Career criminal worth more dead than alive

George Floyd’s family has been awarded a $27 million settlement declaring it “a necessary step for all of us to begin to get some closure,” while extolling his “legacy”

The death of violent career criminal and repeatedly incarcerated*George Floyd, has become a rallying cry for defunding the police. We all saw Minneapolis officer Derek Chauvin restraining 6′ 4″ 223 lb. Floyd with a knee to his neck. He is jailed and awaiting trial with jury selection underway. Three other officers who witnessed the incident will be tried together in a separate trial scheduled for Aug. 23, 2021. Following Floyd’s death the city council, in a unanimous vote, quickly withdrew $8 million dollars from the police budget, over the mayor’s objections, which resulted in an escalated crime wave…with violent uprisings throughout the city.

Unemployed George Floyd, aka Floyd Perry, was resisting arrest as he was apprehended for attempting to pass a counterfeit $20 dollar bill in a store. As his autopsy report verifies, he was high on drugs. Yet he became the rallying cry for violent BLM looters and arsonists who mounted destructive demonstrations in numerous American cities. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, a committed leftist, was met with loud boos and jeers after telling demonstrators he did not support abolishing the city police department. They later assembled on the lawn of his home chanting derogatory slogans.

Now George Floyd’s family has been awarded a $27 million settlement, unanimously approved by Minneapolis’ City Council. Frey is a member of the Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL) and the city council which has 13 members, is also dominated by the far left-wing party, with a total of 12 members. The Green Party of Minnesota has one council member. There is not a single Republican city representative.

George Floyd’s brother, Rodney Floyd, preposterously called the $multi-million settlement “a necessary step for all of us to begin to get some closure.”

Doling out money is not an impediment for the radical council. As of 2021, Minneapolis council members have a base salary of $106,101, excluding numerous benefits. In a cozy deal, salary increases for council members and the mayor are based on “averaging out the increases included in the union contracts they approved the previous year.”

AZ Ed Supe Kathy Hoffman: The gift that keeps on giving

Putting democrats in charge of education is a fool’s errand

Ever on the cutting edge of Arizona’s remote learning education system, as she bows to the not-inclined-to-work teacher’s unions, Kathy Hoffman, the state’s far left Superintendent of Public Instruction has a novel plan to ensure students are learning…how not to be racist. Training should begin in infancy. It promotes racial “equity and diversity” through an “anti-racist” program that advances the outrageous notion that white babies and toddlers are racist.

Caucasian self-flagellation has become expected. There is actually an article on HuffPost titled, “How white parents can talk to their kids about race,” which includes an age-by-age guide for white parents to address “racism and privilege” with their children.  It states: “White parents can and should begin addressing issues of race and racism early, even before their children can speak.”

Race now takes precedent to learning. According to a bizarre study conducted by the Children‘s Community School in Pittsburgh, a preschool dedicated to “economic and racial justice,” by the age of five, white children are strongly biased in favor of whiteness, while black and Hispanic children showed no preference toward their own groups.  Seriously.

Provided for Arizona teachers is an “equity and diversity” tool kit.

And though American students fall far behind other nations in basic skills, Kathy Hoffman has incorporated the exclusively inclusive Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. A focus on ethnicity rather than education is preposterous, in addition to ill-preparing our children to succeed in a global economy. All the more so after having lost a year of schooling due to the COVID virus and teacher’s refusals to teach, despite medical studies pointing to the fact that children are not virus transmitters.

This shocking televised news report on the abysmal failure of public education is definitely worth your time.

Arizona’s Superintendent of Public Instruction is the lowest salaried state education administrator in the United States, paid $85,000 compared to the national average of $174,000.

In democrat Kathy Hoffman’s case, she’s overpaid.

Sham scheme to “eliminate racism” dumbs down math students

Who knew math was “capitalist, imperialist, and racist”?

Today we’re taking our readers directly to a head-spinning example of the lunacy that leftist billionaire Bill Gates is funding through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

The Washington Examiner tops its crucial exposé with these words: “Gates Foundation behind effort to end white supremacy in math instruction by eliminating need for students to show work.”

No kidding.

This opinion piece by Jeremy Beaman explains The “Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction” which is best described as racist.

The actual guidelines to the Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction uses these descriptive words, claiming to facilitate an ”Integrated approach to mathematics that centers Black, Latinx, and Multilingual students in grades 6-8, addresses barriers to math equity, and aligns instruction to grade-level priority standards.” The site includes “5 Strides on the Path to Math Equality,” each with its own download

Rather than focusing on one correct answer, the program encourages math teachers to “come up with at least two answers that might solve a problem.”

It continues with this indecipherable jargon: “Challenge standardized test questions by getting the ‘right’ answer, and justify other answers by unpacking the assumptions that are made in the problem.”

The scheme also encourages teachers to “center ethnomathematics,” which includes a variety of guidelines. One of them instructs educators to “identify and challenge the ways that math is used to uphold capitalist, imperialist, and racist views.”

The consequences of this radicalism passing as education can’t be overstated. A catastrophe is first invading America’s far left, educrat-run classrooms* and will then envelop our nation unless we expose and eradicate it now.

Mark Cuban: “National anthem doesn’t represent America”

Who does Anthem Maverick Mark Cuban represent? Certainly not his own grandparents

Multi-billionaire Mark Cuban briefly toyed with the idea of running for president in 2020. In a sports crazed nation, the Dallas Maverick’s owner might have generated some success, but dropped out before having to address the realities of running the nation and interacting on the world stage. Flirting with self aggrandizing notions and then dropping them is not the purview of ordinary Americans.

The day after Cuban announced he had no plans to play the national anthem at any future home games, reinforcing a decision he implemented last season, NBA Chief Communications Officer Mike Bass released this statement on Wednesday:

“With NBA teams now in the process of welcoming back fans into their arenas, all teams will play the national anthem in keeping with longstanding league policy.”

“We respect and always have respected the passion people have for the anthem and our country,” according to Cuban’s flawed rationale. “But we also loudly hear the voices of those who feel that the anthem does not represent them. We feel that their voices need to be respected and heard, because they have not been.”

“Our hope is that going forward people will take the same passion they have for this issue and apply the same amount of energy to listen to those who feel differently from them,” he said. “Then we can move forward and have courageous conversations that move this country forward and find what unites us.”

Cuban had previously expressed support for players kneeling during the national anthem, saying “if they were taking a knee and they were being respectful, I’d be proud of them. Hopefully I’d join them.”

The un-American concept is all the more outlandish coming from a man whose own grandparents were immigrants from repressive Russia and Romania. His Russian-born paternal grandfather anglicized the family name from “Chabenisky” to “Cuban.” No doubt they felt pride in being Americans and having the ability to live in freedom and opportunity. Cuban’s father worked as an automobile upholsterer, who likely never dreamed his son would achieve such success in a country he now thumbs his nose at, for not being inclusive enough.

Aged lib Nancy Sinatra “will never forgive” Trump supporters

…as she hopes her Trump hatred “doesn’t kill her

Nancy Sinatra has had one thing going for her…a famous last name. She is defined by a 1967 duet with her father, Frank, appropriately titled “Something Stupid,” recorded on her father’s Reprise label. Nothing has changed these many years later. Now closing in on 81, and longing for the spotlight that has mostly eluded her, she exhibits none of the class that her tuxedoed, talented father radiated. He attended John Kennedy’s inaugural celebration and was an equally welcome guest at Ronald Reagan’s, where he danced with First Lady Nancy Reagan.  President Trump and First Lady Melania’s first dance was to Sinatra’s signature tune “My Way,“ at the 2016 inaugural ball.

A Democrat for the first half of his life, Frank Sinatra eventually saw the light and permanently switched to Republican when Ronald Reagan ran for a second term as governor of California in 1970.

Frank’s daughter, known for raunch, shared the same name as Mrs. Reagan, though none of the elegance, wants Second Amendment supporting Trump voters eradicated, telling the British press she now has a deep anger inside of her toward Trump’s voters.

“We squeaked by (in the November election). I don’t know what I would have done if Biden had lost. It crossed my mind to move to another country,” she said. “I couldn’t believe that this great nation had sunk so low. I’ll never forgive the people that voted for him (President Donald Trump), ever. I have an angry place inside of me now. I hope it doesn’t kill me.”

Nancy Sinatra is no stranger to this type of extremist rhetoric. Apparently unfamiliar with the Second Amendment to the Constitution, she blamed law abiding gun owners for the horrific 2017 massacre at a country music festival on the Las Vegas strip. The killer, meticulously plotted and executed the mass killings then shot himself. “The murderous members of the NRA should face a firing squad,” Ms. Sinatra was quoted as saying.

Your tax $$ at work: ASU does “equity” cloaked as equality

Hopping on the trendiest of leftist misadventures, Arizona State University launches its Center for the Future of Equality. If your kids are of ethnic European heritage, understand they will be marginalized in every aspect of their higher education, regardless of their GPA and other scholastic achievements. Thanks to the deification of drug addicted, (Hennepin County Autopsy Report, page 2), career criminal George Floyd, incarcerated numerous times, we have entered the bizarre self-flagellation era of Melanin Matters. Floyd’s rap sheets can be viewed in the link.

To be brought up to speed on what the leftist, agendized social reformers at Arizona State University are actually proclaiming, read, “Equality vs. equity in Joe Biden’s America,” by John Leonard.

The preferred educrat term of the moment is equity, replacing equality, although used interchangeably when it suits their purposes. Equality is based on a universally assured fairness. Equity is a concept newly contrived by the Harris/Biden administration that imposes a vague, illogical concept of “fairness” now based on the amount of melanin in your skin pigment or whether you are at odds with the gender you were born.

You’re invited
Issues of social inequality, racism and economic disparity remain at the forefront of the most serious challenges facing America. The COVID-19 pandemic has amplified their complexity and diminished the confidence and resources of many Americans, yielding serious implications for our nation’s overall health, security and social cohesion. Moreover, business, government and civil sectors have put forth few sustainable solutions.

To move beyond publishing research and reports, ASU is launching a new kind of academic endeavor – An ASU Center for the Future of Equality – to create tangible and useful products that communities can use to help reduce the effects of inequality.

Please join us on February 11 at 1 p.m. MST for a special, virtual launch event where we will unveil additional details, including the Center’s full name, and hear from ASU President Michael M. Crow, other university leaders, and Executive Director Ehsan Zaffar, about the inception and realization of this initiative. We will also share our plans for 2021 and opportunities for collaboration.

AZ Republic suppresses facts in pedophilia case

Hatred, deceit, and now cover-up of unspeakable crimes against boys drive leftist AZ Republic closer to last breath

It’s no secret the anorexic, GOP-hating Arizona Republic is in serious trouble, losing subscribers faster than other newspapers in the Gannett stable and in a desperate cost-cutting measure, had to vacate its own building. To fill the decreasing pages with editor-less student reporters leftist drivel, half, three-quarter or even full page photos are increasingly used. A recent edition detailing the deaths of illegal aliens trying to breach our sovereign border, blames “Trump’s wall,” for forcing them further into desert areas. It’s actually America’s wall — which was a promise he made as a candidate in 2015, and brought him supporters who agreed that we have a right to secure our nation’s border.

Vacuous columnist Karina Bland, who specializes in being middle-aged, is often replaced by recycled columns from Clay Thompson who died in 2018.  In an effort to preserve their job security, reporters who have survived the mass firings and cutbacks at the increasingly feeble, Hillary-endorsing Arizona Republic have voted in favor of unionizing.

Now even Gilbert-based City News and Talk reports that a lawsuit has been filed claiming newspaper circulation managers did not act when they were told paperboys in the 1970s were being sexually abused by their advisors at The Arizona Republic and its defunct afternoon edition newspaper, The Phoenix Gazette.

The civil suit listing six defendants (Case Number: CV2020-016042) was filed Dec. 9, 2020 by attorney John Charland in Maricopa County Superior Court. 

Those seeking information on the cover-up of the pedophilia, won’t find it in the pages of the Arizona Republic. The Phoenix New Times provides an excellent, in-depth report. Even the New Jersey Globe, 3,000 miles away, has covered the story.

Always politically correct, the Arizona Republic gives days of coverage to the fabricated holiday known as Kwanzaa celebrated mostly by white liberals and by 2.3% of American blacks. It was created in 1966 by convicted rapist and violent criminal Maulana Ndabezitha Karenga (born Ronald McKinley Everett), a Marxist, anti-Christian, who was active in the formation of the radical leftist and revolutionary Black Power movement in the 1960s.

Covering the sexual abuse of paperboys lawsuit is not on the newspaper’s agenda.  It takes courage for accuser Gregory Brown to come forward and admit how he and other young boys were exploited by perverts in the employ of the Arizona Republic. The vile acts perpetrated were life altering as detailed by the Phoenix New Times. We wish his attorney John Charland success in this important case.

It should be the final nail in the failing newspaper’s coffin.

Slo Joe gets his orders on “diverse” cabinet picks

Puppeteer Obama pulling the strings on marionette Biden

Americans are being led to believe that frail Joe Biden, a pathetic shell of a man who spent the pre-election months holed up in his basement, is now portrayed as busying himself making cabinet appointments. The selections are focused, as democrat’s usually are, on gender, ethnicity and a solid dose of radicalism rather than actual credentials. A key component appears to be previous experience within the Obama administration, which makes sense since the string-pulling puppet master is none other than Barack Obama himself, whom Biden served as vice president. The tactic is to prop up old Joe until he trips and falls again and trade him out for impatient Kamala Harris, who has already mastered the fake, Clinton-honed, point into the audience while sporting a false grin of recognition of long lost cronies.

Associated Press (AP) which blandly refers to hard-core leftists, as “progressives” has been cheer-leading Biden’s cabinet picks, rife with resurrected Obama administration radicals and accomplished liars such as former U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice who made the rounds of Sunday news shows following the Sept. 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, blaming the deaths of four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens on what she knew to be a false report that an anti-Mohammad video “spontaneously” inflamed the murderers. Rice is Biden’s pick for the Director of White House Domestic Policy Council.

Ohio U.S. Rep. Marcia Fudge, who once protested that the job of Housing Secretary was frequently “typecast” as a black role, dutifully took the spot. AP reported that she was seeking to lead the Agriculture Department, but that job went to Tom Vilsack, described as a “70-year-old white man,” who held that job during the eight years of the Obama administration. He had previously apologized for having the audacity to fire a black woman when he headed the agency.

Taiwanese Katherine Tai, is Biden’s pick for U.S. trade representative. He is said to be considering New Mexico U.S. Rep. Deb Haaland, self-described as an enrolled member of the Pueblo of Laguna tribe, as the first Native American secretary of the Interior.

Pete Buttigieg, the former South Bend Indiana mayor, married to another man, has been nominated as the first openly homosexual cabinet member, as secretary of transportation.

Race, ethnicity and sexual preference have become the defining characteristics of Biden’s cabinet choices.

Frail Biden’s recent fall, passed off on “playing with his dog,” necessitated the need for a walking boot. They’ll be myriad such “blame the dog incidents,” before he’s carted off never to be seen again.

Time magazine names two “person” of the year

Ethnicity and gender trample achievements

If you ever thought the media wasn’t in the tank for the left, think again. So enthralled with the Harris/Biden ticket the editors of Time magazine, narrowed the field of Person of the Year down to a short list that included, “Movement for Racial Justice,” to ultimately name the democrat duo the 2020 “Person.”

Kamala Harris’ interview is titled, “Restoring the Soul of the Nation “ Not a word is said about her radical views and the fact that during her time in the U.S. Senate, her voting record was to the left of registered socialist Bernie Sanders. Harris was ranked by non-partisan GovTrack as “the most politically left compared to All Senators,” and joined bipartisan bills less often compared to other Senate Democrats.

In 2019, TIME’s Person of the Year was Greta Thunberg, the Swedish teenage environmental militant, who took a “sabbatical” from school to take on the issue of climate change. She haughtily insulted world leaders, notably President Trump, zealously imparting her dogma. Once given a forum at the United Nations, she has mercifully become a flash in the pan.

Of it,s 2020 choice, Time struggling to maintain print editions, writes:

“The selection of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris marks the first time a President-elect and Vice President-elect have appeared together on a Person of the Year cover. Harris is the first Vice President-elect to be named a Person of the Year. Harris is also the first Black person, first woman and first Asian-American to hold the office of Vice President.”

Race and gender, two things over which Harris has no control, make her a standout.  Her extremist views, radical voting record and pro-abortion stance are inconsequentially brushed aside like lint on a pinstripe suit sleeve.

These are the deceitful words the magazine uses to describe President Donald Trump: “Similar to every year he’s been in office, Trump’s had an immense influence on 2020. His Administration has been highly criticized for its response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since losing the election, he’s baselessly claimed that there was fraud and falsely said that he’s the winner.”

President Trump, a businessman who knows how to get things done, is not given accolades for the historically best economy he oversaw, prior to the advent of the Chinese lab engineered pandemic. He is not given credit for expediting a vaccine to combat the coronavirus — coming into use in record time — known as “Operation Warp Speed.” His Middle East peace deals are unrivaled. There is nothing he can do that would please the leftists. The rest of us, who know he has kept his campaign promises,  consider him the best and most effective president in our lifetimes.

 

Remembering Dec. 7, 1941: “A date which will live in infamy”

USS Arizona after Japanese attack

Airhead Cronkite School intern/Arizona Republic reporter Jamie Landers massages history, writing the United States was attacked…but never mentions the attacker

Today marks the 79th anniversary of the Japanese stealth bombing attack on our naval fleet in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii resulting in the deaths of 2,335 American service members and 68 civilians. Nearly 1,180 were injured. The attack sank 12 naval vessels and heavily damaged nine others.

President Donald Trump released this Proclamation in remembrance of that horrific day that precipitated United States involvement in World War II.

The USS Arizona still lies beneath the harbor with its dead entombed. The ship sank in less than nine minutes after a 1,760-pound armor-piercing bomb penetrated its decks and exploded in the ship’s forward ammunition magazine. 1,177 sailors and marines on board were killed; 334 crew members survived.

Other major installations on Oahu, including Wheeler Field and Kaneohe Naval Air Station, also were attacked.

View President Franklin Roosevelt’s famous “A date which will live in infamy” speech (Original Draft: page 1, page 2 and page 3) and Declaration of War following that unprovoked attack.

In his address to a joint session of congress declaring war on Japan, President Roosevelt rightfully referred to December 7, 1941 as, “a date which will live in infamy.”

But President Franklin Roosevelt could never have anticipated the politically correct and undereducated Cronkite News “Social Justice” Arizona Republic intern/reporter Jamie Landers who dutifully covered the 79^th Pearl Harbor anniversary without ever mentioning the stealth attack was an unprovoked ambush perpetrated by the Imperial Japanese forces against the United States.  She inanely writes the USS Arizona has “become a touchstone for the landlocked state.”

More than 1,000 crewmen remain entombed in the U.S. Arizona.
