STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga. – DeKalb County School District Superintendent Stephen Green believes diversity makes America stronger, and by that measure the school district is a powerhouse.

Green issued a statement recently to highlight diversity in the district and urge compassion for its immigrant and refugee students, which come from dozens of different countries and speak dozens of different languages, The Champion Newspaper reports.

“We are hearing a lot of conversation right now, some of it extreme, about how residents from originally outside our country should be treated,” Green wrote. “We have 102,000 students here. They come from more than 180 countries, and they speak 140 languages. We value them; we love them and we respect what their presence here says about the goodness and generosity of America – our diversity is our strength.”

Seriously? How many terps does the DeKalb County School System employ? Do the kids get interpreters during recess on the playground? Do the morning announcements finish up around 1130?

The statement, issued Jan. 30, comes after two teachers were removed from their posts at Cross Keys High School for allegedly making disparaging remarks against illegal immigrant students.

Both teachers were removed from their classrooms on Nov. 10 as district officials launched investigations into claims they allegedly made about illegal immigrants in the wake of Donald Trump’s historic election win on Nov. 8, the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Meanwhile, Payal Modi  sits at home on paid administrative leave after bringing a water “pistol” to school and staging a mock assassination of President Trump. I seem to recall a child with ADHD was suspended for making a “meanie gun” out of a pop tart.

Superintendent Green, meanwhile, is urging school officials to show love to local illegal immigrants to help them assimilate into the school district.

“Imagine how hard it is to come to a new country and start life over without familiar ties to family, culture or language,” he said. “DeKalb schools give an anchor to our new citizens. Our role as school leaders is to help learning in our schools to become love – love for a new place, a new way of life and, ultimately, for one another.”

How about showing some love for American citizens by getting in line and applying for citizenship? Help illegal aliens assimilate? Does Stephen Green realize what he is asking? Harboring illegal aliens? Teaching our children that laws are irrelevant? Irrational diversity has made us hypocrites and weak.

We charge parents with assault for spanking their children while we applaud the parents of illegals who catapult their children over our fences. Children’s Services will remove an American child from the home if they don’t have a bedroom, but allow six illegal families with ten children cram into a two bedroom apartment. We provide “free” lunch to starving children in the public school system yet don’t prosecute the parents for child abuse for not feeding their children, despite receiving hundreds of dollars in monthly food stamp benefits. Something has to give, the system is broken.

Didn’t someone say that elections have consequences?

 

140 student languages in suburban Georgia school district

 

Is that guy seriously throwing down some gang signs?

Since 9/11, 72 individuals from the seven mostly Muslim countries covered by President Trump’s “extreme vetting” executive order have been convicted of terrorism, bolstering the administration’s immigration ban.

No women and children in this image.

According to a report out Saturday, at least 17 claimed to be refugees from those nations, three came in as “students,” and 25 eventually became U.S. citizens.

The Center for Immigration Studies calculated the numbers of convicted terrorists from the Trump Seven:

— Somalia: 20

— Yemen: 19

— Iraq: 19

— Syria: 7

— Iran: 4

— Libya: 2

— Sudan: 1

No women and children in this image either.

The Center’s director of policy studies, Jessica M. Vaughan, based her blockbuster report on a 2016 report from the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest, then chaired by new Attorney General Jeff Sessions, that report found that 380 out of 580 people convicted in terror cases since 9/11 were foreign-born.

She received further information on many in the report to conclude that 72 of those convicted of terrorism come from the seven nations target by Trump.

From her report seen here:

These immigrant terrorists lived in at least 16 different states, with the largest number from the terror-associated countries living in New York (10), Minnesota (8), California (8), and Michigan (6). Ironically, Minnesota was one of the states suing to block Trump’s order to pause entries from the terror-associated countries, claiming it harmed the state. At least two of the terrorists were living in Washington, which joined with Minnesota in the lawsuit to block the order.

Pretty sure there are no women and children in this image either.

Thirty-three of the 72 individuals from the seven terror-associated countries were convicted of very serious terror-related crimes, and were sentenced to at least three years imprisonment. The crimes included use of a weapon of mass destruction, conspiracy to commit a terror act, material support of a terrorist or terror group, international money laundering conspiracy, possession of explosives or missiles, and unlawful possession of a machine gun.

In dismissing the Trump executive order, San Francisco’s Ninth Circuit court of appeals said, “The government has pointed to no evidence…that any alien from any of the countries named in the order has perpetrated a terrorist attack in the United States.”

Proponents of the president’s ban said that Vaughan’s findings should provide Justice with the evidence they need to win their case.

Wait, bingo! I see two toddlers and a teenage boy on a Galaxy S7. Open the gates!

Nancy Pelosi’s vineyard digs could accommodate many refugees.

President Trump’s vetting order is clearly legal under the provisions of section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which says that the president can suspend the entry of any alien or group of aliens if he finds it to be detrimental to the national interest. He should not have to provide any more justification than was already presented in the order, but if judges demand more reasons, here are 72.

Europe is suffering the consequences of their open border policy by allowing thousands to pour in. They have been attacked from within and finally realize that it was a bad decision. Some European nations are now compensating “refugees” to leave while we pay them to stay. The United States has also experienced terror attacks from sea to shining sea. Our new President, Donald Trump is attempting to temporarily pause entry to those that wish to enter our country from nations that have historically sponsored terror and it is clearly legal for him to do so. The Nutty Ninth clearly made a political ruling, ignoring the fact that there have been terror attacks on American soil by citizens of countries listed in the Executive Order.

Why would any American not want their President to do everything in his power to protect them?

Report: 72 convicted of terrorism from ‘Trump 7’ mostly Muslim countries

The University of California, Berkeley’s Chancellor and chief of police both refused to acknowledge any wrongdoing, or even mistakes, in their response to last week’s riots on campus.

Chancellor Nicholas Dirks defended his school’s response to the violent riots, arguing that they in no way hurt the prestigious university’s reputation of protecting First Amendment rights on campus.

Diversity is written all over that banner of mostly un-hooded folks.

“I don’t think we’ve been tarnished at all. In fact, I have been hearing from people across the country that we have indeed honored our tradition and that we have been exemplary in terms of our commitment to freedom of speech,” Dirks explained, criticizing “representations of what happened here” that he feels disregarded or misrepresented the facts to portray Berkeley as a hostile environment for free speech.

Threats of violence is the pillar of our democracy and very foundation of free speech according to Berkeleyism.

“There are lots of representations of what happened here that I think are being driven by political agendas that have no particular regard for the evidence that is part of this or any of the facts or truth that surrounds it,” he asserted.

Is that a hammer and sickle?

Throughout the interview, both Dirks and UC Berkeley Police Department Chief Margo Bennett refused to place any blame on the school for “not doing enough to enable the speech to happen,” nor for preventing rioters from forcing its cancellation.

Bennett then defended the apparent passivity of her officers during the riot, insisting that confronting the vandals would only have made the situation more volatile.

Law enforcement officers following orders.

“I don’t think so, I mean certainly we can be criticized for a lot of things,” Bennett said in response to whether or not she had made any errors in judgement. “I don’t believe it was the wrong thing, because had we gone out there, two things would have happened: The black bloc group would have gotten energized by our presence, and number two they would have turned around and started attacking our police, which means our use of force would have escalated. I believe we made the right decision.”

Law enforcement officers in riot gear protect the UC Regents while students protest tuition increases in March 2015, 30 students attended the protest.

Hazmat specialists clean up toxic fuel and burnt metal. Students for a Greener Berkeley were not available for comment.

Ironically, the Free Speech Movement that began on the campus of UC Berkeley in 1964 was in protest of the universities ban on on-campus political activities in addition to other civil rights issues. Chancellor Nicholas Dirks, the guy who doesn’t understand budgets and sexual harassment laws, was insulated by the riots behind a new $700,000 security fence at his campus residence. He describes UC Berkeley’s support and simultaneous condemnation of the Berkeley College Republicans right to host the event in the “Chancellor’s message on campus appearance by Milo Yiannopoulos” here. Mario “I am not a communist” Savio was seen rolling over in his grave while Jack “Don’t trust anybody over 30” Weinberg was unavailable for comment.

Heckler’s veto, absolutely.

Berkeley defends police passivity during anti-free speech riot

“Maxine Waters is continuing to bang the drums of impeachment, even though she has yet to accuse President Trump of breaking the law.

But her statement today on the topic may be the most embarrassingly ridiculous yet.

Speaking to reporters with other House Democrats today, Waters attempted to build the case for why Democrats “may” push for impeachment.

“How can a president who is acting the manner he is acting — whether he’s talking about the travel ban, the way he’s targeted Muslims, or whether he’s talking about his relationship to (Vladimir) Putin and the Kremlin and knowing that they have hacked our (Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee) and the (Democratic National Committee),” she said.

But then the already wobbly wheels began falling off Waters’ rhetoric wagon.

“And knowing that he’s responsible for supplying the bombs that killed innocent children and families in, um, in, um,” she said, forgetting the name before someone behind her murmured, “Aleppo.”

“Yeah, in Aleppo,” she said.

Waters continued, “And the fact that he is wrapping his arms around Putin while Putin is continuing to advance into Korea.”

Korea, Crimea, what’s the difference, besides spellings, cultures and continents?

Referring to Trump, she said, “I think he’s leading himself into that kind of position where folks will begin to ask, ‘What are we going to do?’ and the answer’s going to be, ‘Eventually, we’ve got to do something about him.’”

Nancy Pelosi immediately distanced herself from the comments.”

 

Maxine Waters is just another career politician coughing up talking points in front of the camera. Confusion does not even describe her selfish, incoherent rant in this video. Facts? No way, who needs them. Preparation? You bet not. Specific purpose or central idea? Huh, what’s that?

Maxine Waters should take a long vacation on Guam with Gary Johnson and Hank Johnson.

The left continues to self-destruct and fails to realize how idiotic these soapbox events and temper tantrums are. As for me, I take pleasure in watching them pout like little girls and blame the nuclear option on global warming and George W. Bush.

I can assure you that after Vlad read about Maxine’s accusation of a Korean incursion by Russia, he calmly said: Khuyesos.

CONFUSION: Maxine Waters claims Putin ‘continuing to advance into Korea’

 

 

 

 

Apparently Mexico wants to take their NAFTA toys, go home and blame the United States on their abysmal existence.

“The U.S. trade deficit with Mexico, he notes, has increased. Mexico “has out negotiated us and beat us to a pulp through our past leaders,” he said on Jan. 27. “They’ve made us look foolish.” On Thursday, he told U.S. lawmakers he is aiming to “kick-start” the Nafta renegotiation process.”

President Trump’s intentions to renegotiate NAFTA, crack down on illegal immigration and build the much needed border wall has sent Mexico into a Berkeley induced pitty party. They even visited the way-back machine when Porfirio Díaz famously said: “Poor Mexico, so far from God and so close to the United States.”

“This is not a negotiating strategy,” Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray told a Mexican broadcaster. “This is a limit we are not going to cross because it’s about Mexican dignity.”

“Just as Mexico was beginning to view itself more as North American than Latin American, it feels to many in Mexico as if the U.S. wants to kick it out of the neighborhood. Mr. Trump’s emphasis on building a wall—a fence already exists along much of the border—sends a pointed message to Mexicans, says Lorenzo Meyer, a leading Mexican historian.”

“The idea, which had been accepted in Mexico, that we were a part of—a poor part of, but part of—North America has been destroyed,” says Mr. Meyer. “Trump is saying, we have changed the definition of who belongs in North America, and it’s just us and Canada.”

Here are my tears….wait for it….never mind.

NAFTA was doomed from the start and needs to be renegotiated or broken. Remind me of the net overall effect NAFTA has had on the United States economy?

 

I barely made it through the article without choking on my coffee. Enjoy, I guess.
