Tracker Posted January 28, 2023 Report Posted January 28, 2023 Trump calls for wild education overhaul by 'certifying' patriotic teachers and allowing parents to elect school principals Former President Donald Trump has launched a new attack on education with his proposed plan of action to revise how public school administrators and faculty members are put in place. In a new presidential campaign ad, Trump expressed a need for more "patriotic teachers" as he called for the termination of school faculty members he described as “radicals.” According to Trump, there should also be a “direct election” process for school principals. Under that election system, students’ parents would have the right to appoint principals. Trump is also pushing for the defunding of schools that follow a curriculum that includes “critical race theory, gender ideology or other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content.” "Our public schools have been taken over by the radical left maniacs," Trump said in the clip, as he went on to share his proposed plan. "Here is my plan to save American education restore power to American parents," he began. "First, we will cut federal funding for any school or program pushing critical race theory, gender ideology, or other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political critical content onto our children. We're not going to allow it to happen. Next, I will direct the Department of Justice and Education to open civil rights investigations into any school district that has engaged in race-based discrimination." He continued, "That includes discrimination against Asian Americans. The Marxism being preached in our schools is also totally hostile to Judeo-Christian teachings, and in many ways it's resembling an established new religion. Can't let that happen. For this reason, my administration will aggressively pursue potential violations of the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause of the Constitution. That's very simple." Although Trump has expressed concern about discrimination, he has actually made repeated discriminatory remarks, namely anti-Asian slurs that have been leveled at Sen. Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) wife, Elaine Chao, who also served as former U.S. secretary of transportation under his administration.

Tracker Posted January 29, 2023 Report Posted January 29, 2023 How Reagan Convinced Himself He Didn’t Sell Arms for Hostages Shocking news about secret arms-for-hostage deals rocked Washington in late 1986. The first hint came with a White House announcement on November 2, that David Jacobsen, an American held hostage in Lebanon by Iranian-directed Islamic forces, had been released. As Secretary of State George Shultz read a draft White House statement about the development, he noted that it referred to freed “hostages,” with the “s” crossed out. That told him that the White House had expected Jacobsen would not be alone. Shultz suspected that the news meant that clandestine White House efforts to free captive Americans in the Middle East by sending arms via Israel to Iran might be responsible. He had first heard about the possibility in mid-1985. Within a few weeks, the dimensions of the story expanded exponentially with word that some Iranian payments for American arms had been secretly diverted to the rebel Contra forces in Nicaragua that Washington hoped would topple the leftist Sandinista regime. The funding was in clear violation of a congressional cutoff of aid to the Contras. Overnight, the affair, quickly dubbed the Iran-Contra scandal, engulfed the White House. Shultz realized that President Ronald Reagan faced an explosive crisis similar to Watergate that might upend his presidency. The fiasco staggered Shultz. It exposed his own failure to stop the arms-for-hostage dealing at several critical moments when he heard about pieces of it, objected to it but stopped short of forcefully intervening. He had deliberately kept his distance, telling the White House officials who managed the arms shipments to Iran that he did not want to know the details. The scandal also forced Shultz to face up to Reagan’s weaknesses as president, for the affair, at its core, was a colossal blunder. As Shultz confronted the issue, he struggled mightily to remain loyal to Reagan while simultaneously protecting his own reputation and legacy. In doing so, he barely escaped indictment for obstruction of justice.

One person can put a stop to all this but he just wont do it. I understand the confusion and frustration of all those who cannot understand Garland's glacial pursuit of Trump and his co-conspirators. However, from where I stand (metaphorically) , I perceive that America is teetering on the edge of yet another civil war, and Trump has to be convicted on the basis of as close to irrefutable evidence as humanly possible. Trump's thralls will never accept any evidence, no matter how blatantly culpable he is shown to be, but there are some probably semi-open to accepting it. That is the audience the process theatre is playing to. According to what I learned in sociology, there is a certain percentage that , when reached by violent dissidents, becomes the threshold of civil war. There are LOT of potentially violent, armed extremists in the US with differing perceived grievances but with equally similar willingness to resort to violence to gain their ends. Trump is their poster boy and the icon behind which the "Christian" right, anti-vaxxers, racists, fascists and conspiratory-believers could potentially unite. They would be at each other's throats in no time, but would do a lot of damage while together and probably plunge the US into marital law and authoritarian rule.
Tracker Posted January 29, 2023 Report Posted January 29, 2023 Inside The Online Community Where Home-Schoolers Learn How To Turn Their Kids Into ‘Wonderful Nazis’ On Nov. 5, 2021, a married couple calling themselves “Mr. and Mrs. Saxon” appeared on the neo-Nazi podcast “Achtung Amerikaner” to plug a new project: a social media channel dedicated to helping American parents home-school their children. “We are so deeply invested into making sure that that child becomes a wonderful Nazi,” Mrs. Saxon told the podcast’s host. “And by home-schooling, we’re going to get that done.” The Saxons said they launched the “Dissident Homeschool” channel on Telegram after years of searching for and developing “Nazi-approved material” for their own home-schooled children — material they were eager to share. The Dissident Homeschool channel — which now has nearly 2,500 subscribers — is replete with this material, including ready-made lesson plans authored by the Saxons on various subjects, like Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee (a “grand role model for young, white men”) and Martin Luther King Jr. (“the antithesis of our civilization and our people”). There are copywork assignments available for parents to print out, so that their children can learn cursive by writing out quotes from Adolf Hitler. There are recommended reading lists with bits of advice like “do not give them Jewish media content,” and there are tips for ensuring that home-schooling parents are in “full compliance with the law” so that “the state” doesn’t interfere. The Saxons also frequently update their followers on their progress home-schooling their own children. In one since-deleted post to Telegram, they posted an audio message of their kids shouting “Sieg Heil” — the German phrase for “hail victory” that was used by the Nazis. Over the past year, the Dissident Homeschool channel has become a community for like-minded fascists who see home schooling as integral to whites wresting control of America. The Saxons created this community while hiding behind a fake last name, but HuffPost has reviewed evidence indicating they are Logan and Katja Lawrence of Upper Sandusky, Ohio. Logan, until earlier this week, worked for his family’s insurance company while Katja taught the kids at home. The Anonymous Comrades Collective, a group of anti-fascist researchers, first uncovered evidence suggesting the Lawrences are behind Dissident Homeschool. HuffPost has verified the collective’s research. The Lawrences did not respond to repeated requests for comment made via phone calls, text messages and emails. A HuffPost reporter also left a message in the Dissident Homeschool channel asking Mr. and Mrs. Saxon for comment about the Anonymous Comrades Collective’s research. That message was immediately deleted by the channel’s administrators, who then disabled the channel’s comment and chat functions. A short time later, Katja Lawrence deleted her Facebook page. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/home-school-nazis-telegram-dissident-saxon_n_63d596c4e4b01a43638e6a0a Wideleft 1
Tracker Posted January 30, 2023 Report Posted January 30, 2023 Former Aide Says Trump Won’t Pick Marjorie Taylor Greene For VP Because Of Her Looks Former Pence aide Olivia Troye said that Donald Trump is so shallow that he won’t pick Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to be his VP because he will think she doesn’t look attractive enough. Troye said on MSNBC, “Honestly, Donald Trump is a shallow human being. And I don’t think she’s gonna meet the looks match for him. I hate to say that to disparage another female, but we know how shallow this man is.” Trump thinks that putting a woman on the ticket will get him back to the White House in 2024, so he is considering a female running mate. South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem has been campaigning for the slot on a potential Trump 2024 ticket for years. Given Trump’s shallowness, she brings all of the devotion to Trump that Greene has in a package that the terrible human being of a former president might think will look better on TV. Wideleft 1

Tracker Posted January 30, 2023 Report Posted January 30, 2023 "I would expect federal indictments": George Santos' top donors don't appear to actually exist More than a dozen donors who contributed significant amounts of money to George Santos' 2020 congressional campaign do not appear to exist, an investigation by Mother Jones found. Santos' campaign reported that Victoria and Jonathan Regor had each contributed $2,800 to his first bid for a House seat, but after searching through various databases, Mother Jones found that no one in the United States with such names exist. The apparent donors listed their address as 45 New Mexico Street in Jackson Township, New Jersey, but even that was questionable since the numbers on New Mexico Street in Jackson end in the 20s. Another donor by the name of Stephen Berger, who was included in Santos' 2020 campaign finance reports, contributed $2,500 – the maximum amount. He was listed as a retiree living on Brandt Road in Brawley, California, but a spokesperson for William Brandt told Mother Jones that Brandt has lived at that address for at least 20 years and "neither he or his wife have made any donations to George Santos. He does not know Stephen Berger nor has Stephen Berger ever lived at…Brandt Road." The contributions are among more than a dozen major donations to the 2020 Santos campaign for which the name or the address of the donor cannot be confirmed. Separately, the documents identify that a $2,800 campaign donation was attributed to a friend of Santos, but the person denied making the donation to Mother Jones. These contributions account for more than $30,000 of the $338,000 the Santos campaign raised from individual donors in 2020, according to Mother Jones. Under federal campaign finance law, it is illegal to donate money using a false name or the name of someone else. The newly-elected GOP lawmaker, who has faced repeated calls to resign from Congress for fabricating his resume and lying about his background, received more criticism after the Mother Jones report was released. "Somehow, George Santos's campaign finance scandal just got a lot worse," the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington said on Twitter, questioning whether Santos' donors "even exist."

blue_gold_84 Posted January 31, 2023 Report Posted January 31, 2023 https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/ny-grand-jury-trump-1.6731596 Quote A grand jury is hearing evidence in New York over former U.S. president Donald Trump's role in hush-money payments to adult film performer Stormy Daniels during his 2016 presidential campaign, two sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters. A grand jury could lay the groundwork for possible criminal charges against Trump by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office. This would be a stunning development — no former president has been indicted for criminal conduct. Even the sitting of the grand jury represents a dramatic turn in a case that appeared settled with Trump's former personal attorney serving a prison sentence and the Federal Election Commission (FEC) opting not to pursue any penalty. Former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker has testified before the grand jury, one source told Reuters. Pecker was seen entering the lower Manhattan building where the grand jury is empanelled, according to the New York Times, which first reported on the grand jury on Monday. The moves are an indication that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is closer to a decision on whether to charge Trump. bustamente 1

Bloomberg News reports that US District Judge Paul Gardephe has ruled that Trump must disclose the amount of money he's paying to former staffer Jessica Denson, who had filed a legal challenge to Trump's mandate that all campaign staffers sign NDAs as a precondition to working for him. "Under the settlement, the campaign agreed it would not enforce the nondisclosure and nondisparagement agreements going forward, and there was a financial component as well," according to Bloomberg's report. "Denson was set to receive an incentive fee for pursuing the case for years, and the campaign also would pay her lawyers’ fees. Those amounts were redacted in documents filed in court a few weeks ago." Attorneys representing Trump argued earlier this month that disclosing the terms of the settlement “would have a deleterious effect on, among other things, the Campaign’s future ability to negotiate similar agreements." However, Gardephe rejected this reasoning and said that the only piece of information in the deal that should not become public was Denson's bank account number. https://www.alternet.org/trump-judge/ bustamente and blue_gold_84 1 1
