3. The Westerville City Schools District – school board race, levy issue. If you live in Delaware County and are in the Westerville City Schools District (WCSD is in both Franklin and Delaware Counties), please read the post below from Concerned Citizens of Westerville which discusses the upcoming income tax levy. I have also included a link to an article about the candidates for the school board.
4. Let’s not let what is happening in Europe happen in the U.S. Tribal Fundamentalist Islam is not compatible with the Judeo-Christian values of Western Civilization. As a side note, Minneapolis has the largest U.S. Somali population. Columbus, Ohio comes in at #2. Wonder how much fraud is going on with social programs involving the Somali community in Columbus? Hmm……
It is time to pray and ask God to guide us in countering the wickedness and evil currently engulfing our country.
Today’s themes are A. the violence that is encouraged and sanctioned by the Marxist members of the Democrat Party and B. the deception perpetrated by the Marxist faction of the Democrat Party which is amplified by the compliant MSM.
1. Jay Jones, candidate for the State of Virginia Attorney General in next month’s general election, has been at the center of an “October Surprise” the last few days. Jones, a Democrat, exchanged text messages with a state Republican three years ago in which he fantasized about murdering the then Virginia House Speaker and stated he wished to see the speaker’s children die in their mother’s arms. He believed that murder was the only way to get Republicans to see and comply with the Democrat position. In addition, the same year the vile text messages were sent, Mr. Jones was convicted of driving recklessly having been clocked at 116 mph. As is so often the case with politicians, he received a sweet heart deal and served no jail time but was ordered to perform community service. Half of his community service hours were spent working on his political campaign. Virginia U.S. Senator Tim Kaine’s opinion sums up the Democrat morality play. Although Senator Kaine finds Jay Jones’ text messages “completely indefensible,” Senator Kaine is going to continue his support of Jay Jones for Virginia Attorney General because the senator has known Mr. Jones for over 25 years and the text messages were “out of character for him.” I wonder if Senator Kaine would be so supportive if there was enough time left to get another Democrat on the ballot.
2. Democrat run Portland, Oregon and Chicago, Illinois. Parts of Portland and Chicago are third world hell holes because Democrats let Antifa and other domestic terrorist groups run wild. If the Marxists weren’t all up in arms about immigration and ICE, then they would just glom on to some other “orange man bad” outrage – remember the 2020 Summer of Love? Governor Kotek of Oregon is blaming anyone physically assaulted by protestors for “antagonizing” the Leftist goon squads and Governor Pritzker is blaming ICE for “just picking up brown and black people.” A blubber butt, white, male, billionaire Democrat Governor talking brown and black makes me smirk at the man’s duplicity.
3. Democrat deceitful shenanigans regarding the shutdown. The Democrats are currently reminding Republicans that undocumented illegal immigrants are not nor have they ever been eligible to receive federal subsidies. This is true. What the Democrats have wily neglected to inform the American taxpayers of is that the Biden autopen signed a multitude of executive orders that bypassed congress and left the taxpayer on the hook by administratively moving individuals who entered the country illegally from an undocumented and thus “illegally present” status to a “legally present” status by granting various types of immigrant parole. The One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) removed roughly 2.8 million illegal aliens from executive fiat parole status and this is one of the reasons the Democrats won’t sign on to a clean CR. The Democrats want their bill because they want to protect the “legally present” status of the Biden Administration parolees. The Democrat spending bill rescinds subtitle B in Title 7 of the OBBB. Democrats are quite artful magicians in their attempts to fool the American public.
4. On a positive note, Kash Patel cut FBI ties with the Southern Poverty Law Center. Also, Hung Cao was confirmed by the U.S. Senate last week as the U.S. Navy Undersecretary. Undersecretary Cao ran against Tim Kaine last year for a Virginia U.S. Senate seat.
I have two themes running in today’s post. Number 1: if you elect stupid ideologues, you can expect stupid ideology driven results. Number 2: If you support individuals with good old common sense, then you can expect results that echo common sense.
1. The Marxist Democratic Party now owns the current government shutdown.
2. Des Moines, Iowa is Iowa’s largest city and has the state’s largest school district. Although the state is often considered a conservative bastion, it is not. Marxists have been on the move for decades and own the educational establishment. The scandal going on with the Des Moines, Iowa School District is as follows. Last week, ICE arrested the now former superintendent of the district, Dr. Ian Roberts. Agents found a hunting knife, loaded hand gun, and $3,000 cash in Dr. Roberts vehicle after a chase. Dr. Roberts was born in Guyana, South America and last entered the U.S. legally in 1999 on a student visa. Dr. Roberts has not had a valid work authorization since 2020. In May 2024, Dr. Roberts was a no show for his final immigration hearing and a deportation order was handed down. In 2023, the Des Moines School District put out a nationwide search for a superintendent. Dr. Roberts was hired and obtained a license for the job from the Iowa Board of Educational Examiners before his July 2023 start date. Currently, the entertainment is in watching everybody point the finger at everyone else for failure to vet Dr. Roberts properly. The Chair of the Des Moines School Board, Jackie Norris, who is running on the Democratic Ticket for an Iowa U.S. Senate seat next year, has been out and about asking the public to tone down the rhetoric while bloviating about radical empathy and restorative justice. Jackie is a true Woketopia warrior. Additionally, illegal alien Dr. Ian Roberts has been a registered Democratic voter in the State of Maryland since 2012. Didn’t Democrats tell us illegal aliens never vote in federal U.S. elections? Yet again, another conspiracy theory has been proven true.
3. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth rocks. He gathered his top dogs together in D.C. this week and told them how things are. Common sense rules the military. There is now ONE standard for combat readiness and the standard applies equally to everyone. If a woman can perform the physical duties required for combat readiness, then she is one of the team. If she cannot, then she will be reassigned. It’s as simple as that.
4. Gotta love the State of Oklahoma. The Oklahoma State Police partnered with ICE last month conducing an Operation Guardian sweep along Interstate 40 in western Oklahoma. More than 120 illegal aliens were caught driving 18 wheelers with CDL’s issued by sanctuary states. The State of New York managed to issue a CDL with “no name given” inscribed on the line where a name should have appeared.
Update to Monday’s post – Senator Dick Durbin has declined to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award from Cardinal Cupich of the Archdiocese of Chicago at a November fundraising event. The award was causing consternation among both Catholic priests and laity as Senator Durbin is an ardent supporter of abortion. p2d
3. And now for an “are you yanking my chain?” moment involving the Catholic Church. Cardinal Blasé Cupich of the Archdiocese of Chicago announced that Illinois Senator Dick Durbin will be the recipient of a life time achievement award for his immigration advocacy at a November fundraiser for the archdiocese’s immigration ministry. Oh, I could go on, and on, and on about Catholic Charities’ role in immigration and human trafficking, but today’s discussion is about abortion. Dick Durbin is a professed Catholic, yet he has NOT used his political perch to advocate for the sanctity of life. Senator Durbin’s voting record is 100% pro-choice/pro-abortion. The Catholic Church is exceptionally clear on its stance on abortion and on the rules for what excludes someone from “good deeds” public recognition. It appears that if you reach U.S. national political status as a U.S. Senator, the rules do not apply to you. Several priests in the U.S. Catholic Church’s hierarchy have voiced their displeasure at Durbin being publicly honored because of his pro-abortion stance and have asked Cardinal Cupich to prayerfully reconsider his decision. I believe that those who hold public office should be held to a higher, not lesser, standard as they serve as role models for the general public. What is the message that Cardinal Cupich is conveying to his flock? Would be curious to know if Pope Leo has an opinion.
1. It was pure joy for this old dog to watch Trump drop a Truth bomb on the U.N. General Assembly. For decades, I have been scratching my fleas while wondering why we still maintain membership in this feckless organization. The U.N. occupies prime real estate along the East River in midtown Manhattan. It is time to put the property to better use. I am sure the escalator, teleprompter, and microphone incidents were just cowinkiedinks.
4. Living in Columbus, Ohio, I did not have the pleasure of watching Jimmy Kimmel at 11:35 p.m. Tuesday night. Sinclair Broadcasting is responsible for airing ABC, Fox, and The CW in Columbus. Sinclair and Nexstar have not put Jimmy back in their lineup… yet. This is not a free speech issue. This is a market issue. Follow the money. Columbus, Ohio is not nearly as left leaning as NYC or Commiefornia. Jimmy Kimmel’s ratings were in the toilet before he let his politics descend him into the depths of extreme pride and stupidity. I expect nothing less than what Jimmy Kimmel said from a public Libtard who plies his trade on ABC, NBC, CBS, or PBS. However; I do hold Fox to a higher standard. If Jimmy Kimmel were ever to rear his ugly head on ABC in Columbus, Ohio again, then I would be inclined not to watch much of what’s on channel 28 (Fox) nor support Sinclair’s advertising money stream.
The Charlie Kirk memorial on Sunday was inspiring. Only God could have pulled off such an event that included the U.S. President, U.S. Vice President, and members of the President’s Cabinet. For over six hours, the event was Christ centered and the King of kings and Lord of lords was honored and praised. I could have never imagined I would have ever witnessed an Altar Call at a large public gathering where high ranking politicians were on the event schedule. Erika Kirk forgiving the young man who murdered her husband was the Holy Spirit on the move showing us how we should be living our lives. We have been commanded to love and forgive others. Love and forgiveness are not for the benefit of others but a gift from God that allows us to unburden our hearts so that we can surrender ourselves completely to God. Love and forgiveness are not about justice. Justice will be served by God and the State of Utah.
