[PostMillennial] Richmond, Virginia’s Barack Obama Elementary School has been closed down indefinitely, as officials tackle the building’s mold and rodent problems. The school was originally scheduled to open on August 24 to welcome students for their first day.
In a message to families on Monday, Richmond Public Schools Superintendent Jason Kamras said that teachers and staff setting up for the year had discovered "additional areas of mold growth (for example, behind bulletin board paper)." The district sent everyone home for additional testing and cleaning, per WTVR

Hopefully they'll screw him on the payment so the kids will be led off into a mountain and never seen again. Or send them away to an island in a shipping container like happened in the Epstein files.

The school was first built in the 1920 (and named for J.E.B. Stuart)
It was renovated a few times and new additions were added over the years. The part shown in the article is one of the additions. Not sure about when it was added.
It was renamed and rededicated in 2018.

would be nice if we had a metaphor alert category
I thought we already had a "Department of Redundancy Department" flag?

How long before we hear about that new Obama library in Chicago being infested with rats and mold? Oh, right. That was the day the building was dedicated.

And look at Hildebeast in that dumpy overcoat over a dumpy, baggy pantsuit when all the other women are wearing nice dresses. She must be hiding something really awful.

[RedState] GTFO and go directly to jail!
Something very serious appears to be going on inside the United States Secret Service, with three officials or agents reportedly having been escorted out of their offices on Monday as part of a criminal investigation into the leaking of classified information to the media.
Journalist Susan Crabtree of RealClearPolitics broke the news Tuesday evening on X, saying that the three unidentified officials were classified as "do not admits" as part of the ongoing criminal investigation into who leaked classified information to the media, possibly about Air Force One.
Crabtree had two sources corroborate the information, and she added that the CIA and FBI are involved.
🚨🚨@RCPolitics EXCLUSIVE and BREAKING: Three Secret Service officials/agents were walked out of their offices on Monday and made "do not admits" as part of a criminal investigation into leaked classified information to the media, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
It's unclear if the leaks to the media pertained to the controversy over President Trump's secret evacuation from Turkey because of intelligence about a surface-to-air missile threat to Air Force One from Iran.
The FBI and the CIA are involved in the investigation, one source told RCP.
Calls to Secret Service Communications Director Anthony Guglielmi were not immediately returned.
An email to the Secret Service press office also was not immediately returned.
DEVELOPING...
Crabtree couldn't confirm if the criminal investigation is related to leaks about Air Force One, but there could be a "there" there.
As RedState has previously reported, President Trump was forced to covertly use a different plane when departing the NATO summit in Turkey last month due to a credible threat from Iran. News of the subterfuge was leaked to the press recently, resulting in histrionics from some in the media over the thought of the White House press pool being on the "decoy" plane.
The president was unapologetic about the operation, saying, "I go by Secret Service and the military. They wanted me to go on a different flight, different plane."
Curiously, Biden's Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall recently had his top secret clearance stripped by the Pentagon for "unauthorized disclosure of classified information regarding Air Force One’s capabilities to a media outlet."
RedState's own Buzz Patterson, a retired Air Force officer who once was a military aide to President Clinton, voiced his concern over all the leaks in a recent interview with Fox News Digital.
"I hope that they prosecute this to the fullest," Patterson said. "Whoever leaked that, in my opinion, and having been involved in this, was highly placed in that process."
"There’s only a few people who actually know exactly what’s going down, and that’s by design," he added. "So if somebody leaked it, it was somebody involved in the process, and that scares the hell out of me."

I don't care which president it is, if you are in the Secret Service, you do NOT leak that shit to the media!

That's hilarious. They put the media on the decoy plane! For the first time in their lives, they knew what it's like to be in real danger.
Didn't find about about it until it was over so no PTSD.

[Twitchy] Conservative commentator Victor Davis Hanson has some pointed opinions on Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries. He compares the Democrat twosome to mad scientists who have lost control of their creation. The DSA monster is destroying the Democrats from the inside. VDH also has some thoughts on James Talarico's Texas Senate candidacy.
"They were the Dr. Frankensteins, and they created this socialist Frankensteinian MONSTER — and now it's devouring them because they're WEAK!"
"When you look at Hakeem Jeffries, he's like a deer in the headlights. His eyes start rolling ... it's just gibberish."
"They're old fuddy-duddy, ossified, calcified HACKS!"
"They've been a BIG gift to Trump — because they're so incompetent and off-putting and repulsive." ames Talarico's Texas Senate candidacy.
Talarico raised about $72M
Paxton raised about $17M
Funds on hand at 30 June
Talarico about $23M
Paxton about $10M
Some polls also have Talarico ahead.

Paxton has some baggage, and it's being well amplified by the media. He's good on the issues but that may not matter. I suspect his best chance to win is to campaign as 'not Talerico.' (I may make a yard sign that is a Talerico sign with a red barred circle across it.)

The important thing is how much of that money is in state vs out. Just like Beto, all the out of state money doesn't help when you have been revealed as basically a vegan weirdo, which doesn't play well with anyone but they antifa crowd.
…Abdulrahman Mohammed El-Sayed — the overly groomed, medically trained non-doctor who went to school on a Soros scholarship is seriously connected — Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR/Islamic Society of North America, Nation of Islam, Al Qaeda, Cenk Uyghur’s nephew Hasan Piker — he’s connected to them all. The DSA brand is just a flag of convenience. Then there’s his equally groomed maternal half-sister, Eman Abdelhadi, the queer activist U of Chicago professor …
got truly bizarre Monday night in trying to dodge a question about his support for trans-ing children, a fresh sign of how all Democrats should be repudiating him: Why are they so afraid?
El-Sayed and his advisers thought they’d come up with a great way to answer questions about surgically removing children’s private parts: Explain that it’s just like circumcision.
Seriously: Fox News host Jesse Watters brought up outlawing sex-change surgery for kids, and El-Sayed replied, "Are you circumcised?"
He then airily advised, "You probably should want to move on," proceeding to declare that anyone refusing to see that both are simply "surgery on a kid’s ding-a-ling" is just being "really selective about these things."
Nobody not totally blinded by ideology would equate circumcision, a procedure recommended by most medical professionals because of its health benefits, with removal of male sexual organs — a procedure utterly lacking any medical justification. (The supposed scientific support for treating juvenile gender dysphoria with transitions was purely an insider con game.)
[JTN] Lawyers for President Donald Trump are threatening to file a $5 billion defamation lawsuit against a liberal think tank if it doesn't retract a report claiming that the White House's deployment of National Guard troops has failed to lower crime rates in D.C. The group is refusing to comply.
The Center for American Progress published a report in July that found the troop deployments failed to reduce urban crime in the way Trump had claimed, the New York Times reported.
Trump's lawyer, Alejandro Brito, sent a cease and desist letter to the center on Monday, warning that Trump would file the suit if the group didn't fully retract the report. Briot claims the report was full of malicious and false statements, and he gave the center until 5 p.m. on Friday to retract the report and issue an apology to Trump.
Neera Tanden, CAP president and CEO, said in a statement that the lawsuit is an "attack on facts" and its "evidence is baseless."
Leftist Judge Indira Talwani spits in the face of the Supreme Court and just ruled that Trump’s U.S. Postal Service has hereby VIOLATED her block on the mail-in ballot security rules

The lust for power overrides the thought, if she doesn't have to pay attention to SCOTUS' ruling why should any of us have to pay attention to her rulings?
#5
So how much actual power the SCOTUS have over lower-tier Federal Courts? Not sure they have any real hammer to use. Doesn't the Constitution put that in Congress's hands?
#6
Everything below the Supreme Court exists at Congresses pleasure. The only Constitutional court is the Supreme Court, all others were created by congress and can be deleted by congress.
#7
Fatal Flaw appears to revealed by this direct disobedience. Options are pretty limited given a bifurcated Congress any sympathetic other Jurists:
"AI Overview
A federal judge who openly or systematically defies a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court can face administrative penalties through the federal judiciary, or ultimate removal from office by Congress.Because Article III of the U.S. Constitution grants federal judges life tenure during "good behavior," punishing or removing them involves specific, limited channels.Appellate Reversal and Mandamuses.
Overturning the decision: The primary and immediate remedy for a lower court decision that contradicts Supreme Court precedent is reversal by a higher appellate court or the Supreme Court itself.Writ of Mandamus: A superior court can issue a writ of mandamus—an order commanding a lower court judge to properly apply binding law or dismiss improper actions.
Judicial Conduct and Disability Proceedings Under the Judicial Conduct and Disability Act (28 U.S.C. §§ 351–364), complaints against a lower federal judge can be filed and reviewed by the circuit's judicial council.Sanctions: A judicial council can issue private or public censures or reprimands.Case Reassignment: The council can temporarily suspend the judge from receiving new case assignments or disqualify them from specific cases.Limits: The statute explicitly protects judicial independence regarding standard legal decisions; a mere disagreement over a ruling is typically handled through appeals rather than misconduct complaints. However, willful, bad-faith defiance of a superior court's explicit mandate crosses into conduct prejudicial to the administration of the courts.Congressional Impeachment and RemovalImpeachment by the House: If a judge's defiance is viewed as a corrupt abuse of power or a breach of the "good behavior" clause, the House of Representatives can vote to pass articles of impeachment.Conviction by the Senate: Following impeachment, the Senate holds a trial. A two-thirds supermajority vote is required to convict the judge and remove them from office permanently. This method is historically rare and reserved for extreme malfeasance."
[PJMedia] What kind of crazy, f***ed up world is this where AIPAC is banned, spurned, and forbidden from participating in politics — yet CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood have a free hand to play kingmaker in U.S. elections?
AIPAC is “funded exclusively by Americans,” and 100% of its 6.5 million members are American citizens. Its stated purpose is to “strengthen the U.S.-Israel partnership” by creating a “mutually beneficial relationship with our ally.”
CAIR’s financial status is murkier: In at least one filing, 76% of its annual donations came from two foreign sources, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Its mission is to “enhance the understanding of Islam” and “empower American Muslims.”
(The UAE later revoked its support, declaring CAIR a terrorist group, largely due to its ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.)
And speaking of the Muslim Brotherhood, multiple Muslim-majority nations — including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Syria, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan — have officially designated the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group, banning it and jailing its leaders. (As did, interestingly enough, Russia.)
But the Muslim Brotherhood still operates freely in the United States. There is no federal ban; only a few of its foreign branches have been declared terrorist organizations by the U.S. government. And today, CAIR has 35 chapters and offices in 27 states — and counting.
Their influence is rapidly rising.
Yet AIPAC is now forbidden from supporting Mike Rogers, the Republican candidate for Michigan’s U.S. Senate seat. Not because Rogers disagrees with AIPAC’s goals, but because the organization has been so thoroughly demonized that he fears its support would do more harm than good.
But oddly enough, supporters of CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood are, apparently, actively participating in U.S. politics:
Sen. Ted Cruz: Does Abdul El-Sayed’s candidacy for Senator in Michigan concern you?
Kyle Shideler: Yes sir. It does.
Sen. Cruz: Why is that?
Shideler: Well, to begin with, I look at the connection that his father-in-law, Jukaku Tayeb, has to [Muslim] Brotherhood-linked groups. This includes being the president at one time of CAIR Michigan. Also his presence on the Islamic Society of North America [ISNA] founders committee, which is only for those most exclusively devoted to ISNA and provide significant amount of funding. There are other known Brotherhood members on that committee. I would also look at El-Sayed’s ties to a group called Emgage, which purports to be a Muslim, sort of “get out the vote” or candidate recruitment organization, but it has close ties to CAIR. It was created by a former CAIR member who at one time was on a terror watch list and was also a consultant to convicted terrorist, Sami Al-Arian.
Plus, as the reporter observed, it all seems to be part and parcel of a financial pipeline:
TV Journalist: And according to a report, El-Sayed has already collected more than $115,000 from donors who worked for or held leadership roles with the Council on American Islamic Relations, better known as CAIR, and that does include the organization’s executive director, who faced massive backlash for his comments, saying he was “happy” to see the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack on Israel.
It wouldn’t be the first time CAIR crosspollinated with Islamic terrorist groups: Ghassan Elashi, the founding board member of CAIR-Texas, was sentenced to 65 years for funding Hamas. Randall Todd “Ismail” Royer, CAIR’s former communications specialist, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for helping Al-Qaeda. Bassem Khafagi, CAIR’s former community affairs director, was deported after being convicted of terrorism-related fraud. And CAIR itself was named as an “unindicted co-conspirator” in “one of the largest successful prosecutions of terrorism financing in United States history, where internal documents plainly identified CAIR as a subsidiary of the Muslim Brotherhood and a federal court eventually found ‘ample evidence to establish’ that CAIR was associated ‘with Hamas.’”
It’s a murky, incestuous relationship, with super PACs and super-wealthy benefactors circumventing U.S. financial restrictions.
From Fox News:
A Fox News Digital review found that El-Sayed, who has made getting "money out of politics" a central campaign rallying cry, has accepted donations from at least 41 individuals who either work for CAIR, formerly worked for CAIR, or have served in leadership positions with the organization.
The donor list includes several of CAIR's highest-ranking officials, including national Board Chair Manal Fakhoury, national Board Treasurer Eyas Abdeen, national Vice Chair Emad Sabbah, and CAIR-Michigan board member Jukaku Tayeb, El-Sayed's father-in-law.
Tayeb has been one of the largest financial backers of the super PAC supporting El-Sayed's campaign and is also part of the founding committee of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), a group linked to Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood funding, Washington Free Beacon first reported. [emphasis added]
This means El-Sayed now has a financial pipeline that’s completely independent of the Democratic Party bosses.

AIPAC regularly gets politicians who are against Israel thrown out of Congress like Rep. Massie.
Marco Rubio publicly stated if you speak out against Israel that makes you ineligible for a visa to USA.
