The National School Boards Association, the group that urged the Biden administration to investigate parents who speak out for the rights of their children as potential domestic terrorists, has political ties to the democratic party and labor unions. What a surprise! While most funding for the group comes from state school boards, the National Education Association, which is the largest teachers union and a major donor to democrat candidates, donated the last two years. As reported by the Daily Signal, the union contributed $68,000 in 2020 and $50,000 in 2019.

President Joe Biden’s crashing polling numbers appear to have no end as he fumbles with the border crisis, a 13-year high in inflation, and the threat of empty toy shelves on Christmas Eve.In a new Zogby Poll just provided to Secrets, the first-year president has hit another job performance low, 36.4%.(Video) “Our latest polling shows President Biden with a 36% positive job performance rating (excellent-15% and good-21% combined), while his negative rating is 61% (fair-19% and poor-42% combined),” pollster Jonathan Zogby of Zogby Analytics told us.Worst of all, women are abandoning the president, followed by independents —

North Carolina Rep. Dan Bishop accused the tech billionaire of putting 'his thumb on the scale' to give Democrats an edge in last year's races.'Our elections are not for sale, but Mark Zuckerberg apparently believes otherwise as he did all he could to put a thumb on the scale for Democrats in 2020,' Bishop told DailyMail.com.'It’s clear that no one meddled more in the last election than
Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor on Wednesday revealed the recent format changes to oral arguments implemented this fall to the high court were in part brought about after studies revealed female justices were interrupted more. The studies, Sotomayor told an audience during a talk on “diversity and inclusion” at New York University School of Law, led Chief Justice John Roberts to be “much more sensitive” in ensuring people were not interrupted, according to CNN.The justice said the findings have had an “enormous impact.”“Most of the time women say things and they are not heard in the same way as men who might say the identical thing,”
Media outlet Business Insider decided to finally do a piece on the Hunter Biden scandal but equivocated all over the place trying to appease the leftist mob, disparage Trump, and dump on Fox News while minimally reporting on the corruption of the President’s son.The unintentionally amusing headline states, “Hunter Biden isn’t Trump, but what’s he’s up to is bad and deserves your attention — even if you hate Fox News.”Instead of just focusing on the documented corruption of the Biden clan, Business Insider appeared to feel it had to apologize to their liberal audience for even attempting to do their job as journalists
Moderate Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, who along with Sen. Joe Manchin essentially holds the keys to the Democratic agenda, signaled Thursday that she will not vote for a multi-trillion dollar budget reconciliation bill until the House passes the $1T bipartisan infrastructure plan. Sinema told fellow Democrats as much this week in a meeting with House members, sources with knowledge told Reuters. Meanwhile, progressives in the House have said they won't vote for the bipartisan infrastructure bill until the Senate moves on the larger package. With a split 50-50 Senate, Democrats can't get anything done in the upper chamber without Manchin and Sinema on board.

You can watch the video from the let’s go Brandon song on TikTok trolling Joe Biden later in this article.What is let’s go Brandon, why is it going viral, and what does it mean?It all started with a video interview in which an NBC journalist said on the air that the crowd at a NASCAR game was using the phrase “let’s go Brandon.” They weren’t. They were actually chanting “f*** Joe Biden.” At that point, people who don’t like the president and his policies started widely using “let’s go Brandon”
Turns out the Italians are fans of Brandon too.This past weekend, on October 9th, anti-vaccine mandate protesters in Rome, Italy chanted “f*** Joe Biden” as they marched past the American Embassy, which was long the route of their march through the Eternal City.

Three years ago, the only people who’d ever heard of Pete Buttigieg were likely to be residents of South Bend, Ind., the town of 103,000 people where he served as mayor.
South Bend is home to Notre Dame University. It has a bus station with a fleet of 60 buses, a small train station and a small regional airport. So, who better for Team Biden to nominate as secretary of the Department of Transportation, which employs more than 58,000 employees – more than half the population of South Bend – and has a budget of $87 billion?

That has never been the whole story.”
“Those explorers ushered in a wave of devastation for tribal nations — perpetrating violence, stealing land, and spreading disease,” she stated,
"Research obtained by a group of scientists shows the COVID vaccine spike protein can travel from the injection site and accumulate in organs and tissues including the spleen, bone marrow, the liver, adrenal glands and in 'quite high concentrations' in the ovaries."
This is what Dr. Robert Malone, inventor of the mRNA technology warned about. The spike proteins are not staying at the injection site and they are dangerous. Protein in the blood can be very dangerous.
A Canadian cancer vaccine researcher said last week, “We made a big mistake. We didn’t realize it until now,” said Byram Bridle, a viral immunologist and associate professor at University of Guelph, Ontario.

The Treasury Secretary has defended plans to monitor bank transactions of more than $600, insisting that the scheme was designed to end 'tax fraud' by billionaires, and would not mean Americans' accounts were recorded.The new proposal requires financial institutions to annually report the total amount that went in and out of the bank as well as loan and investment accounts if within that year the accounts hold a value of at least $600 or if the total transactions are $600 or more in a year. More simply, this means that if total funds flowing in and out of a credit or debit account
The White House on Tuesday warned Republican governors of Texas and Florida that President Joe Biden would override their efforts to fight coronavirus vaccine mandates in their states.
“We know that federal law overrides state law,” she said referring to state attempts to ban vaccine passports.

Food companies are coming under renewed pressure to use less salt after U.S. regulators spelled out long-awaited guidelines aimed at reducing sodium levels in dozens of foods including condiments, cereals, french fries and potato chips. The voluntary goals finalized Wednesday for 163 foods are intended to help lower the amount of salt people eat. A majority of the sodium in U.S. diets comes from packaged or restaurant foods — not the salt added to meals at home — making it hard for people to make changes on their own. To get people used to eating less salt, the Food and Drug Administration said reductions have to be gradual and CORRECTIONS*
The White House admitted Wednesday they were unable to guarantee packages would arrive on time this Christmas. “We are not the postal service, or UPS, or FedEx,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said. “We cannot guarantee. What we can do is use every lever at the federal government’s disposal to reduce delays.” Psaki repeatedly posited that the government would work to solve supply chain issues, especially at American ports where ships are forced to wait in offshore traffic before they can get unloaded.
