Renaming-Obsessed San Francisco School Board Should Rename Harvey Milk Elementary

 legalinsurrection  . . . "Another San Francisco school that’s crying out 

Obama's hero

for renaming is the Harvey Milk Elementary. Yes, there is an elementary school in San Francisco named after the member of San Francisco Board of Supervisors who was romantically involved with a
string of troubled teens. One of Milk’s young lovers, Jack Lira, committed suicide while living with the aspiring First Gay Mayor. Milk was nonplussed. In Cult City, Daniel J. Flynn notes that in a few short weeks after the death, Milk moved a new lover into the apartment where Lira took his life. 

"Milk, of course, was no children’s rights advocate. As families were fleeing the pre-AIDS San Francisco, then Supervisor Diane Feinstein raised a stink about exhibitionists taking over the city and proposed confining porn stores to designated areas. Milk campaigned against her solution which in his opinion was “something out of the 50’s,” and “19th century moralistic.” The horror! 

"Milk’s celebrated activist career and short tenure on the Board of Supervisors are highly controversial.

"He was an early practitioner of canceling, with his targets being the anti-gay crusaders John Briggs, and Anita Bryant. The Jewish radical frequently used Holocaust analogies to evoke a sense of urgency behind the gay rights movement. " . . .

Peter Sprigg of the Family Research Council wrote, “Milk is famous only for winning one election, being murdered — and having sex with men.” Nevertheless, Milk has been celebrated with an opera, a 2014 postage stamp, a state holiday, a children’s picture book, and was played by Sean Penn in a movie of his life in 2008. He posthumously received the Presidential Medal of Freedom for some reason from Barack Obama in 2009.

CBS's SWAT Starts Questioning Anti-Cop Culture: 'How Do You Cancel the Police?' | Newsbusters  "Could common sense actually be returning to network television cop shows? Are some Hollywood scriptwriters waking-up to the insanity of the left's radical anti-police activism?

"CBS's normally BLM-friendly cop drama S.W.A.T called out the anti-police crowd's woke hypocrisy and unfairness in this week's episode, 'Sins of the Father,' on April 7. In the episode, quintessential good guy Sgt. Deacon Kay (Jay Harrington) was excited about his son's school career day. Deacon planned to speak to the kids about his work as a police officer. Then he got a call from his son's teacher telling him the parents do not want a cop presenting to their kids." . . .

A Million Little Lies? ABC Drama Pushes False Narrative on Asian Hate | Newsbusters

This was an obvious jab at Trump for initially referring to COVID-19 as the “China virus,” which the left believes is the cause for the supposed uptick in violence towards Asians, despite the media also repeatedly calling it the "Wuhan" or "Chinese Coronavirus." Yet, Trump simply called it the “China virus” because that’s where it originated, just like West Nile virus, Spanish Flu, Ebola, Zika, Lyme and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) were all named for their place of origin.

 Big Three CENSOR Study Saying Biden’s Corporate Tax Hikes Will Cost 1M Jobs in 2 Yrs | Newsbusters  "The ABC, CBS and NBC evening news networks ignored yet another major economic report slapping down President Joe Biden’s ridiculous corporate tax hike plan as disastrous. 

"The National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) released a new damning economic study Thursday ripping apart another Big Lie in Biden’s agenda. The study projected that a corporate tax hike from 21 percent to 28 percent — in addition to other items like increasing the top individual tax rate and reinstating the corporate alternative minimum tax — “would result in less economic activity and 1 million jobs lost in the first two years.” But that’s not all. “The average annual reduction in employment would be equivalent to a loss of 600,000 jobs each year over 10 years,” the study’s summary reported. So much for Biden’s recent assertion that “[t]here’s no evidence” his corporate tax hike would hurt the economy." . . .

Biden and Iran; such a lovely matchup

Team Biden caves on Iran — and gets nothing in return  "Even before the “indirect” US-Iran talks in Vienna had finished up, Team Biden caved, with the State Department saying it’s ready to lift sanctions on the rogue regime to rejoin the nuclear deal — giving away all leverage without getting a thing in return.

"Spokesman Ned Price said Washington is “prepared” to lift all sanctions “that are inconsistent with” the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. He wouldn’t offer details: “I am not in a position here to give you chapter and verse on what those might be.”

"And Price refused in repeated questioning to rule out even dropping separate sanctions put on Tehran for its terrorism, human-rights violations and ballistic-missile program.

"That cave came after just two days of indirect talks — with reps from China, Russia, Germany, France and Britain as intermediaries — that Iranian President Hassan Rouhani crowed were already a “success.” . . .More...

Jim Crow is busy, busy, busy

 Don Surber

"When Democrats took charge of the South after Reconstruction, they made racial discrimination the law of their part of the land. They passed Jim Crow laws to keep the black man down. 

"Jim Crow died in 1964. LBJ killed him with the help of 27 of the 33 Republican senators who voted to end a filibuster by 22 Democrat senators from the South and Bob Byrd.

"30 years after passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 -- after the last white supremacist died -- Republicans began the long slog to political dominance. The South prospered.

"Unable to win an election on merit in the South, Democrats used the covid 19 crisis to replace the ballot box with the mailbox and stole Georgia's election.

"Republicans got smart and reformed the election law. 

"Democrats denounced it as JIM CROW because somehow black people who have a photo ID to drive a car, buy a beer, or get a pack of smokes do not have such identification when it comes to voting." . . .

A Self-Loathing Ruling Class Cannot Endure

 Conrad Black; American Greatness

The U.S. now has an official regime of lies, supported by an almost worthlessly dishonest media, and scores of millions of Americans brainwashed into the false view that they live in an evil country. 

. . . "There was from the start the terrible problem of slavery, which belied the assertion that “all men are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights.” The Civil War was conducted in the North to preserve the Union, and only the immense political dexterity of Abraham Lincoln achieved the approval of the emancipation of the slaves as a war aim, in part to stir unrest within the Confederacy.

"Segregation continued to be enforced with an iron fist in the South and not infrequently in parts of the North as well, for over a century. The South was completely defeated but had received credit for 60 percent of the slave population in establishing their congressional and Electoral College representations before the war and henceforth received 100 percent credit for the African Americans who, though nominally emancipated, still could not vote in the South.

"When Franklin D. Roosevelt was hassling Winston Churchill in the midst of World War II about granting independence to India and suggesting texts from the founding of America as models to use, Churchill was well within his rights in saying to his entourage (although, unfortunately, he did not say it to Roosevelt) that he would take his solicitude for the vast masses of India more seriously if he could pass an anti-lynching law in his own Congress." . . .  

Here’s a Modest Proposal for Handling Biden’s Nominees

 Here’s a Modest Proposal for Handling Biden’s Nominees

Senate Republicans should adopt their own Duckworth-Hir[o]no rule to show Joe Biden that white Protestants should still be able to participate in the government. 

"You may have missed it in the tumult of the news cycle, but just last week, we were treated to a masterclass in statesmanship by Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), who announced a new rule: Hereafter, she will oppose all of Joe Biden’s nominees who are not LGBTQ or minorities.

“ 'I will vote for racial minorities and I will vote for LGBTQ, but anybody else I’m not voting for,” the Democratic Demosthenes told an eager audience of reporters. She was soon joined in her effort by the Solon of the Senate, Maize Hirono (D-Hawaii), whose intelligence, wisdom, and integrity are often remarked upon by Capitol observers.

"I believe that enacting a GOP version of the new Duckworth-Hirono rule, which drew praise from many in the media and was obviously effective in getting both attention and political concessions from Biden, will make Republicans more popular with the press, which is always interested in equal treatment of both parties.

"After all, within hours of Duckworth’s announcement, Biden—shamed at having his obvious racism against Asian Americans exposed—announced he would appoint a senior Asian American White House liaison to make sure that this group would no longer suffer from only moderate over-representation in Biden’s cabinet-level appointments. As a result, Duckworth and Hirono agreed to suspend their rule—for now. Mission accomplished!" . . .

"Anyway, I hope you have a happy Independence Day! Just remember: sparklers are dangerous, keep at least six feet away from anyone else, wear a mask (or two), and make sure to ask everyone if they’ve been vaccinated before allowing them to gather with you!

Biden's California Dream; "Make America California."

 

Frontpagemag   "I was surprised to read (in The Los Angeles Times) that the Biden administration's "role model for America" is... California! He wants to "Make America California."

"That is a terrible idea.

"Californians now rush to move out of California.

"Some hopeful folks still move there, but so many more leave that California now loses more than 10,000 citizens every month. In fact, the state will soon lose a congressional seat.

"Why do Californians leave? "Exorbitant tax rates, high crime rates, the failing public school systems, the exorbitant cost of living," says reporter Kristen Tate in my new video.

"So many Californians move away that there's now even a shortage of U-Hauls. Renting one to go from Los Angeles to Houston costs four times as much as it does to go from Houston to LA.

" 'People are just emptying out!" says Tate.

"But this seems crazy. California has great weather and all kinds of natural advantages.

Biden Builds Back Obama's Middle East

  Washington Free Beacon   "Column: And makes a mockery of his democracy agenda

"That didn't take long. One week after piously and erroneously repudiating the Commission on Unalienable Rights established by his predecessor Mike Pompeo, Secretary of State Antony Blinken revealed the hollow selectivity of this administration's commitment to human rights and democratic reform.

"On April 7, Blinken said he was "pleased to announce" the reinstatement of tens of millions of dollars in aid to the West Bank and Gaza and of some $150 million to support the U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). "All assistance will be provided consistent with U.S. law," Blinken added.

"Easier said than done. The Taylor Force Act, signed into law in 2018, withholds aid from the Palestinian Authority until the State Department certifies that the ruling party of the West Bank has terminated payments to family members of terrorists. It hasn't. That was one reason the Trump administration slashed the aid in the first place. Nor is there evidence that suddenly the Palestinians have curtailed the so-called pay-to-slay schemes that incentivize the murder of civilians and the perpetuation of conflict. On the contrary: They bristle at the idea of changing their corrupt and self-destructive ways.

"A second law from 2018, the Anti-Terrorism Clarification Act, holds beneficiaries of foreign assistance legally and financially responsible for terrorism committed against U.S. citizens. This notion—that the Palestinian Authority might actually have to pay a price for its incitement to anti-Semitic violence—so terrified the leadership in the West Bank that it sent a letter to the Trump administration in February 2019 renouncing U.S. aid. I must have missed the make-up note postmarked Ramallah." . . .

Pete Buttigieg: Racism is 'physically built into' country's highways

 Washington Examiner  "Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg suggested in a recent interview that racism is built into the country's highway system.

“ 'There is racism physically built into some of our highways, and that’s why the jobs plan has specifically committed to reconnect some of the communities that were divided by these dollars,” the former South Bend, Indiana, mayor told reporter April Ryan this week in an interview discussing President Joe Biden’s proposed $2 trillion infrastructure plan.

"Buttigieg explained that several major highways in the United States negatively affect minority communities.

“ 'Well, if you’re in Washington, I’m told that the history of that highway is one that was built at the expense of communities of color in the D.C. area,” he said. “There are stories, and I think Philadelphia and Pittsburgh [and] in New York, Robert Moses famously saw through the construction of a lot of highways.”

"Buttigieg added that there has been a lack of federal infrastructure projects in black communities throughout history and said it “wasn’t just an act of neglect” but rather a “conscious choice” that the Biden administration hopes to rectify in the new spending package." . . .

"PSAKI: "Well, first, he's -- the panel's being asked to do a number -- take a number of steps, including the pros and cons on exactly that issue. But they will also be looking at the court's role in the constitutional system, the length of service and turnover of justice on the court -- justices on the court, the membership and size of the court, and the court's case selection, rules, and practices. And the makeup of this commission, which was vital for the president is, there are progressives on the court, there are conservatives on the court, people will present different opinions and different points of view and then they'll have the report at the end of 180 days.'

WATCH: Trump Hammered Biden on Packing SCOTUS with 'Radical Left Justices' During 2020 Debate (trendingpolitics.com)  "Future president Joe Biden misled the American people and deflected numerous times on the campaign trail about packing the U.S. Supreme Court with radical justices.

On Friday, however the White House is expected to issue an executive order to form a commission in a first step towards potentially packing the Supreme Court.

Biden’s track record of opposing court-packing, a partisan practice that was widely rebuked under the Roosevelt administration, runs directly contrary to even exploring the measure.

In October, while in Cincinatti, Ohio, Biden told a WKRC reporter that he “not a fan” of the practice." . . .

Former celebrity vocal coach shares how 'darkness' in Hollywood inspired album on spiritual warfare

“People can try to minimize what comes out of Hollywood and say, ‘Oh, it’s just entertainment,’ but it has a tremendous effect on the psyches and souls of our young people,” she said. “The Church needs to stand up against this darkness because it’s truly having a devastating effect on the next generation.”

Christian Post  "A Hollywood celebrity vocal coach has shared how, after God opened her eyes to the “darkness” surrounding her in the secular music industry, she felt compelled to write a worship album focusing on spiritual warfare.

"For years, Kira Fontana worked as a successful vocal coach to major labels and shows such as Glee and The Voice. But the longer she spent in the music industry, the more disillusioned she became by the darkness she witnessed all around her. 

“ 'It’s darker than most people could ever imagine,” Fontana told The Christian Post. “If you look at the content of the lyrics of the songs that are played on the radio, it’s unbelievably immoral and dark and anti-Jesus. When I started to see the sheer percentage of songs and videos that were leaning heavily in that direction I came to recognize that it could not be an accident. People in very powerful positions are backing it; there are gatekeepers who are wanting this content that we hear now to be prevalent in our society.”

“ 'It’s akin to poisoning our community, and our kids are drinking from a very, very, very destructive cup,” she said. “I saw the effect on kids as I worked in the city, and that effect is spreading. LA is the communication center for this planet; when you go to other countries, you still see content made in Los Angeles. It became a really heavy responsibility.”. . .

. . . "Discouraged, Fontana stopped writing and singing. But at the end of 2017, something changed. Though “spiritual, but not religious” for many years, she felt compelled to truly read the Bible, asking God to show her truth. 

“ 'After about a year of really wrestling, I really did commit my life finally, to Christ, and just kind of lay it all down. At that point, I started praying for God to show me how to use the gifts He had given me to glorify Him.” . . .

. . . "Eager to obey God’s calling on her life, Fontana recorded her debut worship album, titled Refuge, named after the first song God spoke into her life." . . . 

Kira speaks about her transformation:   "Wanted to share some of the story behind my upcoming album "Refuge", my faith journey and my testimony. I hope it inspires you! 💕 To stay updated on new music, please subscribe to my channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/KiraFont..."
