The personification of hubris

Nikole Hannah-Jones is the personification of hubris. That's the first thing I thought when I heard about her interview with Chuck Todd on Meet the Press yesterday. During the interview, Ms. Hannah-Jones said that she isn't a professional educator.

That's odd considering the fact that she's part of the faculty at Howard University. During the interview, Ms. Hannah-Jones did her best Terry McAuliffe impression. I'd prefer it if she'd find Dr. Fauci and take him with her and disappear. But I digress.

During the interview, Hannah-Jones said "We send our children to school because we want them to be taught by people who have an expertise in the subject area. And that is not my job. When the governor or the candidate said that he didn't think parents should be deciding what's being taught in school, he was panned for that. But that's just the fact. This is why we send our children to school and don't homeschool, because these are the professional educators who have the expertise to teach social studies, to teach history, to teach science, to teach literature. And I think we should leave that to the educators."

If teacher union leadership didn't have such total disdain for parents, that might be a plausible explanation. If teachers union leadership wasn't utterly corrupt, Hannah-Jones might have a point. It's worth noting how often 'the experts' have gotten things wrong the last eighteen months. Further, it isn't like literature, social studies and history can't be self-taught. Has Ms. Hannah-Jones noticed the spike in online college classes the past 5 years? Apparently, she hasn't.

The people taking these classes aren't getting teaching certificates at the end of these classes. That doesn't mean they aren't qualified to teach about the civil war, Abraham Lincoln or other subjects. At minimum, they're qualified to serve as a check-and-balance against Hannah-Jones' 1619 Project-type propaganda.

Why would anyone think that teacher union leadership isn't heavily biased against Americanism? Ms. Hannah-Jones insists that we let professionals teach children because they have the expertise to produce the right results. She's also the one who's pushing the teaching of fake US history. Trusting professionals isn't the same as trusting professionals with integrity. It's apparent that Ms. Hannah-Jones isn't a person with integrity.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

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

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
