Attorney General Merrick Garland appears before the Senate Judiciary Committee to answer questions about his involvement in the drafting of a DOJ memo to the FBI requesting support for investigations of parents who attend school board meetings across the country.
While the topic is downplayed by U.S. corporate media, the specifics of the issue are pertinent in that they highlight the politicization of the Justice Department by DOJ officials throughout main justice and the various offices of U.S. attorneys.
Garland was prompted to write his instructions as an outcome of the White House coordinating with leftist political operatives within the education system, specifically the National School Board Association.
It seems apparent, from the questioning and responses today, that Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco was the central DOJ official who coordinated the political intent of the memo. Monaco was previously President Obama’s homeland security advisor and lawyer in the White House. Within the main justice structure, Lisa Monaco is now the head of the DOJ National Security Division, the agency given the prosecutorial power within the Garland memo.
The background of the memo involved parents becoming aware of Critical Race Theory (CRT), essentially Marxist lesson plans within various regional school boards. The parents responded to the information by confronting school boards across the nation. The left-wing political operatives were caught off guard by the massive assembly and grassroots organization of parents in almost all states.
The CRT and education issue galvanized across party boundaries as Republican, Independent and Democrat voters -who are also parents- united in a common cause against the Marxist indoctrination material that is akin to the same playbook that triggered the Chinese Cultural Revolution.
Quickly awakened parents and concerned citizens were confronting the issue, and their commonality became a political risk to Democrats. This triggered contacts from various left-wing organizations to the White House.
The Joe Biden White House -filled with Obama ideologues- responded to the threat of intense political damage, by organizing pushback against parent groups through the various educational organizations, teachers unions and community activists. Their assembled strategy resulted in the letter from the National School Board Association, to the DOJ into the awaiting hands of DAG Lisa Monaco.
Monaco, having previously seeded the discussion within Main Justice about the political threat, then organized and helped draft the memo quickly signed by AG Merrick Garland. The NSBA letter arrived on Friday, and the AG memo instructing the FBI to target parents was signed the following Monday. Everything in the background of the issue highlights how the political needs of the White House become the focus of activity by the U.S. Justice Department.
In essence, the Merrick Garland memo highlights how the DOJ is weaponized against the political opposition of the White House; this is the larger issue.
Given the recent examples of the DOJ being weaponized against their political opposition, the Garland memo is seemingly just another data point in an endless assembly of data-points that prove just how corrupt the U.S. system of justice has become. However, just because corruption is rampant and transparently obvious does not mean we should allow ourselves to become numb with anticipation of that corruption.
Action to address that corruption starts at the local level with a committed and engaged citizenry who actively address and hold accountable their local school board members and educational officials.
The intent of the Garland memo was to frighten parents away from the corruptions within the education system with the threat of the FBI investigating them. If you allow your behavior and expectations to change based on fear, those who count on fear to manipulate the outcome will win.
Many people view these confrontations by Senators as nothing more than public displays that amount to no accountability. In part, that is correct; however, it is not the responsibility of a senator, any senator, to confront the school board member where the origin of accountability needs to reside.
The role of a U.S. Senator is to hold the federal arm of the DOJ accountable and put them on notice. This is what they are doing. The role of the engaged citizen is to address the educational manipulation on a local level. You cannot abdicate your responsibility to confront corrupt activity in your neighborhood to Washington DC. It is the role and responsibility of the parent/citizen to deal with that corruption.
Snarking at Senators for confrontational hearings might feel like a good way to deflect our responsibility. However, all it does is erode the foundational principle behind our constitutional republic which is built upon individual rights and responsibilities that start at the local level. Those who believe the federal government should address local school board issues, are, by nature of their argument, asking for a larger system of centralized government.

Always remember that Sen. Cornyn and Sen. Grassley both voted to confirm Garland as USAG. Why would they vote to confirm anyone selected by this administration in the first place?
Now why is it relevant in this context? Well, simply because the entire system has become so corrupt and rotten that it can no longer be relied on unless you were not paying attention. And that’s exactly why we will not be able to vote or litigate our way out of this mess.
Any political grassroots movement will be infiltrated and subsequently destroyed by the federal agencies with RINO’s gleefully cheering them on from behind closed doors.
And while I agree that under normal circumstances a grassroots strategy may sound very reasonable, its fatal flaw is that we are running out of time…
More people seem to be waking up to this.
Dangerous times we are in
The Republican Party was granted power in our elections to be a firewall to the lusts of Marxists devouring our nation. They have utterly FAILED. I have removed any party affiliation in my state and will only vote if the candidate will actually act to rebuild that firewall.
At least half of the Rs are infected in the senate. They have no core, no calling other than vanity. If your hopes are in democracy, go buy your burial plot now. There aren’t enough righteous in DC to save an outhouse from burning. You’d better be anchored in God or you’re in for a rough ride.
The Michael Flynn debacle should have informed Grassley et al that Garland is a corrupt criminal.
Garland helped orchestrate the full panel review after the En Banc review let Flynn off the hook. Then Garland voted to continue persecuting Flynn. He is a political hack and a crook, yet is our top law enforcement person. Not to mention it appears he is looking for payback on Republicans for denying him a Supreme Court spot. Every thinking person should be concerned about that.
These senators know who and what Garland {Garfinkle} really is. Yet they still vote to confirm these Commie scums, and they voted to tie Pres. Trump’s hands to keep him from making appointments.
What is it we are running out of time?
I see it as the more time, the more exposure and the more people realize the threat and danger it is to our personal freedom. The “Bad Guys are not only making mistakes with their “over-reach” they are alarming people in a negative way.
I see it as time is not on their side, however, time is on our side. The longer this goes on the worse it gets for them. I see it as time is on our side but not for them. It is they who are running out of time.
” And that’s exactly why we will not be able to vote or litigate our way out of this mess.”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Fangdog, we are running out of time because the legitimate routes to fixing this are no longer viable.
Thankfully, the Uniparty simps of the Republican Party are in the nebulous, intermediary stage where they cannot see the essential transition we are in between the old America, and the totalitarian police state the Democrats intend for us.
The Chinese Corporatist state is acceptable to our Republican placeholders. When the CCP pulls out the rug, and re-installs communism these dweebs like John Cornyn will be more shocked than Stalin when Hitler invaded.
The only constant is change. The Chinese communists will return to being what they always were.
The Second World War was the the international socialists versus the national socialists. The internationalists won. This resolution is what the world is now founded upon. In effect, Liz Cheney is the bedrock of the world.
The one great revolution in world history was the American revolution. The one great idea in world history was the American revolution. The American ideal survived for 200+ years because it is a magnificently great idea. If you reject the American idea, as the Democrats now apparently do, you leap into the abyss. Geronimo..
I say repeatedly that most politicians on the right are absolutely blind to the fact that we are an existential war. The left is on the march and our purported generals imagine it’s a just another game.
Or perhaps they have been cowed after seeing how easy it was to deny Trump his rightful victory.
In either case, they seem unable to pull together an effective coalition to defeat the usurpers.
Feel good t.v.! I actually think Merrick was a little shaken at how obviously and easily he was outed as a corrupt scum bag. The scheme sounded so good on paper. These worms are not used to being in the spotlight or taking responsibility for their actions. Our rep Senators were on fire today. Good.
Garland wasn’t shaking he was stirred. Just sitting through a day without a flubber to which he’ll return to desk and say how can I mess with civil liberties tomorrow.
“Garland wasn’t shaking he was stirred.”
I see what you did there. ?
Nothing will happen because nothing ever happens.
Feel good TV.
More than half of the country will ever see or hear about this POS Garland. Media won’t allow it!
why shaken?
check your watch, crap out a few catch phrases – NEXT!
I could see it in his eyes. Quite embarrassing to be such a bully tyrant when you are supposed to be a man of Law. I suppose he will get used to it.
Don’t let the critics who enjoy wallowing in their misery steal your joy.
The MORE spotlight, the more the worms will turn. I foresee a distinct intersection of the WH, AG, DoJ being OUTED for what they are…
I am glad that Sundance put all of these together like this because it shows Garland too be a POLITICAL HACK…just like ALL OF THE OTHER DEPTS and this includes the National School Board Ass. These entities NEED to be reformed and the individuals prosecuted to the highest standard that OUR CONSTITUTION ALLOWS…
We can BEND, BUT WE WILL NOT BREAK!!!!!

Acting confrontational to leftist tyranny is meaningless and actually demoralizing when it is always followed by legislative and political passivity.
This pattern is impossible to ignore and creates the inevitable expectation of more inactivity once the show is over.
If there is real meaning to the public display of anger it MUST be coupled with real political action to DO something. Even if legislation can’t be passed, it can at least be written and voted down. This legislation would spell out the political objective to criminalize all the DOJ activities being discussed.
Politically, nothing is stopping the Republican party from writing a declaration of opposition to the actions of the DOJ and that as a party, they pledge to abolish all the legal authority of the DOJ subject to congressional legislation. Moreover, they pledge to oppose all future budgetary authorizations for the DOJ across the board.
When a government bureaucracy has officially targeted your voters as enemies, there is NO excuse in holding back. Everything, and anything that can be done against that agency MUST be made a political priority. This must be a party wide pledge with all elected officials required to support or face rejection from party membership.
“… when it is always followed by legislative and political passivity” and even more So when It was preceded by “our side” voting to confirm kniwn miscreants.
I’ve often thought the same thing. Threaten to pull funding, refuse to confirm nominees, and write legislation. It won’t pass, but it would give them something to run on in the election and draw a big contrast with the radical left.
Let me introduce you to Sen Mitchell McConnell. And then to Rep Kevin McCarthy. Two broken twigs who will gladly stab your palm once you lean on them for actual leadership.
Each of these clowns were voted on by the senate and house R members. If you think it’s just a few bad apples in the way, try again. We have no one with will and conviction to go so far as to get censured if need be. They are ALL a waste.
Totally agree with you ! Enough of the GOP’s DEAD END ROADS of Senate and House with their : ” I am so angry at what you sir or mam have done bla bla bla _____ (fill in the blanks). Afterwards NOTHING THAT THEY HAVE POWER TO DO TO STOP ANYTHING IS ACTUALLY DONE !
BTW: I am Not yelling while typing in caps, it is an emphasis mode that is all. Nobody “yells” while typing in caps, it is an impossibility since all I’m doing is writing.
Thank you for your very good statement Hunbun. I SINCERELY HOPE THE REPUBLICANS DO WHAT YOU SAY !
IT IS WAY PAST TIME !

Ted Cruz Tore (Robert Muller) Merrick Garland a brand New Brandon
Really? Because, unless Garland resigns, which he won’t, he’s free to just keep on using federal law enforcement for political purposes. Then we will have more BS hearings. Lather, rinse, repeat.
The point of it is that he did a good job….your point has been my point…why vote for these clowns in 2022?
WorkingmanPHD: I agree with you. Effective politics is measured by results, not applause for TV performances.
Ted Cruz? Folded like a cheap suit when Nanzi pulled the ‘capitol riot’ lie.
DEAD END ROAD THEATRE .
Nothing legislatively will be done.
Good one. ?
this is how government works in communist countries. the government exists to control the citizens for the party not to serve those citizens. people in the united states need to wake up to the fact that we are not free people living in a free country. that idea died in jan, 2009 with the inauguration of barack obama. obama’s people now control our government. the only way to fight back is to unite the citizens on a national level. don’t expect the republican party to anything about this. one of the most useless things you can do in this country is vote for the republican party. if fighting these schoolboards were a democrat issue the democrat party would be working 24/7 on a national level to fight back. the republican party would and is doing nothing. have republican voters noticed that everything the republican does is kubuki theater? everytime an issue is raised by republican voters the republican party has one republican congressperson to speak out about it. tom cotton rails against this, jim jordan rails about that, dan crenshaw about something else. where is the entire united republican party addressing the interests of republican voters. why doesn’t the republican stand up as one united party to fight for the interest of their constituents? why because the republican party could care less about the interests of their constituents and they haven’t since the days of ronald reagan. all the republican party politicians care about is the republican party and their own personal interests. there is a public servant in the bunch. our time to reclaim our freedom is very short. the obama communists have a stranglehold on our government and they have been assisted at every step by the republican party. we can’t vote for democrats, they want to take our freedom away. but we sure as hell can’t keep voting for this republican party. we need to find people that will run for office as republicans that are not willing to be co-opted by the republican party. that requires an organized national movement, one that does not involved the current republican party in any way. look what the republican party did to the tea party movement. the haley barbers, jeb bushes, carl roves, reince prebius, john boehners, paul ryans et. al will do the same thing to any thing they get their hands. the current republican party is the democrat party.
I’m not sure you can vote your way out of tyranny. I gotta think the tyrants are not impressed…
The tyrants are laughing at us but we are not amused.
Absolutely. Democracy is a FAIL. Majority rule thru secret voting is dumb beyond belief. It’s put us right where we are.
Pretty much sums up the sorry state of the Republican Party in my opinion.
Voting won’t work. Removing these tyrants and their entire bloodline will.
Not until genuine patriots return to a 1776 mentality.

ted cruz is very impressive here but I sure wish he would use his position to actually do something. He did use this man like toilet paper though and I am very happy about that.
Even after saying he was not sending the feds to threaten parents at school board meetings, he sent a helicopter and several vehicles of federal agents to a Fairfax County School board meeting to threaten parents.
He is a lying SOB. Next time he testifies, they need to grill him again and tell him he lied to Congress. Nothing will be done, but at least the public will know.
Most school boards around here are elected. I don’t know if that’s true in other places. The kind of people who get on the boards are the same kind of people who are running home owners associations – little wannabe tyrants. Next election vote out the scumbags. In fact, every election vote them all out.
1ST FIX THE VOTING MACHINES !
GET RID OF DOMINION AND ALL THEIR MINION SUB COMPANIES AND FAKE NAMES THAT ARE ALL THE SAME!
Otherwise forget any election going our way.
Please read this from the NSBA ! “Equity” is all over it. I don’t think the word means what leftists at NSBA think it means.

noting: (senators, please take notes)….Will the Department of Justice begin a CIVIL RIGHTS INVESTIGATION INTO THE UNLAWFUL ARREST OF the laudon County Parent, who’s only “crime” was to show up and demonstrate his OUTRAGE that his own daughter was subject to the most harmful kinds of sexual assaults?
that’s question one.
question 2: when did this CIVIL RIGHTS investigation commence and how will the DOJ begin to take notice of the unlawful use of security contractors AND uniformed police and sheriffs to harass, arrest, and HARM parents who’s only “crimes” have been to voice their dissaproval and grievances to school Boards?
question 3: what school board members in Loudon County and school officials have been investigated for transferring a KNOWN sexual predator from one school to another that resulted in a similar repeated crime?
question 4: when can we expect equity in how antifa and blm members will be arrested who have committed real crimes and where are those memos giving the FBI power and scope to coordinate with local law officials to begin rounding up the thousands upon thousands of criminals who committed, arson, assault, looting, unlawful entry, attempted murder, and homicide?
question 5: what has the FBI done now or at any time to use it’s specific and focused powers of the patriot act to begin a full investigation into the very real CCP bioweapons production that resulted in c19 pandemic? What is the current status of that investigation? Has any special scope memo actually been formed and directed to the national security division within the FBI to examine this origin, locate the people responsible for that bioweapon?
question 6: is Bill Gates, Dr. Fauci and eco-health/alliance currently under any investigation and has any grand jury been formed to consider evidence of criminality?
question 7: As DOJ, what are your intentions to ORDER a special prosecutor for the c19 virus origin out of China?
question 8: As DOJ, what are your intentions to begin civil rights investigations and charges against any company that mandates an unproven, experimental gene therapy on its employees ? is this not a fundamental violation of civil rights? Who is advising your office about the civil rights violations that are taking place right now that have cost americans their livelihood, income and opportunities because if these violations of civil rights mandates?
MAKE THE DOJ answer the questions. Make them at least uncomfortable. Reveal to anyone who actually watched Cspan who the DOJ really under this administration.
God Bless America
YES!
WONDERFUL POST.
I’M GRINDING MY TEETH AS I PONDER YOUR QUESTIONS.
CAPS FOR EMPHASIS ???✝️
Quote “those who take their time and energy to ensuring our children obtain a proper education in a safe environment”
Let me list my issues with this.
CRT: teaching children hate based on the color of something out of their control such as the color of their skin is not ok and should not be anywhere near our children who are born innocent of hate and discrimination.
Mask mandates: Children inhale more frequently than adults do. This inhalation means the CO2 that is inhaled from the breath before is added to by the breath that follows more frequently. This CO2 is what we exhale as a norm and becomes toxic if not allowed out of the body. A child being forced to wear these masks are building a toxic level of this natural gas in their body. This is by no means making a safe environment for children to learn. Instead it hampers their ability to think and reason out the lessons the teachers are trying to get through to students.
Gender fluid restrooms: We saw that people as a whole don’t want this as a norm when Target tried this a number of years ago. Target lost millions of dollars in revenue because people refused to shop at a store that didn’t keep their customers safety as a top priority. So fast forward to today and now there are some who think it is ok for boys and girls to share locker rooms and restrooms even though at least 2 girls have been violently assaulted for just trying to go use the restroom as we all need to do from time to time. Our children’s safety should be the very TOP PRIORITY at ALL TIMES. Boys and girls are different in many ways not limited to or exclusive of their appearance on the outside. There should be absolutely no reason for a biological male to be in a ladies room any more than there should be any reason for a biological female in the gentlemen’s room. That is just good common sense.
Politics have ABSOLUTELY NO BUSINESS in our education centers for our children. There are college courses that teach things like Law and political science courses. Let that be the extent of which we give our children politics in schools. Otherwise stick to the basics: reading, Writing, Language arts, Honest history not this rewritten garbage that they are trying to shove down the throats of our children. Honest science not this stuff about boys can be girls and vice versa. We need our children prepared for the future, not turned into a lost generation of perpetual victims.
More parents need to stand up to the schools, be prepared to start local group classes in your homes if needed. Force the schools to return to the business of teaching truth to our children not politics. Otherwise, pull them from the schools and get other kids in your area together and start your own classes.
The real reason the NSBA wrote that letter is that they are scared shitless that they have been outed. They are afraid that the parents are not going to stop questioning their local school boards about what is happening in their schools. They know this movement is gaining traction, just like the MAGA movement. That letter was meant to stop this movement. And it isn’t going to happen. Patriots are winning this battle, it just takes time.
Bingo. And they knew the tyrant Biden would help them and the corrupt AG would help Biden.
The only problem was a girl was actually raped, sodomized, and brutalized, and they, in violation of the mandatory reporting law, covered it up to protect their gender bs. They almost got away with it too.
The kids in the school did not know this happened. These people are evil.
And stamina.
Afterwards they are all meeting for cocktails and cigars at the club while they have a good laugh.
Eric Holder but missing a brain.
Holder brazenly lied to Congress and laughed in their face.
Garland lied but looked like a weak minded feeble crook.
the first ag that was held in contempt of congress.
it was THAT moment, when contempt of congress and what it really means, that many americans realized….congress has no interest in actually prosecuting any criminal actions from within.
this has always been a problem with the co-equal branches of gov’t theory.
left it “its own” limits, there are no watchers.
But the constitution and our history illustrates a solution.
removal of consent.
it’s well past time that Americans realize this power and act upon it.
Stage 3 revolution…the gap narrows.
God Bless America
Our Constitution sets forth a Federalist form of governance in which the “Federal level” is intended to be the least of the “now fifty-one.” The name of the nation was “The United States,” and this what it all was supposed to be about. The direction of this country was never supposed to originate from a plot of land that at one time literally was “a swamp.”
Governance, in their grand scheme, would instead originate from the bottom up: starting with the local school boards and town councils, moving up to the governance of very different States, where nearly everything was then supposed to stop. Only a small handful of “enumerated powers” were supposed to be dealt with in Washington, DC.
Where did we forget this? Most importantly, we must go back to this. And, as we do so, we must re-remind ourselves just why “the First Amendment” was listed first.
there are 17 specific enumerated powers granted to the federal government under the US Constitution…those they ignore at will along with our rights that are guaranteed in the Bill of Rights…the vast majority of federal government functions are OUTSIDE this enumerated authority…those powers they do perform are actually reserved for the PEOPLE and the various states by the 10th Amendment
“The name of the nation was ‘The United States,’”
Pedantic correction: the name of the nation was THESE United States.
With each passing year since the War Between the States concluded, we have looked more and more like a Unitary State of America, i.e., a command system.
While I agree it is the parent’s responsibility to confront these school boards after the Senators call the DOJ out, why is our tax dollars being used against us? That is where I get irritated. They are going after lawful parents instead of the criminals. Same with the FBI. That is what needs to be fixed by these Senators.
They come after us, we go after them. That’s how you stop it. Voting has been completely corrupted. It no longer matters. It’s time to refresh the tree of liberty.
time to learn to dox and do it better then the opposition
Riddle me this SD. How by participating in local school board meetings yield anything…beside reading porn from a school library book and calling out boards for not forwarding knowledge of rape to law enforcement?
Your analysis yields that NSBA first actions was to call the Calvary in stifling parents speech claiming news reports of “violence and threats” where there were none. When governance is used to bash citizens into submission then it’s illegitimate. Nothing more or less.
Are THEY going to remove CRT. Nope…we’re stuck with it. What we can do take a passage of instruction and in our 3 minutes at a meeting and deconstruct it in front of the board (and folks in the room).
Silliness is worrying about what is taught cause teachers are instructing what to think, not teach how to think. Surviving school is taking in the data, take a test and hit the dump switch, repeat. THEN parents can work with their kids and give real world examples of how businesses work. Show them the bills and how much services cost. Then get them in competition, sports, coding, baking, wrenching…parents are the true teacher of kids.
Showing up for work or at school boards is always at least half the battle. If you are not there you will not make any difference.
Thats a load of bull. Parenting is teaching, yes-
but, parenting is ALSO knowing what they teach your kids at SCHOOL! C’mon, Mike :/
You think if the 20-30 other kids in the class all go along with what’s taught there, your kid won’t notice- maybe even resent YOU for not going along?
This type of empty response is EXACTLY why we’re here in schools, imho. If people DID get involved- and a LTO sooner- we wouldn’t be having this debate, right now.
Living a stones throw from two schools, I engaged the school board when 3 students were hit in our neighborhood. Problem was when buses were parked due to CARB diesel exhaust mandate, our neighborhood was swamped with 600 vehicles using our streets as loading and unloading zone. Long story short, multiple meetings with school board and public comment, nothing was done to resolve the issue. Five ways around a wall, in two months I petitioned 165 homes and got 81% verifiable majority for street closure. And submitted petition to our Mayor. Problem was resolved by installing stop signs slowing traffic flow and blocking pedestrian and vehicular traffic on one street.
What most folks don’t realize is board members are the representatives between citizens and school district. It’s political and board members are very careful how they present parents concerns to the school district.
I’m not privy to Mr.Smiths previous engagement with the board or his representative but parachuting in on a meeting and aggressively communicating resulted in the treatment he received.
Majority of parents at school board meeting complain, this is ineffective because it’s only a medium in which you can speak but not have a conversation unless a member ask you a question. A better tack, and what parents fail to do is understand LEVERAGE.
Mr. Smith did the right thing getting the rape kit. Next step law enforcement, present evidence and let SVU do their work. Then contact his school board representative and forward documentation that the shit storm is about to hit.
If nothing comes of the collusion between prosecutor and transfer of the rapist to another school then it’s go to the media.
My leverage in closing the street was 81% signatures. Mr. Smith leverage was the rape kit and exposing not the board but the district’s actions.
Problem with CRT is it’s curriculum. Bought and paid for. Get leverage by understanding who produced the curriculum, how was it paid for. Who voted for it and who at the school district (not the school board) benefited financially.
Sundance connected Garland and his family to CRT, now get in the weeds, do detective work and build the case that coin was the motive not the curriculum.
Showing up at school board meetings is huge! These people are afraid of parents, and when parents at school boards speak, hopefully there is a local news reporter there.
The numbers of people need to overwhelm the board and that puts them on notice.
”We are watching you”
acquiescence is the PROBLEM…the American citizens have been letting them do as they want for FAR too long
Showing up at scholl board meetings is just to try and stem the flow or slow it down. The real action follows when you vote them out. Some have 4 year terms so a recall may also be needed. Youu have to start somewhere. Obviously Soros started many years ago. We didn’t keep up or even take notice.
Nope.
Vast majority of folks expressing opinion don’t know how school boards work. School boards are theater and liaison between parents and the district. Just voting them out doesn’t do much. Next group rolls in and takes a few. In the to get up to speed. They have nothing to do with curriculum or what books are in the library. Guy reading porn from the library promulgates the book to the board and then they leverage district to remove it. Which is what they did.
In Mr. Smith’s complaint the board most likely had no idea what happen. It’s the district and school safety officer that warrants investigation. All well and good but as the case with Broward Co and the parkland shooter Superintenent get a pay raise and retires years with his pension. District got 4 million cooking the crime books, sheriff hearing students dying got his pension and drinks Mi Tia’s on the beach. And America has to listen to that jackass gun control guy, that wasn’t harmed.
Righteous Indignation! Speeches!
It’s clear from listening to the videos that the so-called threats claimed by members of the local School Boards. The same School Boards, filled with members selected by the Dominion Voting System’s through vote flipping, the CCP since they own the voting systems and by corrupt election officials previously selected by the same corrupt system should not be a surprise for any of us.
Would you or should you expect the local School Board members to reflect the interest of those who provided their jobs, or to seek help from those who put them in their current jobs? This is what they have done.
Its been said, by various experts in Warfare “Know your enemy”.
Our enemy eschews warfare truism, constantly.
Here, the Public eduction system used Covid, non-sensically to CLOSE public K-12 schools, to “in person learning” switching to “Zoom” classes.
At the SAME time, they institited Rascist CRT indoctrination.
And yet, it NEVER occurred to them that with “in home Learning” that SOME parents would be looking over their kids shoulder, and actually SEEING and HEARING this crap indoctrination, and object to it.
This alone goes BEYOND “tone deafness”, this is BLINDNESS.
They, by their own actions and words, make it clear they consider US “the enemy”, and that they are at WAR with us.
And yet, repeatedly they demonstrate, by actions and words, that they do NOT “KNOW” us, their avowed enemy.
Stating that the “vax hesitant” (thats MANDATE resistant) are “ignorant, superstisious conspiracy theorist, white supremacists who don’t understand science or medicine ” when in reality, in all professions or categories, it is those with the highest education levels, and the greatest knowledge of science and medicine, who are the most anti-mandate.Again, they DON’T know, or understand the enemy.
They are doomed to fail, the only question is how many will die, before they are defeated.
Agree Mike. Typical commies, always out over their ski’s…….. As you ask, “what will the price be to correct it?”
All kinds of possibilities here.
Nailed it!
This Garland is a slippery-slimy little creep, the creepiness virtually oozes from him whether he is speaking or not. Looks and speaks a nerdish Dracula. A complete commie, insanely committed to the cause, and another one of O’Baulma’s direct disciples, straight out of hell.
Next hearing, one of the congressmen should hold up a giant crucifix before questioning him, and see what happens.
Garland makes a terrible American. But he would make an excellent German during the years 1933 to 1945.
Great smokescreen, and a lot of b.s., and repeated b.s., but what I did not hear Is one single question about what is being done to investigate the MASSIVE election fraud of Nov 2020.
Not one single question on a missing tractor trailer of ballots that Tony Shaffer was told by Bill Barr to pass over to the DOJ and knock off his investigation.
Not one single question about the millions whose identities were stolen for someone else to fraudulently vote for them without their knowledge or consent in the 2020 elections, which are federal, state and and local crimes.
Not one single word about the thousands of affadavits filed on by citizens who witnessed numerous federal state and local crimes committed during the 2020 elections.
Not one single word about why a vendor of the U.S. gubt can sue and stonewall and committ election fraud with impunity.
Not one single word about the Delusional Joe policy that says it is OK for boys who wear skirts to share girls bathrooms and locker rooms that contributed to the rape of at least one underage female in a Virginia high school so far.
Totally lacking in substance. I give them all a 0 on a scale of 1-10.
Because it would reveal the utter collapse of the foundation of legitimate US leadership. We don’t have elections, we have media-engineered theater. Do you think Virginia will go R next week? It’s an engineered event to raise funds and make you think you have a chance and a stake in the show.
SD successfully got me off the partisan hopium pipe. I have only grown more convinced the only hope we have is from a wipeout, an event that demolishes our world as we know it, allowing a just God to reset it in his image.
You’ve got to go thru hell before you get to heaven as Steve Miller said. Our current methods are not up to the task. Pray… HARD.
The topic of this hearing was not about voter fraud.
For some, everything is always about voter fraud.
The topic of this hearing was “Oversight of the Department of Justice”. The time was squandered on one single subject that was beaten like a dead horse.
https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/meetings/10/20/2021/oversight-of-the-department-of-justice
Even Grassley knows this is about oversight of the DOJ, not just one hot button subject.
https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/10-27-21%20Grassley%20Statement.pdf
“ Great smokescreen, and a lot of b.s., and repeated b.s., but what I did not hear Is one single question about what is being done to investigate the MASSIVE election fraud of Nov 2020.”
So after having dismissed today’s Senate DOJ hearing as b.s. you now anxiously long for tomorrow’s Senate DOJ hearing into election fraud that you can also dismiss as b.s.?
Parents need to dial up the criticism of their local school boards.
CRT is not a class. It’s Marxist indoctrination woven into the fabric of the curriculum. When the school boards “ban” CRT, they’re not actually banning anything. It doesn’t stop a principal from changing the grading requirements for minority students in the name of “equity” – that’s a big element if CRT – because grades exist so whites can oppress minorities.
Banning CRT doesn’t stop a math teacher from inserting math problems identifying white people as racists, or an English teacher from promoting anti-white literature. Or a history teacher from showing 1619 Project videos. Those are all CRT, but if you call them on it, they’ll say they’re not teaching CRT, merely pressing “a different perspective that you don’t like because you’re a racist white person”. I’ve seen them use this excuse already, similar to how they cast people who know masks don’t work as “hating children” and “anti science”.
If you see an election sign for school board that says:
– education not politics
– bi-partisan solutions
or any form thereof…
…that person is most likely a CRT advocate.
Only Liberals walk around worshipping “bipartisanship”.
Get people on your boards who are vocal against CRT, masks, vaccine mandates, and who are extremely vocal about parents rights.
The educatrats hate parents. Flush them out by making them run against it.
Pray for help.
I agree!
It must have been an unanticipated shock that parents would express concern about the CRT -then the reading materials, etc., that resulted from parents looking more closely into what their children were being taught!
CRT opened a whole ‘nother can of worms!
Yes, it is the responsibility of parents…and everyone else…to monitor and question their local school board!
I may not have children attending—but I do pay taxes –which pays for Public Education!!! It is Everyone’s responsibility!
I think the father of the girl from Louden Co. and Garland be locked in a room for 60 minutes. At the end of 60 minutes, open the door. What happens in the room, stays in the room. Period.
Garland is just a pawn. There’s plenty of Garlands. Think bigger
Correct…he’s the messenger…L-Fair is running the show…
we had another corrupt AG.
Our Gov is such a fraud.
Democrats used their radicals to burn down cities and serve as their street agitators for years.
Now the Democrats are in power the radicals are demanding their communist utopia.
Democrats MUST pay back the radicals and can’t let them down. But Democrats know they can’t hurt their rich lobbyists, their donors.
So they pick Sinema and Manchin to be villains that ruined their communist promise.
The swamp works for the lobbyists but must pretend to work for their radicals.
Select just enough villains to blame them for the fail attempt to pass the commie utopia that goes against their Billionaires donors.
Sinema and Munchin are no moderates. Just the current selected villains. They will rotate the villains around. They always do.
squad by another name for another purpose?
agreed.
My wife is running for our school board and is as Conservative as they come. She is also unopposed.
Sometimes being part of team that gets things to change is just a matter of showing up.
Still We the People must push on getting rid of these vote flipping machines.
At a minimum each precinct should be allowed to ‘not’ use them. This then opens the window for legitimizing the election at the precinct level based upon direct local action, just like these school boards.
The immediate benefit is that local elections will at least be honest in Conservative regions plus also forcing the Communist to cheat even more to swing State and Nationwide elections.
Thanks for her effort…it is appreciated…
Well she is my high school sweetheart, who has also successfully kept me in line making serious currency along with raising five productive children.
What more can a man want from any woman?
Plus she is attractive, even now, at 5o. I’ve told her many times, I wasn’t smart enough marry you, but now I still am.
She said the same thing back.
Such is life.
By the time you can figure stuff out effectively, you are near the end.
Yep, the Republican Senators are good talkers, that’s for sure. They’re so COMFORTABLE being back in the minority where they can huff and puff and act OUTRAGED, and of course do nothing. I guess this is better than complete supine surrender but its all just a dog and pony. As noted, when the R’s had a chance to pay the D’s back for obstructing, slow-rolling, and trying to destroy almost important Executive nominee of Trump’s the Senate R’s…. happily confirmed almost everyone Biden sent up.
People are talking about the Disaster at the border. The DHS secretary was a known radical but Mittens, the RINO Sisters and quite a few other R’s happily voted for him.
People involved in criminal behavior that favors the Democrats get rewarded while ordinary citizens are punished for exercising their 1st Amendment Rights.
Usually the all talk no action political theater is frustrating. But this theater probably gives cover to millions of unhappy parents who will now feel less threatened when they speak up at school board meetings.
Long past due. They need to be made to fear We The People.
This is not just a “school” or “politician” problem it is a social problem. Lots of Americans have depraved, lowered morals that do not mind any of the insanity going on right now. They know, they don’t care, they don’t believe they will pay when they die.
The bottom line my friend is not enough care. There aren’t enough on board in time to salvage the country. The fires will come.
Excellent job highlighting our Senators owning corrupt Garlands’ weak punk ass. Most enjoyable.
Great questions from Mr. rtg.And y can’t 1 senator ask any and all of those q? And the answer is not that they can’t think of those q but they would reveal too much. Also in fl. it was state law in school districts( was 3 years ago when I left) that if a teacher or staff suspected any sexual misbehavior it HAD to be reported and could result in loss of job and other penalties if it was found to be unreported.?
Soros and the Chi-town crew want to create anarchy in the streets, indoctrination of our children and along with the media their desire is to tear down this country. This plan has been in place for over 50 years and now the left feels they have a toehold to execute their plan.
They have made progress…yet we are waking up and coming to the realization that there are efforts out there to remake this country. It begins at the local level for the pushback. Unfortunately our side…Senators and Congressman are compromised…we must out them and eliminate them from the political landscape to advance the conservative agenda.
Confronting school boards might be an interesting hobby, but the real action is getting the kids out of the government schools and implementing school choice (carefully).
I’m sure the lefties have a plan B for that. We will have to be ready for it.
Eric Holder was a corrupt hood rat thug in a suit. This guy, Garland, is dumber than dirt but unspeakably depraved and evil.
Virginia mother says feds, helicopter showed up at school board meeting and she’s received ‘daily threats’
Stacy Langton says she attended protest outside DOJ earlier this month
https://www.foxnews.com/media/virginia-mother-feds-helicopter-school-board-meeting-threats
We have a small group of engaged parents, grandparents in my community taking on our incredibly corrupt local school board. Proud of their effort. I watched the videos….thank you Sundance. My first cynical thought is these Republican senators know that education/CRT/Merrick Garland are a Republican money raising opportunity. They have seen the polls, Hence the theater today. Hopefully, it is more than just theater. I applaud all the true fighters at the local level.
Labeling concerned parents as Domestic Terrorists also transcends to taxpayers approaching their City Council Representatives on local laws and regulations. Is every citizens speaking before their City Council a Domestic Terrorist?
anyone who speaks out about the people in power
will be enemies of the state
its how commies roll..
That or you will be found guilty of Thought Crimes aka Hate Speech.
It’s no longer a Democratic/Republic when the guns(of justice and other) are pointed inward at the citizens to comply.
Did the DOJ rescind the directive?
No
If I “threaten” my school board that I will vote them out, is that intimidation or a threat that the DOJ will use to come after me and destroy my life?
Yes. Apparently, dissent will not be tolerated.
same old song and dance
lots of words with little to no actions
time to give these losers the hook for this tired act
“War is nothing but a continuation of politics with the admixture of other means.” ~ Carl von Clausewitz
Looking at the “politicization” of the DOJ (and FBI) from the 30,000 ft. level, it is quite clear that the Xiden Administration is using the instruments of the “law” to conduct warfare (lawfare) for the purpose of defeating the enemy (that would be us deplorables) and eventually not only subjugating us, but replacing us with non-American, illegal aliens for whom our country is nothing more than a perpetual Santa Claus of freebies.
I know I’m preaching to the choir for Treepers, but somehow, we have got to red pill (with an adrenalin chaser) more Americans. We’re running out of time and as Morpheus said in the Matrix, time is never our friend.
Given ample opportunities,
it’s what the AG does not say.
( since it may not be in the bosses or the AG’s soul, heart, mind
.since it was not apparently mentioned, nor mentioned by the AG.
..does anyone wonder if the AG cares – with the full strength of government resources –
to defend the
citizens,
parents,
children…
…from violence,
or threats of violence,
or coercion (via prejudice teachings that instill hate instead of love in kids,
that confuse children on simple math,
jabs
and jobs )
that are made ( verbally or by homework, or by grading children)
by elected, or local, state, or federal government career people whom are being paid in part, or whole, by taxpayers funds…
of which those funds are derived from citzens or the miss printing of indebted monies)?
hmmm…
It seems that the AG ‘ left ‘ out that part… the original intent is not to protect the government people
but
to protect people from an over reaching government people.
hmmm…
The government agencies of people,
selected by we the people,
are to serve and protect we the people
( not government, not just themselves ).
Where is our paid for protections?
– as people flow across the border in record numbers,
– as jab coercions arise
– as job vacancies rise
– as national debts rise
– as the U.S. leaves $80 billion of equipment plus a huge airport…with known terrorist organization..
– as legally counting votes gets too complicated to be transparent or timely …
– as some J6 people sit in jail for months,
– as the summer of 2020 unpeaceful rioters burned buildings etc – and hardly get to find time to sit in jail…out on bail ( via laundered dem funds )
AG etc etc.
where is our lawful equal, selfless, protections, including the backing – and payment – of fed. lawyers both / either in plaintiff and defendent circumstances ( or in no civil, or criminal case at all) ?
hmmm…
Imho
I do not know
Love thy neighbors
This is Post America. We lost already. They started 80 years ago. The south will go first as the Turd world Democrats pour across the “Border”. Add the dead voters and well, you get Brandon. Let’s go Brandon. F JOE BIDEN
Gymcy81,
Your points are well made, but your formatting detracts from the readability of your comment.
That said, I will suggest a headline for your comments –
The US Federal Government has become over the last 90 (FDR) – 170 (Lincoln) years (and I could argue 1812 or earlier as the watershed moment) been “established” as the compulsory, State Religion.
The resurrection of the Republic will not occur until We The People chase the Psychopaths out of Government at every level.
Prepare to make hard decisions (and understand mistakes will be made), we owe it to future generations:
http://www.minddisorders.com/Flu-Inv/Hare-Psychopathy-Checklist.html
I want to concur. Gymcy81’s comments always seem thoughtful but I never finish reading them because they are too hard to read.
I remember being aghast in 2016 when I learned there were 90,000 DOJ employees. NOW there are 115,000!! A 28% increase!
Defund the BEAST! The govt. is too large and it will only become abusive to the citizens. There can be ZERO justification for a DOJ of this enormous size. Especially when they are a political department and protect corrupt politicians.
It is obviously too large when it is involving itself in local school boards!
They were nowhere to be found as American cities burned in 2020.
DEFUND THE BEAST! If 74 million of us stopped paying taxes… hmmmm
