Loudoun County School District Called CPS on Dad for Asking Questions About Bad Teachers

 PJ Media 

 "We were all shocked and horrified when the Daily Wire broke the story about the Loudoun County dad who was dragged out of a school board meeting for trying to speak out about the massive coverup of the rape of his daughter that occurred in the girls’ bathroom by a gender-fluid boy in a skirt. But that’s not the only horror Loudoun County schools have been hiding. Luke Rosiak, the same reporter who broke the rape story is back at it again, and this time he uncovered how a Loudoun County school official called Child Protective Services on a dad for asking questions about county test scores. The New York Post has the story:

To hear Loudoun County, Va., educators tell it, Brian Davison is a violent lunatic, a physical threat, someone who should be in jail.

Davison is a ginger-haired 48-year-old who earned two degrees from MIT, then spent much of his career as a Navy officer. By profession, he is a nerd who specializes in “operations research,” finding ways to make organizations function more efficiently. After he had two kids, he figured he could volunteer his number-crunching skills to help their schools.

He’s not a monster. To teachers, he’s something more threatening: a mathematician.

"That mathemetician discovered that the schools were counting metrics wrong. When he used FOIA to get his hands on the data, the county refused to give it up.". . .

Biden Administration Bans Russian Oil, Tells Hurting Americans to Jump in a Lake

 RedState  

Of course, as expected, the Biden administration is not going to do what’s necessary. Yesterday, Jen Psaki snarkily responded to questions about reauthorizing the Keystone XL pipeline or increasing federal oil and gas leases on lands that are actually profitable to drill on.

. . ."In short, Americans are completely screwed, ruled by a hateful administration that does not care about them. It would be incredibly easy to mobilize America’s energy production, even if it takes some months to make up the gap. Instead, because Biden is so beholden to a Swedish teenager and the greater climate change lobby, he is going to sit idly by while you pay $5 a gallon for gasoline and 50 percent more for home heating and electricity.

"The White House is essentially telling hurting Americans to go jump in a lake. Elections have consequences I suppose, but I think even the most ardent Biden opponents didn’t expect it to be this bad. Far from the “empathizer in chief,” the president has continually shown himself to be a shallow, spiteful old man who spits on the middle-class in the name of far-left ideology.

"In this case, pushing for more domestic energy production would not only increase our national security (and that of our allies in Europe), but it would help struggling families who can’t afford to see their energy bills double. Something has to give, and perhaps it’s going to take a red wave in November to stop this insanity."

Cartoons - American Thinker

Silvio Canto, Jr.

. . ."The younger Trump tweeted this back in October 2020:"

If Biden gets in, not only will he destroy the Oil & Gas industry (and millions of American jobs and lives), we can all say goodbye to these unbelievably good gas prices. . . .

. . ."The Biden administration is desperately trying to connect gas prices with the war in Ukraine. 

"It's sort of like saying "Putin did that" or a reference to all those funny cartoons and stickers saying "Biden did that."

"Ukraine may be a factor.  But a bigger reason is the Biden policy to curtail domestic production and irrationally following the "green energy" crowd's agenda.

"The Biden administration decided to please "the greenies" in January 2021.  It led to a couple of results: higher gasoline prices here and letting Putin use oil as a weapon.

"Here is the good news: you can vote and stop this madness in November.

"Here is the bad news: get ready for more expensive gasoline and food prices."

With Democrats in power, we wake up every day wondering what our government will do to us next. TD

The woke military won't work - American Thinker

 

AF Branco - 

Eric Utter "Some British soldiers are demanding that their nation's armed forces introduce vegan uniforms that comport with their beliefs and practices.  According to online reports, a newly formed group in the British Army called "The Ministry of Defence Vegan and Vegetarian Network" has launched a campaign to empower vegans and vegetarians in the armed forces.

"One of the policies proposed by the vegan group is for military personnel to have the option to wear vegetarian-approved footwear not made from real leather.  Incredibly, the Royal Air Force has allegedly considered the notion.  This despite the fact that "vegan leather" may well be worse for the environment than real leather due to its lack of biodegradability and its use of plastic polymers.  Moreover, the non-animal-based synthetic materials are less durable than natural ones, such as the genuine leather used in standard military combat equipment.  Furthermore, the vegan alternatives would be significantly more costly than current materiel — and simply unfeasible in some instances.  

"The move to make the military openly inclusive to every woke group, no matter how small, is part of a broader effort by proponents of Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity (DIE) to revamp military doctrine to reflect trends they say are "relevant to our soldiers in the 21st century."  Such as doing away with the recognition of sexual dimorphism and gearing up to fight white supremacy, Christianity, patriotism, "toxic masculinity," and climate change?". . .

You do know about the Peter Principle, don't you?

 

"The Peter Principle is an observation that the tendency in most organizational hierarchies, such as that of a corporation, is for every employee to rise in the hierarchy through promotion until they reach a level of respective incompetence. In other words, a front-office secretary who is quite good at her job may thus be promoted to executive assistant to the CEO for which she is not trained or prepared for—meaning that she would be more productive for the company (and likely herself) if she had not been promoted.

"The Peter Principle is thus based on the paradoxical idea that competent employees will continue to be promoted, but at some point will be promoted into positions for which they are incompetent, and they will then remain in those positions because of the fact that they do not demonstrate any further competence that would get them recognized for additional promotion.

"According to the Peter Principle, every position in a given hierarchy will eventually be filled by employees who are incompetent to fulfill the job duties of their respective positions." . . .

The Peter Principle has reached its pinnacle in President Barack Obama.

. . ."If one wants a hawks-eye view into the minds of Obama voters, all one need do is read this piece published by the New York Times last week, detailing the fantasies, dreams and drooling-envy delusions of his followers.  Their celebrity is now their President. "The perfect collision of Murphy's Law with the Peter Principle has arrived to explode in our faces.  In the words of Britain's most eloquent commentator, "America, what have you done?"

Holocaust survivor speaks out against rising hate crimes, says BLM anti-Semitic

There is an overabundance of evil in this nation, being manifested in the forms of many Democrat politicians and celebrities, such as Maxine Waters and her constituents who beat Reginald Denny to the point of death; in our education system that calls right wrong and the repulsive beautiful; in violent young people who walk up to the unsuspecting and shoot them in cold blood; who punch elderly people they pass on sidewalks into a bloody pulp; of evil politicians who attempt to damage reputations of well-meaning national leaders with demagoguery...where to stop?  The Tunnel Dweller

Fox News  "EXCLUSIVE: A survivor of the Holocaust spoke out against a spate of anti-Semitic attacks in America, saying that Jewish people need to come together in solidarity against the hate.

"In 1941, when he was just one and a half years old, Sami Steigmann and his parents were deported by the Romanian government and put into the Mogilev-Podolsky labor camp in an area of Ukraine known as Transnistria.

" 'Being so young, a year and a half, I obviously could not work. And most of the kids did not survive," Steigmann said in an exclusive interview with Fox News. "So if you will ask any survivor ‘how come you are alive today,’ everybody will use only one word, and that is ‘luck.’"

" 'My luck was that I was never separated from my parents," Steigmann continued. "[The Nazis] did medical experiments on me and the side effects, I felt them all my life, every second, and I will feel them for the rest of my life."

Addict, Degenerate and Bagman of a Corrupt Family Enterprise Exposed - American Thinker   "It is hard to find words to describe the debauched and sleazy satyr that is Hunter Biden and how he used his family name and his father’s status as an important American politician to become an extraordinary international grifter involved in multi-million dollar -- sometimes billion dollar -- deals with international entities that included corrupt criminal enterprises such as Burisma Holdings of Ukraine and the government- and military-controlled companies of Russia and China, international enemies of the United States.

"His business activities and lifestyle were revealed on the laptop he left in a Wilmington, Delaware Mac computer repair shop owned by a Mr. Isaac, who took possession after Hunter failed to pick it up after 90 days.  Mr. Isaac had already fixed the water damage and looked at the contents, found discussions about Burisma (the Ukrainian oil and gas company) so he arranged through his father, a retired Air Force Colonel, to turn the laptop over to the FBI in Arizona.". . .

The huge lie in Garry Trudeau's Sunday edition of Doonesbury

 Andrea Widburg  "I started reading Doonesbury comics in 1971 or so, as soon as the syndicated cartoon first hit the San Francisco Chronicle.  I read those strips religiously for years.  In many ways, they provided my political education.  That's probably still true for generations of people, no matter their age, who turn to the comics first when they get the paper.  That's why it matters greatly that, in yesterday's Sunday comics, Garry Trudeau told a blatant lie about the newly enacted election laws in Georgia.  He needs to be taken to task, and I've volunteered for the job.". . .

. . ."Biden has already lied about this law.  Last March, he told reporters that Georgia "passed a law saying you can't provide water for people standing in line while they're waiting to vote."  False.  Of course, it's debatable how many people listen to Biden, so maybe the damage from the lie is limited.

"However, lots of people read the comics, and Trudeau has now told exactly the same lie.  Mike Doonesbury's daughter, Alex, is busy trying to charter a bus.  Doonesbury overhears the conversation, including her asking the bus owner, "Why would the bus be fire-bombed?"  When Doonesbury asks what the bus is for, Alex explains.  See if you can spot the lie:

Alex: A bunch of us are going to Atlanta this fall.

Doonesbury: Atlanta? What for?

Alex: To pass out water to voters waiting in line. It's against the law in Georgia. And if we get hauled off to jail like Dr. King, so be it! The whole world will be watching.

"If the State of Georgia were a person, I would tell it to sue Trudeau for such a grossly defamatory lie.". . . 

Biden Looks Around the World for Oil While Ignoring One Major Country's Supply

 Last week, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said importing oil from Iran, the world's largest state sponsor of terror, was being considered. 

Townhall    The price of oil has blown past $125 per barrel this morning as the Biden administration's climate change agenda continues to hamper progress on lowering costs. 

Over the weekend, a number of State Department diplomats were deployed to Venezuela in hopes of pulling off sanctions on the Maduro regime in order for the U.S. to tap back into the country's oil supply.

Of Course, That's Who America's Socialists Blame for the Russia-Ukraine War

We get the leaders we deserve, from this shallow teeny-bopper to that skateboarding troubled teen. TD

 Townhall

"Ukraine is hanging on against staggering odds. Russia has yet to gain air superiority and its tanks are running out of gas. The logistics of this invasion have been a disaster. Russia having more men and materials will be the reasons for why it wins this war—if that ever happens. The Ukrainians are mounting a tenacious and valiant defense that's left scores of Russian tanks, helicopters, and aircraft in piles of rubble. Russian troops are also being mowed down. Ukraine's holding, but it needs arms and ammunition. It's on its way, but the airport situation is unstable. In the meantime, that 40-mile Russian convoy could be taken out by some A-10 Warthogs, conditions permitting, as it's sitting idle, but once it moves, it will be part of the death knell push to win the war. 

"So, while we discussed matters at hand, America's socialists decided to do what they do best: blame America. Yes, they blamed America for the Ukraine war due to our imperialistic endeavors or something. They do know that it's Russia who invaded, right? Students for a Democratic Society, which has Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) as a member, decided to add its two cents into this conflict. It should have kept the change (via NY Post):. . ."

The Babi Yar ravine in Kiev is the site of some of the worst massacres of World War II.

... Anyway, the coverage from Babi yar made the headlines both in Soviet and US media and shattered the recent skepticism (in Western media) regarding the genocide on an industrial scale, the one which would be overcome only in 1944-1945 with the horrors of the concentration (Buchenwald, Dachau, Bergen-Belsen) and death camps. ...

Babi Yar today: History and Photos of Babi Yar ravine (war-documentary.info)  . . ."Those doomed to death were separated in small groups and convoyed down to the ravine under the supervision of Sonderkommando 4a officers. As for the open site itself, there was no direct visibility of the spurs of the ravine from that point: natural ups obscured the ravine and narrow foot passes allowed it to get down. Fated Jews had a devastating ability to hear the gunshots as well as screams of the previous groups. Regardless of the conventional misinterpretation (that all people were killed on a very tiny section of the ravine) of the topography of Babi yar, the 29-30 September 1941 massacre was put into action within a vast part of the ravine, at least 500 meters in length. The shootings were assigned to three separate killing squads, made of the mixed members of Sonderkommando 4a, Waffen-SS, and 45 police battalion: each of the squad operated in its own part of the ravine.". . .

Remembering Babyn Yar and Ukraine's forgotten 'Holocaust by Bullets' - BBC News

. . ."On October 2, 1941, Heinrich Himmler, the Reichsführer of the Third Reich, visited the city of Kyiv as a part of his ‘working visit’ to occupied Ukraine. FRIEDRICH JECKELN, one of the architects of the Babi yar massacre and the annihilation of the Jews in Kyiv, reported to the Reichsfuhrer on the results of the ‘Sonderauftrag’ and later organized a gala party for the executioners under his command. Jeckeln made a pompous speech all while condoning the crimes. The overwhelming majority of the members of the special squads (beyond Kyiv as well) used to regard the fate of their victims indifferent and cold-bloodedly, conventionally justifying taken measures, thus mas killing. Any disaffection on the killing of helpless civilians and POWs in Kyiv was voiced within this ‘festive occasion’. Along with that, the German executioners included a small proportion of men, who empathized with the victims of the racial war and even took diligent actions.". . .

Russia’s detention of WNBA star sparks fears Putin may use anthem-opposing player as bargaining chip

 BPR  "There are increasing fears that Vladimir Putin intends to hold a women’s professional basketball star who was arrested after she arrived in Moscow last month as a hostage as tensions between Russia and the U.S. continue to intensify.

"WNBA superstar Brittney Griner was seized by Russian authorities at Moscow’s airport for allegedly being in possession of an illegal substance in the form of hashish oil contained in a cartridge for a vape pen that was in her luggage, an offense that could result in a prison sentence of 5-10 years if she’s found guilty.

"With Putin not budging despite a crushing onslaught of official sanctions along with actions by the “public-private partnership” to cripple Russia financially – most recently the move by both Visa and Mastercard to suspend all operations by deactivating their cards for Russians – some suspect that Griner could be used as a bargaining chip.

"The two-time Olympic gold medalist who plays for the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury last made contact with the outside world on February 5 when she posted to Instagram, since then there has been silence from the 31-year-old seven-time All-Star.". . . 

. . .Some were unsympathetic to Griner’s plight, pointing out that she has opposed the national anthem before Mercury games and said that she would not be on the floor if the “Star-Spangled Banner” was played.

A couple years ago she protested playing of the National Anthem. She’s about to find out how good she had here in the US.
