GOP Fake Anger - Really?

-
Roanoke Times, 10-12-25 Pg A15
GOP’s fake anger over texts, M. Williams Times Dispatch
-
-
Half-page 5-columns of PravdaMedia heifer-dust explaining that the Democrat candidate for Virginia Attorney General was OK in declaring deadly violence against a Republican candidate for office and his children.
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2025/10/pathetic-virginia-democrats.html
-
It’s hard to comment on such a ludicrous diatribe or on the background or motivations of the author.
-
It’s also difficult to rationalize why the Times Dispatch or the Roanoke Times would publish this political tripe.
-
Clearly politics does result in strange bed-fellows!

Federal Education Dept Redundant

-
If there ever was a major redundant sector of federal bureaucracy, the Federal Education Dept is IT!
-
Every state has a Dept of Education responsible for the Management and Direction of the schools in that state including teacher education, certification and student graduation requirements.
Tax-payer education funds at the Federal Level, if any, should be allocated directly to the states based on needs and equity allocations!

The role of a small dept of ed at the federal level would be to Maintain Data Bases of:
State testing content and outcomes
State best educational practices
Best teacher education facilities, content, certification and outcomes.
-
-
Note the totally misdirected and misleading message in the following ABC (so called news) item – News Alert – these people do Not Teach Anything – they are Not in a class room – they are in a government office in DC. What a scam!

Special education staff decimated after Trump administration shutdown firings
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/special-education-staff-decimated-after-trump-administration-shutdown/story?id=126432474
The nation's special education services have been significantly impacted after Friday's mass layoffs within the Department of Education and it could have an immediate impact on children with disabilities, education department sources told ABC News.
"[If] there's no staff, who the heck is going to administer this program?
The agency enforces the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), the law creating a free and appropriate education for children with disabilities, and funds special education services to the tune of around $15 billion.

Va GovElect Youngkin Chooses ‘Education Achievement’ Secretary
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2021/12/va-govelect-youngkin-chooses-education.html
-
Youngkin’s First Government Choice – Education Secretary
An Education Secretary focused on academic achievement and excellence for all Virginia’s students.
A curriculum focused on student competence, skill and knowledge.
Parent-student choices for students drowning in failing school systems that defy improvement and accountability.
Secretary Guidera's first major challenge will be realigning the entrenched liberal bureaucracy that has failed many of our students, teachers, parents and taxpayers.

Gaza: Ravages Of War

-
Roanoke Times, 10-12-25, Pg 1
Palestinians return to ruins
https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-gaza-trump-ceasefire-884178522d04ecf96a951a89d1a90e53
“Gaza is completely destroyed. I have no idea where we should live or where to go,” said Mahmoud al-Shandoghli in Gaza City as bulldozers clawed through the wreckage of two years of war. A boy climbed debris to raise the Palestinian flag.
-
-
The ProPalestenian media is now focusing on the plight and ravages of war brought upon the Palestinian people in the Gaza by Hamas’ attack upon Israel.

Having been in the still-bombed-out Russian sector of Berlin in 1961, 16-years after WW2, I am sensitized to those images and reality.
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2014/11/25th-anniversary-demise-of-berlin-wall.html
-
Gaza is still under control of Armed Hamas Terrorists and release of 2000 convicted Hamas terrorists for 20-Israeli hostages is anticipated.

The plight of the Palestinian’s brings reflections of images of 1945 in Europe and Japan.
The issue now is will Hamas surrender and disarm as did the Germans and Japs in 1945, or is this just a brief respite in an ongoing never ending slog?
History in this area is Not encouraging.

Roanoke Times Voter Guides – Really?

-
The Roanoke Times editors (or what’s left of them) telling voters who they should vote for -- Talk about “Hutzpah!
-

How about local drug-dealers telling us where to get the best cocaine!
-
The Virginia Democrat Party has fielded a sad slate of losers who are either unable or unwilling to jettison candidates that are disqualified and unqualified to hold state-wide office in Virginia.
-
A very sad reality is that the Democrat Party with help from the PravdaMedia, including the Roanoke Times, have massively extended the voting period such that thousands of voters are now unable to react to the reality of how sad the Democrat slate is this year.

Hamas Israeli War Ending?

-
Good News: 
The “Trump End The Hostilities Proposal” has been accepted by both Hamas and Israel!
-
Not So Good News: 
Hamas has a long-term history of dragging-out proposals and then discarding them.
Hamas has Not committed to disband, disarm and surrender!
-
Kudo’s to:
Netanyahu for his war-time leadership.
Israeli Army for their achievements and sacrifices in urban warfare.
Israeli government and population in their support of the war effort.
Trump for his support and by getting ‘the hell out of the way’.
-
.......(Infantry 101:  Lead, Follow or Get the hell out of the way)

A Pox be on:
The US PravdaMedia for their ongoing support of Hamas and AntiIsraeli elements.

The UN for their ongoing AntiIsraeli activities.

Pathetic Virginia Democrats

-
Top Virginia Democrats stand-by and support their DA candidate, Jones, who by his own public pronouncements is disqualified to be Va’s top prosecutor!
The Dem’s have totally lost not only the ‘high ground’ but any ground at all and may justifiably lose other state-level positions as a result!

Too bad all those 'early voters for Jones" can't take back their votes!

Days after a bombshell National Review report exposed text messages in which Jones fantasized about shooting a Republican colleague in the head and harm coming to his children in 2022, Fox News Digital reached out to top Democrats who endorsed Jones and inquired whether their endorsements stand.
Dem. Sen. Cory Booker, who endorsed Jones in June, has not rescinded his endorsement of Jones and his office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine defended his fellow Democrat, former Del. Jay Jones of Norfolk, as the attorney general nominee’s campaign unravels after texts surfaced depicting Jones envisioning the murder of a top state Republican.
Pressed ahead of a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing Tuesday, Kaine said Jones’ comments were "indefensible" but that he is "still a supporter" of his candidacy against incumbent Republican Attorney General Jason Miyares.

The Hamas-Gaza-Butchers Are Winning

-
The Hamas-Terrorists are amazing! They brazenly butcher people and rape, torture and murder the ‘survivors’ and simultaneously garner major public support and sympathy for themselves and their cause.
-
Apparently Jews are being discounted and denigrated today much like they were in 1939!
Apparently having a massively successful homeland in the middle of a desert, surrounded by hostile-militant anti-Semites and having successful supportive-relatives around the world is cause for distain and bigotry as so vividly being demonstrated on US University campuses.

Democratic Party’s shift against Israel manifests in the ascent of Zohran Mamdani in New York
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/oct/6/democratic-partys-shift-israel-manifests-ascent-zohran-mamdani-new/
Zohran Mamdani’s insurgent campaign for New York City mayor is casting a spotlight on a rising faction within the Democratic Party and beyond that rejects unconditional support for the Israeli government and is more sympathetic to the plight of Palestinians.
Mr. Mamdani’s outspoken condemnation of the “genocide” in the Gaza Strip, along with his pledge to honor the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has sparked fierce backlash from pro-Israel advocates.

Gaza peace talks enter second day on two-year anniversary of the beginning of the war

Peace talks between Israel and Hamas were resuming at an Egyptian resort city on Tuesday, the two-year anniversary of the militant group’s surprise attack on Israel that triggered the bloody conflict that has seen tens of thousands of Palestinians killed in Gaza.
The second day of indirect negotiations in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh are focused on a plan proposed by U.S. President Trump last week that aims to bring about an end to the war in Gaza.

Bleak NYC Mayor Choice

WSJ: Gifted, Talented and Zohran Mamdani
His call to slow down accelerated learning is an opening for Andrew Cuomo.
https://www.wsj.com/opinion/zohran-mamdani-gifted-and-talented-new-york-city-8d85d77d?gaa_at=eafs&gaa_n=ASWzDAhlGOcEH53rG0IGzr-vXSIwCdK4640EflG_fwChmoSCr3gZlTtaLRU05wZcI24%3D&gaa_ts=68e42be9&gaa_sig=oVEMt-_2sHyttPV0xDYxyoGwMunHVwTC4zuRCpMmqNTKFLFEtaoq9qZPGgKY78hcXFhRInV5CjhVcvvuE9Dl4A%3D%3D
-
Zohran Mamdani said late last week he wants to end the gifted and talented program for kindergartners in New York’s public schools. News reports say he’d allow this accelerated instruction only beginning in grade 3, with a campaign spokesman arguing 5-year-olds shouldn’t be “subjected” to a policy that “unfairly separates them right at the beginning of their public school education.”
-
Socialism in a nutshell: A persistent fear that somebody, somewhere, might be getting ahead and ought to be yanked back. Is this the political opening Andrew Cuomo has been waiting for? “That program is the one program that allows extraordinary students to actually excel,” Mr. Cuomo said in response. “You take away gifted and talented,” he added, “the one possibility that your child might get a really first-class education in public schools goes with it.”

AI The DayBefore

-
Every day we are flooded with “news” about AIs future massive impacts on our lives, society and finances. Everyone’s life and job will be significantly changed. Our personal judgements, opinions and work-product marginalized and rejected as trivia and ignored.
Some entities are presenting AI as the all-powerful Fortune Teller foretelling the future based on massive data of the past and present and cause/effect relationships far too complex for today’s analysis or our comprehension.
As we try to comprehend what AI will yield going forward, we might reflect on what AIs proclamations would have been “the day before” significant events occurred that profoundly changed history and fortunes.
If AI were Not able to predict those key events, how could society depend on AIs proclamations and projections to protect our lives and fortunes?
What would AIs proclamations have been “the day before” these events?

Democrat Government ShutDown

-
The Democrat approval level is 30% -- what can we do to reduce it even more?
The House voted to keep the Government open and working.
Democrats Schumer & Jeffries --- Dumb & Dumber ---- let’s have the Senate shut-down the Government!
The shutdown commenced hours after the Senate rejected a short-term spending measure that would have kept government operations afloat through November 21.
https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-government-begins-shut-down-most-operations-after-congress-fails-advance-2025-10-01/
Trump, whose campaign to radically reshape the federal government is already on track to push out some 300,000 workers by December, warned congressional Democrats that a shutdown could clear the path for "irreversible" actions including cutting more jobs and programs.

Oregon sues Trump administration over plans to deploy troops

The National Guard will be deployed to Portland, Oregon, for the next two months, following an order by US President Donald Trump.
At least 200 National Guard members will be deployed to the city to "protect federal property" where protests are "occurring or likely to occur", according to a memo sent by US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Sunday.
Trump on Saturday said he had authorized the use of "full force" if needed to suppress protests targeting immigration detention centers.

This year, Democrats are calling everyone who disagrees with them a Nazi or a fascist while facilitating evil.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz charges that President Trump is “a fascist to his core.” Former Vice President Kamala Harris agrees. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the silver-tongued Rep. Jasmine Crockett, who calls Mr. Trump a “Temu Hitler,”
President Biden warned that “MAGA Republicans” are “a threat to democracy,” during a 2022 Independence Hall extravaganza eerily reminiscent of the 1930s Nuremberg rallies, with its lurid lighting.

D.Sen. Fetterman, at odds with fellow Democrats,
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/sep/28/sen-john-fetterman-odds-fellow-democrats-says-wont-switch-parties/
The Pennsylvania Democrat’s outspoken support for Israel and his calls to avoid a government shutdown have made him unpopular with some party activists.
Mr. Fetterman’s unwavering support for Israel following the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack — which killed an estimated 1,200 people — has further fueled criticism from the left.
Mr. Fetterman said earlier this year. “I think we should blame Iran and Hamas.”
On Sunday, Mr. Fetterman praised President Trump for his support of Israel

Biden’s Auto-PenManShip

-
In my one-room school, 100- miles from Times Square, we were required to fill-in a small booklet devoted to pen-man-ship (skills of cursive writing).
Apparently, Biden White House used a hi-tech machine to do what we had to perform with an ‘inkwell pen’. It was required back then that we each did our own work.
Talk about progress and automation and perfection.

How Biden’s autopen pardons went unchallenged as hundreds of hardened criminals hit the streets

Federal prisons swung open their doors this summer and let out a parade of nearly 2,000 criminals pardoned by President Biden, despite President Trump calling the autopen pardons “worthless” and mounting evidence that Mr. Biden was barely in the decision-making loop.

On-Going Climate ‘Change’

-
World, business leaders hope to keep momentum in fight against climate change despite US
https://roanoke.com/news/nation-world/science/article_f34e9d9e-bf96-50f8-82b1-267a2d1675a4.html
The U.S. government is going in the other direction. Temperatures keep rising. More extreme weather is sweeping across the world. Yet hundreds of leaders from government and business are in New York this week to keep the fight against climate change alive. Amid fracture and despair, they are emphasizing progress and hope.
-
-
The climate keeps changing and the debate and activities relative to those cause-effect changes are ongoing ie: there is No consensus.
The two views continue to diverge and harden.
1. Climate-change has very limited man-made cause-effect – Trump et al
2. Climate-change is being driven by man-made CO2 – Gore et al
Trump is making massive changes to the Gore inspired energy transformations.
-
A major historical record of temperature-CO2 (nonman-made) cycles are being ignored. They portend a natural cyclic beyond man’s influence.
Perhaps mankind should be focusing on how to adapt and adjust to climate-change instead of trying to modify it?
-

Google Censors Republicans & RoanokeSlant Too

-
Google admits to censorship pushed by Biden administration and invites back banned users
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/sep/23/google-admits-censorship-pushed-biden-administration-invites-back/
Those who saw their YouTube videos and other content banned during COVID-19 and the 2020 election were invited back to the platform Tuesday in an astonishing mea culpa from the company that blamed their censorship on Biden administration pressure tactics.
Alphabet Inc., the company that operates Google and YouTube, wrote in a letter Tuesday to Congress that they were forced into removing content by Mr. Biden and his senior aides.
-

(may have to copy-paste address into browser -- more censorship)
"Not only is the U.N. not solving the problems it should, it, too often, is actually creating new problems for us to solve," the president said. "The best example is the number one political issue of our time: the crisis of uncontrolled migration. It is uncontrolled. Your countries are being ruined."
-
"Now, as if to encourage continued conflict, some of this body is seeking to unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state," Trump continued. "The rewards would be too great for Hamas terrorists for their atrocities. This would be a reward for these horrible atrocities, including Oct. 7, even while they refuse to release the hostages or accept the ceasefire."

For the U.N., climate change is an existential threat requiring global action. Trump mocked the entire concept as "the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world," deriding green energy as "all bankrupt" and declaring the carbon footprint "a hoax." Dismissing decades of climate change work at the U.N., he said: "No more global warming, no more global cooling, whatever the hell happens, it’s climate change."

https://www.wsj.com/opinion/palestinian-statehood-u-k-france-australia-hamas-israel-6df739a9?mod=hp_opin_pos_1
That much is clear again this week, as France, the U.K., Australia, Canada and some others recognize a Palestinian state as punishment for Israel. They hardly even pretend that Palestine meets the criteria for statehood. They don’t frame recognition as the assessment of Palestinian sovereignty it should be.
Instead they use recognition as a political statement against the Israeli war effort. The stakes are sanctions on Israel in the future and a victory for Hamas today.

Trump & Autism & Tylenol

-
Trump links autism to Tylenol, sparking backlash from maker and medical groups
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/sep/22/trump-links-autism-tylenol-sparking-backlash-maker-medical-groups/
President Trump on Monday linked autism to the use of the painkiller acetaminophen during pregnancy, stirring debate and confusion about a key ingredient in Tylenol that had been considered safe for expectant mothers to use against dangerous fevers.
Mr. Trump said pregnant women should not take Tylenol unless they have an extreme fever or they cannot “tough it out” when they are in pain.
“So taking Tylenol is — not good. I’ll say it, it’s not good,” Mr. Trump said at the White House.
-
-
-
Trump: Smacking a Tylenol hornet’s nest with a stick!
-
Trump makes case that the Autism pandemic impacting our children has major causal effect from pregnant women taking Tylenol!
Of course the drug cartel and PravdaMedia ignore the pandemic statistics and the cause-effect data and attack the messenger.
-
Autism affects an estimated 1 in 31 children and 1 in 45 adults in the U.S.
Mr. Trump said rates of autism were about 1 in 10,000 only a couple of decades ago.
What have the drug companies, CDC, Dr Fauci, media and health entities done over the past dozen years to isolate and define the cause-effect of this autism pandemic? Why haven’t we heard about their efforts and results to date?
-
Kenvue Brands, the maker of Tylenol, rejected the new medical advice from the administration.
The coming lawsuits will become the major driver of focus on the cause-effect and resulting liability. IF the major cause-effect is demonstrated to be Tylenol, it is probable that Kenvue-Tylenol will become bankrupt.

Tangier Island Sinking Faster Than Flooding

-
NPR: This small Virginia island could be underwater before the next century
https://www.npr.org/2025/09/22/nx-s1-5420738/tangier-island-climate-change-threat
Since 1850, the island has lost two-thirds of its landmass to erosion and sea level rise. On average, the island sits just three feet above sea level. Meanwhile, water levels in the Bay are rising by at least a quarter of an inch each year.
(0.25 X 175 yrs = 43.75 inches)—Really?
Climate change is worsening the erosion of the island, contributing to both higher sea levels and more damaging storms.

Obama The Vindictive Denier

-
It’s difficult to reflect on Obama commenting now on his legacy vs. the Charlie Kirk situation and the current political and media environment.
Reality: Obama’s radical left-wing views and actions domestically and internationally have left deep scars on our country and culture.
Few in our country view his tenure as an uplifting example of Americanism and his withdrawal to the Vineyard is reminiscent of Elba.

Obama’s laughable ‘no extremism’ claim
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/sep/21/obamas-laughable-no-extremism-claim/
-
With all due respect, sir, your claim that you and your administration did not embrace or empower extreme views is nonsense. Frankly, millions of Americans find such a statement to be either one of the most stunning examples of psychological projection that we’ve ever seen or simply a shameless, bald-faced lie.
-
You are the one who chose to focus on the color of our skin rather than the content of our character. It was you who pushed your neo-Marxist agenda of “equity” rather than equality, of diversity rather than unity, of intersectionality rather than personal responsibility. It was you, Mr. Obama, who chose to foment racial animus and resentment rather than personal forgiveness and reconciliation. It was you who pitted Blacks against Whites and Whites against Blacks.
-
You are the one who stoked the flames of class conflict. You are the one who rallied gays against straights, the working class against the educated, traditionalists against progressives and rural voters against those more urbane.

AOC Smears Kirk's Beliefs as 'Uneducated, Ignorant'
https://www.newsmax.com/us/aoc-charlie-kirk-resolution/2025/09/19/id/1227128/
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., criticized the late Charlie Kirk during a House floor speech Friday, distorting his record and calling his "rhetoric and beliefs ... uneducated and ignorant."
Ocasio-Cortez's tirade came after the House passed a bipartisan resolution honoring Kirk, the conservative leader who was assassinated during an event at Utah Valley University last week in Orem, Utah. The measure passed 310-58, with AOC making it clear she was one of the 58 nays.

https://apnews.com/article/jimmy-kimmel-show-suspended-charlie-kirk-a2bfa904429c318fe52e7d3493c6883d
ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show indefinitely beginning Wednesday after comments that he made about Charlie Kirk’s killing led a group of ABC-affiliated stations to say it would not air the show and provoked some ominous comments from a top federal regulator.
ABC, which has aired Kimmel’s late-night show since 2003, moved swiftly after Nexstar Communications Group said it would pull the show starting Wednesday. Kimmel’s comments about Kirk’s death “are offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse,” said Andrew Alford, president of Nexstar’s broadcasting division. Nexstar operates 23 ABC affiliates.

As a youngster growing-up in the Catskills in the 1950s I was witness to the major influx of NYC folks seeking cooler weather for the summers. Included in that migration were many self-avowed communists, many in our area worked for the "Daily Worker" publication and unabashedly handed out copies at every opportunity. The Party lost much of its support during the Cold War and the Korean War. 
Apparently, the NY communist party has reconstituted itself and is on course to take over NY’s City Hall this year.

It is difficult to watch the Democrat Party, the party of JFK, embracing a Communist Fellow Traveler for Mayor of the largest city in US!

By 1938, the party counted 38,000 members in New York State, about half its national membership, and most of those lived in New York City. Communists were increasingly native-born (although many were the children of immigrants). Party-organized mass meetings in the old Madison Square Garden were packed with as many as 20,000 participants; the annual May Day parades drew tens of thousands, too.
A Communist candidate for the presidency of the city’s board of aldermen received nearly 100,000 votes in 1938;

Charlie Kirk And Roanoke Times

-
The hills are alive with the sounds of Charlie Kirk, except for the Roanoke Times.
-

True to their PravdaMedia mantra, one looks through 18 pages of mostly Sunday advertisements to finally find on page A16 a Dallas Morning View Reprint: “Violence solves nothing. It only sows pain and chaos that threatens to metastasize”.
-
Talk about a pathetic coverage of one of the most significant events of the year, being heavily covered by even the most left-wing national outlets and entities.
-
This dastardly murder by a left-wing homosexual lunatic has highlighted and triggered American emotions reflective of JFK’s murder, especially among young people who related to Charlies’ intellect, perspectives and Christianity.
-
The inability of the Roanoke Times staff and management to put aside their all-consuming left-wing ideology is witness to their slide into irrelevance and readership and financial collapse.

Light After The Dark: Charlie Kirk

-
Let us celebrate and reflect upon:
No street riots!
No buildings being burned down!
No one pulled from their car and beaten!
No barriers with cars being burned and destroyed!
Just prayer and sorrow and disbelief and dedication going forward!
Big disappointment for the LeftWing Radicals and PravdaMedia!

A Politician Rises to the Charlie Kirk Occasion
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox offers a lesson in moral and political leadership.
https://www.wsj.com/opinion/spencer-cox-utah-charlie-kirk-tyler-robinson-18c12c25?gaa_at=eafs&gaa_n=ASWzDAj9GPkfjoy6K6ceDKbLELnU2odMBvSesENTBZD9Le8uXFJKYJxWMeGwF08LrvE%3D&gaa_ts=68c5e7ec&gaa_sig=uSNQ0cDOCvfYWuBs2sKI8HL5Lw0KUpL_1AWcQVclGmuuyrv7pF2CW7DvNOgIzG6_FLKVyOmmUTQzpALlYB_tPw%3D%3D
Yet perhaps the most important part of the press conference was Mr. Cox’s reflection on the country’s condition after “an attack on the American experiment.” To “my young friends out there, you are inheriting a country where politics feels like rage,” he said. “It feels like rage is the only option.”
But “your generation has an opportunity to build a culture that is very different from what we are suffering through right now, not by pretending differences don’t matter, but by embracing our differences and having those hard conversations.”

I have two close friends who each lost a son in the towers.
One son was a fireman.
The other son was in the towers for a job interview.
These fathers will explain to those who now are
peddling Muslim sensitivity that
These 3,000 Americans weren't lost – they were MURDERED!
It wasn’t a disaster – it was an ENEMY ATTACK!
From the time of the Saracen’s to today’s
Radical Muslim Terrorists, things haven’t changed very much except
now we have Congresspersons hawking their cause.
