Parents in Grand Haven, Michigan recently got a glimpse of some of the books local schools are promoting to their kids, and they’re not impressed.
In recent months, several parents have spoken out at school board meetings about novels involving graphic gay sex scenes, child rape, and the normalization of sexual perversion in the LGBTQ lifestyle that are assigned to students as young as 10 years old.
The parents offered suggestions and assistance to help local officials weed through inappropriate content and devise a system for flagging potentially offensive materials parents should know about.
But so far, district leaders have largely ignored the issue by shifting the burden of censoring school libraries to parents, as liberal religious figures in the community malign their concerned neighbors as misinformed bigots.
Jennifer Lee Stuppy, mother of a sixth-grader at Lakeshore Middle School, explained to board members last month that she reviewed a seven-page list of LGBTQ books, including some with sexually explicit content warnings, sent to parents in December. Stuppy highlighted excerpts from one of the books, “One Man Guy” by Michael Barakiva.
“When I got the book, I was stunned by what I read thinking about kids ages 10 and 11 reading this book,” Stuppy said. “The book is about a 14 year old boy, Alek, and his romantic encounter with an older sexually experienced, 17-year-old Ethan. Ethan details a sexual relationship he had with a college student who lived in his home when he was only 15 years old himself. Now it’s a few years later and an older, sexually experienced, Ethan is pursuing 14 year old Alek. – READ MORE

truepundit--2020-02-17--Schlichter: Burn Down the DOJ and Start Over

I want you to tell me , without bursting into laughter , that I am still supposed to respect our federal law enforcement institutions .
I keep hearing about these wonderful keepers of norms and rules and stuff deserve our awe , and then I see the tawdry , self-serving and scummy way they operate , and gee – there ’ s a disconnect .
A big one .
If the price of our society is submitting to these corrupt and incompetent people of garbage , well , then I say burn it all down .
That ’ s the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ level it and start over .
Let ’ s review how our guardians of justice have covered themselves in glory in recent days .
And by “ glory , ” I mean “ Scat Francisco sidewalk sauce.
” The scumbag Democrat donors remaining in the Mueller lynch mob decided that Roger Stone , an absolutely harmless gadfly whose real crime was being aligned with Donald Trump and therefore with you , should be sent away for seven to nine years for “ crimes ” that the Department of Injustice promptly gave a pass @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This is the same institution that also gave a pass to Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit , Comey the Looming Doofus , and those fugly FBI sexting twins .
You would not get a pass .
Then , if possible , it got worse as the garbage Stone conviction was revealed to have been obtained with an anti-Trump Democrat activist as the jury foreperson .
Think about that – an active partisan on the jury .
The judge – wan na guess who appointed her ?
– refused to dump this partisan off the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ candidate for office could be neutral and how dare you question the integrity of the system harrumph harrumph harrumph .
Please tell me more about rules and norms .
Stone ’ s lawyers are seeking a new trial , but they won ’ t get one because there is manifestly a dual-track system of “ justice ” and there will be a bunch of excuses and reasons and exclamations of “ How dare you question the system ’ s integrity !
” and , in the end , this manifest injustice will be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ establishment is not an aberration .
It is an objective .
I could continue about Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn and that disgraceful persecution , and others , but this is a column and not a book .
Now , in a system where the kind of integrity our garbage federal law enforcement apparatus likes to pretend it possesses actually existed , Roger Stone ’ s lawyers would have arrived at federal court , new trial motion in hand , only to find the outraged prosecutors already there demanding – demanding – that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their own motion .
See , because the goal of the Department of Justice is justice , and…and…and…HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !
Sometimes I crack myself up .
I ’ m hilarious .
I like Bill Barr .
I think he wants to do the right thing .
But he needs to spare us the clichés about the hard-working and honest DOJ staff because that ’ s not what we see .
I trust Barr , but I trust my eyes more , and all I see issuing from his Department is a flow of raw @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me “ But they convicted Avenatti !
” because Avenatti was not a friend to the establishment .
He was a threat , an uppity outsider who smarmed his way into position to potentially cut in the line for power .
Yeah , the Democrats were totally broken up for him to be taken out .
I ’ d have fired the Mueller hind-sniffs who tried to set-up the president by recommending the seven-to-nine year stretch .
Alternatively , I ’ d fire them just for that recommendation .
It was absolute Schiff @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democrat constituents regularly coast out of court with much less time .
Wait , I thought we had a non-violent convict incarceration crisis , but I guess that doesn ’ t apply to political crimes , the most serious crimes of all apparently .
No , they won ’ t get fired .
They will keep on ruining lives .
They have failed to meet the minimum standards for integrity .
You owe them nothing , not obedience , respect , or assistance .
Don ’ t give them any .
You have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them if they come asking you questions .
You ’ re a fool to do so – they seek to harm you , so you should protect yourself .
Stone is where he is because he foolishly chose to testify .
When a federal law enforcement asks you anything , repeat after me : “ I invoke my right to remain silent .
Please stop asking me questions .
I want my lawyer.
” “ Uh , I was just asking you if there ’ s a coffee shop around here.
” “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

I want you to tell me, without bursting into laughter, that I am still supposed to respect our federal law enforcement institutions. I keep hearing about these wonderful keepers of norms and rules and stuff deserve our awe, and then I see the tawdry, self-serving and scummy way they operate, and gee – there’s a disconnect. A big one. If the price of our society is submitting to these corrupt and incompetent people of garbage, well, then I say burn it all down.
That’s the only way to save it: to level it and start over.
Let’s review how our guardians of justice have covered themselves in glory in recent days. And by “glory,” I mean “Scat Francisco sidewalk sauce.”
The scumbag Democrat donors remaining in the Mueller lynch mob decided that Roger Stone, an absolutely harmless gadfly whose real crime was being aligned with Donald Trump and therefore with you, should be sent away for seven to nine years for “crimes” that the Department of Injustice promptly gave a pass on to the loathsome Andrew McCabe. This is the same institution that also gave a pass to Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit, Comey the Looming Doofus, and those fugly FBI sexting twins.
You would not get a pass.
Then, if possible, it got worse as the garbage Stone conviction was revealed to have been obtained with an anti-Trump Democrat activist as the jury foreperson. Think about that – an active partisan on the jury. The judge – wanna guess who appointed her? – refused to dump this partisan off the jury because of course, a Democrat candidate for office could be neutral and how dare you question the integrity of the system harrumph harrumph harrumph.
Please tell me more about rules and norms.
Stone’s lawyers are seeking a new trial, but they won’t get one because there is manifestly a dual-track system of “justice” and there will be a bunch of excuses and reasons and exclamations of “How dare you question the system’s integrity!” and, in the end, this manifest injustice will be okay because railroading political enemies of the establishment is not an aberration. It is an objective.
I could continue about Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn and that disgraceful persecution, and others, but this is a column and not a book.
Now, in a system where the kind of integrity our garbage federal law enforcement apparatus likes to pretend it possesses actually existed, Roger Stone’s lawyers would have arrived at federal court, new trial motion in hand, only to find the outraged prosecutors already there demanding – demanding – that the court vacate this fatally flawed conviction on their own motion. See, because the goal of the Department of Justice is justice, and…and…and…HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Sometimes I crack myself up. I’m hilarious.
I like Bill Barr. I think he wants to do the right thing. But he needs to spare us the clichés about the hard-working and honest DOJ staff because that’s not what we see. I trust Barr, but I trust my eyes more, and all I see issuing from his Department is a flow of raw sewage. And don’t tell me “But they convicted Avenatti!” because Avenatti was not a friend to the establishment. He was a threat, an uppity outsider who smarmed his way into position to potentially cut in the line for power. Yeah, the Democrats were totally broken up for him to be taken out.
I’d have fired the Mueller hind-sniffs who tried to set-up the president by recommending the seven-to-nine year stretch. Alternatively, I’d fire them just for that recommendation. It was absolute Schiff when rapists, thugs, and other Democrat constituents regularly coast out of court with much less time. Wait, I thought we had a non-violent convict incarceration crisis, but I guess that doesn’t apply to political crimes, the most serious crimes of all apparently. No, they won’t get fired. They will keep on ruining lives.
They have failed to meet the minimum standards for integrity. You owe them nothing, not obedience, respect, or assistance. Don’t give them any.
You have no reason to cooperate with any of them if they come asking you questions. You’re a fool to do so – they seek to harm you, so you should protect yourself. Stone is where he is because he foolishly chose to testify.
When a federal law enforcement asks you anything, repeat after me:
“I invoke my right to remain silent. Please stop asking me questions. I want my lawyer.”
“Uh, I was just asking you if there’s a coffee shop around here.”
“I invoke my right to remain silent. Please stop asking me questions. I want my lawyer.”
And when you are in court on a jury, and the prosecutor attempts to stand in the golden glow of the United States of America, remember what the prosecutors did to innocent people for daring to dissent and give that lawyer no credit or benefit of the doubt. Listen closely and carefully to the accused. There was a time when an accused claiming he was framed by the feds could be laughed off; now, you should consider it. Ask Ted Stevens – oh wait, he died after a corrupt conviction. Do not hesitate to acquit, because the Department of Justice has proven itself corrupt and dishonest.
“But, but, but, many hard-working, honest blah blah blah blah….”
Save it. READ MORE:

In 2011, two years into his father’s term as vice president, Hunter Biden was appointed by the Truman National Security Project, a left-leaning foreign policy network, to its board of directors. The younger Biden was, at the time, one of just six members of the governing board, where he served alongside the organization’s founder and CEO, Rachel Kleinfeld, and a handful of corporate leaders. He had no obvious qualifications for the position.
As the Truman Project expanded, Democratic national security heavyweights including Jake Sullivan, Hillary Clinton’s foreign policy guru who ran the Department of Policy Planning during her tenure at Foggy Bottom; Matthew Spence, a Defense Department veteran who served as a senior aide to Obama national security adviser Tom Donilon; and Steve Israel, the former Democratic congressman and head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, eventually joined Biden on the board.
A cached version of the organization’s website shows that Biden rose to the position of vice chairman of the board, serving there until at least March of 2019. It is not clear precisely when—or why—Biden stepped down from the board, and the Truman Project did not respond to requests for comment. But during his tenure on the board, according to the New Yorker, he was in and out of drug rehabilitation facilities several times and, in 2014, joined the board of the Ukrainian gas giant Burisma and was discharged from the U.S. Navy after he failed a drug test.

Billionaire Mike Bloomberg’s presidential campaign on Saturday downplayed a report that he is considering 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton as his pick for vice president.
The Drudge Report, citing a source close to Bloomberg’s campaign, reported that Clinton was under consideration after internal polling found that a Bloomberg-Clinton ticket would be a “formidable force.”
The conservative news aggregator, which came to prominence in the 90s for first reporting the Monica Lewinsky scandal, reported that Bloomberg would consider changing his residence to a home he owns in Colorado or Florida, “since the electoral college makes it hard for a POTUS and VPOTUS from the same state.”
But the Bloomberg campaign quickly tamped down that report but fell short of denying it outright.
“We are focused on the primary and the debate, not VP speculation,” Bloomberg communication director Jason Schechter said in a statement.
A source familiar with Clinton’s thinking said the former Secretary of State hasn’t closed the door on politics and would seriously consider joining a VP ticket.
“She wants back in,” the source told Fox News.
The spotlight has increased on Bloomberg in recent days as he has shifted up the polls. He entered the race late — and is skipping the Iowa caucuses, New Hampshire primary, Nevada caucuses, and South Carolina primary — the four early voting states that kick off the nominating calendar in order to focus on the Super Tuesday states in March. – READ MORE
