    Iranian Immigrant and Entrepreneur: “I Recommend Every Parent Consider Taking Their Kids Out of Public Schools” (VIDEO)

    Patrick Bet-David is an author and entrepreneur with a story of the American dream.  He immigrated to America when he was 10 years old when his parents fled Iran as refugees during the Iranian revolution.  After receiving U.S. citizenship, Bet-David  joined the military where he served in the 101st Airborne. After leaving the military, he began a career in the financial services industry before launching his own venture,  PHP Agency Inc., an insurance sales, marketing and distribution company.
    On a recent podcast, Bet-David shared his reasoning for why parents should remove their children from the public school system.
    Bet-David shares:
    I recommend every parent consider taking their kids out of public schools and putting it (them) in private schools or home schooling if you can afford it.
    English teachers…out of 100 teachers in America, 97 were Democrats, 3 were Republicans in public school.
    Health teachers in America, out of 100, 99 Democrats, 1 Republican.
    Math and Science teachers. Out of 100, based on contributions, 87 Democrat, 13 Republican.
    That is a monopoly. It’s not a 50/50, okay.
    Private schools are not 80% Republican, 70% Republican or 60% Republican.
    They’re still 60% Democrat. Because most teachers are not making enough money where their policies would be policies to vote on maybe on one side.
    60% of teachers in private schools are still Democrats, but it’s a little bit more of a balance situation.

    Prior Verdant Labs past research showed political leanings based on contributions.
    Image: Verdant Labs
     
    Verdan Labs reports, “This analysis is possible because the Federal Election Commission (FEC) provides data that reveals who made what contribution to which political campaign, when they contributed, how much they contributed, what they call their occupation, and other info. We aggregated that data and applied a simple formula for each occupation. A caveat with this methodology is that we assume Democrats and Republicans contribute at a similar rate to each other within each profession. In other words, we assume that a 75 / 25 split of contributions by Democratic teachers vs. Republican teachers translates to a 75 / 25 split of Democrat vs. Republican teachers in the general populace. If it’s actually the case that, say, Republican teachers are looser with their wallets and have a higher per capita contribution rate, our ratio for that profession will be a bit skewed. Thus, the ratios should be viewed as approximate.”

  • Potty-Mouthed Buttigieg Has Hissy Fit Over East Palestine Critics: “You think Tucker Carlson knows the difference between a T.J. Maxx and a Kohl’s?”

    Potty-Mouthed Buttigieg Has Hissy Fit Over East Palestine Critics: “You think Tucker Carlson knows the difference between a T.J. Maxx and a Kohl’s?”

    Biden Transportation Secretary Pete “I’m Taking Some Personal Time” Buttigieg, in an interview with CNN published Sunday, lashed out critics of his handling of the toxic train wreck in East Palestine, Ohio last month, swearing and accusing them of being out of touch East Coast elites as he defended wearing designer dress boots to tour the derailment scene.

    Buttigieg in East Palestine, Ohio, February 23, 2023, pool photo.
    Buttigieg singled out President Trump and Fox News Channel prime time host Tucker Carlson in his hissy fit interview with CNN, even swearing at one point (excerpt):
    “It’s really rich to see some of these folks – the former president, these Fox hosts – who are literally lifelong card-carrying members of the East Coast elite, whose top economic policy priority has always been tax cuts for the wealthy, and who wouldn’t know their way around a T.J. Maxx if their life depended on it, to be presenting themselves as if they genuinely care about the forgotten middle of the country,” the Transportation Secretary said. “You think Tucker Carlson knows the difference between a T.J. Maxx and a Kohl’s?”
    …The secretary visited East Palestine a day after former President Donald Trump went to the town, calling out President Joe Biden for not having made his own visit and slamming the administration’s response.
    Trump’s visit, Buttigieg said, was “somewhat maddening – to see someone who did a lot try to gut not just rail safety regulations, but the EPA, which is the number one thing standing between that community and a total loss of accountability for Norfolk Southern and then show up giving out bottled water and campaign swag?”
    …As for any suggestion from Trump or supporters that the former president’s trip to East Palestine pressured him to go: “That’s bull—-,” Buttigieg said. “We were already going to go.”

    These boots are made for stomping. Buttigieg got emotional when his choice of footwear for his visit to East Palestine was mentioned:
    The attention to the boots Buttigieg wore when he visited a day later, he said, was also “maddening.”
    His voice got tighter.
    “Who cares what shoes I was wearing, when I was there to draw attention to an agenda that will save lives on our railroads?” Buttigieg said.

    During his trip to East Palestine, Trump bought meals for police and firemen at the local McDonald’s, telling the cashier, ““Do I know this menu better than you do? Probably know it better than anybody in here.”

    Carlson called for Buttigieg to be fired last month.

    CNN noted the Biden administration is standing by their man:
    “Buttigieg doesn’t have to worry about getting fired – “whether it’s sickening attacks on his family or disrespecting a community’s pain with failed attempts at exploitation as a political prop, nothing saps credibility like following debunked smears with even more debunked smears,” said White House spokesman Andrew Bates.”
    Buttigieg’s husband Chasten Buttigieg, defended Secretary Pete by attacking Tucker Carlson last month over a 1991 college yearbook caption that resurfaced in April 2021.

    Carlson has not denied the yearbook caption, but downplayed it when it was about to be reported.

    “We Will Pick Them Up, and We Will Throw Them Out of Our Country” – Trump Lays Out His Mass Deportation Plan if Elected Again (VIDEO)

    President Trump delivered a fiery speech at CPAC 2023 in National Harbor, Maryland on Saturday evening.
    Trump won the straw poll overwhelmingly earlier in the day with 62% support. The second-place finisher Governor Ron DeSantis had 20% support.
    The former president opened his speech by calling out Karl Rove, Paul Ryan and other toxic RINOs.
    Trump: “when we started this journey, a journey like there has never been before. There’s never been anything like this. We had a Republican Party that was ruled by freaks, neocons, globalists, open-border zealots, and fools. We are never going back to the party of Paul Ryan, Karl Rove and Jeb Bush.”
    Trump also laid out his mass deportation plan if elected again.
    “Under my leadership, we will use all necessary state, local, federal and military resources to carry out the largest domestic deportation operation in American history,” Trump said.
    “We will pick them up, and we will throw them out of our country and there will be no questions asked,” he said.

    Portly Hillary Clinton Appears on Stage with Pete Buttigieg at Clinton Global Initiative U Conference (VIDEO)

    Hillary, is that you?
    Hillary Clinton looked almost unrecognizable while in Nashville for a Clinton Global Initiative U conference on Saturday.
    Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg joined Hillary on stage to discuss the political climate ahead of the next presidential election.

    Clinton and Buttigieg defended the Biden Regime’s lack of urgency following the train derailment and toxic disaster in East Palestine, Ohio.
    “There was a federal response in the first few hours,” Buttigieg said.
    Buttigieg claimed he has been wrongly criticized by people who “are trying to create problems instead of solving them.”
    Hillary Clinton laughed.
    “I know a little bit about receiving criticism,” Hillary said.
    We sure dodged a bullet.
    One of Trump’s greatest accomplishments was keeping Hillary Clinton out of the White House.

  • Spate of Whale Strandings Near Offshore Wind Projects Becoming Impossible to Ignore – But Feds Still Deny Link

    Spate of Whale Strandings Near Offshore Wind Projects Becoming Impossible to Ignore – But Feds Still Deny Link

    It seems as if the left’s “green energy” initiatives that are meant to be environmentally friendly are actually doing more harm to the environment than good.
    Whales are being stranded on American beaches that just so happen to be near offshore wind projects, leading many to believe that these projects are actually causing these deadly strandings.
    According to Fox Business, however, federal agencies such as the Marine Mammal Commission are denying any link between the strandings and the offshore wind projects, despite previous warnings from the National Ocean Atmospheric Association (NOAA).
    In May 2022, NOAA scientist Sean Hayes wrote a memo stating that “the development of offshore wind poses risks to these species [whales]” and that “these risks occur at varying stages, including construction and development, and include increased noise, vessel traffic, habitat modifications, water withdrawals associated with certain substations.”
    Meanwhile, lawmakers and scientists have been calling on the federal and state governments to pass a moratorium on offshore wind projects pending an investigation into whether these deaths are caused by these projects.
    Several people have taken to Twitter to express their disgust at the leftist hypocrisy and silence regarding this issue.
    Former New Jersey congressional candidate Steve Gray wrote, ” Where are the environmentalists? No outrage. No protests against a Democrat led Government backing offshore windmills. The hypocrisy is deafening. 14 dead whales and counting.”

    NJ beaches have become a grave yard for humpback whales. Where are the environmentalists? No outrage. No protests against a Democrat led Government backing offshore windmills. The hypocrisy is deafening. 14 dead whales and counting. Resign or do something @GovMurphy pic.twitter.com/Ej0IPU7fFE
    — Steve Gray (@SteveGrayNJ4) March 3, 2023

    Meanwhile, another Twitter user wrote that plans for the wind turbines “may wipe out whales forever.”

    — Brett Alexander (@Brett1Alexander) March 2, 2023

    The first major irony in all of this is the fact that it is whales who are the ones being adversely affected by these projects.
    For decades, leftists and environmentalists have held up whales as a sacred symbol of environmentalism and launched campaigns aimed at “saving the whales”, and produced several films with the same message.
    Now, it seems as if these same environmentalists are disregarding the lives of the very creatures that they claimed to care so much about as their initiatives could potentially be doing massive harm to them.
    Also, we need to point out that wind energy is constantly being marketed by the left as an environmentally-friendly alternative to fossil fuels, with many leftist governments wanting to make a complete shift to alternative energy.
    Of course, there is the fact that these alternative energy sources have been shown time and time again to be completely unreliable.
    But there is also the added fact that as this spate of whale deaths shows, alternative energy is not the environmentally-friendly alternative that environmentalists claim that they are.
    In addition to the danger that they are posing to whales, they have also been shown to be harmful to other endangered and protected animals.
    This begs the question, if the left claims to care so much about the environment, then why are they ignoring the fact that endangered animals are dying as a result of these initiatives?

    JUST IN: Presidential Candidate Who’s Never Held a Political Office Beats Out Nikki Haley and Mike Pence For Third Place In CPAC Straw Poll

    100 Percent Fed Up reports – This afternoon, CPAC attendees voted for the person they would choose to be the next Republican Presidential candidate if the election were held today.
    Perry Johnson, billionaire businessman and Republican candidate for President of the United States
    President Donald Trump got a whopping 62% of the vote from the CPAC attendees. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who did not attend the conservative gathering, got 20% of the vote. But it was the relatively unknown billionaire businessman from Michigan, Perry Johnson, whose never held a political office, stunned the pundits when he took third place in the poll ahead of the former S. Carolina Governor Nikki Haley and former Vice President Mike Pence.

    Here’s a closeup of the top vote-getters, which shows Perry Johnson taking 5% of the votes and former S. Carolina Governor Nikki Haley coming in fourth place with only 3% of the vote. :

    Johnson tweeted about his incredible third-place victory, where he was a “WRITE IN” candidate who beat out a crowd of well-known Republican candidates, including former VP Mike Pence and the current, popular Republican governor of Virginia, Glenn Youngkin.

    I am honored to have placed third as a write-in candidate @CPAC, earning the votes of conservatives with my common sense #TwoCents Plan! We CAN keep the American Dream alive, reignite the economy and tame runaway inflation, and that is exactly what I intend to do. https://t.co/a9COwJoBqf
    — Perry Johnson (@PJQualityGuru) March 4, 2023

    I spoke with some of Johnson’s campaign staff who said the billionaire politician spent the past two days “working the crowds” and “speaking with as many CPAC guests as possible” about his plan to put America back on track, with an eye on reducing the deficit and stopping inflation.

    Perry Johnson told the CPAC crowd that he’s “probably too conservative” for them, adding that he is “pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, pro-family, pro-freedom and anti-China!”
    Watch:

    ICYMI: My speech at @CPAC yesterday really fired up the crowd! And do you know why? Because with my #TwoCents Plan to Save America, we’ll #FireBiden, tame runaway inflation, and make life affordable for Americans once again.
    Watch my speech below! pic.twitter.com/sAiu7hzW3J
    — Perry Johnson (@PJQualityGuru) March 3, 2023

    The successful billionaire businessman recently released a new book, “Two Cents to Save America,” which outlines a comprehensive plan to save the American economy. Johnson’s book is available on Amazon.

    In case you missed it, Johnson ran an impressive “Quality Guru” ad during the Super Bowl promoting his bid for the next GOP presidential candidate:

    My Super Bowl ad is here! Have you seen it? My #TwoCent plan to save America from @JoeBiden & @AOC’s reckless spending is simple. Our fat, bloated gov’t is making everyday living unaffordable, but if we cut just 2% of our discretionary spending, our nation will be back on track! pic.twitter.com/QAq9HKIRoI

    “Quality guru” and successful billionaire businessman Perry Johnson, who resides in Michigan, was a frontrunner in the 2022 GOP primary race for MI governor until he was disqualified after it was discovered that his required nominating petition contained fraudulent signatures. Johnson, one of the top two candidates in the race, was one of five Republicans whose nominating petitions had fraudulent signatures.
    Unfortunately, his campaign strategist John Yob, who’s been in the business for decades, hired a felon with a previous record of obtaining fake signatures for candidates to gather signatures for Johnson’s campaign. John Yob is currently serving as Perry Johnson’s presidential campaign strategist.

    Michigan’s dirty Democrat SOS Jocelyn Benson’s Bureau of Elections, headed by Jonathan Brater, knew about the fraudulent signatures for quite some time but waited until it was too late for the campaign to gather replacement signatures before informing the campaigns of the issue.
