This dove-tails with what we discussed yesterday.   The progressive left works diligently in the shadows to undermine traditional American principles of freedom.   Their efforts within the educational system are intensifying as the spotlight upon their manipulations increases.

Note this was a *handout* by the teacher in history class, and not part of the main instructional process, approved curriculum.   Note also this was in Wisconsin – we well documented the efforts of the Prog-Leftists as they attacked Governor Scott Walker, and most of those attacks were spearheaded by the Wisconsin Teachers Union.

This should alarm ALL Patriots.

Earlier we brought you the story of how the Housing and Urban Development has lost account for over $700 million in taxpayer money they slopped into the grievance trough after Katrina.

Here is yet another example of how The Federal Government promotes the fiscal dependency initiatives.    The same department, H.U.D, now promoting discrimination complaints for muslims.   

When you read the claim by H.U.D. ask yourself a simple question.   Is there really rampant discrimination based on religion in housing?   Really?…, or is this just another Pigfordesque guise. (more…)

People wonder why the professional grievance industry is so powerful and apparently untouchable for reform.   Consider how much money they have manipulated from the trough.   Pigford 1, Pigford 2,  and now this…  $700 million unaccounted for (and that’s just in ONE program).

Yahoo – Where did all the money go?

“Your guess is as good as mine,” David Montoya, the inspector general of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, says of $700 million in missing taxpayer money that Louisiana homeowners were given in the wake of Hurricane Katrina to elevate and protect their homes from future storms.

A new report released from the inspector general’s office shows that more than 24,000 homeowners who received grants of up to $30,000 to elevate their homes either misspent or pocketed the money.

“The fact of the matter is that the money they received was for a specific purpose and the specific purpose was to elevate these homes to avoid future catastrophes,” Montoya tells Power Players.

He rates the home elevation program as little more than a complete failure. (more…)

Another one of those ‘PASS THE BILL TO SEE WHAT’S IN IT’ manuevers.  The last time did not work out too well.  [See: Obamacare] 

WASHINGTON DC – Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy vowed to move swiftly on immigration  legislation despite calls from conservatives, including Sen. Marco Rubio, to  slow the process.

Reacting to a Rubio (R-Fla.) letter over the weekend calling for extensive  hearings on the soon-to-be-unveiled immigration bill by a group of eight  senators, the Vermont Democrat said his panel would “consider” holding a hearing  on the measure once it was introduced. But Leahy raised concerns that waiting  too long could undermine the larger effort to pass the comprehensive bill,  calling the matter “urgent.”

Senate “Gang of Eight”

“While you have conducted the process of the ‘gang of eight’ behind closed  doors, I can assure you that it has always been my position … that the work of  the Committee should be open to the public,” Leahy said in a Tuesday letter, (more…)

Shock FAIL !!! 🙁   Ya just can’t make this stuff up…..

Orlando – Cecil Smith was sworn in as Sanford’s new police chief this morning and vowed to spend as much time in the community as he does behind his desk.

Smith, the former deputy chief in Elgin, Ill., was sworn in by Mayor Jeff Triplett at City Hall. About 100 people attended the event, including city commissioners, Seminole Sheriff Don Eslinger and dozens of police officers. (more)

(Via Freedomworks)  I am currently in my freshman year of high school and the incidents are happening more frequently and I believe are more severe.  As you can imagine, the ongoing pressure and bullying has been disturbing to me, my friends and my family.

Just before the 2010 Midterm election, I was on the front page of the local newspaper for my political volunteer work and my teachers noticed. One of my seven teachers made it very clear that she dissaproved of my civic engagement. In a period of two months, my Geography teacher frequently would take me aside after school for a few minutes and tell me how stupid, wrong and misguided I was for being Republican. The harassment with this specific teacher got so bad, I had to switch schools halfway through the year.  At this time I was only 12 years old. To my knowledge, this teacher was not disciplined at all for her actions. (more…)

It has been almost two years since we first discussed the rampant corruption in the Atlanta (Georgia) Public School System.   The initial reports were alarming beyond measure, and now the criminal charges are being discussed/levied.

ATLANTA – In another embarrassing blow to Atlanta public schools, nearly three dozen  former educators, including the ex-superintendent, were indicted Friday in one  of the nation’s largest test cheating scandals.

Former Superintendent Beverly Hall  (pictured left) faced charges including racketeering,  false statements and theft because prosecutors said some of the bonuses she  received were tied to falsified scores.

Hall retired just days before a state probe was released in 2011. She has  long denied knowing about the cheating or ordering it.

During a news conference Friday, Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard  provided examples of two students who demonstrated “the plight of many children”  in the Atlanta school system. He described a third-grader who failed a benchmark  exam and received the worst score in her reading class in 2006. The girl was  held back, yet when she took a separate assessment test not long after, she  passed with flying colors. (more…)

Yesterday President Obama stood arm in arm with the survivors of the Benghazi Massacre and led the nation in a promise that they shall never be forgotten.

Very deliberately President Obama said “speeches are not enough”, he went on to talk about the tears, anguish and pain felt by those family members of the fallen Benghazi heroes, and how they shall never be forgotten by the nation they served.

It was quite moving….

Wait, huh…. what’s that?…. Ooooh, Newtown people….  huh?  wha.. Sandy Hook…

Whoops, my bad.

Nevermind.

HatTip Tara – This is an update to the Detroit Protest that Jesse Jackson had called for.  Original story here

DETROIT – Detroiters are the victims of Jesse Jackson’s last – and worst – shakedown.  Unlike his past antics – allegedly designed to help the little guy in his struggle against The Man – this one is about Jackson trying to prove his relevance at a time when he has become irrelevant. Many people – OK, me – believe the tears Jackson shed in Chicago when Barack Obama won the presidency were not tears of joy – but rather tears of jealousy that the first black president was not him. Obama’s elevation rendered Jesse irrelevant.  The Reverend Un-necessary.

Money for the con game was gone. Al Sharpton knew it – and quickly got a gig on MSNBC (hosting a pathetic show -but it paid the bills). But Jackson was stuck.

Reverend Jackson needed a new shakedown.  […]   Now along comes the opportunity of a lifetime: a broken Detroit! A white, millionaire governor stealing Detroit from its people!  He swept into the city and promised mass civil disobedience.  It was like old times again!

But just 35 people showed up to protest Monday, the first day of the Emergency Manager. (continue reading)

WASHINGTON DC – President Barack Obama on Monday called for lawmakers in Washington to muster the “political courage” to pass comprehensive immigration reform that he can sign into law “as soon as possible.”

“We are making progress but we’ve got to finish the job,” Obama said at a naturalization ceremony for 28 new Americans at the White House.

The White House has offered support to the efforts of bipartisan lawmakers on Capitol Hill who have been working behind closed doors to craft reform legislation. (more…)
