Illinois Democrats beloved by teachers' unions target homeschooling families, religious schools | Blaze Media
Illinois Democrats beloved by teachers' unions target homeschooling families, religious schools | Blaze Media:
"We believe [this] is religious persecution," added homeschool parent Latasha Fields. "That's what we believe. We believe it really is because this bill invades our privacy, is unconstitutional, and it does. It threatens, and it overreach[es], and it interferes with parental rights."
Some worry that the bill could be selectively enforced and possibly lead to harassment of law-abiding Christians and other homeschoolers, though Costa Howard insisted that investigations into homeschooling families would occur only in response to serious allegations.
From Feeding the Kids to Fleecing the Government: Inside the Country's Largest COVID Fraud
What happens when you cross a Third-World tribal culture with an urban Democratic establishment? - Scott W. Johnson 
You can probably guess the outcome, but in Minnesota we don’t have to guess.
We have seen it on display in the sprawling Feeding Our Future case that represents the largest COVID fraud discovered so far in the United States.
- A cast of almost entirely Somali immigrants is charged with siphoning some $250 million from the federal child nutrition program administered by the Minnesota Department of Education into their own pockets between March 2020 and January 2022...
The Financial Times has issued an apology after suggesting that @Tesla had shady accounting with $1.4 billion "missing."
In reality, the Financial Times just didn't understand the accounting, and an expert reached out to them to explain it to them. - Sawyer Merritt@SawyerMerritt
FT: "One unavoidable conclusion is that at a certain point it’s necessary to trust the auditor’s judgment.

Disney's woke 'Snow White' is one of its worst box office bombs | Blaze Media:
The live-action remake is unlikely to earn enough money to become profitable.
The box office results are in for the first weekend of Disney's "Snow White" remake, and it is one of the company's worst bombs.
The Conspiracy to Take Down Tesla Is Vast, Organized, and Well-Funded David Strom
It is a well-coordinated, highly funded, and inherently violent "protest" movement that is designed by radical activists, backed by billionaires and foundations, approved of by high-level Democrats, and already employing lawyers who carefully draft language for the leaders to use that slightly separates them from the violent actions of their Brownshirts.
There is nothing organic about the effort to destroy Tesla.

- "We need to destroy Tesla and Elon Musk. Peacefully, of course, but you can understand why some people use guns, Molotov cocktails, vandalism, doxx every Tesla owner and use threats against them. But we sure don't want to do that, wink wink...

USAID was the gigantic money-laundering tool for crooks, thieves and politicians!-----HUGE: Barack Obama Was Using USAID to Pretend to Send 'Aid' Overseas But Was Laundering It to Train 'Rent-a-Riots' Instead
“This was a scandal during the Obama USAID era. We were running a number of rogue USAID operations in Cuba at the time. - Jim Hoft

From the video, via Wall Street Apes:
Mike Benz on Joe Rogan: “This was a scandal during the Obama USAID era. We were running a number of rogue USAID operations in Cuba at the time. — I’m simply showing the American people where your tax dollars are going and how these things are structured in order to systematically fool you and to fool Congress and to fool the White House:
— USAID pumped $1.2 billion in, and we sponsored these activist groups and these civil society organizations to learn how to use Facebook, learn how to use Twitter, learn how to use hashtags, learn how to coordinate street protests so that everyone knows where to go, what street to show up on, what kind of slogans to know, to use in order to create the pro-democracy predicate for it.”...They started running this in 2010 which right during the Arab Spring. They were using USAID funds that were designated to Pakistan.
— We can get into the deeper layers of this, but contractors were funded by USAID...

Now think about these:
Gonna be hard to come back from this.
Now think about these:
- - Illegal aliens are ok, deporting violent illegal aliens is not.
- - Oligarchs are bad, except when Democrats do it.
- - The President as near dictatorial powers, but not when it is a Republican.
- - J6 protestors, even the non-violent ones, must be severely punished, BLM and ANTIFA are just expressing free speech so they should be left alone.
- - Everybody should have free speech rights but only if we approve of the speech.
- - Billionaires in politics are bad, unless they support Democrats.
- - Climate change is real, and Tesla cars are saving the environment, but we hate Musk now, so we will trade them in for gas powered cars and then burn the Teslas.
- - Under the Department of Education, education failing more than ever – but the Department of Education must not be disbanded.
Gonna be hard to come back from this.

Interesting!-----The Agony of John Roberts - Kurt Schlichter
The Agony of John Roberts - Kurt Schlichter 
Pity poor John Roberts.
- No, he’s not corrupt or compromised.
- He is simply a man who has found himself at a pivotal time and place in a position of great responsibility for which he is utterly unsuited.
He’s not a dumb man.
He is, in fact, a very smart man – Hugh Hewitt knew him personally in the Reagan administration and testifies to that.
I have no doubt it’s true.
I know many smart people who have similar flaws.
- As objectively intelligent as John Roberts is, he is unwise, and he is endangering the institution he wants to preserve because he does not understand human nature or the times he finds himself in.

Greenhouse gas windfalls blew hard for solar in the Biden EPA * WorldNetDaily * by James Varney. Real Clear Wire:
"These grant programs are the most blatant instances of self-dealing I've ever witnessed," said Thomas Pyle, president of the American Energy Alliance, one of 50 free market-oriented groups that called on Congress to repeal the IRA's climate spending.
"The Biden administration and Democrats in Congress loaded the IRA with billions of dollars of walking around money to fund organizations – some of which didn't even materialize until after the bill was passed – to promote and advance the green agenda at the expense of American taxpayers and families," Pyle said.
Study: Post-1980s Warming Trend Has Improved European Life Expectancy - Climate Change Dispatch
Milder winters save lives, whereas cold, harsh winters shorten lives. - Kenneth RichardThroughout Europe, exposure to harsh winters in colder climates is a greater mortality threat than living in warm climates with very hot summers.
Succinctly put, warmer, milder winters save lives, whereas cold weather and harsh winters shorten lives.
The authors of a new study insist the modern emphasis on limiting global warming so as to reduce heat-related mortality is misplaced, as it neglects the much more dangerous threat posed by cold weather.

Maybe the most damaging "ignored-story" of our lifetime!-----An EdTech Tragedy - by Jon Haidt and Zach Rausch
A groundbreaking UNESCO book on the damage wrought by ed-tech during COVID school closures around the globe - Jon Haidt and Zach Rausch
In The Anxious Generation, we focused on the emergence of the adolescent mental health crisis that began in the early 2010s.
However, since the book’s publication one year ago, we have learned even more about worrisome trends in education that closely mirror those in mental health: after decades of stability or gradual improvement, test scores in the U.S. and around the world began declining notably in the 2010s...
Here’s a figure from that essay (re-graphed by us), showing that the decline is happening across the dozens of countries that participate in PISA (Program for International Student Assessment).

Here’s a figure from that essay (re-graphed by us), showing that the decline is happening across the dozens of countries that participate in PISA (Program for International Student Assessment).
As with the mental health declines, these decline started after 2012, not 2020.
