Suddenly, School Choice: Its Rapid Post-Pandemic Expansion Sets Up a Big Pass/Fail Test for Education

Eight states – including Arizona, Florida, Indiana, and West Virginia – have approved “universal” or near-universal school choice laws since 2021. They open the door completely to school choice by making all students, including those already in private schools and from wealthy families, eligible for about $7,000 to $10,000 in state funding each year for their education.

DP – People who have children in private schools are already paying double. They may as well get their tax money back. However, this somewhat defeats the purpose of private schools if the schools are mandated to take anyone who applies.

The Problem with the Durham Report Most Americans See

Tweet hopper:

There are those who are not buying Ice Cube’s little rant here. We’ll see.

It’s a deal.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

For those who think Trump shouldn’t be POTUS in 2024 because he didn’t fully “drain the swamp” in his first term, allow me to offer some perspective.

Do you remember what it was like in 2017? Do you remember how many people were still completely brainwashed by the TV?

If Trump arrested Deep State actors as soon as he showed up, it would have been chaos, civil war, mass civilian casualties, legitimate threat to NATSEC, breakdown of society, etc.

At the time, a small percentage of the population even knew about the Deep State, let alone believed it was a real thing. Trump and his supporters were mocked relentlessly back then for talking about the Deep State, and now it’s widely recognized as a reality.

A large percentage of Americans believed the MSM at the time that Trump conspired with Russia. On top of that, Trump was hamstrung by the Mueller investigation. If Trump went scorched-earth on the Deep State during this time, it would not have worked. The Leftists were already emboldened to riot due to the BLM insanity. It would have been ugly.

We were on pace to handle it in Trump’s 2nd term, and then they released C19 on the world, the bio-medical police state was implemented, mail-in ballots were sent out en masse, the steal happened, and everything changed.

However, Biden’s disastrous term pretty much confirmed Trump was right about everything, and the American People got a quick 4 year dose of full-blown Orwellian totalitarian dystopia.

This caused a significant portion of the People to wake up to the realities about corruption and degeneration of society that Trump was talking about. The Left, the media, the corporations, all of the elements of the Deep State went completely batshit crazy, exposing themselves to the People.

Now add the optics of Biden weaponizing the DOJ to go after Trump over nothing, and all the sudden, if Trump went after the Deep State in his 2nd term, the public would not only understand it, they agree with him.

Then add additional layers, like that Biden admin and their Deep State affiliates are 100% responsible for the war in Ukraine, as they are trying to defend their illegal offshore proxy they created via CIA color revolution in 2014. Funding and arming nazi military forces and dragging the US/NATO into WW3 with nuclear superpower Russia and China waiting patiently in the shadows.

Why will Trump drain the swamp during his next term? Because the People get it now. They see what he was talking about. They had a front row seat to witness it for the last 7+ years.

Trump now has the political ammunition and the global support to do what is necessary and rid the world of the Deep State. And equally as important, the Deep State have lost control of the narrative because of the parabolic takeover of citizen journalism thanks to Elon’s introduction of free speech on Twitter.

Trump didn’t have all this going for him his first time around. Now much more of the world is awake, and more of them will continue to wake as WW3 and nuclear destruction looms over us all.

Trump said it himself. “We are in a position to do that now because Pandora’s Box has been opened. People will say ‘now we get it’”.

The Left are right; if Trump wins 2024, it WILL be a “Retribution Presidency”.

Meme & Fun hopper:

That’s more true than not.

He would lose in the first heat of the trials.

Something to remember, always.

Per the boss’s instruction:

I’d throw in a few Rockefellers and Rothschilds also.

Of course, this does not mean committing felonies, but standing up to the forces that want to tear this nation – and humanity apart. The very people XVII told us will be destroyed by the time this movie comes to an end are currently roaming the halls of power…supposedly. It’s a sickening sight.

James Woods thinks Dems are plotting to put Newsom in. How would that be accomplished? He’d have to begin as VP. Then if Joe is out of commission for 2024 and Kamala doesn’t run for president, then Newsom is the guy? I haven’t seen Kamala tied to any of the Biden scandals, so they can’t get rid of her that way.

Easily accomplished … Kamela Harris could resign while Joe still resident (she will readily do as told_…

Joe nominates Newsum. then Congress approves … then Joe is removed under Article 25 … viola’

Jackson hated the Swamp with the heat of a hundred suns, blaming the city for the death of his beloved wife. Despite serving two terms, his tomb does not mention his Presidency at all.

Jackson died on June 8, 1845 and was laid to rest two days later in the tomb. The inscription on his reads simply, “General Andrew Jackson, March 15, 1767 – June 8, 1845.”

Calling him deranged is meaningful. But what, exactly, is the meaning?

RAC

In the case of mad (angry) jack I’ll take this definition…
Deranged : disturbed or disordered in function, structure, or condition.

Like the way he starts with the answer he wants then shuffles and twist things to fit the answer.

TheseTruths

We’ve seen that Trump doesn’t toss around words lightly. The names he uses for people have meaning. He could have used “dishonest” or “rabid” or something, but “deranged” has a different meaning:

adjective

  1. insane
  2. disordered; disarranged.

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/deranged

It’s pretty serious for a public person to call someone insane. I wonder what Trump knows.

Supreme Court narrowly interprets ban on “encouraging or inducing” immigrants to remain unlawfully in the United States
https://www.scotusblog.com/2023/06/supreme-court-narrowly-interprets-ban-on-encouraging-or-inducing-immigrants-to-remain-unlawfully-in-the-united-states/

On Friday the Supreme Court issued its decision in United States v. Hansen. The question before the justices was whether a federal law that criminalizes “encouraging or inducing” an immigrant to come or remain in the United States unlawfully violates the First Amendment’s guarantee of the freedom of speech. The court narrowly interpreted the law to avoid the First Amendment concerns that would be raised if “encourage or induce” were given their ordinary, conversational meanings — and include meanings such as to “influence,” “encourage,” or “inspire with hope” — as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit had held they did.

The opinion also shed light on the newer justices’ views on the freedom of speech and the direction the newly reconfigured court may be pushing First Amendment law.

The First Amendment question came to the court in the case of Helaman Hansen, a California man who ran a scam promising noncitizens a path to citizenship through a fake “adult adoption” program. In 2017, Hansen was convicted on mail and wire fraud charges, but also on charges that he had encouraged or induced two noncitizens to stay in the United States after their visas expired.

Hansen challenged the constitutionality of the ban on “encouraging or inducing” immigration. He relied on a First Amendment doctrine known as the overbreadth doctrine, which allows a defendant to whom a law can be constitutionally applied to nonetheless challenge it as unconstitutional if the law makes a substantial amount of protected speech illegal, so that uncertainty about the scope of the law may chill protected speech.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit agreed with Hansen, prompting the Biden administration to go to the Supreme Court. After the oral argument in March, it appeared that a slim majority might restrict or do away with the overbreadth doctrine. But in an opinion by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, the court took a more restrained approach. While it did not strike a note in favor of speech protection, Barrett reaffirmed the overbreadth doctrine.

An expansive reading of the statute, the court recognized, would arguably criminalize political advocacy or general encouragement. To avoid that result, the majority interpreted “encourage or induce” to be terms of art that Congress used in a specialized, criminal-law sense — that is, as covering only what falls within the established common-law crimes of solicitation and facilitation. That means that someone can only run afoul of the statute if they intend for an immigrant to come or remain in the U.S. while knowing that is unlawful.

There is further discussion at the link. Bottom line: Hanson lost the case and SCOTUS ruled that intentionally soliciting and facilitating illegal immigration is against the law and does not violate a person’s First Amendment rights.

TheseTruths

SCOTUS is scheduled to issue some opinions tomorrow. This article outlines 10 cases that have yet to be decided.

https://amylhowe.com/2023/06/26/entering-the-final-week-with-10-cases-left-to-decide/

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

The “true threats” case (number 10) looks interesting! Some of the others – not so much.

kalbokalbs

Yea, I was less than impressed, with what SCOTUS chose to hear, rule on.

Disappointed more like it.

Agree, “true threats”, was the only one of interest.

There’s a lot of great stuff below them. Makes me think that maybe the politicized circuit courts are “withholding cases” from SCOTUS.

The locomotive in the header is the DeWitt Clinton — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeWitt_Clinton_(locomotive) . It was put in service in 1831 and named after the former Governor of New York, who had died in 1828. The Mohawk and Hudson line (incorporated in 1826) had previously been pulled by horses — you will note that the railcars are essentially carriages.

It should be noted that the Golden Spike marking the Transcontinental Railroad was driven in 1869 — only 38 years later.

This is similar to the Wright Brothers Kitty Hawk flight in 1903 compared to the 1938 introduction of the famed Supermarine Spitfire of the Battle of Britain.

In both cases, there was an explosion of sophistication and ability over a fairly short period of time.

If it was actually made of gold, it was removed about ten seconds after that.

If not by the railroad, then surely by a bystander, as soon as no one was looking 👍😁

It wasn’t actual gold, but was removed shortly thereafter — it’s now at Stanford University.

Leland Stanford was the actual person who drove in the ceremonial “Golden Spike” with a silver hammer.

YW My oldest son spent his first year of HS there at Henry Ford Academy 🙂 He was one of only a handful of white students in that school as one had to live in Wayne County & so many Detroiters used HFA as a way to get a decent education for their kids there. It wasn’t a bad school but some classes were Very unruly & Nathaniel couldn’t learn in that type of environment (that’s what he told us) w/ his ADHD issues, hence just that one year.

He tried out for basketball but didn’t make the team but later the coach called him after a number of players got scrubbed due to poor academics & he was able to join as a late addition. He was a skinny little pre-pubescent white kid playing with fully grown young black men & it was a Grueling challenge for him. He did develop a decent outside shot & got in a few scores in the handful of games he played in. Fun, but hard, times. He might have had the most family members there cheering for him on U of M’s Dearborn campus, where they played 🙂

One of his coaches was a solid Christian man who said he put those kids through “college level” paces & he was blown away that my son was quite familiar with a number of Christian rap artists. It was a very culturally stretching season for N but so good for him in a school of hard knocks kind of way!

Some of the main parent meetings were held in the scaled down replica of Independence Hall there, so it was Almost like touching a bit of history just being part of that extended institution!

“Burisma Accountant, Who Blew Whistle on Biden Crimes, Found Dead”

_____________

I’m thinking that probably qualifies as an assisted suicide.

Isn’t anyone with evidence against the Biden crime family, or the Clintons, or Hussein, who goes public before testifying, or before publishing their evidence, etc., looking for assistance?

Leftists believe in youthinasia (and everywhere else too).

And even if they didn’t, murder-for-hire to protect VSICs (very self-important crims) is part of the Crim party platform. Even before that plank was added, it was always understood.

So anyone who is a ‘whistle-blower’ against Murder, Inc., whose identity is known before testifying or publishing what they know, is like someone in Star Trek wearing a red shirt.

Or someone in a slasher film.

The girl who goes exploring, alone, at night, in the woods, by herself, in the dark, to look for whatever is causing all those blood-curdling screams, and the sound of chain saws, in the distance.

After everyone else in her group has wandered off in that same direction, one by one, never to return.

Because who wouldn’t?

That’s what regular people do.

Besides that, we’re talking about Ukraine, the democrat playground for murder, money laundering, bio-weapon development, sex trafficking, drug trafficking, general atrocities and crimes against humanity.

Both Brandon and his bag man are on public record making direct personal threats against people, for far less than possessing evidence that would expose a tiny sliver of their criminal activities.

She didn’t even have to actually have any incriminating evidence.

For those who are just having thoughts about ending it all, but can’t do it themselves, an increasingly popular alternative is to go public and say you have evidence against the Brandon crime family.

They’ll reach out, and take care of you.

They’re good like that.

Everybody knows.

Enormous power grab: Germany, France want to end veto rights in the EU this year.

In what may be the beginning of the end for European nations, Germany and France are determined to reform national rights, including the EU right of veto, this year. The debate has caused a stir in recent months, and in recent weeks, the measure has been put back on the agenda.

France and Germany are convinced that a large-scale institutional reform of the European Union, including the abolition of the veto on European Council votes, could be achieved this year, French EU Affairs Minister Laurence Boone and German Minister of State Anna Lührmann told Euractiv.

The two ministers said that both countries consider it important to abolish unanimous voting in the European Council in areas such as foreign policy and taxation before the enlargement of the European Union. This could mean, for example, that Brussels would be able to implement a flat tax rate across the EU or even involve itself more deeply in the war, both moves that Hungary has rejected and in some cases even deployed its veto to stop.

Paris and Berlin claim abolishing the veto is a change that is possible without amending the EU treaties, a point hotly contested by a number of European parties, as it would not only give Brussels enormous power but also the largest states, such as Germany and France. This would subsequently allow for the EU to enact a liberal immigration policy, green rules and various other progressive goals without any hindrance from Hungary and other smaller, conservative nations.”

PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD

Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.

I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.

Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.

May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.

With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.

Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me. 

Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

From the article: “However, it’s clear that the idea behind the sweeping system of digital surveillance combined with thousands or even millions of subtle rewards and punishments built into the online experience, is to condition people to censor themselves. In fact, after enough time online, users will lose both the knowledge and the vocabulary they would need to even have politically dangerous thoughts.”

This is exactly why I am using, and with greater frequency, the language they don’t like.

Fag, homo, tranny, all of it. Bringing the old vocabulary back, and normalizing it again.

I sense what they are describing above, everywhere, all the time, and the instinctive response is to go the opposite direction, to do more of what they attempt to silence. What they call ‘politically dangerous’ is what we ought to be doing.

If we want to get back to normal, we have to do what was normal, back when things were normal.

That must include re-stigmatizing perversion and the grotesquely immoral.

A large part of the battle takes place in the arena of language, at least as far as influencing the ostriches (normies) is concerned.

Incredible daily, DePat. So much content, so little time. I plan to get to more of it. Glad you linked The Patriot Chronicles – Francis Marion story. I read that last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. I urge everybody to read.

Some of my ancestors were amongst those Scots-Irish. There are other folks on here with similar lineages to the backgrounds of those patriots. Our SC QTree posters probably know the history well along with the Santee/PeeDee region from which his work for America originated.

Currently we make the same choice from the precipice that Marion and his patriots as well as those who sided with the Tories made. The choice identifies which side you are on and all are revealed for who they are. There is no neutrality. So yes, seeing the precipice is always necessary.

FBI Accused of Threatening Jan. 6 Dissenters

By Noah DeGarmo – Staff Writer

Jun 27, 2023

https://dallasexpress.com/national/fbi-accused-of-threatening-jan-6-dissenters/

The FBI threatened to fire agents for criticizing the bureau’s biased approach to investigating the January 6 Capitol protests, according to an agency whistleblower’s allegations.
The whistleblower reportedly claimed FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate threatened to fire employees who said the agency’s investigation into the events in the U.S. Capitol building on January 6, 2021, was notably different from its investigation into the Black Lives Matter protests that occurred throughout the nation following the killing of George Floyd.

The anonymous FBI whistleblower claimed in an affidavit to Congress that Abbate threatened employees during a February 2021 video teleconference with agents in charge of the bureau’s 56 field offices, one of which is in Dallas.
According to the affidavit, Abbate heard some employees were questioning the FBI’s response to January 6 and contrasting it “with the response to the post-George Floyd protests and riots in the summer of 2020.”
“Abbate told the audience that anyone who questions the FBI’s response to his decisions regarding the response to January 6th did not belong in the FBI and should find a different job,” the document alleges. “He stated that the FBI’s response to January 6th was consistent with the response to the Summer 2020 riots.”
The deputy director reportedly challenged all employees who did not agree to call him “personally and he would set them straight.”
The whistleblower added that they “have never seen a direct threat like that any other time.”
“It was chilling and personal, communicating clearly that there would be consequences for anyone that questioned his direction,” they shared.

“Everything woke turns to $#!+”

The divisive and polarizing ideology is even dividing the UU’s

religionnews.com/2023/06/26/unitarian-universalism-revisits-identity-values-at-2023-gathering/

At this year’s General Assembly, which met both online and in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, last week, more than 86% of the delegates at the meeting voted to continue the work of revising the covenant that binds UU congregations. Nearly everyone — 95.5% — agreed to make the Rev. Sofía Betancourt the first openly queer person and first woman of color to serve as president.

But divisions were visible at the meeting. A fossil fuel divestment resolution put forward by a young, queer, multiracial collective, who represent an influx of younger and non-white members, was voted down by roughly 68% of delegates.

Along with UUA leadership, the youth movement has also brought with it a more outspoken commitment to anti-racism, an issue that has caused upset for several years. In 2017, Unitarian Universalist Association President Peter Morales resigned in response to controversy over racial disparities in UUA hiring practices. Three years later, a commission published a report called Widening the Circle of Concern, which declared anti-racism to be at the heart of the UU faith tradition.

While most UUs embraced the report, some members felt the emphasis on race was itself divisive. “I feel incredible sadness that they have managed to take a goal that all UUs embrace — anti-racism — and make it divisive by basing it on post-modern critical race theory, in which you divide people always into the oppressed or the oppressor,” said Patricia Mohr, who is a member of a UU congregation in South Carolina and attended the meeting in Pittsburgh.

Good luck guys.

Wokism is a jealous god that brooks no competition.

NYC Pride Marchers Chant: ‘We’re Coming for Your Children’

https://catholicvote.org/nyc-pride-marchers-coming-for-children/

CV NEWS FEED // At an annual “pride” parade in New York City last week, marchers chanted “We’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for your children.”

On June 23, hundreds of “drag queens” and other LGBTQ activists marched in a parade in Manhattan. The parade marked the beginning of NYC’s “pride weekend.” 

. . . Online videos show marchers chanting “We’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for your children.”

The chant will likely draw comparisons to the July 2021 controversy when a gay men’s choir performed a song titled “We’re coming for your children” in San Francisco.

World leading diamond company De Beers Group advertising supports HuffPost woke agenda and vitriolic, leftist propaganda.

https://www.floridafamily.org/full_article.php?article_no=1094

BuzzFeed is HuffPost’s parent company. As you can see from the BuzzFeed stock chart, the company is crashing. BuzzFeed took control of HuffPost from Verizon in early 2021. Verizon all but gave HuffPost away to BuzzFeed in order to eliminate HuffPost’s annual losses of around $20 million.  Jonah Peretti, BuzzFeed CEO said. “Though BuzzFeed is a profitable company, we don’t have the resources to support another two years of losses.”

HuffPost.com is a leading leftist propaganda machine in America. CNN garners up to 500K viewers on a good day. On the other hand HuffPost has approximately 1.5 million visitors per month many of whom have signed up for the leftist’s sites push notifications.

HuffPost has too many leftist gaslighting articles to report in one article or email. However, here is one example. On November 24, 2023 HuffPost published an article that once again falsely claimed that Tucker Carlson favors Russia and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s.  The article is titled Kinzinger: Wagner Leader’s Russia Challenge A ‘Massive Blow’ To Tucker Carlson.  HuffPost is deliberately tarnishing Tucker Carlson in the eyes of leftist readers with lies.  

HuffPost.com feeds its readers with deceitful and hateful propaganda which likely inspires disdain toward other Americans and promotes Islamist propaganda. Huffpost.com routinely publishes many venomous articles that inflame negative attitudes towards Christians, Jews, American troops, police and white people. These articles certainly inspire division at the least and disdain for other American citizens at the worst. HuffPost publishes dangerous Islamist propaganda that has defended misogynistic Sharia law, defended the Muslim Brotherhood, fundraised for the Council on American Islamic Relations, blamed Christians for worldwide conflict with Muslims, promoted an anti-Semitic blog and encouraged Islamist demagoguery. Examples of HuffPost’s vitriolic, leftist hate and Islamist propaganda articles are posted here at this floridafamily.org article.

Worldwide leading diamond company De Beers Group has advertised its Forevermark and Lightbox Jewelry at HuffPost off and on for years.  The De Beers Group website states “We’re the world’s leading diamond company, owned 85 per cent by Anglo American and 15 per cent by the Government of the Republic of Botswana.” Florida Family Association sent numerous emails to express concern to De Beers Group and Anglo American officials regarding its advertising support for HuffPost. However, the company continues to advertise. De Beers Group certainly has the right to advertise on whatever shows it chooses. Likewise, you have the same right to voice concern and not patronize companies that support racist, anti-white program content.

Florida Family Association has prepared an email for you to send to encourage De Beers Group and majority owner Anglo American officials to stop supporting the woke agenda and vitriolic, leftist propaganda at Huffpost.com.

Huffpo knows that the people know, thusly where they had a comment section for every story, they have none now going on some 3 to 6 years. Same across the board for all but a very tiny amount of leftists sites.

Added to top line of letter.

Is Being Conservative Healthier?
S.A. McCarthy
June 24, 2023

https://washingtonstand.com/commentary/is-being-conservative-healthier

A recent scientific study is declaring conservative women are more attractive than leftist women. The great question posed by this finding is one that science cannot answer: Why?

A Danish study published in Scientific Reports in March used artificial intelligence to analyze thousands of photos of Danish political candidates and discovered that “For females … high attractiveness scores were found among those the model [program] identified as likely to be conservative.” The AI program found that left-wing women who were analyzed typically displayed contempt and were considered less attractive by the AI program’s standards. Those findings matched up with rankings performed separately by humans.

The study’s authors went on to write, “Attractiveness was not the only correlate of model-predicted ideology. We also found that expressing happiness is associated with conservatism for both genders.” Both conservative men and women were found to smile more, while leftist politicians of both sexes displayed contempt and neutrality in their facial expressions.

The study’s authors posited that their findings are most important in considering potential invasions of privacy on the part of AI. While ethical considerations over the use of this new technology are crucial, of course, another important question to ask is what these findings mean about conservative and leftist people themselves and the lifestyles that they lead.

Publisher says American Library Association is offering guidance on disrupting conservative events

Since public libraries have such a hit on their hands with Drag Queen Story Hour, some Christian conservatives had the idea to do something similar. They picked a date, but publisher Brave Books says it has evidence that the American Library Association is spreading guidance on how to sabotage conservative and Christian book-reading events across the country. We’re not at all shocked, seeing how they reacted to backlash against drag queens reading to little children.

“Didn’t expect, bitches?” or the essence of the Saturday manifestation based on available facts. Taking advantage of confusion of the West and AFU from the “mutiny in a country with nuclear weapons,” Russia transferred its most combat-ready grouping to a neighboring country. Not only in our army, but perhaps in the rest of the world.

At the moment, the strength of the army of Belarus is about 45 thousand people and about 300 thousand in reserve. This army has never fought, in its entire history, and we can assume its actual combat readiness. Now, the Company’s specialists will tell and show what a modern war looks like. And will teach.

Because Bat’ka realized that he would not be able to stay away from conflict between Russia / Ukraine + 50 countries. Belarus is next.

Special greetings to Poland. The Poles planned to join the conflict in the event of our counteroffensive. Now they have a seasoned, battle-tested army in their underbelly, capable of moving very quickly “at the pace of a blitzkrieg” and winning battles in urban areas and beyond. And there is one nuance, as in the old joke – if Poland has to fight with the PMC, it is not a given that the rest of NATO members on the Council will support and provide active assistance to the Poles. Find reasons to refuse. Because this brazen and angry “private military company” suddenly turned out to be shielded by a nuclear umbrella and it is quite possible to receive a dozen tactical charges in response to aggression. And maybe not tactical, depending on the situation.

Kiev also big hello. It should expect to be cut off from the West on land. The Balts should forget about Kaliningrad, in general, don’t even think about it.

Such a squiggle formed in the heart of Europe. Didn’t expect, bitches?”

My trick for cleaning up after cutting hot peppers:

Sprinkle some baking soda on your hands and add a bit of water. Scrub your hands really well with the paste. It seems to neutralize the burn, so I don’t accidentally get it in my eyes.

I’ve considered it, but I don’t like wearing gloves!

Even in winter, I wear fingerless ones.

Cuppa Covfefe

If the peppers are hot enough (e.g. Carolina Reaper), they’ll end up that way anyway 😀

There are chili-corers that can remove the seeds and veins… (but that takes away all the heat and fun 🙂 )…. another thought would be any kind of grease-cutter, like the citrus stuff for mechanics…

(then that’s probably irritating, too)…

Worst mistake is carbonated beverages, be they beer, cola, or tonic water… The curry does burn its way through, though…]….

Good read.

Sticking with door #3.

Scenario #3 – A Strategic Reallocation
Hoodwinking the West, as Wagner is very publicly moved into Belarus. <<< Before the West can even do press releases, whining about it.

Putin, calls “Check”. Kiev not so far away. May keep US/UK from pursuing Crimea.

Dunderheads in the West, foiled again.

Perhaps, hopefully, we won’t have WW III.

Both positive AND, thought the bottom line was funny.

But this is exactly what is being pushed by the most openly hostile members of NATO — namely UK Foreign Minister James Cleverly and German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock. At the same time the Brits are nearly as mad at President Joe Biden as they are at Putin himself.

Why? Because Biden is the one that blocked UK Defense Minister (and IQ 60 mouth-breathing moron!) Ben Wallace from taking over for Jens Stoltenberg as NATO’s General Secretary. This was supposed to happen next month. It’s been put on hold and Stoltenberg has been urged by Biden to stay on for another year.

The Brits are pushing the world into war.

Wallace becoming NATO Chief would ensure this.

The only good news here is that France’s military, as much as likely the American’s, would rather be caught dead in a bathroom with an underaged hooker and pile of blow than have a Brit running this war.

(OK, warped, but still funny.)

Ground report: I decided I cannot do tech writing/editing contracts with fed gov anymore. I neither trust or respect what those at the top are doing. So in rethinking how I want to stay busy, I settled on creating a curation website with social media groups in Facebook and Twitter to start with. I was able to get the https://www.celebratefreedom.us domain and prepaid for the next three years. Our 250th anniversary of our republic is 3 years away and hopefully, people could use this as a central site or social media group to see what others at the family/local/state level doing to celebrate. Stress levels are a little high for me so this site won’t be a place for politics, but for positive encouragement.

I have the preliminary home page designed and accessible. I’m using semicolonweb’s Canvas HTML5 templates that lets me do stuff far beyond my own skillset. The filters are working and were much simpler to customize than I had expected.

I would love to have any suggestions or contributions. These three items: website, twitter acct, and facebook group are keeping me busy. If anyone has the time and inclination to host a group on other social media sites, I would be thrilled to add a link on my website and visit sometimes. There’s Gab and Truth Social plus Rumble. I did set up my own Locals account with Stripe for ecommerce. I need a good logo and later might make t-shirts and hats to sell. Catturd told us that he can’t make a profit from the nice catturd mugs he had made. He found someone in the US to make them but they weigh about a pound, so with shipping and cost, he can’t afford to make more.

I don’t want to recreate cool things that are already available on the Internet, but just point to those places and then write my own web pages for subjects that deserve more content. Right now, here’s the filters (or general categories): Celebrate, Explore, Faith, History, Inspire, Learn, Places, Resources, Self-Reliance, and Strive. Faith will get its own page with new content and links to existing sites. I’m working on a Self-Reliance page and will spotlight my school friend’s beautiful garden and tips she’s sharing with us on Facebook. I could see sharing healthcare tips you guys share.

Okay, back to staying busy! Loved your post today, DePat!!!

I have one of his and think he has more and might sell them to “littermates” who listen to his and Jewels Jones’ daily chat show. I listen on Rumble. It is good to know there is a manufacturer or three out there with that ability.

President Trump mentioned it again recently and had organized a federal org to plan from the top down, which gave me the idea.They are not very active in the OBiden admin and I just think our celebrations should be bottom up. https://america250.org I don’t want government deciding how we want to celebrate. We can plan these things outside government control.

Eeeep, you’re the best Wolf! Thank you so much. Even though this is just a start, it already has links to some cool things like the history, art, and trains. I love the trains. I need to find a post by an art council who had a benefit event for artists to create scenic landscapes on private property. I think they would be given a box lunch. Americans are creative people and we should focus on all the good Americans offer.

Are you familiar with Whyte notation for trains? It comes in handy in a lot of situations, like “what kind of locomotive did they have at that place? Oh, an American, 4-4-0.”

Thank you, cthulhu! No, I haven’t run across Whyte notation. I’m saving this to add to a Trains page because the is a lot of cool stuff about them. I’d say it’s in my top 5 topics pages to write for the site.

Barb Meier

Thought I replied to you, but don’t see it now so thanks cthulhu! I’ve saved a copy of your post in the Trains folder to give you a hat tip when I write up the Trains page. hehe you guys are wonderful!!!

I think some Hudson River School artists recorded many places in America in raw natural beauty & in various stages of “progress”. We have an Albert Biersdadt mountain-scape prominently displayed in our home.

Those precious glimpses of America(ana) are timeless & priceless!

Great, thank you Wolf! So now, I’ve started a trains folder and a swag folder to save all this info and get it grouped. That way, when I have time to pursue each task, I’ll have all the related info and provide sourcing or at least a hat tip, as appropriate. I’ll save this article to provide a source.

I wonder how the mug maker has done through all these dicey times. I’ve saved a local copy of the article, Wolf. I think I should have a link to the article and then it would be interesting to follow-up 11 years later to see how they are doing now. I don’t know where East Liverpool is as compared to where the train derailed. If we only had news people digging into these. I had talked with editors at Epoch Times in the past but I would have needed to be an author and that means traveling all around Virginia. Too much travel for me at my age. Perhaps someone there would be interested in follow-up article though. So many ideas!!

Barb Meier

I forwarded the link to editors at Epoch Times in case it interests one of their regional reporters to follow up. I also added my new website address, twitter, and FB account and group IDs to my email signature. hehe…

You’re off to a great start!

Thank you, TT! i have trouble even remembering what a 250th anniversary is called. hehe… it is more than a mouthful for me: Semiquincentennial but it’s a big deal to me and I hope we hold onto our freedom for at least the next three years. 😎  So I want to spread seeds of freedom in any way I can.

The timing is really good to put the skids under the communist fail-coup and ship it back to 1917. 😉

Ship it back to 1916 and then abort it. Save a lot of grief and lives.

Barb Meier

Yes, we love our God-given freedom and the communists cannot take it away.

That’s the first time I’ve heard of semiquincentennial. Half of quin (5) centennial (100), I guess. I just looked it up on Wiki, and that’s what it says, too. Dictionaries don’t even have it. But I think we should start using it. And yes, it’s a big deal for America!

What a good idea! Congratulations!
