Joe Biden Wants Your Kids
On Independence Day, President Biden reminded Americans that their independence does not extend to raising their own children. In remarks to members of the nefarious National Education Association, he said that children in America do not belong to their parents.
While the Biden administration claims to value diversity, inclusion, and unity, Biden reminded Americans what he and his puppeteers value most: appropriating your children.

Teacher Resigns Amid Controversy
No longer are the views of leftist teachers a surprise. They view their publicly subsidized jobs as opportunities to disseminate their moral and political views as objective, inarguable truths. They believe they are entitled to absolute autonomy. They view other people’s children as their own.

Red Herring: Book-Banning
Leftists’ new glittery red herring is “book-banning,” which they swing around frantically, trying to divert everyone’s gaze from the relentless word- and book-banning of the worker bees who keep the Hive Mind buzzing and humming along as queens acquire yet more power. Before we take a stroll through the real censorship dystopia, let’s briefly review some of the things leftists with creepy gleams in their jaded eyes call “book-banning.”

What in the World is Going On?
Like you, I am saddened by the murder of the innocent -again – at the hands of a deranged and mentally ill person. These acts of mass violence by a single individual are unprecedented and the product of the cultural and family breakdown in modern times. In nearly every profile of the attackers is someone from a dysfunctional family with no close friendships or sense of belonging. Assessing the facts that have already been revealed about the Nashville shooter, there seems little doubt that this attack, like nearly all other mass shootings, was targeted against a group of people the shooter both knew and sought revenge on.

It’s a Scam…
It;s a Scam. I am talking about the complete failure of Evidenced Based School Funding (EBF), the new system adopted to spend state money on education in 2017. At the time of the bill’s passage, Illinois was the number one state for reliance on local taxes to fund schools. This created large disparities in how much was spent on education among our 862 school districts (Florida, with nearly 70% more people, has only 68 school districts, btw); those disparities were mostly a factor of local property wealth and the numerous special grants that overtook the old general state aid formula over time.

We’re extreme end of progressive thought and behavior.
There are a couple of hot-button issues that just get my blood boiling to use an old cliché. One of them is the hysterical response to the COVID-19 virus. How people responded to COVID ended up being very revealing – and for that, we should be thankful.

It’s Time to Demand Competence
It’s Time to Demand Competence
Is that really too much to ask from our government?
Is that too much to require from our elected officials?
Is Competence not what we expect in every other aspect of our lives?
Why aren’t the experts called in and listened to when something goes wrong?
