You Should Consider Where Your Money Goes and for What Purpose

 

 


Starbucks said Monday it will pay the travel expenses for U.S. employees to access abortion and gender-confirmation procedures if those services aren’t available within 100 miles of a worker’s home.

Why would any company need to broadcast a Pro Abortion stance?

FBI Probed Parents Under Counterterrorism ‘Threat Tag’ For Protesting School Boards

 


The FBI used “threat tags” created by the bureau’s counter-terrorism division to launch dozens of investigations into parents who had protested at school board meetings, whistleblowers disclosed.

The probes targeted parents who were reported on a new Justice Department “snitch line.”

The FBI investigations included a father opposed to mask mandates and a mother deemed a threat for “owning guns” and belonging to a group called “Moms for Liberty.”

The whistleblowers work for the FBI.

“You’ve got over two dozen cases that whistleblowers came to us about, that they had concerns on,” Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, the ranking Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, told The Washington Times. “If that isn’t designed to chill speech, I don’t know what does.”

Mr. Jordan wrote a letter Wednesday to Attorney General Merrick Garland accusing the FBI of opening “at least dozens” of investigations into parents and others using the counter-terrorism threat tag “in almost every region of the country and relating to all types of educational settings.”

Mr. Jordan also accused Mr. Garland of lying to Congress.

Special Needs Student Rewarded $3 Million Settlement In sexually abuse case.

 


SEATTLE – A former Seattle Public Schools student was rewarded a $3 million settlement from the district stemming from a 2020 lawsuit.

The former unidentified student claimed she was sexually abused by former teacher Meghan Miller in 2016. The victim was 15 and a sophomore at Ballard High School, where Miller coached soccer and was an assistant with special needs students.

The lawsuit claimed Miller sexually abused her on a weekly basis until the victim came forward in 2018. The victim claimed Seattle Public Schools failed to protect her, despite knowing she posed a danger to children.

Attorneys claim they uncovered evidence proving SPS knew Miller was a danger. Miller was initially hired with the district in 2007 at Roosevelt High School.

Miller spent two years there and a supervisor said she displayed “a pattern of predatory behavior.” This and repeated boundary violations with students led to her firing in 2009.

However, she still ended up being hired in 2010 at Ballard High School as an assistant soccer coach. Her duties were expanded in 2015 to helping with the special education classroom.

Recap : From 2007 to 2009 Miller showed a pattern of sexual predatory behavior and was eventually fired. In 2010 SPS rehired the known sexual predator.    

Who else needs to lose a job over this?

 

Property Tax Increase Shocks Already Struggling King County Home Owners


 The average property tax increase for King County home owners is $1000.Overall, countywide property tax collections for the 2022 tax year are $6.79 billion, an increase of $190 million --3% -- over last year's total of $6.6 billion.

Think about it, First they lock you down and ruin your private business then they cause massive hyper inflation and while you are barely making ends meet they steal more money from you in taxes.  

Over the past 2 years most government employees  continued to receive full pay, benefits and retirement contributions. During that time most of these "workers" worked from home doing who knows what. 1000 of citizens complained about lack of service and a recent audit revealed only 15% of "working from home" government employees answered the phone when a tax payer called.

It's really amazing how liberals will complain about shortages in the grocery stores (mostly about the lack of wine) but they are fine with taxing people out of their hard earned money and possibly their homes. 

Conservative Parents Sweep Texas School Board Elections on a Theme of Transparency

 

Conservative Parents Sweep Texas School Board Elections on a Theme of Transparency, No Masks, and No CRT in the Classroom

Saturday, school board elections were held for four suburban Fort Worth, Texas, school districts. Candidates backed by a conservative parents’ organization won all 10 seats they contested and unseated at least three incumbents. 

 Yesterday’s elections were just a continuation of the revolt over CRT  that started last year. Even though we all know it is only taught as an elective in law school and a total non-issue in school board elections, teaching children to observe racial stereotypes and judge classmates based on their skin color is deeply offensive to thinking people.

This election, like the one last year, teaches several lessons. First, if normal parents organize, they are a formidable force. Too often, we parents are too caught up in our lives to pay much attention to school board candidates. If you care about your kids and the country, pay attention.
