Rick Berman: gun for hire

Deutsch29 has an excellent blog up on the *cough* Center for Union Facts (CUF) running a full page ad in the NY Times. Upon closer examination, our old friend, Rick Berman, gun for hire, is behind CUF, among other organizations.   Note the letter from his son, David.  Pretty sad, eh?

AFT has a short video up on the 5 myths about school performance.

 

Mother Jones: Hypocrisy of Bill and Melinda Gates

Diane Ravitch has a blog up with a link to Mother Jones article on the hypocrisy of Bill (and Melinda) Gates.   It’s a really great read on how slick Billy operates.

Haiti in turmoil…still…

Haitians are protesting...but you wouldn’t know that listening to the nightly nooz…which has a morbid fixation on Obamacare and Obama’s popularity…because, you know, that is waaay more important than what is going on around the world, such as the First Nations protests or Haitian protests…or pretty much any protests around the world.

 

Suzuki showing support for First Nations

David Suzuki is supporting the Elsipogtog protests.  Thank you, David!

Meanwhile, the trucks arrive in convoy. Another pic here.

Harper spies on the peaceful group. Note that their own intelligence says they do not see them as a violent threat….yet, they show up in riot gear and tear gas the peaceful protestors. I’m glad to read that they are also protesting Enbridge, which is in my own backyard.  “We want to keep the people and environment safe…”  bwahaha, that’s rich.  If you really cared about the environment, you wouldn’t be building a pipeline to begin with.

(DN also covered this happening in the U.S. towards nonprofit groups that big business perceives as threats. Big Brother has arrived.)

Lastly, this pic of a smiling female Warrior.

The War against Teachers

Reclaim Reform has this somber post up on the worldwide attack on the teachers, the teacher’s unions, and free speech, as well. The last video (world wide) really got to me–treating these folks like animals!  Take note that World Bank demanded the austerity measures….

The knockout game

Well, I think society has reached an all time low.   I can’t believe the psychobabble that the area of the brain for excitement develops sooner than other areas of reasoning, therefore, these teenagers are not in control….what utter b.s.  Little children know right from wrong at an early age.  They know if they hit someone, there will be consequences.

These kids are sociopaths with no regard for others. Only a sociopath would enjoy hurting someone.

And they’re cowards, too, who pick on people unaware of the violence about to befall them, so they can’t fight back.

But, hey, when they see adults using drones…well…it’s hard to argue that we’re setting a good example.

 

Rep. Brower of Hawaii smashes the homeless… **edited

meager possessions.  (hat tip to Harsh Reality who, unfortunately, doesn’t care about the “moochers”). **see comments–apparently Harsh Reality does care…sarcasm doesn’t translate well on the ‘net.

I am beyond comprehension of this horrible person.  Who would do that?  What does he think he’s accomplishing?  As others pointed out in the comments, the person IS STILL HOMELESS after this self-righteous jerk destroys what little they have.

Just another compassionate conservative. Yep.  Probably takes taxpayer paid-for junkets to exotic locations, eating steak on taxpayer dollars, and probably gets free coffee and donuts on the taxpayer dime, too, while the homeless go hungry and scrape by with dumpster diving…

It’s really not a gender issue

This is spot on.  We’ve been told that men and women communicate differently….so that makes it harder to understand one another.  Women have been promoted as a group instead of a collection of individuals with independent thought.

News Flash:  we don’t all think alike!  As the cartoon illustrates…if you want to know what a woman is thinking, ASK HER.
