SHOCK! Most in republican states. Who'd of thunk?!!---2015’s Best & Worst Run Cities in America

2015’s Best & Worst Run Cities in America | WalletHub®:

"Like Rome, no great city is built in a day. Economics and leadership play key roles in shaping the foundation of an ideal metropolis.
The best cities often turn out to be ones that most efficiently spend their public resources in order to satisfy the needs and priorities of most — if not all — members of the community.
 In recent years, total debt for local governments has increased, underscoring the importance for cities to spend wisely within their means. "

Beck Highlights Alarming Parallels Between Present-Day Russia and Germany Pre-World War II | Video | TheBlaze.com:

"Glenn Beck has made no secret of his belief that the world is headed for World War III, and recently released a video highlighting the similarities between present-day Russia and Germany just before World War II. He said the two countries have followed the same “fascist playbook.”

“The escalating violent military conflict between Russia and Ukraine is deeply troubling, but it’s also deeply familiar,” Beck said. “The last time the world saw military aggression like this, it ended in global war and tens of millions dead. The similarities between now and then are striking.”

High School AP History Guide Calls Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas A Member of the Ku Klux Klan

High School AP History Guide Calls Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas A Member of the Ku Klux Klan | John Hawkins' Right Wing News
In yet another example of how the extreme, un-American, hate-filled left has fully taken over our system of miseducation, an advanced placement history guide has been found claiming that African American Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is in the same class as the Ku Klux Klan.
It’s an example of how our school system needs to be torn down and rebuilt as an American institution instead of the left-wing indoctrination center it is now.
Eric Owens has the story today
The latest version of a top-selling study guide for the Advanced Placement European History exam explains the French Revolution with a chart which identifies Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as a fascist and pairs him with the Ku Klux Klan.
“Barron’s AP European History” (7th edition) makes the claim, intended for consumption by American high school students, on page 168. The chart attempts to compare modern American political affiliations with the various factions involved in the French Revolution.
The chart moves politically from left to right.
The far right of the chart is labeled “fascist.” The authors demonstrate modern-day “fascists” by pairing “Clarence Thomas and the KKK” in the same box.
Here are some photos of the guide showing the section Owens reported about:
Sadly we can blame ourselves for the failure that our schools have become. 
For nearly 100 years we conservatives have totally ignored our schools abandoning them to the far, far left that has had designs to destroy America one student at a time since the turn of the 1900s.
It’s no wonder we’ve lost America since every year kids are disgorged by the millions from schools as good little anti-American socialists and attend schools where they never even hear a pro-American word.
We can’t start turning this society around until we re-invest conservatism in our schools and begin to teach why America is great to our kids.

Dems propose a new federal agency: The Department of Peacebuilding | TheBlaze.com

Dems propose a new federal agency: The Department of Peacebuilding | TheBlaze.com:

"As a result, the bill would set up a new department that would be “dedicated to peacebuilding, peacemaking, and the study and promotion of conditions conducive to both domestic and international peace and a culture of peace.”

The secretary of peacebuilding’s mission would be to “cultivate peace and peacebuilding as a strategic national policy objective.” He or she would have to address both domestic and international violence by monitoring conflicts and recommending ways to end them, addressing family violence, violence against women, and reducing prison recidivism rates.

The bill would also require a study on how firearms are contributing to violence. It would have the department employ “successful, field-tested programs, and developing new approaches for dealing with the tools of violence, including handguns, especially among youth.”
