I have been to Minneapolis, Minnesota many times during my career as a Federal Air Marshal, and I can honestly say that it was nothing to look at or a place I would take my family on a vacation.
As reported, the Minneapolis Teacher’s Union has reached a settlement with the local school district that will ensure white teachers lose their jobs first, regardless of seniority status.
I do not know about you, but this sounds pretty racist to me. They are trying to fix a perceived wrong with a bigger wrong.
Folks, this is the America we live in. Forget about merit, if you have the “complexion for the connection,” you can be the dumbest individual on earth and still get ahead.
This is not the United States that I grew up in. The United States I know, is a country where the best qualified people would get the job, regardless of color or ethnic origin.
A society based on victimhood, and not on merit, only hurt those citizens who depend on those people for their services.
I want the best people for the job. If they happen to be white or black, it is irrelevant as long as they are the best qualified individuals.
They claim they want to address “past discrimination.” The problem is that they want to fight perceived discrimination with discrimination of their own.
As the article points out, the data does not support their claim.
More amazingly is the fact white teachers have gone along with this bargaining agreement. I guess “white guilt” can be very powerful inside the minds of the psychologically weak.
Unfortunately, for Minneapolis children, they will have to settle for whatever they can get, not the best they can get.
You want to know why American kids are amongst the dumbest in the world according to OECD data? Look no further.

Time to Stop Corporate Indoctrination
I remember growing up and going to the movie theater with my parents to watch Disney animated movies. Be Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, or Dumbo, it was always fun to go and watch these movies.
Unfortunately, those days and the days of Walt Disney are gone. Today, it seems, the Walt Disney Corporation is not about entertaining your children, but about indoctrinating them, breaking them and molding them into whatever they feel.
Topics such as sexual orientation and gender identity have no business in children programing, but it seems the Walt Disney Company thinks otherwise and they do not want parents to have a say in what their children should and should not watch.
Why would the adult LGBTQ employees of the Walt Disney Company be against legislation protecting children from kindergarten to third grade?
Why would the adult LGBTQ employees of the Walt Disney Company think instructing little kids about sexual orientation and gender identity is the responsibility of the public school system?
What would the adult LGBTQ employees of the Walt Disney Company want with innocent children, your children?
Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida signed into law the Parental Rights in Education bill, banning teachers from giving classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through the third grade.
To normal people this is common sense, unless you are a member of the LGBTQ community who happens to work for the Walt Disney Company.
Democrats and leftwing lunatics dubbed the bill, “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which is nothing more than ignorant propaganda spread by the same people who think your kid is their property to bend and break as they please. They did not read the bill, I did, and the bill in no way, shape, or form, suggest such a thing.
I do not have a problem with adults living whichever or whatever type of lifestyle they choose to live, but going after little kids is problematic to say the least.
Listening to the leftwing media and the Walt Disney Company employees complain about the legislation is telling.
It tells me how perverted and sick our society has become when a grown-up thinks it is acceptable to instruct a kindergarten student about sexual orientation and gender identity.
When I was growing up, that type of thought and attitude would have been considered a crime against children.
If I went home and told my parents that my school teacher was talking to us about sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender reassignment issues, my parents would have called the police, that is just the way it was. This type of talk in schools would have been considered child abuse.
Today? Today, total strangers want to influence your children in matters that should be taught at home, by parents, and at time they feel is proper to do so. The only sex education acceptable to be taught at a public-school level should be the scientifically proven and biologically correct.
The LGBTQ employees at the Walt Disney Company should be ashamed of themselves. In my eyes they are nothing more than a bunch of sick sociopaths and a danger to any child.
The Walt Disney Company CEO, Robert Chapek, who claims he is all about the children, should also be ashamed for bending to the will of a minority that does not share the values most Americans live by.
Children in the United States have suffered enough during the Covid-19 craze.
The higher rates of suicide attempts and depression among young people between the ages of 12 to 17, in part as a result of school districts canceling classes at the behest of the powerful, and useless, teacher’s unions, remain on the up and the public school boards and public school administrators continue to drop the ball.
This article in RT News demonstrate the stupidity and lack of common sense by those in charge of teaching our children.
After you read this article, you’ll understand why I am an advocate for homeschooling and private schools.
Lia Thomas and the Penn State Women’s Swimming Team
What’s wrong with this picture? Lots!!!! Photo courtesy of newyorklatestnews.com
The case of Lia Thomas, a biological male who identifies as a woman has shaken the collegiate swimming world while shattering women’s swimming records in the process.
Lia Thomas, swam for Penn State, NCAA Division 1, male swimming team for three years , before switching to the women’s team.
How Penn State allowed this to happen is beyond me. All I can think of is ‘winning by all means’ is still alive and well in America, regardless of the consequences.
Lia Thomas has gone on to break the 1,650 Freestyle record, 500 yard freestyle U.S. record, and the establishing the fastest women’s U.S. record for the 200 yard freestyle by seven seconds faster than the next woman competitor.
Thomas is unapologetic for her success, despite the fact she is a biological man, who obviously has physical advantages over women, given to her by the nature of being a man.
More egregious to me is the fact Penn State has allowed this to take place and has prohibited the women’s team members from speaking to the press.
What happened to the women’s movement? Where’s Hillary Clinton, Sheryl Sandberg, the Pussyhat Project, and the rest of the powerful women in the United States who claim to be for women’s rights?
It is amazing to me how 0.58% have so much influence in the United States, in essence, eliminating the meaning of being a woman in society.
I am in the camp of live and let live, but this goes beyond that. The women in the Penn State swimming team have competed as biological women since they were kids.
Their parents have sacrificed a lot for these ladies to succeed and in a matter of seconds, records are shattered, not by a hard working equal, but by a biological male who found out it was more profitable to switch sides.
So what’s the future of Title IX? Title IX was enacted in 1972 as part of the Education Amendments and prohibits sex-based discrimination in schools or education programs who receive federal funding.
After all, there are two scientifically recognized sexes; male and female. You would think that the majority party of ‘trust the science’, the Democratic Party, would be in the forefront fighting for women’s rights and enacting legislation to prevent this from happening.
I have a feeling the courts are going to be pretty busy in the near future. Parents around the country are catching up to these injustices and are ready to stand up for the rights of their own children.
What does this mean for women’s sports? What would prevent a program from replacing their women athletes with biological males who identify themselves as women? We will have to wait and see, but if this keeps going on without challenge, it won’t end well for women’s sports.
I wonder what pioneering women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and the stalwarts of the suffrage movement in the United States would think of what’s happening to the women’s movement today.
This is!!!!! Antifa and Black Lives Matters activists. Photo courtesy of en-volv.com
After the death of George Floyd, cities across the country went up in flames by the hands of BLM and Antifa activists.
Businesses were burnt to the ground, police officers were routinely assaulted, federal, and private property were defaced, and citizens lived in constant fear.
This went on for months while Democrats were claiming these were “peaceful protests,” and the Federal Bureau of Investigations concluded they did not have evidence showing Antifa was a domestic terrorist group.
Of course, for a person like me who has been trained in counter terrorism and worked for 15 years preventing terrorists from conducting another 9/11 style attack, this laughable.
Now the Department of Justice wants to designate concerned parents as “domestic terrorists.” Just because these parents do not want their children to be forced fed Critical Race Theory garbage which is designed to divide our country.
I wrote about this a few days ago, but since then new details have come out about AG Garland and his relationship with promoters of Critical Race Theory.
It is interesting, AG Garland’s son-in-law, Alexander Tanner, is president of Panorama Education, a company who makes millions from the government education system by promoting and selling Critical Race Theory surveys and Critical Race Theory curriculums to government schools across the country. Can you say conflict of interest? YES, BECAUSE IT IS!!!
No wonder AG Garland wants to use the power of the federal government to protect his son-in-law’s bottom line. We saw the same thing during the Obama years with the Internal Revenue Service going after conservative groups like the Tea Party Patriots.
Using the FBI to go after parents who are only exercising their first amendment rights, and their rights as parents, is wrong and a waste of investigative resources. Furthermore, that’s Banana Republic law enforcement.
But how real is this threat by the Department of Justice? According to former SEAL, FBI agent, and fellow former Federal Air Marshal, Jonathan Gilliam, sources at the FBI have told him they have not seen any written directives. He shared this information during an interview with Breitbart News and went on to say he believed this was a bluff.
Personally, I do not believe it’s a bluff, but at the same time I would like to think the FBI would stay away from something that has nothing to do with real terrorism. If they want to deal with real terrorists, I could think about our porous borders and groups like BLM and Antifa.
BLM and Antifa may not be as active as they were during the Trump presidency, but they are still there, and they remain a threat to this country. There is nothing peaceful about burning buildings or setting police stations on fire.
Lastly, the hypocrisy of the left never ceases to amaze me. Just this week, “climate change” protesters clashed with law enforcement at the Department of the Interior in Washington, D.C.
The Department of Interior released a statement, not condemning the violence but saying the Department “believes strongly in respecting and upholding the right to free speech and peaceful protest.”
Say what? There was nothing peaceful about it. These protesters were trying to break into the building while fighting and disobeying law enforcement. By liberal standards, this was an act of insurrection.
But wait a minute, these were Joe Biden voters, so it is all right to commit acts of insurrection under the cover of “free speech.”
Just as the events of January 6th were quite different from an act of insurrection, the protests at the Department of the Interior were nothing more than a bunch of greenies complaining about lack of action from the administration. Nevertheless, they were not peaceful, and they should have been managed accordingly.
This is an example on how if you think like a liberal you can get caught up in a labyrinth of worthless slogans, labels, and accusations. Violence should be never justified, regardless of party affiliation.
The government, be federal or state, do not have the right to tell parents how to raise their children or what’s appropriate education. We are entitled to question, respectfully, our school board officials, after all, we all pay taxes to fund these schools, and we have the right to know how that money is used.
Instead of chasing concerned parents, I would like to suggest the FBI concentrate their efforts on real crimes and real terrorism. This is something I expect from Banana Republic security apparatuses, not the United States of America.
