 The above postings speak to my sentiments.

Frankly, I am fed up with those who hate this country, want to burn it down,  attack innocent people,  are anti-Semitic and truly racially prejudice, who want everything because they feel they are entitled, seek to change our education and re-write our history in order to raise a generation who feel as they do. 

It is time for the "Neanderthals and deplorables" to push back and certainly become more vocal. It is time to stand up and confront the malcontents who came here not to conform but to spread their anti-American germs. 

We need to re-embrace enforcement of our laws, change laws that are onerous and not working and demand citizens live in accordance with our laws or make them pay the price for not doing so and who put patriotism before whining. We need to enforce our borders and determine who we want to come and enjoy the benefits of our blessed land and culture and who will benefit our nation by their legal presence..

Most important is preventing manipulation of our voting laws and conduct that brings into question the honesty of election results.

My comments are not directed at any color . Predominantly,  you are  radical opportunists, liberal hypocrites wedded to the Democrat Party. You are thugs who belong elsewhere.

I regret we are stuck with a president who is both physically and mentally not up to the job, who is being manipulated and therefore, a danger to our nation..  I regret our Vice President is also not up to the job and has a past record of deplorable achievements. There is nothing we can do about this constitutionally except vote them out and rebuild our nation by going back to the nation we once were, if that is humanly possible. If not, then we need to start fresh with new leadership that understands and accepts our philosophical roots and embraces  our constitution and will devote themselves to making America work again in  accordance with the challenges of today.  

Finally we need leadership that  accepts The Bill Of  Rights as being  the greatest expression mankind ever decreed and are willing to place America above self.

A Plan to Get Divisive & Radical

Theories Out of Our Schools

By Donald J. Trump

For decades, the America-blaming left has been relentlessly pushing a vision of America that casts our history, culture, traditions, and founding documents in the most negative possible light. Yet in recent years, this deeply unnatural effort has progressed from telling children that their history is evil to telling Americans that they are evil

In classrooms across the nation, students are being subjected to a new curriculum designed to brainwash them with the ridiculous left-wing dogma known as critical race theory. The key fact about this twisted doctrine is that it is completely antithetical to everything that normal Americans of any color would wish to teach their children

 

Instead of helping young people discover that America is the greatest, most tolerant, and most generous nation in history, it teaches them that America is systemically evil and that the hearts of our people are full of hatred and malice. Far from advancing the beautiful dream of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. -- that our children should “not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character” -- the left’s vile new theory preaches that judging people by the color of their skin is actually a good idea

Teaching even one child these divisive messages would verge on psychological abuse. Indoctrinating generations of children with these extreme ideas is not just immoral -- it is a program for national suicide. Yet that is exactly what the Biden administration endorsed recently in a rule pub

lished in the Federal Register aimed at inflicting a critical race theory-inspired curriculum on American schoolchildren

 

The rule explicitly cites the New York Times’ discredited 1619 Project as a motivation. The Times has described the goal of its endeavor as the “re-education” of the American people, and the project even includes a lesson plan that encourages students to practice “erasing” parts of the Declaration of Independence. The Biden rule also directly cites a left-wing activist and leading proponent of critical race theory whose textbook states, “The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.”

This is what the Biden administration wants to teach America’s children.

The Department of Education rule stems from an executive order Biden signed on his first day in office. Biden’s order abolished the President’s Advisory 1776 Commission I created to honor America’s founding principles, and reversed an executive action I took to stop these depraved theories from being imposed upon federal employees in workforce training sessions.

 

Thankfully, most Americans oppose this insanity. The left has only gotten away with it until this point because not enough parents have been paying attention and speaking up. But that is quickly changing. From Loudoun County, Va., to Cupertino, Calif., parents are beginning to make their voices heard against the left-wing cultural revolution. What they need now is a plan to actually stop it.

 

Here are the reforms that every concerned parent in America should be demanding.

First, every state legislature should pass a ban on taxpayer dollars going to any school district or workplace that teaches critical race theory, which inherently violates existing anti-discrimination laws. Inspired by my executive order last year, Florida, Texas, North Carolina, Oklahoma and other states have already taken steps to pass such laws. It needs to happen everywhere — and Congress should seek to institute a federal ban through legislation as well

Second, each state should create its own 1776 Commission to examine the public school curriculum and ensure that students are receiving a patriotic, pro-American education — not being taught that the United States is an evil nation.

Third, parents have a right to know exactly what is being taught to their children. Last year, many parents had the chance to routinely listen in on classes for the first time because of remote learning. As students return to the classroom, states need to pass laws requiring that all lesson plans have to be made available to parents — every handout, article, and reading should be posted on an online portal that allows parents to see what their kids are being taught.

Furthermore, in many places, there are rules preventing students from recording what teachers say in class. States and school boards should establish a “Right to Record.”

Fourth, parents need to organize locally — in every school district in America — to eliminate “Action Civics” and other versions of the effort to contort traditional civics education into a vehicle for political indoctrination. The left’s new argument is that our “divisions” stem from a lack of “civics education” — a problem they intend to “fix” with lots of new taxpayer money and a redefinition of “civics” in schools, just as they are trying to redefine the meaning of “infrastructure.”

Right now, Congress is working on a $1 billion bill known as the Civics Secures Democracy Act. No Republican should trust the Biden administration with a billion dollars to spend on such programs. Even worse, the legislation threatens to establish a de facto national curriculum for history and civics, effectively bribing states into adopting the left’s anti-American curriculum. It is Common Core all over again -- but much more extreme. And like Common Core, parents must unite to stop this new federal power grab.

Fifth, any parent who objects to the material being taught to their child in public school should get an automatic voucher, empowering them to pick another school of their choice. The government has no right to brainwash students with controversial ideologies against their parents’ will.

Sixth, states need to take back control of their schools of education and credentialing bodies to ensure they are not churning out radicalized teachers. To be clear, the overwhelming majority of our nation’s teachers are some of the most selfless and wonderful people there are — but regrettably, many have graduated from extremely biased education schools and may not even be aware of the degree to which leftist ideology has permeated their curriculum. States should set up alternative credentialing bodies that can certify great teachers who know how to instill a sense of love for America. School districts can then make it a priority to hire teachers with these certifications, especially for English, history, and social studies roles. States could even set up their own versions of Teach for America to get passionate and patriotic young people into the classroom.

Finally, states need to break the tenure monopoly in public K-12 schools. Tenure was originally supposed to protect competent teachers from being subjected to undue political influence; it has turned into a mechanism to protect incompetent teachers who themselves wield undue political influence over our children. Educators who are alienating children from their own country should not be protected with lifelong tenure; they should be liberated to pursue a career as a political activist.

Make no mistake: The motive behind all of this left-wing lunacy is to discredit and eliminate the greatest obstacles to the fundamental transformation of America. To succeed with their extreme agenda, radicals know they must abolish our attachment to the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and most of all, Americans’ very identity as a free, proud, and self-governing people.

The left knows that if they can dissolve our national memory and identity, they can gain the total political control they crave.

A nation is only as strong as its spirit. For our children, we must act before it is too late.

BOYLE STATEMENT ON EXCLUSION OF ISRAELI FOOD TRUCK AT PHILADELPHIA COMMUNITY EVENT

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Brendan F. Boyle (PA-02) issued the following statement in response to media reports of an Israeli food truck being disinvited from participating in today’s “A Taste of Home” event taking place in Pennsylvania’s 2nd congressional district:
 
“I am stunned and saddened at the decision of the organizers of “A Taste of Home” to disinvite Moshava, an Israeli food company, from participating in this year’s event in my congressional district. This decision represents surrendering to the threats of bigots.  

That Moshava should be excluded from what is supposed to be an event showcasing food offerings from all around the world, solely due to their being an Israeli food vendor, is completely unacceptable. Given the disturbing rise in acts of antisemitism across our region and country, this decision by the organizers is only helping to embolden those who would use threats of protest or even violence to prevent any people, businesses and entire communities from living and operating freely without fear.  

If the explanation of the organizers that Moshava’s invitation was revoked due to the threat of protests and violence is true, then I believe such threats should be investigated by law enforcement, as no person or organization should be coerced or threatened by the prospect of intimidation or violence. 

I urge the organizers of this community event to stand up for Moshava and the right of businesses to operate freely, and to reverse its decision.”\

Why Iran Matters for American National Interest By Russell Berman via The Caravan, issue 2131 Russell Berman writes that the stakes are high in Washington’s negotiations with Tehran over the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. He argues that it would be a strategic failure for American interests if US diplomats conceded to sanctions relief without in return getting guarantees from Iran’s leaders to curtail their nuclear weapons program, stop their funding of terror proxies against America’s allies Israel and Saudi Arabia, and address their abhorrent human rights record. As well, Berman maintains that the United States should structure the global energy sector to prevent a post-sanctions Iran from playing a spoiler role through its share of control over Gulf oil exports.

How Biden Should Deal with Putin By Michael McFaul via Foreign Affairs On the heels of this week’s meeting between President Joe Biden and Russian leader Vladimir Putin, Michael McFaul writes that in addition to placing new limitations on nuclear weapons, the two heads of state should launch parallel discussions about rules of engagement for cyber and space weapons. McFaul also advocates improved communication between Washington and Moscow in order to reduce the risk of misunderstandings and misperceptions that can lead to conflict. To establish a stable and predictable relationship with Russia in the long term, McFaul contends, the Biden administration should embark on a concurrent strategy of containment of the Kremlin to prevent further disruptive actions abroad and direct engagement with Russian citizens who have democratic aspirations for their country ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Wisconsin Rep.

Israel's new gov't needs to embrace the Osirak spirit against Gaza  By Michael Freund If the terrorist leadership in Gaza can dictate who, when, where and how Israelis can behave in their own capital, does anyone think they will limit themselves to protesting parades? It was 40 years ago this month that Israel launched a daring raid to take out the Osirak nuclear reactor that Saddam Hussein was building outside of Baghdad.  The attack shocked the world and underlined the Jewish state’s willingness to employ audacious measures to preserve its interests, even at the expense of international opprobrium. And nowadays? Our present leadership has been terrified by the prospect of a group of young Jews waving Israeli flags while walking in the heart of Jerusalem lest it cause affront to a gang of terrorists in Gaza. The contrast in resolve is so stark and worrisome that it raises a disconcerting question.  How does a government slide so far, so fast and so furiously into unflinching fatigue? The feebleness was on display for all to see on June 7, when Israel Television broadcast a short video of two young Israeli women being swarmed upon by police at the entrance to the Old City of Jerusalem. And just what was their offense? They were walking near Damascus Gate carrying two blue-and-white flags.  In the cringeworthy clip, one can see the Israeli youths looking completely bewildered, presumably wondering what could possibly be wrong with showing some national pride. Their surprise is entirely understandable and any sentient viewer cannot help but marvel whether we have completely lost our minds. This episode came amid a furious debate over whether a planned parade with Israeli flags in the same area would be permitted to take place on June 10. The march, which is held annually and was originally scheduled for Yom Yerushalayim on May 10, was postponed after Hamas began to fire rockets at Israel. Last week, amid threats from Ismail Haniyeh and other Hamas hoodlums, security officials and political leaders were climbing over one another in a race to denounce the parade as “a provocation” as they demanded that it be canceled. In the end, it was moved to June 15 Let’s stop for a moment and consider just how inexplicable this situation is. If a Jew in Jerusalem in the sovereign state of Israel wishes to exercise his or her right to march, walk, protest or even hop and skip down the street while holding a flag, don’t they have a fundamental right to do so? Caving in to Hamas over a couple of flags rather than risking another outbreak of violence might sound reasonable to some people until one contemplates the salient fact that it will not end there.  If the terrorist leadership in Gaza can dictate who, when, where and how Israelis can behave in their own capital, does anyone think they will limit themselves to protesting parades? It is so obvious that it should not need to be repeated, but apparently it must: to yield to the faux fury of Hamas only serves to weaken our hold over Jerusalem.  No other country in the world would tolerate a situation where the conduct of their internal affairs in the nation’s capital would be held hostage in such a manner. And neither should we. It may be hard to believe, but once upon a time, our decision-makers were animated by a drive and sense of purpose, a shared wonder at the miracle of Israel, which embodied the hopes and dreams of generations of Jews.  The slow but steady deterioration of our national determination in recent years is perhaps one of the gravest threats we face. After all, what must the Ayatollahs in Tehran be thinking when Israel backs down for fear of angering Hamas? Does that inspire them to fear our leaders’ determination to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons? Or does it perhaps give them a good reason to kick back and laugh? It is precisely at times such as this that the anniversary of the Osirak operation can serve as a healthy reminder of the national fortitude that we must urgently revive.  It was on June 7, 1981, that the Israeli Air Force (IAF) dispatched eight F-16A fighter-bombers, along with an escort of six F-15s for support, to fly 1,000 kilometers eastward towards Iraq in what came to be known as Operation Opera. Their target was a nuclear facility being constructed with French assistance located just 17 kilometers (11 miles) southeast of Baghdad.   Israel’s pilots had to fly round-trip over Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Iraq and dodge Iraqi air-defenses that had been put into place to protect the site. No aerial refueling was possible at the time, leaving no room for error. Thankfully, the IAF succeeded in their mission, dropping 16 bombs in under two minutes before making their way home to Israel. The Osirak reactor was destroyed, setting back Saddam’s nuclear ambitions for years to come. While initially condemned by much of the international community, the raid was later hailed as a significant strategic achievement, sending a loud and clear message throughout the region that Israel would not yield to threats from its enemies. And that is why it is so crucial that the Jewish state revive the spirit of the Osirak attack and once again imbue it into our national life.  By yielding to threats over Jerusalem, Israel would effectively be placing greater importance on what Hamas thinks than on the future of our capital. That calculus is not only morally warped, but short-sighted and dangerous, too.  Only by reclaiming the pluck and mettle that were embodied in the Osirak operation can Israel hope to survive and thrive in the Middle East. And the sooner we adopt this approach, the safer and more secure we will all be.  The writer served as deputy communications director under prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his first term of office. ++++++++++++++++++++++++ More good news Israel from Ordman: The photo is of one of Netanya's stunning flame trees, which bloom twice a year.

Therefore, unless there is a steep drop, as happened this past Friday, I would be reluctant to buy but selective buying, on significant re-actions, seems ok because the connective world recovery from COVID is yet ahead, As for inflation, most of Biden's economic actions seem to be riven by outright stupidity but then he has a history of dumbness.  Paying people not to work when jobs are available and firing people earning good jobs and crippling communities while shutting oil pipelines domestically yet, allowing Russia to fill their's pumping energy to NATO nations is a remarkable act of insensitivity and /or total stupidity. Also, the consequence of these moves is driving wages higher so the combination of energy and labor costs rising is what is impacting inflation levels. This could and might be alleviated when circumstances reverse unless Biden does something else stupid. I am willing tobe a selected buy:  On further  reaction I favor these stocks: VZ, VST, AINV,, Energy, including XON, and Health Sector, including BMY and CAH, , WAB,AIG and QCOM. They are a mixture of modest growth, income and value. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
