A Nod To The Gods

……teachers unions and school administrators disagree. Congratulations Democrats.

 

A recent investigation shows that in six different schools in Baltimore not a single student was able to score proficient on statewide tests for either English or math. This horrific performance is despite the fact that Baltimore schools spend $16,000 per student which is the fourth-highest spending per student in the United States.

The fact that the schools in Baltimore perform so horribly despite receiving one of the highest amounts of funds per student flies in the face of the common liberal arguments that their schools do poorly because of a lack of funding. In fact, astudy by The Heritage Foundation found that there has been no significant increase in school performance despite massive increases in spending.    here….

It’s hard to dismiss the fact that the powers trying to demonize the Trump administration have been successful. It’s also embarrassingly obvious what they are doing and the ease at how it’s being done. None of this will end well.

Bolstered by their partisan allies, the media has acted as a beachhead for the assault on the Trump administration. Partisan organizations like Media Matters for America have helped to provide ammunition to the media and pour fuel on the fires of resistance among partisan activists. Eric Boehlert, a former journalist and now a writer at Media Matters, tweeted, following the revelation of a possible memo from Comey: “Trump obstructed justice THREE WEEKS INTO HIS FIRST TERM”

Boehlert provides no actual evidence of obstruction of justice. Rather, he runs with an intentional media narrative that the mere whisper, the idea, is in-and-of-itself proof that obstruction occurred. Thus Boehlert is affirmative in his tweet, not speculative. Because the administrative state, the progressive political partisans, and the media oppose the Trump administration, any whiff of maleficence is treated as the Gospel Truth.

 

These series of tweets illustrate the broader problem of collusion between the various elements of the partisan Left, the media, and the administrative state. The attack on Trump from within and without is coordinated and purposefully geared to make a lack of evidence seem like a mountain of evidence and be as damning as possible, although what it truly amounts to is a paper tiger. With the administrative state leaking and the partisans giving context, the media gins up a plot that declares Trump guilty of crimes of which there is no concrete evidence he committed. This is how you build the consensus behind a coup d’etat.      here….

 

Just a thought for Californians, you may want to put a leash on your elected officials before people on the other side take offense. Right leaning individuals will only take so much of these classless actions by these supposed politicians.

“The world, literally the world, is counting on all of you, counting on California to reject Trump’s deception and destructiveness,” said Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is among a crowded field of Democrats running for governor next year.

 U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris, often mentioned as a potential candidate for president in 2020, accused Trump of putting “Russia first, America second.”

In a sign of the vigor of the party’s distaste for the president, outgoing party Chair John Burton, a longtime Democratic lawmaker and power broker known for his blunt and profane manner, extended two middle fingers in the air as the crowd cheered and joined him.

“F— Donald Trump,” he said.

And here you have Nancy Pelosi laughing along with the other upstanding democrats flipping off the President of the United States. Your moonbat Governor called Californians “Free Loaders”, your business are fleeing the state, your taxes are the highest in the country, your cities are being overrun by third world illegal immigrants, and your middle class is becoming non-existent.
Keep it up you lefty asshats, eventually your population will respond.   H/T The Gateway Pundit for quote & image.

….if you can get it.

…….literally.

Mr. Macron, for example, is childless. So is German leader Angela Merkel. So is British Prime Minister Theresa May. The President of Italy has three kids, but Italy’s Prime Minister is childless. So is Mark Rutte, Prime Minister of Holland. Mark has some fun with Belgium: the current Prime Minister has two kids, but the previous one was a childless homosexual.

Why, Mark wonders rhetorically, would we expect these barren politicians to think hard thoughts about the world of twenty, fifty, eighty years from now? They have no personal stake in that world.    here….

Bingo!
