The governor of Virginia says that it’s none of a parent’s business what their kids are learning in school.
I agree with the author: this is why I no longer teach. I just could not play politics with your kids.

Informants
A US Capitol Police officer’s friend of 40 years worried he’d “fallen into a cult” and reported the officer to the FBI for telling Trump supporters where the secure locations of lawmakers were.
You’d think you’d know someone after 40 years of friendship. Turning him in was for his own good, you see. To save him from the cult.
Economy
Welcome to the Kubuki Theater
Every couple of years, the Democrats and the Republicans engage in this stupid play. The plot is always the same: The country has borrowed to its supposed “debt ceiling,” and the Democrats want to raise it. The Republicans “refuse” to do so unless they get some concessions. The government gets “shut down” while they argue about it, until the Democrats eventually make some sort of deal, then the Republicans declare victory, raise the debt ceiling, and everyone pats themselves on the back.
Except the debt ceiling, concessions, the shut down, refusal, all of it, is fake. None of it actually exists, nor did anything actually change. It’s all theater.
Police State
No Way
Police in Florida are going door to door looking for a cop killer. That includes ATF agents searching people’s homes. I understand that they want to catch a dangerous man, but it will be a cold day in hell before I voluntarily allow one of those murderous cocksuckers from the ATF into my house.
The same goes for any cops. There is no criminal fugitive in here, I am not being held hostage. Now piss off.
COVID
Control is the End Game
Like Australia, in Italy you must accept the vaccine passport that includes an app on your cell phone that tracks your location. If you fail to get this app, your employer can’t fire you. Of course, they can’t pay you, either.
If you refuse this tracking device and the vaccine that goes with it, you can’t participate in society. No dining out, no entering any government building or business, no paycheck. You will be an unperson.
That is the endgame: Your entire life will be controlled by the government.

Socialism for Everyone but Socialists
The rich should pay their fair share, says the ‘big guy’ who dodged half a million in taxes and his son, who was shaking down foreign governments for millions.
Gaming the Courts
Unintended Consequences
A judge in Florida has ruled that, since immigration is covered under Federal law, it is unconstitutional for state and local police to assist Federal authorities in enforcing that law, even to the point that they cannot hand illegal immigrants over to Federal authorities. It also allows the creation of Sanctuary cities:
Consistent with the Court’s Omnibus order on the parties’ cross-motions for summary judgment, Defendants are PERMANENTLY ENJOINED from enforcing the Transport Requirement, Fla. Stat. § 908.104(4), because this statutory provision is preempted by federal immigration law and is therefore unconstitutional.
The unintended part comes here: In light of this ruling, what other laws would be exclusively preempted by Federal law, thus making them outside of local jurisdiction? Gun laws? Marijuana? Drug laws? Considering that Federal law is so broad, this ruling makes virtually every state law and ordinance unconstitutional, while making local and state police virtually powerless.
Perhaps that’s been the plan all along. Seize Federal power, then declare the states to be powerless.
Military
The Purge Continues
I recently asked “Can you imagine how that would go today?” about a sailor who was brought up on charges for saying he was “on the pussy watch” while serving as the sentry in front of the women’s barracks. Well, now we know. Anyone in the military who is accused of sexual harassment will be summarily discharged, as the military will have civilian oversight that will investigate charges of sexual harassment:
For sexual harassment cases, it also calls for independent trained investigators and the mandatory discharge of those who engage in sexual harassment.
I once had a boss who gave us a sexual harassment class. He summed it up perfectly: “Sexual harassment is whatever the woman says it is.” Of course, he said that back in the 90’s. Today, the accuser will also be one of the LGTBQHRY… mafia. Say anything that a person under your command doesn’t like, and your career is over.
Now that isn’t to say that all claims of sexual harassment are bogus. Some men are pigs who will use rank to get sexual favors. However, the vast majority of sexual harassment complaints are not because of that. The vast majority are for perceived slights that exist more in the mind of the accuser than anywhere else.
This is just another tool that will be used to eliminate those who are politically unreliable from the ranks of the military.

Felony for refusing the jab
The President is proposing to court martial and dishonorably discharge any service members who refuse the jab. A dishonorable discharge is a felony conviction.

Genocide requires unarmed victims
Remember, civilian disarmament has always preceded genocide in authoritarian states.
