Not Racist at All: Minnesota School Board Votes to Provide Extra Pay to Non-White Teachers
[Red State] Let’s just cut to the chase and dig into the crazy, shall we?

The Mankato, Minnesota, school board voted unanimously earlier this month to approve a policy to provide extra compensation exclusively to non-white teachers who become mentors to other non-white colleagues.

Nah, no way is that racist.

As reported by Alpha News, the board voted to amend district policy so that BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) teachers only may receive "additional stipends" to become mentors to BIPOC colleagues. The new policy will also provide funds for "placing American Indian educators at sites with other American Indian educators and educators of color at sites with other educators of color."

In addition to the new policy not being racist, it’s also not segregationist. [sarc]

School board member Erin Roberts ’splained, as transcribed by Alpha News:

#3  Time to go. Let them stew in their own mess they have created. Blue run states can only fail as is currently demonstrated. Same as with woke Liberal colleges as in a few short years 50% will be no more. (I understand under ten years). Look how men have walked away. Now they see how their policies have shot themselves in the foot. They try to figure out now how to recruit men into a hostile environment. They will never go back as they have only faith in their own ideas and ideals. Bye bye.

Racism is the marginalization and/or oppression of any group of people of based on a socially constructed racial hierarchy that awards privileges over another group.

If there is still law in Minn. then the School Board is headed to CIVIL and Criminal courts.

Given that whites seem to do better than blacks in school, would it not make more sense to assign the non-white teachers a white mentor? (Asking for a color-blind friend)

US Capitol rioters face harsh sentences as judges crack down on insurrectionists
[IsraelTimes] NY ’Proud Boys’ member who pled guilty faces 4 years in prison; Florida man handed 5 years for assaulting police; Iowa man could spend up to 20 years behind bars

More than 700 people have been charged with federal crimes related to the riot. Over 150 of them have pleaded guilty.
Across the United States, individuals linked to the unprecedented January 6 storming of the US Capitol have been facing tough sentences and unyielding prosecutors as the country approaches the first anniversary of the insurrection.

On Wednesday, a New York man pleaded guilty to storming the US Capitol with fellow members of the far-right Proud Boys, a milestone in the Justice Department’s prosecution of forces of Evil who joined the Jan. 6 incident.

#4  My guess is htey can slam these guys because half of the group were Feds and so they have lots of evidence against those they duped.

Other 'rioters' were not involved and only entered the building to take photos once the doors were flung open and they were invited in. Those are harder to prosecute as even if they did break a law the public opinion will be devastatingly against the narrative.
Posted by: ruprecht || 12/24/2021 9:49 Comments || Top||

#5  I'll get flamed, but I'd point out the non-federal employee participants in the Jan 6 hootenanny are basically the other side of the teefa coin. Hapless misfits looking for a moment of belonging. I will give you, none of them seem to have the sexual identity problems the teefas have.

Do they deserve to get chewed up over taking unguided tours of the crapitol building? Absolutely not. Were they ever in any position to topple the federal gummint? Absolutely not.
Posted by: M. Murcek || 12/24/2021 9:56 Comments || Top||

#6  A great opportunity now exists for a future prexident to order the demolition of the crapitol building "to make sure nothing like that ever happens again." That'd learn 'em...

#7  Yet more lies and BS from American Pravda + American Stasi.

The Capitol Hill Jan-sixers broke a window and put their muddy boots on Pelosi's desk. They were unarmed. They didn't injure or kill anyone.

Teefa criminals
- throw Molotov cocktails into police stations & police cars
- barricade federal officials inside buildings and set them on fire
- bash officers' and Secret Service officials heads in, with rocks, frozen bottles of water, bike locks, metal poles, chunks of concrete
- ambush and engage in target killings of ordinary citizens

BLM "activists" have injured hundreds, killed dozens, torched destroyed the small business of thousands.

-War on Police-
Ex-Gov. Cuomo won't be prosecuted over alleged groping of female trooper
[NYPOST] Former Gov. Andrew Sonny Cuomo
...former Dem dynastic governor of Noo Yawk, the son and heir of the late Mario Cuoma and formerly married to a Kennedy. Acclaimed for his leadership during the COVID epidemic, he managed the nation's highest corpse count while successfully hiding the returns and writing a book praising himself. Among the nation's horniest politicians, he had about a dozen allegations of sexual harrassment and groping against him when he resigned...
won’t be prosecuted for allegedly groping a female state trooper at Long Island’s Belmont Park — despite a determination that the woman’s claims are "credible" and "deeply troubling," the Nassau County District Attorney’s Office said Thursday.In a prepared statement, acting Nassau DA Joyce Smith said her office had concluded its probe into the Sept. 23, 2019, incident detailed by Attorney General Letitia James in the bombshell sexual harassment report that forced Cuomo to resign in August.

"Our exhaustive investigation found the allegations credible, deeply troubling, but not criminal under New York law," Smith said.

The unidentified trooper, who was serving as one of Cuomo’s bodyguards at the time, told James’ Sherlocks that Cuomo ran the palm of his left hand across her belly as she was holding a door open for him, according to James’ report.

Government Corruption
Victor Davis Hanson: Please --- stop the coup porn
[JEWISHWORLDREVIEW] In a recent Washington Post op-ed, three retired generals, Paul Eaton, Antonio Taguba, and Steven Anderson warn of a supposedly impending coup should Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
be elected in 2024.The column seemed strangely timed to coincide with a storm of recent Democratic talking points that a re-elected Trump, or even a Republican sweep of the 2022 midterms, would spell a virtual end of democracy.

Ironies abound.

Taguba is another nobody who it appears was fired by the Vice Chief of Staff of the Army (Gen Cody) for leaking information. Anderson and Taguba are clear failures trying to assuage their wounded pride.

Snakes that you don't see still exist. Have you ever noticed that the Army four star officer inventory historically...and currently...is predominantly composed of Officers north of the Mason/Dixon line? I was arrogantly informed by a senior staffer from the Senate Armed Services Committee that this was by design and a legacy policy dating to post Civil War concerns...and of course the Army four star selection process ensures this "policy" continues...the four stars gather and select the next four star nom for the President's approval. They are products of their liberal upbringing, enjoying the fruits of politics early with their political appointments to West Point. And guess what?...the result...many imagine themselves to be, um, political geniuses.

Home Front: Politix
Sinema Stops Biden's Plan To Nationalize Federal Election Laws
Bless the woman for her perspicacity and honour.
[TRENDINGPOLITICS] As 2022 approaches, Democrats are privately and publicly expressing their frustration with two of their U.S. Senators who continue to back crucial legislation from passing.

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema
...Dem senatrix from Arizona. She began her political career in the Arizona Green Party and rose to prominence for her progressive advocacy, supporting causes such as LGBTQ rights and opposing the war on terror. She left the Green Party to join the Arizona Democratic Party in 2004 and was elected to a seat in the United States House of Representatives in 2012. After her election, she joined the New Democrat Coalition, the Blue Dog Coalition and the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, amassing one of the most conservative voting records in the Democratic caucus. She won the 2018 Senate election to replace the retiring Jeff Flake, defeating Republican nominee Martha McSally. Sinema is the first openly bisexual (meaning she's not particular) and the second openly LGBT woman to be elected to the House of Representatives and to the Senate in 2012 and 2018, respectively. She also was the first woman elected to the Senate from Arizona....
(D-AZ) recently wrecked President Joe Biden
...... 46th president of the U.S. We get to suffer the consequences. So does Afghanistan, aka Biden's Bungle......
’s hopes of destroying federal election integrity laws by not supporting HR1 or ending the Senate filibuster. Senator Joe Manchin
...Dem senator-for-life from West Virginia. Manchin is one of the approximately one (okay, two) Dem senators who exhibits more integrity than Jello, often even representing his constituents...
(D-WV) just crushed Biden’s hope of getting his Build Back Better (BBB) massive spending bill passed.

Biden has been pushing to radically federalize elections, in spite of the Constitution.

"If we can get the congressional voting rights done, we should do it. ... There’s nothing domestically more important than voting rights," said Biden.

Sinema has also singlehandedly burst Biden’s desperate attempt to weaken election integrity laws by stating she will protect the 60-vote filibuster threshold.

Fifty Senate votes are needed to trash the filibuster. If the filibuster is terminated, a simple majority vote could be held to destroy election laws.

#9  Another Christmas gift to go with Manchin's. Kurt's on a roll today - enjoy:

Our Appalachian brothers and sisters are hardly going to get excited about being driven into poverty by the BBB's climate hoax insanity just so some coastal swells can obtain indulgences from Gaia to excuse their private jets.

And the sturdy, sensible folks of the hilltops and hollows are unlikely to be persuaded by the ravings of a pack of skeeves better suited to riding around in a panel van offering puppies and free candy to passing pre-teens.

Kamala Harris has told confidants she would get better press coverage if she was a white man
Different coverage, anyway. Mostly about his incompetence.
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Amid low approval ratings and continued press attention on her role, Vice President Kámala Harris
Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, then a senatrix from California, and then a former 2020 Dem presidential hopeful. She dropped out because she was polling in negative numbers because of racism or misogyny or something like that. Her father is a Marxist professor emeritus at Stanford and her mother is an Indian of the Hindoo tribe. She is reputedly the proud descendant of a long line of women. Joe Biden picked her for her skin tone, feeling she could also bring in the Native American, women's, and bimbo votes. She's an outstanding exemplar of the Peter Principle, proudly displaying her level of competence in her handling of the Biden Border Surge
has turned to another powerful woman who clashed with critics, former Secretary of State 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...
, for guidance.

And she has concluded she would get better treatment in the media if she were white and male like all of her predecessors, telling her allies as much.

Harris has contended with departing aides and gripes about her leadership style, amid complaints from within her circle about that difficult tasks she has been assigned, including dealing with 'root causes' of the border crisis.

For guidance she has sought out for Clinton, who lost the 2016 election to Donald Trump
...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
, and famously once complained about a 'right wing conspiracy' against her.
