Democrats are calling in the bigwigs to address their partisan positions on public education. There is a ZOOM call scheduled with the President of the American Federation of Teachers, Randi Weingarten. Much of this will be centered around legislation that expands “school choice” options in New Hampshire.

Anytime public funds are diverted to private schools, partisan activists on the left cry foul. They see this as an attack on public education, while those escaping the public schools for something better find a great deal of relief. The left has become so hostile to any child receiving a better education, they will fight and work hard to keep those children in a school that is failing them.

I’ve worked for two decades on ways that improve public education, only to be met with resistance or rejection from Democrats who say they care about public schools. Really? While families are fleeing, I don’t see them working to improve the state academic standards which are based on the failed Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards.

When schools shut down, and children were not learning and suffering emotionally, where was AFT President Randi Weingarten? Fighting to keep public schools shut down. That didn’t help public schools, it hurt everyone involved. But what most people don’t know is, Weingarten also worked to remove teachers from public education, and replace them with facilitators.

If you go to this document from Education Reimagined, and scroll down to page 10, you can see how the role of teachers will change in the future. There will no longer be a role for the teacher in the classroom. Instead they will be replaced by “facilitators.”

Who is out to making the teaching profession obsolete? Scroll to the last page of the document to see who signed it: Randi Weingarten, along with several other education reformers.

Here you can see that former Governor Cuomo teamed up with Bill Gates on Education Reimagined, and asked why school buildings even exist. Forbes followed up by saying, Gates is not the person to “reimagine education.”

So who is attacking public education? They’re not Republicans, they are left wing ideologues looking to replace teachers with AI all to profit Ed Technology. Think $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ profits to Ed technology!

So for those who sign up for this Zoom call, you might want to remind Randi and her colleagues of their role in destroying public education. The only ones benefitting from these reforms are Ed Technology Companies.

You bought a home in a single-family-zoned neighborhood precisely because it was zoned single-family. Then, some supposed “Republican” State Reps joined forces with the Democrats to outlaw single-family zoning throughout New Hampshire—the one-size-fits-all, big-government solution that Republicans supposedly oppose.

Then, to add insult to injury, these “Republicans” nonsensically tell you that they are defending “property rights” when there NEVER was any right to build apartments in your single-family zoned neighborhood. IT WAS ZONED SINGLE-FAMILY.

And they self-righteously claim that they are fighting “tyranny” when it is they who are the tyrants—changing the rules AFTER THE FACT makes them, not you, the tyrants. These “Republican” State Reps are NOT real Republicans. They are IMPOSTERS … whose ideological extremism is exceeded only by their arrogance and self-righteousness.

Short story: When I was in high school I was walking by the apartment building where a cousin lived.  A widower, always lonely now except for his cat, he was crushed when his cat escaped from the apartment and building.  I walked by thinking that I should stop in and say hello, but I figured that I’d do it next time.  Except there was no next time – he died that night.

I am forever haunted by that.

Understand that I’m not encouraging this.  But when friends and family are injured and there’s no possible justice legally… sooner or later people will turn to the not-legal.

We know that Joe Biden has been working tirelessly, as much as a man working part-time can, to destroy America. He has destroyed our sovereignty, weaponized our Justice Department and Intelligence agencies against Donald Trump and select groups of Conservatives, ruined our energy independence, and made our cities unsafe.

Biden has embarrassed the Supreme Court with his defiance and is spending money without the approval of Congress, which is the only branch of government with authority to spend tax dollars. But now we see clear evidence that he is working to topple Benjamin Netanyahu and dismantle the state of Israel. Joe Biden is an evil, manipulative criminal man who needs to be re-elected to have four more years to finish his plans.

Caroline Glick of the Jewish News Syndicate has reported and has subsequently been validated by a second source, that on March 17, Israeli riot leader Ami Dror divulged that he had been directed by the Biden White House to resume the protest riots. He detailed the White House’s four-part plan to overthrow the government of Israel. The components involve actions on the ground in Gaza, the use of the U.N. Security Council, extortion of government ministers, and mass protests. The White House is using Benny Gantz, the chief rival of Netanyahu, to facilitate the overthrow with the end of Ramadan as the deadline. Ramadan has ended. Last week, Gantz announced he had demanded new elections by September and was looking to replace Netanyahu as Prime Minister.

Joe Biden is diabolical and is working to destroy two of the most significant democratic entities in the world. We have all the evidence we need to see his efforts in this country, and the dominoes are falling in Israel, showing his plan is working there, also. Joe Biden is not a lousy President. He is the frontman for a massive plan to change the future direction of the world. He is doing exactly as directed.

Joe Biden is not an intelligent or competent man. He never was. He has been wrong in every foreign situation in which our government has been involved. He surrounded himself with a diverse but feckless Administration that was ill-prepared to handle any problem under the Federal Government. We have seen what he has done to neutralize the Third Party Candidate, Robert Kennedy, Jr, and we know that he is behind the various efforts to convict and jail his arch-rival and leading candidate, Former President Donald Trump. Biden and the Democrats do not want a fair election in November. They want a closed election where they have eliminated the competition, and Biden is the only choice for America. The problem with everything I have written is that Joe Biden cannot design or implement anything for which I have given him credit. So the big question we must answer is who is in charge. I do not have the answer.

So what is the motivation? If the Democrats had their choice, we would be a monarchy. Biden is circumventing the Judiciary and Legislature, but I do not see him pulling off a coup and eliminating his two equal branches. Maybe 2020 was a test to see how little you had to do to get elected. It was a success, and you will see Biden repeat. After the convention, he will head to the basement, avoid live interviews, refuse debates, and let his surrogates do the heavy pulling. It will not work in 2024. The people, and possibly the media, will pull Biden from his bunker, make him defend his record, and explain his plans for the next four years. If that happens, he will be a one-and-done President.

The one thing I do know is that there is nothing about this country that Democrats like. If you want to change something fundamentally, you don’t love what you have in the first place. The one thing they like about America is that it affords these people the control and power they crave. That has to change immediately. We have to stop enabling these treasonous bastards and eliminate them from the equation. That is the only way this great experiment can continue and America can be great again.

Pope Francis of the Left is a reliable progressive advocate. He is so bad that there is likely talk in the church of a schism the likes of which we’ve not seen in centuries. Francis has come out on the wrong side of just about every issue until now.

The Vatican declared Monday that transgender surgeries, surrogacy, and gender theory are threats to human dignity, breaking with the progressive approach to social issues that Pope Francis has adopted in recent years. ..

In the document, the Vatican doctrine office formally rejects gender theory and any attempt to change one’s gender, for the most part, while upholding the fact that men and women are biologically different.

“It follows that any sex-change intervention, as a rule, risks threatening the unique dignity the person has received from the moment of conception,” the document reads.

Pope Francis signed it and ordered it to be printed. This is the official position of the Pope and the Vatican, and therefore the Catholic Church. There will be dissent and outrage, but when is there not? Related: Former “Trans man” Says Teens Need to Resist Social Media Pressure to Transition

Timing

The reporting suggests this great work has been in process for five years, which means they’ve been thinking about it for a while. Why release it now? Is it because the WPATH files exposed the self-evident fraud form within the so-called brain-trust reference to justify hormone and therapy for the children progressives have confused about their gender?

Was it the four-year study out of the UK that led to an NHS ban on hormone therapy for anyone under eighteen? Or the move in France to ban both the therapies and surgeries?

How about the fifteen-year study out of the Netherlands showing there was no benefit and that nearly every child who expressed any degree of gender dysphoria grew out of it to become happy and healthy with their birth body?

The American College of Pediatricians recently came out against hormone therapy and surgery for minors, and now the Vatican.

“The child has the right to have a fully human (and not artificially induced) origin and to receive the gift of a life that manifests both the dignity of the giver and that of the receiver,” the document states. “Considering this, the legitimate desire to have a child cannot be transformed into a ‘right to a child’ that fails to respect the dignity of that child as the recipient of the gift of life.”

Closer to my home, a Democrat State Rep named Jonah Wheeler not only voted to protect minors from the trans-train of hormones and surgery, but he spoke before the whole chamber to explain why. Thirteen other Democrats joined him for the final vote, more than offsetting the three Republicans who voted with the rest of the Dems.

Jonah’s Democrat caucus bullied him mercilessly for speaking out, which is ironic. Maybe NH needs a bill to prevent that.

Diversity is our strength! Diversity is our strength! Diversity is our strength! Just don’t ask the bots repeating this Orwellian mantra how, for example, turning Dearborn into a den of America-hating makes us stronger. Indeed, the Left has such control of the debate over “diversity” that hardly any elected or aspiring GOP candidates dare to state the obvious … instead, we get: of course I support diversity, blah, blah, blah.

And how does importing “immigrants” like this (see X below) to New Hampshire make New Hampshire “stronger”? But don’t hold your breath waiting for the NHGOP “leaders” who “support diversity” to answer that question … they are far too busy building “multifamily” and “workforce” housing that will no doubt eventually be used to house “immigrants” who a best have no interest in assimilating and at worst hate America.

While China and Iran continue to wage an indirect war against the United States of America, they wait and watch. Can it be true? Will the United States crumble from within so that they can win the war against America without waging World War III?

They must watch with amazement as our country is being ruled by a man incapable of getting off the stage without direction from his wife and others. Illegal immigration is an invasion run by Mexican drug cartels. A terrorist attack from those entering through our wide-open borders is now a when not if proposition.

The current administration wants to call the illegally entering foreigners “newcomers.” The ongoing rape, sexual and economic slavery of children and women seems to be worth the effort for the Democrat Party to secure more votes and forever end honest and fair elections, which will eventually cancel the efforts of the Republican Party.

Our military is being weakened due to our unending involvement in the Ukraine War. We are unable to come close to our recruitment goals. First, there was the mandate that all soldiers must be vaccinated with an experimental vaccine that did not prevent infection or transmission of Covid but has caused mounting death and disability. Then the military went woke with Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark, “totally modern and thoroughly woke” Milley.

Diversity, equity, DEI and CRT were apparently seen as the most important components of our military readiness in order to fight and kill the enemy. White males in rural and flyover countries have become wary of fighting for their country when they can’t be sure that their superiors will have their back. The recruiting crisis has forced the Army to seek retired personnel to enlist for a four-year term. You just need to be under 70 years of age and be able to meet the Army’s health requirements. Shucks, I missed the cut-off by five years.

The United States has lost its borders as we are now being invaded at our northern border as well. Our language, culture and dollar currency are on life support. Our large cities have become cesspools of crime, death, and destruction while the leaders offer no bail, lenient sentences, and early released prisoners, free to maim and kill once again. Yes, we are losing our country and the war of wills against our enemies without them firing a shot.

The next election, as the “most important,” was seen as hyperbole in the past. Do you think that is the case now? Ask Lily Tang Williams and others who have escaped tyranny to live in our country who are now sounding the alarm. Without being fully informed about who we should vote for in the November election, we may find out it is too late to save us from remaining a free and democratic Republic.

In 2022, the State of Washington, rather than punishing only criminals who bring more than ten rounds of ammunition to a crime, took its hoplophbia out on everyone by prohibiting the sale of “large capacity” magazines to anyone in the state.

Let us first concede that few, if any, liberal gun-grabbers have any idea what a magazine is, let alone one with a large capacity. You would need to have experienced “range day” even to begin to have a clue, and most proglodytes think a “range” is that gas thing in the kitchen where their illegal alien household staff cooks their dinner but that they have banned for everyone else (the gas stoves not the illegals).

We shall also concede that the State government was not working to enrich the manufacturers of 10-round magazines (as in, you’ll need a lot more of them for range day).

And, given that the law prohibits the sale, not possession, of “high” capacity magazines, we accept that this law does nothing to address the problem of mass shootings unless, by problem, you mean there aren’t enough of them to keep your anti-gun press release machine humming. Every anti-gun law from the left increases the chance of shootings.

What Happened?

The chirpy little Progs passed the law, and a local gun store ignored it, which made the Left giddy with excitement about the upcoming dance with the lawfare devil in the pale moonlight. The case goes to court and ends up in front of a County Superior Court judge (Gary B. Bashor), who announces that the law is unconstitutional.

While lawyers for the state argued that the court should uphold the law based on the “enduring American tradition of firearms regulations,” Bashor — citing the 2022 Bruen ruling — said instead that the burden was on the state to show an analogous founding-era regulation.

“The State has failed to do so,” he wrote, adding that the laws cited by the state were passed well after the founding era or were not relevant because they dealt with hunting regulations and gunpowder storage, not firearms regulations and self-defense.

He wrote that the state’s reading of both Heller and Bruen is “tortured and incorrect.”

Defenders of the useless law immediately appealed the ruling to the State Supreme Court and got a stay. The pointless exercise remains in effect while the case continues its dance, which includes questions the judge asked, like why the Seattle Police Chief wants his officers to “carry 17-round magazines because they need to be prepared for every scenario they might encounter,” but it is “not appropriate for a member of the public to be prepared for all scenarios they might encounter.”

I don’t know if the Prog Lawyers for the State of Washington have an answer for that unless it is that by defunding the police, there are fewer officers with 17-round magazines to oppress minorities. And since crime is up, why not argue that 17-round magazines were not an adequate deterrent and, therefore, unnecessary?

Whatever you do, do not refer to Democrat urban leadership’s enduring tradition of disarmament in conjunction with the disarmed population continuing to elect the same party into office despite rising budgets, crime, and poverty, alongside declining services, privacy, and student test scores. The judge might decide to limit the number of Democrats allowed in the Municipal government to ten.

I was going to name this article Part 3 of The Case for Nurse Terese, but things often don’t go as planned, and such is life.  And let it be known that Mr. (John) Stephen is still due some acknowledgment for why he is NOT the correct replacement for Ted Gatsas.

With the candidacies of Bob Burns and Ryan Terrell already addressed, a new “has been” has entered the ring: the elderly former Senator Reagan.

Keep in mind that the retiring Ted Gatsas, 73, pointed out that it’s time for the next generation to take over in his announcement, so why replace him with someone older?  Many of us have been lectured to, as kids and by people of Senator Reagan’s cohort, about having something nice to say, so I will start with that and get it out of the way.  Senator Reagan, 77, was one of the good guys on 5/5/22 when the Senate killed HB 1080.  That bill was a vax exemption that had to do with the uniform combining of medical, religious, and conscientious objections to employees being forced to roll up their sleeves.  I won’t spend much time going into the details, but it’s all covered in approximately the 10th hour of this YouTube video of the Senate.

In a nutshell, Jeb wanted his beloved CMS money and strong-armed his peers to vote for it.  Senator Reagan, one of the five dissenters, retired a month later during filing time, and Howard Pearl now occupies his seat.

Moving on to the heart of the matter, I’ll be that meme guy seated at the ruffled tableclothed cafeteria table in an outdoor Harvard Square-type setting.  The caption says whatever it says, followed by “change my mind.”  My womanly intuition says that Chris Ager and the 10 Water Street brass recruited Senator Reagan to steal the non-Uniparty vote and I will explain here.

Not only does dissent against the Jeb agenda, as noted earlier, appeal to that voter base, but he also voted for pot.  I don’t have the bill number(s) handy, but someone who does is encouraged to put it in the comments if desired.  I personally don’t give much bandwidth to pot bill voting records, but I recognize that it’s a hot-button issue that stokes passion among many.  There are lots of liberty-minded groups that have a common enemy: the Democrats.

Think of the Dems as Central Powers or Axis Powers if you’re a history buff, depending on what wartime era interests you.  Groups like YAL, AFP, FSP, Libertarians, etc., are micro subcultures, to put it respectfully.  Senator Reagan, who people should be asking what he’s been doing for the past two years, is the 10 Water Street big fishing net cast upon the aforementioned groups and their “adjacents,” to use enemy camp parlance.

Do NOT fall for the bait.  Senator Reagan was also an opponent of Parental Rights and crossed party lines in senate roll calls.  Just like I tell the Melanie minions, a voting record is a voting record.  She voted for an income tax, and Senator Reagan voted against the 2022 Parental Bill of Rights.  The record is there for the looking up, if desired.

In my lay perspective, time is of the essence, so I want to send this public service message to District 4 voters and people with ties to them: Do not fall for Senator Reagan. Let him stay in political retirement and vote for Nurse Terese.
