1. The Des Moines School Board appointed Ian Andre Roberts to be Superintendent of Schools in 2023. His base salary started at $270,000. 

He was an illegal overstay who received a final deportation order in 2024 and who had a prior weapons charge from 2020 when they hired him; 
2. According to this, he has a "Doctorate in urban education leadership" from St. John's University.

Let's meet them:

Chinese Lithium Battery System Took down South Korean Intelligence Agency, and Texas has 1200 of these installed

For all of the Green Energy fans, there is a wake up call for security concerns. - Stu Turley

In a startling incident that has raised alarms about the vulnerabilities of critical infrastructure, a massive fire erupted at South Korea’s National Information Resources Management Agency (NIRMA) in Daejeon on September 26, 2025, crippling dozens of government systems and sparking concerns over national security. 

• The blaze, which originated from a lithium-ion battery explosion, burned for over 22 hours and destroyed 96 out of 647 operational systems, leaving services from real estate registries to postal operations paralyzed. 
• While official reports attribute the battery to South Korean manufacturer LG Energy Solution, online discussions and expert analyses have fueled speculation about potential Chinese involvement or parallels to risks posed by Chinese-made energy storage systems...

First things first: there is no PROVEN link between the use of acetaminophen during pregnancy and the development of autism in children.

That's a pretty weak statement, though, and the rather thin read that Jansenn and then Kenvue, the makers of Tylenol, rely upon to make their assertion that Tylenol use does not contribute to the development of autism. - David Strom

• Scientifically proven links in medicine are relatively rare--in fact, there is relatively little evidence that a lot of drugs do what they claim to do, with the difference in outcomes between placebos and beneficial outcomes being modest to nonexistent. 
• Some of the most commonly prescribed drugs, such a SSRIs, are FDA approved despite links with serious or even fatal side effects and relatively small benefits that are barely distinguishable from a placebo. 
• There are plenty of dangerous surgical procedures, such as many back surgeries, that are often performed and are usually unsuccessful...

In other words, the AAP believes that only dumb hicks from small towns believe their faith should inform how they, as parents, care for their children.

It's sheer arrogance. But not only that, I don't think parents should listen to the AAP, because its moral authority on the matter of childhood vaccines is compromised — at best.

Instapundit - In my home state of California, for instance, only 30% of public school fourth graders can read proficiently.

Eighth graders, as you might expect, look almost as bad. - Ed Driscoll

POINT: Newsom 2028!
Counterpoint: “In California, only 28% of Black fourth graders read at or above basic level, for instance, compared to 52% in Mississippi.”

In my home state of California, for instance, only 30% of public school fourth graders can read proficiently. Fully 41% cannot even read at a basic level — which is to say, they cannot really understand and interpret written text at all. Eighth graders, as you might expect, look almost as bad.

'Bombshell report': Tulsi Gabbard uncovers documents showing Obama doctored intel to create Russiagate * WorldNetDaily * by Jim Hoft, the Gateway Pundit: 

Jesse Watters ran a very damning segment on the origins of the Trump-Russia hoax. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard uncovered documents that were hidden for ten years that show Barack Obama was leading efforts to make it look like President Trump and Vladimir Putin stole the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton. Obama ordered his corrupt CIA Director John Brennan to create this fake assessment.

The Gordie Howe Bridge Was a Giant Mistake - Michigan Enjoyer

The state could have just allowed the expansion of the Ambassador Bridge at no cost to taxpayers, but that would’ve been too simple - Charlie LeDuff

...We’ve been kept in the dark about almost everything else on the multi-billion-dollar boondoggle...

• When the deal was first announced back in 2012, the estimated cost was $2 billion. 
• Then it was $4 billion. 
• Then it was $4.8 billion. 
• Then it was $5.7 billion. 
• It was supposed to be completed last year at a cost of $6.4 billion.
• It’s still not done, and the smart money puts the final costs north of $7 billion. (This does not include the unspecified millions the U.S. will shell out for customs and border inspections each year.)

Traffic across the Ambassador Bridge and the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel has fallen by nearly 60% since the year 2000 as auto manufacturing has shifted to the Southern U.S. and Mexico. 

At that rate, according to an independent study from 2018, the Gordie Howe Bridge will never pay for itself.
Never...

Meet The British Billionaire Bankrolling Leftist Causes In America

Americans for Public Trust (APT) released a bombshell report unearthing the extensive financial activity of British billionaire Christopher Hohn in U.S. political causes.  - Shawn Fleetwood

Through the use of his nonprofit, the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF), Hohn has “funneled over $553 million into U.S. organizations from 2014 through 2023 to bankroll advocacy campaigns and push a radical green energy agenda,” according to the analysis...

The APT report focuses on numerous subject areas touched by Hohn’s foreign dark-money influence, including radical environmentalism.

• Per the analysis, the British billionaire is “one of the largest disclosed individual donors to date to the global organization Extinction Rebellion, or XR,” which APT describes as an “international collective founded in 2018 … [that is] behind a series of mob-style protests across the globe.”..
• The report also details how, in 2018, Hohn (via CIFF) purportedly dumped $7 million into the D.C.-based Center for Climate Integrity to back so-called “climate litigation efforts”...to bring lawsuits against energy companies over claims that they are responsible for climate change.”
• Hohn’s financial tentacles also extend into the sprawling dark money network known as Arabella Advisors...
• Another “alarming” feature of Hohn’s dark money shenanigans flagged by APT is CIFF’s “ties and relationships” with communist China...

Public school bosses not only fomenting political hate. They're killing their own golden goose! End their pensions!

Not an important story but an example of the thousands of lies the left feel free to make up and believe.-----Leftist Influencer Launches Smear Attempt Against Pete Hegseth, but Runs Into a Big Problem

It started with a video that circulated on social media of Hegseth apparently at an NFL game between the Washington Commanders (Redskins) and the Minnesota Vikings: - Sister Toldjah
...the smear attempts against Hegseth continue, with a leftist influencer suggesting he broke the vow he made in December amid highly disputed reports of a drinking problem to never drink as Secretary of Defense if confirmed.
It started with a video that circulated on social media of Hegseth apparently at an NFL game between the Washington Commanders (Redskins) and the Minnesota Viking...

• Because there was also a Bud Light can in the clip, it prompted the "Decoding Fox News" account, which is run by alleged Fox News "propaganda debunker" Juliet Jeske, to insinuate that his vow had been broken:

• The big problem here, however, is that the Vikings and the Commanders aren't playing each other until December. Further, they haven't played each other since November of 2022...
