Where are we headed, as a country? Two of this week’s nooze stories suggest the ship is headed for the rocks.
I’m sure that when we created the Dept. of Homeland Security (looking more and more like one of the all-time bad ideas), we never thought it would wind up slithering its tentacles into our neighborhood schools. Oh, but they are!
As if it weren’t more than bad enough to have the FBI “investigating” parents who complain about their local school board’s Far Left sex-grooming policies, now the DHS is getting involved. Simply put, they are training teachers and students to spy on one another and rat each other out for “disinformation” and “violent extremism.” They are setting up a “K-12 surveillance program” (“K!” As in kindergarten? Really?) with a 12-week training course. Kids will spy on teachers, and each other, and teachers will spy on kids… and each other. Presumably DHS will do the rest. (“Ve haff vays of making you talk, comrade!”)
Of course we have no idea what the kooks in the Biden administration define as “disinformation” or “extremism.” These are apt to be exceeding broad definitions. Climate Change Denial! Election Results Denial! Gender Fluidity Denial! Anything that bucks The Narrative. Somewhere out there must be a first-grader who can’t name all the genders. Get him!
(Sorry for all the capital letters. I had to find some way to stress the sheer hypocrisy of the entire public education enterprise. Especially now that it’s so solidly welded to the Democrat Party.)
And what are many of the rest of us keeping busy with, as Rome burns? Another news item suggests: not much.
A Washington, D.C., man is suing Powerball for leading him to believe, all too briefly, that he had won $450 million in the lottery… When in fact he hadn’t.
They made a “mistake,” you see, when they posted the winning numbers on line one night in 2023—and kept them up there for six hours—while the real winning numbers, totally different, were announced on the live broadcast. So for a little while, this poor guy was deliriously happy, convinced he had just acquired fabulous wealth without having had to do a lick of work for it—not that you’d ever get $450 million just by working for it. All he had to do was buy a lottery ticket: didn’t have to earn it.
Whoops. Sorry about that, dude. You had the wrong numbers.
So he’s suing them. Honk if you think he has any better chance of winning the lawsuit than he had of winning the Powerball.
We all really do have to work harder if we don’t want our country going belly-up. All we have to do to save it is overcome the Democrat Party, the deep state, teachers’ unions, Hollywood, The Global Elite, a zillion illegal aliens, a running-dog nooze media that never tells the truth, and the kind of mind-set that gets seduced by Powerball. Smack them down and we’re home-free.
Pray harder.
