Exposing the Garland Memo: A Case Study in Government Weaponized Against Parents

On October 4, 2021, the Attorney General of the United States issued a directive that would rattle the very foundation of American civil society.  - https://x.com/amuse

• Parents, concerned about their children’s education, found themselves recast not as civic participants but as potential threats to national security. 

According to a memo issued by AG Merrick Garland, the Justice Department would coordinate with the FBI and US Attorneys to address a supposed spike in threats against school board officials. 

• But the underlying claim was a fiction. 

And now, thanks to newly released internal DOJ documents obtained by America First Legal (AFL), we can say conclusively what many suspected at the time: the Biden administration orchestrated this memo as part of a political operation, driven not by law or evidence, but by ideology and electoral calculus...

It’s Hot Weather, But Not Man-Made - Steve Goreham

But a look at history shows that such high temperatures have been experienced many times in the past.
This week the United States experienced the first major heat wave of 2025. 

Over 160 million people in the Midwest, the South, and the East Coast experienced temperatures approaching 100 F. 

• Many in the media claim that the soaring temperatures are due to human-caused global warming...

Border Patrol Hits Jackpot in Raid on California Home Depot

Border Patrol Hits Jackpot in Raid on California Home Depot: 

“You would not want this man to be your neighbor,” McLaughlin told Fox News. “And yet politicians like [California Gov.] Gavin Newsom defend criminals who terrorize American communities.”

McLaughlin added, “He and every other sanctuary politician should be thanking CBP for getting this scum out of American communities.”

The NY Times Doesn't Understand 'Where Men Have Gone'

They've literally been handcuffing the airline industry to ancient and outdated airframes & engines so some people could continue to rake in the big $$$.

Trump's bringing it back. Did you see his Executive Order from earlier this year?  - Brian Cates@drawandstrike

There were prohibitions in place preventing anyone from continuing the development of civilian supersonic flights after the Concorde died out. 

• They deliberately limited it to allow ONLY the Concorde to survive, with NO innovation/upgrades allowed, and waited for it to die off. 

Which it did. 

So several decades now, tech advancement and innovation in this area has been ARTIFICIALLY SUPPRESSED. 

Until now.

Lawsuit Accuses Harvard of Protecting, Rewarding Violent Anti-Semites Who Attacked a Jewish Student

Lawsuit Accuses Harvard of Protecting, Rewarding Violent Anti-Semites Who Attacked a Jewish Student: 

Acting as a home for Hamas supporters isn’t working out so well for Harvard.

The once-revered university has already lost an all-too-woke president, the support of some financial backers, and the respect of sensible Americans for turning a blind eye to rampant anti-Semitism on its Boston campus.

Now it’s being accused in a bombshell lawsuit of actually rewarding the Jew haters in its ranks.

The mental illness that DEMANDS YOU get nuts too!

 

Tulsi Gabbard’s public disclosure as Director of National Intelligence is unprecedented and historic in nearly every dimension of American governance.

Never before has a sitting DNI directly accused former top intelligence officials—including her predecessors—of orchestrating a domestic disinformation campaign to subvert an incoming president. -Harriett Lublin

She did not leak anonymously, defer to internal channels, or await a closed-door investigation; instead,

she unveiled evidence from a pending investigation in a tightly structured public thread,

• complete with official documents, 
• internal communications, 
• and a direct handoff to the Department of Justice— 
• all under her own name and title…

The way Tulsi pre-empted this disclosure cut the legs out from under corporate media’s usual knee-jerk response: “… but she provided no evidence.” 

Oh, she provided the evidence, all right. 

• If they bother to look...

Where liberals rule-----Massive city, state budgets grossly overspend and put NYC at risk, fiscal watchdog finds: 'unaffordable and unprepared'

The Citizen Budget Commission recommended nixing Gov. Kathy Hochul’s pet project, the $2 billion dollar “inflation reduction checks” approved as part of the state’s record-high $254 billion budget for next year. -Matthew Fischetti andVaughn Golden

• The watchdog group warned that the mayor elected in November will have to close a $6 to $8 billion budget gap just 16 days into their term due to underbudgeting, overspending — and impending costs from the state’s class size law mandate.
• Similarly, it said the state still has a structural budget gap of nearly $22 billion dollars, which could increase due to federal cuts.
• “The real finding with this budget, at the state level is that it spends too much and prepares too little for the future,” said Patrick Oreki, the CBC’s state policy director...

Maybe they should be grateful??

Smoking gun: Biden White House colluded with Merrick Garland on parents as 'domestic terrorists' memo * WorldNetDaily * by Cristina Laila, the Gateway Pundit: 

First Legal obtained new documents proving what we knew to be true all along: Merrick Garland's infamous memo labeling concerned parents at school board meetings "domestic terrorists" was politically orchestrated and driven by the Biden White House. In October 2021, Mark Levin broadcast a letter with insider information on the teachers union, Attorney General Merrick Garland, and the FBI who met and organized how to combat America's parents who were speaking out at local school board meetings across the country.

Grooming the children for "transition"!-----A primary school has decided they need to counter the harm that calling masculinity toxic does to boys.

So they’re holding up Elliot Page as a good example of masculinity. - Jennifer  @babybeginner

• Jennifer  @babybeginner22h - “It is extremely important to teach about positive masculinities. We need to encourage empathy, kindness, showing emotions, listening to alt points of view and developing emotional literacy.” 
• Those are quotes. Those are not my words. I will just leave this here. No comment.

Democrats justify anti-police violence in stunning display | Blaze Media

Democrats justify anti-police violence in stunning display | Blaze Media: 

Democrats have dragged anti-law enforcement violence into the political mainstream. We’ve never seen this level of shameless rhetoric — let alone open justification of violence — from a major American political party in our history.

During a House Homeland Security Committee hearing Wednesday, I opened my testimony by reading direct quotes from Democrats calling for violence. I also cited the 830% spike in assaults against Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
