Education is broken. In California it is disgusting.
California schools weigh using COVID relief for teacher bonuses — or trip to Hawaii
“…Some California school districts are weighing using COVID-19 relief funds for faculty bonuses — with one teacher’s association joking that the money be put towards a trip to Hawaii, internal memos revealed.
The memos, which were shared by the group Reopen California Schools, show several districts discussing how to allocate state and federal relief payments intended to help them return to in-person classes.
“I’ve been inundated with reports of school districts spending state and federal COVID relief money on substantial one-time bonuses to teachers and administrators instead of spending them on getting kids back in classrooms or to curb learning loss,” the group wrote on Twitter.
One leaked email obtained by the group revealed that a committee at Clovis Unified School District reportedly discussed giving out $6,000 bonuses.
The district reportedly suggested using relief funds to give “one-time payment to employees … given the extraordinary effort required of every employee over the course of the pandemic.”…”
Democrats politicize everything. Military now used as political prop.
Guam National Guard Chief: Our Soldiers Are “Non-Partisan” Despite Marching In Protest On Republican Rep’s Office
“…Soldiers marched in uniform on office of Marjorie Taylor Greene protesting her inaccurately describing Guam as not part of America. She responded: “The Democrats need to stop using them as political theatre and drama on Capitol Hill.”…”

Teachers Compile List Of Parents Who Question Racial Curriculum, Plot War On Them
“Infiltrate… shut down their websites… expose these people publicly”
“…A group of current and former teachers and others in Loudoun County, Virginia, compiled a lengthy list of parents suspected of disagreeing with school system actions, including its teaching of controversial racial concepts — with a stated purpose in part to “infiltrate,” use “hackers” to silence parents’ communications, and “expose these people publicly.”
Members of a 624-member private Facebook group called “Anti-Racist Parents of Loudoun County” named parents and plotted fundraising and other offline work. Some used pseudonyms, but The Daily Wire has identified them as a who’s who of the affluent jurisdiction outside D.C., including school staff and elected officials.
The sheriff’s criminal investigations division is reviewing the matter — but the group’s activities might be no surprise to top law enforcement because the county’s prosecutor, narrowly elected with the help of $845,000 in cash from George Soros, appears to be a member of the Facebook group.
Secret communications reviewed by The Daily Wire do not offer any evidence of racism by the group’s targets, or even attempt to. Their opponents were apparently those who objected to, sought to debate, or were even simply “neutral” about “critical race theory,” a radical philosophy opposed by many liberals and conservatives but increasingly embraced by governments.
In recent years, Loudoun’s school system has flooded its curricula and policies with racial rhetoric, paying about $500,000 to one racial consulting company alone. It required all staff to undergo “Equity in the Center” training that promoted a sense of injustice and urgency…”
Modern “journalism”
Trump Slump Forces CNN to Make Tucker Carlson Its Current Hate Object
“…For four years, far-left CNN was able to keep its humiliating ratings from getting any more humiliating by launching relentless hate-jihads against former President Trump. But now that Trump is gone, CNNLOL’s ratings have taken a major dive, so the Woke Gestapo over there –Don Lemon, Brian Stelter, Jake Tapper, Jon Berman, April Ryan, Chris Cuomo, etc., — are hoping the Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson can take Trump’s place as a hate object and ratings booster.
Although CNNLOL was never able to attract more than about one-half of one percent of the American population during the Trump era, that was enough to keep the bottom from falling out of its ratings. The million or so Americans foaming at the mouth to hate Trump and desperate for a fix, always knew CNNLOL could reliably be counted on to deliver. To these hate-junkies, truth didn’t matter. Accuracy didn’t matter. Facts and basic human decency didn’t matter. They wanted hate, and CNNLOL served it up in buckets…”
Get woke, go broke.
Grammys Shed 10 Million Viewers From Last Year, Set New Low
“…Sunday’s Grammys settled for 8.8 million total viewers across multiple platforms. That tally is down a full 10 million viewers from last year’s telecast (18.8 million total viewers), and basically halves the annual CBS awards show’s previous record-low audience (16.9 million total viewers back in 2006).
Last night’s primetime special, hosted by “The Daily Show’s” Trevor Noah (pictured above) had a 2.1 rating among adults 18-49, according to Nielsen. The prior low was set last year, when the Grammy Awards received a 5.4 rating in the key demo…”
A headline for our times. We live in the age of stupid.
Democrats politicize U.S. military. They have destroyed education, now they have their sights on the last uncorrupted agency in the government.
Congressman Brings National Guard To Confront Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Over Guam Status Gaffe
“…Uniformed National Guard engaging in a political protest directed at a Congressman, in the halls of the Capitol no less, is another sign the military is being politicized…
…In a totally inappropriate move, Guam Congressman Michael San Nicolas, who is under an ethics investigation, led a group of Guam National Guard in uniform to Greene’s office to confront her. She wasn’t there at the time, but the visual of military-fatigued National Guard engaging in a political protest directed at a Congressman, in the halls of the Capitol no less, was another sign that the military is losing its bearing in the age of Biden.
Here is the video, posted by The Hill:

After the attacks by official military Twitter accounts and officials on Tucker Carlson for his criticism of military wokeness, this stunt of using the National Guard to confront a Congressman is another sign of how politicized the military is becoming in the service of Democrats…”
Journalism – It is a disgusting joke
The Washington Post’s Fake Trump Quote Scandal Is a Lot Worse Than You Think
“…The media conspiracy against Trump became a lot more serious on Monday when the Washington Post retracted its January story claiming that President Donald Trump had pressured Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find the fraud” in the 2020 election and said that he’d be a “national hero” if he did.
A recording of the call definitively proved that the quotes cited by the Washington Post, and then parroted by other outlets, were never actually said by the president at all.
But, as Becket Adams explains at the Washington Examiner, “the Washington Post’s dud of a ‘bombshell’ isn’t even the most scandalous thing about this episode in media malfeasance.”
The most scandalous thing, Adams, argues, is that several different newsrooms “claimed they independently ‘confirmed’ the original ‘scoop’ with anonymous sources of their own.”
NBC News reported it “confirmed The Post’s characterization of the Dec. 23 call through a source familiar with the conversation.”
USA Today claimed a “Georgia official speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal matters confirmed the details of the call.”
ABC News reported: “President Donald Trump phoned a chief investigator in Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s office asking the official to ‘find the fraud’ and telling this person they would be a ‘national hero’ for it, an individual familiar with the matter confirmed to ABC News.”
PBS NewsHour and CNN likewise appeared to claim they independently “confirmed” the story through their own anonymous sources.
The Washington Post claimed its quotes were confirmed by an anonymous source, and at least five major news outlets claimed to independently confirm that Trump said things he never said. “The most likely scenario is ABC, the Washington Post, and others talked to the same person or group,” theorizes Adams. “It’s either that or a bunch of people managed somehow to be wrong about a very specific claim, which is highly unlikely.”…”

Democrats choose insanity as public policy, it doesn’t work well.
This is a dangerous trend last seen in the 1850’s
It’s time for Red States to copy Blue States and start nullifying federal laws
You remember what happened in the 1860’s?
Democrats cheat, lie, steal, smear, anything and everything to gain power

Another headline for our time – The age of stupid – Mask wearing edition
NBC: Wear A Mask While Exercising And Showering. Maybe Even Two
Capitalizing on people’s fear and impulse to control others, NBC offers suggestions that take absurd CDC guidelines and crank them up to a zany extreme.
I know firsthand of the self-appointed mask police who wander our neighborhood looking for mask scofflaws. I know also of the terminal CNN/MSNBC watchers who vigorously adjust their masks and body coverings as an unmasked person approaches. They are scared to death that Covid is hiding behind a tree or falling out of the sky like rain. If they speak to me about my unmasked appearance, I send them on their way with something like a flea in their ear.
These people are like East Germans or Russians reporting their neighbors to the Stasi. This is America, I have no patience for these weak-minded fools.
“Anti-racist” is the face of racism in America today. Anti-white, anti-Asian, anti-Semitic racism, so it’s okay.
UF spends 38k on ‘anti-racist’ training that discourages ‘All Lives Matter’
-
- Students at the University of Florida are being asked to complete a new diversity training.
- While a university official told Campus Reform that the training is not a requirement for students to complete, an email sent to students does list a due date to complete it.
- The new diversity training cost the university $38,000 to implement.
