She went on to say that she found many Latina moms had been activated after being on the sidelines by their fear of socialism being introduced into the public schools.
"They’re disrupting the school board meetings and that is because in, they not only believe in these traditional values, but now their paranoia is that this idea of communism is infiltrating the classrooms and that is sort of the new Latina voter that I'm starting to see in Florida," Ramos explained.

Uvalde hero Border Patrol agent speaks out on 'complete chaos,' rushing in to save students | Fox News
"...Border Patrol agent Jacob Albarado was off duty, he told "The Ingraham Angle," as Uvalde lies about 80 miles from the Coahuila border town of Piedras Negras.
Albarado said he recently left an engagement to get his hair cut near the school, and recounted soon hearing word of the shooting from his wife, Trisha, a teacher at Robb — whom he later said narrowly escaped shooter Salvador Ramos.

- "There's an active shooter… Help… I love you," Trisha Albarado texted.
- Agent Albarado procured his barber's shotgun and raced on foot to the school.
"I just saw a whole bunch of kids running out, running off campus, jumping through the windows, cops breaking windows."
He described the scene as "complete chaos, pretty much," adding he was finally able to speak to his wife on the phone after she escaped her classroom and joined others who fled to a nearby funeral home..."

The president said that "the Second Amendment, like all other rights, is not absolute."
Biden said that the issue is not about eliminating people's rights, but rather about protecting people.

"“The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue"
A worthy read by a simple (albeit genius) FB friend.----"...A nation that asks nothing of government, but the maintenance of order is already a slave in the depths of its heart..."

“Every nation that has ended in tyranny has come to that end by way of good order.
“Every nation that has ended in tyranny has come to that end by way of good order.
It certainly does not follow from this that peoples should scorn public peace, but neither should they be satisfied with that and nothing more.
A nation that asks nothing of government, but the maintenance of order is already a slave in the depths of its heart; it is a slave of its well-being, ready for the man who will put it in chains.”

~ Alexis de Tocqueville
"As time passes, cultures exhibit stages of maturity – a defined lifecycle.
As times change and the old are replaced by the young, a culture progresses, and mores and attitudes change as the members and their perspectives change.
The maturity level of a given culture is often expressed by the maturity level of the younger demographic as it prepares to assume control of the culture.
The Greatest Generation enjoyed unparalleled prosperity in the post WWII years.
The Greatest Generation enjoyed unparalleled prosperity in the post WWII years.
This prosperity provided the opportunity to extend childhood through leisure opportunities afforded by that prosperity.
- Parents of this generation wanted better for their children, striving to create an easier life for the Baby Boomer kiddies, and as a result the Boomers grew up in an environment where they had and did more as they received the benefits of their parents’ success.
- Protected from the harshness their parents knew, Boomer children grew up in far less demanding circumstances; however, their resulting training as adults was incomplete.
- Where their parents worked as children to assist in family survival, Boomers worked after school jobs to pay for comic books or to buy things they wanted.
- Reaching adulthood, Boomers also sought to “make things better” for their kids to the point that they (and the culture they built) began to frown on children holding even a part-time job (even making it illegal in some circumstances), substituting “enrichment”, sports, or sloth for the lessons a job would teach their children..."

Millions of new faces in Biden's foreign-born boom
In a new analysis for the Center for Immigration Studies, my colleague Karen Zeigler and I show that the total foreign-born or immigrant population reached 47 million in April 2022 — the highest number ever in American history...
These numbers are extraordinary, not only because they indicate that America has lost control of its borders, but also because they raise profound questions about how many people the country can successfully integrate.

The laws and the rules FAILED! We don't need more of the same failure!-----Has Anyone Highlighted This Key Detail About the Texas Shooter's Background Check?
Has Anyone Highlighted This Key Detail About the Texas Shooter's Background Check?
- Ramos was known to be trouble. He got into fights, slashed his own face, told friends he hoped to join the military so he could kill people and posted multiple rape and death threats on the app Yubo...
"There were plenty of laws that could have stopped this kid, granted some need updating—but let’s talk about the background check.
What happened with this process?
If Ramos put his grandparents’ address on the 4473 form with the ATF, he would have been denied.
He should have been denied. His grandfather has a criminal record.
He admitted that he cannot be around firearms because of this, adding that if he had known Ramos had guns, he would have to inform the police (via NY Daily News):
So, what happened here?
The grandfather of the Texas teen who killed 21 people in an elementary school Tuesday said he can’t be around guns and would have reported that his grandson had two of them had he known...
So, what happened here?
Was this a background check failure?
It’s not the first time.
Dylann Roof, Devin Patrick Kelley, and Nikolas Cruz were all able to legally buy their weapons either due to severe clerical errors or authorities simply dropping the ball.
If that’s the case, then this whole narrative about expanding background checks has been delivered a massive blow.
The system is only as good as the people tasked with its maintenance..."
Lunch video-----Looking At The Sun
"Climate alarmists downplay or dismiss the role of the sun in climate change, attributing most or all of it to CO2 and to man-made CO2 at that.
But in this Climate Discussion Nexus "Backgrounder" video Dr. John Robson explains that a technical dispute about satellite readings of solar output since 1979 is of enormous importance here because if one side is right, temperature fluctuations over the last four decades correlate very closely with cycles in the sun's activity and if the other is, they're almost entirely unrelated.
And once again, the refusal of one side to admit there's a dispute, and to try to suppress evidence of it, tells you a lot about who's doing real climate "science".

Jamie Dimon's and Glenn Beck's economic warning - TheBlaze:
Glenn also warned that the looming financial crisis goes far beyond high prices. The far left is creating an "emergency" in nearly every sector of our society —an energy crisis, a food crisis, a climate crisis, a money crisis, a housing crisis, a crime crisis, and more — and it’s all part of its plan.
Does America not care about honest elections any more??-----The Fraud That Dare Not Speak Its Name
The Fraud That Dare Not Speak Its Name - Hans von Spakovsky / @HvonSpakovsky
In “2,000 Mules” (in which I am interviewed as an authority on election fraud), D’Souza relates the story of how True the Vote, an election integrity organization based in Texas, obtained and analyzed, at enormous expense, 10 trillion cellphone geotracking signals from the final weeks before the 2020 election.
True the Vote was able to isolate specific cellphones that traveled to the locations of the ballot drop boxes that liberals insisted had to be installed because of the COVID-19 epidemic.
...Of course, lots of ordinary voters did travel to drop boxes to drop off their ballots.
- Dinesh D’Souza’s new documentary "2,000 Mules" raises serious questions about possible skullduggery in the 2020 election, involving absentee ballots across multiple states.
- But neither the liberal media, nor election officials, nor law enforcement seem to have much interest in investigating that potential wrongdoing.
True the Vote was able to isolate specific cellphones that traveled to the locations of the ballot drop boxes that liberals insisted had to be installed because of the COVID-19 epidemic.
...Of course, lots of ordinary voters did travel to drop boxes to drop off their ballots.
Therefore, True the Vote isolated its search to cellphones whose owners appeared to visit more than 10 drop boxes, a very suspicious occurrence for which there does not seem to be a legitimate explanation.
These same cellphones repeatedly visited the addresses of the same five or more liberal nonprofit groups, although they are not named or identified in the documentary...
These same cellphones repeatedly visited the addresses of the same five or more liberal nonprofit groups, although they are not named or identified in the documentary...
- Who were these individuals, the so-called mules, and what were they doing?
- Where did they get these ballots?
- Why were they repeatedly going to absentee-ballot drop box locations?
- Were the ballots legitimately obtained, or were they fraudulent or stolen from voters, or were voters intimidated, pressured, or coerced to hand over their ballots?
- Who was paying them to engage in this behavior, particularly in states like Arizona where vote trafficking—having third parties pick up and deliver absentee ballots—is against the law?
D’Souza’s analysis indicates that the 2,000 mules were on average visiting 38 drop boxes, sometimes in the middle of the night, and often inserting multiple ballots.
Of course, enterprising reporters like the Miami Herald crew who helped the newspaper win a Pulitzer Prize could also use the documentary to try to identify and interview some of these mules and the staff at these nonprofits if they really wanted to get at the truth.
If we still had a healthy fourth estate in this country, that would be a great job for them.

But apparently there isn’t anyone left in mainstream journalism interested in the truth when it comes to election issues—just regime flunkies paid to criticize D’Souza, or anyone else who even broaches the topic."

- You can’t bully people to be brave or nag them into valor.

- Social-justice warriors and their eager media accomplices smear cops every day as racists and murderers. #ACAB (“All cops are bastards”) is their favorite hashtag.
- We pathologize manly virtues and bow to the tyranny of identity politics that seeks power by overthrowing a make-believe patriarchy.

The world may be careening toward a 1970s-style energy crisis-- or worse | CNN Business
"...Current and former energy officials tell CNN they worry that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in the wake of years of underinvestment in the energy sector have sent the world careening into a crisis that will rival or even exceed the oil crises of the 1970s and early 1980s.
“We’re not doing nearly enough to reduce hydrocarbon demand consistent with our climate goals,” said Bordoff.
...In March, the IEA also urged governments around the world to consider drastic steps to slash oil demand, including reducing speed limits on highways, working from home up to three days a week where possible and car-free Sundays in cities.
And there’s at least one other development that has been front-and-center lately and would ease the energy crisis: An economic recession, or at least one that’s deep enough to cause demand to collapse..."

- ...Today’s energy turmoil is not simply the result of the war in Ukraine. It is also the byproduct of cratering investment in oil and natural gas, which are depleting resources that require massive sums of money just to maintain their production, let alone increase it.
