Mystifying Pizza company decision, and is (was) Iowa tax money involved?

Of all the educational programs a company could sponsor  . . . they sponsor one racist to the core . . .  critical race theory

Iowa passes a law to stop it, signed into law today by Governor Reynolds,

But will it root out the obscure involvement of Iowa Child Care Resource and Referral which lists the curricula in its resource page for child care providers in the state (screen capture on file)

Before You Order from Pizza Hut, You Might Want to Know What They’re Supporting in Public School

Pizza Hut is unmasked for funding wildly racist critical race theory indoctrination in Brooklyn public schools. If you do not know what critical race theory teaches, click on the videos in the article  to see how thoroughly these fifth-graders have been taught to hate white people.  . . .

The kids in the videos above happen to live in Brooklyn. Pizza Hut’s racist curriculum is used well beyond Brooklyn . . .
Iowa is using it. Schools in your area may be using it too. Check for First Book, as that’s the innocuous name of the program.”

Trump: ‘Why Does Fox News Keep Chris Wallace?’  

A very good question! Having watched the Wallace interviews, I can attest to the accuracy of this account. It does, indeed, prompt President Trump’s question. dlh

The “radical left” Chris Wallace of Fox News was the subject of former President Donald Trump’s latest public ire.

Trump wrote in a Save America PAC statement released on Monday:
“Why does Fox News keep Chris Wallace? His ratings are terrible, he’s ‘almost’ Radical Left, he was acknowledged to have failed badly as a Presidential debate moderator (except for Biden who he totally protected!), and so much else. Usually, these are not the qualities of a long-term stay!”

It is just the latest Trump salvo aimed at the lead anchor of “Fox News Sunday” and may have been sparked by Wallace’s Sunday morning show.

On Sunday, Wallace interviewed Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W. Va), who appears to be the lone Democrat supporting the filibuster and blocking a wave of radical legislation, including a major overhaul of voting laws opposed by Republicans.
Wallace challenged Manchin for opposing the filibuster, asking, “By taking it off the table, haven’t you empowered Republicans to be obstructionists?”

He later claimed Manchin was “naïve” in believing he could get bipartisan cooperation in the Senate from Republicans led by Mitch McConnell.

Wallace also interviewed Trump adviser Corey Lewandowski, claiming former President had done little to probe China for its role in the COVID virus.

After Wallace berated Trump for continuing to challenge the 2020 election results, he lambasted Lewandowski for defending him.

• Why go to work when one can be dependent on government
• This might Complete America’s “Transformation”

Most people are aware that the government’s ‘enhanced’ Unemployment payment of $300 per week tends to discourage folks from returning to work until the extra pay runs out. However, if you’re like us, you didn’t realize just how rich this additional pay to stay home is.

This Wall Street Journal editorial provides some detail that illustrates that this is an extremely powerful incentive to not attempt to take one of the many available jobs employers are offering. This is truly incredible AND insidious on the part of Democrats’ desire to accelerate the “transformation” of America into a ‘socialist/communist society’!      (dlh)

At the WSJ by The Editorial Board (bold our emphasis, additional commentary below):

A Good Worker Is Hard to Find

The subsidies for not working continue to hurt the labor market.

Broad vaccine distribution and the end of government lockdowns should result in soaring job creation. Yet the U.S. labor market turned in its second disappointing result in a row in May, according to Friday’s Labor Department report. That’s what happens when government pays Americans not to work.

Employers created 559,000 net new jobs in the month, which sounds great until you notice that 1.5 million fewer workers in May said they were unable to work because their employer closed or lost business due to the pandemic. Most of those workers should have found new jobs but didn’t.

The civilian labor force shrank in May by 53,000, and the number of men over age 20 who were employed fell by 8,000. The labor participation rate declined to 61.6%, even as the jobless rate fell to 5.8% from 6.1%.

All of this confirms that willing workers are getting increasingly hard for employers to find. Initial weekly jobless claims are falling, and this week dipped below 400,000 for the first time since the early days of the pandemic. But continuing claims have fallen little since March.

What gives? The Occam’s razor explanation is that in March the Biden Administration and Congress ladled out another mountain of cash to Americans—work not required. The extra $300 a week in enhanced jobless benefits is one problem, since millions of Americans can make more staying on the couch. This jobless pay isn’t subject to the payroll tax, unlike wage and salary income.

This is on top of regular jobless benefits, plus new or extended cash payments such as the $3,000 per child tax credit, additional ObamaCare subsidies, and the $1,400 checks to individuals. Again, no work required.

Economists Casey Mulligan, E.J. Antoni and Steve Moore estimate in a new study that in 21 states households that qualify can receive a maximum wage equivalent of $25 an hour in cash without working. In 19 states, the maximum benefit is the equivalent of $100,000 a year in salary for a family of four with two unemployed parents. Not working is a rational economic choice.

Democrats were warned this would happen but went ahead with the payments anyway. Our guess is they wanted to force employers to raise wages to compete with government—a de facto higher minimum wage. And wages are rising: 24% since March on an annual basis in leisure and hospitality. That’s good for workers, but it squeezes small businesses that are still struggling to recover from the pandemic. Some simply can’t afford to pay more.

It’s also worth noting that this is how a universal basic income is likely to work in practice. The threshold wage or salary required for workers, especially the young and unskilled, to enter the workforce would rise considerably. Add commuting and other costs as well as lost leisure, and more people will choose not to work. This means fewer opportunities to rise up the income ladder, and more dependence on government. Progressives probably intended this too.

The good news is that 25 states so far have said they’ll stop accepting the $300 enhanced jobless benefit this month or next. No states run by Democrats have done so, but no less than President Biden said Friday he’s comfortable if the subsidy for not working ends on Labor Day as scheduled. It’s long past time.

From The Federalist Papers.org

There was a time when even the staunchest liberals agreed with this sentiment. Conservatives disagree with Franklin D. Roosevelt on a lot of things, but he was absolutely right when he said,

The lessons of history, confirmed by the evidence immediately before me, show conclusively that continued dependence upon relief induces a spiritual disintegration fundamentally destructive to the national fiber. To dole our relief in this way is to administer a narcotic, a subtle destroyer of the human spirit. It is inimical to the dictates of a sound policy. It is in violation of the traditions of America. Work must be found for able-bodied but destitute workers.

Oh the Democrats want you to work alright — for government — on their terms — doing what they think worthy.  The COVID shutdowns  and continued subsidies are helpful in further acclimating current generations to the idea, nanny government, government as provider, government bureaucrats knowing best.  The welfare without work is transitory.  R Mall

Talking “mental health” while wearing a face mask!  (ref QC Times article and photo)

Grassley talks mental health funding, support during Davenport stop  

Politicians led around by public health experts have aggravated the mental and physical health difficulties experienced during the induced COVID terror. Isolation, acute economic problems, drug abuse, forgone treatments due to shutdowns and general induced hysteria, etc. They have promoted this not for a few weeks mind you, as Trump recommended, but for well over a year with the terror still being propagated, evidence the ridiculous masking and distancing still being exhibited by Senator Grassley. Masking and distancing are impediments to personal, mental, social and cultural  normalcy and health..  His exhibition is counterproductive fear-mongering whether he realizes it or not.

Now with reference to the public health experts, mental health division, lobbying for more money as related in the QC Times article, it would be great if Grassley called their profession to task of promoting human connections and normalcy rather than  isolation.  We believe immediate improvements would be possible in all age categories, to stop being part of the unhealthy culture terror of the Wuhan Flu /COVID ).

We do not know the best mix of limited funds but we have seen how these bureaucracies work and justify ever increasing growth and mission creep never being circumspect that maybe they contribute to the problem, that their profession has issues. We recognize that practitioners and patients are often victims of the politicians and theorists in their ranks.

• Truly evil or just a whinny weasel little bastard?

Revelations since Steve Deace and Todd Erzen’s book Faucian Bargain , thanks to FOIA demands of official emails (perhaps not even the most damning communications) of Center for Infectious Disease Control head Anthony Fauci “The Most Powerful and Dangerous Bureaucrat in American History” validate adding “and evil” to the subtitle’s summation.

The following links are to a variety of original sources aggregated mostly at the go-to site Liberty Daily. Other sources are also included.  There are many in just this batch, which perhaps will serve as one consolidated resource to start your investigation of Fauci and the devastation he has wrought. We doubt Fauci is being misunderstood in these critiques and exposes. But not all blame is his of course.  There are willful manipulative and opportunistic accomplices, Fauci perhaps one among equals of beelzebubs hovering in China, here and elsewhere.

The Books On COVID

Have you pre-ordered Dr. Fauci’s new book, “Expect the Unexpected: Ten Lessons on Truth, Service, and the Way Forward”? It’s reportedly only 80 pages long. But I am sure it will be required reading by America’s cultural and globalist elites. 

Not since Governor Andrew Cuomo shared his wisdom on the COVID-19 pandemic in “American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic” has there been such anticipation of a new book.

Cuomo committed one of the biggest blunders of the COVID-19 pandemic when he “seeded” New York’s nursing homes with COVID-19 infected patients. The elderly and frail predictably soon fell ill with the virus. Tens of thousands of them died. 

I can make a good case that Cuomo should be in prison. His nursing home blunder was criminally negligent. His cover-up of the truth was obstruction of justice.

Coincidentally, “truth” is one of the subjects of Fauci’s book. No wonder the book is only 80 pages long! 

Fauci repeatedly lied during the pandemic, most notably on the question of whether U.S. taxpayer money went to the Chinese communist Wuhan lab for “gain of function” research. Fauci played word games repeatedly in his congressional testimony.

Ultimately, the persistence of Senator Rand Paul and Senator John Kennedy, as well as the relentless work by Steve Bannon and Tucker Carlson among others, led to Fauci admitting U.S. funds did go to the Wuhan lab.  But, Dr. Fauci assures us that the Wuhan scientists have assured him that none of the funds were used for dangerous research.

I predict Dr. Fauci will be out before his book is. The Biden Administration will want to cut its losses. The 90-day investigation Biden has ordered into the origins of the Chinese communist virus will likely end with no firm conclusion.

Certainly, the Chinese government will never admit wrongdoing. In fact, they will continue promoting their relentless propaganda around the world claiming the virus originated in the U.S.

Meanwhile, we must never forget what we already know are the facts:

• After communist China knew COVID-19 was deadly and spreading from person to person they lied to the world about it.
• Meanwhile, they bought up massive quantities of other countries’ protective medical equipment, hoarding it for themselves.
• Finally, even though travel within China was severely restricted, the communists allowed hundreds of thousands of their citizens to travel abroad in the early months guaranteeing every nation would be impacted.

• Biden touts that 14%, or over 200 of his federal appointees are gay!  Hurray!!! (And, what are the rest?)
• How many Marxists? how many BLM members? how many Hamas supporters? how many hate America …???

BIDEN SWIPES TRUMP & RED STATES IN PRIDE MONTH MESSAGE.

In his proclamation, Biden referenced how states have “actively” targeted transgender youth through legislation as lawmakers crack down on athletes not competing in sports as their biological gender. He also touted how almost 14% of his 1,500 federal agency appointees identify as gay.

• Why is the concept of requiring personal identification racist in voting but not in other venues?

If you cannot figure out how to obtain a valid photo ID, you are either illegal or too stupid to vote intelligently

The Texas Democrats and our pitiful President, the “Scranton Scrapper,Joey Biden, have made their positions clear.

While we don’t agree with them, it must be conceded: If elements of the proposed Texas voting legislation is “Jim Crow” action, then let’s be consistent throughout American institutions. If such a thing as requiring that a person provide personal identification (and/or photo ID) to vote, then requiring personal identification to obtain any service or accommodation is also discriminatory and thus must be illegal in America.

Requiring personal identification to obtain medical care… doctor’s care of any kind must be discontinued.

Similarly such a requirement cannot be required to travel on airlines, get a hotel room, cash a check, be admitted to any political convention, to obtain a loan of any kind, for admission to many venues or events, to buy a car, rent a home, etc.

The concept of personal identification itself must be eliminated from the public forum!
