East Palestine, Ohio toxic chemical explosion and fire.
Amanda Breshears found all of her chickens and rooster dead following the “controlled” release of the toxic chemicals in East Palestine, Ohio last week.
Amanda lives 10 miles away. She found all of her chickens dead the morning after the mushroom cloud explosion.

WKBN reported:
People across the Mahoning Valley — including those who live in Mahoning and Trumbull counties — reported smelling chlorine after Monday’s controlled release in East Palestine. Officials said it wasn’t dangerous, but one North Lima woman is skeptical about that statement.
Even though North Lima is a little more than 10 miles away from East Palestine, Amanda Breshears said the smell caused her eyes to water when she went to let her dog out. She believes it could be the reason why her birds are now dead.
Breshears was going to feed her five hens and rooster Tuesday morning when she discovered them all lifeless, practically in the same position, with no signs of a predator entering their enclosure.
“I’m beyond upset and quite panicked, ’cause this, they may be just chickens, but they’re family,” she said.
Breshears said her chickens were alive and well on Monday.
She believes that the smell following the detonation of the train carrying chemicals that derailed in East Palestine is to blame for her birds’ sudden death.

Every time there is a shooting, Democrats rush to infringe on the rights of the law abiding citizens who didn’t do it.
The case of the shooting at Michigan State University is no different.
And because Democrats in Michigan gained more power in the 2022 midterms, they plan to use it.
The Washington Examiner reports:
Michigan Democrats move to expedite new gun laws after MSU shooting
Michigan Democrats are looking to expedite new gun control laws after the mass shooting at Michigan State University.
Democrats won the two state legislatures in the 2022 midterm elections, giving them control of the three major seats of power in the state. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) won reelection as well.
The party now has the opportunity to push through gun control legislation that has been stonewalled by hesitant Republicans. Monday’s mass shooting at Michigan State University gives them an opportunity to hurry the legislation through the legislature.
“We’re going to try to move faster. After years of not getting an inch, now we’re making real plans,” Democratic state Sen. Rosemary Bayer told Politico.
“Some of the legislation we have goes back 10 years,” she added. “We just haven’t been able to get any traction to do anything.”
She went on to give a schedule of the new legislation, but she said the party should act earlier.
“We had a schedule that we’re trying to move up even more. We were targeting right after the first week of April, that’s what we were planning for, but we want to respond quicker,” Bayer said.
All the usual suspects are calling for more gun control.

The grifter @shannonrwatts can’t even wait an hour before injecting politics into a tragedy. And she’s already fundraising. Sickening.

If someone tells you there’s nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them:
— Gun laws in other countries have stopped mass shootings
— More guns don’t make us safer
— A majority of Americans want gun control
We don’t have to live like this.

Samuel Armes
Back in July 2018, Liz Cheney and the January 6 Committee called in Samuel Armes to testify. Armes is a young college grad who just started his professional career in Florida.
The J6 Committee called in Armes after Erika Flores told the shame anti-Trump committee that Armes told her to pass on his “1776 Returns” document to Enrique Tarrio, Flores’s  love interest who Armes had met at least two times.
Flores already told the committee that Armes, who was being groomed by the FBI and CIA while in school, told her to pass the insurrection document on to Enrique Tarrio.
There is NO EVIDENCE that Tarrio ever looked at the document.  There is NO EVIDENCE that the Proud Boys studied the document.
And there is NO EVIDENCE that the Proud Boys used any of the tactics that Armes wrote about in the document on January 6.
On Monday Cara Castronuova reported on the explosive news that a love interest sent Enrique Tarrio the incriminating “1776 Returns” document at the behest of Samuel Armes.
GOVERNMENT ENTRAPMENT: Proud Boys Set Up! Love Interest Sent Enrique Tarrio Incriminating “1776 Returns” Document at the Behest of FBI-DOJ Before January 6! – NEW INFORMATION REVEALS DOCUMENT WAS AUTHORED BY US GOVERNMENT ITSELF!

And Julie Kelly at American Greatness filled in the details in Monday post on Armes and the Proud Boys Trial.
https://amgreatness.com/2023/02/13/did-a-government-intel-asset-plant-key-evidence-in-proud-boys-case/
During his testimony, Samuel Armes admitted he was being groomed by the FBI and CIA.
Samuel Armes: I went to the University of South Florida, and I got a degree in international finance, economics, and intel studies, which was part of a program at USF. I was being groomed to work for the CIA and the FBI.
J^ Committee: Did you ever end up working for either of those agencies?
Samuel Armes: Not formally, but I’ve done work for the State Department and for United States Special Operations Command out of MacDill Air Force Base, which is in Tampa…
(…)
Mr. Armes. So, when I was at USF and I was being groomed to be in the CIA, FBI, or any intel agencies, a lot of what we did was wargaming exercises. Are you familiar with wargames?
J6 Committee: Yes.
Mr. Armes. Yeah. So I would often go through day courses where we would wargame different scenarios as a part of my college education. And that actually is partially what served me at SOCOM. So at SOCOM —
(…)
J6 Committee: Okay. And just a quick clarification. When you say “getting groomed” to be part of the CIA, FBI, what do you mean by that?
Mr. Armes. Yeah, I don’t know what a better term would be, but —
Ms. Santos. Trained.
Mr. Armes. Trained. Yeah, I guess trained.
Ms. Santos. Educated.
Mr. Armes. Yeah.
Ms. Santos. Trained and educated through the university program.
Mr. Armes. And my mentor. So the goal was to do everything that I was doing and then, by the time I graduated, actually move to D.C. and work for one of the intel agencies.
Armes then admits to authoring a document, later titled the “1776 Returns” attack plan, that he started after the release of the highly organized and controversial Transition Integrity Project document.
The Transition Integrity Project (TIP) was organized by deep state operatives, intel officials and campaign leaders who met for several meetings and for some reason warned about “a high
degree of likelihood that November’s elections will be marked by a chaotic legal and political landscape. We also assess that President Trump is likely to contest the result by both legal and extra-legal means, in an attempt to hold onto power.
It was uncanny how the TIP officials knew about the controversial election to come and the likelihood that Americans would be upset to see an election stolen from the people!
Mr. Armes: So, given my education and kind of everything that I’ve discussed, I had really watched heavily the riots in the U.S., especially during COVID, the pandemic, as well as, you know, riots from the left and the right. And given my working background, I saw the release of the TIP document, the Transition Integrity Project document, in August, and upon seeing that and given my prior knowledge of just how these things play out, I began tinkering with a Google document on my own, just what I thought might happen in a worst-case scenario based off of that document that was released by TIP.
Note that Armes talked about “riots by the right” during COVID that never happened.
Armes then ties his insurrection document to the Terry Shiavo case which makes no sense and is further proof that the intel communities are lacking in capable thinkers.
Armes then told the committee he believed Trump was “an unpredictable character”
Mr. Armes: A So I want to say it was almost neither of those. The practical viewpoint I was looking at is, what if there is just any kind of scenario where you just didn’t know who was in charge? What would happen if, from election day to 2 weeks out, we didn’t know who the President was?
And, given that we know the former President was a very unpredictable character, certainly one of my thoughts was, what if he just doesn’t leave, right? I mean, there were multiple options, right?
But my viewpoint of the document was simply, how are people going to take advantage of the situation? Because I think, in times of chaos, you have radical parties that actually don’t care about what the actual circumstances are; they just view it as an opportunity to push forward their agenda, right? So that was kind of what I was thinking of. Yeah.
And I saw that happen in riots before in the U.S. and throughout 2020, where, you know, people really weren’t sure what was going on, and so you saw people take to the streets, do a variety of things that were obviously unlawful. And by the time we figured out what was true and what wasn’t, you know, buildings had already been destroyed or, you know, people’s lives had already been affected.
So that was kind of my frame of reference. I tried to be as agnostic as possible in my line of thinking to try to avoid any, like, internal bias. Does that give you any clarity?
Samuel Armes then told the J6 Committee that he was “shocked” that the document was used as a “terroristic document” on January 6.
Mr. Armes: So I had told her (Erika Flores) that I was kind of brainstorming what I think might happen, and she seemed interested. And she asked if she could see it, and I said sure.
And so I ended up sharing it with her on a Google Drive. And after that, I thought nothing of it. I would’ve never imagined that it turned into the document that I was shown last week, would’ve had zero clue, zero idea. I mean, it’s pretty horrifying to think that that document was even used and actually took from what I had written, which — obviously, you know, it’s horrific for me to even imagine that something that I would’ve written would’ve been used to source this kind of, like — I guess call it “terroristic document,” right, if I want to be nice about it. But, you know, never in a million years.
And because that was never my frame of reference, when I shared it with Erika, I completely forgot about it. So, until you called me, I didn’t even think that I would even be in the situation that we are today where I’m talking to you about something that I wrote and forgot about up until now.
Samuel Armes admitted to meeting Enrique Tarrio a couple of times.
J6 Committee: Do you know Enrique Tarrio at all, like, personally?
Mr. Armes: I want to say, personally, I’ve met him maybe twice. And that was because Erika had a lot of men that she was pursuing in boyfriend relationships. I wasn’t sure what their relationship was, but it was actually a very contentious thing in the Miami community.
So sometimes I would go to do work in Miami, I would meet up with Erika, and there was a time when Enrique was there with her. Ran into other people as well. She did add him to this Telegram group of all the crypto/blockchain people in Miami, and he would talk in that group.
But certainly not a friend of mine. Was never interested in pursuing any kind of a relationship, as I was pretty familiar with what he stands for and represented, so I kept my distance. But I was never entirely sure how close he was with Erika. So, obviously, given the situation, a lot closer than I had ever presumed —
Now we hit pay dirt in the questioning.
Erika Flores testified that Samuel Armes TOLD HER to send the 1776 Returns document to Enrique Tarrio!
Samuel Armes denies this and says she is blame-shifting.
He’s quite a guy.
J6 Committee: So my next question to you was going to be: Do you have any idea why Ms. Flores would tell us that you wrote “1776 Returns” and that you asked her to send it to Mr. Tarrio?
Mr Armes: I guess she’s just blame-shifting. I mean, she’s just throwing me under the bus for a document that — and I don’t know if she even authored the document. All I know is that I shared stuff that I had written, material that I had written with her. I don’t know who even created the “1776” document. All I know is that I shared it with her.
So she probably — I mean, I don’t know if this is — I’m extrapolating. But on the end point, right — because I originated this idea in my mind of what I think might happen.
And, obviously, given that I’ve now seen this, she took my ideas as an inspiration, and her or some group of people then turned it into “1776 Returns.”
And that’s why I can confidently say I’ve never seen this document in my life. It uses stuff that I talked about, but even the name, I’ve never even heard of the name, right? So, yeah, I’m just a scapegoat, I guess is the best way to word it.
The Biden DOJ is using the “1776 Returns” document to build a flimsy case against the Proud Boys and indirectly against President Trump.
So who do you believe?
Erika Flores or FBI-groomed Samuel Armes?

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has said in a statement that the agency intercepted rare insects in a shipment of fresh celery at the Otay Mesa Cargo Facility.
The find is a first-in-port discovery.
According to a press release from CBP, the fresh celery shipment arrived at the Otay Mesa Cargo Facility on January 16.
“During initial inspection, a CBP Officer referred the driver and cargo load for an intensive agriculture inspection,” the statement said. “At the inspection area, CBP Agriculture Specialists conducted thorough examinations and found one live chrysomelidae and one live lepidoptera within the shipment of celery.”
Upon finding the rare pests, the shipment was turned around and sent back to Mexico.
“The pest was submitted to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) Identifiers for further identification,” CBP said. “The traveler and shipment were then returned directly to Mexico.”
Two days after the initial stop, on January 18, the lepidoptera was identified by the local USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) PPQ Entomologist as actionable Copitarsia species. The chrysomelidae was later identified by national specialists as actionable Isotes multipunctate (Jacoby), according to the press release.
The CBP said that “per local USDA APHIS PPQ, this qualifies as a ‘first-in-port’ for Isotes multipunctate (Jacoby) in the Otay Mesa Cargo Facility.”
“Although this not the first time finding this pest nationwide, it is a first-time discovery of this pest at the Otay Mesa Port of Entry. The impressive find demonstrates CBP’s efforts to prevent invasive species from entering the United States, and ways for industry to prevent conveyance contamination. CBP encourages travelers to declare all agricultural items to a CBP officer upon arrival. For more information, travelers are encouraged to visit the Bringing Agricultural Products into the United States section of the CBP website.”
Foreign pests can be extremely harmful to local agriculture.
“Foreign insects, plant and animal diseases, and invasive plants, can be harmful to United States agriculture. It is an important part of the CBP mission to identify and stop pests and diseases at the border prior to entering the country,” said Rosa Hernandez, CBP Otay Mesa Port Director.

Vicki Derderian (Source: Today Show)
A mother of two from Victoria, Australia was denied the chance to undergo a lifesaving heart transplant because she refused to receive the COVID-19 shot, despite having a medical exemption.
On Sunday, Vicki Derderian and her husband John, appeared on Karl Stefanovic’s Today Show on Channel Nine to address how the government and doctors had denied her access to life-saving treatment.
After suffering heart failure in 2020, Vicki Derderian was forced to rely on a Ventricular Assist Device (VAD) in order to keep blood circulating throughout her body.
“Back in 2020, I had a very severe heart failure, which at the time my organs started shutting down. So I wasn’t ready for a transplant back then. So the only choice for me at that time was to go on a ventricular assist device, which is a mechanical pump that pumps blood throughout the body because my heart couldn’t,” Derderian told Channel 9’s Today Show.
“In order for me to do that, I had to undergo a very difficult procedure because these machines were inserted surgically. I was in intensive care for one and a half months. I was on life support because I couldn’t breathe. After being discharged from intensive care, I spent another three months in the hospital and also rehabilitation,” she continued.
Because of her heart condition, Ms. Derderian, who claimed that she is not an anti-vaxxer, stated that she had to “think twice” about receiving the vaccine. She fears that the experimental COVID-19 shot will make her situation even worse.
“I need to make this clear. I’m not an anti-vaxxer. I have taken all the necessary vaccinations to be as my work up towards heart transplant. But when it came to COVID-19, reading up on all the information and also knowing about my condition, I wanted to minimize risk as much as possible. Because, as you know, a heart transplant is not a walk-in-the-park operation. It’s very complicated and it has a lot of risks. And to face those risks on top of an unknown risk from a vaccination that has had partial approval, I had to think twice and it’s a very hard decision,” she said.
Derderian said she was told “no jab, no heart” by Victoria’s Department of Health and Human Services when they denied her access to the life-saving heart surgery.
She claimed that doctors had refused to treat her due to vaccination requirements that were being imposed by the government of Victoria.
“The hospital stance at the moment is no jab, no heart. I’m ready to be on the heart transplant list because medically I’m stable to be on it. But unfortunately, because of these mandates, it has interfered with patient-doctor relationships.”
“Patients like myself, we’re being pushed into a corner and coerced to take something that goes against what we believe in. Or not receive lifesaving treatment. And also for doctors as well, they are forced to implement this on their patients otherwise they’ll lose their jobs,” she continued.
Dr. Nick Coatsworth, a former Deputy Chief Health Officer, has stated that while he understands Ms. Derderian’s situation, he “stands by the rules.”
“From a transplant physician’s point of view… the biggest risk to you when we hit your immune system like that if you get Covid-19 without having the vaccine, then there’s a really significant risk that you’ll die and that organ will die with you,” Dr. Coatsworth said.
“And we don’t want that to happen to you and we certainly don’t want it to happen to the family who made that sacred donation. So it is such a complex area. I don’t envy your decision, but I do stand by the rules of the transplant physicians have made here,” he continued.
Host Karl Stefanovic interrupted and asked the doctor, “So Nick, doctors are now deciding not to treat someone because of the chance of getting COVID-19 in a hospital, are we stopping treating people now?”
“On the contrary, Karl,” Dr. Coatsworth responded. “This is an active treatment decision by the medical community. This hasn’t changed during COVID-19.
“I know there’s a lot of greys in Covid-19 Karl, a lot of greys. You and I discussed them last week on this show. This is black and white. Unfortunately, we have to try and convince people like Vicki and John, we’ve got to do our best to convince them. If we fail ultimately, that means the organ isn’t transplanted.”
Dr. Coatsworth advised Ms. Derderian to think again about having the vaccine, claiming there is a very small chance of serious side effects from the COVID-19 shot.
“I know that there’s a risk from the COVID-19 vaccine. It’s a very, very small risk compared to everything that you’ve been through so far with the VAD going in ICU, ICU after the transplant. All of those risks are actually higher than the COVID-19 risk. I know you’ve heard this before… but from my heart, I hope that you’ll be able to work with them [doctors] and perhaps receive that vaccine. If I [were] in your position, I’d receive it [vaccine] because I think it’s the safest thing to do. And I know you don’t agree with me, and I respect that decision, but please reconsider,” Dr. Coatsworth said.
Ms. Derderian refuted this and told the doctor, “In terms of risk, I am more higher risk of something from complications from VADs than any other one. And also, in terms of treatments, there are therapeutic treatments that are available to treat COVID. Should I have COVID?”

If you are still wondering why the United States failed to prevail in Iraq and Afghanistan, especially Afghanistan, all you need to do is watch Tuesday’s press conference of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group in Brussels, Belgium. What a veritable clown show! The remarks by Lloyd Austin and General Mark Milley revealed two guys with an iron grip on delusion and a total lack of self-awareness.
The audacity of these two failed military leaders to pretend they are qualified to offer advice to Ukraine on how to fight a first-world military when their own dismal military records show they failed to defeat a bunch of goat herders and tribesmen that had no combat air, no helicopters and no artillery is the definition of chutzpah. It would be funny were it not for the slaughter underway in Ukraine.

Here are some of the lowlights from Austin’s opening remarks:
He accuses Russia of deliberating targeting civilians (a lie) and ignores the last eight years of Ukraine killing its own civilians in the Donbas.
He accuses Putin of causing world chaos, even though the shortages of food and oil along with collapsing economies in Europe were self-inflicted wounds by NATO. NATO did that, not Putin.
Austin pledges to support Ukraine for the long haul by PROMISING more HIMARS ammo, heavy machine guns, 181 MRAPs and 2000 Anti-Tank Guided Missiles plus an additional $1.75 billion for air defense systems. He failed to mention that none of that materiel will be arriving any time soon because U.S. and European stockpiles are almost depleted.
Along with providing more Cow Bell, Austin insists that the Contact Group will be synchronizing donations into an integrated training plan. Oh yeah, almost forgot, Ukraine will be getting more tanks and air defense systems (which will not arrive for months). He skipped over the tiny, insignificant detail of the lack of logistics support for these systems and the months of training required for Ukrainian troops to be minimally proficient with those systems.
Good speech, Lloyd.
Next up, General Milley. At least he did not mis-pronoun anyone:
NATO and this Coalition has never been stronger and Russia is now a global pariah.
I am surprised no one laughed at this blatantly ridiculous claim. Poland is carping at Germany. Turkey told Sweden no deal on entering NATO. Hungary is expressing grave reservations. Meanwhile, Putin has forged closer ties with China, India, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and Brazil. Time for the Princess Bride:

Russia has lost, they’ve lost strategically operationally and tactically and they are paying an enormous price on the battlefield.
Hey Mark. Losing is when you abandon Afghanistan with desperate souls hanging on to the wheels and wings of departing U.S. aircraft and falling to their deaths. Losing is when the army you trained failed to hold against the Taliban. Losing is when you abandon Afghan allies who put their trust in you. Russia swept the Ukrainians from Mariupol and is in the process of doing the same thing in the Donbas. Exactly how is Russia losing strategically, operationally and tactically? Just because you say it does not make it true.
The nation of Ukraine is united for one single purpose — to expel the Russian forces from their territory and to defend themselves.
At the outset of the Special Military Operation Ukraine had a larger army in the field than Russia. That is no longer the case. Russia destroyed Ukraine’s tank brigades and now Ukraine is begging desperately for replacements. Ukraine’s Army has been decimated by the Russian tactic of using artillery to attack and destroy fixed entrenchments. Even if NATO decided to mobilize and send its own troops to reinforce Ukraine, that would not be enough to “expel” Russian forces. Russia is fighting for its homeland.
The Russian military has paid tremendous costs in their war of aggression and now they’ve resorted to sending conscripts and prisoners to imminent death.
It would appear that Milley got confused about the briefing he received on Ukrainian casualties. Russia’s so-called “conscripts” are military reservists, plus an estimated 100,000 volunteers who signed up. Ukraine, by contrast, is kidnapping 16 year old boys and 60 year old men off the streets in places like Kiev and Odessa. I find it hard to believe that Milley really believes the crap he is spewing. If he does then the United States military is in grave danger with a moron like that in charge.
Countries have pledged tanks 22 have pledged infantry Fighting Vehicle, 16 pledged artillery and Munitions and nine more pledged Air Defense Artillery. The group is focused focused on delivering the capabilities committed and efficiently providing the training the spare parts the sustainment logistics necessary for the Full Employment of these systems. Training, maintaining and sustaining Ukraine remains key for Ukraine to prevail.
It is guys like Milley that are the bread and butter of casinos around the world. He keeps doubling down and betting money he does not have in hopes of turning up a Royal Flush. A man with his experience should understand that even if the West can pony up the new weapons and vehicles and tanks, Ukraine is many months away from being able to use them effectively on the battlefield. Ukraine does not have the luxury of time.
Russia by contrast is waging a very costly war of attrition while Ukraine is effectively leveraging their asymmetric advantages in order to defend itself and the most important asymmetric Advantage they have is courage, resilience and tactical skill.
This is a real head scratch-er. Apparently Milley believes the Ukrainians have the same magical military skills of the Taliban and will be able, somehow, to defeat the Russian military just as the U.S. was vanquished from Afghanistan. Russia enjoys advantages in personnel, tanks, artillery, ammunition, electronic warfare, combat aircraft, helicopters and hyper sonic missiles. There is zero evidence that Ukraine has more courage, resilience or tactical skill than the Russians. In fact, the real asymmetry is that Russia has more trained soldiers than Ukraine by a vast margin.
It’s to uphold the rules-based international order in order that rejects the idea that big strong powerful Nations can attack other smaller countries that borders shall not change.
Hypocrisy, thy name is Milley. This is the quintessential pot calling the kettle black moment from this presser. The list of small countries that the United States and NATO have attacked is long — Afghanistan, Iraq (twice), Syria, Libya, the Balkans, Panama, Dominican Republic, Vietnam, etc. Since 1990, Russia has fought Georgia and now Ukraine. Their military operations in Syria came at the request of the recognized government. I wish that NATO would live up to the ideal of a “rules-based international order.” But the rules that Milley has in mind are house rules. It is a crooked casino.
We’re going to continue to work with Ukraine to address Ukraine’s most pressing needs again you know they’re contemplating an offensive in uh in the spring and that’s just weeks away and so we have a lot to get done so if you think about the numbers of systems that we’re bringing together: Bradley’s Strikers Marders CB 90s, 113s yeah artillery in the list goes on and on. It’s a Monumental task to bring a those systems together, get the troops trained on those platforms and make sure we have sustainment for that for for all of those systems and get those systems into the fight. So that’s that’s really the focus of our our of our conversation today.
Von Clausewitz he ain’t. What General worth a cup of warm spit announces in advance when a “contemplated” offensive will take place. How about keeping your cards close to your vest and not tipping off your opponent what you are going to do?
Looks like NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and Mark Milley are not on the same page. Jens made this uncomfortable (but truthful) admission yesterday:
“It is clear that we are in a race of logistics,” he said. “The war in Ukraine is consuming an enormous amount of munitions and depleting allied stockpiles.”
Mr. Stoltenberg said Ukrainian troops are expending ammo at “many times higher” than the current rate of production for NATO members. The situation is putting pressure on allied defense industries.
He said the waiting time for large caliber ammunition — such as shells for the 155mm howitzers sent by the U.S. — has increased from 12 to 28 months, on average.
“Orders placed today would only be delivered 2½ years later. So we need to ramp up production and invest in our production capacity,” Mr. Stoltenberg told reporters at NATO headquarters.
Ukraine, with the help of the West, is sleepwalking into the slaughterhouse. Ukraine and NATO’s refusal to wake up and grasp the reality of what is happening is likely to lead to the destruction of both.

Public schools are failing all over the country. States like Illinois and Maryland have barely any students performing at grade level.
Schools seem more concerned with pushing woke garbage about ‘equity’ than teaching basic skills.
Despite all of these problems, far left crank Bernie Sanders is demanding more money for teachers. He wants a minimum salary of 60K for all teachers.
The Hill reports:
Sanders calls for minimum salary of $60,000 for public school teachers
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) called for a minimum salary of $60,000 for public school teachers, capitalizing on the push by President Biden in his State of the Union speech to give public school teachers a raise.
“We should be paying public school teachers a minimum of at least $60,000 a year,” Sanders said at a town hall at the Capitol on Monday night with national teachers union leaders. “I am proud to tell you I will soon be introducing legislation to do just that.”
Sanders’s call for a minimum salary for public school teachers comes after Biden made a pitch for a number of education policies during his State of the Union, including providing increased access to preschool and giving teachers a raise.
“If you want to have the best-educated workforce, let’s finish the job by providing access to preschool for 3- and 4-years-old,” Biden said in the speech. “Let’s give public-school teachers a raise.”
Sanders blasted the pay of public school teachers in the U.S., and cited rising levels of stress and increasing trends of teachers quitting as the reason why the federal government needed to support them.
He sure is good at spending other people’s money, isn’t he?

I do not think we should accept it as ‘normal’ in our society that billionaires get massive tax breaks while teachers in this country have to work a second job just to make ends meet.
We must pay all teachers in America at least $60,000.

According to Joe Biden, food prices are coming down. Except, they aren’t actually.
The most recent inflation report showed that prices at grocery stores went up in January.
Biden knows he can just say things like this and the media will let him get away with it.
Breitbart News reports:
Joe Biden Falsely Claims Food Prices Are ‘Continuing to Come Down’
President Joe Biden falsely claimed food prices are coming down after Tuesday’s inflation report revealed prices at the grocery store actually increased in January.
Delivering a Tuesday afternoon keynote address at the National Association of Counties, Biden falsely claimed inflation, including food prices, is coming down.
“Today’s report on inflation shows the good is that inflation in America is continuing to come down,” Biden claimed. “Food prices at the grocery store are coming down.”
But according to the consumer price index report released Tuesday morning, the price of food at home jumped 0.5 percent compared with December. Over the past 12 months, grocery prices have gone up 10.1 percent, the numbers reflecting the month of January show.
Many common grocery items dramatically increased in price, including eggs prices up 70 percent, cereals up 15.6 percent, and coffee up 12.6 percent.
Biden is not living in reality.

Biden: Food prices are coming down.
Reality: Grocery prices are up 11.8% from last year.

Food prices are up nearly 12% over the past year.
That’s Joe Biden’s legacy.

Biden said his economic plan is working:
LIE
1) inflation went up to 6.4%
2) food prices went 11.4%
3) Joe Biden has not reduced the deficit. His first two years were 2 of the 4 highest deficits in HISTORY
ATTENTION: Joe Biden is a pathological LIAR

In today’s dating scene, a person’s COVID-19 vaccination status can make or break a relationship.
For this reason, Shelby Thomson and Heather Pyle, two businesswomen from Maui, Hawaii, developed the world’s first online dating service dedicated to unvaccinated people.
The two found the online dating game to be frustrating for the unvaccinated during the peak of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout in 2021.
According to a survey conducted by Dating.com in 2021, the majority of respondents (86%) said there is no way they would date an unvaccinated person.
“From restaurants to movies – and even sporting events – traditional dating activities are limited based on vaccination status, and our members see it as a clear dealbreaker,” Maria Sullivan, Vice President and Dating Expert of Dating.com, told FOX 4.
In most dating apps today, you can now list your vaccination status.
The unvaccinated “didn’t have the option to say they were unvaccinated” to potential online dating partners, Thomson said.
“They were only allowed to be vaccinated. And you had to have this badge in your [online] profile,” she added.
In May 2021, the two business partners from Hawaii launched “Unjected,” a dating app for the unvaccinated, on the Google and Apple stores, according to Epoch Times.
“We started seeing people wanting to find partners,” Thomson said, referring to their unvaccinated friends.
But shortly after the app’s release, Thomson and Pyle began getting hate mail, followed by negative publicity by the media, according to Epoch Times. Apple removed “Unjected” from the app store because it allegedly spread false information about vaccines, the company said.
When Google threatened to do the same thing, in August 2021, Unjected.com was created and launched under the web domain host GoDaddy.
“Unjected was founded with a goal to help us easier connect in a world of medical discrimination and censorship. We believe that we all have a lot in common when it comes to being conscious about our choices, and we think that there is great connections to be made when like-minded people like us are gathered in the same social space,” according to its website.
This new website is about “dating, friendships, community, social feeds, blood and fertility directories.”
If you are unvaccinated and looking for a connection with like-minded individuals, sign up here.

The Unjected also has categories for those who were coerced to take the experimental shot.
“We have categories for those who we’re vaxxed and regret their decision. A lot of these people are family and friends, we’re not excluding those who want love & respect!”
