Nothing new under the sun
“The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.” ~ Cicero, 55 BC
Unbelievable
Take your time and read these three short paragraphs. Especially focus on the wording and message in the third paragraph.
Education experts blasted a recent Department of Justice directive, which they say seems to advocate a racial quota system for punishing school kids for such transgressions as being late or chewing gum in class.
The memo, jointly released by the departments of Justice and Education on Wednesday, urges public schools to ditch so-called “zero tolerance” policies the feds claim disproportionately affect minority students. The letter, which was sent to all public schools, said even well-intentioned policies are discriminatory if they end up being applied in greater proportion to minority children.
“Schools … violate Federal law when they evenhandedly implement facially neutral policies and practices that, although not adopted with the intent to discriminate, nonetheless have an unjustified effect of discriminating against students on the basis of race,” read the letter. “Examples of policies that can raise disparate impact concerns include policies that impose mandatory suspension, expulsion, or citation (e.g., ticketing or other fines or summonses) upon any student who commits a specified offense — such as being tardy to class, being in possession of a cellular phone, being found insubordinate, acting out, or not wearing the proper school uniform.”
2 cents:
1. Schools have been put on notice that the DOJ may pursue charges against schools that fairly, neutrally, even handed – all the same plane – practice of punishing disobedience, not following the school’s rules. Gee – what happens with punting accountability to when they are of age to go to college or military or the workforce? Really!!
2. The implication of Holder’s comments are that minorities are the most disobedient. If a white person said that or implied that he or she would be on the screen of every liberal news show, tabloid, blog and paper as a racist. Where is Sharpton, Jackson and the racist hacks now? Why isn’t CNN and HLN running 24 hours on the racist remarks of the DOJ. Oh, I know why – Holder is not white. We all know (wink, wink) only white people can be racist.
rambling commentary
This week the WH of the USA has been scrambling trying to position itself in any way it can that will not appear that it wants to be a leader in the world. Krauthammer points out in his column this week that this continued strategy of the WH has made nations and governments that were once our allies now looking for other ways to grapple with the issues pushing in on them. It seems to me that the WH is trying to make allies of governments that represent some of the most dangerous in the world, aka Iran and Syria. Ostracizing Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Ukraine, Japan, South Korea, EU, Israel, Iraq, Pakistan etc. Central Europe is feeling the press of Putin’s Russia. All of these governments have been dealt icy policy changes from the WH. I realize no government made of human beings will be perfect but surely they can strive to be better than evil, apathetic, narcissistic, amoral, immoral and scandalous. It is a sad reality but in reference to the USA’s WH, no one should trust the current administration. No one meaning other governments and nations but also people like me, citizens of the nation of the USA. Their is a far left neo-socialist agenda in play via the current president which wants a world where all are dependent on governments because the infrastructures of society as each nation knows it are crippled or flat out destroyed. Of course these type of people will be free of the trappings of these degenerate philosophies so it is all theory to them. They won’t have to engage and survive in the new practicality of the destructive forces they unleash on society as a whole. This type of thinking is a cancer and in order to improve quality of life to the patient (society), radical dangerous decisions and actions have to be made. The society/patient may eventually survive but their quality of life is forever weakened. These type of so-called thinkers that institutions prop up and place keys of power in are sociopaths in suits and fine clothing. Well groomed, polished teeth, but beneath the clothes – away from the sight of eyes is disease and putrification. They are corrupters. Designer-diseased pathogens that have the looks of peace and well being but result in a “bad trip” and destruction of the host/society.
The wares being pumped out by the USA now, near future and the past six years are dangerous, destructive cells that allies need to avoid. This administration and specifically the president need to be managed and removed from opportunities of influence, power and infection. Mitigating the activity and crossing with the USA now and in the near future may be difficult in the present but it will ultimately be easier than having to detangle, disinfect and treat one’s government and society from the implications of allowing the relationship continue as it had in the past.
Bottom-line: nations of the world – do not engage with the government of the USA now and the near future. Citizens of the USA, don’t trust your government; it does NOT have your best interests and liberty at heart.
Odds and Ends
- I find it interesting and telling just how the black/African-American population and MSM don’t lift up Cosby as a role model and guru for their people. Instead of the Jay-Z, Sharpton, and hundreds of hip-hop/music celebrities, why not Bill Cosby? Undoubtedly it has to do with his message that is often contrary to the poor advice, position and opinions of the black-celebrity majority. It seems to me he will get a headline reference once a year on a conservative website. I do not know if I would agree with all of his views but the ones that have made it to my awareness.
- Hopefully the courts will side with the Fox reporter and put an end to the abuse of power by the law enforcement and government. It’s clear her source was accurate and she reported responsibly which is what a reporter is supposed to do. Seems to me that her source should be viewed as a whistle-blower and they need to be protected.
- Apparently a lot of the reduction in personal debt in the average USA citizen’s household has been erased and the old practices depitalism are back with a vengeance.
Catching up
A lot of things have been going on in personal life which has kept me from posting here like I want to. I have quite a bit of articles and news in my folder as things to share which are somewhat old news now. At the bottom of the post are links to articles of interest I wanted to share and still do.
The developments in Egypt seem to be improving. Why do I write that? Because the leader of the MB has been arrested as well as many of the high level leaders. Some were captured dressed like women trying to leave the country. I’m sure others hid among children and women using them as human shields being the cowards and immoral troublemakers they are. Saudi Arabia stood up for the people of Egypt in the nick of time and got the idiots in our government and other WH cronies in Europe to shut up with their pro-MB rhetoric. Absolute idiots – all of them. Of course blood has been shed – that is what happens when you try to disarm and remove power from murderers and terrorists. I think the nation is fortunate that so far the death toll is not higher than it is.
Syria and more evidence of current chemical weapons. I doubt Assad did it or put another way – that he authorized such use. Hopefully he will give investigators full access and the whole story will come out. I suspect it will be the actions of radicals – Islamists – also known as terrorists trying to bring intervention of the world in to the arena to remove him from power so that they can hopefully fill the vacuum when the dust settles (see recent history in Egypt and Libya).
So quickly here in the USA the NSA’s intrusion in our lives with the full power and knowledge of the Democrat WH has become old news and back burnered (if even on the stove). The actions by the UK against Greenwald’s partner shows the heart of those we are suppose to actually trust. The loser president of the US pontificating a couple weeks ago of real independent investigation into the NSA practices has been revealed to be —– wait for it ——– yet another ——— L I E. It is a team of four people, one a recent acting head of the CIA and 3 former WH advisers. Meanwhile in the USA the majority of people are tuning into some show Duck Dynasty. Absolutely no wonder we got what we have in leadership positions in our governments.
Big dive coming in the US economy. Never rely on the government numbers. They are skewed – they admit they are if you are willing to read the details and fine print. To understand the state of the economy you must look at the actual numbers of the companies/manufacturers/etc. It is obvious when looking at sales and profits things are off. When welfare hand outs are at their highest levels ever – don’t “drink the kool-aid” and look around.
On a less serious note I see that a huge blunder has been made by Warner Brothers.
