Pelosi running again brings no sympathy from me…

I wasn’t surprised to see that Pelosi is running again because letting go of power is quite difficult for some.  However, I have no sympathy for those who live in her District, if they vote to keep her.  At that point, in my opinion, they ask for all the woes their district must then continue to endure.  So be it.  No sympathy from me.

Open Letter to Governor Kemp

Dear Gov. Kemp,

Obviously, there was election interference in the 2020 election. There was also a lack of a thorough investigation before the certifications. I still remember ole Barr saying that while there was fraud, there wasn’t enough to change the outcome. How would he know the latter when a “thorough” investigation couldn’t be done in that short a time? Regardless, I can see why President Trump would be a bit upset about how it was all handled and not handled and all the last-minute changes that shouldn’t have been allowed. You don’t change the rules in the middle of the game.

Now, to the matter at hand.

You think Trump should have been on the debate stage? Really?

For one thing, people know his position. We all lived through the results of his policies and the actions he took. Been there. So, why would we need him to tell us what we already should know?

On the other hand…

Do you really think it would be fair if he got up on that debate stage and everyone was allowed to hit him with allegations involving all these indictments, only for him not to be allowed to respond or could be in trouble with the court if he did?

You know, as well as I do, that if Trump refused to answer because of a court order, some libs and other Trump haters would run with the claim that he must be guilty or he would have answered. That’s how some of them play – dirty.

I don’t know about you, but I’m beyond tired of the dirty tricks and outright gaslighting that has been and continues to transpire.

I’m tired of people thinking that it’s okay to do whatever because, after all, it is “only” Trump.

I’m tired of people thinking Trump has no rights, especially the right to be upset when he is wrongly treated and wrongly accused.

Funny, how so many would be upset if treated like Trump, yet thinking it is okay when done to him.

I don’t like those kind of people. Do you?

Just a little trip back in time…

Do you remember when Trump was accused of mocking the “disability” of a reporter? He didn’t. What he did was a gesture representing frustration or of one being flustered which he had used for years. (If he were to mock Serge’s disability it wouldn’t be with that gesture.) That’s right, he didn’t mock the reporter’s disability, but millions were told he did and many still spread that lie to this day. It makes him appear to be something he is not and why many don’t like him. But… oh well… it’s only Trump.

How about when Trump used the “saying”… “blood in her eyes?” Remember how they made up a new meaning for that saying and tried to make it that he insulted Megyn Kelly (a woman) and somehow how it was a reference to menstruation? Boy, was that a reach, but lots of people not growing up with the saying believed the lie. Once again, this paints a picture of Trump that is untrue.

We’ve probably all been lied about at some point in our lives, but the media has never gone after you and me with such intense determination to destroy us, such as they have Trump.

I could name lots of lies told about Trump, but I don’t think I need to. I think just the few mentioned here should be enough to make the point.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve said things like, “I guess I’ll have to go rob a bank.” Of course, I didn’t mean it literally. It was just a way of saying “That’s a lot of money.” However, if I were treated like Trump, your little DA might try to indict me, too.

The point being, that just because someone says something doesn’t mean they mean it the way others are presenting it. That should matter. Others have no right – or shouldn’t have – to try to change the meaning and intent of the person commenting. When they do – they are at the very least – liars or ignorant puppets.

I know for a fact there was election interference in 2020. No doubt, in my opinion, it was enough to change the outcome. I also know there was absolutely no way that a thorough investigation was done when Barr announced there was fraud but not enough to change the results. But see… none of this matters. Too many in the media and powerful places are determined to find fault with Trump and accuse him of things he is not guilty of. Yet, you think he should get on that debate stage when he can’t readily defend himself? You think he should make himself an even bigger target and give a chance for the hate-Trumpers, DOJ, DA, FBI, and pals to twist his words or claim his silence is, and was, a sign of guilt?

I don’t think so.

In my opinion, rather than claim Trump is a loser for not getting on the debate stage, perhaps you should be calling the people losers who are weaponizing their offices, agencies, and positions to go after someone… anyone… and in this case – Trump. As I always say, if someone will do something wrong to one person – they’ll do it to anyone. They can’t be trusted.

Yep. Perhaps you should turn your focus from the debate stage and instead take a real good look at what is actually transpiring. Then ask yourself how you would feel if it were happening to you or yours. You only have to think it, so you don’t have to worry about the media or Trump haters – you can be honest.

Really, how would you feel and react? What would you do if it were you they were after, rather than Trump?

Sincerely,
A Concerned Citizen

Trump Deserves to be Indicted

by Carrie K. Hutchens

Donald J. Trump deserves to be indicted. Just ask people like Stephen King, Rob Reiner, Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell, Nancy Pelosi, the gaslighting crew and indoctrinated puppets. On second thought, you won’t have to ask them. They’re busy trying to draw you into what appears to be their cult of, “Let’s take down Trump By Any Means Necessary.”

People may not like Trump for a variety of reasons and tell others why. That’s their right.

People may not want Trump to be president again and argue their position. That’s their right, too.

What is NOT anyone’s right is to lie about the former president, whether by outright lie, half-truths, word/phrase meaning changes, or things taken out-of-context.

What is NOT anyone’s right is to seek indictments by the above means and/or creative application of the law.

Some are laughing and carrying on about what appears to be political indictments because it is Trump. Would they be laughing and carrying on if it were they or one of their family members who had gotten on the wrong side of whoever is in power only to be the recipient of all done to Trump being done unto them?

It’s dangerous to think what is transpiring is okay “simply” because it is Trump. Think. Step back and think. Reality is… if it can happen to “one” person, it can happen to “any” person. No one is safe no matter how much one believes they or theirs are. That’s a simple truth. Grasp it.

Obviously, there was election interference in the 2020 Election. Yes, obviously. Yet, you wouldn’t know it if you listen to the liberal media and others that hate Trump. They seem to conveniently ignore anything and everything that goes against their gaslighting narrative that portrays Trump as the perpetual bad guy.

I don’t know how many times I cursed the media as I listened to them claim Trump was lying about something that I knew for an absolute fact he wasn’t lying about because I saw and heard whatever personally. How dare they call me a liar. How dare they tell the public that I was a liar or a fool if I dare defend the truth because that is what they were doing.

How many times has the media been busy gaslighting and falsely labeling when creating or defending the chosen narrative of the day, especially when it is against Trump and anyone who dare defend him because they were defending the truth – not just the man?

It – what is happening and my writing about it – is redundant.

What is happening to Trump keeps happening to Trump. Over and over and over, attempts are made to lie about the man or twist his words or actions. It’s beyond tiring. It’s beyond wrong.

I’m tired of hearing people change the meaning of words and phrases and then applying their change as if it is the absolute meaning and what someone meant and intended to mean if they use one of them.

I have a good example.

Trump once said something to the effect that Megyn Kelly had blood in her eyes. Next thing one knew, the mob of Trump haters was claiming he was talking about menstruating, etc, etc etc.

Unbelievable. That’s not what the phrase means. No relationship at all.

I, for one, know that saying. Lots of people know what it means. How many spoke up? How many shouted out the truth as loudly as the liars (or misinformed) were shouting the lie?

Few.

Why? Because it was only Trump?

People… important people in important positions… lied about Trump and Russia. It was a lie, yet some continue repeating it.

People lied about Trump mocking the disability of a reporter. He didn’t, yet the lie continues by some.

Trump was told the numbers at his inauguration were larger than Obama’s and he repeated it. He, rather than the people that told him, was called a liar. And that is just a tiny fraction of what transpired that is ignored.

Even Fox News failed to assure that the whole truth was told.

Chris Wallace showed a picture of the alleged crowd. It was apparently early in the day before everyone arrived that was coming. Another employee did state at least once that the picture was of early morning and that was it. Fox News, to my knowledge, never made Wallace correct the misrepresentation, much less apologize. His lie was allowed to stand.

Two things.

I don’t remember the channel, but one did announce at least once that the Port Authority, I believe it was, reported that Trump’s crowd was bigger than Obama’s. I remember that because I commented to someone about it.

I have searched and searched for a video of that day, but of all things one might find – guess what I couldn’t find. Something I know happened (was said), because I heard it myself, is either hidden or permanently missing.

(I didn’t know it would become so important to note the channel and reporters, or I would have readily documented it all as it happened.)

CNN, I believe it was, had a live interaction program on their site that day and I spent a great deal of time using it, while the television was also on broadcasting the event. That’s one of the reasons I knew for a fact that Wallace was giving out inaccurate information about the crowd. But as I said, I didn’t see even Fox News stand up and say, “Whoa, that’s not right.”

Of course, this only happened to Trump, so some seem to think it is perfectly okay.

I remember people, including one of Nancy Pelosi’s daughters, trying to find a way to stop Trump from being sworn in. Where are their indictments?

        How Democrats Attempted a 2016 Electoral College Coup

        Despite Objections, Congress Certifies Donald Trump’s Election

        Christine Pelosi would face scrutiny of past comments if she runs for mom’s House seat

I remember people pounding on the doors of the Supreme Court. Where is the investigation of them and the indictments?

I could go on about things I saw and heard personally that were twisted, denied, or re-created into a narrative of lies, but who cares? It only happened to Trump. That’s right. It only happened to Trump so it’s okay. It doesn’t count as wrong. Right?

I don’t think so.

It doesn’t matter if one takes down Trump today because there is always tomorrow. There is always a day of truth that will arrive, even if not as fast as one would like. A day when the gaslighters will be outed for the liars they are. A day when the indoctrinated will realize they were wrongfully programmed or merely move on to the next mission assigned to them by their handlers. A day when the gaslighting media will either become honest or be seen as the fiction-producing programmers they are.

Yes, there will be a day when the truth steps up and refuses to be denied any longer by the masses. Until then, we are exposed to what appears to be an overwhelming crusade to take down Trump by any means necessary – even by intentional and unintentional untruths.

Some say Trump deserves to be indicted. Perhaps, instead, it is their motive, claims and reasoning that should be indicted? After all, we need to ask if we are seeing a guilty man being held accountable or dirty politics gone wild? It is essential that we find and accept the truthful answer to that question and many more. Our Constitutional Republic, well-being, and freedoms depend upon it.

Simply put, as Adrian Monk would say, “I may be wrong, but I don’t think so.”

Biden surrenders America for the sixth time

by By Hung Cao

I learned to swim at the U.S. Embassy swimming pool in Niamey, Niger, in 1976. Little did I know, that would lead to a career as a U.S. Navy diver. 

It wasn’t pool parties, picnics or watching movies at the Recreation Center, the only entertainment in a country that didn’t have television, that prompted my 25-year career as a special operations officer. It was the Marines from the Security Guard Detachment that stood watch at the embassy all day, every day. 

Even though they were fun during picnics or dressing up as elves to escort Santa riding on a camel at Christmas, under those smiles were steely-eyed warriors. There was no question that they would put their lives on the line to protect us. I knew I wanted to be like them by standing watch over the country that gave my family a second chance.

Bill Maher questions why Chicago’s crime wave isn’t addressed: ‘Why are you killing each other?’

By Lindsay Kornick

Bill Maher calls out Chicago crime wave: Its never addressed “Real Time” host Bill Maher discussed the black-on-black crime issue plaguing cities like Chicago and criticized how it isn’t addressed by Democratic leaders.

“Real Time” host Bill Maher called out the lack of attention to high Black-on-Black crime rates in cities such as Chicago during his show on Friday.

Hosting a panel with Brown University economist Glenn Loury and international relations scholar Daniel Bessner, Maher questioned the rise in crime in major cities and why it has not been addressed.

“Like Chicago: Most of the shootings are young Black men killing other young Black men. Is that not correct?” Maher asked.

After Loury confirmed it was true, Maher continued, “Okay, much more than what the cops do. Why doesn’t anybody talk about that? Why aren’t there a hundred giant Black celebrities who would have the respect of those people saying what are you doing to yourselves? Why are you killing each other?”  (Continue Reading)

Utah lawmaker’s home vandalized after he introduced bill to ban transgender surgeries: ‘Trannies bash back’

By Chris Pandolfo

A Utah state lawmaker’s home was vandalized this week with messages that indicate he was targeted because of his opposition to transgender medical treatments for minors.

Messages in red spray-painted on Republican state Sen. Mike Kennedy’s door read “fash” — short for fascist — and “These trannies bash back,” a phrase that uses a slur for transgender people. Kennedy shared a photograph of the vandalism in a post on Facebook.

Earlier this year, Kennedy sponsored SB16, legislation that bans transgender surgeries and puberty blockers for minors. The bill was signed into law by Gov. Spencer Cox in January. (Continue reading)

Well, Former AG Bill Barr

By Carrie K. Hutchens

Bill Barr, you seem to be intent on telling the world how you thought President Trump was wrong in so many ways. Maybe you can take a breath and tell us, Mr. Righteous, if you investigated the allegations of election fraud and interference, how is it you were unaware of the government involvement in censorship and information suppression? How is it that you missed what certainly appears to be a coordination between government employees, the media, and social media to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story and other matters that were deemed to be a threat to the election outcome that the players and their masters apparently were striving for? You know… actual censorship of citizens by the government and actual election interference.

Personally, no matter how many times you claimed it to be, I never for a moment believed an actual investigation ever occurred. A pretend one maybe, but never a real one. It couldn’t have been done that fast and been thorough. Guess you were counting on everyone assuming you have all this integrity, so the world should just take your word. Well, I don’t take your word for anything and you have proven my feelings to be with cause.

You, former AG Bill Barr, are either utterly incompetent or were intentionally blind to what was taking place. Either way, the wrong is on you. And, the proof there wasn’t a thorough investigation is the fact you were supposedly unaware of the wrongs being done right under your nose. Doesn’t matter. Either way, you have egg on your face and I for one will be happy to point out that your pedestal is crumbling, as the wrongs come out into the light.

“One Damn Thing After Another: Memoirs of an Attorney General” by you? Your title is right. You, the libs, and many in the government have continually twisted what Trump did and said and were always looking to find something to “get him on.” He couldn’t turn around without one of you trying to claim he had done something wrong or said something wrong or maybe he just wasn’t as smooth-talking as is liked by the likes of you and your buddies. But tell us, when did Trump ever try to destroy the lives of you and your fellow Trump haters by lies and half-truths?

Another thing before I close.

You were ready to throw your opinion out there about the Mar-a-Lago raid. You, of course, took the side against Trump. So, tell us… what’s your opinion on the classified documents Biden had and where they were found? Have I missed you running to the mic to jump on that situation? Can you explain why one set of attorneys were allowed to be present during searches, but not the others? Actually, your explanation is worthless. We already know that when it comes to Trump, you are quick to find some kind of fault with him, even when it was obvious whatever was done unto him and he merely reacted in defense.

You should be ashamed.

I, for one, am quite ashamed, even if you aren’t. I’m ashamed that I once believed you were the person you pretend to be. My eyes have been opened though. As I said previously, there couldn’t have been an investigation and not discovered the election interference, information suppression, and censorship that was active right under your nose. And you know what? I’m betting it all did make a difference that changed the election results. Someday, we will know. I look forward to you eating humble pie and having to admit to the world that you were wrong in how you have treated President Trump and the citizens that were affected by the wrongs so easily carried out. Yes, I look forward to that day. May it be soon.

Pennsylvania jury acquits pro-life activist Mark Houck on charges of obstructing abortion clinic access

By Louis Casiano | Fox News

A jury has reportedly acquitted Pennsylvania pro-life activist who was accused of allegedly pushing a Planned Parenthood escort during a clash outside an abortion clinic, Life News reported.

Mark Houck, 48, faced charges that he violated the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, which makes it a federal crime to use force with the intent to injure, intimidate and interfere with anyone because that person produces reproductive health care. He pleaded not guilty. 

The charge stems from an Oct. 13, 2021 incident in which the Biden Administration alleged Houck assaulted and “forcefully shoved” Bruce Love, a 72-year-old volunteer at a Philadelphia Planned Parenthood.

Houck was arrested in his home by multiple FBI agents in September 2022.

U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, celebrated the news of Houck’s acquittal with a tweet. 

“Good. Begs question of the $48 billion we give to DOJ…,” he wrote. 

Shortly after Houck’s arrest last fall, his attorney Peter Breen told Fox News Digital that his client’s arrest was an “outrageous abuse of power” from the Department of Justice that was intended to intimidate pro-life Americans.

“The message from the Biden Department of Justice is pure intimidation against pro-life people and people of faith,” said Breen, senior counsel of the Thomas More Society. “Why in the world would you send this phalanx of officers heavily armed to this family’s home, violate the sanctity of their home, frighten their children? Why would you do that, other than just to send a message?  (Continue Reading)

Byron Donalds’ wife decries ‘racist attacks’ from the left: ‘Cry harder, haters’

By Houston Keene

Florida Republican Rep. Byron Donalds’ wife decried the “racist attacks” she and her husband endure from the left, telling the “haters” to “cry harder.”

Erika Donalds, who is White, tweeted screenshots of online users attacking her over her skin color on Wednesday, pushing back on the racially-motivated online attacks over her marriage to a Black Republican lawmaker.

“Byron and I have been together for 23+ years, and the most racist attacks we experience are always from the left,” she wrote.

“They can’t accept that a free thinking black man achieves success on his own merits, and they sure as heck can’t stand that he’s married to me!” Donalds continued. “Cry harder, haters.” (Continue Reading)

Elon Musk: ‘I recommend voting for a Republican Congress’

By Anders Hagstrom | Fox News

Billionaire Twitter CEO Elon Musk endorsed Republicans for the midterm election cycle on Monday, telling voters to cast ballots for a Republican Congress.

Musk’s announcement comes months after he first announced plans to vote Republican earlier this year. He argued Monday that having a government split between two parties is ideal, and noted President Biden’s possession of the White House for Democrats before saying Congress should go to Repubilicans.

“To independent-minded voters: Shared power curbs the worst excesses of both parties, therefore I recommend voting for a Republican Congress, given that the Presidency is Democratic,” Musk wrote.

Musk’s endorsement follows through on his vow to vote Republican in May.

FIRST ON FOX: Crist claims he’s ‘trustworthy’ after his former staff, colleagues endorse DeSantis

Fox News Digital spoke with Crist following his heated debate with DeSantis

By Brandon Gillespie , Andrew Murray | Fox News

Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist on Tuesday described himself as “a trustworthy person” despite a number of his former staffers and colleagues announcing they would be supporting his opponent, incumbent Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, for re-election.

In an interview with Fox News Digital just one day following his fiery debate with DeSantis, the former Republican governor pushed back on the notion that he was untrustworthy for changing his political party affiliation multiple times, arguing that the GOP had left him rather than the other way around.

Crist was a Republican until 2010 before unsuccessfully running for Senate that year as an independent, and then ultimately winning election to Congress in 2016 as a Democrat. He resigned his congressional seat in August after winning the Democratic gubernatorial primary.

“I am a trustworthy person. I follow my heart,” Crist told Fox when asked if his shifting alliances were evidence of political opportunism.

“I did change political parties, because my party left me. I didn’t leave it. It started with the rise of the Tea Party, and then it metastasized under Trump, and here’s where we are today, where you got people who are denying elections getting nominated by the Republican Party for offices all over America. It’s a mess,” he added.

In a letter released Tuesday, a number of Crist’s former staffers and colleagues, including his ex-chief of staff George LeMieux and his former lieutenant governor, Jeff Kottkamp, wrote that DeSantis was the “clear” choice for governor.

“The undersigned represent former colleagues and staff of Charlie Crist. Together, we have known Charlie in virtually all phases of his career and public life,” the letter read. 

“The choice this November could not be more clear: we unanimously endorse Governor Ron DeSantis for re-election,” it read.

“Governor DeSantis has delivered for Florida. He has led our state with courage and conviction. He has demonstrated his ability to lead us through difficult times. We stand with Governor DeSantis because the stakes are too high,” it added.

Apartments owned by Warnock’s church evict ‘homeless’ tenants while senator receives hefty housing stipend

By Jon Brown | Fox News

A downtown Atlanta apartment building mostly owned by the church of Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., has reportedly been evicting disadvantaged tenants while the church pays the senator a hefty monthly housing stipend.

Ebenezer Baptist Church, which pays Warnock a sizable $7,417 monthly housing allowance as its senior pastor, is 99% owner of the Columbia Tower at MLK Village, where residents have received eviction notices for owing as little as $25.88 in past-due rent, according to documents obtained by The Washington Free Beacon.

Eight tenants at Columbia Tower, which is also run by Columbia Residential and described as a haven for the “chronically homeless” and those afflicted with “mental disabilities,” have been issued eviction notices since early 2020 for owing an average of $125 in rent.

Five cases were related to rent less than one month late, and two led to court-ordered evictions carried out by the Fulton County Marshal’s Department. Six of them were dismissed, and four remain open.

As a charitable organization, Columbia Tower has paid $77.77 in property taxes during the past seven years and has received more than $15 million in taxpayer-funded assistance since 2005, according to tax records obtained by the Free Beacon.

“They treat me like a piece of s—. They’re not compassionate at all,” one 69-year-old Black resident who is a Vietnam veteran told the Free Beacon. He explained how he was issued an eviction notice last month for $192 in past-due rent. He told the outlet he was almost evicted last year over $179, but he was allowed to stay after he paid an addition $325 in fees.

“It’s disheartening. It’s horrible. It’s actually horrifying,” another resident told the outlet. “We need the help. I understand churches take care of their pastors, but the excess, it’s not good. Not when you have people that need help here.”

The anonymous resident, who also paid hundreds in fees, said she was threatened with eviction after being one day late on her rent. (Click to continue reading)

WaPo gives Sen. Patty Murray ‘Four Pinocchios’ for saying Republicans plan to ‘end’ Social Security, Medicare

By Joseph A. Wulfsohn

The Washington Post handed down four “Pinocchios” to Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., for her claim warning of the “end” Social Security and Medicare if Republicans take control of Congress.

Murray, who is fighting in a tightening reelection battle against GOP challenger Tiffany Smiley, tweeted on Sunday, “Republicans plan to end Social Security and Medicare if they take back the Senate.”

Glenn Kessler, the Post’s fact-checker, characterized Murray’s tweet as a “‘Medicare’ attack” to win over senior voters.

“Don’t worry, seniors: There is no such plan,” Kessler assured elderly readers. (Click to continue reading)

Stop the Lies: There was no Insurrection or Domestic Terrorist Attack by Trump Supporters

By Carrie K. Hutchens

I don’t approve of violence, and while I wish no one had entered the Capitol building on January 6th, it certainly wasn’t a domestic terrorist attack or an insurrection.  Anyone who suggests it was, is either uninformed, an indoctrinated puppet or a sleazy gaslighter that has something to gain from the lie and the continued attack on Trump and his supporters.  Count on it.

I’m quite tired of the Collins, McConnells and all the others in Congress who present themselves as oh so righteous, while being both blind and bullheaded.  Yes, I am giving some of them the benefit of the doubt, though I’m not sure they deserve it.  They’re in Congress, after all, so they must know more than any of us, right?  At least that is how some of them come across as thinking.

Trump did not ask ole Pence to void the electoral votes.  He asked him to delay the count, until thorough investigations could be carried out.  I heard that was a legit request and it is one that should have been honored, not for Trump, but for the voters.  Hear that Pence?  For the “legally registered voters.”

I, for one, don’t want to hear how there was no evidence of voter fraud.  Kind of difficult to gather evidence when no one is bothering to look for any or half-arse doing so, don’t you think?

If a bank employee called and said there was money stolen from the bank, would you likewise merely say there was no evidence?  No, you would expect an investigation would be carried out.  Funds would be compared to what funds were supposed to be there per documentation.  And once that was completed, an investigation would ensue to ascertain who had access and by what means it was possible for any of those people to readily remove the missing money.

By the way, embezzlement can often go on for years before being detected.  But you think in 24 to 48 hours, one can ascertain that, though there was voter fraud, it wasn’t enough to change the outcome of an election?

I have a bridge for sale, as they say.

There are many questionable things that occurred Election Day and night.  Why would anyone blow it off?  Would they do so if it weren’t for the fact that everything odd (suspicious) went against President Trump?

The oh so righteous should especially ask themselves that question.  Does their hatred of Trump blind them to the truth or the desire to seek it?

I think it does.

The problem with thinking, even subconsciously, that it’s okay for cheating to have occurred because it is only Trump – is that once it is done to one – it can be done to anyone and everyone.  It opens the gate.  Yes, it opens the gate to a world of broken rules, cheating, lying and “by any means necessary” behavior.  No one is safe under such a realm – not even the self-righteous Trump hating people in Congress.

I’ll be honest.

Every time someone says things such as, “Trump’s false claims” or “without evidence” – I blow my stack. 

Those people sure have lit a fire under me and not in a good way.  They are calling me a liar.  They are lying to me about me.  They are telling me that what I saw I did not see no matter that I did.    And, of course, they are doing this very thing to everyone else that saw inappropriate behavior and/or discrepancies. This is called “gaslighting” and it is not acceptable behavior under any circumstances – not even by the so-called righteous.

I can truthfully say that if I saw the very same things occurring to a candidate I was totally against – I would feel it as wrong as I do with this situation with Trump and the 2020 Election.  I don’t believe in lying or cheating, even about or towards people I can’t stand.

Call it wrongful behavior.  Call it a criminal act.  But don’t call what transpired on January 6th an insurrection or an act of domestic terror by Trump supporters.  It was neither.  It was merely, by Trump supporters anyways, an attempt to be heard and a rightful call for an investigation prior to confirming as true what was actually questionable.  We voters do, after all, deserve election results that are assured to be true and accurate.  That’s how it is supposed to work.  Did it?

Teachers union sues Rhode Island mom over critical race theory public records requests, cites teacher privacy

By Sam Dorman | Fox News

The Rhode Island branch of a major teachers union is suing to block a school district from fulfilling a mother’s public records requests, citing the sheer volume of requests and concerns about teacher privacy.

The case revolves around a mom, Nicole Solas, who caught national attention for her quest to address critical race theory (CRT) in her child’s district. School board members previously considered suing Solas over her copious records requests – at least 200but declined prior to the recent lawsuit.

“We are asking the Court to conduct a balancing test to determine whether our members’ privacy rights outweigh the public interest,” said Jennifer Azevedo, who serves as deputy director of the National Education Association Rhode Island (NEARI). “We believe they do, and those records should either not be disclosed or should be redacted accordingly.”

In a filing dated Thursday, NEARI requested a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction from the state’s superior court. Both Solas and employees of the school district are named as defendants.

Solas fired back, telling Fox News, “You cannot be employed by the state and also demand immunity from public scrutiny. That’s not how open government works in America. Academic transparency is not a collective bargaining negotiation. It’s a parental right.”

NEARI’s verified complaint, which was filed Monday, states: “Given the circumstances of the requests, it is likely that any teachers who are identifiable and have engaged in discussions about things like critical race theory will then be the subject of teacher harassment by national conservative groups opposed to critical race theory.”

Cornell law professor William Jacobson also argued that “[t]his lawsuit makes little sense on its face. The unions purport to be protecting their members non-public documents and  information, but the public records law only applies to “public records as defined under the statute.”

The filing from Monday, however, seeks for the court to examine certain categories of documents which are “potentially public records” under the Access to Public Records Act.

It adds that if records aren’t determined to constitute a “clearly unwarranted invasion of privacy,” they should be disclosed with redactions of personally identifiable information or “information which may lead to the identity of such teachers.”

The lawsuit reflected an ongoing battle playing out across the country where frustrated parents are demanding answers from education officials.

Both the NEA and American Federation of Teachers (AFT) have opposed efforts to limit CRT and its related ideas in school. NEA previously approved a resolution conveying its desire to fight “anti-CRT rhetoric.”

Another prompted Senate Republicans’ scrutiny by declaring that the NEA would “research the organizations attacking educators doing anti-racist work and/or use the research already done and put together a list of resources and recommendations for state affiliates, locals, and individual educators to utilize when they are attacked.”
