[TOWNHALL] As we head toward this weekend's 245th anniversary of American independence, Critical Race Theory has emerged as the dominant subject gripping and dividing the nation. The threshold question, itself the subject of rancorous and oftentimes disingenuous debate, is what the term "critical race theory" even refers to. When this semantic debate surfaces, proponents usually attempt two things at once.
First, they accuse their CRT-skeptical interlocutors of being bigots, white supremacists or apologists who want to deliberately muddle and whitewash America's complex -- and at times tragic -- history of race relations. This first step involves CRT proponents grilling CRT critics as to why they are so "scared" to "discuss racism" or "discuss slavery," as if that applied to anyone other than a truly infinitesimal and politically powerless fringe subset.
Second, while publicly seizing the moral high ground, CRT proponents simultaneously work behind the scenes to advance what it is that they actually believe. Consider this forthright (and harrowing) admission from "Critical Race Theory

Close all the government schools and give each childcare provider a voucher. Let the parents decide if they want their kids educated or indoctrinated. Or if they care at all. If they don't, why should I?
#3
if the Republican wins the Gov race in VA this November it will because of the CRT issue
CRT is toxic even in many of the leftist strongholds like the suburbs of Washington DC
probably it will be important in NJ but not as much as other issues
about a dozen large cities (e.g., NYC, Cleveland, Detroit, Atlanta, Miami, Pittsburgh) have elections for mayor in Nov but crime will likely be the dominant issue

#1 Abolish teacher colleges and departments of education. Make aspiring teachers to get BA in the subject they plan to teach and then 3 - 6 months course to get a teaching license.

Make aspiring teachers to get BA in the subject they plan to teach No BAs in teaching elementary schoolkids, last I heard.

^BA is what you Americans call an undergraduate degree. In my experience, people with a BA in something-education know about 1/10 of what a BA in something from a regular university knows.
[Epoch Times] A federal judge issued a permanent injunction on Thursday to block the ambiguous tax mandate in President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package. I imagine the blue states thought it was a good idea, right Nancy?
U.S. District Judge Douglas R. Cole from the District Court for the Southern District of Ohio ruled that the tax mandate in the America Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)—which seems to tie the relief fund to the states’ authority to reduce tax—exceeds the Congress’s authority under the Spending Clause due to its ambiguity.
A stipulation in the $1.9 trillion sweeping relief package has caused considerable disputes between red states and the Biden administration.
"A State or territory shall not use the funds provided under this section … to either directly or indirectly offset a reduction in the net tax revenue of such State or territory resulting from a change in law, regulation, or administrative interpretation during the covered period that reduces any tax (by providing for a reduction in a rate, a rebate, a deduction, a credit, or otherwise) or delays the imposition of any tax or tax increase," the bill reads. I suppose some states have a balanced budget and wouldn't know how to properly spend the windfall from Washington. Paid with their own taxes, no less.
Several red states argued that this paragraph may deprive their authorities to reduce tax after receiving the relief. But the blue states would never even think of reducing taxes with an influx of revenue.

[NYPOST] Hunter Biden ......son of President Joe: cashiered from the Navy, a crackhead, wheeler dealer, leg humper, horn dog, and general all around ne'er do well. We're supposed to feel sorry for him..... used the perks of the vice presidency — parties, meetings with Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect hacked up by the World's Greatest Deliberative Body.... and flights on Air Force Two — to pursue business deals with Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim while his father was in office, records show.Hunter’s involvement with Slim, at one time the world’s richest man, commenced soon after a White House state dinner the magnate attended in May 2010, along with Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, to honor Mexican President Felipe Calderon.
The diary on Hunter’s abandoned laptop shows he and Slim were both guests at a State Department luncheon during Calderon’s visit, which was hosted by his father and then-Secretary of State Crooked Hillary Clinton ...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away. Politix is not one of her talents, but it's something she keeps trying to do... . Spanish tenor Placido Domingo also reportedly attended.
The charmed path that always opens for Hunter when his father meets a foreign leader or oligarch led him to Mexico on a VIP trip the following year. Hunter’s diary in May 2011 shows a "tentative tour hosted by Carlos Slim" of the tycoon’s private "Soumaya Museum," in Mexico City, which Slim founded and named after his late wife, Soumaya Domit. Containing priceless sculptures from pre-Spanish Mesoamerica, it is the most visited museum in the country. There could be no greater honor offered to Hunter than a private tour with the billionaire founder.
Hunter also had breakfast with Slim’s friend, Mexican billionaire Carlos Bremer, at his magnificent villa in the shadow of the Sierra Madre Oriental mountain range in Monterrey. Bremer, former director of the country’s stock exchange, had donated millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation and sat on the foundation’s board.

[JPOST] ...As if the title of its cover story — "A First Lady for All of Us: On the Road with Dr. Jill Biden" — wasn’t sufficiently sycophantic, its accompanying content reads like a parody of a totalitarian regime’s propaganda sheet.
Those observing the current Orwellian climate in the United States no longer gasp at each new move by "progressives" to control society’s collective mind, but some take occasional breaks from tearing their hair out to laugh at the more egregious examples. Vogue’s Jonathan Van Meter, who penned the lengthy tribute, is an apt target for ridicule in this regard.
Not that he was trying to be funny. On the contrary, he was clearly proud of praising Jill Biden, in all seriousness, for the "several degrees" that earned her the "title [of doctor] that she has every right to."

Written by an obvious homosexual. Also thinks having a stringy, leather faced, pink haired rug muncher model for Victoria's Secret is a great idea.

Off the Pride Month pile...
A drag show needs plenty of drama.
Does Biden deliver? Oh, mama!
The girls at her service
Look suitably nervous.
"The brogans are Joe's..."
"And those Dr. Jill's clothes!"
"But that booty look just like..."
"OBAMA!"
[CNN] The White House dove into damage control this week after reports of dysfunction and infighting in Vice President Kámala Harris Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, then a senatrix from California, and then a former 2020 Dem presidential hopeful. She dropped out because she was polling in negative numbers because of racism. Her father is a Marxist professor emeritus at Stanford and her mother is an Indian of the Hindoo tribe. She is reputedly the proud descendant of a long line of women. Joe Biden picked her for her skin tone, feeling she could also bring in the Native American, women's and bimbo votes. She's displaying her level of competence in her handling of the Biden Border Surge ' office, with the administration trying to stop a drama-filled narrative from taking hold, according to five people who spoke to CNN ...the organization formerly known as the Cable News Network. Now who knows what it might stand for... about the dynamics within Harris' office.

She has a challenging job, a hard job, and she has a great supportive team of people around her.
And they've been doing what, exactly? Planning a trip to Europe?

Read as : She's just not cut out for this job but has some very desperate people propping her up.

Face it: the Vice President has exactly two constitutionally mandated jobs:
1. Break ties in the Senate
2. Check if the President is still alive, and if so, and the VP is not needed for job #1, go back to sleep.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
