Angry Virginia Parents Confront Left Wing School Board Members Over CRT, Chant 'Racist' at Them


The Virginia gubernatorial election, which ended with a surprise victory for GOP candidate Glenn Youngkin in an increasingly blue state, was proof positive of how energized parents are over critical race theory in the Old Dominion’s schools. That hasn’t changed just because they won some elections.

In a showdown between parents, activists and school board members in Fairfax County, Virginia, individuals protesting the school board chanted “racist” as a speaker handed out books on CRT.

The battle hinged on admission standards for the prestigious Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, according to the Daily Caller. Opponents of the new admission policies, which are supposed to foster diversity, have said they nakedly discriminate against Asian-Americans.

Members of the school board admitted as much in text messages to each other obtained via a lawsuit.

At a school board meeting this week, parent activist Asra Nomani distributed copies of “Race to the Bottom,” a book by investigative reporter Luke Rosiak that details the goings-on in Fairfax County, including the lowering of admission standards to Thomas Jefferson to reduce the number of Asian students.

Nomani chastised the woke school board for its, um, rather homogenous makeup.

“You’re a white man, you’re a white man, you’re a white man, you’re a white man!” Nomani said. “This is racism!”

Parents at the meeting then began to chant “racist” at the board members.

“You are the new face of racism,” Nomani told the board. “I have here a copy of a book for each one of you: ‘Race to the Bottom.’ You are all in this book. … I hope you read them from cover to cover and see yourselves in the pages of history as failures.”

It’s also worth noting, as many outlets did, that security details moved close to Nomani at one point during...

Attacking the Florida Bill Is the Commies' Latest Attempt to Have Sex With Your Kids


The left wants to sexualize kids as young as four years old and if you disagree with that wicked plan you’re apparently “anti-gay.” Are these clowns sure that’s the approach they want to take?

It’s an old trick used by desperate degenerates to get what they want. Over the years the left has certainly mastered the “agree with us or you’re a (insert minority)-o-phobe” approach. And in the past it has worked on some people, I’m sure. But to suggest that anyone who doesn’t want very young kids indoctrinated with sex and gender ideology is “anti-gay” is, frankly, wretched and vile. Par for the progressive course.
FACT-O-RAMA! No one cares if you’re gay, now stop pushing your narrative on young kids who still believe in Santa Claus.
Remember the good ole days when the LGBT people just wanted to be “treated fairly?” They have that now, but it’s not enough. Now they want to brainwash our kids with gay GAY GAY! Relax, you useful idiots — young kids will grow up and figure out who they are. They don’t need drag queens pushing hyper-sexualized narratives at them when they’re five years old. Hey, lefties, leave those kids alone!

The Florida bill everyone is talking about is HB1557. Far-left whack jobs are calling it the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, because nothing gets a man in a dress angrier — or happier — than another opportunity to play the victim.

I’ve read all seven pages of the most recent version of CS/CS/HB1557 and suggest you do the same. That way, you can pummel your bolshie sister-in-law with facts when she and her milksop boyfriend spit-scream “YOU’RE A B-B-B-BIGOT” all over your Easter dinner table.

Until then, I’ll show you the line that the cream-puffs are getting their Underoos in a bundle over.
PG 4 , Line 97

3. Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.
Nowhere does it say “don’t say ‘gay.'” In fact, the word “gay” doesn’t appear anywhere in the entire bill. The line simply ascertains something that we shouldn’t have to ascertain: don’t bombard kids aged four to seven years old with your sick, lefty “nothing matters but skin color and chosen gender” narrative that keeps blue-haired Antifa milksops up at night.

The truth is, parents have the right to raise their kids how they want and an obligation to raise them into respectful, successful, law-abiding citizens, and the lefties hate that. In my opinion, they hate it for two reasons: they want to destroy the nuclear family and they want to normalize...

Fact-Checking 3 Biden Claims on Gas Prices



Joe Biden has insisted that rising gas prices are not a result of his administration’s policies.

This week, he announced the United States would ban oil imports from Russia because of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion of neighboring Ukraine.

Biden also has suggested that U.S. oil companies are responsible in part for the higher prices due to insufficient domestic production.

Here’s a look at three major claims about gas prices from the president:

1. ‘9,000 Permits to Drill’

When he announced the ban on Russian oil imports, Biden said the rise in gas prices in previous months was not the fault of his administration’s policies.

Biden said that only 10% of production takes place on federal lands, and the oil companies have “millions of acres leased” from the federal government.

“They have 9,000 permits to drill now. They could be drilling right now, yesterday, last week, last year,” the president said. “They have 9,000 to drill onshore that are already approved. So, let me be clear. Let me be clear: They are not using them for production now. That’s their decision.”

According to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, there were 9,173 approved permits at the end of 2021.

But it’s not that simple, said Katie Tubb, senior policy analyst for energy and the environment at The Heritage Foundation.

“The 9,000 leases [statistic] is incredibly misleading and shows the administration doesn’t understand their own processes for managing energy production on federal lands and waters,” Tubb told The Daily Signal in an email. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation)

“Bidding for and winning a lease on federal lands and waters is the beginning of a long process to actually produce energy. After leasing, there’s exploration, environmental reviews, permitting, drilling a well, and putting in infrastructure … to actually access oil/natural gas.”

That can take years because of litigation and environmental reviews, according to the Western Energy Alliance, which is defending 2,200 leases for development from lawsuits brought by environmental groups. The federal government also conducts an analysis mandated under the National Environmental Policy Act.

Some leases won’t be developed if the company determines the quantities of oil and natural gas are insufficient.

Further, relying on the 9,000 leases line is “misdirection” from the White House, according to The Wall Street Journal editorial board. That’s because it’s not enough to simply have permits.

It takes about 140 days for the federal government to approve a drilling permit, according to the newspaper. Additionally, the Journal said, regulations have made it tough for companies to get permits to contract rigs for operating on federal lands.

Also, the Department of Interior’s five-year leasing program for the Gulf of Mexico expires in June, and the Biden administration hasn’t proposed a new plan, according to the Journal.

In the past week, the Biden administration proposed new climate standards that would regulate conventional trucks and declined to appeal a federal court decision that vacated the only leases it sold last year on federal lands or waters.

2. Keystone ‘Nothing to Do’ With Oil Supply

White House press secretary Jen Psaki was dismissive of questions regarding the Keystone XL pipeline, which Biden canceled on his first day in office.

“The Keystone was not an oil field. It’s a pipeline,” Psaki said this week. “Also, the oil is continuing to flow in, just through other means. So, it actually would have nothing to do with the current supply imbalance.”

The pipeline transporting oil from Canada into the United States would not immediately boost supply. But as a futures market, oil prices are based in part on anticipated supply.

Boosting the long-term outlook would likely affect prices, Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, an app that directs motorists to the best gasoline deals, told Politico.

“The president should immediately rescind his policies to block the Keystone XL pipeline, and let the market decide,” De Haan said, adding:
He should also cease anti-oil-and-gas stances and let markets decide. That won’t help much now, but in the long run, it will reverse his damaging decisions. And the nation should support growing our energy independence, to help offset future situations like this.
Also, in the long term, the Keystone XL pipeline—stretching from Alberta, Canada, to Steele City, Nebraska—would carry about 830,00 barrels of oil per day into the United States from an ally.

That would easily supplant the 800,000 barrels per day the United States imported from Russia during 2021, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Future expectations get factored into commodity prices and futures, Tubb said.

“Approving the pipeline now would be good longer-term policy, and would also send a strong signal to markets (investors, financiers, energy companies) that energy production and infrastructure are welcome,” Tubb said, noting:
We saw just this week how powerful those signals can be. The price per barrel of oil increased following Biden’s ban on Russian imports, then fell when the political ramifications were more muted than feared (and the EU didn’t join in the ban) and when the UAE mildly broke ranks and encouraged OPEC to consider increasing production.

Senior Russian Diplomat Confirms US Weapons Convoys to Ukraine Could Be Seen as 'Legitimate Targets'


American and NATO convoys rushing desperately needed weapons to Ukraine forces are now being called legitimate targets of war by a senior Russian official.

Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov made the comment Saturday on state TV, according to Politico.

Russia “warned the U.S. that pumping weapons from a number of countries it orchestrates isn’t just a dangerous move, it’s an action that makes those convoys legitimate targets,” he said.

He also called the U.S. sanctions against Russia an “unprecedented attempt to deal a serious blow to various sectors of the Russian economy,” but said Moscow is being restrained in its approach.

”We aren’t going to escalate the situation,” he said, referring to the possible expulsion of American and other Western businesses.

The world has seen an arms shipment become the catalyst for wider escalation of a conflict. In 1915 the Lusitania, which was carrying ammunition and guns for the forces opposing Germany, was sunk by a German U-boat. The sinking became a catalyst for shifting America into an alliance with Britain and France, which culminated in the arrival of U.S. forces in France in 1917.

Russia’s threat comes at a time when some lawmakers want Ukraine to have jets that can push back against Russian dominance of...

US Consulate in North Iraq Struck with Missiles Launched from Iran


BAGHDAD (AP) - At least six missiles were fired Sunday toward the U.S. consulate in Iraq’s northern city of Irbil, with several missiles hitting the building, Iraqi and U.S. security officials said. A U.S. official said the missiles were launched from neighboring Iran.

Early reports suggested there were no U.S. military casualties, a senior U.S. defense official said.



The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because information was still coming in, said it was still not certain exactly how many were fired and exactly where they landed. It also wasn’t clear if there were other casualties.

The Iraqi security officials said there were no immediate report of casualties from the attack, which occurred shortly after midnight and caused material damage in the area. They spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.

One of the officials said the ballistic missiles were fired from Iran, without elaborating.

The attack comes several days after an Israeli strike near Damascus, Syria killed two members of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. Iran's foreign ministry strongly condemned the attack Wednesday and vowed revenge.

On Sunday, Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency quoted Iraqi media acknowledging the attacks in Irbil, without saying where they originated.

Satellite broadcast channel Kurdistan24, which is located near the U.S. consulate, went on air from their studio shortly after the attack, showing shattered glass and debris on their studio floor.


A security statement said Irbil was targeted “with a number of missiles” early Sunday, adding that security forces were investigating the incident and would release more details later.

The attack comes as negotiations in Vienna over Tehran’s tattered nuclear deal hit a “pause” over Russian demands about sanctions targeting Moscow over its war on...
