Elementary School Canceled 'Jingle Bells'
This Year to Fight Racism
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 12/30/2021 3:56:15 AM
Christmas is over, and I hope you had a good one — filled with the sights and sounds of the season. For one elementary school in New York, the above didn’t quite work out. For the sake of equity, the school canceled “Jingle Bells.” The song may seem innocuous — what’s wrong with riding in a one-horse open sleigh? As relayed by the Rochester Beacon, the tune used to be sung by Brighton’s Council Rock Primary School. But the sleigh ride’s now been slayed. An announcement was made earlier this year on the district’s public website, which hosts a section on “Diversity and Equity.”

A business owner in Salem, Oregon, painted a mural honoring the American flag and the Marines who raised it at Iwo Jima. Most observers considered it a beautiful memorial and an attractive use of an otherwise nondescript wall. The owner of the business commissioned a local artist to create the tasteful and fetching display of patriotism.
The Salem City Council has ordered him to remove it, or face fines of up to $200 per day.
The artist, Mario De Leon, raised the alarm in a Facebook post:
What’s up everybody. The city of Salem is forcing @valleyroofingoregon to remove the mural I painted or to give the mural to the Salem art society.
Jacob Lang has been awaiting trial without bail in the D.C. jail for his involvement in the January 6 riot at the Capitol for almost a year, along with many others who have been charged with crimes connected to that day. With no trial date in sight, he and his fellow inmates languish in a jail they say is inhumane. The J6 prisoners’ complaints about filthy conditions and inhumane treatment resulted in a surprise inspection that found everything they were saying was true. As a result, over 400 prisoners were moved to different facilities—none of them J6 prisoners.

Good Riddance, 2021

It’s New Year’s again and time to hope for a happier future.
Last year at this time we were hoping for a better year in 2021, but that sure as heck didn’t work out, did it?
Forget the damage done to the economy by the hapless and relentlessly clueless “Joe Biden” regime.
Forget the Biden-made disasters at the Mexican border and in Afghanistan.
The worst mistakes the Biden administration made were in its failed “War on COVID.”
Biden, Dr. Fauci, the blue state governors, the CDC and the government’s so-called public health experts were wrong about everything – the high cost of lockdowns, the efficacy and safety of vaccines, the protection provided by cloth masks,
The cruise ship industry has been hit hard during the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, much of their pain and suffering has been self-inflicted, driven by their mindless following of pointless federal dictates. That has most noticeably manifested itself in the implementation of so-called “vaccine passports.”
Of course, vaccine passports do not actually accomplish anything. New York City not only has a vaccine passport system, but they also have a vaccine mandate. Still, they lead the nation in new coronavirus cases as of this writing. But the fact that everyone spreads COVID — and that vaccine passports made no sense — is not new information.
And when Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida
After all the chaos and arguing, after a season of two College Football Playoff first-timers, and just when it looked like some new blood could break through to the top tier of the sport, it’s Georgia and Alabama. Again, and emphatically so.
The third-ranked Bulldogs clobbered No. 2 Michigan, 34-11, at the Orange Bowl in Miami Gardens, Fla. on Friday night to set up a rematch of the SEC title game in next Monday’s national championship game. Georgia will try to win its first national title since the halcyon days of Herschel Walker and 1980, and its coach, former Alabama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart,
While Hollywood mourns the loss of iconic television star Betty White, who died Friday at the age of 99, the U.S. Army is remembering the actress for a role she played off the screen: that of World War II volunteer.
In a statement issued Friday on Twitter, the Army said it was "saddened by the passing of Betty White," adding that she had a personal history with the military branch.
"Not only was she an amazing actress, she also served during WWII as a member of the American Women's Voluntary Services. A true legend on and off the screen," the statement concluded. [Tweet]

Minnesota investigators looking for a man captured on surveillance video allegedly knocking an elderly woman down while trying to snatch her purse as she walked into a Walgreens were tipped off as to the identity of the man by his own mother.
Isaiah Jamal Foster, 18, of Richfield, was already in the Ramsey County Jail in connection with a Tuesday carjacking of a woman and her young child, the St Paul Police Department said. His mother called the police and turned her son in to authorities, a police spokesperson told Fox News.
Now he faces first-degree aggravated attempted robbery and third-degree assault resulting in substantial bodily harm
The weather in Texarkana, which stretches through Texas and Arkansas, on Wednesday was stormy with a chance of falling fish.
Two storms blew through the region and after they dissipated, residents in both states found the ground was littered with dead fish.
According The City of Texarkana, Texas, this phenomenon is referred to as 'animal rain' and occurs when small water animals are swept up in waterspouts or drafts that occur on the surface of the earth.
'2021 is pulling out all the tricks… including raining fish in Texarkana today,' the city shared in a Facebook post. 'And no, this isn't a joke.'
If you’re anything like every other sane person in America, you’re sick of COVID-19 dominating the headlines. You’ve also probably had your fill of government bureaucrats trying to tell you how to live your life. Take the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), for instance.
[Snip] This week, social media has become a brilliant parody factory as we get the payoff for the CDC screaming to be made fun of for so many months.
You don’t have to go terribly far on social media to find jokes that start with “The CDC now recommends…” or “The CDC now says…”
They can be pretty funny,
One of the most alarming trends of the COVID era has to be chemical discrimination. The right of politicians or job creators to make the pharmaceutical modification of your person a condition of employment (or having a life). A quick question to advocates.
Who convinced you that you could get that horse back into the barn?
The moment you said yes, or gave, or convinced others to do the same you didn’t save a job, you doomed it. You are all on borrowed time. A duration defined not by you or your needs but by your employer and your government.
None of you can reasonably claim any sort of future exemption for anything,
We Abandoned Science For Power
4 replies
Since the early days of the COVID-19 Pandemic, we have been told to follow the science. For two years, we have listened to the CDC, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and Dr. Deborah Birx, and we had blind faith in these people to lead us out of the black hole of COVID back to life as we knew it. We trusted these people because they knew the answers to all of our questions, and they were the experts.
These were the people who analyzed the data, studied the history of these viruses, and if they told us to Mask, we would Mask. If they told us to quarantine, we hunkered down.

In the aftermath of Christmas, the season of giving, failed 2016 Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton apparently thinks it’s a good time to pass the hat for her now purportedly financially challenged, so-called nonprofit organization.
The response on social media was an emphatic no sale, however.
“If you’re able to give, I hope you’ll consider supporting the life-changing work of the [Clinton Foundation],” she wrote on Twitter in her fundraising pitch. In so doing, she retweeted a message from the foundation’s blue-check account that bragged about various virtue-signaling-sounding initiatives.
Critics have alleged that the foundation functioned as an influence pedaling, pay-for-play operation in which foreign entities made big contributions

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed Friday Republicans criticize her because of their “deranged sexual frustrations” and suggested Republicans seek “therapy.”The “squad” member was spotted dining outdoors in Miami Beach with her boyfriend as her home state sees record-breaking cases of the coronavirus.Columnist and former President Donald Trump adviser Steve Cortes poked fun at Ocasio-Cortez, claiming “if leftists like AOC actually thought mandates and masking worked, they wouldn’t be frolicking in free FL” and that her boyfriend’s feet were “gross” and “pale.”
On Wednesday evening a jury found socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, the former girlfriend to convicted pedophile Jeffery Epstein, guilty on five counts related to sex trafficking and abuse of minors. Maxwell, who just turned 60, will spend the rest of her life behind bars. "Judge Nathan did not set a date for Ms. Maxwell to be sentenced.

Democrat Rep. Debbie Dingell grew emotional on Wednesday night over having to leave her hometown of Dearborn, Michigan in order to keep serving in Congress after redistricting swiped her seat ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.For the first time in history, Michigan's new map was drawn by an independent commission rather than political operators. That saw the state's number of House seats drop from 14 to 13, and is forcing Dingell out of the 12th Congressional District she took over from her husband, late longtime Rep. John Dingell.Members of her party are watching nervously as next year's races begin to take shape with 23 less Democrat incumbents --
White people infected with COVID in New York State—the hardest hit state in the country—are in jeopardy of being turned away from potential lifesaving treatments in favor of other more at-risk races because of a national shortage of two promising types of medical treatments. In a shocking memo sent out by the state's Health Department and approved by Gov. Kathy Hochul on Monday, white residents were told not to bother trying to get Pfizer's Paxlovid pill or monoclonal antibody treatments. 'Non-white race or Hispanic/Latino ethnicity should be considered a risk factor as longstanding systemic health and social inequities have contributed to an increased risk

With the anniversary of the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill one week away, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has released a list of events for the day as highlighted in a "Dear Colleague" letter. The letter notes that while Congress will not be in session that day, "a full program of events is being planned, based on Member input." Events will be live-streamed, "so that Members can watch and participate from their districts." (Tweet) Agenda items include a "House Pro Forma Session;" a "Historic Perspective," which includes Jon Meacham who spoke at the DNC in August 2020; "Members' Testimonials;" and a "Prayer Vigil."
President Joe Biden said Friday he told Russian President Vladimir Putin Russia there will be a 'heavy price' if Russia invades Ukraine, amid ongoing tensions amid the Russian troop build-up along the border. 'I made clear to President Putin that if he makes any more moves, if he goes into Ukraine, we will have severe sanctions. We will increase our presence in Europe, with our NATO allies, and there will be a heavy price to pay for it,' Biden said from his hometown of Wilmington, where he is spending New Year's Eve.He spoke to reporters outside Bank's Seafood Kitchen and Raw Bar in Wilmington
Advocates for the transgender ideology are admitting they cannot persuade their own progressive allies, or even “persuadable” swing voters, to back their revolutionary goal of suppressing Americans’ recognition of sex differences.“Right now, our opposition wins the debate on trans youth in sports against any and all arguments we have tried for our side,” admits a “Messaging Guide” by the California-based Transgender Law Center.Overall, “we can at best elicit sympathy, a passive and often patronizing attitude that alienates our base [of current supporters] and fails to generate sustained interest from persuadable audiences” of swing voters, said the guide, which is titled “Transgender Youth and the Freedom to Be Ourselves.”
Mercedes-Benz’s latest hot car ad has caused Asian social media to blow up over ads featuring models sporting makeup that allegedly creates stereotypical “slanted eyes” which the Chinese find extremely offensive.The high-end German automaker removed the ad in deference to the Chinese from the social media network Weibo on Dec. 25 after a massive blowup over the “slanted eyes” issue.“Is there any beauty in this makeup?” one incensed critic wrote, according to the Global Times. “It is not [open for] interpretation. No Chinese will think this kind of ‘beauty’ is attractive,” another remarked.The Global Times, which is the Chinese Communist Party’s propaganda outlet, claimed on Tuesday that the hashtag
ABC’s “The View” is having a hard time finding a new conservative co-host. The ones who’ve auditioned either are liberals masquerading as conservatives on air, or have proven they’re too much smarter than the incumbent panelists. Five months after co-star Meghan McCain left the show, the hosts can’t experience the latter again.
“At the same time,” Politico Playbook reported Monday, the new host “can’t be seen as too chummy with the other co-hosts, as the network’s market-research shows that the audience wants to see the women spar.”
U.S. prosecutors decided to end their criminal case against two Manhattan jail guards who admitted to falsifying records on the night the financier Jeffrey Epstein killed himself on their watch. In a Thursday filing in Manhattan federal court, prosecutors asked a judge to dismiss claims against Tova Noel and Michael Thomas, after both complied with the six-month deferred prosecution agreements they agreed to in May. Epstein was found hanging in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center on Aug. 10, 2019, while awaiting trial for sex trafficking, in what New York City's medical examiner called a suicide.
Vice President Kamala Harris struggled to give a coherent answer when asked about the economy and inflation during a Sunday interview on CBS.
Harris appeared on "Face the Nation" when host Margaret Brennan asked her on the issues of inflation going into the "third year" of a pandemic. "Was it wrong to consider inflation transitory? These price spikes seem like they’re going to be with us for a while," Brennan asked.
The question referred to a previous statement pushed by White House press secretary Jen Psaki that insisted inflation was only "transitory" and should go down within the next year.
Since then economists have admitted inflation has only gotten worse
