White House tries to distance itself from DOJ, NSBA memos, but says meeting was 'standard practice' [poor Jill]
[FoxNews] The Biden administration attempted to distance itself on Friday from controversy surrounding the National School Boards Association and its efforts to coordinate with the Department of Justice and the White House prior to sending a letter to President Joe Biden which compared concerned school parents to domestic terrorists.

Asked by Fox News whether anyone at the White House requested DOJ to write the memo from Attorney General Merrick Garland or work with NSBA to craft a letter to the president, a White House official said the situation "has nothing to do with curriculum."

"It is standard practice across every administration for White House officials to meet with outside stakeholders for listening sessions on a range of issues," the spokesperson said, adding that it "makes sense to ask for examples of increasingly common threats of violence if an alarm is sounded about such a trend, regardless of circumstances."

The spokesperson also claimed that the White House had no involvement in the issuance of the DOJ memo, saying the "DOJ chose to take this approach on their own."

That memo instructed the FBI to take the lead on a task force to address threats against school officials and create a centralized way to report such threats.

"We contacted DOJ after we were notified about these threats of violence because we were concerned about the pattern, and we discussed policy – not enforcement," the White House official said.

Emails provided to Fox News show that NSBA had coordinated with the White House for weeks before it sent a letter to Biden.
“Curses! Foiled again!”
Viola Garcia, the NSBA president whom the Department of Education later named to a federal board, sent a memo to NSBA members on Oct. 11 (but dated Oct. 12), providing a timeline of the NSBA's interaction with the White House ahead of the letter to Biden, which the NSBA sent on Sept. 29.

Five days later, on Oct. 4, the DOJ issued a memo directing law enforcement to investigate threats to school boards. On Oct. 22, the NSBA issued an apology for the letter.

DOJ officials tell Fox News they are standing by Garland's congressional testimony.

Any bets of how long it will take for Article of Impeachment for Biden, Harris. Criminal Indictments for Pelosi, and a handful of others, a new DOJ AG appointment, Roto-Rooter job of the tainted FBI/Intel agencies, A special counsel and Special Investigator to be appointed to look into the Biden Junta and those that actively played politics over Constitutional Law?

Remember when President Trump faced a Democrat-controlled House and Senate, and they kept sending articles of impeachment through? Even with a bunch of Never Trump Republicans in the Senate, they couldn’t achieve their goal.

While it only takes a simple majority of the House to vote to impeach, it takes a 2/3rds majority of the Senate to actually convict after the show trial. And while that emotionally satisfying battle is going on, the Senate cannot address any other business, like voting to roll back the nonsense the Democrats passed in 2021 and 2022.

Crates of High Proof Liquid Courage (Name Your Poison)
As Compensation, a Powerball Ticket for all the next 2 months of Draws.
And if you are successful, you will be immortalized in Bronze, to stand right next to every George Floyd Statue, holding a coke spoon up to Geo.'s nose, so close, but ever so far way, that Geo.'s statue will perpetually have tears in his eyes.

Any takers to this offer my apply here or petition their congressional representatives for a chance at this fantastic offer.

#10  Helicopter Money. This is what the “dims” did and it raised inflation.. You have Milton Friedman to thank

“The basic principle is that if a central bank wants to raise inflation and output in an economy that is running substantially below potential, one of the most effective tools would be simply to give everyone direct money transfers. In theory, people would see this as a permanent one-off expansion of the amount of money in circulation and would then start to spend more freely, increasing broader economic activity and pushing inflation back up to the central bank’s target.”

In-N-Out owner has 'productive conversation' with Florida Gov. DeSantis
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] Lynsi Snyder-Ellingson, owner of In-N-Out, has reportedly had a "productive conversation" with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis following the closure of multiple restaurant locations in California’s Bay Area following their refusal to enforce the state's vaccine requirements for customers.

DeSantis press secretary Christina Pushaw said that Snyder-Ellingson and the DeSantis had a "productive conversation" on Monday about the possibility of the burger chain expanding to Florida, according to SFGate.

"Vaccination should be a personal choice to protect oneself from serious illness, not a mandatory condition of participating in society," Pushaw wrote in an email. "There is no reason for a fast food restaurant to be forced to require proof of vaccination from customers."
Pushaw noted though that one barrier to the chain coming to Florida is the fact that all their suppliers are based on the West Coast, with no In-N-Outs being located farther east than Texas.
And their ingredients (beef) are fresh, never frozen

`I'm not a mile high,' said Alice.
`You are,' said the King.
`Nearly two miles high,' added the Queen.
`Well, I shan't go, at any rate,' said Alice: `besides, that's not a regular rule: you invented it just now.'

`It's the oldest rule in the book,' said the King.

`Then it ought to be Number One,' said Alice.

The King turned pale, and shut his note-book hastily. `Consider your verdict,' he said to the jury, in a low, trembling voice.

`There's more evidence to come yet, please your Majesty,' said the White Rabbit, jumping up in a great hurry; `this paper has just been picked up.'

`What's in it?' said the Queen.

`I haven't opened it yet,' said the White Rabbit, `but it seems to be a letter, written by the prisoner to--to somebody.'

`It must have been that,' said the King, `unless it was written to nobody, which isn't usual, you know.'

USA Already Exporting Oil from SPR at Record Pace
[RigZone] About 1.6 million barrels of crude from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve, a monthly record, was shipped out in October, according to data from market intelligence firm Kpler.

If the Biden Administration decides to tap U.S. emergency crude reserves to push down domestic energy prices, it may not help all that much. The supplies may just be exported away like last month.

About 1.6 million barrels of crude from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve -- a monthly record -- was shipped out in October, according to data from market intelligence firm Kpler. Three cargoes were loaded onto a supertanker in the U.S. Gulf Coast and are headed to Asia.

"Given the ongoing pace of the current SPR release -- 12 million barrels in the last two months and the biggest weekly release so far last week at 3.1 million barrels -- it’s fair to assume more SPR barrels are going to leave U.S. shores in the weeks ahead," said Matt Smith, an oil analyst at Kpler.

The White House has been mulling a range of options to ease soaring pump prices and Democrats are pressing for a potential ban on oil exports as well as the release of crude from the nation’s strategic reserves.

New Bill Would Grant GI Bill Benefits to Descendants of Black WWII Veterans
[NBC via RedState] Democratic lawmakers on Veterans Day reintroduced legislation that would grant GI Bill benefits to the descendants of black Americans who fought in World War II but were prevented from taking advantage of the program. It is intended to atone for the reality that many soldiers were discriminated against when they attempted to obtain the educational and housing benefits the GI Bill granted.

NBC News reported:

The GI Bill Restoration Act would provide descendants of these veterans a transferable benefit that could be used to obtain housing, attend college or start a business, according to the announcement Thursday from the bill’s sponsors.

To mark Veterans Day, the bill was unveiled Thursday by House Majority Whip James Clyburn of South Carolina and Rep. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts in the House and is expected to be introduced by Sen. Raphael Warnock of Georgia in the Senate. The Democratic lawmakers said that Black veterans had limited access to GI benefits in the past because most state and local veterans administrations were largely run by white officials.

The report noted that "[t]he bill would extend access to Post-9/11 GI Bill educational assistance benefits to the surviving spouse and direct descendants of these veterans who were alive when the bill took effect.

Rep. Clyburn released a statement in which he pointed out that black soldiers who served in World War II were "treated unjustly" after returning to the U.S. and were denied a "path to the middle class."

I agree and support equal treatment.

I agree there has been serious PAST discrimination.

But isn't rewarding Grandchildren, just another form of Reparations.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
When congressional lawmakers began drafting the GI Bill in 1944, it was the Democrats that fought it tooth and nail.


Deeper research, despite many recent WOKE rewrites that have now tainted history, quickly show this was a nationwide practice 70-80 years ago.

NOT just the SOUTH.

A lot of violent discrimination was also in Northern States and Northern cities. eg. Chicagoan's hurling rocks at Black Service men and their families moving to housing developments.

Sometime friend, anyway. And sometimes not, or so it has appeared.
The Justice Department said Bannon, 67, was indicted on one count for refusing to appear for a deposition last month and the other for refusing to provide documents in response to the committee’s subpoena. He is expected to surrender to authorities on Monday and will appear in court that afternoon, a law enforcement official told the AP. The person was granted anonymity to discuss the case.

#2  This is terrifying. It's nothing more than a political persecution. Banning has not been charged with any crime. The sixtus-Janissaries were guilty of nothing more than trespass -- and maybe lese-majeste in the form of putting their muddy boots on La Pelouse's sacred desk.

And since when does Congress have such power?

Compare this to the contempt shown for the nation by all the Deep State vermin who refused to respond to Devin Nunes' demands when he was in Congress.

This is fascism, in a Woke ferret-face. How much longer will we stand for this?

#4  Attorney General Merrick Garland Merrick Garland said Bannon’s indictment reflects the Justice Department’s "steadfast commitment" to ensuring that the department adheres to the rule of law.

Bullshit. Hey, Garland, how many FBI agents were at the Capitol to provoke that riot? Where is the "rule of law" for them? How about if a Congressional committee subpoenaed the DoJ for documents related to that little incident? And what about Fast and Furious? Remember that? Can we see those documents?

#8  This cannot stand.

At the very least, have you picked up the phone and told members of the committee "This cannot stand.". Commenting on blogs accomplishes nothing.

Last week I called Sweeney's office and left a message that his attempt to circumvent the elections result of him loosing to the trucker candidate in NJ "WILL not stand.". Two days later this very powerful but corrupt man conceeded...

#11  I wonder if the members of the D.C. Police and their boss, Nancy Pelosi, realize the stakes of the game they are playing?

This is bad on so many levels.
