Lydia Glaize insults Georgia parents

It's painfully obvious that Lydia Glaize, a Democrat state representative from Georgia, isn't worried about insulting parents. If she was worried about insult Georgia parents, she wouldn't have said "I see parents being able to direct their child’s education, and they are already in the lower 25 percentile. Meaning, a lot of those parents did not finish high school, could not finish their own education. I am extremely concerned that we would put money in their hands, that entire piece of life in the hands of parents who are not qualified to make those decisions, and they don’t have the money to put in the difference that their child would need to attend a private school."

Representative Glaize is referring to the Georgia Promise Scholarship Act. After mentioning students attending private schools, Rep. Glaize admitted that "her children attended private schools, but said parents should pay for tuition themselves and expressed opposition to vouchers that would make private schools more accessible to lower-income Georgians."

I'm betting that's the Democrats' way of saying students whose parents can't afford other options should stay trapped in failing schools. I'd love to hear Rep. Glaize's answer to the story of Tim Scott's grandfather. Sen. Scott's grandfather couldn't read but he'd sit at the breakfast table and pretend to read the morning newespaper. Because he modeled that behavior, his grandchildren picked up on that. His grandson is now a U.S. Senator and might be a presidential candidate.

Ben Carson's mother didn't graduate, either, but she insisted that her children read daily. One of her sons became the only surgeon to separate conjoined twins. After that, he became a presidential candidate, then was picked to be one of the best HUD Secretaries in U.S. history.

Ignore the commentary if you'd like, exept for Jessica Tarlov's opinion. Tarlov's opinion. She said that Democrats have to "make a potent case" against vouchers. The problem isn't the vouchers. It's what I've titled the Education Establishment. The teachers' union is the biggest part of the problem. School boards are the next biggest part of the problem. Some school boards are utterly arrogant. It's impossible to explain that away.

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
