It always gets ya down. Yeah, it is raining here in Ohio … again. Actually, it’s cold enough for it to be a ‘wintery mix’. And then, come this weekend, we will be sunny and pushing 80 degrees. Hence why our area is one of the hardest places in the country to forecast weather far outside of 24-36 hours. Our not-so-cute accute cabin fever continues.

Paul Bedard: White House Report Card: Biden has put America in reverse

This week’s White House Report Card finds that President Joe Biden, in just over a year, has changed the direction of the nation, shifting it into reverse.

Ignoring his Republican critics, Democrats are now wincing at crushing inflation and high interest rates that are erasing wage gains, putting homeownership and retirement further away for many, and making it harder for some to fill kitchen cupboards.

And even Democrats are rapping his no-border immigration policies that have seen the president let in over 1.5 million illegal migrants. Just this week, his administration resumed flying illegal immigrants into communities under the cover of darkness.

Polls show his policies are unpopular. The Quinnipiac University National Poll put his approval rating at 33% this week. And the scandal involving son Hunter Biden is starting to splatter on the president’s shoes…

Joe Hoft: LAWRENCE SELLIN: The Democrat Party’s Jump to Socialism Is Fueling Their Destruction of America

I mean, WTF did you people think he/they meant by “Build Back” Better? You first have to dismantle and destroy something before ‘building back’. And the ‘better’ part was to be built back in his/their ideology-driven agenda for us and America. “Build Back Better” is a synonym for “fundamentally transform” and “hope and change” which had the same intention. They picked Biden as their Trojan horse to ride into power and control because of his lack of mental aptitude. He was a far easier puppet to present than another candidate with half-a-brain that might actually object to their step-by-steps of their master plan.

Cleaning Out the School House:

Anders Hagstrom: Florida rejects 41% of math textbooks for including CRT, most aimed at K-5 students: ‘Impermissible’: Florida rejected 41% of the 132 submitted textbooks

Today’s public school systems are an abomination to intellectual honesty, and honesty in general, and academic proficiency. Our hard-earned tax dollars, local/state/federal, are paying for these vulgar violations on the minds of our school children, the egregious insult on their parents authority and the educational malpractice to the local communities and society in this nation.

Twitchy: Christina Pushaw OWNS toolbags claiming CRT isn’t taught in schools with ACTUAL math homework from Missouri public school (screenshot)

Pushaw informs those scoffing that school work papers, like the above, are fake that this particular school is confirming it and now dealing with it. And she makes a very valid point about our children’s status up against that of the children of our world adversaries. For example, China is not peppering their children’s education with CRT and gender/sexual crap.

So, whose current youngest generation will be more mentally and intellectually equipped to … on, I dunno … do stuff like this…

The return to Earth of three astronauts on Saturday after six months at China’s new space station marks a landmark step in the country’s space ambitions, ending its longest crewed mission ever.

The world’s second-largest economy has put billions into its military-run space programme, with hopes of eventually sending humans to the Moon…

Meanwhile, our economy is deliberately limping wet-footed on tissue paper. Oh, yeah, speaking of the ‘military’, huh…

Jesse James: The Department Of Defense Just Released An “Equity Action Plan” And I’m Sure This Is Probably The Most Important Thing For Our Military To Focus On Right Now … This bullshit will not save lives or win wars. Nor is our current military taken seriously in the face(s) of these growing threats from our enemies (and that includes Putin’s arrogant killing field of Ukraine)…

Meanwhile, back to the schoolhouse; DeSantis keeps putting Florida’s children first in education…

Robert Jonathan: Florida rejects math textbooks in record numbers over critical race theory … When you hear the left scoffing and laughing that “CRT isn’t being taught in the schools”, the exact book is not being issued to students as ‘tet books’. No, the other classroom textbooks have been heavily peppered with this activist bullshit that has zero to do with the subject, in this case mathematics books. It is not-so-subliminal conditioning and indoctrination.

John Kass: Paul Vallas: Institutional Racism in America–The Teachers Union-Dominated Public Education System

Yes, there is institutional racism in this country. It’s in our antiquated public school system. I’m not suggesting that is necessarily by intent, but it’s an undeniable outcome of the status quo.

Institutional racism both festers and flourishes in the absence of school choice.

It festers when communities, particularly, poor urban school districts, are denied quality educational options and are unable to force fundamental changes in their often-failing neighborhood schools.

It flourishes because teachers unions spend fortunes to preserve their destructive monopoly on America’s public school districts…

Crime and Unpunisedhment:

Daniel Chaitin: ‘We have the laptop’: GOP investigator boasts of Hunter Biden ‘treasure trove’ … I’m guessing this evidence is a Hell of a lot more empirical and solidly and authentically documented than what Adam Schiff and the dems claimed they had on Trump.

VIDEO: WSJ Opinion: The Media Discovers Hunter Biden’s Laptop: Holman Jenkins and Kim Strassel on what took so long

People can decide whether it’s news or not for themselves. The press has an obligation to report the truth, and if this were anybody else’s son, any other politician’s son, this story would be all over the news pages. The other thing that is ignored is the intervention of 50 former intelligence officials to spread the complete canard total fabrication that this was a Russian disinformation plot and there was no Hunter Biden laptop before the election. You know, we’ve had two presidential elections in a row now, you know, you can make a plausible case that national security state intervened either intentionally or ham-fistedly and altered the outcome. It’s quite possible the Hunter Biden story might have defeated Joe Biden if the press had given it the attention it would have given in any other circumstances…

Biden’s Bored at the Border:

Given the non-counted “got-aways” the above number for March can safely be assumed to have been well-over a quarter million illegals came into our country last month. Get ready for a much bigger number, folks.

John Solomon: Ahead of Title 42 lifting, Biden creates ‘exception’ to let illegal migrants into U.S. early: Memo sent to Border Patrol creates widespread exemptions to health rule starting Thursday.

Well ahead of next month’s lifting of Title 42 immigration restrictions, President Joe Biden has ordered Border Patrol agents to begin allowing illegal migrants into the country by granting them multiple exemptions to the current health regulation, according to a document reviewed by Just the News.

The memo sent last week identified a half dozen ports of entry (POEs) where exceptions can be granted and a broad range of conditions that qualify for the exemptions. The order takes effect Thursday.

“Beginning April 21, 2022, OFO will increase its capabilities to process noncitizens potentially amenable for an exception to Title 42,” the memo reviewed by Just the News says.

“Factors weighing in favor of an exception,” the memo explains, “include the following: a physical or mental illness, disability; pregnancy; lack of access to safe housing or shelter in Mexico (under 21 years old or younger or over 70, including families); and an indication that an individual has been threatened or harmed in Mexico.”

Under the new rules, if a single member of a family qualifies for the exception, in most cases the entire family can come into the country legally, Border Patrol agents were told.

A senior U.S. official, speaking only on condition of anonymity, said the exemption policy means the flood of illegal immigrants coming into the country could start much earlier than the May 21 lifting of Title 42.

“We are bracing for an avalanche to begin in just a few days,” the official said…

Meanwhile, the direct results of the Biden open border collusion with the cartels…

Eli Cahan: Teen deaths from opioid overdoses are skyrocketing thanks to the rise of Fentanyl into the country … These are not necessarily kids taking the drug on purpose. This is the result(s) of kids taking other drugs (legal drugs taken illegally and illegal drugs like cocaine) that have been laced with Fentanyl.

Shea Bradley-Farrell (5/19/21): Biden’s Border Policy Is an Economic Boon for Cartels, Assault on American Communities … Not only are they taking thousands/per-person to get them up through Mexico to cross our border, but they are using some of thos illegal aliens (even very young children) as muels to carry in drugs. And while the Border Patrol and local authorities are distracted and deluged by the swarms coming in, the actual cartel drug-runners are among those “got-aways” not being officially counted.

Should Cuellar survive the primary, and should he go on to win re-election, he should formally switch parties to the GOP.

Musk vs Twitter:

FPJ: Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey breaks his silence; slams board amid Elon Musk’s takeover push

Dorsey, who left Twitter in November last year — handing over the baton to Indian-origin Parag Agrawal — remains a board member until next month with his 2.2 per cent share.

Reacting to a Twitter user, Dorsey said late on Sunday: “It (the board) has consistently been the dysfunction of the company”.

The former Twitter CEO also agreed with venture capitalist Gary Tan, who posted that a badly run board “can literally make a billion dollars in value disappear.”

When another Twitter user asked Dorsey if he was allowed to speak publicly about the board, he replied, “No”.

Musk had said that, “With Jack departing, the Twitter board collectively owns almost no shares!

“Objectively, their economic interests are simply not aligned with shareholders,” the Tesla CEO posted…
