Randi Weingarten deserves the fury of
parents across the nation
Posted By: mc squared, 3/13/2025 11:15:49 AM
American Federation of Teachers honcho Randi Weingarten’s sudden outrage over Team Trump’s plan to abolish the federal Department of Education is simply about losing her own power and influence — not any risk to the kids. America’s “competitors — and adversaries — are no doubt cheering President Donald Trump’s plan to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education,” Weingarten asserts in an MSNBC column, pretending the DOE “helps give all children in the United States access to the great public school education they deserve.” [snip] “A gutted department would mean fewer teachers, more crowded classrooms and increased mental health and behavioral challenges for students,” she lies.

A key aide to former President Joe Biden may have exceeded their authority by liberally using an autopen to sign official documents, according to two former White House sources, as President Trump’s aides have set up “far more restrictive” rules governing the use of the mechanical device.
A document obtained by The Post outlines the narrow set of circumstances in which Trump’s signature can be affixed to documents, following controversy this week kicked off by a Heritage Foundation analysis of Biden signatures on various records, including last-minute pardons.
A small group of officials under both Biden and Trump have been delegated the power to get documents “signed” robotically,

Member Identifies As a Turtle and I Have Questions 18 replies
This is going to be a shell of a story.
A member of Oregon’s Health Authority (OHA), an advisory board that deals with mental health policy, identified as a turtle during a recent state panel meeting.
J.D. Holt, who also goes by “J.D. Terrapin” on Facebook, opened her remarks by saying, “Hello everybody, it's JD. I use they, them and turtle for my pronouns. I'm in the Springfield-Eugene area and I get to be part of the council.”
No seriously, I’m not making that up. It really happened.
See? It’s on video. The council was appointed by OHA Director Sejal Hathi and was created to consult with Oregon’s government on mental health policies,
The first person arrested under Florida’s new immigration law is in the Brevard County jail.
The state Board of Immigration Enforcement posted on X last night that Felipe Hernandez-Chavarin was arrested for trespassing and for re-entering the United States illegally.
An arrest report says a Fish and Wildlife officer saw Hernandez-Chavarin enter a locked gate with a ‘no trespassing’ sign next to it at Willowbrook Farms in Palm Bay on Tuesday.
The officer said Hernandez-Chavarin was there to catch fish with a net in the farm’s canals.
Once at the jail, the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office confirmed he had also been deported from the U.S. in 2019, so the illegal re-entry charge was added.

Tim Walz Barrels Toward 2028 With Deranged

Trump Rant, Manages to Expose Himself

If failed vice-presidential candidate and current Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) made his intention to run in 2028 any clearer, it'd require him to rip his shirt off and paint it on his chest. He's clearly working toward a presidential run after faceplanting with Kamala Harris, and his strategy appears to be shouting and screaming his way to the nomination.
I'm less than convinced that will pay off for him, but here we go. America's finger-wagger-in-chief is on the case of Department of Education cuts, and he's furious at President Donald Trump about it.

I've written and talked for some years now about the emerging "Post-Democratic Era". But it has advanced significantly in recent months. On Sunday, Romania's "Central Electoral Bureau" ruled that Călin Georgescu was ineligible to be on the presidential ballot on the grounds that he "doesn't meet the conditions of legality" because he "violated the very obligation to defend democracy, which is based precisely on fair, honest and impartial elections." Mr Georgescu is ahead in all the polls. [snip] The former EU Commissioner Thierry Breton could not restrain himself from boasting about the Eurocrats' ability to overrule the voice of the people:

Sammy Woodhouse likes to say, she's so bored with living in Groundhog Day.
I know the feeling. Reading today's newspapers is like listening to an oldies station with only fifteen records: things that I first wrote about twenty years ago are presented as stunning new revelations that will knock your socks off - even though my socks fell off circa 2007. Here's the latest - and, as with Sammy's Muslim paedo rape-gangs, it's all down to "cultural sensitivity". Headline from The Daily Telegraph: 'I treat children with life-limiting conditions from cousin marriages – but we can't talk about it'
We know about the liberal media cover-up regarding Joe Biden’s mental health. It wasn’t a mid-way through his term crisis either. On day one, his staff noticed he was losing his marbles and did whatever they could to hide this from the public. Toward the end, it was clear to voters that Biden had retreated into the bunker, the beach, or anywhere that would limit access to the White House Press Corps. Many reporters knew of his condition and said nothing out of fear of helping the Republicans or losing access.
An illegal immigrant who served as deputy communications director for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) has fled the United States for Colombia, saying he finally has "freedom of movement."
Diego de la Vega, who arrived in the United States from Ecuador at age seven and overstayed his visitor's visa, began working for Ocasio-Cortez in October 2022, according to his LinkedIn. Last December, de la Vega left the United States and relocated to Bogotá with his wife, another illegal immigrant, the Substack "Migrant Insider" reported.
Ocasio-Cortez praised her former aide on Wednesday, saying he was "amazing" and that "we love him."
The $3 million rental home Hunter Biden claims is now “unlivable” after the California wildfires — leaving him broke and unable to continue a 2023 lawsuit he filed — appears unscathed even as all the homes around it burned to the ground.
The former first son, 55, was living in the four-bedroom Malibu home with his wife, Melissa, and their son, Beau, when the raging Palisades Fire tore through his neighborhood in January, sources confirmed to The Post.

“Like many others in that situation, [Hunter] has had difficulty in finding a new permanent place to live as well as finding it difficult to earn a living,”
Three heroic passengers were able to detain a 17-year-old boy who allegedly dressed as a maintenance worker to board a Jetstar flight at an Australian airport — with a shotgun and ammunition, police said.
Terror swept through Sydney-bound Flight 610 on Thursday morning when the boy, who has yet to be publicly identified, snuck through a hole in the security fencing at Avalon Airport and boarded the flight with a shotgun in tow, Victoria police said in a statement.
The teen, however, was quickly overpowered by three civilians who tossed caution to the wind to save their fellow passengers, pinning the 17-year-old to the floor until security arrived.
Former Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams said Wednesday on CNN’s “News Central” that President Donald Trump is a “petty tyrant’ surrounded by “complicit flunkies.”
Abrams said, “I have a podcast called ‘Assembly Required’ and we have been having this conversation for the last six weeks and we have to do all of the above. We have to call out Donald Trump on his lies. We have to point out that an unelected oligarch is doing his best to steal America from its people in Elon Musk.”
She added, “We have a complicit Congress that is allowing him to fire thousands of people

Several House Democrats have privately called on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) to launch a primary challenge against Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer after he backed a Republican-led funding bill to avert a government shutdown.
Even centrist Democrats are outraged by Schumer’s decision, with some "so mad" that they are "ready to write checks for AOC for Senate," according to a Democratic lawmaker who spoke with Ocasio-Cortez at House Democrats’ annual policy retreat Thursday evening, CNN reported.

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) insists President Trump is trying to start a civil war in this country and indicated it would take incredible restraint from the left not to fight back.
Waters, speaking at a Democrat retreat in Northern Virginia, made repeated assertions that Trump is gearing up for war.
She kicked off the unhinged commentary by telling reporters the administration's efforts to reign in fraud, waste, and abuse in the federal government would leave seniors suffering and "homeless people ... on the street."
“And so when that happens, what does Trump expect?"

Democratic Party rising star Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, argued that Americans need illegal immigrants because they do the work that the college-educated in this country won't do.
Crockett reportedly made the comments while speaking at the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival on March 8.
In a video clip that went viral on Friday, Crockett made the point that Americans don't send their kids to college in the hope that they'll end up picking crops and cleaning hotel rooms, but that's what illegal immigrants do.
"How many of you are sending your kids t
to college?" Crockett asked the crowd.

Republican Florida Sens. Rick Scott and Ashley Mood introduced a bill on Friday proposing the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) headquarters, currently in Washington, be moved to Florida.
Titled Consolidating Aerospace Programs Efficiently at Canaveral (CAPE Canaveral) Act, the legislation would relocate the NASA headquarters to Florida’s Space Coast in Brevard County. The region houses the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
Scott’s office called Florida “a common sense choice” for the new headquarters.
“There’s no better place for NASA’s headquarters than Florida’s Space Coast, where our nation’s brightest minds innovate and help America reach for the stars,” Scott said in a statement.
The Internal Revenue Service ordered most of its approximately 20,000 customer service employees back to the office this week, ending a long era of hybrid and remote work. There was just one problem: The IRS didn’t have enough desks to seat them all. And so, many customer service workers learned Sunday that they would not have to return to the office on Monday, after all. The Return to Office (RTO) mandate has been postponed until further notice, union leaders said Wednesday. In the end, the IRS and its employee union evidently agreed that the back-to-office order might lead to long
Democratic strategist James Carville said during a Thursday podcast that he was in San Francisco instructing numerous party donors that “stunts” are not an effective way to combat President Donald Trump. On “Lunch with Jamie,” Carville pointed to Democrats’ behavior during Trump’s March 4 congressional address, where Texas Democratic Rep. Al Green interrupted the speech and numerous lawmakers held up signs. Carville suggested the party’s approach lacked dignity and was not suited for the moment.
Democrats are so soft. They're been throwing fits for the past ten years over President Donald Trump, and they've ramped up the mania since he got back into office.
But it looks like some of them just can't take it anymore.
MSNBC made Rachel Maddow commit to being on five days a week for the first 100 days of Trump's term, when she had perviously had only been doing once a week. But host Lawrence O'Donnell said to her that he hadn't made the same commitment, and he was "exhausted" already.
"I know you've pledged to cover and be here for the first hundred days of the Trump presidency," he said.
Relatives of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett residing in multiple households received pizza deliveries from an unknown person over the past weekend.
David Williams, Barrett's brother-in-law, told the Charleston Police Department that some households related to Barrett received the unusual delivery, according to an incident report obtained by Newsweek. Amanda Coney Williams, Barrett's sister and David's wife, was also the subject of a bomb threat sent to an employee of the Charleston County Sheriff's Office on Saturday.
Schumer Blinks (AOC Upset)

I think we all knew this was coming. As Ed pointed out a few hours ago, Schumer had already signaled he was caving by lunchtime today. So this afternoon he made it official in another speech.
"Republican rejection leads us to a decision, and it's not really a decision it's a Hobson's choice," Schumer said. He continued, "Either proceed with the bill before us or risk Donald Trump throwing America into the chaos of a shutdown. This is my view is no choice at all.
"While the CR bill is very bad, the potential for a shutdown has consequences for America that are much, much worse."
US President Donald Trump has threatened a 200% tariff on any alcohol coming to the US from the European Union (EU) in the latest twist of an escalating trade war. The threat is a response to the EU's plans for a 50% tax on imports of US-produced whiskey as part of its retaliation to Trump's tariffs on all steel and aluminium imports to the US. The US president called for the immediate removal of the EU's "nasty" tariff on US whiskey, calling the bloc "hostile and abusive" and "formed for the sole purpose of taking advantage of the United States".
A major survey on the religious landscape of America was just released by Pew Research Center, and what it reveals about the decline of Christianity should alarm every American, whether or not one is Christian. ...if America loses the Christian faith from which our system of government is derived, we will lose everything that makes America what it is. All of the rights and freedoms we enjoy, the rule of law, the checks and balances on government power, all of that will disappear. [Snip] The practice of the Christian faith is deteriorating as well.
