Brevard County School District, held a heated meeting Thursday that offered an unvarnished and often disturbing glimpse into the state of its classrooms. “On an everyday basis I am being attacked, scratched, headbutted, pushed, hit,” teacher Alicia Kelderhouse said. “I’ve had my hair pulled. I’ve had my throat gone for on multiple occasions.” One teacher said her kids look at their devices “hundreds” of times each day and keep their earbuds in while lessons are in progress. “Our students cannot look away from their phones,” she said. “They cannot stop texting.” Ivey said classrooms have descended into chaos because kids...

What is a quitter? Mike Richards — the recently announced new host of “Jeopardy!” — has already bailed on the gig amid ongoing controversy about his problematic history of sexist language and lawsuits. He announced his departure in a bombshell memo dropped Friday on the beloved game show’s production staff. “[Sony Pictures Television] will now resume the search for a permanent syndicated host,” Richards, 46, revealed in the resignation letter. “In the meantime, we will be bringing back guest hosts to continue production for the new season, details of which will be announced next week.” A spokesperson for Sony TV...

Olympic hammer thrower Gwen Berry repeated the claim that the American national anthem is racist and “disrespects” black people as she defended her act of turning her back as the anthem was played at last week’s Olympic trials. Appearing on the Black News Channel, Berry insisted that she is wholly justified in her hate for the national anthem because it contains racist lyrics.

Jill Biden gave National Guard troops chocolate chip cookies on Friday in a shameless photo op. The Biden Admin banished 5,000 troops to a cold parking garage in the dead of winter so Jill Biden is out doing some damage control while senile Joe hides. "I just wanted to come today to say thank you to all of you for keeping me and my family safe … The White House baked you some chocolate chip cookies,” Jill Biden said.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo and President Trump have found one thing they can agree on. The governor took aim at members of the media for taking on a “nastier tone” and openly disrespecting the president at press conferences. “The way they question President Trump at some of these press conferences is just — I’ve never heard that tone with the president,” the New York governor told WAMC host Alan Chartock on Monday. When Chartock countered with, “Well, he deserves it, doesn’t he?” Cuomo doubled down.

An 11-year-old Tennessee girl who told her classmates to stop making the Nazi salute was sent to the principal’s office, her father said in a tweet in which he asked the public to send her messages of support. Keith Jacks Gamble, chair of the Department of Economics and Finance at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreeboro, Tennessee, posted his request on Tuesday. Gamble said that a student at his daughter’s McFadden School of Excellence in Murfreesboro was assigned to play Hitler for the school’s Living History project and to make the Sieg Heil salute. After students started to make the...

Watching the military lately is like watching an Evil Knievel 20 bus jump gone wrong; a Wide World of Sports skier careen into a throng of spectators; an out of control freight train laden with deadly chemicals, ready to derail that no one seems to have the ability to stop. The merde is indeed hitting the ventilateur in the bowels of the Pentagon and across the world at US military bases and on US ships of war. It’s safe to say that in the US military, the thrill of victory is long gone and the agony of defeat is here...

More optics he doesn’t get? From the official White House Instagram feed:

A cranky Florida teenager, upset over getting arrested for drug possession, lashed out at a Miami judge during her bond hearing Monday, flipping him the bird and earning a 30-day sentence for contempt in the process. Penelope Soto, who had been arrested for having Xanax and was charged with possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, was brought before Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge Jorge Rodriguez-Chomat on Monday. The stern jurist asked the 18-year-old Soto, who was wearing an orange jail jumpsuit, about her assets, probing into how much her jewelry was worth, according to NBCMiami.com. Soto, who had been...

As class warfare dawns, it's the 'haves' vs the 'have nots'- class that is... and this untrained slob hasn't a speck of it: Uh, btw that's The Resolute Desk you're resting your filthy  clod-hoppers on... show some respect for once in your life! More news/views/humor at Reaganite Republican

Folks, I stumbled upon this article published by the BBC. I invite you to read it. I won't republish it due to its prurient subject matter, and out of a sense of decorum and respect for Our Lord, His Mother, and his earthly father, Joseph. Read it carefully and then contact this "church" here and let them know what you think. This is what I told Glynn Cardy, the pastor:Dear Reverend Cardy: I've just read a news report published in the BBC website about your billboard distorting the meaning of Christ's virginal conception and mangling the marriage and family life...

Biblical Sex Row Over Explicit Illustrated Book of Genesis A sexually explicit illustrated Book of Genesis by controversial artist Robert Crumb, which features Bible characters having intercourse, has been condemned by religious groups.

President-elect Barack Obama's swearing-in could be a boon for Said Rangbar, among hundreds of people hoping to cash in on Inauguration Day. The Washington street hot dog stand vendor plans to stock up his cart with food and drinks for the throngs of people expected to pack the nation's capital for Obama's swearing-in. He's among dozens who have applied for a limited number of vending spaces in a D.C. government lottery and some are already grumbling about the scheduling of the lottery. Each space is only 10 feet by 10 feet, but carries the promise of a big payback. "I...

It is difficult to screw up an appearance at Ground Zero on September 11th. You have to be either completely oblivious or completely indifferent. It is a signal feat of idiocy. And yet Barack Obama accomplished it. John McCain and Obama visited Ground Zero together. Obama and McCain entered the site. But while McCain took the time to shake hands with uniformed firefighters and a construction worker with an American flag helmet, Obama ignored them and stood around. But he wasn’t done yet. Both McCain and Obama brought roses to place on the makeshift 9/11 memorial. Obama casually tossed his...

Like many teenagers, President Bush dashed off to Cancun for spring break. Protected by a long and impenetrable fence and plenty of security guards, he met privately with the Mexican president and wealthy CEOs from both countries. Bush should have gone to the Arizona border where American citizens really need a fence to protect themselves, their children, their animals and their property from the hundreds of illegal aliens who tramp across their land every night. Bush thus gave the back of his hand to the 88 percent of Republican House Members who voted to secure our borders against the invasion...

COOL FACTS ABOUT DICK CHENEY [Jonah Goldberg ] At Ace of Spades. http://ace.mu.nu/archives/140208.php Note: Much R-Ratedness and salty humor.

If the E.U. ordered Islam and Muhammad to henceforth be spelled with a lower case “i” and a lower case “m”, Muslims would riot, people would die, and the U.N. would pass a resolution condemning Islamophobia. Creating grammar rules dictating that Christ, Jew, and Judaism be spelled with lower case letters, however, will be met with silence. Christophobia is totally acceptable in the new age of the Caliphate. Since Muslims hate Christians and Jews, it’s actually a form of tolerance to avoid offending Islam by showing any respect for other religions. Is it just me, or are things really going...

Have two pics here. Wasn't sure which one looked better so, posted both... one has a little shine on her face and the gun is a different color... I hope this makes up for the King Arthur one I make with Barbara Bush, some people said they like Jenna better. :D
