The National Education Association, the country’s largest teachers’ union, voted this week to conduct opposition research on groups that oppose the use of critical race theory in school curricula. During its virtual representative assembly this week, the NEA adopted an amendment that would see the union spend an estimated $56,500 on researching anti-CRT organizations. “NEA will research the organizations attacking educators doing anti-racist work and/or use the research already done and put together a list of resources and recommendations for state affiliates, locals, and individual educators to utilize when they are attacked,” the newly adopted business item reads. “The research,...

If you wanted to find the group getting the rawest deal in 2021 America, you might start with small-business owners. Many are finding themselves working 60- or 80-hour weeks just to scrape by. During the height of COVID-19, these companies were especially beaten down. Between Jan. 1, 2020, and Dec. 31, 2020, about 30 percent of U.S. small businesses closed, while total small-business revenue decreased by 31 percent, according to Economic Tracker. During the same period, the stock market boomed, and multinational corporations continued to thrive. The effects of this economic destruction are apparent in communities all over the country....

It's increasingly clear that traditional school subjects are dripping with racism, white supremacy, and the patriarchy. We need to toss those problematic subjects and replace them with things that are woke, inclusive, and a whole lot more fun. Here are nine problematic school subjects and what we should replace them with: Replace Math with Advanced Oppression Score Calculation -- Instead of adding up racist numbers, add up intersectional numbers to see how oppressed you are. Much more inclusive! Replace Gym with Anti-Fatphobic Body-Positive Words of Affirmation Training - Everyone will just sit in a room and whisper words of positivity...

President Obama's attorney general, Eric Holder, while in office, said the United States is "a nation of cowards" when it comes to race relations. He went on to say that, although there have been improvements in race relations, our country is still socially segregated. It was kind of odd to hear that from our country's first black A.G., appointed by our first black president. After all, tens of millions of whites voted for Obama against his opponent, John McCain, a white guy. Therefore, if more than half the nation wanted to be represented by a black man, wouldn't that indicate...

Watch: Bill Maher absolutely destroys the prevailing anti-Israel narrative, calling out the hypocrisy of Instagram celebs like Bella Hadid, “Bella Hadid and her friends would run screaming to Tel Aviv if they had to live in Gaza for one day.”

My local Planning Commission does not like a 6x4 sign saying simply, "Trump 2020". They have declared it a "political sign" and must come down, though my feelings are simply admiration for the man and his works.

The leader of a Pentagon working group overseeing efforts to root out domestic extremists in the military tweeted in 2019 that any supporter of former President Donald Trump unequivocally supports extremism and racism.“Support for him, a racist, is support for ALL his beliefs,” Bishop Garrison, who was appointed by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin to lead the Countering Extremism Working Group (CEWG), tweeted in July 2019 in reference to Trump.“He’s dragging a lot of bad actors (misogynist, extremists, other racists) out into the light, normalizing their actions,” Garrison, an Army veteran, tweeted. “If you support the President, you support that.”

Here in America, when viewed from a 35,000 foot perspective, we have to look like the inside of an insane asylum regarding the current ‘mask war’ battle taking place at the moment. None of it is based on any kind of hard science at all, but rather on feelings, class status and a firm desire to control the very thoughts of other people. On Thursday, pretend president Joe Biden issued a cryptic threat via Twitter, telling people “The rule is now simple: get vaccinated or wear a mask until you do. The choice is yours.” Yet, at the exact same...

Judicial Watch Sues for Pentagon Communications about Tucker Carlson, Fox News Illegal Immigration Overwhelms Sheriffs; Families Exposed to Gang Violence Maxine Waters and Congressional Special Security Demands Puts Americans at Risk Judicial Watch Sues for Pentagon Communications about Tucker Carlson, Fox News As Joe Biden and his handlers remake the federal government in their own image they are clumsily tripping over the U.S. Constitution. Consider the Pentagon and Tucker Carlson of Fox News. In the March 9, 2021, broadcast of “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Carlson said , in criticizing a “woke” public relations push by the military: So we’ve got...

Michelle Obama appeared on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” Tuesday, where she opened up about her low-grade depression and how she overcame it during a pandemic and racial strife. “For me, it's turning off the noise that is upsetting, you know, that I can't keep reading all the feeds that are fueling my anxiety and taking a break from it,” Obama said. “I surround myself with things that make me feel good -- family, friends, walks, exercise.” Obama also revealed she has talked to her children about depression and hopes that they understand life isn’t all Beyoncé hugs. “When...

Biden 'has replaced in-person meetings with video calls. He allows only a limited number of people in the building...He doesn’t leave the White House often…. He isn’t planning any foreign or domestic trips.'78-year-old President Joe Biden is nowhere to be seen, aside from sporadic television appearances through a black mask the size of a Rawlings baseball mitt, or appearing to be on the verge of collapse from dehydration in social media videos. On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki announced Biden’s name will not appear on the $1,400 COVID-19 stimulus direct payments being sent out to millions of Americans...

Hong Kong’s descent started in 1997 when the Chinese Communist Party took over the city from the British government. Since then, for more than two decades, Hongkongers have witnessed the CCP’s gradual erosion of their freedoms. The pandemic presented the CCP a perfect opportunity to accelerate its control of the city and its 7.5 million residents.Last summer, Beijing imposed a draconian National Security Law on Hong Kong, bypassing Hong Kong’s local legislature. Dennis Kwok, a pro-democracy legislator in Hong Kong, said Beijing’s action “basically means the end of ‘One Country, Two Systems.'” Hong Kongers and the rest of the world...

Unfortunately, faculty and staff members in Jefferson County, WV just found out that it doesn’t matter if the voters in that county voted overwhelmingly to reelect President Trump, all it takes to put your livelihood in jeopardy is to have a bigoted and fascist school superintendent who is completely ignorant of the provisions in the US Constitution. These educators are now in jeopardy of losing their jobs. Nearly 30 teachers in Jefferson County, West Virginia that attended the rally at the Capitol in Washington DC on Wednesday are now being threatened with termination. A letter was sent to the teachers...

As my listeners and readers can hopefully attest, I have been on a lifelong quest to understand human nature and human behavior. I am sad to report that I have learned more in the last few years, particularly in 2020, than in any equivalent period of time. One of the biggest revelations concerns a question that has always plagued me: How does one explain the "good German," the term used to describe the average, presumably decent German, who did nothing to hurt Jews but also did nothing to help them and did nothing to undermine the Nazi regime? The same...

“I don’t know if the world has ever seen anything like this. A bunch of people who live lives of freedom and relative luxury choosing to destroy their country because they’ve convinced themselves that they are the victims of a completely imaginary oppression.” -Matt Walsh on Imaginary Oppression I think this quote by Matt Walsh on imaginary oppression, like the Matt Walsh quote on leftism, is spot on. The Americans that are protesting and rioting right now aren’t protesting anything real. No oppressive force is ruining their lives, whether they’re white or black. They live lives of luxury, freedom, and...

If Democrats didn’t cheat, then why haven’t they tried to prosecute the thousands of witnesses who lied on their sworn affidavits?This seven minute video is from the Blue Collar Logic channel at YouTube. The speaker is named Jason, and he is a Trump supporter. In beginning of the video, Jason shows some of the footage from the Georgia polling place where they continued counting ballots after everyone else had gone home.At 3:27, Jason says:“In this case, these two Republican poll watchers swore in affidavits that the lady running the polling place announced that ballot counting had finished for the night,...

WASHINGTON (RNS) — A Democratic group dedicated to representing secular values unveiled a slate of recommendations for President-elect Joe Biden’s incoming administration on Monday (Nov. 30), outlining a sweeping agenda designed to roll back many of President Trump’s actions involving religion and to “restore a vision of constitutional secularism.” The 28-page document, crafted by the Secular Democrats of America PAC, is being presented to the incoming administration by Democratic Representatives Jamie Raskin and Jared Huffman — both co-chairs of the Congressional Freethought Caucus. The SDA’s agenda offers a wide range of policy recommendations to push back against the so-called “Christian...

This week, devout Catholic Joe Biden spoke with Pope Francis and says "I received both his blessing and congratulations on my landslide victory in the election." Biden described the Pope as "a cool guy. He totally understands the difference between matters of faith and matters of politics." "For instance, we both know that government promotion of abortion and suppression of religious activities is wrong from the perspective of the Catholic faith. But we both understand that in a democracy the majority's will prevails. Though I personally shed a tear for each child killed by abortion, as a leader of a...

This is an appropriate reminder considering the state of the Union. The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” – Thomas Jefferson “When a government betrays the people by amassing too much power and becoming tyrannical, the people have no choice but to exercise the original rights of self defense – to fight the government.” – Alexander Hamilton “The ultimate authority resides in the people, and that if the federal government got too powerful and overstepped its authority, then the people would develop plans of resistance and resort to arms.”...
