School Board Discusses Warrantless Searches on Homeschool Families

Mon, 2024-03-11 20:00 +0000

Homeschooling is this awful, terrible thing where parents and guardians remove children from the failed public school experiment and (drumroll) teach them how to read and do math. A State’s AG has suggested allowing unannounced warrantless searches of homeschoolers… in the name of public safety.

We don’t have the entire conversation (below), but this clip of the Michigan State Board of Education discussing the question is enlightening. The matter at hand appears to be an issue with kids in foster care who are not in public schools, presumably homeschooled, and potentially subject to …safety issues or abuse. The idea is that either the kids or the homeschools need to register so they can be randomly audited or (my words) swatted if the state receives a complaint that there may be abuse occuring.

In other words, the State Justice Department wants to run random warrantless raids against anyone with kids at home who are not attending public schools, probably at the behest of teachers’ unions and the Democrat politicians they bought.

The board members who speak are not only clearly against this idea but for all the right reasons.

The first speaker sets up the discussion and enumerates several problems with the idea. The last (the clip is just under 8 minutes) knocks that pitch out of the park, which is not what I expected when the clip landed in my digital lap.

A few teasers.

  • ‘Public Education is not safer than homeschooling.
  • Public education safety needs a complete overhaul before we can claim that homeschooling leaves students more vulnerable.
  • They are making specific choices to not be in public education so that they can access a curriculum we are not choosing to administer to them…and there’s nothing wrong with that.

As you watch it, ask yourself if the idea of warrantless searches of homeschools is something that could or does happen in your state and whether your school board(s) would condone it. And if it did, what would you be prepared to do about that?

Note: There is a meme circulating that has the warning (warrantless searches) without any of the good stuff from the actual video circulating the internet).

Note 2: I wrote this long before I saw the meme.

Here’s the clip.

!function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u359331"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");

Two Dubious “Extremely Rare Occurrences” in Windham’s Elections

Mon, 2024-03-11 18:00 +0000

The Windham Incident on November 3, 2020 that produced the largest numerical discrepancy in the history of NH between an election day result and a subsequent recount exposed over a hundred violations of election laws and procedures by Windham’s election officials.

Since then, Windham’s election officials have continued to violate election laws and procedures in the subsequent federal election cycles. Those violations are identified in multiple reports that were written by the NH AG, NH SOS, the NH Deputy SOS and NH Assistant SOS.

Official Response 2022 Complaint
2024 Windham Election Monitor Report – January 23, 2024 Presidential Primary

Related: BREAKING: NH AG ADMITS to ANOTHER Seriously Flawed Election In Windham

But instead of taking responsibility, Windham’s election officials and their friends falsely claim they are the victims of baseless attacks, and counter with nasty character assassination attacks against those who simply want accurate elections that follow the laws.

The inability of Windham’s election officials to follow election laws during the November 3, 2020 election led to the dubious distinction of having an election monitor appointed for the September 13, 2022 primary. According to Secretary of State William Gardner, “the appointment of an election monitor to oversee an election in this state is an extremely rare occurrence.”

The violations of election laws in that election led to yet another election monitor appointed for the January 23, 2024 presidential primary election.

With the continued inability of Windham’s election officials to follow election laws in subsequent elections, Windham has now had an unprecedented two “extremely rare occurrences” by having election monitors appointed in two consecutive federal election cycles – and Windham’s election officials still failed to follow election laws and procedures in both of those elections.

The Government Integrity Project (www.gipamerica.org) put together three full page ads (here, here and here) and a direct mailer to inform Windham voters of the recurring failures of Windham’s election officials as identified in the multiple reports mentioned above. Election officials and their friends falsely call them lies and a smear campaign. Honest people know it’s the truth.

Every Windham voter should download and read the reports written by NH’s highest ranking law and election officials regarding Windham’s elections in 2020, 2022 and 2024 from the NH AG’s and SOS’s offices and decide for themselves who is telling the truth… and then cast an informed vote.

MONDAY MEMES

Mon, 2024-03-11 16:00 +0000

And that downer, Monday, makes an appearance again.  Hope these lift you up!

Take heart – there will be both a Wednesday and Friday Edition.  Last week’s Friday Edition.

Remember, ridicule and mockery are effective weapons:

  1. Ridicule cannot easily be fought
  2. Ridicule makes the enemy angry, and angry people make mistakes
  3. For those in the “squishy middle” a Thought Splinter (and Part II and Part III and Part IV) can often be hidden inside humor.

Now, let the mockery and mayhem begin.

 

*** Warning, a few possibly off-color ones, in case tender eyes are about ***

 

 

>>>>>=====<<<<<

 

 

 

TRUTH.  TINVOWOOT IMHO.  Alas.

 

 

 

It doesn’t matter.  The Potato could sodomize and cannibalize a living infant, on video in front of a live studio audience, and 90% of his fans wouldn’t care.  Because he’s not Orange Man.  That’s all that matters to these people.

 

 

WWIII incoming.

 

 

 

I’ve said before that the virulent anti-White racism that is in our society, recognizing it, was one of the biggest and most bitter pills I’ve had to swallow.  See “Pick of the Post” as well.

 

 

 

I’ll chip in for a gallon.

 

 

 

 

Theft and arson charges I can see… but in this day and age where people steal and burn American flags and get off with no punishment, that tells you who you aren’t allowed to criticize.

 

 

I suspect these were trial-balloon essays to see what might pass.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Look, I understand the appeal.  Back in my younger (single) days I’d occasionally go to, um, “Adult Entertainment Cabaret” locations.  And drop a not-trivial amount of money each time.  The dancers, of course, would clear hundreds every night in cash.  Over time I got to be friendly – not friends, but conversational-level friendly – with some of the dancers and they’d confided in me that on good weekend nights they’d clear well over $1000 in tips.  That’s 30+ years ago.  That’s some serious money.  Carefully managed and laundered, that’s a nice nest egg.

PSA – PSA – PSA – PSA – PSA

 

Whether you want it or not, CBDC is coming.  The only question, at this point, is how many we can wake up to the danger so that WHEN it is implemented, masses and masses simply don’t comply.

On a local, small-scale level, windmills and solar and such have an appeal and function.  A friend of mine has a remote cabin and it’s all solar powered.  Good stuff.  It’s the plan fact that you cannot power an industrial civilization with this that’s critical point.

 

 

 

 

 

I was reading that in the UK kids dying of cancer could not see both parents at the same time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

People fear uncertainly and chaos far more than the absolute level at which they live.  People will endure much hardship if it’s consistent.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But… but… but we’ve been assured by our intellectual and moral superiors that the Great Replacement is a myth.

 

 

 

Jury Nullification.

 

 

 

Intentional.

Team Biden has decided that they want to look at everything that American’s invest in, so they can see if you are being a “good little leftist” or putting your money into things like guns and beef.  This couldn’t possibly be abused now could it?  And what about that pesky 4th Amendment?  That doesn’t matter, right?:

Remember what happened in Maui?  Many, MANY people questioned how fires could be so precise as to completely melt down the aluminum in a car, and yet leave a palm tree just a few feet away untouched.  One possibility is a Directed Energy Weapon (DEW), but the government pooh-poohed that.  However, Slow Joe may have slipped up and let the cat out of the bag:

The Deep State globalists cannot let Trump win; they have too much at stake.  If (by some miracle) Trump pulls it off a win by such a large margin that they have to concede, THAT’s when their “backup plan” of a REAL insurrection will kick in:

Pick of the post:

 

 

I was raised on the “mother’s milk” of MLK Jr.  I believed it most of my life, I still want to believe it – at least, the whole judging by the content of an individual’s character.  But increasingly pasty-white me is feeling very targeted by the open anti-white rhetoric (let me not get started on the reverse discrimination I experienced as I graduated from college and was looking for a job).  I echo the above; I do so with regret, but I cannot be color blind again.  Note that this doesn’t mean there aren’t non-whites in my circle; recall I’m married to a non-white person.  But it does mean that – yes – in the words of George Clooney’s character in one of his movies, I AM going to stereotype at first sight, not only by race, but by outfit and in-public actions and attitudes.

Increasingly, given the anti-white violence we see, it’s not a racism thing.  It’s a survival instinct thing.
