Section 24.50 The Illinois Culturally Responsive Teaching and Leading Standards
sub (a)
1)Understand and value the notion that multiple lived experiences exist, that there is not one “correct”way of doing or understanding something, and that what is seen as “correct”is most often based on our lived experiences.
If you actually follow that line of reasoning, it pretty much negates the entire proposal as a mandate to how the teachers will conduct their lesson plans and classes. I would expect that the idea of there being no one ‘correct’ way of doing or understanding something suddenly doesn’t apply whenever the people in charge don’t want it to.
4)Include representative, familiar content in the curriculum to legitimize what students bring to class, while also exposing them to new ideas and worldviews different from their own.
“Legitimize” what the students bring to class? Really? Sexual abuse, drug addiction, ignorance, poverty, violence… That’s what a lot of students sadly bring into the class room. And the teacher is expected to ‘legitimize’ it.
Expose them to new ideas and worldviews?
This is the comedy part, right? Can you imagine a teacher bringing in a white, hetero male, Christian, conservative to explain their lifestyle, values and credos?
Hahahahahaha!!
It goes on and on.
Any teacher that would stay on and knuckle under to this kind of sick mind-warp deserves the ensuing rot of their existence.

It is coming clearer that with the Leftinistas take over of the public school system and teaching White Supremists behind under every school desk, the most important thing to go to break the stranglehold on the indoctrination of our youth is to yank our kids out of the public school system. Yes, the caveat Is if one has the means to do so. Another caveat is if one has an extremely gifted student in athletics where public schools offer the opportunity to play competitive sports and might help land a scholarship. It might take generations to undo the damage, but one step forward is a step closer. They built the Great Wall of China one stone at a time.
A few years ago I posted here that 76% of the Philadelphia public school teachers put their own kids in private schools. If a caring and loving teacher who knows what is going on in today’s classrooms pulls their own kids from the public education system and refuses to subject their own children to the carnage that they (as any intelligent parent with means would do) witness on a daily basis, then let’s follow their lead. They are closer to the stink than the average Johan Q Public.

“An intelligence agency has just confirmed that the US government does indeed buy location data collected by its citizens’ smartphones. In a memo sent to Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and obtained by The New York Times, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) admitted that it buys location data from brokers — and that the data isn’t separated by whether a person lives in the US or outside of it.
Data brokers are companies that, as the name implies, collect and sell people’s information. The companies collect people’s location information (and much more) by paying app makers and websites for it. Once the broker has the information, they can aggregate it and sell it to whoever’s willing to pay for it — including the US government.”

Mar-a-Lago is a ‘sad place’ since Trump moved in as members begin quitting: MSNBC guest
On MSNBC Saturday, author and historian Laurence Leamer discussed the imminent decline of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago country club, following reports that residents of Palm Beach, Florida may try to use local laws to prohibit him from living at the complex.
“I know that you live actually in this neck of the woods and you have witnessed the big return,” said anchor Alex Witt. “So what happened there and what’s happened since Wednesday? Are supporters camping out outside his property there? Are they lining the streets? What’s it look like?”
“No,” said Leamer who wrote the definitive book on the Mar-a-Lago resort. “What’s fascinating — I’ve talked to a bunch of people the last couple of days. A lot of people have quit Mar-a-Lago. They don’t want their names to be in The Washington Post or The New York Times, and the list of people that have quit, they’ve silently walked out. They don’t want anything to do with Donald Trump. And many of the members, they’re not going there very often, because it’s a very dispirited place. They’re not concerned about politics. It’s a sad place for Trump to be hanging out. It’s not what it was.”

It is not good for one’s health, one’s quality of life, one’s business or one’s reputation. A good reputation is more valuable than gold.

There does appear to be some argument about it, but then I’m not sure what ‘impeachment’ means beyond removal.

I’ll hunt around how this has been tortured.. “be removed from Office” seems pretty clear to me…but then “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” seems pretty clear, regardless of why that right is defined.

Zero asylum seekers to save society –
The Social Democrat leader went on to add that too few past politicians had done enough to integrate migrants and said that they had made too few demands of them, broadcaster TV 2 reports.
According to the broadcaster, Prime Minister Fredericksen stated that migrants must be able to support themselves financially and adapt to Danish values.
“We must be careful that there are not too many coming to our country, otherwise our cohesion cannot exist. It’s already challenged,” she said.
Last year, Prime Minister Frederiksen highlighted crimes committed by non-Western migrant men and promised her government would crack down on crime.
“One in five young men from non-Western backgrounds who were born in 1997 had breached the penal code before the age of 21. One in five,” she said.
“It’s nothing new, and that’s the problem: it’s been going on for too many years. Girls are called derogatory things because they are Danish. Or girls are subjected to social control because they have become too Danish. A sausage cart in Brønshøj is attacked with firecrackers because it sells pork,” Fredericksen observed.

Scenes.. “impeachment” is purely political It hold no water as a court of law.
Elected officials can’t criminally convict anyone.
Trump is already out of office.
This from Berkeley U of the net…..
“the Senate tries the accused. In the case of the impeachment of a president, the Chief Justice of the United States presides over the proceedings. For the impeachment of any other official, the Constitution is silent on who shall preside, suggesting that this role falls to the Senate’s usual presiding officer, the President of the Senate, who is also the Vice President of the United States. Conviction in the Senate requires the concurrence of a two-thirds supermajority of those present. The result of conviction is removal from office and (optionally, in a separate vote) disqualification from holding any federal office in the future, which requires a concurrence of only a majority of senators present”
Article 2 sec.4
“The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

aah, then there’s always something like this.

We conclude that the Constitution permits a former President to be criminally
prosecuted for the same offenses for which he was impeached by the House and
acquitted by the Senate while in office.”

So perhaps Trump could be convicted of some weakly-defined crime by a malleable Justice Department.
Here’s the deal.
. The charges against Trump are weak weak weak, just one more RussiaGate
. He’s too singularly brilliant a politician to leave wounded, he has to be removed from the chessboard.
. The Blue Mob is riding the tiger. There’s a deposed king, 70M people who are starting to feel like they’ll be stuck in Kolyma. If you push the Deplorables less, they might turn around and bite you, if you push them more, they get angrier.
An interesting game problem. My guess is that the strongest Blue Mob move is to threaten Trump and his family’s personal safety and freedom to the extent that he disappears. It would be kind of embarrassing if he ends up living near Snowden.
When a country is run by something similar to a criminal syndicate, all the major players know what the what is.

Oh well, like Joe Biden said once:
“But Federalist 65 also sounds a warning–again, it is a warning that has been invoked over and over again–that impeachments inevitably risk being hijacked by partisan political forces.
Federalist 65 worried that the “animosities, partialities, influence, and interest on one side or the other” would enable partisans to find a way to interpret words such as high crimes and misdemeanors to match the outcome they otherwise wished to reach–not necessarily out of any malevolence, but simply because of the great capacity that we all have to rationalize.”

Since Paul Emery’s job as an ace newsman is to take attention away from real stories, I think it would be cool to have a digest. I’ll do my best to keep this up.
“The Fox News host pointed out that the speech came just two weeks after former President Donald Trump….
Your guy Trump was a big supporter….
Mar-a-Lago is a ‘sad place’ since Trump….
Trump spreads his poison wherever he goes and may soon be homeless…
imminent decline of former President Donald Trump’s….
It’s a sad place for Trump to be hanging out….
Even if true he’s got a ways to go to catch up with Trump….”

‘A Trap?’ Clinton’s Russia collusion research started much earlier, made Steele nervous
First dossier written in April 2016, efforts included buying possible foreign video footage, declassified FBI memos state.
“Shearer and Blumenthal, two former journalists, have been longtime Clinton family associates and operatives whose associations with the the former first family have triggered past controversies, from Bosnia in the 1990s to Libya in the 2010s. Shearer is the brother-in-law of Strobe Talbott, Bill Clinton’s former deputy secretary of state.”
——
But Steele’s debriefing memo for the first time reveals the Shearer research was actually written in spring 2016, three months before Steele first approached the FBI with his anti-Trump dossier. And he revealed Shearer continued to seek Russian dirt on Trump into 2017, including video footage that Steele believed might have been a disinformation trap.
Steele alleged to the FBI that Shearer was negotiating with a Turkish businessman and an Azeri figure and “actively discussing a deal for the tapes” that included money and even a possible defection by a Russian FSB officer. The former MI6 agent said the operation made him uneasy because Shearer was “not acting discreetly.”
“STEELE advised that he wished to keep this interaction ‘at an arm’s length’ as he does not want to fall into a trap,” the declassified FBI memo reported. “STEELE opined that this could be genuine, or a fabrication or a set-up, suggesting that it could involve a faction of the Democratic Party.”

Boy, that name Sid Blumenthal just keeps popping up. Obama hates his guts for starting that rumor about Obama was not a US citizen by the Hillary 2008 campaign. It was her turn, the first time. And Blumenthal with Cody Shearer had that deal going on to supply weapons and make a lot of money IF we would I go into Libya. 29% of our the intel on Libya came from a private source, one Sidney Blumenthal. Hillary hardly knew him, rightttttt.
So, the House Minority Report was full of beans, eh?
Gowdy implies Clinton friend Blumenthal fed information to Steele

‘Hillary: Sid Blumenthal Is Just a Friend’
“Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-KS) confronted the former secretary of state for having received 150 emails from Blumenthal—many pertaining to Libya strategy—while claiming to have never received requests for additional security from the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.“
In return, Clinton said that while Blumenthal is obviously a friend of hers, “he had no official position in the government, and he was not at all my adviser on Libya. He was a friend who sent me information he thought might be in some way helpful.”
“I have lots of friends,” Pompeo shot back. “They send me things. I’ve never have somebody send me a couple things on the level of intelligence Mr. Blumenthal sent.”

COZY! WashPost ‘Fact Checker’ Admits They Won’t Count Biden’s False Claims
Kessler warmly accepted Biden’s use of liberal think tanks like the Brookings Institution, the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, and poverty analysts at Columbia University backed by liberal foundations like the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. But when Trump used the National Federation of Independent Business for a survey of small business confidence in 2018, Kessler dismissed it as a “conservative group” whose survey didn’t draw enough responses to impress him. “Misleading”!

That would be a valued public service scenes. An effort like that should have a memorable tag line associated with it…“Democracy dies in darkness” is the phrase those pretentious twits at the Washington Post decided to use for their efforts; poor though they may be.
Might I suggest blatantly stealing, ”Journalism is about covering the important stories. With a pillow, until they stop moving” From David Burge, of Iowahawk blog fame for yours. Or as an alternative, “Modern journalism is all about deciding which facts the public shouldn’t know because they might reflect badly on Democrats.” from Jim Treacher.
Either is fine I imagine although I suppose but the second perhaps is in closer alignment with Punchy’s understanding of journalistic ethics.

‘The Left Is Still Angry’
Even fresh off an election victory, the Left is still bitter, still seething, and still obsessed with Donald Trump
“The anger on the Left, though, isn’t limited to antifa. They’re angry everywhere, and the continued existence of one person seems to be the source of it. As Stacey Lennox of PJ Media writes, “One of President Trump’s most amazing skills was building a high-end condo where he lives rent-free in the left’s heads. Whether they are in the corporate media or other cultural institutions, these people are making it clear that the lease is not up. Their team just won an election and now controls Congress and the White House. Yet they are still miserable and seeing President Trump in their fever dreams.”
