Elk River education establishment fights back

When David fought Goliath in the Valley of Elath, David had God on his side and 5 smooth stones. Now that Minnesota's education establishment has let Mindy Freiberg and John Anderson know that they're planning on making their lives miserable, their ace-in-the-hole is Rep. Walter Hudson, who represents HD-30A in Minnesota's legislature. As the old cliche goes, the proof is in this article, which was written by Sheilla Qualls.

I'm not saying that Rep. Hudson is God's equivalent. He isn't. That isn't to say that Rep. Hudson isn't someone I wouldn't want on my side. FULL DISCLOSURE: I've known Rep. Hudson since the TEA Party started and consider him a friend. Let's jump into Mrs. Qualls' article.

A significant portion of the school board meeting dealt with this censure resolution against "pro-parent" Directors Freiberg and Anderson. Specifically, it cited "Board Policy 209", which said that Rep. Anderson wasn't "prepared for Board meetings and impeded the work of the Board." The same charge was levied against Director Freiberg. Make sure to read the entire resolution. It's 2 pages. Next, let's get into Rep. Hudson's running commentary, provided via X, formerly Twitter. Check this out:

According to the resolution, Director Freiberg violated "the Board's communications protocols by directly contacting District staff directly and not working through the Superintendent." OMMIGOD! Director Freiberg had the audacity of talking directly with paid district staff rather than contacting the Superintendent, who likely would've provided her with the view from 30,000 feet rather than giving her a view from ground level. Doesn't Director Freiberg know that she works for the Superintendent, not the people who elected her? Then there's this unforced fiasco: When the audience applauds Director Anderson's rebuttal of the Board's resolution, the Chair goes nuclear, including the implied threat of throwing the entire audience out. The dictatorial tone to the meeting was unmistakable. The chair's attitude was similar to the attorney's attitude. The public, otherwise known as citizens, aka constituents, were to behave. The rulings of the Chair were final and absolute.

Further, the Chair let it be known that Board worked for the Superintendent, not the citizens. It's apparent that the education establishment thinks of themselves as rulers and the people as subjects, not citizens.

What's required is the defeat of the Marxist autocrats on this board ASAP. That require the community coming together and picking a slate of candidates, then supporting them. Explain to the citizens how they're being told what's acceptable or unacceptable. Check this out from the censure resolution:

Additionally, in an email, Director Anderson referred to an activity in a Minneapolis elementary school as a "drag queen performance." The Board finds this comment to be discriminatory, unprofessional and inappropriate for holding public office.
That's outside the Board's jurisdiction. Further, I'm betting that the citizens in Elk River would've overwhelmingly agreed with Director Anderson. I can't imagine many moms wanting their grade school children seeing drag show performances. This video is of a school board meeting in Idaho but the attitude of the Board Chair is identical:

That's what a dictator acts like.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Image
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
