Her Ed.D. was begun when she took the BRHS job and, apparently, ended when she got the Ed.D. and took a higher paying job down the hill
What about Brandman?
Isn’t that special?
Her combined pay and benefits last year at BRHS was about $150k.

Boy, talk about the inmates running the asylum. If the #2 at the DNC and face of the Dem Party looks like this, I gotta feel sorry for the voters of MN. Why even have a AG if they elect one with a long history of support for cop killers?
——
In September 1992 Minneapolis police officer Jerry Haaf was murdered execution-style, shot in the back as he took a coffee break at a restaurant in south Minneapolis. Police later determined that Haaf’s murder was a gang hit performed by four members of the city’s Vice Lords gang.The leader of the Vice Lords was Sharif Willis, a convicted murderer who had been released from prison……..
Ellison led the crowd assembled at the courthouse in a chant that was ominous in the context of Haaf’s cold-blooded murder: “We don’t get no justice, you don’t get no peace.” Ellison’s working relationship with Sharif Willis finally came to an end in February 1995, when Willis was convicted in federal court on several counts of drug and gun-related crimes and sent back to prison for 20 years.
Ellison’s support for Soliah/Olson in the speech is equally notable. He denounced law enforcement authorities for prosecuting the attempted murder of police officers. Referring to the days Soliah/Olson had spent in the SLA under the leadership of Donald DeFreeze (“Field Marshal Cinque”), Ellison hailed Soliah/Olson as a “black gang member” and portrayed her as a victim of government persecution. He described her as one of those who had been “fighting for freedom in the ‘60s and’70s” and called for her release. Ellison to the contrary notwithstanding, Soliah/Olson pleaded guilty to the crimes charged in Los Angeles and to an additional murder charge in Sacramento.
According to Ellison, Soliah/Olson was a social justice warrior fighting the good fight. The case had nothing to do with the attempted murder of police officers; that was but a pretext.
In his National Lawyers Guild speech Ellison spoke favorably of cop killers Mumia Abu-Jamal and “Assata Shakur” (Joanne Chesimard), who was wanted for the murder of New Jersey state trooper Werner Foerster in 1973. Chesimard was convicted of that murder but escaped from prison in 1979 and has been on the lam in Cuba since 1984. Bryan Burrough’s Days of Rage has a riveting account of Chesimard’s terrorist career. In 2013, the FBI made Chesimard the first woman named to its Most Wanted Terrorists List. The FBI has offered a reward of up to $1,000,000 for her capture.
Yet Ellison prayed for Chesimard in his National Lawyers Guild speech: “I am praying that Castro does not get to the point where he has to really barter with these guys over here because they’re going to get Assata Shakur, they’re going to get a whole lot of other people,” he told the crowd. “I hope the Cuba[n] people can stick to it, because the freedom of some good decent people depends on it.”

”Yesterday I called the office of special counsel Robert Mueller, the former U.S. attorney for Boston, who knew all of the six or seven FBI agents who were accused in federal court of taking payoffs from gangsters.
Some of them were the agents who framed four innocent men for a murder they did not commit, while taking cash from Stevie Flemmi, whom they refused to arrest for 30 years while he was, by his own account, committing 50 murders in four different states.
Gosh, Mueller knew someone!!!
Yes, the Boston office was the perfect place to train “Special” Agent Strzok.
My question for Mueller was, after he hired Strzok for his witch hunt, did they ever talk about how the FBI allowed the four innocent men to languish in prison for 35 years?
Gosh yes, inquiring talk show hosts want to know!!!
Mueller’s office declined to comment.
But it makes perfect sense that Mueller would want somebody from the Boston office to handle his frame-up, I mean investigation. Who knows more about railroaded people who didn’t commit a crime than the Boston FBI office?
Makes sense to talk show hosts who pander to conspiracy minded paranoids
Just ask former U.S. District Court Judge Nancy Gertner. In 2003, she threatened to cite Mueller for contempt of court for his refusal to turn over exculpatory evidence when the wronged men sued. (She eventually awarded them $107 million.)
“The position the FBI is taking is chilling,” she informed Mueller. “This Court is not remotely satisfied.”
Threatened??? Wow, that is just well threatening!!!
Remember what Strzok had to say to his married girlfriend about Trump voters? He called them “ignorant hillbillies.” He said that he could “smell” them in the local Walmart.
The smelly hillbillies would be trump voters if only they could get Voter IDs!!!
So I was surprised yesterday when I began researching his years in Massachusetts and discovered that he apparently lived not in Cambridge or Brookline, but in North Attleboro. Amazing — a snob who lived in North Attleboro.”

The very important thing to remember about Peter Strzok is this: After jumping from the Hillary e-mail whitewash in late July 2016 straight to investigating Trump by 8/01/2016, Strzok spent 10 months doing the counter intelligence thang looking for any or violations of Trump for 10 months. 10 months of turning over every rock before he agreed to join the Meuller team. The Dossier was already out, and just about everything we know and through leaks, anonymous sources quoted in the Huff-N-Post, NYT, Wa Compost, lamestream media we knew then. So did Peter.
So after 10 months of using every tool at his counter-intelligence and the FBI’s disposal, he texted Lisa Page he was going to join Meuller’s team but “there is no there there.” Cue Peter rolling his eyes that he is joining Meuller. There is no there there. Waste of time. Let’s go through the motions.
Let that sink in. After 10 months of going after Trump and Collusion with Russia like a rabid dog and hating on Trump with the fervent fever of TDS (bending and breaking rules along the way): Strzok conceded in confidence that there was nothing there. There is no there there.
———-
Meanwhile, Meuller went over to his former digs at the FBI and Justice, blew the dust of an old file on Manafort, and reopened the closed file. Meuller by statute was supposed to follow the leads that he uncovered during his anal probe of Trump, but instead violated the statute by grabbing an old file on Manafort and started there. This, tax fraud charges going back to the W Bush Administration.

The truth will set you free!
U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta previously blessed the FBI’s decision to refuse such FOIA requests by declining to confirm whether any records exist about aspects of its handling of the hotly contested dossier, prepared by the former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele. The judge ruled in January that Trump’s tweets about the dossier did not require the FBI and other intelligence agencies to be more responsive to public records requests on the issue.
However, Mehta said Trump’s actions in February to greenlight the release of one memo from House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) and a separate memo from the panel’s ranking Democrat, Rep. Adam Schiff of California, left untenable the FBI’s position of resisting disclosure.
“It remains no longer logical nor plausible for the FBI to maintain that it cannot confirm nor deny the existence of documents” related to attempts to verify information in the dossier, Mehta wrote in a 13-page opinion.

Mexico ready to close a deal and then emperor xi blinked –
While the Chinese continued to talk tough for public consumption, a series of developments suggest that Beijing is feeling the pain and badly wants a deal.
For one thing, China’s stock and currency markets have been battered since the dispute began to ratchet up. The Shanghai index is off more than 25 percent in the last year and the Chinese currency, the renminbi, is down more than 6 percent against the U.S. dollar.
The government reported Tuesday that spending on fixed assets fell to the lowest point in nearly 20 years and unemployment showed a substantial rise. Both indicators are a sign of China’s economy cooling because of the trade dispute.
Another pain point for Beijing is emerging criticism of the government’s handling of the trade dispute. Reuters reported from China last week that Wang Huning, President Xi Jinping’s ideology chief, was being openly criticized for provoking the United States with rhetoric that is considered too nationalistic.

However, it looks like the eurozone’s largest economy has relented to Trump’s threats after German state-owned rail operator Deutsche Bahn and Deutsche Telekom (DTE.DE) confirmed that they are are ending projects in Iran. This follows German carmaker Daimler (DAI.F) halting all activities in the country too.
It is perhaps unsurprising that Germany has been rolling back its dealings with Iran after assessing the numbers. While 10,000 German companies trade with Iran and around 120 German firms operate and have staff of their own in the country, including Siemens (SIE.DE), this is pocket change for the economy when compared with dealings it has with the US.

———
“Lawyers meanwhile note that it is a crime for a federal official to participate in any government matter in which he has a financial interest. Fusion’s bank records presumably show Nellie Ohr, and by extension her husband, benefiting from the Trump opposition research that Mr. Ohr continued to pass to the FBI. The Justice Department declined to comment.
But for all Mr. Ohr’s misdeeds, the worse misconduct is by the FBI and Justice Department. It’s bad enough that the bureau relied on a dossier crafted by a man in the employ of the rival presidential campaign. Bad enough that it never informed the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of that dossier’s provenance. And bad enough that the FBI didn’t fire Mr. Steele as a confidential human source in September 2016 when it should have been obvious he was leaking FBI details to the press to harm Donald Trump’s electoral chances. It terminated him only when it was absolutely forced to, after Mr. Steele gave an on-the-record interview on Oct. 31, 2016.
But now we discover the FBI continued to go to this discredited informant in its investigation after the firing—by funneling his information via a Justice Department cutout. The FBI has an entire manual governing the use of confidential sources, with elaborate rules on validations, standards and documentation. Mr. Steele failed these standards. The FBI then evaded its own program to get at his info anyway.”

The gun grabbers lose a big one –
A judge in Washington has thrown out more than 300,000 signatures to put a gun-control initiative on the November ballot, saying the petition format did not follow election law.
Thurston County Superior Court Judge James Dixon said Friday the signature petitions for Initiative 1639 did not clearly identify what would change in the law and the font was too small to be readable. He ordered the secretary of state’s office to stop certification of the ballot measure.
The National Rifle Association and Bellevue-based Second Amendment Foundation had filed a lawsuit against Secretary of State Kim Wyman to get the initiative off the ballot, arguing the people who signed the petitions didn’t know what it would do.
“The initiative process has no place for deceit and deception,” said Alan Gottlieb, founder of the Second Amendment Foundation. “A few billionaires donated millions of dollars to buy the signatures to get this fraudulent initiative on the ballot, but they couldn’t buy the court.”

That process is underway through the newly-imposed newsprint tariffs instituted by the Trump administration. Newsprint tariffs have attributed to the increasing costs of our own hometown paper, The Union, with costs rising over 25 percent this past year. This growing concern is being accelerated by these same tariffs throughout our country.

”’But the labor-force participation rate stands at 60.6 percent, far below its peak of 77.5 percent in July 1989, the BLS added. This rate illustrates the share of 16 to 24 year olds who are working or looking and available for work.
For 16-to-19 year-olds in particular, participation is at a record low. Just 35 percent of that age group is looking for work or working—the lowest figure since record-keeping started in 1948.”’

M 836am – Yes indeed Mr M, that the participation rate continues to decline and its causes have been covered for years in these pages and will engage us again, is an established part of this dialogue/debate. (Your continual treatment of RR as having started last week is charmingly juvenile.) The point to celebrate today is that even at the current participation rates we are plumbing lows in unemployment. Of course, you and yours would celebrate the obverse.

”’Your continual treatment of RR as having started last week…”’ Why yes, that is exactly what I see coming from Dear Donnie,,,
He is convinced that the ”’now Great Economy”’ began with Trump!!! Kind of a Donnie Come Lately viewpoint!!!

M 1114am – You and yours must needs remain irreconcilable on the economy, else the entire Praise to Obama narrative collapses. Please look at the data. Obama is the nation’s record holder for stifling a post-recession economy. But again, neither of our cohorts see or acknowledge the same facts from the same numbers. That is why we don’t want you or yours to govern us, and why we are now beyond the tipping point and should be working together toward a peaceful Great Divide.

George 1134am – Yes, of course mistakes were made,,,pork barrel pigs got in there and messed things up
The half Trillion or so that initially went to the banks could have simply been used to pay off the existing debt on the stuff that was being repackaged and sold to investors instead of the way it went down.
But ”’me and mine”’ blame the banks that took the bailouts and all the politicians,,,not merely the newbie president who inherited the mess.
But of course ”’you and yours”’ want to take all the credit,,,the trumpski mindset contagian TMS is rampant in you and yours

Douglas Keachie, the presumed author using the “M” net name, is a vandal, nothing more, nothing less. He’s here to spread his sh!t as far and wide as possible ti DERAIL and defame, not to engage in any logical argument. He’s been at it for literally YEARS and followed me here from Pelline’s blog after Jeffie decided he couldn’t have me on his blog, winning arguments the old fashioned way.

Here’s the money quote Keach ignored when he posted the link in his 836am:
“The latest government data suggests that young Americans who want to find work are having an easier time of it. Yet the lagging labor force participation rate points to a longer-term trend of teens and college-age students opting for summer school, volunteer work or other unpaid activities. That’s because some teens and their parents believe that may give them a better shot at getting into a competitive college or landing a lucrative job when they’re out of college.”
Kids are expected to be unpaid interns (aka slaves) now, in order to polish their volunteer resumes, for good schools, for good jobs. Even Terry McAteer is pushing this as a REQUIREMENT for high school graduation, ending formal academic classes on November 1st of the student’s senior year, perhaps the silliest idea McAteer ever spouted (and I remember his support of Joe Hasenstab of “Performance Learning Systems” who suggested getting rid of all academics and had kids days inverted… with all extra-curricular activities swapped with curricula… because success in life correlated with kid’s involvement with soccer practices and other fun stuff).

The dem/socialist emperor has no clothes –
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the Massachusetts Democrat, made this quite clear on Wednesday when she introduced the “Accountable Capitalism Act.” A more accurate name would have been the “First Step to Overthrowing Capitalism Act,” because a long-term objective of the Democratic Socialists of America is crushing capitalism. They want an economy that isn’t free and open but subject to their boot on its throat.
Requires “a United States corporation” to “ensure that no fewer than 40% of its directors are selected by the corporation’s employees.”
“Restricts the sales of company shares by the directors and officers of United States corporations.”
“Prohibits United States corporations from making any political expenditures without the approval of 75% of its directors and shareholders.”
“Permits the federal government to revoke the charter of a United States corporation if the company has engaged in repeated and egregious illegal conduct.”
Why didn’t she just say this is the first step toward establishing a new people’s republic? Isn’t that what it is?
