Stop your bitchin’: South Dakota Militia gets 1st ever female…preacher?

“Through all of the chaos, I realized I had to keep my eye on the prize and keep going.”-Captain Kelley Thury

The biggest hot potato about women in the U.S. military is whether they should directly work in combat jobs.  But what about the spiritual battlefront?

In January, South Dakota Army National Guard welcomed its first ever female chaplain,  Captain Kelley Thury.

Thury stated that she never thought about becoming a military chaplain, at first.  It was after graduating university, and then serving as a evangelical missionary overseas (motivated by the evangelical slogan Getting to know God and making God known) that she began to doubt what she thought was God’s plan for her: “I was left coming back to states going, ‘Okay God, what in the world? Did I hear you wrong? What’s going on? What have I done? What did I not hear correctly?”

Her brother convinced her to join the South Dakota National Guard, as a photographer.  During basic training one of her drill sergeants openly professed his faith to trainees, something during my Cold War basic training would’ve gotten a drill sergeant into trouble, and I as a believer in The Constitution-Bill of Rights believe religion should be kept to oneself especially if you’re a government employee (after all Jesus in the Bible says “render unto Caeser what is his”, and “you cannot serve two masters”).  But I digress.  Thury credits her Bible thumping Drill Sergeant with showing her The Way: “At basic training, I had a drill sergeant who was very vocal about his faith. Right before we left in-processing and were shipped out to our respective training units, he prayed over us. I said, ‘You know what drill sergeant? Let us pray for you too.’  So I prayed for him. He was kind of the first one that spoke it out. He said, ‘Some of you are going to do certain things in the military, some of you will get out, some of you will become chaplains’ and he looked straight at me. It’s kind of when I said, ‘Yeah. I have felt the call of ministry on my life.’”

Thury also praises the chaplain training she got through the South Dakota militia: “I wasn’t thrust into a church and told, ‘Here, go lead a congregation.’ I was really led through the process by several chaplains in South Dakota. It was an incredible training experience for me because I got to see how it works before having to do it. It is a great program.”

By the way, her father is also a preacher.

NEW WAR ON DRUGS: PROOF YOUR GOVERNMENT IS BEHIND DRUG ADDICTION, ‘DRUG TAKE BACK DAY’!

M777 : Proof the United States is the tool of the British empire!

“Samuel, notify your men: the British are coming.”-General Oliver Prescott, 19APR1775

Washington (state) National Guard train-up on their new M777, 12APR2017

The U.S. Army’s Watervliet Arsenal is making parts for the M777A2 artillery system, as part of a $50-million USD sale to India.  But it’s not the United States that is profiting.  The company raking in the profits from the M777 sale to India is BAE Systems, based in the capitol of The Commonwealth of Nations, the United Kingdom.

U.S. Marine Corps video report by Sergeant Mathew Callahan, ‘When the M777 becomes a direct fire gun’:

The Indian M777 deal is worth $50-million, but at one point the Indian Army wanted about $800-million worth of the high-tech cannons, the Indian taxpayers said no to that.  Contrary to the decades of lies about India gaining independence from the British empire, India is actually an autonomous (self-governing) member of The Commonwealth of Nations (the official term for the British empire since the 1926 Balfour Declaration).

But India is not the only Commonwealth member to get BAE’s profitable M777 cannon; Australia starting in 2010, and Canada starting in 2005 (initially through the U.S. Marine Corps).

Canadian Forces show you how to fire the M777, video by Master Corporal Kurt Visser, Wainwright, Alberta, May 2017:

BAE (formerly British Aerospace BAe, and GEC-Marconi/Marconi Electronic Systems MES) designs and builds anything from submarines to killer A-I robots.  Nothing but death and destruction, for the profit of Queen and Country.

Revolutionaries attack BAE’s Australia office with paint and sledgehammers, December 2015

In the late 1990s, under the Bill Clinton regime, MES began taking over U.S. defense contractors.  In 1999, MES and BAe merged to create BAE Systems, apparently to stop a U.S. defense contractor from taking over MES.  In 2001, the same year the False Flag War on Terror began, BAE Systems aggressively invaded the U.S. defense industry, taking over many U.S. companies, including cyber security companies.  Prior to World War Two, the U.S. government was officially anti-monarchist, anti-imperialist.  Unfortunately for American War for Independence General Oliver Prescott, the British are here!

New War on Drugs: Proof your government is behind drug addiction, ‘Drug Take Back Day’!

Video

11FEB2018 / 18:31 UTC-07 Tango 06  (23 Bahman 1396/26 Jumada l-Ula 1439/27 Ren-Yin 4715)

“Every year, since we’ve been doing the National Take Back, the DEA and the National Guard have worked side-by-side with collection and transportation of the prescriptions. The National Guard is a huge help in collecting a lot of pills in a short amount of time and then getting them to the destruction point.”– Timothy McMahon, DEA

Ever notice that local police, and now National Guard, conduct “drug take back” days?  The problem with this phrase, Prescription Drug Take Back Day, and the fact that it is conducted by government law enforcers, implies your doctor issued prescription drugs came from the government.

Prescription Drug Take Back Day is an operation of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).   As an example of how much prescription drugs are out there, in October 2017, under the guidance of the DEA the New Jersey National Guard Counterdrug Task Force incinerated seven tons of prescription drugs during a Drug Take Back op!

Ohio National Guard conducts Drug Take Back Day, 01May2017

You don’t have to take my word that government and corporations (employees of at least) are involved in drugs dealing, read the following Real News sources from the past month.

WWL: Orleans Parish jail guard allegedly smuggled in drugs

Pacific Daily News: Department of Public Works employee pleaded guilty to illegal drug possession

Courier-Gazette & Camden Herald: Federal judge excludes drug test on fishing boat captain facing manslaughter charges

In December 2017 Hanscom Air Force Base, in Massachusetts,  became the first U.S. Air Force installation to arm its police with naloxone, in an attempt to prevent opioid overdoses.

Also towards the end of 2017, the Defense Threat Reduction Agency’s Chemical and Biological Technologies Department began research on a new, potentially weaponized, opioid drug threat called carfentanil.  One poppy seed sized amount of carfentanil (aka Elephant Tranquilizer) can potentially kill you.  The U.S. Department of Defense is so sure that carfentanil is being weaponized (they didn’t say by whom) that efforts are being made to find antidotes for military personnel, and eventually silly-vilians.

Official video attempting to explain why Nevada National Guard Counterdrug Task Force was sent to Kingdom of Tonga:

Another sign of the growing prescription drug problem is that the military health insurance TriCare just jacked up the out-of-pocket cost of drugs for military families.  USAF Lieutenant t. Colonel Ann McManis, of the Defense Health Agency Pharmacy Operations Division, revealed it’s part of a plan to force military families to do their drugs shopping solely on military based: “Military pharmacies and TriCare Pharmacy Home Delivery will remain the lowest cost pharmacy option for TriCare beneficiaries.”

02FEB2018, signing a pledge not to drink booze while watching the Super Bowl

Even drinking booze has apparently become a major problem for the military (despite decades of taxpayer funded anti-booze policies) as before Super Bowl weekend the Naval Medical Center San Diego intimidated personnel to sign a pledge promising they wouldn’t drink booze on Super Bowl Sunday!

Last month Cristina Howe, with the Marine Corps’ Substance Abuse Counseling Center, intimated an increase in cases saying “We have a lot of command referrals that come in, but we also have a lot of self-referrals….”

It was also revealed, at the end of January, that the Defense Logistics Agency has connections with about 1-thousand manufacturers/distributors of more than 25-thousand types of drugs: “If we can’t get drugs to our overseas bases, then it affects our ability to project air power, deploy forces….The fact that they have the ability to push our vendors to make things happen is critical to the warfighting mission….”-Major Rohin Kasudia, USAF Misawa Air Base, Nippon

Militarizing the Police; official National Guard Counterdrug Schools for cops video which claims that drugs cause violence (not people, kinda like the anti-gun argument that guns, and not people, kill people) and that drug dealers are better armed than local cops (after decades of hearing that claim I have yet to see evidence of that, I remember in Junior High in late 1970s southern California we got a visit from a San Bernardino County Sheriff deputy who opened the trunk of his cop-car to reveal a footlocker type box filled with shotguns, M16s, ammo, and various types of grenades, for a short time in the 1980s my father was a San Bernardino County Reserve Sheriff deputy and confirmed that the cops, at least in San Bernardino County, out-gun any criminals or silly-vilians), where even cops from Boise, Idaho, learn how to bash in your door:

Counterdrugs schools operators (usually a local college, with counterdrugs program names varying from region to region) claims to offer free counterdrugs training to local law enforcers across the country.  Specifically it is ‘free’ to local law enforcement agencies because it is 100% funded by your taxes paid to the federal government.  Such counterdrugs schools are overwatched by the U.S. Department of Defense and the National Guard Bureau.

Last year it was revealed that the National Guard Western Regional Counterdrug Training Center, in Washington state, began training foreign cops in cooperation with U.S. Southern Command (SouthComm).  The report did not say who was paying to train-up the police coming from South American countries.

“People are addicted to this idea that you have to use tough love, let people hit rock bottom, kick it cold turkey. That works for some people. It kills others.”-Kassandra Frederique, New York State Director at the Drug Policy Alliance

25JAN2018, U.S. Coast Guard & Royal Canadian Navy proudly displays more than 47,000 pounds of cocaine in California!

U.S. Department of Transportation revealed a 77% increase in drug use by people working in the transportation industry, since 2006!  USDoT administrators admitted the numbers could be higher because their drug testing requirements have “significant gaps . . . that should be addressed.”

02FEB2018, U.S. Coast Guard offloads two tons of cocaine captured off Florida!

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) revealed that ‘offshored’ U.S. airlines maintenance facilities are exempt from drug testing for their U.S. employees.

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) reported that random drug testing revealed that the number of railroad employees addicted to drugs jumped by 43% from 2015 to 2016!  Since 2014 there’s been a sudden increase of railroad accidents involving railroad workers whacked on drugs.

National Safety Council reports that car accidents involving drugs is the main reason why accidental deaths is now the third highest cause of death in the United States!  2016 experienced the largest one-year increase in accidental deaths since 1936 (The Great Depression)!

National Survey on Drug Use and Health reported that at least 10.9-million people in the United States were addicted to opioids in 2016!

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports the number of opioid deaths in 2016 at a record 42-thousand!

In California, a National Guard sergeant blames the capitalist system for the growing number of homeless people whacked on smack: “…these people are being pushed out not because of laziness, not because they couldn’t try hard enough, but because the system is stacked against them.”-Jason Carney, Vets for the 99%

Sergeant Jason Carney says his experience living with homeless people in Sacramento revealed to him three problems driving homelessness; lack of affordable housing, lack of treatment for mental illness and how easy it is to get drugs, despite the decades of hardcore-prison-filling War on Drugs.

Last month the New York National Guard Counterdrug Task Force hosted a forum to come up with ideas about how to end the opioid crisis in The Empire State.  Even representatives of the New York Police Department blamed the current situation on the decades old War on Drugs: “I’m the living history of the failure of the drug war. The fact that I’m here dealing with the same problems that I’ve been dealing with for the past 35 years is no accident.  If we attack this in a more policy-oriented way, to prevent the involvement of the criminal justice system, not only would more treatments be available…”-Jeff Kauffman, former police officer and attorney with the New York Police Department

24 hours after the U.S. Southern Command (SouthComm) held its Opioid Summit, the U.S. state of West Virginia has activated its National Guard to attack the drug abuse epidemic overwhelming the city of Huntington, aka The Overdose Capital of the United States: “I don’t think there is a police department in America that has all the resources they need. It is a complex problem and it needed a complex solution.”-Hank Dial, Huntington Police Chief

Already state militia units took part in a drug bust involving fentanyl, a synthetic opioid far more powerful than heroin.

On 08FEB2018, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions attended the Opioid Summit, hosted by U.S. Southern Command (SouthComm).

The Department of Defense led Opioid Summit was trying to find a way to bring together healthcare organizations, local law enforcement and the military in an attempt to create a national ‘collective response’ to the record level of drug abuse in the United States, without the President having to declare Martial Law.

The pseudo-martial-law organization was referred to as the U.S. ‘interagency’.

Incomplete (i-e ‘Tip of the Iceberg’) list of U.S. Federal/State/Local Government self-destruct announcements for January 2018:

Ironic, isn’t it?

Alaska: State senator David Wilson in trouble not only for alleged sexual harassment, but for ‘retaliation’.

Alabama: After years of complaints and no action by the state Department of Public Health and Department of Environmental Management, researchers with Auburn University have declared the wellwater under Fruithurst in excess of federal EPA limits for radon and heavy metals.  It was noted that there are several illegal trash dumps in the area.   The state Attorney General ramping up training of law enforcers in how to deal with opioid overdoses.  

Arizona: State representative Don Shooter facing censure, and possible expulsion, over accusations of sexual harassment.  As a result of sexual harassment claims, state lawmakers are considering banning the consumption of alcohol within the state House.  The state militia is being attacked by the Regular Army!   The Arizona National Guard’s 1-285th Attack Reconnaissance Battalion is being shutdown by the end of 2018.

California:  Cities in the leftist liberal fascist Golden State have been passing anti-homeless people laws under the guise of fighting the Hep A outbreak.  The laws ban people from publicly sharing food!  In El Cajon 12 people were ticketed by cops for feeding homeless people! One man, interviewed by a San Diego TV station, asked the logical question ‘why doesn’t the city clean up the parks where the homeless live, instead of banning people from feeding them?’  The unAmerican Golden State will now automatically register illegal residents for the purpose of allowing them to vote, supposedly under a court order regarding driver’s licenses. Attorneys for illegal residents say anybody living in California, including those who got there illegally, are automatically “Californians”.  As many as 90% of students in the Twin Rivers Unified School District are living in poverty, now the federal government charging three taxpayer funded school workers with stealing taxpayer funded USDA food meant for those poor students!   In Orangevale, iconic Wild Sports shutting down, the owners forced to retire due to ‘big box’ and online competition coupled with California’s police-state anti-gun laws.

Colorado: Tax-sucker Northrop Grumman eliminating an additional 38 jobs (on top of the 1-hundred) due to losing a contract at Schriever Air Force Base.  In Denver, after 16 years Mile High Doggie Daycare shutdown and unable to refund money to customers who ‘pre-paid’ for services, the owners blame the lack of sales on the city’s ‘gentrification’ of the area.

This prophetic video proves the taxpayer funded War on Drugs failed a long time ago:

Delaware:  An independent review found that taxpayer funded Vaughn Correctional Center is a potential time bomb as there are not enough guards to manage the prisoners.  The prison guard union said guards are tired of working constant overtime and don’t feel safe.   New Castle County paid $1.4-million USD in overtime for emergency response calls, mainly due to opiod drug overdoses.

Florida:  The Sunshine State allows child marriages, but a new bill could stop that.  The bill was influenced by a woman who was forced to get married at age eleven!   And child marriage isn’t even one of many reasons why Florida is now considered The Worst State in the U.S.   Fluor Federal Solutions eliminating 140 taxpayer funded jobs on Naval Air Station Pensacola!

Georgia:  Mother Earth more powerful than taxpayer funded government as a rare winter storm shutdown state government offices, and local schools, across the southern Peach State.

Idaho: ‘Christian’ Gem State lawmakers supporting a bill that will expand the use of taxpayer funded prisoners in the agriculture industry!  According to Financial Condition of Idaho Agriculture federal taxpayer subsidies to Idaho farmers fell by 44% in 2017.  A study by Blue Review reveals that migrant farm workers in southwestern Idaho have a hard time getting food for their families, despite the high value of some of the crops they harvest. It also reveals Idaho’s true population growth (as I’ve been saying in other articles) is coming from migrant farm workers, U.S. citizens are actually leaving the state!  After resigning last year due to a sex crimes investigation, former state politician Brandon Hixon killed himself.

Illinois: Cook County laid off 328 people and eliminated more than 1-thousand vacant positions due to the new county budget!  As more stores are covertly shutdown under the guise of property redevelopment, dying Sears Holdings demands state taxpayers fork-over $14-million in corporate welfare ‘credits’!

Indiana: After getting $7-million USD in state tax incentives Trump’s buddy Carrier continues killing jobs, this time 215!  Supposedly it’s the last round of layoffs connected to Carrier moving some production to Mexico.

Iowa: The state Auditor and the Iowa League of Cities sounding an alarm over local government corruption and fraud affecting taxpayers in 942 cities!  

Maryland: A new survey says the piddly weekend federal government shutdown revealed that the people of Maryland are the second most dependent upon federal taxpayers.

Michigan:  West Shoreline Correctional Facility shutting down in March, 174 jobs gone due to a “significant decline in the prison population statewide”!  The implication is that either crime is way down in the economically depressed and corruptly run state, and/or residents are ‘getting the hell outta Dodge’.    In already-proven-in-court-to-be-run-by-criminals Flint: “The Flint Community High School athletic department and upper level management does not have the students’ nor the student-athletes’ best interests in mind. Specifically, in the athletic department there has been criminal neglect and incompetence on multiple occasions.   I demand that … the entire Flint administration step down immediately for the greater good of Flint schools.”-Trace Fisher, high school football coach

Minnesota:  In Wadena, after 18 years Cyber Cafe shutdown.  It was revealed that only subsidies (funding) from the local community, and government, kept it in operation, sales alone are not enough to cover operating cost. The owner also revealed competition from ever advancing social media technology played a major role in killing them off.

Mississippi: Mother Earth more powerful than taxpayer funded government as a rare winter storm shutdown state government offices, and local schools, across the normally hot and humid Magnolia State.

Missouri: Taxpayers demanding ‘the swamp’ of their own state government to be drained. There’s growing momentum behind an organization called Clean Missouri, which is pushing for the creation of a law banning lobbyist ‘gifts’ to lawmakers that are more than $5 in value.

Montana: Gov’na Steve Bullock issued an executive order creating a state level ‘net neutrality’ law regarding internet service. 

New Jersey: The city of Hackensack challenging the non-profit tax exempt status of Hackensack University Medical Center, in an attempt to impose $19-million USD in property taxes.  Since 2015 cash strapped cities have challenged the tax exempt status of more than 35 non-profit hospitals! In some cases judges ruled some non-profit hospitals are actually for-profit enterprises.

New York: State taxpayers raped of more than $10-million USD by their own state lawmakers in order to settle at least 88 cases of sex-crimes by the state government!  Does settling a sex-crimes lawsuit turn the ‘victim’ into a ‘prostitute’: 

North Carolina: Taxpayer funded defense contractor ARMA Global eliminating 99 jobs by the end of March.   After getting $475-thousand local tax dollars in incentives Absolute Plastics issued a layoff WARN eliminating 1-hundred of its 150 jobs due to crashing sales! Local politicians claim they’re trying to get the money back.

Oklahoma: In Oklahoma City, Kaiser’s Grateful Bean Cafe shutdown due to the city’s $131-million USD public transportation project, which has killed 80% of the restaurant’s business.

Pennsylvania: More proof that Philadelphia’s job killing soda-pop tax is a failure; first year tax collections are $19-million USD below what was projected.   Capital Area Transit-Cumberland-Dauphin-Harrisburg Transit Authority laid off five people and is consolidating operations to cut costs.   The largest east coast refinery, Philadelphia Energy Solutions, now bankrupt busted due to federal government imposed Renewable Energy Credit (RIN) which cost the refinery $217-million USD in 2017.

Tennessee: Oak Ridge National Laboratory laying off at least 1-hundred people, this after 232 employees were convinced to voluntarily quit!

Texas:  In San Antonio a popular restaurant, Pollos Asados Los Nortenos, was shutdown by ass-hole health inspectors who said the smoke from the grill was polluting the air, even after the restaurant owner spent $250-thousand USD to upgrade the grill to be in compliance with state laws! 50 jobs gone due to the ass-holes TCEQ and the Attorney General’s Office.

Utah: In Lehi, after 47 years iconic Porter’s Place steak joint shutdown because the city is not willing to spend $30-thousand USD to repair corroded sewer lines (the restaurant was leasing the building)!

Virginia:  In Lynchburg, after more than 1-hundred years (surviving The Great Depressions and numerous recessions) Sheard’s Beauty Shopshutdown due to new city parking rules which drive away customers: “Why would they pay to park here when they can go to the mall?”-Mamie Branham, owner

Washington DC: Despite claiming to drain the swamp, under president Trump the federal government hired a net increase of 42-thousand people in 2017, no wonder government taxsuckers demand more money!  The U.S. Department of Labor also reported that state level governments, as a whole, actually reduced their number of workers by 19-thousand.  To back up the fact that federal employees are soaking U.S. taxpayers, a new survey says the piddly weekend federal government shutdown revealed that Washington DC is the most dependent upon federal taxpayers.

“Let’s piss in his mouth.”: Dumbing Down U.S. of A., January 2018

“The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.”-George Orwell (aka Eric Arthur Blair)

 Disappearing Students Syndrome (DSS): A phrase created by me to describe a phenomenon taking place across the United States, affecting both privately and publicly funded schools, from Kindergarten all the way through University levels.

Across the United States, in metro areas taxpayers could become burdened with yet another cost of providing inadequate grade school education; housing subsidies for teachers!

The U.S. Army and the Department of Homeland Security are designing a simulation of school shooting situations for teachers.

“We can’t prevent evil, and trying to prevent it by taking away the freedom of law-abiding people is not a price our society should pay.”-HomeSchool Association of California, regarding the 13 adults and children rescued from their “Good Christian Family” home-school-hell in Perris

NBC Los Angeles on home schooling: “Alaska and Idaho have virtually no regulations, while New York and Pennsylvania families must submit annual instruction plans to the district, administer standardized tests taken by public school students statewide and provide academic progress reports.”

Incomplete (i-e Tip-o-the-Iceberg) list of publicly announced education related layoffs, shutdowns and education crimes, January 2018:

Arkansas: Trusty Elementary school could be shutdown within four years due to the outrageous costs to maintain the almost 100 years old building.

Arizona: A now former Ironwood Ridge High School assistant coach arrested for suspected sex crimes.

California: 60% of estimated 6-million students in The Golden State’s grade school system are considered poor and/or English Learners.  An Infotech employee of the privately funded Nueva School arrested for inappropriate contact with a child.  As many as 90% of students in the Twin Rivers Unified School District are living in poverty, now the federal government charging three school workers with stealing taxpayer funded USDA food meant for those poor students!  At Helix High School a female student refused to leave after being suspended, resulting in her arrest. But here’s the ironic part, police say as they were arresting her she tried to leave, i.e. escape, so she’s also facing resisting arrest charges. Things are so bad in Riverside County that Val Verde Unified School District has created its own police force!  In San Bernardino County (the largest county in the world) four school districts (Fontana, Hesperia, Apple Valley and San Bernardino) have their own police forces!  A teacher (who is also a Pico Rivera City councilmember) at El Rancho High School caught on video dissin’ students wearing clothing displaying U.S. military logos.  The cell phone video was posted on facebook by Kimberlie Flauto, at one point you hear the teacher say “Your freakin’ stupid Uncle Louie or whatever. They’re dumb shits. They’re not high-level bankers. They’re not academic people. They’re not intellectual people. They are the freaking’ lowest of our low.” regarding military personnel fighting the undeclared War on Terror.

Los Angeles Times: “A 67-year-old with two Harvard degrees and an international reputation in ophthalmology, Puliafito started using methamphetamine with a circle of prostitutes and criminals while dean of USC’s Keck School of Medicine…”  and now a suspect in the death of a drug addict’s baby.

Colorado: A Thunder Ridge High School student that obviously hasn’t learned much from being in school posted video of himself biting into a laundry detergent ‘pod’.  Hey, maybe it’s a new form of washing your mouth out with soap after using ‘foul’ language?

Florida: After being suspended for a fight at Surfside Middle School a 12 years old girl killed herself, her parents say she was being bullied and the school’s actions only made things worse. After 64 years privately funded Arlington Country Day School shutdown without warning to parents, while class was still in session!  School administrators gave no reason, but promised to refund field trip money (no mention of refunding tuition).  The cost for attending the private school is about $7-thousand USD per year per child: “She said the school was shutting down. She didn’t say why…   I am livid … It’s crazy. At this point it’s crazy!”-Venessa Balan, pissed parent

“I just assumed they were doing fine. I’ve always heard throughout the grapevine that they were doing fine, and had 300 kids. But I have no idea how many they really have because, obviously, they don’t communicate a lot with us.”-Grace Williams, operator of competing private school

Idaho: Six weeks after being hit by a massive ransomware cyberattack, the Jerome School District claims it has restored about 95% of their computer processes.  Shoshone School District hit by federal lawsuit after a 13 years old girl said she was raped in class, it was recorded on security camera video.  A woman is now suing two state lawmakers, accusing them of non-physical sexual harassment while she was a high school page in the state House.

State lawmakers hoping their new Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine will solve at least one of many deficiencies within the Idaho medical system, however, let me remind you that less than ten years ago ‘wise’ lawmakers rejected an Idaho State University  proposal to build a medical school, even after Portneuf Medical Center offered their old PMC West hospital building (located right next to the ISU campus, it was eventually torn down in 2016-17 ostensibly to make room for a VA clinic) as it was going to be shutdown anyway, and a taxpayer funded study (A Proposed Distributive Model for a Medical Degree Program) said it was sorely needed and would greatly boost the local economy!    Idaho news media boasting of record level student enrolments in taxpayer funded grade schools, however, while overall numbers are up they’re not spread evenly across The Gem State, many districts actually lost students like District 91.   Yet another report says Idaho teachers are ‘getting the hell outta Dodge’, this time the study was done by the State Department of Education itself.   In District 25 signs of religio-class warfare as rich Mormon dominated school board wants to end what it calls “student self-segregation”.

Highland High School, Pocatello

Highland High School, Pocatello.

It involves a decades old rivalry between rich-Mormon-brat-prep’s and wannabe-prep’s Highland High School and everybody else’s (including working class Mormons) Pocatello High School (aka Pokey High).

Iconic Pocatello High School

For decades parents have been able to choose which high schools to send their kids to.  District administrators now complain that Highland High is overcrowded by about 7-hundred rich-brats and/or wannabe rich brats, while Pocatello High School is disproportionately full of poor students whose parents can’t pay the outrageous yearly fees, so to ‘correct’ this “socio-economic” imbalance administrators want to end parental school choice!

Century High School

Century High School, ‘The Prison’.

Another possible covert reason for ending parental school choice is that nobody wants to send their kids to the outrageously huge and expensive and controversial Century High School (I call it The Prison because from Interstate 15 it looks like a state prison).  Several years ago the State Department of Education told District 25 there weren’t enough students to justify the state/federal funding for the school (which was built on land purchased from a relative of a school board member).   District 25 recall petition.

Illinois: Community High School District 155 threatening to shutdown the Haber Oaks Campus and relocate the remaining 90 Crystal Lake South High School student body due to at least five years of DSS (Disappearing Students Syndrome).  God powerless to stop the Archdiocese of Chicago from shutting down five schools (Saint Cyprian School, Holy Cross School, Incarnation School, Our Lady of the Ridge School, Saint Michael School)  due to The Rapture, I mean what I call DSS.  At Morgan Park High School a girl was nearly “stomped” to death for ‘liking’ a boy’s post on social media. Apparently the boy’s girlfriend doesn’t take kindly to other girls liking his posts.

Indiana: Jeffersonville High School student arrested and accused of sex crimes with 17 children.

Iowa: State lawmakers considering making passing a U.S. citizenship test a requirement to graduate high school.

Kansas: A Blue Valley Northwest High School student threatening suicide was obliged by Overland Park police who shot and killed him. Police claim he was trying to run them over with a car.  Some parents of students at Herington Elementary School stood up to christian bullying and halted the 1st Amendment violation of Bibles being forced upon public elementary school students: “The district’s actions in assisting the Gideons in distributing Bibles to elementary students represents a clear breach of the Establishment Clause of the United States Constitution and we hereby demand assurances that this practice will discontinue immediately.”-Appignani Humanist Legal Center

Kentucky:  The state Public School Commissioner condemned the Cordia School building, forcing it to shutdown by February.  A new state law allows taxpayer funded public schools to violating the federal 1st Amendment by using taxpayer funds to pay for Bible/christian classes! 

Louisiana: A teacher was arrested after questioning why the Vermilion Parish School Board gave the superintendent a $30-thousand USD taxpayer funded pay raise, when teachers and other school employees have gone without a pay raise for years: “I feel like it’s a slap in the face for the teachers, the cafeteria workers or any other support staff we have.”-Deyshia Hargrave

Maryland:  The ‘bomb cyclone’ that hit the east coast revealed that more than 60 Baltimore area schools had no functioning heating system!  In Rockville:  “Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) has received multiple reports from community members that one or more individuals is posting inappropriate content on a private social media platform, including nude images of MCPS students.”

Massachusetts: Leftist liberal globalist Harvard Kennedy School is attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, alongside President Donald Trump.   Boston Public Schools accused of sharing immigrant student info with ICE.

Michigan: East Michigan University eliminating 60 jobs due to being short by as much as $5.5-million USD, partly caused by lack of students.  In already-proven-in-court-to-be-run-by-criminals Flint: “The Flint Community High School athletic department and upper level management does not have the students’ nor the student-athletes’ best interests in mind. Specifically, in the athletic department there has been criminal neglect and incompetence on multiple occasions.   I demand that … the entire Flint administration step down immediately for the greater good of Flint schools.”-Trace Fisher, high school football coach

Minnesota: Fridley High School engaged in censorship when they edited out a student’s shirt from a school pic.  The shirt read Deport Racists.  It’s been revealed that the 77-acre Duluth Central High School property still hasn’t been sold, the school was shutdown six years ago.  Doesn’t that make you happy taxpayers happy?  Police investigating claims of sex crimes between a Grand Blanc Community Schools employee and a now former high school student, police refused to give any more info.

Missouri: You can now claim a tax deduction for your private school payment, further hurting tax funding for public schools.  Gov’na Eric Greitens wants lawmakers to extend a taxpayer funded college scholarship program for graduates of taxpayer funded high schools to graduates of privately funded high schools.

New Mexico: Nationally recognized teen NanoForm inventors get kicked out of their Taos Middle School lab, with no explanation.  Their invention sponsor said the school principal wanted them out.  Some state lawmakers want to join the police-state-school system by forcing taxpayers to spend between $25-million and $60-million USD to turn the Public Education Department into its own police force.

New York: As a fine example of where education priorities are with students, a New Dorp High School cheerleader wants 500k tweets so she can meet the Mets for prom!  At least 16 school districts actively engage in School Lunch Shaming of students whose parents can’t pay the lunch bill!   A now former Olean High School special ed teacher, along with his mother, is charged with welfare fraud.  A female New School for Leadership and the Arts teacher pled not-guilty to sex crimes with a 14 years old student.  Local news media described the teacher as “booze loving”.  God powerless to stop the shutdown of ‘his’ 94 years old (surviving The Great Depression and numerous recessions) Saint John Villa Academy, apparently god needs money because The Sisters are conducting a study to see how much money would be made from selling the school.  In Bronx-NYC, at Public School X811 a drug addict was found dead in the school toilet room, he wasn’t a student he was one of the teachers!!!

Ohio: In Stark County, Perry Local School District dealing with the suicides of six students. 

Oregon: A contract worker ripped down Immigrant Welcome signs at taxpayer funded River Road/El Camino del Rio Elementary School.  The worker was fired, but district administrators admitted the signs are too political and will not replace them.  Seaside Heights Elementary janitor accused of sex crimes with students.

Pennsylvania: Scranton School Board laying off 51 teachers and all librarians!  School administrators swear student access to the libraries will continue.  Pleasant Valley School District under investigation for using a vending machine equipped with a wi-fi camera to spy on teachers in the break room, for the purpose of extorting them, the district’s supervisor of support staff already arrested.

Rhode Island: The female principal of Harry Kizirian Elementary School accused of knowing about, and failing to report within 24 hours, sex crimes involving a gym teacher and fifth graders.  In 2016 the state law regarding the reporting of sex crimes was changed, and the principal claims she was unaware of the change.

South Carolina: In a fine example of lack of leadership intelligence resulting in taxpayer ripoffs, Berkeley County School District filed a federal lawsuit against an insurance company claiming that for the past 16 years it sold the school district $14.2-million USD in worthless insurance policies.  Taxpayers should sue the school district for signing onto, and paying for, those insurance policies!

Tennessee: A teenage girl arrested for killing another teenage girl from Glencliff High School, by accident, during a burglary spree the girls were involved in.  In a statement the arrested teen said a gun they were using during the burglaries accidentally went off.   It’s been revealed that it is a crime to be a barber in Tennessee without graduating high school! One requirement to get a barber’s license is that you must be a high school graduate, but a crimewave of fake barber’s licenses reveals a failure of the taxpayer funded grade school system. 

Texas: Houston based Parker School Uniforms now chapter 7 bankrupt busted, local news reports say all 320 employees were laid off without warning and without final pay!  Houston Independent School District warning of calamity due to new state funding requirements, crashing student enrollments and local tax revenues.  Texas school districts caught violating voting laws by using taxpayer funded school buses to transport voting aged students and employees to polling stations to vote on issues affecting education: “This is the first time this behavior has occurred. That’s why it’s different and needs to be commented on. It needed to be stopped before it got out of hand.”-Paul Bettencourt, state senator

Vermont: Rochester School shutting down at the end of the school year, it’s down to just three high school students.  Parents are concerned because they have no way to drive their kids to the nearest school, after the shutdown.  News media report that the state is experiencing a yearly decline of about 1-thousand-3-hundred students!

Virginia: Exalted state lawmakers finally admit their garde school system is nothing more than a ‘school-to-prison pipeline’.  In one example an eighth grade student was ‘arrested’, suspended and sent to juvenile court after a school cop accused him a stealing a 65 cent carton of milk, which turned out to be part of the student’s free lunch due to his family’s low income!  Lawmakers claim they will now change current laws which requires school principals to report specific misdemeanor ‘offenses’ to police.  In 2015, the Center for Public Integrity stated that Virginia has the highest rate of students being sent to police/juvenile courts in the country.  A 2016 Virginia Tech study discovered that students with disabilities, and ‘black’ students, were disproportionately more likely to be suspended or expelled from grade schools.

Washington: After years of courtroom battles, Washington Inter-scholastic Activities Association (WIAA) and a former high school coach settled a defamation lawsuit.  The coach was suspended for two years when Bellevue High School accused him of violating WIAA rules.  The coach is not seeking money in his lawsuit, instead he wants changes to WIAA rules. His lawsuit against the high school continues.

Wisconsin: God powerless to stop ‘his’ Saint Gregory Catholic School from shutting down due to lack of students, apparently they’re unable to meet the minimum of 20 students required for next school year.

Wyoming: Wrestlers at Kelly Walsh High School are facing accusations of waterboarding a teammate, even allegedly saying “Let’s piss in his mouth.”

Incomplete list of healthcare related layoffs and shutdowns, announced in January 2018:

So much for hi-tech security, 5.6-million patient records were illegally accessed online during during 477 incidents in 2017!

Kansas: A whistleblower accusing Wichita based Christi Health of ripping off federal taxpayers by forcing Medicare patients to undergo unnecessary procedures. Turns out the lawsuit was filed in 2016, but only now is it being made public.
