American Preschools Go North Korean - Victory Girls Blog

"Creepy Joe Biden promoted “Universal Preschool” at his State of Confusion speech February 7th and now comes disturbing evidence on how teachers are to treat those three- and four-year-olds.

Kim Jung-un would be proud.

In October, the North Carolina Association for the Education of Young Children hosted a conference for child care professionals to complete the mandatory training hours needed to remain licensed in the state. Attendees were required to watch Reflecting on Anti-bias Education in Action: The Early Years, a documentary that follows teachers at two West Coast preschools as they drill their young pupils in a number of “woke” subjects.

At about the 1:30 mark the *teachers* are all remarking how absolutely wonderful the brainwashing has become so embedded that one preschooler spontaneously piped up “non-binary” after the teacher was already trying to get the kids to “let go” of the concept of boys and girls...

Destroying an entire generation!

Media reports his lie as fact, then moves on. -----The CBO Exposes Biden’s $5.45 Trillion Lie

The CBO Exposes Biden’s $5.45 Trillion Lie - I & I Editorial Board
"...During his State of the Union speech last week, Biden not only claimed that “my administration has cut the deficit by more than $1.7 trillion — the largest deficit reduction in American history,” he also claimed that he’s a miser compared to Donald Trump.
“Under the previous administration, the American deficit went up four years in a row. … Nearly 25% of the entire national debt that took over 200 years to accumulate was added by just one administration alone — the last one, he said.
“They’re the facts. Check it out. Check it out.”
Well, we checked it out. 
And it is perhaps the most flagrant of all Biden’s lies. 
  • The evidence shows that Biden is, in fact, the most fiscally reckless president in history.
Days after Biden’s speech, the CBO released its latest 10-year forecast for the federal budget
What it reveals is that Biden sharply increased the deficit last year, this year, and next year, and he has set the country on course to add a total of $5.45 trillion to the federal deficit over the following decade.
  • How do we know this? Because two years ago, when the CBO released its 2021 budget forecast, it did so before any of Biden’s policies had been enacted. That report assumed that the laws in place at the end of President Donald Trump’s term remained in effect for the next decade. So, it serves as a baseline against which we can measure the impact of Biden’s policies.
Here’s what the numbers show...

Tragedy Discussion - Politics Allowed with limits

"Personally there is something fundamentally wrong with society when I can walk into a gun show / store/ shop, buy a fire arm and walk out. Not just some fire arm. I can buy an AR15 and multiple rounds. 

The 2nd amendment is ancient and meant for times when we used to load up a musket to shoot someone. We need to adapt to the guns of today. 

I get the mental health discussion. I want there to be mental health support and especially after Covid a lot of people need help in that category. But that doesn’t change the fact that I can go (mental health issues or not) and quickly get a gun."

And they still hate pipelines?

Teacher fired for refusing to conceal students' gender transitions from parents: 'I realized that I couldn't be a Christian and a teacher' - TheBlaze

A California school recently fired a Christian teacher after she refused to comply with the district's policies that required her to conceal students' gender transitions from parents, Fox News Digital reported. Jessica Tapia, a former physical education teacher who worked at the Jurupa Unified School District in Jurupa Valley, California, informed the district that because of her religious beliefs, she would not be able to lie or withhold information regarding the wellbeing of children from their parents.

Bombshells, Landmines, and Nemesis - Victor Davis Hanson
  • Ironically Joe Biden, the media, and the old House majority have provided Republicans the same tools to discover the truth that the Left had once used to destroy it.
For much of 2017 through 2021, Americans suffered the 
  • “bombshell” and “walls are closing” mythologies first of Russian collusion
  • then of supposedly vast Russian social media investments to sabotage the election.
  • From there we moved on to the Alfa Bank ping-pong fable, 
  • the supposed Putin bounties on U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan that Trump was said to have ignored and, of course, 
  • the idea that Hunter’s laptop was just “Russian disinformation.”
These were journalistic sins of commission, warping the news cycle to advance ideological agendas and win elections. 
There emerged, however, other real landmines of omission—things the media deliberately ignores, but have the potential to go off and blow up a presidency.

John Kirby uses Chinese spy balloon incident to take shot at Trump, boost Biden. But here's what a top general said. - TheBlaze

What the Ohio Train Derailment Says About the Dark Side of Plastics
(Bloomberg) -- A Norfolk Southern Corp. train carrying hazardous materials derailed in fiery fashion on the night of Feb. 3 in East Palestine, Ohio.
...The disaster highlights the dangers of the world’s growing reliance on plastics, which two key chemicals of concern — vinyl chloride and butyl acrylate — are used to make.
“This tragedy reminds us we have to pay attention not to just what happens to plastic when you are done with it, but the whole life cycle of using massive amounts of toxic chemicals that have to be transported all over the world to make plastic products,” says Judith Enck, a former administrator at the US Environmental Protection Agency during the Obama administration and now an advocate against plastic pollution...

It has come to this...WSJ suggests skipping breakfast to save money - DAVID STROM
  • Pretty sure the suggestion was tongue in cheek, but in the days when the powers-that-be think you should be eating bugs to save the planet, it’s difficult to be sure.

The suggestion–sarcastic or serious–comes after the latest inflation report which was not exactly good news for your pocketbook. 
Despite dramatic rate hikes by the Federal Reserve and the tremendous “success” of the Inflation Reduction Act (which is, ironically, destroying your IRA), the price of breakfast foods continues to skyrocket.
