This teacher really lays it out - it can’t get much worse.

Title-1 schools are on the free-breakfast and free-lunch program. - Herbert J. Baumann 
When I say free breakfast, I'm not talking about a glass of milk and a roll. 
But a full breakfast and cereal bar with fruits and juices that would make the Marriott proud. 
  • The waste of this food is monumental, with trays and trays of it being dumped in the trash uneaten. (Our tax dollars at work!)
  • I estimate that well over 50% of these students are obese or at least moderately overweight. About 75% or more have cell phones. 
  • The school also provides day care centers for the unwed teenage pregnant girls (some as young as 13) so they can attend class without the inconvenience of having to arrange for babysitters or having family watch their kids. (More of our tax dollars at work!)...
There is no such thing as "cheap labor."
Take, for example, an illegal alien with a wife and five children. 
He takes a job for $5.00 or $6.00/hour. 
At that wage, with six
dependents, he pays no income tax, yet at the end of the year, if he files an income tax return, he gets an "earned income credit" of up to $3,200, free.
Also....
1 He qualifies for Section-8 housing and subsidized rent;
2 He qualifies for food stamps;
3 He qualifies for free (no deductible, no co-pay) health care;
4 His children get free breakfasts and lunches at school;
6 He requires bilingual teachers and books;
7 He qualifies for relief from high energy bills;
8 If they are, or become aged, blind or disabled, they qualify for SSI;
9 Once qualified for SSI they can qualify for Medicare (All of this at taxpayer's {our} expense);
10 He doesn't worry about car insurance, life insurance, or
homeowner’s insurance;
11 Taxpayers provide Spanish language signs, bulletins and printed material;
12 He and his family receive the equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/hour
in benefits..
Cheap labor? Yeah right! Wake up people!...

Our "friend", Canada??!!

 


Opinion: Free Speech, Free Trade, and the English-Speaking Worldview - Illinois Review

Vice President Vance has informed British Prime Ministert Keir Starmer that fixing Great Britain’s outrageous constraints on free speech will be a requirement to achieve a trade agreement between the U.S.A. and the U.K. - John F. Di Leo 
But we hear voices of dissent. “That’s not what a trade agreement is supposed to address!” “These deals are supposed to be about goods and money and commodities and technology, not about philosophical questions!”...
The dissenters are right about one thing: these trade agreements usually aren’t about speech. 
They usually don’t get into this sort of thing.
But that doesn’t mean the usual way is right.
  • The Trump agenda, especially in this second term, has been all about stressing the fact that much of the way that governments have been doing business lately has been terribly wrong, and requires correction...

Trump Versus the Meteor | RealClearPolitics

A fiscal meteor is heading our way; everybody knows it.  - J. Peder Zane 
  • That speeding rock everyone can see is, of course, our national debt, which now stands at almost $37 trillion
  • We added $1.3 trillion to that total in the first half of the 2025 fiscal year...
At some point, this looming threat will become a wrecking ball, forcing huge cuts in the programs hundreds of millions of Americans count on. 
Those who decry the knife Trump is bringing to government jobs and services are only setting us up for the chainsaw tomorrow.
Pay me now, or pay me later – but pay me you will. 
  • This isn’t politics, it’s math.
Everybody knows this, but only Trump seems willing to do something about it...

How much they STOLE!

Mark Levin torches MSNBC for defending terrorist-supporter Mahmoud Khalil | Blaze Media

The liberal hacks who work there are specialists when it comes to “defense of the enemy,” he says. Their pearl clutching over the deportation of green card holder and Hamas-supporter Mahmoud Khalil is case and point.

Not only was Khalil a key leader in the pro-Hamas protests on Columbia’s campus, which involved vandalism and unrest, but he’s also a member of the group Columbia United Apartheid Divest — a vicious organization that supports terrorist events, including October 7, circulates Hamas propaganda, and calls for the total eradication of the West.

Zelenskyy rejects the foundation of the US-led peace plan, saying Ukraine will never accept the idea of Russia keeping Crimea.

Now, remember that Russia annexed Crimea a decade ago, in 2014... - John F. Di Leo
...back when Obama was in the White House. (and the West's idiotic response to that annexation is one of the things that led to the economic downturn that followed, as we started issuing idiotic sanctions on Russia that only hurt the USA and Europe, without hurting Russia at all).
We might not be surprised if Ukraine objects to some maps in which Russia takes part or all of the Donbas etc. 
But Crimea? 
  • They had Crimea eight years before the 2022 invasion!...

White House endorses COVID lab leak theory, but will anyone be held accountable? | Blaze Media

White House endorses COVID lab leak theory, but will anyone be held accountable? | Blaze Media

On April 18, the White House publicly endorsed the COVID lab leak theory. The government’s official COVID website was also redirected to a new page titled “Lab Leak: The True Origins of COVID-19,” which contends that the virus originated in a lab in Wuhan, China, and was leaked by accident.

The revamped site criticizes Anthony Fauci, David Morens, Andrew Cuomo, the WHO, EcoHealth Alliance, and the Biden administration, among others, for actively promoting false information and covering up the truth.

It cites five points to support the lab leak claim:

The Harsh Truth Race Hustlers Fear the Most

Yet another reasons no one can trust the experts

Students at some medical schools are encouraged to demonstrate “weight inclusivity,” which requires them to speak about obesity in neutral terms, rather than acknowledging its negative consequences. - Tom Knighton 
But then that same medical field of experts does stuff like this:
  • Of the medical schools Speech First investigated, 99 percent of them mandated commitments to racial justice ideology and 89 percent did so for gender ideology. 
  • Almost a third, 30 percent, required the promotion of “weight inclusivity.”
“Weight inclusivity” is a lesser known left-wing belief that obese people are victims of oppression whose condition should not be viewed as a serious medical issue...
This is part of their DEI effort, but while race and gender-based DEI is a problem, this is particularly stupid because obesity is so dangerous...

'Honey, I'm a woman': Mom says she, her 7-year-old girl saw naked male in YMCA female locker room who brushed off her protest | Blaze Media

Amother said she and her 7-year-old daughter encountered a naked male with his genitals exposed in a female locker room at a north Kansas City YMCA earlier this month, WDAF-TV reported.

The mother told the station that she and her daughter had just finished swimming lessons, where she estimates hundreds of children were present, and had entered the women’s locker room to change.

WHAT THOMAS SOWELL WARNED ABOUT IS FINALLY HAPPENING

We Are Witnessing A Major Turning Point In The History Of Humanity

According to Axios, the following are five things that Russia would get from President Trump’s seven point peace plan…
  1. “De jure” U.S. recognition of Russian control in Crimea.

  2. “De-facto recognition” of the Russia’s occupation of nearly all of Luhansk oblast and the occupied portions of Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia.

  3. A promise that Ukraine will not become a member of NATO. The text notes that Ukraine could become part of the European Union.

  4. The lifting of sanctions imposed since 2014.

  5. Enhanced economic cooperation with the U.S., particularly in the energy and industrial sectors.

And the following are four things that Ukraine would get from President Trump’s seven point peace plan…

  1. “A robust security guarantee” involving an ad hoc group of European countries and potentially also like-minded non-European countries. The document is vague in terms of how this peacekeeping operation would function and does not mention any U.S. participation.

  2. The return of the small part of Kharkiv oblast Russia has occupied.

  3. Unimpeded passage of the Dnieper River, which runs along the front line in parts of southern Ukraine.

  4. Compensation and assistance for rebuilding, though the document does not say where the funding will come from.

The plan that the Trump administration is proposing is reasonable...

Exclusive: Unreleased DOJ report indicates top Biden FBI official retaliated against underlings who testified against her | Blaze Media

It appears former FBI Assistant Director Jill Tyson's policy violations did not end with her workplace romance. The Oversight Project recently obtained an unreleased report from the Justice Department's Office of the Inspector General that appears to indicate that a top official in the Biden FBI retaliated against her underlings in response to their cooperation with an earlier OIG investigation that found misconduct revolving around her workplace affair.

OMG...MEASLES!!!

Al Gore compares Trump admin to Nazi Party while giving speech on climate change | Fox News
"I understand very well why it is wrong to compare Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich to any other movement," Gore said. "It was uniquely evil, full stop. I get it. But there are important lessons from the history of that emergent evil."

Gore then went on to cite what German philosophers had called their "moral autopsy" of Hitler’s Third Reich following the end of World War II...
"They say the climate crisis is a hoax invented by the Chinese to destroy American manufacturing," Gore said of the Trump administration. 
"They say coal is clean. 
They say wind turbines cause cancer. 
They say sea-level rise just creates more beachfront property."...

Biden got away with it!
