Ron just keeps on doing what a Governor is supposed to do, That’s work for the people. What a shame it is for the other states that have scumbags as Governor. But you know what? You get what you get with your vote!

WASHINGTON (LifeSiteNews) – President Joe Biden declared Tuesday it is “hateful” to shield schoolchildren from discussions of sexuality and gender that may be beyond their age level, in his latest attack on Florida and its Gov. Ron DeSantis, a potential challenger to Biden for the White House.

SB 1834, the Parental Rights in Education bill, would block Florida school districts from discussing sexual orientation or gender identity with elementary school students, and give parents the ability to sue for damages over violations. It is one of multiple bills pending in the Florida legislature that would limit children’s exposure to sensitive sexual topics.

On Tuesday, the White House issued a statement claiming the legislation was “designed to attack LGBTQI+ kids” and would have the effect of “making growing up harder for young people.” It was soon followed by a statement from the president calling SB 1834 “hateful.”

NBC News reports that DeSantis signaled his support for the measure at an event in Miami, calling it “entirely inappropriate” for teachers to tell children things like “Don’t worry, don’t pick your gender yet” or withhold controversial classroom materials from parents.

“Schools need to be teaching kids to read, to write,” the governor said. “They need to teach them science, history. We need more civics and understanding of the U.S. Constitution, what makes our country unique, all those basic stuff. The larger issue with all of this is parents must have a seat at the table when it comes to what’s going on in their schools.”

“I also think one of the things that I think the legislature is getting at is everything should be age-appropriate,” DeSantis added, The Blaze reports. “My goal is to educate kids on the subjects, math, reading, science, all the things that are so important. I don’t want the schools to kind of be a playground for ideological disputes.”

Since taking office, Biden has aggressively courted the LGBT lobby in hiring decisions and executive orders. By contrast, DeSantis has aggressively pursued a litany of conservative priorities, including protections for religious freedom, conscience rights, and the objective reality of biological sex, raising his profile as a potential 2024 contender in the eyes of conservatives.

What A Letter!

Folks, I know it’s Sunday, the Lord’s Day, and I did attend church this morning as my bride and I do every week. But then I come home and while I should have stayed off the computer, it was too cold outside (would you believe it was in the low 30′ last night; had to cover my tomato plants. Yeah I know shame on me talking about such mundane things to you folks up north), but then I digress as usual. Anyway I go online and start eliminating emails that are always filled with the goings on of the day, which usually contain more about the Third World Shithole in which we live. But one email I never delete without reading is from my dear friend and brother, Lobo

He had an attachment written by a Marine retired general for whom I have the utmost  regard and respect, albeit I never served under him, and I consider that my loss. We were; however, within shouting distance several times during our careers. His reputation  stands for itself.

I strongly recommend you read his letter, and for God’s sake, take heed and let’s continue our mission. Write some damn letters, make some phone calls, and above all else — MAKE SO NOISE!

THE MODERN AMERICAN GOVERNMENT A STORY OF CORRUPTION, INCOMPETENCE, LIES AND ILLEGALITY

The best places to start a study of today’s Washington are Congressman Jim Jordan’s highly readable book, “Do What You Said You Would Do” and the much longer, even more staggering, “The Real Anthony Fauci,” authored by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Both provide authoritative confirmation of the news that flies daily on the internet.

Former topflight college wrestler and one of the few members of the current Congress who aggressively supports the desires of his constituency, Jordan exposes such matters as the 6 January 2021 “insurrection” in the capitol and is harshly critical of colleagues, Republican and Democrat, who campaign using promises that are ignored once they take office. He also addresses lies like the “insurrection” of 6 January 2021, recently called, “worse than Pearl Harbor” by a “woke” Democrat politician.

Both books are most instructive. Every American who is concerned about what is happening to our once great country will find cause and confirmation of their concerns in the authors’ works.
Robert Kennedy, a gentleman who had a “… 40 year career as an environmental and public health advocate…” provides a detailed exposition of America’s catastrophic response to the COVID – 19 epidemic. By page xx of the Introduction, the reader learns that the lockdown strategy put 58 million Americans out of work and among other things contributed to, “a run-up in the national deficit … the interest payments alone will cost almost $1 trillion annually.” To add perspective, it takes $1,000 Billion to equal $1 Trillion. Adding insult to stupidity, according to Google, the National Debt is hovering around $29 Trillion.

That’s not all. Among other things, page xxi of the Introduction reveals that, “When Dr. Fauci took office, America was still ranked among the world’s healthiest populations. Not now. An August 2021 study by the Commonwealth Fund ranked America’s health care system,” dead last among industrialized nations, with the highest infant mortality and the lowest life expectancy.” And there’s more. Much more, including the page 29 revelation of published studies based on fictional information provided by an Illinois based “medical education” company. The company had 11 employees, including a “… science fiction writer and a porn star/events hostess.” Yessir, just “follow the science.” Read further and you have to wonder why many people, including Fauci are not in jail.

Both books ought to be on every bookshelf in America. Every day brings corruption on steroids into American life. The books are enough to prove that America is in serious trouble. Much of the mainstream media is useless. It is an ally of the “woke” and a megaphone for the distribution of lies and amazingly stupid and often unpopular policies.

An example of the media lapdog relationship with the Democrats is found in a recent internet video showing a Republican House Member announcing that the much ballyhooed Build Back Better Bill contains a proviso that the Federal Government will pay one half the salary of every print or electronic news reporter  THROUGHOUT THE NATION.

Think of it, a back door, government controlled news agency. Whose money will be used? Or even better, think of Dr. Josef Goebbels and the Nazi propaganda machine. It takes a seriously sick group of politicians to come up with that portion of the trillion dollar farce.

The above examples show why the internet is a major source of current news, especially news that most major print and electronic media outlets ignore or even lie about.

More samples of internet content are found in January 19th’s early morning internet intake. It included four articles and a highly informative video, all overlooked by the lapdogs. All spread the stench of official corruption, incompetence, lies and, illegality that abound on a daily basis.

The intake started with a missive entitled, “Bad Border Crisis – Mexico a Larger Crisis.” It included, as an attachment, a copy of a speech delivered by the former Director for Texas Homeland Security from 2007 – 2018. He had much to say about our border with Mexico; however, his starting point was that “… Mexico is on the brink of becoming a failed state.” He went on to note that the cartels currently have influence over the Mexican government and upon failure of the government, they will move in and take full control of Mexico.

The cartels already have operatives in the United States to keep an eye on police activity and run the deadly drug distribution network (they must have celebrated the Defund the Police insanity as a true gift). A Mexico under full control of cartels, some of which are already smuggling lethal Chinese drugs into the US via our southern border, is a potential national security threat of the highest order. The cartels will expand the number of US based drug and human smuggling operations. To do so, they will add the necessary violent criminal manpower.

Our current Secretary of Homeland Security has said, “The Border is Closed.” That is a blatant lie. Border officials have repeatedly stated that, “we have lost control of the border.” The US Government has done nothing to close the border. The number of illegals and flow of lethal drugs continue to increase. China’s involvement continues to increase. Who are the illegals? What are they? Why doesn’t Washington care about the drugs and associated deaths? Border patrol officers are shot at from Mexico. Washington does nothing. Why? The Southern Border. Is clearly in a catastrophic state. Why does the Federal Government not do its DUTY and actually close the border?? A nation without a border is no longer a nation.

And why, in the name of God, are Illegal immigrants allowed to use arrest warrants as ID alternatives in order to board aircraft? That gem was initially announced by the Transportation Security Administration on 21 January. According to a 22 January internet report, it was confirmed by the Western Journal the same day. Whose aircraft? Where do they go? Why? Who pays for the flights?

The second internet offering was an edition of “Fred on Everything.” The subject was the crumbling American educational system. One of the more maddening facts surfaced when our educational system was compared to those of other countries. It was reported that, “America’s mathematics teachings are being dumbed down because math is racist.” How insane! Where is the nation’s Department of Education as parents fight Board of Education introduction of pornography in grade school curricula and libraries? Where is the Department of Education while math is being “dumbed down” or porn is being taught in grade schools? Get rid of it.

Next comes the internet report that the Department of Defense is “… quietly looking into how nonbinary troops can serve openly.” This, and the DOD effort to identify racists and right wing extremists in the services, is occurring just as Russia masses infantry, artillery, armor and combat support commands on the Ukrainian border. Shades of 1939 Europe and the Nazi force buildup on the Polish border.

If Russia invades Ukraine, Europe either goes to war or faces the prospect of possible further Russian ambitions to recreate the Soviet Empire. If Europe prefers freedom to possible subservient domination, highly possible NATO commitments will force American participation.

Of much greater importance, just as Russia threatens to invade the Ukraine, Communist China is drooling at the prospect of occupying Taiwan According to internet reports, DOD has openly stated that wargames against China have repeatedly resulted in America’s defeat.

Unfortunately, even cursory discussion of DOD and the services requires a separate paper. However, it is worth noting that DOD is now slow rolling a congressional demand for a report concerning the gift of roughly $80 Billion worth of military equipment to Afghanistan’s Taliban. The report was due two months ago. There’s trouble in the wind. Real trouble.

One military related matter that was not mentioned in the 19 January string of early emails is the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) unbelievable phone call to his Chinese counterpart. He told the Chinese general that, should America decide to activate the nuclear launch system with China as the target, he would give the Chinaman a warning phone call. Reports of that phone conversation were received with amazement by government officials and the public. Nothing has since been said or apparently, done about that call.

It is reasonable to assume that China’s decision making chain of command for launching nuclear strikes is shorter than ours. The Chinese could launch a first strike nuclear attack and then claim, for public benefit, that their attack was prompted by a warning phone call. Or the call could actually be made as the activation system is working its way through the chain only to be stopped for some reason. At that point, China would have every reason to launch its nukes. Much talking about nukes. Little thinking.
The final example of one morning’s internet intake is a Lawrence Sellin article discussing the amount of taxpayer money Fauci has spread around to support questionable biowarfare research. Fauci is no friend of America.

Washington is not a swamp. It is a malfunctioning open air sewage treatment plant. The lies, corruption and power grabbing must be stopped. America is not just going in the wrong direction; it is sliding rapidly downhill toward the loss of freedom and the tyranny of communism. Look at the 6 January protestors who are still confined in a DC jail. What happened to “a speedy trial?” What is being done about reports of prisoner abuse? Why are they jailed when real rioters and insurrectionists burned down government buildings and attacked policemen during the 2021 riots run free?

There are signs that the American people are catching on. Great! But not enough. The lies, insanities and illegalities continue unabated. Military veterans who have gone many places and seen so many things in peace, or often in war, have a broader background than others. They should be prominent in the defense of America. Washington should be barraged with letters by the thousands. Numbers count to politicians. Veterans should identify themselves. They are citizens who contributed to America’s defense. As a group, they have clout. And they should encourage friends and relatives to join in the effort. It’s their country, too. They must be heard.

Please start the hobby of tormenting DC with letters. We have a huge, target rich environment. Expand upon subjects in this paper. Go after others … crime; inflation; the failure to investigate $1.5 Billion the Chinese gave Hunter Biden; the police who beat a defenseless woman’s head with nightsticks during the 6 January demonstration; and empty grocery store shelves. Given what goes on in the sewage treatment plant, the possibilities are virtually endless.

Parents Beware!

Merrick Garland Has a List, and You’re Probably on It

By Gerard Baker

Merrick Garland’s got a little list.

The attorney general is compiling a steadily lengthening register of “society offenders who might well be underground and who never would be missed,” as Ko-Ko, the hypervigilant lord high executioner, sings in Gilbert and Sullivan’s “The Mikado.”

Mr. Garland’s list of society offenders is compendious. At the top are right-wing extremists who’ve been officially designated the greatest domestic threat to U.S. security, but whose ranks seem, in the eyes of the nation’s top lawyer, to include some less obviously malevolent characters, including perhaps anyone who protested the results of the 2020 election. Then there are police departments not compliant with Biden administration law-enforcement dicta, Republican-run states seeking to regularize their voting laws after last year’s pandemic-palooza of an electoral process, and state legislatures that pass strict pro-life legislation.

They’d none of them be missed.

Oddly, the list doesn’t seem to extend to the hundreds of thousands of people who have crossed the southern border so far this year and are now presumably at large somewhere in the U.S. without a legal right to be in the country. Nor to those benevolent folk who have reduced several of the nation’s urban centers to crime-infested wastelands.

Which is presumably why the latest names on his roll are those parents who have had the temerity to challenge local school boards about the mandates they are imposing on their pandemic-ready classes and what the children are learning.

That wasn’t how the attorney general presented it when he announced the news. Citing a “disturbing trend” in harassment, intimidation and threats of violence against school-board members, teachers and other school employees, he declared that he was directing the Federal Bureau of Investigation to work with local and state law enforcement to develop “strategies” for dealing with the problem.

The announcement looked as though it had been carefully coordinated with the National School Boards Association (NSBA), which had asked the Biden administration to do exactly this.

Decent people everywhere acknowledge that violence is intolerable—whether perpetrated by Black Lives Matter agitators torching buildings, Trump supporters smashing federal property, or parents who throw projectiles at school board members.

But the letter from the NSBA contained barely any evidence of actual violence. It cited mostly antisocial behavior and threats, and some of the offenses referenced—such as a parent making a mock Nazi salute to a school board—are, however offensive, constitutionally protected speech.

And, as has been widely noted, when acts of violence occur, they can and have been dealt with by local or state law enforcement. There is no federal interest in any of these infractions.

All this merely underscores what the real objective of the attorney general’s action was—and we don’t need to engage in speculation because it was recently spelled out to us by another leading member of President Biden’s party, Terry McAuliffe, the Democratic candidate for governor of Virginia.

In a rare moment of honesty from a politician, Mr. McAuliffe made clear, in a television debate with Republican Glenn Youngkin, the Democrats’ conception of the role that parents should have in their children’s education: none whatever.

“I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.”

Aside from the jaw-dropping disdain for families, Mr. McAuliffe’s prescription is at odds with Article 26.3 of the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the sort of grand multilateral pronouncement the Democrats usually fetishize, which states: “Parents have a prior right to choose the kind of education that shall be given to their children.”

This flagrant attempt to intimidate parents into handing their children over to the mercies of the state is as sinister as anything the modern progressives who now control the Democratic Party have done.

The message is clear, and it has been the character of education in totalitarianism systems through history: These are not your children; they are wards of the state, and the state (in this case through the teachers unions that fund the Democratic Party) will determine what they learn and how.

Democrats like Mr. McAuliffe insist that pernicious racial doctrines teaching the ubiquity of white supremacism and the inherent racism of American society and encourage racial segregation aren’t actually taught in schools. But this is laughable. The same Democrats have spent the last year insisting on racial “equity” as the defining objective of their social program. Why would they leave it out of the schools they mostly control?

Mr. Garland’s brazen attempt to intimidate will likely backfire as more parents—including many who aren’t especially conservative—become alarmed by what they see and hear in their children’s schools. By placing them on his little list, he may have done us all a favor.
