Just before the third chapter of “How I Became A Famous Novelist,” Steve Hely’s 2009 satirical novel lampooning the publishing industry, he includes a fake New York Times Best Seller list. The No. 4 Nonfiction slot goes to “Needs Improvement In All Areas,” an attack on President George W. Bush, written by his former kindergarten teacher.
That happened for real today when The New York Times broke the news that an administrator from Sen. Josh Hawley’s middle school disapproved of his politics.
Barbara Weibling is quoted condemning her former middle school charge. Left unsaid by The New York Times is that Barbara Weibling is a left-wing activist. She is a small but committed donor to Democrats, and a perusal of her Facebook page shows she’s not exactly an unbiased educator. Her avatar is a flattering portraiture of Vice President Kamala Harris in the foreground, with President Joe Biden in the background.
She posts about her strong dislike of Fox News (where this reporter is a contributor) and love of Russia collusion conspiracy theorist Rachel Maddow of MSNBC. She posts outlandish left-wing claims from a group called “Occupy Democrats.” In between the supportive posts of socialism, Bernie Sanders, and Biden are attacks on Republicans going back to Reagan, at least. Is it really news that her dislike of Republicans extends to a former student at her school?
As silly as the whole thing is, the Times’ Elaina Plott and Danny Hakim debased themselves further by — and I’m in no way joking here — asking Hawley’s high school prom date for her thoughts. His prom date. HIS PROM DATE.

When one’s opposition becomes this unhinged, one is doing something right.
The UniPartians in DC having another hissy, now that they’re getting called out by MAGA
Her avatar will bite the dust to make room for the One, who says "It is her destiny".
Sun Tsu. My modern translations from memory:
When your opponent is unhinged, annoy them.
When your opponent is infighting, don’t interfere.
When your opponent is settled, move them.

Mention Missouri to any NY Times employee and you’ll see a blank look...

The New York Times is worried about Josh Hawley.
That’s a very good sign for him.
Hawley studied history at Stanford University, and graduated in 2002 with a Bachelor of Arts degree with highest honors and Phi Beta Kappa membership. Hawley studied under Stanford professor David M. Kennedy, who later contributed the foreword to a book Hawley wrote, Theodore Roosevelt: Preacher of Righteousness. Kennedy said Hawley stood out in a school "which is overstuffed with overachieving and very talented young people," and has described Hawley as “arguably the most gifted student I taught in 50 years.”
After spending a year in London as a teacher at St Paul's School from 2002 to 2003, Hawley returned to the U.S. to attend Yale Law School, graduating in 2006 with a Juris Doctor degree. While at Yale, Hawley was an editor of the Yale Law Journal and served as president of the school's Federalist Society chapter.

THANK GOODNESS the (free) public schools that my kids go to would NEVER hire a woman like her. They check everyone to make sure they’re not liberals, because they know having liberals in the classroom would anger parents. So, maybe all of those ‘other schools’ have Leftists teaching the kids, but NOT our schools, as otherwise I would never send my kids there.
She has very juvenile, vulgar cartoons on her Facebook timeline. Love of vulgarity and scatology seems to be a trait of the left.
