Actor Tim Allen brings Benghazi to sitcom TV; slams ‘socialist’ Calif., Obama’s integrity

BizPac Review 

... "When Allen appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” Wednesday to plug his show’s season finale in a fellow ABC venue, his comic intro was a literal man-on-the-street bit about the “socialist” state of California has made itself a magnet for the professionally homeless.

"And “Last Man Standing” lines are some of the few places keeping the Benghazi terror attack in the popular mind. A textbook moment came early in Friday’s finale during a set up about individual responsibility — one line of dialogue that probably touched more Americans than 100 Republican National Committee paid ads.

“ 'It’s called integrity,” Allen’s character says. “Something Obama doesn’t have with that Benghazi thing.' ”

"He’s a conservative all right. He doesn’t just play one on TV ."

"Anthony Foxx was the Democratic Mayor of Charlotte. Obama called him an “impressive leader” when he appointed him Secretary of Transportation and he certainly is leading when it comes to defending Muslim discrimination against Israeli Jews."

The disappearance of America’s will

"The most terrifying aspect of the collapse of US power worldwide is the US’s indifferent response to it.

"In Europe, in Asia, in the Middle East and beyond, America’s most dangerous foes are engaging in aggression and brinkmanship unseen in decades.

"As Gordon Chang noted at a symposium in Los Angeles last month hosted by the David Horowitz Freedom Center, since President Barack Obama entered office in 2009, the Chinese have responded to his overtures of goodwill and appeasement with intensified aggression against the US’s Asian allies and against US warships."
...
"It is because of this that Israeli officials are openly stating for the first time that the US cannot be depended on to either secure Israel’s eastern frontier in the event that an accord is reached with the Palestinians, or to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons."
...
"America’s spurned allies will take the actions they need to take to protect themselves. Some will persevere, others will likely be overrun."

Our allies do well to worry about America's will, because of not just Obama, but the electorate which put Democrats in power. Even a Winston Churchill, if elected as our president, would have great resistance from an unconcerned American public.
I feel President Bush was weak internationally after the Iraq war because of the press and public turning against him, appeasing where before he might have stood strong, as during the Georgia invasion. TD

Decoding Common Core Math. A more penetrating look

TW welcomes comments and articles explain the benefits of Common Core since we are -given the philosophy of the administration advocating it- inclined to be against it. TD
Perceived as this:

Accuracy In Academia   "If the Common Core education reforms introduced by President Obama and supported by big-name Republicans were subject to peer review, they might become a “whatever became of?” question.
“Take, for example, my first-grade son’s Common Core math lesson in basic subtraction,” David G. Bonagura, Jr., writes in an article which appeared in The Education Reporter. “Six- and seven-year-olds do not yet possess the ability to think abstractly; their mathematics instruction, therefore, must employ concrete methodologies, explanations, and examples.”
“But rather than, say, count on a number line or use objects, Common Core’s standards mandate teaching first-graders to ‘decompose’ two-digit numbers in an effort to emphasize the concept of place value. Thus 13 – 4 is warped into 13 – 3 = 10 – 1 = 9. Decomposition is a useful skill for older children, but my first-grade son has no clue what it is about or how to do it. He can, however, memorize the answer to 13 – 4. But Common Core does not advocate that tried-and-true technique.”
"The Education Reporter is published by the Eagle Forum, an organization founded by conservative attorney, author and activist Phyllis Schlafly. Bonangura’s article was reprinted by permission from National Review, in which it originally appeared."
