Randi Weingarten's declaration of war

AFT President Randi Weingarten declared war against the GOP during a Wednesday night event. She isn't hiding her partisan leanings, which is partially surprising. Anyone that's looked at any Democrat's FEC filing knows that AFT supports that Democrat.

At Wednesday night's event, Weingarten said "There are legislators, mostly from the Republican party, who are currently bullying teachers and trying to stop us from teaching kids honest history." By saying these things, Weingarten is driving people away from Democrats. Loudoun County has jumped into the news a lot lately for fighting against CRT. The thing is that Biden won that county in 2020 with 60% of the vote.

Weingarten's speech likely drove lots of Loudoun County parents into the Republicans' arms. During Day 2 of the TEACH 2021 event, Weingarten said that CRT "is not a theory to be taught to school children K-12." Despite that statement, Weingarten said that they have a legal defense fund with $2,500,000 in it to fight against any districts or states that prohibit the teaching of CRT. Check out this diatribe from Ms. Weingarten:

During this impassioned diatribe, Ms. Weingarten implies that the teachers in AFT only teach "honest history" and want only the best for their kids. To use an old Sherman Potter phrase from MASH, mule fritters! This is the union that continuously rejected the CDC's guidance, then lobbied the CDC in the hopes that AFT teachers wouldn't have to returrn to in-person learning.

Simply put, AFT and the NEA's credibility is virtually nonexistent. Weingarten's responsibility in this situation is to help AFT look as good as possible. In this instance, their image won't get high marks.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio
