Comrades, wrong think will be punished. There are only correct thoughts accepted.
Vladimir Putin is a totalitarian dictator who does not allow dissent within his cabinet. Putin does not align with free thought. As a consequence, all of the right-thinking people in the world must unite to crush the wrong thinking people… because freedom demands it, or something.
ARLINGTON, Va. — A substitute teacher is suspended after he reportedly expressed support for Russian President Vladimir Putin in the classroom.
The Washington Post reports that John Stanton was substitute teaching a Spanish class in Virginia on Friday when he said he backed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and urged students to read Russian state propaganda outlets. (read more)
It’s all so confusing. We need Beyonce’ to tell us what to do.
In the interim, enjoy higher gas prices.
Here’s “right think”.
Posing with a NN flag would only be concerning if her family history included NSDAP membership and collaboration…
Chuckle
Her grandfather was a German Nazi collaborator fro Ukraine who relocated after the war to Canada.

Yes. And her flag. Hard to believe not intentional.
We are all Ukrainians now.
(And Nazi sympathizers)
We punch YOUR Nazis in the face.
Our Nazis? We arm them.
Bidan is comproimsed.
The Russians and the Chinese have VERY SERIOUS COMPRIMAT on Bidan.
Bidan will give Ukraine to Russia, he basically has.
Bidan has given Afghanistan to the Chinese.
Bidan will give Taiwan to China.
That’s what traitors do. Betray your country.
All China would have to do is play the long game.
US and Russia goes at it.
No matter who would be “declared ” a winner….both US and Russia military would be depleted.
Who really comes out on top? And without even getting involved or firing a shot.
We need to stay out of Ukraine. For a slew of reasons !
Now Kamelalala is talking about a “small” incursion into Ukrainian airspace. And people are talking about flying A-10’s low and slow under Russian radar to help Ukraine blow up tanks and convoys. Are these people bloody insane!?
answer: yes.
Whomever came up with the name “Roosterhead” deserves a commendation.
Direct hit.
Probably Sundance came up with “Roosterhead.”
In an empire of lies, truth is treason.
Surprised there is a teacher in Northern Virginia of all places not falling in line with “Putin bad”. Somebody should hire him.
That is actually the shocking part of the story.
Sooo, Putin is a good guy. then?
Putin is RATIONAL. Meaning, you can understand his actions without condoning them.
Biden/NATO/the West are IRRATIONAL. Meaning, no thinking person with a love for liberty and country can square the DC cabal circle.
Compared to what? Obama’s puppet regime in Ukraine?
Gas up 24 cents more today where I live.
Similar here in St Augustine. We will soon look back at this as the days when gas was cheap.
Gas up to $3.89/ gallon in Delaware.
$3.99 at wawa – one hour later $4.19 S.E. PA
In Northern Michigan – $3.89 as well.
Diesel 4.70 in Ct
$3.69 in SE Ohio yesterday. Don’t want to waste the gas to go look again today.
Today I drove about 250 miles through several cities in middle western Georgia, USA. $3.89 was the highest gas price I saw, but I bought $23.00 worth @ $3.60 a gallon at one place hoping to find some at least 10 cents a gallon cheaper further down the road. Ended up topping off the tank with a $28.00 purchase @ $3.58 a gallon. In other words, $3.58 was the very cheapest I saw today.
I made a similar trip this past Tuesday but hitting different cities and the highest I saw that day was $3.59 and the cheapest was $3.39; so, it has increased about 20 cents a gallon in two days.
Last week, I paid $3.26 a gallon.
My observation during the Biden regime has been that gas prices have increased about every 2 – 3 months, stayed up for about the same period and then dropping about 1/4 the amount it had increased. It would stay at the ‘lower’ price for about 2 -3 months and then the cycle repeats. But the amount of increase seems to be higher each cycle.
If that trend continues, HOPEFULLY, we might see a slight decrease soon before the next cycle hits in another 2 – 3 months. However, even with this up/down cycle, we still have plenty of time for it to hit around $7.00 by year’s end.
Makes me think of that proverbial frog in boiling water; and we all know how that turned out… So, we’ll probably be well done by the end of the year!

Record high gas prices where the prices are already FAR HIGHER than the rest of the nation
The way you start these essays with “Comrades”…. cracks me up every time.
A year more of this crap, you’ll be docked 100 social credit points for not referring to your fellow American as Comrade.
Only the beginning.
A mayor in Ukraine, sympathetic to the Russian position, was arrested and executed and left in the street.
The UniParty would love to have the same “flexibility” here in dealing with those who have “inappropriate beliefs” and who ask too many of the “wrong questions”.
Too many bad guys to keep track of, frankly.
Absolutely yes, I so agree with you. I am a retired University educator. I saw this every day among the “enlightened” professors.
What I witnessed in higher education was this: If your opinion does not match the group thought, it shall not be tolerated.
When I went to a local community college forty years ago, we were asked to write an essay about what we would discuss with anyone, alive or dead. I chose Jesus Christ. When he collected the papers and glanced over them he saw mine and asked if I was serious. I said, “ And you’re not?” I failed the assignment.
It’s been going on for a long time, apparently.
I bet that was a fun paper to write.
Sanctioned speech is free all other has a cost moving rapidly to approved thought is free unapproved is punished
I’ve often wondered why democrats, and educators in particular, don’t find themselves supporting Russia, and even Putin.
After all, they proudly consider themselves socialists, and they push that agenda hard.
As Vladimir Lenin said:
“The goal of socialism is communism.”
In particular, I’d think the educators are aware of this.
It leaves me thinking they want communism, but are not yet fully willing to come out of the closet about it. But they keep opening the door a bit wider all the time….
Why no support for him?
Because, he is not a communist.
Putin referred to communism as a “blind alley”
You don’t have to “support him” to question whether he’s being used for nefarious purposes that will be harmful to us
For example, if our govt and media are conditioning us to beg them to intervene when intervention is bad for us, it makes sense to “support Putin” (only in a loose sense) to repel the propaganda war on us.
Up until 1990 or so these Democrats would have walked through a burning building over hot coals barefoot for an Athiest Bolshevik Soviet Union but all that changed when Russia shed Communism and became Orthodox Christian. Now the same people who gave the Soviet Union our atomic bomb secrets which would have killed 200 million Americans, their young children and themselves hate Russia with a passion.
There’s still a lot of people pissed that the Iron Curtain disappeared.
The devil works all the time in this fallen world. His minions are among us disguised as neighbors. They are tricked to do his work. We should pray they get saved but fight them if they don’t.
Confused by your post. Russia not Communist.
It is Parliamentary Democracy. They just had legislative elections September 2021. The President is elected for 5 years and next Presidential coincidentally will be 2024.
The USSR was Communist.
They should study that. It didn’t work.
Looks like, after the fall of the USSR, the commies merely moved into Washington DC.
This is definitely a Uniparty operation
Of course they want it, they are already prestigious wards of the state. A more powerful state means more wealth and prestige for them.
Wow drdeb, a welcome voice. Would you send your children (or grandchildren) to a university today? I have two in a university now with a third starting in the fall. I dread the propaganda they are and will be getting.
I have one in college (grad school) at Liberty Univ. there’s always the very conservative university option
Bless you
It will reach the point when they start going after Christians. We’re witnessing the beginning of the the Antichrist system for real. And don’t anyone give me that bullcrap about the mark being money, please.
The mark is money.
Just kidding. I am like that sometimes.
The entire WEF globalist system being forced on the US is to create the one world socialist government that the anti-christ emerges from
To win the whole world — and lose your soul.
That is the choice at hand.
Take your pick: It’s either Transhumanism’s thirty pieces of silver or else the eternal salvation of the HUMAN soul through Jesus Christ.
Can’t be both.
The key to saving humanity is our willingness to die in the flesh before the ‘mark of the beast’ destroys our DNA and thus our free will.
It all boils down to a game of chicken. Will you be riding with St Michael or with Lucifer?
The people of Switzerland need to kick that pompous lard ass out of their country!
He is pushing for a very un-Swiss kind of world.

hey you, Shmalz!
I agree. We must stand together in the gap. Christ has won the victory, and because he has, we fear not
You wrote, It will reach the point when they start going after Christians.”
Already has.
Holding onto your faith in the late ’70’s and ’80’s was tough.
Not so much in the late ’50’s, ’60’s, and early ’70’s; despite all the media (get that – media) attention given to Woodstock, et al. The young people who went to college in the early ’60’s were as apt to embrace the Jesus movement in their pursuit of love, peace, and freedom as they were drugs. Some did both – start with Gram Parsons. Most went on their conventional ways, as always.
I know: I was there on the SF State campus at that time, knew some people as friends and knew firsthand of others. What is commonly remembered in the pop culture sphere is a distorted and shallow view of what happened. I have a book, The Black Sheep Boys, forthcoming – if I have time to write. Much else to do these days.
In the ’60’s there was an academic world that valued freedom of inquiry and intellectual honesty. That world produced such scholars as Victor Davis Hansen. I’m sure he woulkd agree: those fires are all but extinguished on the modern university campus. Fuzzy-headed thinking and the socialist doctrinaire mindset have replaced what once was a different sort of liberal academic tradition, one which encouraged lively and well-founded debate rather than squelching it. Sadly, young minds are being squelched by the institutions that once housed and protected klnowledge from the forces that now rage from within.
It will reach the point when they start going after Christians.

Reach the point?
The people of faith pogrom/purge has begun in the USA.
There are thousands who have lost their means of support due to their Christian faith and refusing the jab in the USA in the past year.
very shocking
Dear Moderator – I mistakenly flagged this one wonderful comment while trying to figure out that link thing – kindly disregard!
I wanted to save the comment and I messed up.
I’m not an admin but in similar situations, I’ve seen an admin respond that no action is taken relative to a comment unless several (5, I think) people flag it; so, no worries. 🙂
Right?! The layers of evil and deceitful motives are dizzying. I am starting to wonder if we’re seeing a regime change operation in Russia
I think a regime change is more likely to happen in Ukraine, after Russia defeats the current one there.
When it rolled out World War Reddit, the State Department spoke of combating “misinformation” on social media.
We know where this is going… the covid-related censorship tools will soon be directed at “pro-Russian misinformation.”
Anti-war sentiment is soon to be labeled as misinformation, fact-checked, and then banned outright.
. . . and they will justify freezing the bank accounts and life savings of everyone deemed ‘sympathetic’ to Russia by simply asking a question or for verification of some govt created talking point like Canada did to the truckers and their families.
Never before in wars were the life savings and paychecks of citizens snatched up by the imposing enemy. This really is a first.
As a commenter said on one of the you tube talk shows, how would Warren Buffett or Bill Gates feel if China decided to freeze all their assets because of something FJB does?
Hmmm….
“Vladimir Putin is a totalitarian dictator who does not allow dissent within his cabinet. Putin does not align with free thought. As a consequence, all of the right-thinking people in the world must united to crush the wrong thinking people…”
This has nothing to do with why averting eyes from the Russian invasion of Ukraine is dishonourable and dishonest.
If Ukraine’s borders are not inviolate from its powerful neighbour no border is and the Russian apologists can have no objection in principle when it happens again….and again.
Averting eyes? Disapproval? Who? Where?
Acknowledged: Putin is invading Ukraine. We disapprove.
What more do you want? Seriously. What are you demanding we do? What adjectives or virtue signaling do you require for us to pass your test of dishonesty?
If you want to go and fight Russia, by all means go. The Lincoln Project Brigade is waiting for you.
Come, come….the meme here is that it’s not a bad thing at all…..because Biden supports Ukraine.
Hence your agitation when called.
There is no meme. There is examination of the facts surrounding the instigation of the invasion. There is no evasion that the invasion is occurring. There is no attempt to say the invasion is OK because of that instigation.
The lesson here is that corrupt Western influences have meddled in Ukraine, used it as a cesspit of money laundering, and employed deliberate provocations most likely as nothing more than an attempt at diversion from domestic failures.
Biden supports Ukraine. Indeed he does. a full ten percent.
As for agitation, it is on you for your desire for unbridled hatred against Putin to the exclusion of any background context and perhaps for an unwillingness to expend yet more American blood and treasure.
indeed, two corrupt states.
And the only thing that really matters is:
“If Ukraine’s borders are not inviolate from its powerful neighbour no border is and the Russian apologists can have no objection in principle when it happens again….and again.”
“As for agitation, it is on you for your desire for unbridled hatred against Putin to the exclusion of any background context and perhaps for an unwillingness to expend yet more American blood and treasure.”
What a nonsense straw man.
Then answer the question. What is it that you want. Why is it so hard for you to do that rather than continue your charade.
Want? Not much.
Perhaps a little self awareness here that if Biden supported Russia the blog meme would be for the integrity of Ukraine’s borders.
Not true.
Prove it. Show us an example where conservative solutions are rejected just because Biden might support it.
Of course, that is an impossibility because Biden would never do such a thing. But, I will give a hypothetical.
Say Biden waived regulations on oil and gas production.
Now go ahead and tell us that would be attacked. It would definitely be analyzed in context of why but the actual waiver would be supported.
“conservative solutions”
Errr….what?
Russia invaded Ukraine.
You seem to really value the integrity of Ukraines borders.
Why are you here bleating about it man? You should go and collect your free WEF rifle in Kiev post haste, and walk, nay run to the front lines!
Sam you seem to labor under the misapprehension that if someone believes we should stay out of it, it somehow translates to supporting Putin.
Puerile.
Some of us need more reasons than just feelings. Stepping into a kinetic war on the border of a Nuclear armed power, into a regional conflict, of no strategic importance to us, is the height of hubristic stupidity.
Nuclear inferno for EVERYONE lies at the end of this moral and emotional media driven outrage, not “justice”
Doing the right thing, and doing the best thing, isn’t always the same thing… This notion is contrary to what your TV is currently telling you.
Staying out of it, is the sane choice.
Right….so any country can invade any country for the reason that a national minority resides within. You can’t object anymore.
You’re a genius….alas, with a one hour event horizon.
Show us an example of where conservative solutions are rejected…. Interest rate policy under Trump anyone???
?
Bet you didn’t care when Stalin invaded Poland!
That’s certainly consistent with Hanbun’s theory of acceptable invasions.
I don’t think the Polish people considered it acceptable!
Keeping part of Poland after WW II’s end seems OK to you? That’s what the Ukraine did. Ukraine left the defunct USSR and kept the Crimea. The Crimera was Russian land for hundreds of years that the communist USSR just tagged onto the Ukraine in 1954 as an internal house re-arranging. The Ukraine kept it too.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territories_of_Poland_annexed_by_the_Soviet_Union
There you go again.
Examining background facts is not apologizing.
Attacking examination of facts is gaslighting.
well, really 3 corrupt states. don’t leave US out! US get’s to play too
Ukraine seems to pick a color every few years and then starts a Revolution. Rose war guess they couldn’t decide on a color thst year
They are their Color revolutions .
East Ukraine vs West Ukraine. Brutal and bloody civil wars and overthrow government. A war just for the sake of war.
Every 5-10 years. Look up Minsk Protocol 2016.
Then look up Donbas War.
US got involved in 2013 – 2014 when Obama and cronies put their puppet in office.
When people read about Russia when they put missiles in Cuba during the Cold War and our response and realize the obvious parallel to the concerns Russia has repeatedly expressed and the warnings he has given to NATO and Ukraine
And people are Still pro Ukraine and NATO…I shake my head.
QED.
Sam, your statement has the ring of age old wisdom, but it isn’t true. Just because a border is inviolate today doesn’t mean someone violate it tomorrow. Very few situations are black and white. Putin being a communist (or not) does not end the discussion. If you don’t want to peel back more layers, you don’t have to. But please be respectful of those of those who do. Peeling back more layers doesn’t mean anyone excuses Putin for anything. It just means some people have more tolerance for nuance
Right…….
So when China reclaims it’s territory called Taiwan you will have no problem with the general principle of invasion for those reasons.
And that’s a perfectly legitimate view.
“But please be respectful of those of those who do”.
?
Taiwan has displayed no aggression towards China and the population of Taiwan doesn’t want to be part of China. So, there’s a difference!
Ukraine was continually attacked by Russian military supported separatists in the 2 eastern provinces. Ukraine has never attacked Russia.
Ukraine does not want to be part of Russia. The 2 eastern provinces excepted. Putin is about to conquer the whole of Ukraine and absorb it
Feeling foolish?
That’s exactly what I said earlier the Eastern provinces of Ukraine want to be part of Russia instead of being shelled by Nazi Ukrainian militia every day. Are you feeling Bolshevik? It’s very strong in you today!
You haven’t heard then….
Putin wants to reincorporate all Ukraine into Russia. Against its will.
Ukraine and the Russian militias have been shelling each other for a decade…. nothing unusual about that.
The principle of invasion won’t concern you.
Russians living in eastern Ukraine want to be part of Russia? It’s not their land to decide to be part of Russia. The average Ukrainian who’s taken crap from previous Russian governments looks at it as simply as that. Now that doesn’t mean we should directly be involved. I have Ukrainian ancestry. I don’t want boots on the ground, no fly zones or any of that lunacy. If Ukraine has to die in order to prevent a much larger and worse conflict, then so be it. But don’t be a moron and pretend to care about the Russians living in eastern Ukraine. If they want to be part of Russia, they can move there.
“It’s not their land to decide to be part of Russia.”
Quite so.
There been little examination of facts on here. Mostly, it’s linking to nytimes articles and inventing conspiracies, such as Biden was letting Ukraine into NATO tomorrow. The majority of people on this site believe in q / anti American lies of such a degree it would make Michael Moore blush.
Sundance has said repeatedly there are no truly good actors here. Just because Sauron and Saruman fight between themselves doesn’t make either of them good.
Ahhh… a test
There’s also Biden’s Trans Team Six. They’d be thrilled to have you join!
Research Donbas War. Then ask about those people.
Ukraine’s western land was Polish land that the Soviet Union took when the USSR and Nazi Germany divided Poland in 1939. The USSR gave it to the SSR Ukraine and when WWII ended, the USSR and the Ukraine kept it and the USSR took eastern German land and gave it to a reformed Poland. In 1954, the USSR readjusted it’s internal boundaries and gave the Crimea and part of what used to be Russian territory to the Ukraine.
The Ukraine cares about “inviolate boundaries” seemingly after it absconds with other nation’s territories.

You won’t have any objection when China retakes its territory of Taiwan then.
Ok.
The Chinese are going to retake what is now Chinese territory?
Bad analogy on your part.
How about the Soviet backed Chinese Communists chased the Nationalist Chinese onto a Chinese island. The Chinese Communists never had Taiwan but the Nationalist Chinese at one time had most of mainland China.
Gobblegook. Taiwan was always part of China. Deny away though.
Whoooshh … right over your head! That’s the point.
Taiwan is part of China and has Chinese living there, and always has. You’re advocating for the Communists to take over the last free part of China. You seem to imagine the Chinese Communists are re-taking Chinese land from non- Chinese.
Give me strength….
Taiwan is part of China’s national territory, always has been.
The Govt of China, whatever its complexion, can, according to your Russian Protocol of Invasion, take back Taiwan for exactly the same reason.
Taiwan is now, and has been for centuries, in the hands of a legitimate Chinese government. You seem to have difficulty with the concept of there being a legitimate Chinese government running things on a Chinese island.
Or maybe you think the only true Chinese is a Chinese Communist.
Oh please….a tiny island govt with 24 million vs 1,500,000,000 + is a legitimate govt of territory that is China’s. Don’t be silly.
What’s galling you is that I won’t fall for your adolescent trick to try and make me say Red China has as much right to Taiwan as I think Russia has to parts of Eastern Ukraine.
We both know what we are talking about.
“Tricks are for kids!”
” Red China has as much right to Taiwan as I think Russia has to parts of Eastern Ukraine.”
Yeah, and you know that’s the only conclusion possible when you support the Russian Invasion Protocol. Unless of course your world is tribal and principle free.
What is “tribal”?
Nice going, leaving out the 1st 18 words in my sentence that you “quote”. Of course, my real quote is right above your concoction.
Red China has no right to inflict communism on the freedom loving Chinese living on the Chinese island of Tawan.
Sovereignty and border integrity is so hot right now.
Invading Iraq, coup d’états in Libya and Ukraine, or millions of criminals illegally streaming across the Southern border, is passe, and so last year.
The Corporatist church of the One World Government, clearly has no appreciation for irony.
Any second now the ACLU will charge into the fray and rescue free speech. Or not.
LOVE your sense of humor.
Along with the SPLC.
I like Putin a whole lot better than I like Biden and Pelosi right now. Don’t know any of them personally, but I’m aware of how deep and wide the corruption is over here. I guess it’s the constant barrage of propaganda in our own country that causes me to think there’s another story to consider. Funny how the Left is pushing us towards our own “enemies”. And no, I’m not on Reddit or any of the Chans! It’s a natural instinct to turn away from obvious B.S. and seek other answers. Just sayin’. Maybe our unLeaders should think seriously about their “approach” to the rest of the world. I think the “Russia, Russia, Russia” hand was over played and we’ve been a country known for helping the under dog. So, yeah, you’d think they would think all of this through… They’re so trapped in their own little boxes and can’t get outside in the sunshine and see the realities we all live with.
I NEVER expect the truth from known habitual liars.
And since all the known, habitual liars are telling us to hate Putin and send our money and troops over there to defend the poor Ukrainian people, I’m guessing the reason why Putin is there has something to do with ending the happy dance of government billionaires and their graft families right here in the good old USA.
Just a hunch.
we have our own oligarchs to take care of right here at home
I have been thinking “alot” along those same lines, LookUp: “…ending the happy dance of government billionaires and the graft families right here in good old USA.” Habitual liars think we are STUPID!!
Actually, they are making Russia the underdog!
The boatloads of propaganda are so massive and all the fake images (children saluting, heartbreaking leavetaking, ghost pilot( plus the people who are telling us what side we must choose (Goerge Sorors) that it is all just too odiferous.
I’m surprised the NWO narrative engineers didn’t throw in starving puppies and snow leopards for Pete’s sake.. It’s all so predictable.. always the propaganda and the lies and send us more MONEY.
I think they are Panicking.
Zelensky and Ukraine are losing their PR push.
And not many people have even talked about Donbas War yet!
It’s only been going on for–7yrs. 10 mos. 3 weeks and 4days!
Where is the media been covering that?
I’ve never seen so many banner ads for one cause appear on my computer screen.
And not once since the invasion started, have I entered the word Ukraine into a search engine.
The combined cost for the PR and marketing blitz must be staggering.
I already saw a full-page newspaper ad and a propaganda banner strewn across a downtown restaurant. They’ve trained the sheeple to salivate at the sight of candles and teddy bears on Fakebook.
We have outsourced not only our common sense but our empathy, as well, to the New/ One World Order.
After they kick out the last leg of our teetering economy, their newly- minted, transhuman slaves will gladly demo the last vestiges of Main Street and the middle class. Because misery surely loves company, the drowning sheeple will inevitably sink every remaining life boat in the free world.
Not sure about everyone else here, but I’ve never seen Putin grovel.
Putin never made me choose between my job and taking an experimental vaccine.
can’t see him taking a knee for anything
There are some very sharp folk in VA. Used bookstores are often packed with world history and war history books. Teacher sounds like an independent thinker/researcher.
I hope I can chime in here having much experience in Education.
Teachers believe the following:
a) the networks or “corporate media” are 200% gung ho right wingers and spewing out propaganda 24/7.
b) NPR/BBC/CBC etc are 200% absolute truth.
c) They are among the few geniuses with the mental capacity to comprehend this truth.
d) The West is a bees d–k away from total right wing tyranny and these are the darkest of times. Be ever vigilant.
e) They are never wrong.
This is where the education system is all across the West.
Oh, and they are underpaid angels, slaving away for your child for a pittance of what they should really be getting.
ROLF….thank you for this! As an ex-teacher, it’s the best thing I’ve read all day. 😀
Then I figured that out correctly.
The look-down-your-nose -at-the -stupid of the educators was always so tremendously surprised that a simple stay-at-home-parent could ever raise such intelligent, well adjusted kids
that run circles around them.
Like a 12 year old that questioned why a glass of ice water doesn’t overflow the glass as the ice melts when her teacher went on and on telling her about how the melting poles caused by global warming were going to drown us all. She got thrown out of class for being smart. I told her it was better than remaining there and being stupid. When brought in with the principal for discussion, I asked them to answer her question. When they could not, I smiled. I know why. I learned it in science class.
I heard , on the radio this morning, the next push in our area’s failed urban public school system. The teachers want a 4 day work week, 3 day weekends every week. Of course in a system where reading and math proficiency are south of 20%, it’s well deserved.
Yes. They are so far below par.
Honestly, it really upset me, the low-level garbage I had to give school kids to read. Slang, vulgarity, swearing. Sledgehammer themes about racism, sexism etc etc. Way way below them. All brainwashing tripe. But, “Great reads” to according to the faculty.
Anyway, a strongly worded email from the dept. assured me that I will be “immediately arrested” if I enter school grounds due to my vax status, and “investigations” might be carried out prior to that also to determine why I am not vaxxed.

What is truly depressing about the whole Jan 6 protest is that the left has done this many times before. I remember scenes of a mob taking over and sleeping in the Wisconsin state capital building and there have even been protest mobs in the US capital as well.
Here is a new one. And yet the left still gets away with cosmic level hypocrisy in treating it like free speech. The ACLU would definitely go to bat if any prosecution was attempted against them.
Remember: Nancy Pelosi said “Dissent is the highest form of patriotism” (against Trump)
And of course, it is meant in the usual leftist way:
Our dissent is patriotism
Your patriotism is insurrection

Conflict is upon us from all sides, change is in the air. Perhaps this 60 year period where women came to the fore in so many ways is about to be eclipsed by men being men in so many ways. Divorce is upon us. Hillary can’t get rid of Bill but she sure does have Trump in her sights, along with a large group of women in political life. Michelle knows she could play a dominate role in national politics but Barack keeps showing her what the good life can be and she just may not leave that behind. Nance, if you watch her closely when she walks, is starting to bend over, top heavy I suppose. The younger women are trying to push to the front with rabid cries for attention. As to the males, some want to fight outright, others prefer the ambush method to achieve power.
Business people play a game where one survives on profit, a few rise to the top be creating great profits, but all come to learn that when creating a system you need to make it work or you die…profit for them is not a dirty word. Trump knows how to make things work, he is from New York City and has played (interacted) with all kinds of characters, both good and bad. He is a winner in his game.
Trump tried to help America, his style was rebuffed with so much mist about that election the truth(s) may not appear for years. Expect him to make a return, but if he spots a candidate who would be better at being President…expect him to back that candidate…Melania will have a say, bet me!

Maybe it’s just me, but when George Soros, Kraus Schwab, Trudea and the other WEF alumni, their EU and UN puppets, the Democrats, Rinos, Zuckerberg, whatever fascist pricks run Google and Twitter these days and the same heads of every organisation that donated to BLM tell you that Zelensky is a paragon of virtue and Ukraine is basically Camelot remade?
That’s when you know for certain that Putin has right on his side.
Sometimes none of the players has right on their side. But if you invade a sovereign nation, I’d say you’ve got a hefty dose of wrong on your side.
Just one power broken in a battle is corrupt doesn’t mean the other one involved need be elevated in any way.
Putin invaded Urkraine and people are suffering and dying because of it. We can do all the analysis we want and have any opinion we want, but nothing can refute the fact that Putin has waged war against another country.
Putin is waging a war against the american oligarchs and their european proxies.
He will not allow them to make Ukraine another proxy, guaranteeing that the warm water port is shut down to Russia.
Warm water port.
Guess it would be OK for Putin to do like Russia did during the Cold War and put missiles in Cuba?
He gave warning after warning.
Fiddlesticks. Putin has been under attack for years.
Soros detests him and has manipulated the West/NATO into using Ukraine as a stalking horse.
Putin is defending himself and his country from a nakedly hostile coalition of foreign interests on his doorstep.
Zelensky and his WEF buddies are using Ukrainian civilians as pawns.
Attitudes like yours are what the liberal left count on.
Liberals can count on nothing from me. But I can see that having even a shred of compassion for people who are being attacked does not go over well here. No room for “keep them in your prayers” or the like, apparently.
“But if you invade a sovereign nation, I’d say you’ve got a hefty dose of wrong on your side.”
Putin did not invade a sovereign nation. He invaded a globalist colony where the government has fake election after first ousting the Russophilic legitimately elected president in a violent coup and then banning the opposition party from running in the future. Those running Ukraine are not only not running it for the Ukrainians, those running Ukraine are not Ukrainian.
Election data from the two elections prior to the 2014 coup show clearly that the eastern half of Ukraine is not on board with being a colony of the European-backed globalists. They have been under enemy occupation for 8 years. If Putin annexed the whole thing (he won’t) then you could make a case, but if he only takes the Russophonic east, then I call it liberation and justice.
Apophenia
Pray tell how many Ukrainians have suffered/died/dying because Putin “invaded” Ukraine. I assume you have the receipts for your numbers?
Wonder if donations will be seized like they were in Canada//s
I wonder how the U.S. bioweapons factories in Ukraine are faring.
Is it true we have bioweapons factories there?
You think it’s that simple? Just because one side is evil doesn’t make the other side the good guys. Ukraine deserves this because the globalists have their claws in them? Guess what? They control our country too. Should America be destroyed by Putin too? You know he’s got the nukes to do it. I mean, using your logic, “Putin has right on his side.”
It’s not that Putin has right on his side.
It’s that there IS another perspective that is missing from the propaganda that is broadcasting toward us.
What we are seeking is the big picture so that we may have a wiser understanding and view.
No one is without compassion for the Ukrainians, they are caught in the crossfire and may possibly be used as cannon fodder by their own government.
And like us, they have been abused and lied to by the amerikans.
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
Goebbels smiles from the grave, he would be proud!
Welcome to the USSA
Following up on that, when I was a student I studied a subject they told us was called “Mass Communications,” for several years. Basically, it is media studies. Each year, every new course required me to write a new report which proved that the “signifier” did not have to have any relation to the “signified.”
The prescribed textbook was always full of this kind of claptrap and repeated it verbatim, or in “diverse”other forms (Do I get points for using that word, sir?) I did not quite get the import of it at the time but my gut told me it was nonsense. It never sat well with me.
So, what does it mean? It means, the message does NOT need to have any relation to the truth. The superficial overlaid message is the key, the signifier itself. The signified, the content, can be lies. Just bang away with the message and it will get through and become fact.
So…yeah…there you go, it became codified into systematic technique. Still sits poorly with me though.
Elon Musk issues important warning about systems he deployed to Ukraine.

I think I have this figured out. We must hate Putin because he is a nationalist. And white. A white nationalist. That and he helped Trump steal the election because Trump wanted to build a hotel in Moscow so hookers could urinate on the bed. Or something like that. Plus, and this is really important, he is attacking the place where the Biden’s made a lot of money in really sketchy deals and the Biden’s are pure so Putin must be bad. All we need to know is where was Putin on J6? I am sure the FBI was tracking his phone.
Remember when Putin left his phone in President Trump’s office trying to wiretap and overthrow him?
Oh, wait–that was Dirty Bob Mueller.
Is there anyone out there that still doesn’t believe mimetic contagion is real at this point?
Mimetic rivalry?
I received the Alabama Nursing Association(commie victim oriented) mailer and the board had a “special” meeting on how to “stop” nurses social media misinformation. The good news out of it is most nurses do not belong to the commie org. However there is a big push to “control” in every medium. I post this just to open eyes to level they are hammering and monitoring people.
We get regular bulletins where I work telling us how to think – BLM, Remdesivir saves lives, Zelensky is a hero, poor Ukranians are being killed, if you’re white you’re probably racist, and so forth. Whatever happened to two things you don’t discuss at work – politics and religion?
I’m not objecting to teacher’s opinion, but as a general rule I prefer my daughter’s teachers stick to the subject. I sympathize with teacher wanting students to hear other opinions
MNN Breaking News UPDATE…
Russia Times (RT), the American branch of Russia’s State-Run Media, is shutting down according to CNN, the American branch of America’s State-Run Media.
This is due to the “completely unforeseen” circumstance of Vladimir Putin invading a country every few years like clockwork except when Donald Trump is President.
China largely ignored Biden’s speech, however, since they wrote it, and will continue to publish the Congressional Record and Federal Register as usual.
“…and if you’re really blowing it, we will signal you to stop speaking by having Pelosi rub her wrists together, the internationally-recognized symbol of political suicide.”
Manufactured News Update: “Remember When Wm. Randolph Hearst’s Yellow Journalism and Warmongering Were Considered the Absolute Worst Kind of Journalism? Neither Do We!”
Even honest journalists that know Russian and the Ukraine recognize how confusing the whole situation is but mainstream media seem to think they know what is going on in Putin’s mind and what is happening throughout Ukraine. How reliable has their reporting been on this area since 1991? Not at all inspiring.
Have you seen what they are doing to Russian hockey players in the NHL, specifically Alex Ovechkin? He once expressed support for Putin and had to make a statement last week asking for “no more war”. His wife, 2 sons, parents, etc , are currently in Russia and people are mad that he’s not denouncing Putin. Here’s a couple articles from a fairly politically liberal Washington Capitals fans site. It’s one of ONLY 2 sites from which I have been banned from commenting because I called one of them out on trashing President Trump the day the Caps visited the White House.

Pravoslavophobia
will increase in the U.S.A.
I saw a video once with Oliver Stone and Putin both claiming to be Christians but of course actions speak louder than words.
S*** like this is why I do not believe Vlad is working with the Globalists. You can tell by how protective our leadership hierarchy is of Ukraine. And you can visibly see the Davos media swarm. Sometimes God will use some less than perfect characters to have his will done. THE ENEMY of MY ENEMY is MY FRIEND!!
We may know more certainly if Putin returns his currency to the gold standard. That would be the very opposite of joining in the new global financial system.
my seventh-grade teacher, Mr. Lee Gibson, introduced us to Ayn Rand – by having us read “Anthem” (( went on to read more by her and about her that summer)
I must be anciently old!
Why do I have a feeling Russian Americans will be put into internment camps soon?
Was wondering how the Russian Americans are handling all this instant hatred from their fellow citizens here in the US. It’s got to be very hard to deal with figuring out what to do or say.
Could be the reason we begin to stand up: for our fellow citizens against the gov?
Just think. if he had invited them to choose their pronouns, he’d be receiving the teacher of the year prize.
So, these idiot Democrats and the news media think that Tweets, YT Videos, and Cancel Culture are going to help Ukraine defeat Russian Katyusha Rocket barrages like this bombarding Kviv:
It’s one thing to invade and start a war and another thing to defend your Country.
There are people out there that are opposed to murder but if you call it by another name they are okay with it.
Murder by another name AKA War, Abortion, Euthanasia. Once you rename it they think it is acceptable. I guess God will be the final Judge.
A Nazi cultural purge Hitler and Stalin would be proud of is happening around the world.
Munich has fired their preeminent conductor Valery Gergiev because he would not denounce Putin.
In an American University which name I cannot remember, Fyodor Dostoevsky is being banned…Russian, you see.
And just reported, the magnificent soprano Anna Netrebko, possessor of one of the most magnificent voices today, has been disgracefully dismissed from the Metropolitan Opera.
The list of Russian performers, conductors, music(?), some of the most beautiful ever written, authors and their literary works are being banned in a most terrible way.
Nazi book burning is apparently the template for this. Will anyone make the connection? I suspect no one. Grotesque and sickening.
It’s worse than that. Support for putin is a proxy, just like the jab is. Just like homophobia and ‘racist’. A proxy to ‘get’ those who they otherwise could not.
They’re running the same play as they have for over a decade now, just changing the color of the ball every now and then and hoping everyone will see a different play instead of a different color ball.
Expect more proxies before they’re driven from power. Many more.
Am I the only one who wonders what compels a substitute Spanish teacher to feel the need to voice ANY opinion on the Russian invasion of Ukraine with his students? Shouldn’t he focusing on, oh I don’t know, spelling, grammar, pronunciation? Stuff like that? Is this guy an out of work actor between gigs or something?
No wonder our kids are messed up. Even the temporary help are hyper-politicized nut cases.
Anyone who teaches history tries to offer opposing viewpoints, even if he/she disagrees with them. This is in an attempt to develop the critical thinking skills of students, and not have them accept everything at face value. The only thing the teacher did wrong was not teach Spanish like he was supposed to.
Putin doesn’t have a justified reason for destroying an entire country and creating millions of refugees IMO. War is humanity’s ultimate folly and it should only be used as a tactic when it is a last resort for a nation’s survival. How many kid’s lives will be snuffed out? How many kids can no longer sleep in their own beds or enjoy their regular routines with their families? How many fathers will never see their families again?
The list of brutal atrocities that war causes is very long and Russia was not in imminent danger of an actual invasion by Ukraine or any other country as far as I could see. A war waged due to one man’s opinion is not a wise path for any nation.
WW II was a long and brutal war that provided time to spread comfort and hope to its participants through songs. This Ukraine war will likely be “nasty brutish and short” even if peace talks are successful. It will be a war that is soon forgotten except by those that fought it or suffered its brutal effects.
Was President Kennedy justified to take the United States to the brink of war when Russia put missiles in Cuba? What about Russian tanks and bombers in Mexico along our Southern border? Would the United States be justified to invade Mexico? What if Mexican Military was shelling San Diego for the past four months and refused to stop?
So, you’re comparing non nuclear Ukraine to Russian nuclear missiles in Cuba and Russian tanks and heavy bombers in Mexico. The threat comparisons are incredibly different. Despite all the Zelensky bravado, Ukraine was not a serious threat to conquer or seriously harm Russia.
President Kennedy secretly agreed to remove American nuclear missiles from Turkey to end the Cuban missile crisis. Nukes are in a category all their own.
I’m ready for you to argue with a more convincing reason for Putin to go to war against the people of Ukraine. My original post was also too long so I had to reduce it. I cut out the part where the NeoCons, NeoLibs and western leaning highly corrupt Ukrainians were goading Putin with their anti Russia rhetoric and other tactics etc. I think he fell into their trap and his long time dream of uniting Ukraine seemed possible due to the weakness of Biden.
But most of the “ordinary” Ukrainian people (not the corrupt) and many Russians will pay the price for Putin’s dream.
Haven’t the people of Ukraine and their Nazi Militias been at war with the Russians in Eastern Ukraine for years?
You lost me as soon as you mentioned, more or less, “…but the children!”
“Alternative views are verboten” (or despised) must be your modus operandi in “discussion” threads.
Australian TV …
https://brandnewtube.com/watch/asked-to-leave-for-asking-a-question-on-a-q-amp-a-show-ukraine-russia_vSwKILBma9jx33t.html
You’ll want to see this. An Australian Russian is kicked out of a show called Q & A for asking why the one sided support of Ukraine against Russia? What follows is unbelievable.
Corporatist fascism in action.
Info posted with nothing to back it up. Opinions posted that are the worst of Monday morning quarterbacking. Where is Gunny66 when we need him? Haven’t seen any posts by him in too long a while. Anyone know anything about him? He was always the voice of reason.
I’m against the war being waged against Ukraine and her people, but support Putin standing up against the WEF, Soros and the NWO
From the time I was a wee lad, I remember my parents always saying there is a silver lining to every cloud, and that when God closes a door, He opens a window.
Well, I see a bright, shiny cloud lining, and there may be a window open: I see national bankruptcy as our only hope. When the government is no longer the last, best hope of rescue and support, maybe we can then decimate our bloated government, unemploy tens of thousands of petty bureaucrat tyrants, badge and automatic gun carrying thugs, and cynical, deeply corrupt politicians (both parties).
The Ukraine side-show is a shiny object meant to take our minds off an open and undefended Southern border, shocking inflation (and not nearly as bad as its going to get), and a tyrannical government (state and federal) that is still intoxicated with their use of unconstitutional emergency powers during a sketchy pandemic.
I guess my only question is do the WEF globalists really think they are in control, and if so, how do they plan to handle events when the US economy tanks, including the rage and desperation of Americans.
I’m thinking Cloward-Piven looks good on paper, but then again, academics have a lousy batting record dealing with real world consequences.
Think I’m gonna watch one of those “Purge” movies this evening…..
Their power comes from bribes with fiat currency. They needn’t produce anything of value. When the currency is useless, they will be monetarily disempowered. Then back to Mao, power from the barrel of a gun. If federal dollars dont matter. New York craters, then states exit. Then the feds will threaten nukes against breakaway republics. It will be soviet decline all over again. We will never be rid of the evil. They are shape shifters. Nuremberg 2.0 for the medivaxx murderers. Nuremberg 3.0 for the economic murderers. (Yes murderers-famine, civil unrest, gangs, etc.)
When the currency is useless, they will be monetarily disempowered. Then back to Mao, power from the barrel of a gun. If federal dollars don’t matter. New York craters, then states exit. Then the feds will threaten nukes against breakaway republics.
Your comment is wise and informed. Most people don’t think our totalitarian tyrants will use nukes to save their status. I say they are wrong. Our tyrants hate us more than than hate anyone else–and they’d rather rule in Hell and exist in modest peace on earth.
It’s still so amazing to me that they are willing to kill the goose that lays the golden egg.
Unless they are certain they have replaced the goose….
I agree but also say these insane people will have underestimated the sovereign citizens….
Putin is a vicious, evil tyrant. There really isn’t any doubt about it. Over the past 20 years, or so, he has nevertheless outflanked the USA and positioned himself to reintegrate the old Soviet/Russian Empire. There’s little we can do about it in the short term. We’re certainly not in any position to prevent Russia’s conquest of Ukraine, and going to war for that purpose would be madness. Over the long run, however, we must rededicate ourselves to winning a second Cold War, and THIS time ensure that a despotic, expansionist Russia will never again emerge to threaten us or the world.
Your assertions are weak. Reviews the evidence of this map.
The sad thing is that the “divide and conquer” strategy utilized by [ liberals, lefties, supposedly “free” Western goverments, the Uniparty, the globalists, WEF, NATO, the EU, big tech, the propaganda state press (aka MSM), etc. ] – the sad thin is that IT WORKS.
Right here, on this very site, I’ve been reading for days now, posts about which “side” is the, well, “least bad” side.
That’s divide and conquer – right there. Right HERE.
The fascinating thing, to me, is how “we” don’t see it when it applies to “us”. We’ll argue and argue about it – not seeing our own divides.
So… if we don’t see it where applicable to ourselves; I have to give some benefit-of-the-doubt to all those “brainwashed liberals” that also don’t see it (but that “we” HERE endlessly discuss).
A takeaway for me is that if the issues “strike close to home”, then one does not see it. Those brainwashed liberals don’t see it on their side because the issues strike close to home for them (in terms of what they want). We see it in them because it doesn’t – and thus we can point it out. THEY do the same thing in regards to us.
Apparently, “they” (TPTB) continue to find ways to get “us” to also fall for divide and conquer. This entire Ukraine / Russia production is looking to be very effective at deploying divide and conquer against the “side” that thinks they don’t fall for it. But ohhh, they do.
They do fall for it. It just takes the right “hooks”. And “they” keep finding new ones to hook us.
“Our” side is probably as bad as “their” side in terms of falling for the propaganda. It just takes different forms of propaganda to reach us – and we don’t see that. But they’ll successfully control “us” like they control “them” by just using different programs geared to each “audience”.
/oh well ( it is what it is )
And they do it well. Vaxx/noVaxx and Russia/NWO is two divide and conquer dichotomies. But really it is 4 factions. They keep slicing. People keep squawking. It is exhausting.
There needs to be a separation between Putin and Russians. I have known many Russians who left Russia because of the type of government Putin exudes. They are very happy to be here and to have freedom. Same goes for Ukrainians who knows what it is like to be under the thumb of Russia.
Putin was KGB, has always been KGB. He rules Russia and maintains his control in Communist- KGB fashion, corruption and all.
