1 in 4 U.S. teachers are chronically absent, missing more than 10 days of school

1 in 4 U.S. teachers are chronically absent, missing more than 10 days of school - The Washington Post:
"More than 1 in 4 of the nation’s full-time teachers are considered chronically absent from school, according to federal data, missing the equivalent of more than two weeks of classes each academic year in what some districts say has become an educational crisis.

The U.S. Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights estimated this summer that 27 percent of the nation’s teachers are out of school for more than 10 days of regular classes — some missing far more than 10 days — based on self-reported numbers from the nation’s school districts.
But some school systems, especially those in poor, rural areas and in some major cities, saw chronic absenteeism among teachers rise above 75 percent in 2014, the last year for which data is available.
In the Alamance-Burlington School District, located between Greensboro and Chapel Hill, N.C., 80 percent of its 1,500 teachers missed more than 10 days of school in the 2013-2014 school year. Cleveland reported that about 84 percent of its 2,700 teachers had excessive absences.
Nevada’s Clark County School District, which includes Las Vegas, reported that more than half of its 17,000 teachers were chronically absent — missing a total of at least 85,000 work days, or the equivalent number of hours that nearly 500 teachers would work during an entire 180-day school year..."

‘If this goes viral, Trump will win’: Michael Moore leaves internet dazed, confused and on fire | BizPac Review:

"A video excerpt from liberal Michael Moore is taking the internet by storm. But it’s not Moore’s loyal fans singing his praises for a passionate political confession – it’s Donald Trump’s supporters who are doing the cheering.

In the speech that was given before an audience in Ohio, reportedly for the film “Trumpland,” Moore delves deep into the mindset of Trump’s appeal."

October (non) Surprise.... Obamacare Is Collapsing...

Steve Russo - October (non) Surprise.... Obamacare Is Collapsing...:
And don't forget the current increases are on top of the past massive, YEARLY, premium increases. Oh yes, those pesky deductibles and co-pays. 
Up every year. And I almost forgot this minor annoyance. 
The number of Drs. and specialists moving out of Medicare (already gone from Obamacare) to "private pay only". 
In the same manner the rich never see a TSA line or stacked lines of airliners at their executive airport, they'll never have any experience with the "healthcare" they vote for us little people.

"October (non) Surprise.... Obamacare Is Collapsing and Rates Are Going Up! Alternative Headline.... The Affordable Care Act, Is Unaffordable

In the... "We told you so" category....

Regardless of what Obama, Hillary and Democrats told you, their executive fiat and destruction of our Healthcare System is working exactly as they planned. 
And Democrats own every single page of this massive 3500 pages (11,000 pages of regulations) leviathan of failure. 
So get ready to pay out your ass for substandard care. 
Everything Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Hillary and Democrats told you, wouldn't happen, is happening. Shocker, they lied.

Life Preserver

By Tammy Derouin

We are all products of our experiences.  Everyone will encounter a wide range of emotional events in their lifetime.  On the scale of life, we sometimes have to journey to those outermost ends of the scale.  We experience extreme highs, which we never want to end and miserable lows, which can’t end soon enough.  Finding a spot which keeps life reasonably balanced is most desirable.

As much as you would like, you cannot control everything in your life.  There will always be outside forces which will try to influence your spot on the scale. Numerous experiences will enrich your life. Many individuals and events play a positive role in shaping the path you travel.  There are also experiences where individuals or events will attempt to destroy you.  Finding a balance during such difficult times isn’t always easy. 

How you handle outside, destructive forces, plays a big part in how or if you survive the attack.  Sometimes you end up floating in misery for a while; that’s life and it’s unavoidable.  But, knowing when the life preserver has been thrown and then grabbing a hold of it, puts the control right back in your hands; tipping the scale back in your favor.  There comes a time when you have to decide, are you going to wallow and more than likely drown or are you going to swim and attempt to survive?

It truly comes down to survival.  Once you realize that your life and your liberty are priceless gifts, you will do everything you can to protect and defend them.......  

Fact-Check: No, the Clinton Foundation Did Not 'Spend Ninety Percent' of Money Donated on 'Programs'

Fact-Check: No, the Clinton Foundation Did Not 'Spend Ninety Percent' of Money Donated on 'Programs' - Breitbart:
"Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said during the third presidential debate, “We at the Clinton Foundation spend ninety percent — ninety percent — of all the money that is donated on behalf of programs of people around the world and in our own country.”
Fact-Check: FALSE
Indeed, Clinton’s “ninety percent” claim is false according to her troubled charity’s own tax filings.
Peter Schweizer, president of the Government Accountability Institute, Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large, and author of Clinton Cash said the Clinton Foundation has spent as little as six percent of its total income on actual charitable endeavors.
“If you actually look at the numbers of their filings and 990s, that’s what it indicates,” Schweizer said last month in an interview with SiriusXM host Alex Marlow on Breitbart News Daily.

“The Clinton Foundation will say, ‘We assisted or facilitated in 100,000 kids getting immunizations.’ Well, okay, what does that mean?
And they don’t really tell you.
They don’t really explain to you how it works.”
“So the number is absolutely correct, that six percent goes to other charities,” Schweizer continued. “The other 94 percent is in this stew of marketing, and management, and travel expenses, and sort of all these obscure things, that it’s really hard to dissect what is the end result of that 94 percent being spent.”
What’s more?
Political analyst Sean Davis, the co-founder of The Federalist and a former adviser to Sen. Tom Coburn and Gov. Rick Perry, examined the Clinton Foundation’s 2013 tax filings and found that “Hillary Clinton’s non-profit spent more on office supplies and rent than it did on charitable grants.” 
“The Clinton Foundation spent nearly $8.5 million–10 percent of all 2013 expenditures–on travel,” Davis contends.
“Nearly $4.8 million–5.6 percent of all expenditures–was spent on office supplies.”"

Quantifying the impact of the Affordable Care Act

Unbiased America:

Unbiased America

(K.R.) There are many ways to quantify the impact of the Affordable Care Act on the cost of heath insurance, and it's easy to manipulate the data by comparing apples to oranges or leaving out costs, as some less scrupulous efforts have done. 
But most researchers agree that the law has bent the cost curve upwards, and quite dramatically. 
For example:

• A Brookings 2014 study used actual data and found that "enrollment-weighted premiums in the individual health insurance market increased by 24.4% beyond what they would have had they simply followed…trends."

• S&P Global Institute found that average individual market medical costs increased substantially between 2013 and 2015, up an estimated 69%.

• 2014 insurer data shows that premiums for individual market Qualified Health Plans (QHPs), ACA-compliant plans certified to be sold on exchanges, were much higher than premiums for individual market non-QHPs, mostly plans in existence before 2014 that did not comply with the ACA.

If The Media Investigated Hillary Like They Did Watergate, We Wouldn’t Need WikiLeaks

If The Media Investigated Hillary Like They Did Watergate, We Wouldn’t Need WikiLeaks:

"Today, both publications have become willing accomplices in suppressing the same type of information they worked so tenaciously to expose all those years ago. By openly and unapologetically acting as institutional surrogates for the Clinton campaign, these same institutions, and nearly every other mainstream media outlet in America, have gone hands-off in exposing what may very well turn out to be the most explosive and damaging corruption scandal in American politics since “Tricky Dick” was reelected back in ’72."

Consumer Reports announces most, least reliable cars — with plenty of surprises

Consumer Reports announces most, least reliable cars — with plenty of surprises | ExtremeTech: "Broad trends: Asian cars rock. Buick, too
Here are some key trends that we see.
First, the Asian brands rule the rankings.
The 10 brands rank 1-2-5-6-7-8-10-11-12-13, all in the top half. The average ranking is 7.5 (out of 29).
Kia and Hyundai are 5 and 7 (and no model was ranked below average), meaning the Korean brands are as good as the Japanese brands.
Thus you can buy most any Asian car coming off lease and expect decent reliability.
Among US automakers (meaning US-headquartered), Buick was the outlier with its third place finish, same as it earned on the J.D. Power Vehicle Dependability Index three-year-reliability survey.
After that, the best for GM was Chevrolet in 15th among 29 brands...
Europe’s premium automakers have often fared poorly in long-term reliability rankings.
They argued that when you a build a complex car, there may be more things that need attention.
Still, Lexus at No. 1 overall has a lot of complexity, as does Audi (No. 4) and BMW (No. 9). Note also that the two top-scoring models are Toyota and Lexus hybrids, which have additional complexity as well..."
Here are the least reliable cars. 
All are American cars except the dead-last Fiat 500L.

• Cadillac Escalade (most unreliable of the bottom 10). Buy a Chevrolet Suburban or GMC Yukon XL instead, CR says, neither of which is saddled with the Cadillac CUE infotainment system. (Except look who’s No. 4 on the bottom 10 list below.)
• Ford Focus.
• Jeep Renegade
• Chevrolet Suburban / GMC Yukon XL
• Chrysler 200
• Tesla Model X
• Ram 2500 pickup
• Chevrolet Tahoe / GMC Yukon
• Ford Fiesta
• Fiat 500L

Do your homework!-----What You Should Know About the Democratic Party Platform

What You Should Know About the Democratic Party Platform
"During the recent Democratic National Convention the delegates voted to adopt their party’s platform, a document that outlines the statement of principles and policies that the party has decided it will support.

Why should Christians care about a document that few non-politicians will ever read? 
Because of the influence the two major party platforms have on public policy. 
While the platform is not binding on the presidential nominee or any other politicians, political scientists have found that over the past 30 years lawmakers in Congress tend to vote in line with their party’s platform: 89 percent of the time for Republicans and 79 percent of the time for Democrats. 
For this reason we should be aware of what is proposed in these documents and how they may affect the welfare of our nation (Jeremiah 29:7).
This article will provide, without commentary, an outline of the Democratic platform as it relates to several social issues. 
Every statement is either a direct quote or a summary of the platform’s position. 
(Last week, we examined the GOP party’s platform and stance on these and related issues.)

...Criminal Justice Reform

...Opposes racial profiling that targets individuals solely on the basis of race, religion, ethnicity, or national origin.

Supports a requirement to make the Department of Justice investigate all “questionable or suspicious police-involved shootings.”

...Supports removing barriers to help formerly incarcerated individuals successfully re-enter society by “banning the box” (persuading employers to remove from their hiring applications the check box that asks if applicants have a criminal record). 

Supports executive action to “ban the box for federal employers and contractors, so applicants have an opportunity to demonstrate their qualifications before being asked about their criminal records.”

Supports expanding re-entry programs, and restoring voting rights for felons.

Supports, whenever possible, prioritizing prevention and treatment over incarceration when tackling addiction and substance use disorder.

...Supports abolishing the death penalty.

Discrimination and Racial Issues

Supports ending discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, language, religion, gender, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability.

Supports promoting “racial justice through fair, just, and equitable governing of all public-serving institutions and in the formation of public policy.”

Supports removing the Confederate battle flag from public properties, “recognizing that it is a symbol of our nation's racist past that has no place in our present or our future.”

Calls for a “societal transformation to make it clear that black lives matter and that there is no place for racism in our country.”

...Education

Supports making community college free for all students.

...Supports refinancing of current student loan debt.

UNDERCOVER VIDEO: Hillary Clinton Personally Directed Plan to Incite of Violence at Trump Rallies | National Review:

"Project Veritas’s most recent undercover video sting has already resulted in firings (Scott Foval of Democracy Partners) and caused one of Hillary Clinton’s key operatives — Robert Creamer – to resign from the campaign. The videos show evidence that Democratic operatives worked directly with the DNC to incite violence at Donald Trump rallies this year. "

The Bully Party

Conservative Political Cartoons Daily - Timeline:
The Bully Party-By Scott Adams
I’ve been trying to figure out what common trait binds Clinton supporters together.
As far as I can tell, the most unifying characteristic is a willingness to bully in all its forms.

• If you have a Trump sign in your lawn, they will steal it.
• If you have a Trump bumper sticker, they will deface your car.
• If you speak of Trump at work you could get fired

On social media, almost every message I get from a Clinton supporter is a bullying type of message.

• They insult. 
• They try to shame. 
• They label. 
• And obviously they threaten my livelihood.
• We know from Project Veritas that Clinton supporters tried to incite violence at Trump rallies. 

The media downplays it.
We also know Clinton’s side hired paid trolls to bully online.
You don’t hear much about that.
Yesterday, by no coincidence, Huffington Post, Salon, and Daily Kos all published similar-sounding hit pieces on me, presumably to lower my influence.
(That reason, plus jealousy, are the only reasons writers write about other writers.)
Joe Biden said he wanted to take Trump behind the bleachers and beat him up. 
No one on Clinton’s side disavowed that call to violence because, I assume, they consider it justified hyperbole.
Team Clinton has succeeded in perpetuating one of the greatest evils I have seen in my lifetime.

Her side has branded Trump supporters (40%+ of voters) as Nazis, sexists, homophobes, racists, and a few other fighting words.
...The Clinton message is that some Americans are good people and the other 40% are some form of deplorables, deserving of shame, vandalism, punishing taxation, and violence.
She has literally turned Americans on each other.
It is hard for me to imagine a worse thing for a presidential candidate to do.
I’ll say that again.
As far as I can tell, the worst thing a presidential candidate can do is turn Americans against each other.
Clinton is doing that, intentionally.
Intentionally..."

Public university allows ‘viewpoint-based’ discrimination for unpopular speech, group claims

Public university allows ‘viewpoint-based’ discrimination for unpopular speech, group claims - The College Fix:
Letting police decide what ‘solicitation’ means in any given situation

Several weeks after a Fairmont State University police officer told Dustin Winski to stop wearing a sign reading “Do U think the NSA should spy on your phone,” the student still doesn’t know whether he’ll get in trouble if he tries to collect petition signatures again.

Acting on behalf of Winski, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education told the public university in West Virginia earlier this month that it “must immediately revise its policies and practices.”

FSU’s solicitation policy gives police officers “broad discretion” to decide when students are violating campus rules and “unconstitutionally burdens” student speech, according to FIRE.

You ‘freaked out’ students, so knock it off

Bracing for a day of canvassing and promoting liberty, Winski headed out Aug. 30 to collect signatures and gauge interest in starting a Young Americans for Liberty (YAL) chapter, accompanied by Abe Alassaf, a field representative for the conservative Leadership Institute.

Inside Falcon Hall, FSU was hosting its annual student organization fair. Outside, Winsky didn’t last an hour before campus police told him and Alassaf to stop.

“While campus security seemed sympathetic to his efforts, they explained that the student fair activities are the discretion of the police, and Winsky was too ‘outgoing’ in his efforts to collect signatures,” YAL Director of Communications Matthew Boyer said in a statement.

...Asked if requesting signups is considered soliciting, Philyaw recommended that Winski reserve a table and set it up outside, right where they had been standing.

“I see where you are coming from, it is out-of-the-box marketing but it comes across to campus police as soliciting because you are not doing it the way most people would do it with a table,” said Philyaw, as seen in a video also taken by Alassaf...."

Insurers use California's assisted-suicide law to deny treatment for terminal patients

Insurers use California's assisted-suicide law to deny treatment for terminal patients:
"About one-year ago, Gov. Jerry Brown signed the state’s assisted-suicide bill into law. 
It fully went into effect this June, with the opening of the first clinic. 
While there is no data on the number of California assisted-suicides, Oregon recorded over 130 last year as part of their legalized physician-assisted death program.

Now, one young mother says her insurance company denied her coverage for chemotherapy treatment after originally agreeing to provide the fiscal support for it, but indicated it would be willing to pay for assisted suicide instead.

Stephanie Packer, a wife and mother of four who was diagnosed with a terminal form of scleroderma, said her insurance company initially indicated it would pay for her to switch to a different chemotherapy drug at the recommendation of her doctors.

…But shortly after California’s End of Life Option Act, which authorizes physicians to diagnose a life-ending dose of medication to patients with a prognosis of six months or less to live, went into effect, Ms. Packer’s insurance company had a change of heart.

“And when the law was passed, it was a week later I received a letter in the mail saying they were going to deny coverage for the chemotherapy that we were asking for,” Ms. Packer said.

She said she called her insurance company to find out why her coverage had been denied. On the call, she also asked whether suicide pills were covered under her plan.

“And she says, ‘Yes, we do provide that to our patients, and you would only have to pay $1.20 for the medication,’” Ms. Packer said.

Packer attends meetings with others suffering from terminal illnesses. 
She indicates that the tone of those meetings have changed since the California assisted-suicide law was enacted.

“As soon as this law was passed – and you see it everywhere, when these laws are passed – patients fighting for a longer life end up getting denied treatment, because this will always be the cheapest option.”

Packer attends a support group for terminally ill patients. She said legally sanctioned suicide has changed the tone of the meetings, which used to be “positive and encouraging.” With patients under new societal pressure to kill themselves, she said meetings “became negative, and it started consuming people. And then they said, ‘You know what? I wish I could just end it.'”

Concerned about the enormous potential for abuse, a the national organization, Patients Rights Action Fund, has created a website for patients like Packer..."

Fox News Just Landed A Brutal, Clean Hit On Hillary Clinton's Campaign | Huffington Post:

"In the beforetime, in the long, long ago of 2015, a woman named Hillary Clinton was about to launch her campaign for president. She was also trying really hard to secure $12 million for her family’s charitable foundation from King Mohammed VI of Morocco. And her campaign was freaking out about it.

Campaign manager Robby Mook and longtime Clinton confidant John Podesta thought the deal ― in which Clinton had committed to speak at an event for the king on the condition of his $12 million donation ― would look bad. Clinton aide Huma Abedin tried to explain that it was simply too late to back out."

Democratic Operative Robert Creamer Used Terror to Wage War on Honesty | Observer

Democratic Operative Robert Creamer Used Terror to Wage War on Honesty | Observer
"WHERE’S THE MEDIA OUTRAGE?": Democrat operative Robert Creamer ran a political terror operation — with the goal of influencing the 2016 election. (Instapundit)

"Let’s be blunt: Democratic Party operative Robert Creamer used terror to wage war on honesty. 

Until forced to resign his post as a “consultant” with a Democratic Party-aligned organization named Americans United for Change, Creamer ran what amounts to a domestic U.S. political terror and propaganda operation dedicated to undermining the 2016 U.S. presidential election—“rigging the election,” to use the current term.

Yes, Creamer’s operation uses terror—and three investigative videos recently released by Project Veritas contain information supporting my assessment.

(“Rigging The Election,” Part One, Part Two and Part Three, released October 24).

Creamer resigned as an official consultant because Part One and Part Two exposed him. His operation, however, remains active and continues to do damage. 

The election rigging scheme he commanded relies on street thuggery. 

That means physical fear—terror—is a core component of Americans United for Change’s crooked enterprise. 

Street thuggery is very low-level terrorism, but it is a type of terrorism nonetheless and it is wrong to call it otherwise. 

Hardboy muscle, bottles and two by fours are street thuggery’s kinetics. 

Bottles and baseball bats are not Al Qaeda’s high explosives—but they incite fear and when they crack heads they cause casualties. 

People bleed. 

Street thuggery as an arm of politics is violent, criminalized politics on an ugly downward slope to much worse, the worse including lynchings and pogroms. 

If you don’t think street thuggery is terror then consider Kristalnacht..."
