On Hearing President Trump in Person —
And Not Hating It
Posted By: Beardo, 8/21/2023 11:07:47 PM
Today is a new low for an America that is being dragged through every humiliation, in its re-christening as a thoroughgoing Banana Republic. (snip) So I wondered a month ago, as wind soughed softly on that warm New Jersey evening: why is he doing this? As he often notes himself — he has a great life, and he does not need to run again. And I could not help, though it was against every conditioned reflex of many years, considering: Maybe he is doing this because he loves his country.

America’s largest teachers union “coached” teachers on how to expose students to gender identity in the curriculum, according to a new report.
The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) “coached its members on how to inject gender identity politics into classroom teaching,” said the report published Wednesday by the conservative Defense of Freedom Institute. (snip) The AFT along with the nation’s second largest union, the National Education Association (NEA), are both wholly committed to pushing radical gender ideology in schools, the report says.
Together, the two largest teachers unions represent nearly five million public school teachers across the country.
Calls are being made for Florida’s inspector general to investigate Disney World’s former special district board after allegations arose that members used millions in taxpayer funds for season passes and other perks, the New York Post reported.
The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District revealed to the inspector general Monday that members of the board that used to oversee Walt Disney World’s Reedy Creek Improvement District (RCID) allegedly spent more than $2 million in taxpayer funds last fiscal year on employee perks, the New York Post reported.
Among the perks that members and employees reportedly enjoyed were tickets amounting to $492,382.96, as well as discounts on hotel stays, merchandise, and food and beverages.
Left-wing activist and Harvard prodigy David Hogg said he would "much rather own a Porsche and have a Portuguese water dog and golden doodle" than have children because it's "better for the environment," comments that reflect a broad consensus among college-educated liberals whose mental health has markedly declined since 2016. "I'm never planning on having kids," Hogg wrote in a bizarre Twitter thread. (snip) Having children these days is like owning a boat, Hogg suggested before outlining his vision for a terrifying future of childless decadence. (snip) This is the future liberals want -

Six California college professors are suing the state over diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) requirements they say force them to take the government’s view on “politically charged” topics. (snip) “I’m a professor of chemistry. How am I supposed to incorporate DEI into my classroom instruction?” said Reedley College professor Bill Blanken. “What’s the ‘anti-racist’ perspective on the atomic mass of boron?”
The lawsuit says that Blanken does not believe that DEIA principles should be incorporated into his chemistry classes, saying he believes that it would be “pedagogically unsound and disruptive” to do so.

Syndrome, Racism 18 replies
Left-wing columnists are back on the attack against the movie The Blind Side, calling it racist and an example of “white savior” syndrome as the recriminations between ex-NFL player Michael Oher and the Tuohy family continue to echo in the press and soon in the courtroom.
The renewed attack by liberals on the 2009 film came after ex-NFL player Michael Oher, who is black, filed a lawsuit alleging that the Tuohy family, who are white, withheld an unknown amount of money from him in profits from the film as well as lying to him about adopting him as a member of the family.
David Hand, the son of the director for Disney’s original 1937 animated classic Snow White, has come out against the remake starring actress Rachel Zegler, calling it an “insulting” blight on the film his father helped conceive.
Speaking to The Telegraph, David Hand said that he totally disagrees with the concept of the new Snow White, which eliminated the seven dwarfs in favor of “seven magical creatures” and allegedly eliminated Snow White’s desire to find true love from a handsome prince. (snip) "they’re making up new woke things and I’m just not into any of that,” he said. “I find it quite frankly a bit insulting"
Pro-life advocacy group Ohio Right to Life has fired communications director Elizabeth Marbach after her online dispute with Republican Ohio Rep. Max Miller. Miller, who is Jewish, accused Marbach of religious bigotry Tuesday in response to a tweet from Marbach, which read, “There’s no hope for any of us outside of having faith in Jesus Christ alone.” (snip) Marbach was offered the chance to resign from the pro-life advocacy organization twice, and was fired after she declined, according to the Republic Sentinel. (snip) Miller’s wife, Emily Moreno Miller, sits on the board of Ohio Right to Life.
Hawaiian Electric, the utility company whose power line reportedly played a role in the Hawaiian fires, appears to have focused on green energy development while neglecting to adhere to its own assessment that it needed to increase the safety of its existing infrastructure, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.
The company concluded that it needed to take much more aggressive action to ensure that its hardware did not emit sparks after the 2019 wildfire season, which was one of the worst recorded in the island of Maui’s history, according to the WSJ.
Herman Andaya, the administrator of Maui’s Emergency Management Agency (EMA), had no prior experience in disaster response before taking on his role in the county government’s crisis response agency, according to CBS News.
The EMA is reportedly the agency responsible for setting off emergency sirens which did not blare as devastating wildfires engulfed huge swaths of Maui and killed at least 110 people, CBS News reported. Andaya was reportedly hired for the job in 2017, beating out 40 other qualified candidates for the role, according to local outlet Maui Now.
The agency headed by M. Kaleo Manuel, the deputy director of the water resource management commission for Hawaii’s Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR), delayed a requested diversion of water to fight the Maui wildfires on the grounds that such a diversion may have affected a local farmer, according to a letter sent by a Hawaiian water management company. (snip) there was a five-hour gap between the company’s 1 p.m. request to divert water from streams in order to assist the Maui Fire Department (MFD) in its effort to battle the blazes and the agency’s 6 p.m. approval of the request.
Representative Ilhan Omar, the "Squad" member with a history of making anti-Semitic comments about American support for Israel, attended the 2022 World Cup on a trip funded by Qatar, the oil-rich Gulf nation that bankrolls the terrorist group Hamas.
The Qatari government paid for the lodging and food for Omar from Nov. 19-23, according to her financial disclosures. The Minnesota Democrat met with Qatari officials and posted a photo from a World Cup match she attended with her husband and former British soccer star David Beckham.

Hawaii Democrat Governor Josh Green took to “Face the Nation” Sunday to agree with host Margaret Brennan’s assertion that climate change “amplified” Maui’s horrific wildfires. However, there were multiple failures on many fronts by authorities, including warning sirens that didn’t go off, delays of much-needed water because of “equity concerns,” negligence by a power company, and disaster officials who had no experience in emergency management. Green: "GOVERNOR JOSH GREEN: So it's usually tsunamis and hurricanes [that are a danger to Hawaii]. For perspective, we've had six fire emergencies this August. We had six fire emergencies between 1953 and 2003. That's how -- how fast things are changing.
Dick’s Sporting Goods Inc.’s stock tumbled 22% Tuesday, after the retailer’s second-quarter profit missed consensus by a wide margin, while sales also fell short., and the company squarely blamed theft for its woes.
It was the company’s first earnings miss in three years. The last time Dick’s missed profit and sales consensus was in April of 2020, when it was reporting first-quarter earnings for that year.
“While we posted another double-digit EBT margin, our Q2 profitability was short of our expectations due in large part to the impact of elevated inventory shrink, an increasingly serious issue impacting many retailers,” said CEO Lauren Hobart in a statement.
Former President Donald Trump is displaying his "sense of entitlement" by deciding to not participate in the 2024 GOP presidential primary debates, according to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Trump announced in a Truth Social post on Sunday that he would "not be doing" any of the Republican debates, while boasting that "the public knows who I am & what a successful Presidency I had." The former president previously indicated that he would be skipping the first debate, which is set to take place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Wednesday.
The decision to skip the debates quickly drew condemnation from Trump critics

As RedState reported, President Joe Biden finally made it to Maui, having left his second vacation of the month to make a half-day trip to the island. That comes after devastating fires left over a hundred people confirmed dead with nearly a thousand still missing, including what is assumed to be many children.
From the moment Biden touched down, it was apparent that he wasn't taking the situation seriously (if he even knew why he was there), and once he started to speak, things only got worse.
In his first public appearance, the president decided to joke about how hot the ground was. He also brought up the death
MSNBC anchor Joy Reid said Monday on her show “The ReidOut” that MAGA was a cult and former President Donald Trump is the “Jim Jones to their Kool-Aid crew.”
Reid said, “The first Republican presidential primary debate is Wednesday but a certain four-times indicted former president plans to skip the Fox hosted affair. Trump campaign adviser told NBC News that Trump will be at his Bedminster club that night instead. In an apparent jab at Fox, Trump has already recorded an interview with Tucker Carlson.”
She continued, “Will primary voters even watch if Trump’s not there. They made their choice clear, according to recent polls.
FBI lovebird Peter Strzok has a special little cold spot for President Trump, and not just because he got fired for unprofessional behavior on while on the government's dime during Trump's term of office.
He hates the guy insanely, enough to plot against him with his famous "insurance policy" as he told the FBI official he was having an affair with, and all one needs to do to see it now is to look through the convoluted logic of his Trump-hating tweets. His banner picture at the top of his Twitter account features legal indictment papers of Trump.
So he tweeted this one:
In what could be described as the worst-kept secret in politics, former President Donald Trump has decided he will not participate in the Republican presidential debates. He cited his commanding double-digit lead in Republican primary polls as the main reason for not participating. It would be the second presidential election cycle in which Trump broke tradition and skipped a debate. However, while the Trump campaign may think it’s a shrewd political maneuver, it’s actually self-destructive insofar as it establishes a precedent for President Joe Biden to skip debating Trump (assuming he is the GOP nominee) in the general election.
Four fifths of New Yorkers say the recent influx of migrants is a 'serious problem' for the state, with many calling newcomers a 'burden' and souring on President Joe Biden's Democratic Party.
Fully 82 percent of Empire State voters said the stream of some 100,000 asylum seekers was a concern, and more than half of them — 54 percent — said it was 'very serious,' a Siena College poll shows.
When asked about the settling of migrants in New York these past two decades, nearly half of respondents — 46 percent — called them a 'burden' on resources. Less than a third called them a 'benefit.'
Video reposted by Fox News reporter Will Cain (who owns property in Maui) shows a group of angry Maui fire survivors giving the middle finger and hurling f-bombs at Joe Biden as his motorcade passed by. It is just one of many hostile receptions given Biden after he took two vacations and repeatedly said “no comment” before finally visiting the fire ravaged Hawaiian island after nearly two weeks.(Photo) “People keep asking me what the attitude is of people in Maui toward Biden. I’ve heard numerous times today about the traffic and how locked down the island is before his arrival.
The man who set fire to Raleigh homeowner John Kane’s “Trump Won” yard sign has been identified.
Homeowner John Kane posted surveillance video of the fiery assault on his property and asked for help in identifying the criminal arsonist. A bicyclist is seen riding up to the Raleigh property on August 12 and kicking the Trump sign.
After failing to destroy the Trump sign the first time around, the same bicyclist returned, this time at 4 AM in the morning, to light the sign on fire.
A reward for $1,000 was offered for anyone who identified the criminal.
Joe Biden on Monday made a shambolic tour of Hawaii - in keeping with his tone-deaf and error-ridden first response to the wildfires.
Two weeks after the worst U.S. wildfires in a century, the president and his wife Jill landed on Maui to be met with screams of 'F*** you!' as his motorcade passed.
Some were seen waving Trump 2024 flags.The 80-year-old only compounded the anger by delivering a garbled speech at a charred sacred Banyan tree to speak in meandering terms about his own loss - that of his wife and baby daughter in 1972 - and then
