[NYPOST] Portland Public Schools has adopted a new rule barring teachers from displaying their personal views on a ''political or personal issue'' in the classroom.
According to The Oregonian, the new guidance was ''quietly'' adopted under an administrative directive on August 24.
''Content on classroom walls, bulletin boards or otherwise displayed in the classroom must be related to the curriculum or district sponsored pursuant to [the district's academic freedom policy],'' the rule says. ''Those spaces cannot be used for an employee's personal expression whether that is related to a political or personal issue.''
Portland Public Schools told Fox News Digital that the new rule has been in the works for a year and ''acts as a reminder to all of our student-centered mission and also reminds our staff to use District spaces for educational purposes.''
''The AD is content neutral, and we believe supports the goal of remaining focused on creating a rich educational environment for students,'' the statement said.
''Personal expression by employees is not in furtherance of PPS's academic purposes. Academic purposes, of course, will vary depending on the course content. Displays should be focused on student's needs and tethered to the curriculum, not on the personal views of the teacher,'' the statement continued.
The spokesperson confirmed that the new guidance does not bar teachers from displaying pro-LGBTQ or pro-Black Lives materials in the classroom.
Because child grooming and bloody Communist revolution are neither personal nor political, unlike that creepy conservative and racist, Jew-loving stuff. Got it.

The purpose of this stunt was to issue tickets to drivers who disobeyed state law by not yielding to pedestrians. The department reported that a good number of drivers failed to do so. "Buck-buck-buck-buuuuuck"
"Chicken-mannnn!"
"He's everywhere! He's everywhere!"

When I was a taxi driver for the railroad one Halloween I had to drive a railroad crew from Kingsport, Tennessee to Spartanburg, South Carolina in my chicken suit. They didn't give me time to go home and change.

Somebody showed "US Marshalls" with Tommy Lee Jones at break time and the SFPD decided it was a training video.

[FoxNews] A U.S. Secret Service (USSS) Uniformed Division officer was injured in Washington, D.C., Saturday night after accidentally shooting himself.
The USSS told Fox News Digital that the "negligent discharge" occurred near 32nd and Fessenden streets in the northwest section of the city just before 8 p.m.
The agent, who was on duty, was handling his service weapon when the firearm discharged.
The USSS said the agent’s injuries were not life-threatening, adding that he was taken to an area hospital for treatment and evaluation.

This story is everywhere, but no mention of where the dude shot himself. Shot in the ass whilst holstering his weapon? Shot in the foot while cleaning/loading? Inquiring minds want to know!

May have done it trying to perform a back flip on a club dance floor.
Although, I think that particular fart smeller was FBI and in Denver.
And shot a bystander.
IIRC, the SS earned quite the reputation under Obama, such as not paying up for a night of hookers&blow. Reading between the lines, I believe the party suppliers if you will were on their way to treat them the same as anyone else who doesn't pay the bill when a cool head found a non huge headline solution. IIRC.

Boy howdy, they sure got the hurricane hype goin'.
The storm in question is off Nicaragua in the Carribean, and doesn't even have closed circulation as of my writing this.
(Closed circulation is when they become a 'cyclone'.)

[Regnum] Traffic on a number of highways is completely paralyzed due to unexpected snowfall in the Republic of South Africa (RSA). This was reported on September 21 by the local TV channel SABC News.
Bad luck.
Snowfall has hit parts of southern and southwestern South Africa, with the country's meteorological service describing the snowfall as "devastating". Traffic has been partially or completely disrupted on a number of highways in the affected areas. According to the South African National Roads Agency, several aid agencies are providing emergency assistance to road users trapped in the snow.
"The Sani Pass, Busmansnek and Mononch border crossings, which connect South Africa and Lesotho, have been closed due to inclement weather from 21 September until further notice," said South African Border Agency spokesperson Meme Mogotsi.
In addition, the Johannesburg-Durban expressway is closed. In some areas of the country, the cold has caused power grids and water pipes to fail. South African authorities have specified that the army will be called in to eliminate the consequences of the snowstorm in the province of KwaZulu-Natal. Multidisciplinary rescue operations will be launched as soon as it is safe.
According to forecaster Luthando Masimini, the weather will most likely clear up by the morning of September 22. At the same time, snow may give way to rain, the probability of which is estimated by meteorologists at 30%.
Snowfall is quite rare in South Africa; the last time snow fell here was in July 2023, and before that, the country's residents had only seen snow in 2012.
Earlier, Regnum news agency reported that in August, in the Momsky and Eveno-Bytantaysky districts of Yakutia, in the mountainous area where reindeer are usually grazed, there was snowfall for two days in a row.
Via Wikipedia: Van Reenen's Pass is a pass through the Drakensberg mountains in South Africa. Elevation: 5,545 ft.
So, in the mountains at around the same elevation as Denver, Colorado. And the last time it snowed there was last year in July, which is winter in the southern hemisphere. Sign of the End Times, for sure!
[FoxNews] Officer Mikka died and an officer was wounded after the suspect opened fire in rural Lee County
A search for a suspect ended in a fiery shootout in South Carolina that left a law enforcement officer wounded and a police K-9 dead.
K-9 Mikka was killed during a standoff in Lee County on Friday afternoon, following a chaotic standoff with a suspect wanted in the shooting of a McBee Police Department officer on Thursday night.
Agents with the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) responded to Lee County as part of a multi-agency search for an armed and dangerous subject, identified as Altson Modlin, 27, according to the Horry County Police Department.
He looks clean-cut and pleasant in the photo at the link, so he probably wasn’t on drugs or schizophrenic.
McBee Police Chief Tim Knight said Molidin fired at the officer "more than 60 times," WPDE reported.
Following the shooting in Chesterfield County, a search spanning multiple counties occurred and Modlin was located around 10 a.m., when a deadly shootout ensued, officials said.
Lee County Sheriff Daniel Simon said law enforcement officers were following Modlin's car when they ran into live fire from him from an assault-style rifle, News19 confirmed.
Simon confirmed to WPDE that one of his deputies was grazed by a bullet by shots fired at officers on the scene of the standoff.
Simon said a patrol car burned after it was struck by bullets.
"Shots that actually hit the vehicle. The vehicle ignited and caught fire, and, you know, she obviously couldn't get out of the vehicle," Simon explained to News19. "The officers couldn't get to the vehicle to open the door, because they, like I said, they were under duress. They couldn't get to the vehicle."
Tragically, the officer couldn't get to K-9 Mikka inside the car due to all the shots fired, and the dog died in the fire, Simon told WPDE.
Authorities said nearly 200 law enforcement officers and 10 agencies were in Lee County to assist with the standoff.
Sad, that the K-9 literally burned to death because its fellow offices could not to a access door get to it.
But KARMA took care of the POS named Altson Modlin who once lived at 6## Aspen St, in Florence, SC. As it was dispatched around 10am on Una Road in Lee County
[NYPOST] Qualcomm made a takeover approach to chipmaker Intel in recent days, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.
Intel's shares closed up 3.3%, while Qualcomm was down 2.9%.
Intel has been attempting to turn its business around by focusing on its chip foundry unit and artificial intelligence processors, but its shares have plummeted in recent months as it cut jobs, suspended its dividend and faced a high-profile board member resignation.
A deal was far from certain, the WSJ report said, adding that even if Intel is receptive to an offer from Qualcomm, a deal of that size would attract antitrust scrutiny.
To get the deal done, Qualcomm could intend to sell assets or parts of Intel to other buyers, according to the report.
[ZERO] House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Sunday unveiled a 90-day band-aid to avoid yet another government shutdown which fails to include the SAVE Act, which would have required proof of citizenship at the time of voter registration - despite Donald Trump calling on Congressional Republicans not to pass a spending plan without "every ounce" of the proposal.
So, instead of playing chicken over the key issue of election integrity, the new continuing resolution (CR) - negotiated by both parties - would keep the government funded at current levels through Dec. 20, setting the stage for yet another funding fight before Christmas recess.
It includes an additional $231 million to help the Secret Service protect candidates during this election season and into next year after Donald Trump was almost assassinated twice.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Incidents of GPS spoofing have spiked from only dozens per day in February to over 1,100 in August - a 400 percent increase, according to an OPS Group report.
GPS spoofing occurs when a fake radio signal is used to interfere with and override a legitimate one. It is a cyberattack and is used as a warfare tactic.
Civilian flights were the primary targets of these kind of attacks, but now commercial pilots are seeing a rapid increase in these confusing GPS signals that 'could be extremely dangerous,' American Airlines Captain Dan Carey told The Wall Street Journal.
Ken Alexander, the Federal Aviation Administration’s chief scientist for satellite navigation, said at a pilot union forum: 'If we lose an airplane because of workload issues because of these problems we’re encountering, compounded with an emergency, that is going to be a horrendous event.'
[SlayNews] An explosive study has sent shockwaves through the medical and scientific communities after finding that Covid mRNA shots are "directly" linked to 74% of all recorded deaths.
The damning study uncovered evidence in autopsy data showing that Covid injection contributed to a staggering 73.9% of all deaths around the world.
.However, the study has been met with unprecedented censorship. A quick internet check shows it has a very high "Fact Check Count". Which most avoids list the name of the study so that a person read it themselves.
The research team behind the study was made up of some of America’s leading oncologists, cardiologists, doctors, and scientists, including:
Nicolas Hulscher
Paul E. Alexander
Richard Amerling
Heather Gessling
Roger Hodkinson
William Makis
Harvey A. Risch
Mark Trozzi

Anecdote isn't data, but in the past 6 years I've known 2 die of COVID (my age, not young) and 1 of the flu (middle aged)--and the rest were cancer etc; nothing obviously attributable to vaccine issues.

Just the shadow public access evidence of the great psyop about "how much worse it could have been" if person didn't take the shot vs. understood credibility problems and that such claims were made for characters who -had multiple jabs- continued to claim sickness.
*again, personal medical decision, and not weighing in on whether to take it or not. Just my own anecdotal evidence of 'volunteering for control group' and own observaionts.
Interesting times once again for those poor Sri Lankans. Ah well — it looks like they’re going to be another demonstration of why communism doesn’t work.
[NYPOST] Marxist politician Anura Kumara Dissanayake won Sri Lanka's presidential election, the Election Commission announced Sunday, after voters rejected the old political guard that has been widely accused of pushing the South Asian nation toward economic ruin.
Dissanayake, whose pro-working class and anti-political elite campaigning made him popular among youth, secured victory over opposition leader Sajith Premadasa and incumbent liberal President Ranil Wickremesinghe, who took over the country two years ago after its economy hit bottom.
Dissanayake received 5,740,179 votes, followed by Premadasa with 4,530,902, Election Commission data showed.
