[Breitbart] Officials in New York City may finally take action after 100 educators were accused of having “inappropriate” relationships with students, according to a report.
Records show that dozens of teachers have been accused of the interactions with students that sometimes have allegedly been sexual in nature, the New York Post reported on Saturday.
“Thirty-two more cases of educators and other school staffers engaged in improper communications with kids were substantiated by the city’s Special Commissioner of Investigation — boosting the total to at least 121 cases from 2018 to 2024, up from 89 tallied in May, according to reports released to The Post,” the outlet said.
Special Commissioner Anastasia Coleman has pushed hard for the city’s Department of Education (DOE) to bar employees from contacting the young people via personal phone numbers, online, and through apps. She recommended over 50 times for leaders to take such action, but the DOE apparently answered with a rejection.
However, the department has told the Post it may begin a crackdown.

[Regnum] On January 25, the Roscosmos Corporation showed a photo of the world's largest iceberg, A23A. The photo was taken using the Meteor-M satellite.
“According to the latest estimates, the area of iceberg A23A is 3,672 square kilometers, and it weighs almost 1 trillion tons,” the company’s Telegram channel says.
The iceberg is in the Southern Ocean and is approaching the British island of South Georgia in the southern Atlantic Ocean. The coordinates at the time of the photo were 56°51'14" S and 39°32'56" W.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, oceanographer Andrew Meyers of the British Antarctic Survey said on January 24 that iceberg A23A could collide with South Georgia Island. The giant block of ice had been "trapped" for several months, but now it has fallen into a current that is carrying it toward land.
The iceberg broke off from Antarctica in 1986 and remained in almost the same place for decades. In 2020, it began to move, but then got caught in an underwater funnel. In December 2024, the ice block continued to move north.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A Texas teacher sparked outrage after urging Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to target his own students because they 'don't even speak English'.
The teacher, who goes by @HookEm232 on X but has not been identified by officials, sparked an investigation from the Fort Worth Independent School District following his social media posts.
The educator responded to a daily update from ICE announcing how many arrests and detainers the agency had made against illegal immigrants amid President Trump's crackdown on his first week back in power.
'Yall should come to Fort Worth, TX to Northside High School,' he wrote. 'I have many students who don't even speak English and they are in 10th-11th grade.
'They have to communicate through their iPhone translator with me. The (Department of Education) should totally overhaul our school system in Texas too.'
In another post from his account, the teacher responded to a tweet highlighting a North Carolina teacher who vowed to combat Trump's anti-DEI executive orders this week.
'I teach these f****** libtards every day and that's what I talk to no one at work except the kids,' he responded.
The teacher's inflammatory posts against his own students came after a directive from Trump's administration that allows ICE agents to raid 'sensitive areas'.
This includes hospitals, schools and churches.
Within hours of the X posts coming to light, Fort Worth Independent School District Board President Roxanne Martinez said in a statement the district was launching an investigation.
'We are aware of a recent social media post referencing North Side High School which was allegedly made by a substitute teacher and has caused concern among out Fort Worth ISD community,' the statement read.
'We take this matter very seriously and are conducting a thorough investigation to understand the circumstances and ensure appropriate actions are taken.
'As per district protocol, the employee will not be on campus during the investigation. We are committed to maintaining a positive and supportive environment for all students.'
[MAIL] The CIA has today revealed its belief that COVID-19 was likely leaked from a Chinese lab after years of denial under the Biden administration.
A spokesperson for the agency said on Saturday that they now favor the lab theory.
Officials said that there is no new evidence behind their shift in opinion - it is based on the same evidence they have been mulling over for months. "Mulling" the arrival of a new Director and a potential demand for the actual facts ?
'CIA assesses with low confidence that a research-related origin of the COVID-19 pandemic is more likely than a natural origin based on the available body of reporting.
'CIA continues to assess that both research-related and natural origin scenarios of the COVID-19 pandemic remain plausible,' the agency said in an announcement on Saturday. Meanwhile, long awaited document clean-up efforts have moved into a new phase at Fort Detrick and other locations.
The spokesperson added that they have 'low confidence in the judgement' and would continue to evaluate any new intelligence or relevant information.
In announcing their shift in stance, the CIA joined the FBI and the Energy Department in identifying the cause of it as being a lab mishap in Wuhan, China. Involving US funded 'Gain of Function' off-site research ?
The Wuhan Institute of Virology has faced scrutiny over its research into bat coronaviruses and alleged lapses in security around the time the pandemic started.

I am also open to considering the possibility that the CCP, (D), and Medical Industrial Complex helped plan the lab "accident" and the rapid spread of C-19/2#.
BTW: Whatever happen to a certain outspoken CCP Lab Doctor that disappeared suddenly found remote fortified enclosed accommodations?
[FoxNews] Trump appointed Gibson along with Sylvester Stallone and Jon Voight as Hollywood special ambassadors.
As President Donald Trump selected Mel Gibson to be one of his Special Ambassadors with the purpose of promoting business in Hollywood, the actor explained why he chose to stay in California while several celebrities packed their bags.
"A lot of people have left, and I don't blame them," Gibson said during an appearance on "Hannity."
"It didn't suit them anymore. Even… people who were liberal, it didn't suit them anymore. But if everybody leaves, what's going to happen?"
Gibson’s comments come as Fox News host Sean Hannity shared that he left New York due to "crime… high taxes… burdensome regulations," and has "no intention" of returning. The "Flight Risk" actor agreed that several A-listers fled for the same reasons.
Despite being on the same page as the Fox News host, Gibson vowed to work with the president in what Trump called a "very troubled" Hollywood.
"[People] are going somewhere else because it's more cost-effective. There [are] just a lot of prohibitive regulations and things in the way that I think could be lifted… But I think it can be fixed."
Last week, Trump announced that, along with Gibson, that Jon Voight and Sylvester Stallone would serve as "special envoys" to Hollywood, as people start to raise questions about their role as the industry reckons with a rocky state of affairs.
Gibson promised to get together with the other Hollywood ambassadors to discuss a plan and "educate" himself more on growing issues.
While Trump returns to office as the 47th president, Gibson believed he’ll "get some results here quickly" as he slammed the Governor of California, Gavin Newsom.
As a special envoy to Hollywood, the "Brave Heart" actor aims to focus on tax incentives, as Gibson argued Newsom’s plans aren’t "working."
"I know Newsom gave some tax incentives, but maybe not enough because it's still not working. There are other things that offset that," he told Hannity.
"The Passion of the Christ" actor continued to explain how he had to shoot a film for one day in Los Angeles, and it was cheaper for him to travel with a whole crew, fly to Europe, "lodge them" and film for three days than to work on a movie "down the road."
"There's something wrong there, and I think there are solutions. I know Arnold (Schwarzenegger) tried to level the playing field years ago. He couldn't do it because… there were obstacles. He tried, though."
Meanwhile, Gibson joined the long list of elite residents who have accused elected officials of mishandling the Los Angeles fires.
Gibson, who lost his home in the crisis, blasted Newsom in an exclusive interview with Fox News contributor Raymond Arroyo.
[ET via Zero] Dr. Eben Alexander was at the height of his career as a neurosurgeon. With a doctorate in medicine from Duke University and a residency from Harvard, he believed he understood consciousness and the brain. However, on Nov. 10, 2008, a rare and severe bacterial infection attacked his brain, challenging everything he thought he knew.
He fell into a coma and, seven days later, awakened with a complete physical recovery. Yet, while asleep, his mind was not idle. He recalls that his consciousness had gone to another dimension—a place furnished with clouds, shimmering beings, and ethereal sceneries.
"I was in a place of clouds. Big, puffy, pink-white ones that showed up sharply against the deep blue-black sky. Higher than the clouds—immeasurably higher—flocks of transparent orbs, shimmering beings arced across the sky, leaving long, streamer-like lines behind them," Alexander wrote in his book, "A Proof of Heaven."
"I witnessed all of that realm in all of its majesty," Alexander recounted during an interview with The Epoch Times. "Though I didn’t know where I was or even what I was, I was absolutely sure of one thing: This place I’d suddenly found myself in was completely real," he said.
Similarly, Dr. Sam Parnia, a medical doctor and research scientist, observed that seven percent of resuscitated patients recounted visits to an unearthly dimension during their near-death experience (NDE)—an experience people sometimes have on the precipice of death and may remember after recovery. Further, Dr. Pim van Lommel, a cardiologist from the Netherlands, reported that 29 percent of people with NDEs describe entering a vast, beautiful realm beyond our physical reality.

Somehow these higher dimensional NDEs never include learning what the next winning lottery number will be, in time enough to win. Now THAT would be something.

[Regnum] Archaeologists discovered a Dene (Athabascan) cache dating back about 1,000 years during summer excavations at the Elmendorf-Richardson military base in Alaska. This was reported by the Alaska Public Media portal.
The January 22 article noted that scientists initially believed the cache was no more than a few hundred years old, but radiocarbon dating proved otherwise.
According to archaeologist Margan Grover, many finds elsewhere in Alaska date back 14,000 years, but the find on the studied side of the bay turned out to be the oldest of all at the Elmendorf-Richardson military base site, 1,000 years.
The cache itself was about 3.5 feet (1 m) deep. The Indians lined it with birch bark to protect it from dirt and rodents. The site was close to water, so the researchers assumed that there would be remains of sea creatures, but soil samples showed tracks of a moose. Archaeologists plan to revisit the site, study the soil around the excavation site and determine whether the samples showed what kind of meat was in the cache or simply indicated what kind of mammals lived in the area.
Eklutna elders consulted by the researchers said that there was once a fishing camp at the site where the cache was found.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, last November in Mexico, scientists from the local National Institute of Anthropology and History discovered an underground portal to the afterlife that was used by ancient Mesoamerican civilizations. Did they find their way back?
The Zapotec Indians who inhabited the territories adhered to polytheism, offering their prayers to the deities of the Sun, Moon, thunder, corn, fishing and many others. It is noted that the Zapotecs also performed human sacrifices, and at some temples even the remains of children were found. So they inspired modern day Democrats...
