EDITORIAL: On schools, families voting with their feet
The problem stems from the fact that families are fleeing district schools at a high rate. - Las Vegas Review-Journal

The True Story of Thanksgiving - The Rush Limbaugh Show
Who were the Pilgrims thanking?
When I discovered what it was when writing the book, I learned that even I as a young boy had not been told the entire truth of the first Thanksgiving, and the story I was told was somewhat mild.
When I discovered what it was when writing the book, I learned that even I as a young boy had not been told the entire truth of the first Thanksgiving, and the story I was told was somewhat mild.
Over the years, it got worse and worse and worse.
- I could probably sum it up by saying that the story of Thanksgiving as generally taught in the American public school system was that a bunch of haggard people from Britain arrived at a desolate spot at a very cold time of the year and didn’t know what the hell they were doing and didn’t know where they were and had no idea how to live.
- And then they met some Indians, some Native Americans, and the Indians saved them...
That’s essentially the story of Thanksgiving that people were taught...

Senate Democrat Facing Court-Martial Over Video Encouraging Military Personnel to Defy Trump
Senate Democrat Facing Court-Martial Over Video Encouraging Military Personnel to Defy Trump:
A sitting Democratic senator is now facing potential court-martial proceedings after releasing a video urging military personnel to refuse legal orders from President Donald Trump.
The Department of War confirmed Monday that it is reviewing allegations of misconduct against Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona, a retired Navy captain and NASA astronaut.
The agency said it has launched a “thorough review” under the Uniform Code of Military Justice and federal law to determine whether Kelly should be recalled to active duty for court-martial or face other administrative action.
“Lung cancer is the biggest cause of cancer deaths in this country,” Bharat said. “It kills more people than breast, colon and prostate put together.”
“A majority of the lung cancer patients in this country would not meet the screening criteria as it exists currently,”
- Jessie Creel’s cough started in May last year.
- At the time, a primary care physician diagnosed the mother of three with pneumonia. But the antibiotics didn’t work and her cough persisted. During a camping trip in the summer, she coughed up blood. She kept losing weight. She wasn’t able to sleep.
- Six months later, Creel, then 42, was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer. She was active, a runner and a swimmer, didn’t drink, and had never even held a cigarette...
Under current recommendations, people are eligible for screening if they are 50 to 80 years old and have a history of heavy smoking, either actively or in the past 15 years...
Inside The Now-Shuttered Agency Where Employees Lived ‘Like Reigning Kings’
READ IT AGAIN: Employees of DOGE's latest target spent taxpayer money on exotic vacations, portraits, and more. - Luke Rosiak
The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) occupied a nine-story office tower on D.C.’s K Street for only 60 employees, many of whom actually worked from home, prior to the pandemic.
- Its managers had luxury suites with full bathrooms; one manager would often be “in the shower” when she was needed, while another used her bathroom as a cigarette lounge.
- FMCS recorded its director as being on a years-long business trip to D.C. so he could have all of his meals and living expenses covered by taxpayers, simply for showing up to the office.
FMCS is a 230-employee agency that exists to serve as a voluntary mediator between unions and businesses.
As an “independent agency,” its director nominally reports to the president, but the agency is so small that in effect, there is no oversight at all — and it showed, becoming a real-life caricature of all the excesses that the Department of Government Efficiency has alleged take place in government...

'This chick is f*ing insane': Watch Democrat running for Congress refuse to denounce her calls to burn down police stations * WorldNetDaily * by Joe Kovacs:
A Democrat state representative in Tennessee running for U.S. Congress is refusing to denounce her previous calls to defund the police and even burn down police stations.
Aftyn Behn was interviewed on MS NOW, formerly MSNBC, by anchor Catherine Rampell, who confronted Behn with her previous anti-police messages, including one tweet from 2020 in which Behn stated: "Good morning, especially to the 54% of Americans that believe burning down a police station is justified."

'This wasn't an accident': School promotes porn as 'art,' gets busted * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh
'This wasn't an accident': School promotes porn as 'art,' gets busted * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh:
There, students in seventh grade were ordered to see pornography "under the guise of an 'art lesson.'"
"This wasn't an accident. Students viewed this explicit material repeatedly over the course of approximately two weeks, for a graded assignment. No parental notice. No opt-out option. No filtering of graphic content. No alternative assignment," the legal team explained. "One of the students involved is a survivor of sexual assault. This assignment triggered traumatic memories, and this student is now in counseling as a direct result of the school's actions."
