I just got a phone call from my kid's school. They have cancelled his classes for this Friday, May 1st so that school staff can go protest. I'm so pissed. Every parent I know is scrambling for childcare right now, trying to take off work, they have NO IDEA what they are going to do. How does this happen?! How can they just cancel school for my kid so they can play activist when they should be teaching him TO READ AND DO MATH?! This may be our last straw... Homeschooling feels inevitable at this point. I'm so sick of this... I've been holding my toungue but I will do so no longer. If you want to fix the public schools, you are going to have to do the hard things that NOTHING in this protest will do: 1) DEPORT ALL THE ILLEGAL ALIENS and funding per AMERICAN student will increase DRASTICALLY How do I know? Because when ICE came to Charlotte NC, guess how many kids didn't show up to school? 30,000 kids. Yes, nearly 20% of ALL KIDS didn't show up to school because of ICE, so what does that tell you about how many illegal aliens we have going to our public schools in this country? 2) DRASTICALLY DEFUND THE ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF. There are HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE in school administration in North Carolina right now making $200,000-$315,0000. Guess what? None of them are teachers. Guess which positions in schools have grown in the past 10 years? Number of students: 2.5% increase Number of teachers: 2.2% increase Number of administrators: 45% increase Number of consultants: 107% increase You want to pay teachers more? Great, then you now know EXACTLY where to look. Because the "middle-management" for North Carolina schools grew 20x FASTER than the student population, so there's a good place to start. Sorry for the rant... I've been patient. I've been engaged. I've gone to the meetings. I've read the emails. I've donated, a LOT. I'm really close to just being done. If the public school system thinks canceling class so the adults can go to a rally is acceptable, then the public school system has told me exactly what it values. And it isn't my kid.

My letter to Ilhan Omar. She REFUSED to testify before the Fraud Prevention Committee. She DUCKED reporter questions. She AUTHORED the bill that created conditions for MN’s fraud. Taxpayers deserve answers!

AUSTIN MAN caught on dating chatroom by his fiancée chases her around the kitchen and beats her up while her son tries to stop him. When the deputy arrives, he fights him too. It's his fourth arrest for beating up women in just 2.5 years. Michael Deese, 61, is a convicted felon sentenced to 35 years in prison back in 2009 for stealing over $1 million from two Houston employers. He was paroled eventually and landed in Travis County. Nov 2023: Assaults woman and interferes with her 911 call. Emergency protective order denied. Both charges dismissed by Judge Dimple Malhotra because he completed counseling while in custody. June 2024: Strangles woman and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon (second-degree felony) and resisting arrest. The agg assault gets downgraded to a misdemeanor. Resisting arrest was dismissed. Probation plea deal on the strangulation. Jan 2025: Backhands his fiancée in the face hard enough to leave visible swelling and bruising. Flees before police arrive. Last month: Fiancée catches him on a dating chatroom. He chases her around the kitchen, pulls her hair, shoves her. Her son steps between them. When the deputy tries to handcuff him, Deese fights him. Four family violence cases, a strangulation that could’ve been deadly, an agg assault with a deadly weapon reduced to a misdemeanor. Two dismissals. Probation. Zero jury trials in Travis County.

The right is using the SCLP indictment to re-write history. Now white supremacy is manufactured. Another hoax to them. From Charlottesville to El Paso to Buffalo and beyond the violence is real and the victims are real. Calling it a ‘hoax’ doesn’t make it disappear. It just exposes the denial.

The mother of a teen who brutally attacked a girl on video is now calling HER SON the "victim" She is quoted by the New York Post as saying her son is a "humble Christian," a "quiet boy," and that the girl he sent to the hospital was "being a bully to him, that’s it" She said her son “doesn’t provoke nobody,” and that the attack caught on video was "retaliation because she pushed him first" The lack of accountability is STAGGERING

Just as I predicted yesterday…. MSM will falsely claim the Secretary of the Navy was fired because of Battleships. And the NYTimes is actually worse than I thought. Let me explain…. The mainstream media will make this about the ships because the defense “experts” never want more hulls. They want money flowing into consulting fees, AI “solutions,” and think tank white papers. Steel produces nothing for the Beltway class. A flight deck you can launch F-35s off of does not generate PowerPoints. But the NYTimes is running an even more sinister play. Throughout the Biden administration, and later during DOGE’s audit work, I translated every major spending bill into a unit every American can actually visualize: one nuclear aircraft carrier. Nuclear supercarrier cost: $15 billion. Biden’s BEAD rural broadband program, which connected zero homes to the internet: $42.5 billion, or roughly three carriers. Pete Buttigieg’s infrastructure package: $1.1 trillion, or seventy three carriers. Total DOGE savings to date: $215 billion, or fourteen carriers. Known Somali-linked fraud in Minnesota, per federal prosecutors: $18 billion, or one carrier plus an Arleigh Burke destroyer. Why do I keep doing this? Because for the past two decades the NYTimes has run the same story on loop: the military is the reason for America’s skyrocketing national debt. That is a psyop. It conditions Americans to believe that steel and sailors, not social programs and grift, are what is bankrupting the country. Human beings are not wired to understand $15 billion. The mind goes blank at that scale. But every American, left or right, understands the sheer weight and menace of a nuclear aircraft carrier. It is the most visible, most photogenic instrument of state power on earth. So the NYTimes runs the obvious play. Paint the carrier as expensive. Pile on delays and cost overruns. Quote an anonymous Pentagon source worrying about bloat. Then anchor the defense budget to “discretionary spending,” a small slice of the real pie, and express it as a percentage of that smaller number. The Pentagon instantly looks like the whale in the room. But Medicare alone, roughly $1 trillion in 2025, already eclipses the entire defense budget. Add Medicaid and ACA subsidies and federal health spending hits $1.8 trillion, more than double defense. None of those programs are labeled “discretionary,” so by NYTimes accounting, they “don’t count.” This is a magic act. The NYTimes holds a shiny capital ship up in one hand to keep your eyes off the social programs bankrupting the country in the other. Once you see the trick, you cannot unsee it. Every time the NYTimes runs a carrier or battleship exposé, ask one question: what is on the page they did not write? Nine times out of ten, the answer is sitting just outside the “discretionary” column, quietly metastasizing, while a Ford class carrier gets blamed for the deficit. America is not going broke building warships. Warships are one time expenses that last decades and are a tiny fraction of the total annual budget. America is going broke pretending the ledgers that matter do not exist, while a national newspaper gets paid to keep the audience looking the other way. That’s why they hate battleships. That’s why they tell you they are ridiculous and antiquated warships that are a waste of money. To make you think THIS is the reason why the nation is $39T in debt. And the best part? Their psyop works on both sides of the aisle… on liberals who hate the military and conservatives who hate federal spending. Battleships are not a waste of money. All the many fraudulent programs that cost more annually than a single carrier are.

Denver had 96 murders in 2021. Last year it had 37. The lowest since 1990 and the largest homicide drop of any major American city, far outpacing the national decline. Auto theft, burglaries, and gang-related violence also declined significantly. Here's what they did: 1. The police chief studied successful efforts in Boston and Dallas and mapped the specific blocks driving most of the violence, concentrating resources there with more officers, better lighting and cameras. 2. They’re now catching 8 out of 10 killers. Better evidence collection and stronger community trust generated more tips. And when criminals know they'll get caught and prosecuted, some of them stop shooting. 3. Colorado made every car theft a felony regardless of the car's value, closing a loophole that let so many repeat offenders walk. Auto thefts dropped 36%. But last month, the city council ripped out all 110 license plate reader cameras over fears the data could reach federal immigration authorities. This year, the numbers are already moving the wrong direction outside of police-targeted hotspots. A man walking his dog in Curtis Park was randomly shot and killed by a man on probation. Two people were killed at a north Denver park on Easter Sunday. The police strategy works where it's deployed. The question is whether Denver will keep building on what's working, or let politics take it apart.
