Teacher Union Chiefs In-Charge-Of Public Schools

When did we vote into power and control, of our public schools, the Teacher’s Union Chiefs? I must have been absent or playing hooky that day!

Top Teacher's Union President (the half-million-dollar girl): We'll 'Try' to Open Schools in the Fall
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2021/07/30/top-teachers-union-well-try-to-open-schools-in-the-fall-n2593307
-
“"We're going to keep kids safe. We're going to keep our members safe, and we're going to try to open up schools and we're going to try to move through this political battlefield," she continued.
This comes after union teachers demanded they jump the line for vaccinations earlier this year. They were accommodated and still refused to go back to work.”
-
-
To add insult to injury: BlackFace Northam and his Bloomberg-Democrats have just converted Virginia into a Union Shop State.
Elections have consequences – some of them BAD.

Biden Pay Incentives For Positive Outcomes

-
Biden calls on states to offer $100 vaccine incentives
https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/565492-biden-calls-on-states-to-offer-100-vaccine-incentives
-
-
Perhaps this might work: Blood donations averages around $50 per donation.
You can donate safely roughly once a month, according to the American Red Cross, and a typical session takes less than two hours.
(That’s $25 per hour – better than minimum wage.)
-
-
While Biden is offering incentives for Good Virus Outcomes -- how about paying the Welfare-Generator Sperm-Boys to have a vasectomy!
Paying $10,000 per vasectomy is a very good deal for taxpayers.

The going forward reduction in Welfare payments and the support of Millions of ‘out-of-wedlock children’ will save taxpayers Billions of dollars and the massive reduction in the federal and state welfare bureaucracies.
-
For all the millions of men that voluntarily have had vasectomy’s – perhaps we could offer a one-time tax deduction to keep things somewhat fair.
-
-
Unfortunately this procedure will not resolve the other devastating problem in the inner-city society:

The Democrats HangOn Their ‘Linus Virus Blanket’

CDC calls for vaccinated people in areas with high COVID risk to mask up. In Virginia, that's most localities
https://roanoke.com/news/state-and-regional/cdc-calls-for-vaccinated-people-in-areas-with-high-covid-risk-to-mask-up-in/article_68279d65-1497-5b85-9aec-af50a4d448cf.html#tracking-source=article-related-bottom
Right before Virginia’s infections began to trend upward in mid-July, the CDC said those who are vaccinated could forgo masks in K-12 schools, even as children under 12 remain ineligible for a vaccine.
-
-
To add ‘insult-to-injury’ to the ongoing sea-saw of mandates and guidance, Diminished-Biden added more fog and confusion at his latest briefing saying even vaccinated people need to mask-up (a sequel to Pelosi’s mandate to Congresspeople).

'Staggering' Detroit poll exposes 'wide gap' between media and 'everyone else' on policing

"By an overwhelming 9-1, they would feel safer with more cops on the street, not fewer," a new USA TODAY/Suffolk University/Detroit Free Press Poll found after surveying Detroit residents …………….
those surveyed reject by 3-1 the slogan of some progressives to ‘defund the police.’"
"These are staggering new poll numbers from @USATODAY on the views of Detroit residents on issues of crime and policing, and constitute yet more evidence of how wide the gap is between the discourse of media elites on these questions and everyone else,"

‘1984’ Illegal Aliens Become Migrants

They Aren’t ‘Migrants,’ They Are Illegal Aliens
https://townhall.com/columnists/derekhunter/2021/07/29/they-arent-migrants-they-are-illegal-aliens-n2593253
“It’s the disappearing act of the year – the story of the illegal alien invasion at the southern border. More than a million people will march into the country with a sense of entitlement, encouraged and embraced by the Biden administration and every Democrat, and it’s like it isn’t happening. But it is happening, and the system is collapsing because of it, which can only be thought of as by design.
When you want to destroy something you don’t offer to “fix” it; why would you fix something you’ve denounced as “fundamentally racist?””

The Olympics Viewership Takes A Knee

-
The Obama inspired disdain of America and its spread into sports during the past few years is very disturbing and disappointing to those who love and have faithfully served our country and our society and culture.
If ‘our’ athletes find it impossible to support our country (or at the least remain respectful) – then stay the hell home and volunteer at your local soup-kitchen.
-
In the meantime a little “Schadenfreude (German): enjoyment obtained from the troubles of others” seems appropriate relative to those who have tripped on our flag and can’t get up and the PravdaMedia who are massively loosing viewership and money along with their woke advertisers.

Peacock Network’s costly event shed 49% of viewers from 2016 Rio Games
https://www.foxnews.com/media/nbc-olympics-coverage-spurs-advertiser-anxiety
NBC’s primetime coverage of the Tokyo Olympics continued to spiral downward on Monday, averaging 14.7 million viewers for a 49% drop compared to the equivalent night from the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games.
Monday’s telecast also shed 53% of viewers from coverage of the first weeknight primetime during the 2012 London Olympics and declines were even larger among the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults aged 18-49.

Cubans Want Freedom And Prosperity - Someone Tell Obama

-
Cuba has been the bastion of Communism in the Western Hemisphere since the rise of Fidel and Che in the mid-1950’s.
Having solidified Communism in Cuba – Castro extended his reach into numerous other countries, the latest being propping-up Maduro and his totalitarian regime to the detriment of the Venezuelan people.

“Among the people protesting in the streets of Cuba this month are family, friends and fellows of Cuban immigrants who now call Roanoke home. For Arlette Gibelli, who arrived in the United States as a political refugee in 1999, these uprisings follow more than 60 years of empty promises from a tyrannical government, she said.”

Salt Lake Back To 1963 Level Déjà Vu Again

Water levels in the southern portion of Utah's Great Salt Lake dropped to the lowest levels ever recorded. ...

As businesses add staff, employers must compete for labor
He suggested that enhanced federal unemployment benefits — an extra $300 a week, set to expire in September — are to blame for his labor challenges.

Youngkin Farm Acknowledged

Roanoke Times, 7-22-2021, Pg Va B3: Youngkins received 95% property tax cut
https://roanoke.com/news/virginia/wire/conservation-status-cut-youngkins-farm-tax-bill-by-95/article_86b2061c-636d-52a8-acab-e72eb824b49c.html
“GREAT FALLS, Va. (AP) — Republican Virginia gubernatorial nominee Glenn Youngkin and his wife cut the real estate tax bill on their horse farm when they successfully petitioned Fairfax County to designate the more than 30-acre property around their Great Falls home as agricultural property, the Richmond Times-Dispatch reported.
the assessment dropped to $376,900
The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the Youngkins’ request for the designation for property owners who meet certain criteria and agree not to develop their land for eight years. The farm is one of 43 such districts in the county.”
-
-
Is this the best antiRepublican stuff the proDemocrat proMcAuliffe PravdaMedia can dig up? Really?
-
Virginia has been a proFarm proOpenSpace state with tax breaks for those who manage their acreage in conformance with the state real estate codes.
Kudo’s to the Youngkin’s for participating in this state initiative and open-space program (apparently this program not only for Democrats).

Western Drought Back To The Dust Bowl

-
Drought in the Western United States Sets a 122-Year Record
https://www.discovermagazine.com/environment/drought-in-the-western-united-states-sets-a-122-year-record
By one measure, almost 100 percent of the West is now in drought. And that sets an all-time 122-year record, according to David Simeral, a climatologist at the Desert Research Institute and the Western Regional Climate Center.
That measure, called the Palmer Drought Index, takes into account both moisture and temperature to provide a good view of long-term drought, as well as the impact of global warming.
-
-
The media is alive with the message of man-made AGW global warming ‘Drought in the West not seen in 122-yeas’.
Begs the question: What caused the old drought records well before increased CO2?
Those including the Dust Bowl of the 1930’ as so well depicted in “The Grapes of Wrath”
https://www.history.com/topics/great-depression/dust-bowl
-
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grapes_of_Wrath

Perhaps it would be appropriate to reflect on long term drought studies that chronicle the history of recurring long-term droughts that clearly were Not caused by man-made CO2, contrary to the Gore-Greta storylines.

North American Droughts of the last Millennium

“It is the duration of these dry spells, not their severity, that stands out in a comparison against the droughts of modern times. The mid-nineteenth century (or Civil War) drought, the Dust Bowl, the 1950s drought and the most recent one (beginning in 1998) all reach the severity of the medieval droughts but had none of the persistence.”

Wanted: List Of Citizens Denied Vote

Roanoke Times, 7-18-2021, Pg C6: Dems push for voting rights
https://roanoke.com/ap/national/dems-push-for-voting-rights-on-lewis-anniversary/article_e8e22b3d-1f75-593a-b25f-ec684cb8957a.html#tncms-source=login
-
-
Note to all disenfranchised valid-voters in Roanoke Area.
Please send the Roanoke Times, for publication, the contact information for any legal resident that has been denied their vote.
-
Be assured that the local political units of both parties will step forward to resolve the issues including assistance in obtaining Voter ID and Voter Registration for that resident.
-
Every valid voter deserves to vote and the local political parties have an obligation to assist.
-
Let’s stop the political muck-raking and gather the names of the disenfranchised and then resolve any issues – that’s what Real American’s do!
-
Voting should be easy.
Voting should be fraud-free.

Va D AG Herring Show Shooting Footage

Roanoke Times, 7-17-2021, Pg Va1: Herring: Families should access shooting footage

-
-
All police shooting videos should be posted on the internet as many are on YouTube:
YouTube: Search Words: Police Shootings
-
Included should be police officers being shot as well as police shooting others.
-
Clearly the videos will show the danger and risk our police officers face everyday and the brutal and callous felons that they encounter.
-
When was the last time AG Herring faced an armed felon and had to make an instantaneous life-death decision?
Big difference compared to being a ' safe monday-morning referee'!

Degraded Biden At CNN Town Hall

-
This appearance on a national broadcast is very difficult to watch.
-
This is our POTUS!
-
This is the person that the DNC and PravdaMedia and Massive Money sold to the American People as the best choice to be POTUS!
-
This is the POTUS that has the Nuclear Football!
-
Who is protecting and overseeing this Presidency?

Out the door and to the airport go The Texas Democrats
What a pathetic contrast with the Texans at the Alamo.

The Air That I Breathe

-
The smoke from Oregon and Washington fires, 3,000-miles away, are clouding our skies and limiting our views of the Blue Ridge in Virginia.  There is a 'jet stream' and it works.
Smoke from wildfires out west makes it to southwest, central Virginia

For some senior citizens this is reminiscent of the "Fog of the Cold War 1945 – 1970"  when it was Radiation in the air from over 500 in-air world-wide nuclear weapons testing that drifted across the oceans and continent.
I remember dairy farmers in Pennsylvania were dumping milk close to my home in the Catskills.
The Price of Freedom wasn’t free – we really don’t know, and will never know, the total cost.

Charlottesville’s Historic Legacy

-
Now that Charlottesville has torn down the statue of Lewis and Clark, perhaps it’s too late for the Town Council to purchase the original Meriwether Lewis Army Commission signed 1802 by Thomas Jefferson one year prior to the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_and_Clark_Expedition
What a great piece of American and Virginia History to display in the city hall.
-
Hopefully St Lewis will continue to honor Jefferson and Lewis and Clark and not tear down their Arch celebrating the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
"The Gateway Arch reflects St. Louis' role in the Westward Expansion of the United States during the nineteenth century. The park is a memorial to Thomas Jefferson's role in opening the West,"

Public Forests: Let Them Rot And Burn

Roanoke Times, 7-18-2021, Pg C8: US to end old-growth timer sales in Alaska forest

“Old-growth forests are critical to addressing climate change, so restoring roadless protections to the Tongass is critical," said Andy Moderow of the Alaska Wilderness League, calling the forest an “unmatched treasure.”
