorists. The is the respected legal scholar Obama nominated for the Supreme Court... , once touted as a moderate, has responded by asking the FBI ...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time... to treat them as domestic terrorists. As befits the Biden administration, the same old faces in slightly different places, the same old ideas, the same old graft ...the pack of self-imagined masterminds of strategy and intrigue at the service of the Biden Crime Family and a grateful nation... , this over-the-top authoritarianism is accompanied by the stench of corruption, as it turns out that Garland’s son-in-law is in the business of selling educational materials on CRT.
Garland’s self-dealing and thuggery are grounds for resignation. But that isn’t the worst thing that’s happened. Bad as it is, the Biden administration’s poisonous combination of graft and authoritarianism can be remedied by getting rid of the administration — something that, if polls are any indication, is eminently doable.
The bigger problem is that school boards all over America seem to be growing ever more authoritarian themselves. Instead of serving as bastions of small-scale representative democracy, boards seem to regard themselves as above accountability to the voters and parents.
It was, after all, the National School Boards Association that, citing shaky claims of "threats," asked the administration to investigate anti-CRT parents as "domestic terrorists," specifically invoking the Patriot Act in its letter.

School Board elections usually areignored by most people eligible to vote. Only the teachers, administrative staff and employees and those in the PTA vote, so the boards are generally pro teacher and pro status qup. Where most students are bussed from afar, and most parents hardly know where the schools are, parental contact with the schools occurs mainly through complaints by parents who are unhappy with their children's progress. Teachers tend to hate that contact, and do not realize that teachers and parents should be working together.

#2, Not so much in my district.
The pro-union board is getting stiff opposition this year. Mask mandates and remote learning had a lot to do with the opposition.

When I was a newspaper reporter, sometimes people would say to me "Oh, that must be such an interesting job!" I'd respond "Wanna cover a school board meeting for me?"

Mark Levin had the right take - that this is the hill we die on. We're fighting for our kids now and must win. Otherwise, there is nothing left to fight for.

[AmericanThinker] Affirmative Action: Obviously a euphemism for institutionalized racism. Apparently, it's OK to discriminate against people of European descent rather than blindly consider merit. And in the absence of merit, mediocracy becomes more prevalent. This is the left's preferred remedy, rather than allow the "clients" of this practice better access to quality education so they can have more marketable skills.
Minimum Wage: Based on the myth that standards of living can be elevated by government edict rather than increases in productivity. Advocates for minimum wage rely on the slander that employers (AKA job-creators) exploit their workers, and they confuse the price of a worker's time with its value. The market for labor is not at all different from other markets: prices are determined by the tension between supply and demand. Personal experience: We hired the niece of one of our regular workers to come in after school and tidy things up. Among other things, I had to show her how to use a broom. After a while, the local do-gooders raised the minimum wage, and we had to let her go — and then we hired a bonded and insured janitorial service that came in after we closed and did better work, all for about the same money.
Homelessness: Another euphemism, this time for conspicuous vagrancy. Now they're using the term "unhoused," while I prefer "street bums." The explanation proffered for this sacred cow is a shortage of affordable housing. It just so happens that all housing is affordable, or else it's vacant. What good is a vacant property to its owner? Taxes; insurance; and, often, debt service are still being charged. Meanwhile, substance-abusing useless adults are flocking to the blue cities, particularly those that enjoy mild weather, largely because of the political nincompoopery that embraces their deplorable condition. Cities have always had skid rows, but this used not to be such a problem. Even losers had enough of a sense of shame to stay out of sight — eventually, perhaps, even repairing their lives and moving on. Now it's a protected life style.

Off topic, but:
Noting that the current trend is that we are supposed to eat 'organic' food, because frankenfood bad!
Has anyone else wondered about the dissonance of them pushing "synthetic meat" products loaded with chemical additives?
Just wondering.

In my high school chem class we were taught that 'organic' meant 'of biologic origin and containing carbon.'
1. Abortion. "I have the right to choose what my body does." However, this doesn't apply to COVID vaccines and masks.
2. The election was a fraud and rigged and Biden is not the legitimate president (a fraud).
3. CRT
4. The staged border crisis.
5. Energy independence
6. Climate change is a fraud.
7. The "Green New Deal" is a fraud.
8. The Dems and the Russia, Russia, Russia fraud.
9. Other frauds.

I didn't mean to imply that "energy independence" is a fraud. If you toss it into a conversation as something good, you are certain to invite a screaming leftist fit.
[FOXNEWS] A district court judge issued a Temporary Restraining Order blocking Texas S.B. 8 child sacrifice abortion law on Wednesday, finding in favor of the U.S. Department of Justice, which had sought the order to block the law from going into effect.
"A person’s right under the Constitution to choose to obtain an child sacrifice abortion prior to fetal viability is well established. Fully aware that depriving its citizens of this right by direct state action would be flagrantly unconstitutional, the State contrived an unprecedented and transparent statutory scheme to do just that," U.S. District Judge Robert Pittman, of the Western District of Texas, Austin Division, wrote in a 113-page ruling.
The Texas law, signed by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott ... governor of Texas. Abbott is a Republican. His 2014 Dem opponent, state senatrix Wendy Davis, thought the absolute, most pressing, most important issue facing the state was abortion. Abbott beat the pantyhose off her. His 2018 opponent, Lupe Valdez didn't dwell too heavily on abortion, but she lost too... in May, prohibits child sacrifice abortions once medical professionals can detect cardiac activity, usually around six weeks and before many women know they’re pregnant. Rather than having the state enforce the ban, the law creates a private right of action against individuals who commit or aid and abet an child sacrifice abortion that violates the law — but not against the woman who undergoes the procedure.

[The Last Refuge] Earlier today, during a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing on the Arizona vote outcome, representative Andy Biggs (R-AZ) questioned Maricopa County officials about their deletion of 2020 election data in order to avoid a state senate subpoena for election records.
Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Chairman Jack Sellers and the boards vice chairman, Bill Gates, admitted they intentionally deleted election data to route it onto an archive file. The archives of the county records were not subpoenaed, that way the county could avoid sending the full 2020 election data to the auditors.
The admission takes place at 01:52 of the video testimony

[REALCLEARINVESTIGATIONS] Cybersecurity experts who held lucrative Pentagon and homeland security contracts and high-level security clearances are under investigation for potentially abusing their government privileges to aid a 2016 Clinton campaign plot to falsely link Donald Trump ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... to Russia and trigger an FBI ...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time... investigation of him and his campaign, according to several sources familiar with the work of Special Counsel John Durham.
Durham is investigating whether they were involved in a scheme to misuse sensitive, nonpublic Internet data, which they had access to through their government contracts, to dredge up derogatory information on Trump on behalf of the Clinton campaign in 2016 and again in 2017, sources say — political dirt that sent FBI Sherlocks on a wild goose chase. Prosecutors are also investigating whether some of the data presented to the FBI was faked or forged.
These sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive law enforcement matter, said Durham’s Sherlocks have subpoenaed the contractors to turn over documents and testify before a federal grand jury hearing the case. The Sherlocks are exploring potential criminal charges including giving false information to federal agents and defrauding the government, the sources said.
The campaign plot was outlined by Durham last month in a 27-page indictment charging former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann with making a false report to the FBI. The document cites eight individuals who allegedly conspired with Sussmann, but does not identify them by name.
The sources familiar with the probe have confirmed that the leader of the team of contractors was Rodney L. Joffe, who has regularly advised the Biden White House on cybersecurity and infrastructure policies. Until last month he was the chief cybersecurity officer at Washington tech contractor Neustar Inc., which federal civil court records show was a longtime client of Sussmann at Perkins Coie, a prominent Democratic law firm recently subpoenaed by Durham. Joffe, 66, has not been charged with a crime.
Neustar has removed Joffe’s blog posts from its website. "He no longer works for us," a spokeswoman said.
A powerful and influential player in the tech world, Joffe tasked a group of computer contractors connected to the Georgia Institute of Technology with finding "anything" in Internet data that would link Trump to Russia and make Democratic "VIPs happy," according to an August 2016 email Joffe sent to the researchers. The next month, the group accused Trump of maintaining secret backchannel communications to the Kremlin through the email servers of Russia-based Alfa Bank. Those accusations were later determined to be false by the FBI, Special Counsel Robert Mueller, the Justice Department inspector general and a Senate intelligence panel.

[FOXNEWS] Virginia Republican gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin, locked in a margin-of-error race with Democratic former Gov. Terence McAuliffe this fall, told Fox News he is not surprised his opponent admitted President Joe Biden ...... 46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing...... 's popularity is collapsing in the Old Dominion.
On "The Story", host Martha MacCallum noted Biden won Virginia by more than 10 points, and contrasted that with McAuliffe's admission during a leaked videoconference with Democratic activists that "headwinds from Washington" and "Biden [being] unpopular in Virginia" could hurt his campaign if they do not get out the vote.
McAuliffe, a longtime confidant of Bill and Crooked Hillary Clinton ...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away. Politix is not one of her talents, but it's something she keeps trying to do... who preceded term-limited incumbent Gov. Ralph Coonman Northam Governor of Virginia, another Dem Great White Hope. He has a fondness for wearing blackface. He won election by calling his Publican opponent Ed Gillespie a racist, but then, don't they all? , is leading Youngkin by 4 points or less in a state that recently saw its legislature flip Democratic, and hasn't had a Republican governor or U.S. senators in a decade.
"President Biden is unpopular because he’s failing as our president," said Youngkin.
"We watched what happened in Afghanistan. He absolutely abandoned Americans and our military and allies; Afghans that had been shoulder to shoulder with us. There is a complete failure at the border. He’s ruining our economy."

Don't ever accuse a Texan of something he didn't do. And these riders were Texans. It's a really weird feeling when you find yourself way out there in Del Rio surrounded by a group of real cowboys during your "investigation".
[HOTAIR] From the beginning of the pandemic, many of us realized that there was no easy answer to the eviction situation with so many people suddenly out of work. When the moratorium ended, either the delinquent renters would be unable to catch up and be evicted or the landlords would be unable to recover their loss rental incomes and go bankrupt. The only way to avoid the situation would be to dump the problem on the backs of the taxpayers and bail everyone out.That’s exactly what happened. In the pandemic rescue package, nearly fifty billion dollars was allocated to send to delinquent tenants so they could pay off their landlords. That money is finally flowing out and the crisis in many areas has been largely averted. Also, as the AP notes, many landlords who could serve eviction notices right now have been voluntarily holding off if the tenant has applied for the federal funding. That generosity is probably cheaper than going through all of the hassle of a court proceeding to evict someone.
Another factor is the fact that there are still localized eviction moratoriums in place in some states and cities. But assuming most of those people also apply for federal aid through the rescue deal, it’s possible that most of them will see their situations sorted out as well.
Yes, there were certainly still some evictions taking place. The AP features a story about a woman who is a grandmother and an exotic dancer (?) who was evicted in Tucson recently, along with her two children and her grandchild. She’s currently staying with relatives while applying for grant money to get a new apartment. I’m sure there are many more of those stories out there.
So what lesson should we take away from all of this? Was it really a wise investment of $50 billion in taxpayer money to settle the debts of these renters and those who were delinquent on their mortgage payments? I suppose the government has done far stupider things with our money in the past, and at least real, working-class people (in many cases) are benefitting from it. And since it was the government’s decision to shut down the economy and cause everyone to lose their jobs to begin with, perhaps that’s where at least some of the responsibility should have been placed all along.

The guy who single-handedly lost Afghanistan...... ’s popularity continues to plummet over his foreign policy fiascos, inability to sell his keynote domestic agendas in his own party — and even his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.A new Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday shows just 38 percent of Americans approve of the job Biden is doing, down from 42 percent in the same poll three weeks ago and 50 percent approval in mid-February.
"Battered on trust, doubted on leadership, and challenged on overall competency, President Biden is being hammered on all sides as his approval rating continues its downward slide to a number not seen since the tough scrutiny of the Trump administration," Quinnipiac polling analyst Tim Malloy said in a statement summarizing the devastating findings.
The poll puts Biden underwater on his handling of every major issue. Approval of the president’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which Quinnipiac put at 65 percent in late May, was down to 48 percent in Wednesday’s poll. Disapproval of Biden’s handling of the pandemic, by contrast, has shot up to 50 percent from 30 percent in late May.

Tune in for the next episode of the TrumanBiden Show where he discovers that he is NOT on a TV set playing a part and his handlers are not the directors of the show...
Probably the deal was too far down in the grass for him to be aware of it. Even if he was in his right mind, he's sttill not required to be omnicient.
[FOXNEWS] White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki ...a valley girl who woke up one morning and found she was spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of State under Obama. A new American success story, under Biden she became spokeswoman for the whole administration, and she was even able to get her sister a job... attempted to walk back a statement by presidential climate envoy John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, unsuccessful presidential candidate, and utterly failed Secretary of State... which claimed President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. The guy who lost Afghanistan, aka Biden's Bungle... "had not been aware of what had transpired" following a submarine deal with Australia that upset the French.
"Of course he was aware of the French being upset," Psaki said in response to a question on the matter from Fox News' Peter Doocy. "He of course was aware, the president, of the French being displeased about the deal with the Australians. John Kerry also speaks regularly to the French as part of his role as the climate envoy. He's someone who also served as Secretary of State."
When pressed further on the matter and asked why the president "doesn't know about these things in real-time," Psaki, once again, insisted that Biden "of course knew about the French being displeased" and suggested he "ask John Kerry specifically about the context of his comments," saying Biden and Kerry "are good friends."
