[Breitbart] Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) of Illinois signed SB 818 into law last Friday, claiming the new sex ed standards that require kindergartners to learn to define gender identity “will help keep our children safe.”
Wealthest family in the state and one of the most fat lard asses.
“Modernizing our sex education standards will help keep our children safe and ensure important lessons like consent and internet safety are taught in classrooms,” Pritzker said in a statement. “By working together, we’ll continue to strengthen our education system and deliver the bright future our kids deserve.”
The new law, which takes effect immediately, requires public schools in the state that offer sex education to align their curriculum with the National Sex Education Standards (NSES), the creation of organizations that advocate for sex ed consistent with abortion rights and LGBTQ inclusion.
Creators of the standards also boast they have been updated to include:
Continual evolution in language related to gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, and sexual identity;
Inclusion of power and privilege, conscious and unconscious bias, intersectionality, and covert and overt discrimination, and the principles of reproductive justice, racial justice, social justice, and equity
Pritzker’s office states the new sex ed standards are “voluntary,” and that they are only mandated for school districts that are already teaching comprehensive sex education.
The new law, then, leaves it up to Illinois parents who oppose the new standards to opt their children out of sex ed, or to work to elect school board members who agree to stop teaching comprehensive sex ed in their districts.
Illinois Rep. Fred Crespo (D) expressed concern that no other state had signed onto the NSES standards.
The NSES were developed by Advocates for Youth, Answer, and the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS).
Since 2015, SIECUS has partnered with abortion industry giant Planned Parenthood and LGBTQ activist groups such as GLSEN and the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) to lead comprehensive sex-ed programs in schools throughout the country.

I see this as a good thing. To enumerate all the various genders, the kids will need to be able to count up to at lest five. Being able to count will lead to a huge jump in math proficiency scores which currently, to use a statistical term, suck donkey balls and have been trending flat for decades.

Herr Euro Conservative, honey,
The story is terribly funny:
Canuck imprecision
Wrecks boy's circumcision;
Then boy with no weewee
Meets crazy gay Kiwi,
Boy A humps Boy B like a bunny;
The lunatic thrives,
Boys get on with their "lives,"
But when books hit the shelves
Both the boys Kill themselves
After Oprah makes out.
Love,
John Money

[NYPOST] The deep grief on President Joe Biden ...... 46th president of the U.S. Former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect hacked up by the World's Greatest Deliberative Body. The guy who single-handedly lost Afghanistan...... ’s face as his eyes swelled with tears was painful to watch.
No doubt. But did he have any idea what he was crying about?
But his personal suffering cannot exonerate him from the responsibility for what happened in Kabul.
Nor can his obscenely shameful effort to shift the blame to former President Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... and even his own military commanders be taken seriously. Biden says the buck stops with him, but he doesn’t really mean it.
When the enemy strikes with deadly results, it’s somebody else’s fault. That’s not leadership and it certainly isn’t presidential.
If he truly claimed the credit, Biden would own up to the obvious fact that his actions played a big role in this horrific outcome. Instead, his claim that every commander agreed with him on the withdrawal plan is a bald-faced lie.
We know for certain the military argued against his hasty exit. Officers gave him alternatives and he said no because, for 50 years, Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. The guy who dumped Afghanistan. The copier doesdn't exist that could reelect him.... has always known best.
Yet when things go off the rails, he dares to hide behind the generals.
That’s politics, that’s Washington. It’s not the mark of a trustworthy commander-in-chief.
The worst day for our troops in Afghanistan in a decade will never be forgotten by those Gold Star families who received that dreaded knock on the door from someone in uniform. But it is also a terrible stain on America that our brave men and women were put in such a vulnerable situation.
They risked their lives in a heroic effort to save the terrified civilians of many nations. They have been succeeding in large measure, but have now paid an unacceptable and unnecessary price.
The shock isn’t just that there was a successful terror attack against America during our last stand at the chaotic, overrun Kabul airport. The shock is that it didn’t come sooner and claim even more lives.
The president’s pain, which always seems to be attached to the loss of son Beau Biden from cancer, does not change the fact his arguments for his position remain what they have been all along — unpersuasive, dishonest and foolhardy.
He set the terms of the withdrawal, including the abrupt abandonment of the Bagram Air Base, and approved the security-sharing arrangement with the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... , a terrorist organization. He proudly cites those decisions, but those and others carry the unmistakable stench of weakness. When tens of thousands of people converged on the airport, the chaos was an invitation for murder and mayhem.
The strongest military in the history of the world was a sitting duck, with our warfighters reduced to playing defense in an impossible situation.
Biden’s original sin was his determined rush to get out of Afghanistan on a fixed timetable. Risk-averse to a fault, he made the avoidance of more casualties his chief measure of success.
Should we really be blaming Clueless Space-case Joe?
Or should we focus on figuring out whom is actually running this mess behind the scenes.
How about in 2023 (after next election) we start weeding all of them out and putting them on trial?
Using 18 U.S. Code § 2382 - Misprision of Treason.
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States and having knowledge of the commission of any treason against them, conceals and does not, as soon as may be, disclose and make known the same to the President or to some judge of the United States, or to the governor or to some judge or justice of a particular State, is guilty of misprision of treason and shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than seven years, or both.

The former aide of Vice-President Wang Qishan is accused of accepting millions
Prosecutors say he has accepted around £51 million over two decades

The mountains are high, and the Emperor is far away. -- old Chinese saying
He used to be Dong Hong, but now he is Long Gone. I'm guessing the problem was not so much the bribes, but that he got greedy and was not sufficiently wetting the right beaks.
[BREITBART] Rep. Eric I farted on national television Swalwell ... U.S. Representative-for-Life from Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,'s 15th congressional district since 2013. Naturally he's a Dem. His district covers most of eastern Alameda County and part of central Contra Costa County. He was rapidly eliminated from the 2020 Dem nomination pool. He looks a lot like Greg Marmelard, and has the distinction of being one of the few politicians to ever fart on national teevee... (D-CA) is now floating conspiracy theories about how a Breitbart News story on the existence of a classified report detailing the explicit nature of his relationship with Chinese spy Fang Fang came out—but he is not denying the intelligence report exists.
The saga begins as follows: Back in late July, Breitbart News published an explosive exclusive investigation quoting multiple sources including a former senior national security official and a former senior external adviser to intelligence community leadership revealing the existence of a classified report circulated among intelligence community officials that detailed the nature of Swalwell’s relationship with Fang Fang, a Chinese spy. That she and Swalwell were entangled was long public based off previous reports, but this story revealed the intelligence report that collected a bunch of these details.
Swalwell did not respond to requests for comment for that original story, nor did the White House or Office of the Director of National Intelligence. President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. The very model of probity, except maybe for abandoning Afghanistan... , Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, or anyone else with original classification authority could order the declassification of the Swalwell report, as Breitbart News reported in that original story.
After the original story published, Fox News host Tucker Carlson did a segment on it—inviting on Breitbart News editor in chief Alex Marlow to discuss it—in which he viciously criticized Swalwell.

I don't think any of us should be satisfied until the penalty for voting this sort of creature in is your district goes without representation until the next regular election cycle. Rinse, repeat until a majority of the district's voters come to their senses.

We're seeing similar situations around here. The owners with small numbers of rental units are just getting hammered. The tenants aren't paying rent....because they don't have to.
The Banks don't care, the utility companies don't care, the folks doing repairs don't care (yes, you still have to keep up the property or risk fines and lawsuits) and the tax collectors don't care.
This poor woman and her daughter are living out of their car while her tenants have a warm place to call home.

The Banks don't care,
The banks and Wall Street DO care - they are buying up all these distressed properties and now control 1/7 of the housing market. THEY are too big to fail, so the government will gladly underwrite any funding they lack.

/\ Same thing happened in the Great Depression. Bank officer and their pals knew which farmers and businesses were in trouble. They oftentimes stepped forward and purchased farms and businesses at a fraction of the value.

One of my accounting professors mentioned how his group used to deal with squatters and people needing eviction. At first they tried the legal way, and that was expensive and time consuming...so they went with hired goons. When the goons showed up, slowly read the note that says, "Boss man says you get out now or..." They got out. Turned out to be much cheaper.
[FoxNews] $187.5 million had been earmarked for 'vaccine planning, distribution, monitoring and tracking'.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has notified Congress that it will transfer an additional $589 million, some of which comes from funding marked for COVID-19 vaccination efforts, to its program to shelter unaccompanied migrant children who have entered the U.S. at the southern border -- part of more than $4 billion that has been diverted to the program this year. could've built a wall
HHS informed Congress that it is diverting $225 million in National Institute of Health (NIH) funding that was part of the December COVID-19 relief bill to the unaccompanied children (UAC) program, as well as $364 million in HHS funding that was passed as part of the American Rescue Plan (ARP), a congressional source told Fox News. Data shared with Fox News confirms that source's account.

[WASHINGTONTIMES] The chief executive of the sexual harassment victims’ advocacy group Time’s Up resigned Thursday amid outrage over revelations that its leaders advised former New York Gov. Andrew Sonny Cuomo ...Dem dynastic governor of Noo Yawk, the son and heir of the late Mario Cuoma and formerly married to a Kennedy. Acclaimed for his leadership during the COVID epidemic, he managed the nation's highest corpse count while successfully hiding the returns and writing a book praising himself. Among the nation's horniest politicians, he has about a dozen allegations of sexual harrassment and groping against him. Noo Yawk's politix being what they are, he is still hanging tough, waiting to ride it out.... ’s administration after he was first accused of misconduct last year.
Time’s Up CEO and president Tina Tchen said in a statement that she’s "spent a career fighting for positive change for women" but was no longer the right person to lead the #MeToo-era organization.
"I am especially aware that my position at the helm of TIME’S UP has become a painful and divisive ...politicians call things divisive when when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive, they're principled... focal point, where those very women and other activists who should be working together to fight for change are instead battling each other in harmful ways," she wrote.

[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] MSNBC’s Joy Reid ...Harvard-educated lefty MSDNC (If you're white you ain't right!) commentator, given to fits of hyperbole, bad arithmetic, and faux sophistication... praised President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. The very model of probity, except maybe for abandoning Afghanistan... for his Afghanistan exit this week. "Despite all the wailing and gnashing of teeth on the right, the Biden administration, the guys that caused the debacle in Afghanistan ...the collection of boodlers, grifters, hangers-on, and self-proclaimed experts affiliated with the Biden Crime Family. Entrusted with an entire nation as the result of a suspicious election, they set about happily implementing stuff they absorbed in college, all of which blew up and splattered the rest of us... has accomplished something that’s actually truly remarkable in Afghanistan."
Reid has been a vocal supporter of the President's military exit out of Afghanistan, despite wide criticism and plummeting polls for Biden. Prior to praising the President, Reid attacked former President Trump and blamed any shortcoming in relation to Afghanistan on him.
"It was Donald Trump ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US... who wrote America’s exit strategy," Reid said. "Trump’s ’peace plan’ set fall of Afghanistan in motion" and the "GOP tried to blame Biden for Trump admin policy."
On another segment of her program, Reid attacked Trump again, alleging he would not have attempted to rescue Afghans.
"I think it’s magical thinking that’s the problem, thinking somehow Donald Trump would have evacuated those Afghans," Reid said. "No he wouldn’t have."
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] The Democratic Party’s quest to defund police forces, an act in which it kowtowed to its hard-left-wing base, has come to a very bitter end. The resulting surge in violent mostly peaceful crime has produced a massive public backlash that threatens the careers of elected Democrats throughout the nation. Naturally, the endangered species is trying to distance itself swiftly from the wreckage that "defund the police" has left behind.
The mayors of Portland and Seattle, who respectively slashed police funding by $15 million and $7.5 million last year, are now moving to restore those budgets amid spikes in violent mostly peaceful crime made worse because coppers are choosing to retire rather than stay where their work is scorned by their employers.
Something similar is happening in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... , where last year, Mayor Lori Lightfoot ...the diminutive and vacuous Heronner da Mare of Chicago. When the corpse count rises she blames the guns, which are banned anyway. A racist to the bone, Lori sez that people with the same skin tone all think alike, not quite getting the implications for a city with a population less than thirty percent black... demanded that the police force leave vacant positions unfilled as part of a broader drive to cut police budgets. Lightfoot now faces a 60% increase in murders since 2019 , and suddenly, she sees the light — the police are not expendable, and the thin blue line between chaos and order cannot be allowed to get any thinner.
She says she wants "to recruit the next generation of officers." Good luck with that. All over the country, police forces are dwindling because officers are quitting their thankless jobs in cities run by leftists. We're deeply sympathetic to the city communities betrayed by their politicians, but it's hard not to take a certain pleasure in the backlash now engulfing the political charlatans who perpetrated this disaster.
Police reform has been and remains an important issue, but the Left has tried to demonize the brave officers and rejected the very existence of law enforcement itself, attributing racist motives to even basic measures to suppress crime. Compounding the problem is a gaggle of irresponsible leftist prosecutors who have taken office in communities such as Philadelphia and the Socialist paradise of San Francisco ...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964... . In the name of racial justice, they refuse to prosecute brazen crimes and care not at all for the mostly nonwhite citizens whom these predators victimize.
According to the FBI ...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time... , the number of black murder victims rose by an astounding 23% from 2014 through 2019 — more than three times as fast as the rise in white victims. Not only does this mean that blacks now comprise 54% of all murder victims, but it also means that nearly twice as many black people are being murdered every single year as were lynched in the entire history of the Jim Crow South , according to a detailed 2015 report on that grim chapter of U.S. history.
In other words, today’s Democratic defund agenda inflicted more death in minority communities than back when the leaders of the same party were hiding behind white masks and burning crosses.

Vice President Kámala Harris Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, now a senatrix from California former 2020 Dem presidential hopeful, and Joe Biden's wing nut... canceled her planned trip to stump for California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday after twin bombings in Afghanistan
She was originally supposed to be the headliner at the Stop the Republican Recall car rally at the historic Cow Palace outside of San Francisco on Friday
Newsom had hoped to use Harris to draw out Democratic turnout in the recall election as he slips in the polls
A short time later, Harris' spokeswoman tweeted that she would be returning to DC instead, Newsom's campaign canceled the event

No sense going down with a sinking ship when you don't have to. Kammie's best strategy is to maintain a low profile so after the current debacle blows over, she can latch on like a limpet to a new power center.

Newsom prolly asked her to waive off. As bad as it is for him, she's glowing green radioactive right now. Mighta been a WH "optics" issue also. The Big Guy is expected to head to Cali to campaign for Newsom next weekish. Recall is underway w/votes due by 14 SEPT. Everything I read says it's too close to call right now.
