Last year we brought you the story of the Atlanta Public School System’s systemic failure, fraud and corruption:  Top to Bottom

Across Atlanta Public Schools, staff worked feverishly in secret to transform testing failures into successes. Teachers and principals erased and corrected mistakes on students’ answer sheets. Area superintendents silenced whistle-blowers and rewarded subordinates who met academic goals by any means possible. Superintendent Beverly Hall (pictured above far left) and her top aides ignored, buried, destroyed or altered complaints about misconduct, claimed ignorance of wrongdoing and accused naysayers of failing to believe in poor children’s ability to learn.  This went on for more than a decade.  (more)

Now this newest revelation comes to light –  It was a brazen and surprisingly long-lived scheme, authorities said, to help aspiring public school teachers cheat on the tests they must pass to prove they are qualified to lead their classrooms.

For 15 years, teachers in three Southern states paid Clarence Mumford Sr. (pictured left) — himself a longtime educator — to send someone else to take the tests in their place, authorities said. Each time, Mumford received a fee of between $1,500 and $3,000 to send one of his test ringers with fake identification to the Praxis exam. In return, his customers got a passing grade and began their careers as cheaters, according to federal prosecutors in Memphis.

Authorities say the scheme affected hundreds — if not thousands — of public school students who ended up being taught by unqualified instructors. (more…)

Of course they do….  everything is racist.   EVERYTHING.  Last month it was Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches that made you a racist, now it’s Turkey. 

(Progressive Logic) […]  But, seriously, I mean no disrespect, especially in this holiday celebration of fellowship and thanksgiving. And, yes, I’m familiar with the phrase “de gustibus non est disputandum“—there’s no arguing about taste. But in the case of white meat from a Thanksgiving turkey, well, I’d argue about that. White meat turkey has no taste. Its slabs of dry, fibrous material are more like cardboard conveyances, useful only for transporting flavorsome food like stuffing and gravy from plate to mouth. It’s less a foodstuff than a turkey app, simulated meat, a hyperlink to real food. […]

And the guy was boasting that his turkeys were “bred to have 18 to 22 percent more white meat.” After which the CBS announcer made a stupid wisecrack about breasts that alone would make you want to forgo the silicone-textured mega-butterballs.

And these are ciabatta-bread people, not Wonder Bread people! Do they still associate white meat with refinement? It was enough to make me wonder whether there could be a racial, if not racist, subtext here. Perhaps there is a clue in the shifting fate of the “other white meat”—pork. (more…)

Having just written about how inherently racist Democrats are, cue the Joe Biden audio visual demonstration.   Just imagine for one second if anyone from the Republican party said that….

Here are Biden’s remarks, from the pool report:

“If you’re not an Easterner it’s hard to understand that the ocean to us is the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone Park and everything else combined. It is a gigantic part of not only our economy but who we are. It’s a gigantic part of the culture as well. (more…)

It cannot be stated frequently enough the simple fact, yes fact, that Democrats are the party who: uses race to divide people, are violent to an extreme, advocate for murdering police and law enforcement, and are consistently caught bombing and destroying America.

Whether President Obama’s mentor Bill Ayers and the Weather Underground in the 1960’s, or Nancy Pelosi’s Occupy Movement in 2011/12, the goal of the left is to destroy, kill, and assassinate.

It was the Occupy protestors who attempted to blow up a bridge and infrastructure in Cleveland. It was the Occupy protestors who chant “kill the cops” in Oakland. And now, more recently, it is an occupy “Doctor” who is arrested for making bombs and weapons in his basement.

And Nancy Pelosi says: “God Bless Them“…

Doctor Roberto Rivera, an #Occupy Wall Street medic, was arrested this week for storing chemicals to make bombs and assault rifles in his basement. ABC reported: (more…)

Through the Chaff….

President Obama said he gave the order to “do whatever it takes to protect our people“.  Was he using the same definition of “our people” as Eric Holder?

Fair enough.   Who did Obama give that order to?   Where is the order?  What stopped them from being able to carry out that order? (more…)

The consistent lies and outright scheming from the Obama White House are about to reach sunlight.  Various intelligence reporters are now pointing out that Petraeus is stating the Susan Rice “talking points” about Benghazi DID NOT come from his intelligence office gathering, they came from the White House.  (Obama screwed up yesterday when he openly took ownership of them – his handlers are freaking)

EYES WIDE OPEN – Now reports are leaking that Petraeus is “under investigation” for security leaks.  THIS IS NOT ACCIDENTAL OR UNCONNECTED.  Remember the goal: The White House GOAL:   1.) Move current opinion of Gen Petraeus 2.) Use CIA Angle as cover for misleading information. 3.) Take no responsibility for the lies and falsehoods. They must find a way to stop Petreaus from collapsing their narrative. (more…)

Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) :  “They are attacking this young African-American woman…”

According to Clyburn, it’s not that she’s incompetent, irrelevent, ineffective, small-minded, incapable, unfit, inefficient, inadequate, unqualified and a lousy representative example of The United States.   According to Clyburn – It’s not that she exhibits historical patterns of dysfunctional administrative behavior….

No, it’s because she’s black that Republicans are going after her. (more…)

Puerto Rico voted yesterday to become the 51st state – Barack Obama said he would honor their vote.

Almost 80% of the island’s electorate took part in the referendum, the fourth in the past 45 years.

With almost all the votes counted, almost 54% voted to change the island’s relationship with the US.   And in reply to a second question on what future they favored, nearly two-thirds wanted full statehood… (more…)
