Garland Just Tipped Over the Dominos
American Greatness ^ | 9 Oct 2021 | Roger Kimball

Posted on 10/10/2021 6:25:30 AM PDT by Rummyfan

Parents across the country have suddenly woken up to the wokeness haunting their schools and poisoning the minds of their children.

Most parents don’t like that. They pay for the schools. The school board (in theory) works for them, and they, the parents, have been vocal in making their displeasure known. A left-wing lobbying group called the National School Boards Association complained to the Biden Administration that “Public Schoolchildren, Public School Board Members, and Other Public School District Officials and Educators” were subjected to “Threats and Acts of Violence” by parents whose actions “could be the equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes.” Note the surreal accusation that schoolchildren were being harmed by “threats and acts of violence,” which, if you look at the actual instances adduced, turn out to be people arguing against the insinuation of radical, politically charged ideas into the the curriculum.

Garland’s response was to threaten to unleash the law enforcement apparatus of the state against parents by forging a “Partnership among federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement to address threats against school administrators, board members, teachers and staff.” What threats?

When I first wrote about this, I was unaware that Garland’s daughter Rebecca is married to Xan Tanner, the founder and president of Panorama, a multimillion-dollar company that sells CRT and related ESG materials to schools around the country. File that in the folder marked “optics” if not the one labeled “conflict of interest.”

Another thing I didn’t know when I first wrote about this story was that the pas-de-deux between the National School Boards Association and the attorney general was not fortuitous. On the contrary, as the always interesting “Neo” reports, it was more in the way of being a coordinated effort...

We are ruled by corrupt thugs. Fortunately, they’re also incompetent.

Garlands son in law owns a company that pushes CRT in public schools and stands to make big bucks. “Panorama” something or other

First they tried saying the CRT wasn’t being taught in public schools and the concern was misplaced. Now they are just saying “we will do as we please” with the force of the government behind them. Yeah, people take notice of things like that.

Of course, the SIL’s connections were not noticed when Dr.Strangelove was confirmed.

“Upon information and belief, in or about mid-September work began on development of what became the Attorney General’s Memorandum. Concerns expressed by department staff included (1) the absence of federal law enforcement nexus and authority, and (2) the constitutionally protected nature of parent protests. However, Jane Doe #2 made it clear this was a White House priority and a deliverable would be created.”

We need to know who James Doe is

All part of the Democrats plans to divide and conquer ... just like the Covid-19 mask mandates.

Elections have consequences, especially stolen elections. Unfortunately, the sheeple do not recognize treason when it is biting them in the ass, daily.

Merrick Garland needs to resign for furthering his daughter’s and son in law’s trashy business of indoctrinating children with communist, racist lies. Just by itself, this is an unbelievable conflict of interest by the chief law enforcement officer of the US, who acted in venal concert with groups bringing the full force of federal police powers against the parents of school children, to stifle their First Amendment rights while protecting the Garland family business. Stand up, congressional Republicans and demand that Garland get his corrupt butt out of the Justice Dept. as fast as possible. Impeachment charges have been filed for far, far less and both Garland and DHS’ Mayorkas need to be the subject of them.

We dump on McConnell a lot, and deservedly so, but for him to stuff the nomination of Garland to the Supreme Court was a good move. What a disaster it would have been to have Garland sitting on the Court.

National government sector lobbying

Taxpayer-funded lobbying is government-to-government lobbying. Counties, cities, school districts, public facilities and associations of public employees can use public funds to influence legislation and appropriations at the state and federal levels.

The U.S. Conference of Mayors, for example, lobbied for what were called shovel-ready projects under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The U.S. Conference of Mayors specifically wanted the funds from the Act to go directly to cities, as opposed to being funneled through state governments.[1]

The following is a partial list of national government sector lobbying associations. These organizations are or have been partly or completely funded by tax dollars, either with direct payments from government treasuries or via employee reimbursement for professional association dues. They represent local and state governments from across the country, where state-specific associations only represent governments within that state.

Until their fellow rats are purged from holding the reins of higher office, it's not going

Biden henchman Garland’s daughter Rebecca is married to Xan Tanner, the founder and president of Panorama, a multimillion-dollar company that sells CRT and related ESG materials to schools around the country.

File that in the folder marked “gross conflict of interest.”

No different than corruption going with Hunter Biden, James Biden and the rest of the crime family running the government! The lack of ethics is astounding let alone the illegality of their actions.
