This teacher says if you ever wonder why people are leaving the teaching profession in droves, this is one of the main reasons. She has students that she has written an incident report on every single day. She has contacted the principal and the support staff and the help that was given to her was to email the parents of the students. Basically, no help or support at all. We have many epidemics in our country but this is one of the biggest that doesn’t get enough attention. We all know our school system is a failure but even more than we know. Students these days have zero consequences. They are passed with straight F’s. They are allowed to be a continuing distraction and disruption in the classrooms and nothing is done about it. We need to start over. 💯 Why do we allow this this as a school? As a district? As a city? As a state? As a country? It didn’t use to be like this? This is why other countries surpass us in education, there is no discipline in our schools. Would you want to be a teacher in this day and age at a public school?
This teacher was in her 28th year of teaching. One day she took a Monster drink away from a female student because they are not allowed to have those in class. That same female student later on accused the teacher of inappropriately touching her. The teacher was put on administrative leave because of that Title 6 complaint. The female student’s mother, who works in the central office, dropped the complaint. Fortunately, there are cameras in the classroom. The day of the supposed incident, the teacher wasn’t even working that day because of her mother’s recent death. The cameras found no evidence of inappropriateness. But here is the kicker. Besides removing that student from this teacher’s classroom, nothing happened to her. No suspension, no expulsion, no punishment, no consequences whatsoever. Nothing was done and that is what the problem is in this day and age. No consequences for children. That student should have received a suspension at the very least. I would even go so far to say she should have been expelled from that school. Even with the truth coming out, sometimes the damage is already done. What would you have done if you were this teacher? Can’t sue the child, sue the parents maybe? What are her options?

CEOs are quietly realizing the AI replacement plan has a problem. Two problems, actually. One: the token costs for running AI agents are now exceeding what they were paying the employees they fired. Two: when the tokens run out, the AI stops. Just stops. No continuity. No workaround. Just a spinning wheel where your workforce used to be. You fired humans to save money and bought a subscription that bills you into a corner. The employees you let go knew what to do when things broke. The AI just invoices you for the outage. And then there’s the permission problem nobody wants to talk about. To do its job, the AI agent needs access. Full access. Your systems, your patents, your contracts, your future plans. Everything you spent years building, handed over to a process that has no loyalty, no discretion, and no skin in the game. You didn’t hire a replacement. You gave a stranger with no soul the keys to everything you own. Enjoy.

ST. PAUL, MN — Republican Party of Minnesota Chairman Alex Plechash released the following statement in response to Senator Amy Klobuchar’s government reform and fraud proposal: “Amy Klobuchar’s plan is not innovation. It is an admission of failure. “For years, Minnesota Democrats controlled state government while fraud exploded, costs went up, agencies failed, permits got delayed, IT systems aged, small businesses got buried in red tape, and taxpayers were told to keep paying more for less. “Now Senator Klobuchar wants to show up with a glossy plan promising mobile apps, real-time tracking, better technology, fraud prevention, permitting reform, broadband, housing reform, business portals, audits, deadlines, and accountability. “The obvious question is: where has she been? “This plan reads like an indictment of Democrat governance in Minnesota. If state government is too slow, too outdated, too expensive, too vulnerable to fraud, too hostile to small businesses, too difficult to navigate, and too broken to serve taxpayers, then Amy Klobuchar should say who broke it. “The answer is simple: Tim Walz, Keith Ellison, Amy Klobuchar’s DFL allies, and the one-party Democrat machine that ran Minnesota into the ground. “For years, Republicans have called for stronger anti-fraud enforcement, front-end verification, agency accountability, repayment of stolen taxpayer dollars, tougher penalties, inspector general authority, permitting reform, lower costs, and a government that works for taxpayers instead of insiders. “Democrats resisted, delayed, watered down, or ignored those reforms. “Now that fraud and incompetence have become politically toxic, Senator Klobuchar is trying to repackage Republican ideas as her own campaign platform. That is not leadership. That is damage control. “Even worse, her plan pretends fraud happened because Minnesota lacked buzzwords. It did not. Fraud happened because Democrats built a culture of no accountability. Fraudsters got rich. Bureaucrats kept their jobs. Political leaders made excuses. Taxpayers got stuck with the bill. “Klobuchar says she wants to modernize government. Fine. But Minnesota does not need another listening tour, another innovation initiative, another portal, another network, another working group, or another campaign-tested slogan. “Minnesota needs people fired. “Minnesota needs stolen money recovered. “Minnesota needs fraudsters banned from taxpayer-funded programs. “Minnesota needs bureaucrats held accountable when they fail to protect public dollars. “Minnesota needs agencies that stop suspicious payments before the money disappears. “Minnesota needs permits approved on time. “Minnesota needs tab fees lowered. “Minnesota needs small businesses freed from Democrat red tape. “Minnesota needs parents empowered, girls’ sports protected, and taxpayers respected. “And Minnesota needs leaders who were willing to fight for those things before it became politically convenient. “Amy Klobuchar had a United States Senate seat, a national platform, and years to speak up while federal taxpayer dollars were being stolen through Minnesota programs. She said little to nothing when it mattered. Now that she wants a new political job, she suddenly has a fraud plan. “That is the story of Amy Klobuchar’s career: scripted outrage after the damage is done, carefully worded plans when the cameras are on, and no real accountability for the Democrats who caused the problem. “If Senator Klobuchar is serious, she should start with three simple admissions: “First, Tim Walz and Minnesota Democrats failed taxpayers. “Second, Republican anti-fraud reforms should have been passed years ago. “Third, no one who oversaw these failures should be promoted, protected, or recycled into the next Democrat administration. “Until she says that, this is not a reform plan. It is a political cover-up dressed up as innovation. “Minnesotans do not need Amy Klobuchar to track government failure on a phone. They need Republicans to end it.” ###

The year is 80 BC. You are a slave on a Roman estate. Your master eats reclining on cushions: suckling pig, lamb, oysters brought in from Baiae. You are fed puls. Puls is grain boiled in water until it forms a thick grey paste. You eat it in the morning. You eat it in the evening. You will eat it every day of your life until you die, probably around thirty, from something that a better diet would have prevented. The Romans call the lower orders pultiphagonists. Porridge-eaters. It is not a compliment. The year is 1150. You are an English peasant. The forest belongs to the Crown. Killing a deer is a capital offence. Killing a rabbit costs you a hand. Your diet is pottage, which is grain and vegetables boiled for days in a cauldron that is never fully emptied, and maslin bread, which is barley and rye compressed into a dense brown loaf that would break a modern oven. Meat arrives on feast days. When it does, the family watches the lord's steward weigh it. The year is 1750. You are an Irish tenant. The potato has arrived, and with it, the mathematical possibility of feeding your family on two acres instead of ten. You eat potatoes three times a day. Your landlord, in Dublin or London, eats beef three times a week. When the blight comes in 1845 you discover what happens to a population that has been narrowed down to a single crop. A million die. A million leave. The landlord continues to eat beef. The year is 1845. You are a slave on a Virginia plantation. Your weekly ration is a peck of cornmeal and three pounds of salt pork, most of which is fat. The meat ration exists because the owners have learned, across generations, that a slave fed purely on cornmeal cannot do the work. The meat is the minimum, not the standard. The master's house eats pork, ham, chicken, and venison from the woods your ancestors were forbidden to hunt in. The year is 1950. You are a peasant in Cilento, southern Italy. The war has ended. The economy has not recovered. You eat bread, pasta, whatever vegetables the plot produces, and olive oil because the trees grow on land that produces almost nothing else. Meat appears on Sundays, if it appears at all. You are not choosing this. You are eating it because it is what there is. The year is 1959. An American physiologist called Ancel Keys arrives in your village with a clipboard. He notes the absence of heart disease. He notes the presence of bread and pasta and olive oil. He does not, or does not emphasise, the fact that you would kill for a steak, that your grandfather remembers when there was meat on the table, that the entire dietary pattern he is about to name and export to the world is not a philosophy but a budget constraint. He calls it the Mediterranean diet. The year is 1975. Keys publishes his book. The Mediterranean diet becomes the healthiest diet on earth. The UN eventually makes it a cultural heritage. The population it was modelled on is, by this point, abandoning it as fast as it can afford to, because prosperity has arrived in Cilento and prosperity, given a choice, has always chosen meat. Now it is today. The diet that was forced on slaves, imposed on peasants, and endured by post-war Italians because they had no alternative, has been rebranded as the aspirational eating pattern of the affluent Western professional. The people selling it to you can afford to eat whatever they want. They have chosen to sell you the diet of the people who couldn't. That is not a coincidence. It has never been a coincidence. The diet of poverty has always been plants. The diet of freedom, wherever freedom has existed, has always been meat. The first thing a liberated people has ever done, across every century and every continent, is eat an animal. The last thing a ruling class has ever done, before a collapse, is tell everyone else not to. You are being told not to. Draw your own conclusions.

The documents Pfizer tried to hide for 75 years will make your blood boil. 270 pregnant women got vaccinated during Pfizer's study. 234 of those pregnancy records completely VANISHED! That's a COVER-UP! Of the 36 women they actually tracked, over 80% LOST THEIR BABIES and Pfizer knew it! Pfizer and their FDA pals wanted these documents sealed until 2096 because Big Pharma and their cronies at the FDA, CDC, and NIH KNEW the truth from DAY ONE. They knew pregnant women were at risk. They knew babies were dying. They pushed it anyway because there's too much money at stake. The same agencies that told us it was "safe and effective" were the same ones HIDING all the data proving otherwise. Crimes Against Humanity!

The government knows how much you earn. The bank knows what you spend. The IRS knows when you miss a payment. But somehow… When trillions of dollars move through Washington, nobody can show you the receipt.

Just a few years ago Democrats wanted vaccine passports to participate in daily life. Restaurants. Flights. Jobs. Now they say requiring ID to vote is too much. What changed?

When Obamacare was passed it’s approval among the public hovered around 30-40%. More than 80% of Americans support voter I.D. yet the SAVE Act remains in jeopardy. This is the literal definition of “taxation without representation.”
