Cuomo says 'feeling uncomfortable' isn't harassment, contradicting harassment law he signed - TheBlaze:
Facing allegations of sexual misconduct from multiple women, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) attempted to defend himself Thursday, saying that making someone "feel uncomfortable" is not harassment.

Cops fired for inaction in Parkland shooting get jobs back, vacation pay | The College Fix
‘There is no accountability,’ says mother of victim
"Two of the police officers who lost their jobs over inaction during the deadliest school shooting in American history have gotten their jobs back, with back and vacation pay.
- A state investigative commission found that Stambaugh was working an off-duty shift at a nearby school when he responded to reports of shots fired at Stoneman Douglas. He got out of his truck, put on his bulletproof vest and took cover for about five minutes after hearing the shots, according to body camera footage. Stambaugh then drove to a nearby highway instead of going toward the school.
- Miller was the first supervisor to arrive at the school, arriving in time to hear three or four shots, records show. Investigators found that Miller took his time putting on a bulletproof vest and hid behind his car...Read all.
Minneapolis mayor admits that calls to 'defund the police' led to a spike in crime - TheBlaze
Minneapolis mayor admits that calls to 'defund the police' led to a spike in crime - TheBlaze:
The city council vowed last year in the wake of the death of George Floyd to get rid of the police, and Mayor Jacob Frey did little to stand in their way, despite claiming that he did not want to fully abolish the police — which famously upset protesters who confronted him on the subject.
As the movement to defund the police gained steam, crime in the city began to increase as cops left the force. After a while, the same city council that trashed cops and threatened to gut their departments realized the city needed help, and they were forced to outsource its police work.

IDF tricked Hamas into thinking they were invading and then obliterated their tunnel network | Daily Mail Online
Israel's deadly deception: IDF TRICKED Hamas into believing a ground invasion was underway... then obliterated tunnel network knowing militants would be hiding underground waiting to ambush tanks
- There was confusion when the IDF suggested troops were on the ground in Gaza, before retracting the statement and saying that forces attacked Hamas tunnels along the border but did not cross it
- Turned out to be a well-planned ploy get Hamas to send its fighters into its underground tunnel system beneath Gaza City, before bombarding the area, in the hope of eliminating large numbers of militants
- Still, fears of invasion remain with thousands of troops moving to the border and 9,000 reservists called up
- Israel stepped up its attacks on Gaza overnight with more than 1,000 bombs and shells pounding northern and eastern areas in the heaviest attacks of the conflict so far
- Meanwhile Hamas has continued firing hundreds of rockets at Israel from Gaza and was joined overnight by three rockets fired from Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon, though all of them fell short
- More street clashes took place in Israeli-Arab city of Lod, with fighting reported in Jaffa and Umm al-Fahm
- Fighting continued this morning as IDF jets struck what they called underground rocket sites and observation posts around Gaza, with Hamas suicide drones sent the other way

House Republicans introduce bill to fire Dr. Fauci - TheBlaze:
"Dr. Fauci represents everything that President Eisenhower warned us about in his farewell address: The scientific-technical elite steering the country toward their own ends," Davison said. "Americans have had decades of Dr. Fauci's leadership, and he publicly failed to respond appropriately to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is time for him to step aside so that new leadership can 'follow the science' and start reopening America.'"

Thug gov. lies. Gets caught!-----Report: Gretchen Whitmer Used Private Jet Borrowed From Billionaires To Travel To Florida During COVID Crisis | The Daily Wire
Report: Gretchen Whitmer Used Private Jet Borrowed From Billionaires To Travel To Florida During COVID Crisis | The Daily Wire
Detroit journalist Charlie LeDuff revealed Thursday on Deadline Detroit that Whitmer asked “businessmen have major dealings in and with the state of Michigan” for what appears to be a political favor, calling on the group to provide her a “private plane they share” so that she did not have to fly commercial.
"Michigan’s Democrat governor, Gretchen Whitmer, reportedly asked a group of wealthy Detroit businessmen to borrow a private jet so that she could travel to Florida in March, just as Florida was struggling with a COVID-19 variant that Whitmer would later warn her own residents about.
One of the businessmen told LeDuff that the group felt obligated to do as the governor asked.
“We wondered why she reached out to us instead of booking a private charter,” the source told LeDuff. “You can’t tell a governor no. Who needs that kind of trouble?”
“She said she was going to see her sick daddy, but that’s not a legitimate political expenditure,” an expert told LeDuff about the transaction. “
What it is, is a political favor. She asked. She got on their plane. Now she owes them one.”
San Francisco concocts plan to send HS seniors to school for one day to obtain millions in state funds: 'Blatant money grab' - TheBlaze
San Francisco concocts plan to send HS seniors to school for one day to obtain millions in state funds: 'Blatant money grab' - TheBlaze:
The union described the development as "exciting news," and union President Susan Solomon told the San Francisco Chronicle the return would allow seniors to spend time with friends and teachers before graduation.
"UESF brought the initial proposal to SFUSD so that our current graduating seniors would have the opportunity to spend some time in-person on campus with teachers and their peers during their last few weeks of high school as they say goodbye to classmates and prepare for graduation and the next chapter of their lives," Solomon said.
But what the teachers' union did not say is that the return would be for one day only — and students would not even be in the classroom with their teachers.
This is child abuse!!!-----MDHHS - Pandemic-EBT
To be clear.
- Pushing our children into the junkfood jungle!
- Almost EVERY public school student in MI is getting theses cards.
- They are distributed to the STUDENT, not their parents.
- They were pre-loaded with over $500, to make up for the time between when the decision was made for this idiocy and the state's ability to get the program going.
- The goal is satisfy HUNGER, not provide nutrition! Chips and candy satisfy "hunger".
- The cards will be loaded with new money ($100+/mo.) through June 2021.
- Most of the spending, by young teen-agers, won't be spent on broccoli.
"P-EBT provides supplemental food assistance benefits to students who have temporarily lost access to free or reduced-price school meals due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The goal of the program is to make sure no child goes hungry by missing out on school meals.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) and Michigan Department of Education (MDE) partnered during the 2019-2020 school year to provide these critical benefits to over 900,000 students.

Systemic Racism, Chicago-Style
Systemic Racism, Chicago-StyleSystemic Racism,
"The country, even the larger world, has heard a lot about “systemic racism” in America lately. It seems to be the flavor of the year and goes on and on, unabated. The White House preaches it and Biden’s U.N. ambassador tells us, “Racism was and continues to be a daily challenge wherever we are. And for millions, it’s more than a challenge. It’s deadly.”
Deadly, indeed!
...The “Windy City” has a black population of just over 30 percent and is deadly dangerous.

Chicago and Illinois both have some of the strongest gun control laws in the country, with more on the way—do you think it’s possible that the criminals might not be obeying those laws?
...The facts are most illuminating, if not staggering.
In Chicago, there were 2,240 shootings and 440 homicides from January through July 2020. The numbers are way up again in 2021. Back in 2015, Chicago’s homicide rate had already risen to 18.6 per 100,000. By 2016, Chicago had recorded more homicides and shooting victims than New York City and Los Angeles combined.
...One thing stands out—almost every shooter and homicide victim (97.7 percent) are black. But Black Lives Matter and Chicago’s Democratic politicians continue to blame “police and systemic racism.”

Normalizing racist hate.-----Antifa Protester: “I Can’t Wait Until Black People Lynch White People”
Antifa Protester: “I Can’t Wait Until Black People Lynch White People”
"An Antifa protester at a demonstration near Seattle was filmed proudly proclaiming, “I can’t wait until black people lynch white people.”
Yes, really.
The chant was heard during a far-left black bloc protest against a Billy Graham association event.
At first a woman is heard stating, “I can’t wait until black people hang you, I can’t wait.”
When she is asked to repeat the statement, she proudly clarifies, “I can’t wait until black people lynch white people.”
When asked if anyone else in the group agrees with the statement, a man puts his hand up and says “I do, I do!”
According to journalist Andy Ngo, the leftists also chanted “death to America!” while burning U.S. flags...Read all!
Are we on the brink????-----VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Are Americans Becoming Sovietized? | The Daily Caller
VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Are Americans Becoming Sovietized? | The Daily Caller
- What ultimately ended the nihilist Soviet system?
"Was it not that Russians finally tired of the Kremlin’s lies and hypocrisies that permeated every facet of their falsified lives?
Here are 10 symptoms of Sovietism.
Ask yourself whether we are headed down this same road to perdition.
- 1. There was no escape from ideological indoctrination — anywhere. A job in the bureaucracy or a military assignment hinged not so much on merit, expertise or past achievement. What mattered was loud enthusiasm for the Soviet system. Wokeness is becoming our new Soviet-like state religion. Careerists assert that America was always and still is a systemically racist country, without ever producing proof or a sustained argument.
- 2. The Soviets fused their press with the government. Pravda, or “Truth,” was the official megaphone of state-sanctioned lies. Journalists simply regurgitated the talking points of their Communist Party partners. In 2017, a Harvard study found that over 90% of the major TV news networks’ coverage of the Trump administration’s first 100 days was negative...Read all!!!!!
