British Army veteran arrested for silently praying for his dead son near an abortion clinic - TheBlaze:
"Nobody should be arrested for the thoughts they have in their own mind. The arrest and charge appears to be premised entirely on her admission that she was praying internally," Jeremiah Igunnubole, Spruce's legal representative, said in a statement. "The clinic was closed and she was standing, in a public space, without once engaging anyone. As a public space, she was not banned from being present there."
Taxpayers forced to fund these hate-spewing covens in our schools?!!-----DEI Has Failed; We Do Not Need More of It | The Heritage Foundation
DEI Has Failed; We Do Not Need More of It | The Heritage Foundation
- DEI offices accomplish little more than producing a lot of bureaucratic sound and fury on the taxpayers’ dime.
- The racial problems in schools remain “astronomical,” according to federal officials. So why do they think we need more of the same DEI?
- School districts across the country have established diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) offices to reduce discrimination, and the Department of Education regularly touts the value of DEI programs to quell bias.
- Yet nationwide, school officials reported a “record number” of discrimination complaints last year...

Ditching Michigan’s grade 3 reading retention law a top priority for Democrats 
"It’s why her first piece of legislation for the year, Senate Bill 12, would strike the retention component from Michigan’s reading law altogether while requiring a student’s teacher, principal and parent/legal guardian work together and craft a plan that addresses a child’s individual reading needs.
“Grade retention doesn’t help kids to read. ...

Energy Dept. Report Admits Economic Benefits of Keystone XL Pipeline

Budapest & Half Moon Bay: The Value Of Perspective - The American Conservative 
"...(Side note: Especially in a city like Baton Rouge, which, like crime-ridden New Orleans, has a large contingent of poor young black men.
You are not supposed to notice these things, but everybody does, because one's safety depends on it.
Friend of mine there, an older man, a white liberal Democrat who spent a lifetime working with law enforcement, told me once that one of the hardest things for him to deal with personally, as a liberal who despises our history of racism in Louisiana, is the reality of total social breakdown in the black community, and its causal intersection with violent crime in the city.
He told me that the truth is, the core of the problem is beyond the ability of the state to fix.
It all has to do with the annihilation of the family, in his view.
- He talked about going to court once and seeing a mother in handcuffs who had been brought out of prison to be present when her handcuffed teenage son stood before the judge for sentencing for some violent crime he had committed. That, for him, was a symbol of our city's tragedy. But no one talks about that publicly, for obvious reasons.
He shrugged, as if to say, there's not one, at least not one that can be imposed from the outside.)...

Are we "protected" by morons?-----With no accountability, how can US intelligence community keep us safe?
With no accountability, how can US intelligence community keep us safe? - James Bamford
- James Bamford, author of the new book "Spyfail," says the US intelligence community has a lot of explaining to do when it comes to the loss of top-secret documents, cyberweapons and more.
"...For several years I have been working on a new book, “SpyFail,” that examines the collapse of the country’s counterintelligence and security operations.
And by far, no administration has had a more disastrous record than those of Barack Obama and Biden.
For years, insiders at the hyper-secret National Security Agency were able to walk out the door with more than half a billion pages of documents classified higher than top secret, some dealing with nuclear weapons and many of which ended up in Russia.
And that was after the supposed crackdown following the million or so documents removed by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, also on Obama and Biden’s watch.
- Still another NSA insider was able to steal nearly all of the agency’s highly dangerous cyberweapons — the tech equivalent of loose nukes — and put them up for auction on the internet ...
