After carefully perusing ample evidence on the matter, I am sad to conclude as gently as I can that Board Trustee of the Nevada Joint Union High School District Ms Linda Campbell is an idiot. My non-accredited belief is based on following her previous public correspondence, and was confirmed this morning by a reading of her ‘Capitalism is not an ideology’ in the 10jul15 Union. Her long involvement in public schools and secondary education goes quite a distance to explain how people like her created the national tragedy that today we call our public education system. It is clear that there must exist other more salubrious assessments of her intellect which differ from my considered opinion, and therefore she is in no danger of being relieved of her position in guiding the education of our county’s young. I grieve alone.
Hillary lies and the lamestream buys. How can you deny being subpoenaed by the United States Congress when the subpoena is a matter of public record the delivery of which is fully documented, and the damn thing can be held up in front of any TV camera and published online? If you or I copied Hillary, the US Marshall would have our butts behind bars before we could mumble our name, rank, and serial number. Any Republican ever try that?
Given the response to the insane Greek referendum last weekend, and the kind of rotten apples that the coming grexit will shake from the EU tree, I wonder what tune our national (and local) celebrants of ‘European style socialism’ will sing. The reason that Greece’s pinprick of an economy on the European butt is so important is what it reveals about the financial state of other EU stalwarts like Italy, Spain, and, gasp!, France. All of them are in debt up to their eyeballs with no credible way of paying it off under the economic futures made possible by their embrace of socialism. If Greece gets off paying its debts with drachmas, what keeps the socialists in Italy, Spain, and France from demanding equal time for the lira, peso, and franc? RR has been pointing out for years the unsustainable spending these lunatics have been doing. In spite of that, our progressives still want to saddle America with the same system. I hope more than the Collective Cricket Corps will respond to these revealing developments. Many more of us should share Angela Merkel’s fears.
[11jul15 update] Well, it turns out that Jade Helm (q.v.) starts on 15 July in Texas and several other western states. There has formed an organized multi-state citizens group to monitor the surreptitious federal training exercise from which the regular media will be excluded from covering. A reader sent me this link to a website that reports the goings on including a statement from Texas Governor Abbot describing his state’s efforts to monitor JH-15 (the formal name of this exercise). Pay close attention to the governor’s words to see whether he’s acting as cover for the feds or is really doing what he claims to answer citizens’ concerns. In any event, the governor continually tells us that he’s been “assured by the special forces commanders” that people have nothing to worry about. No journalist has been smart enough to ask why he’s talking to local field commanders of a mysterious exercise that’s been authorized and directed by the Pentagon and the Obama administration. Why doesn’t the governor call the President and get the lowdown on what’s going on so the whole country can hear?
In other news, I was taken by a couple of items sure to miss the attention of our progressive brethren and cistern.
Obama’s SecState Kerry is demonstrating that he is at best half as bright as Hillary in foreign affairs, and about Iran in particular. Iran just held its annual Quds Day celebration the focus of which is the annual renewal and rededication of its pledge to erase Israel and America from world maps. In the current negotiations they have continually told us to kiss their butts about open and spontaneous inspections, and demanded that they will sign no agreement that does not end all sanctions from day one. During all this time Kerry has been offering to kiss every Iranian negotiator on all four cheeks if only they would give him something that could form the basis for a believable lie that would fly with America’s gruberized. In the meantime, deadline after deadline has passed, now beyond embarrassment, as the Iranians keep asking what part of ‘No!’ confuses Kerry. (more here)
The Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) is the federal ruse for states signing up to generate power from renewable sources. The progressive pipe dream has long been sold as a way to generate sustainable, low cost green power from renewable sources. Decades ago those with a smidgeon of numeracy and a 3-digit IQ demonstrated to the dreamers why none of it would work. That was ignored and politicians started signing up their states into various RPS programs pledging to increase their percentages of green energy production. Of course reality immediately asserted itself, and states began begging off as their electricity prices soared and continued their journey to the moon. The federal Energy Information Administration tells us the tale – electricity in RPS states costs on average 22.9% more than in non-RPS states. States have been dropping out of RPS in droves, the latest two being North Carolina and Kansas. But that don’t make no never mind to the Agenda21 crowd who will make sure the lamestream never reports any of it. (more here)
