'Grooming' perfectly describes 'ideological manipulation' in schools: former teacher
The former public school teacher said kids are groomed on a regular basis, regardless of whether the grooming is sexual in nature every time. A former Indianapolis curriculum coordinator and public school teacher says "grooming" is the "perfect word" to describe what happens in classrooms. Tony Kinnett, previously put on leave and then fired for exposing critical race theory in schools, explained how "grooming" occurs in classrooms. He said it can occur with both racial and sexual topics.

Emails surface more evidence Hillary Clinton paid for anti-Trump disinformation operation
This fact highlights Democrats' outrageous exploitation of intelligence credentials and connections to launder slanders against a political enemy. Evidence continues to mount that the Hillary Clinton campaign paid former MI6 agent Christopher Steele to launder fraudulent opposition research through U.S. intelligence agencies. Newly published internal emails reveal that before Fusion GPS hired Steele on behalf of the Clinton campaign to dig up dirt on Donald Trump, the opposition-research firm began peddling several of the same Russia collusion lies that the former MI6 agent would later detail in the Steele dossier. This fact highlights a significant aspect of the Spygate scandal that deserves further focus and condemnation: Democrats' outrageous exploitation of intelligence credentials and connections to launder scurrilous accusations against a political enemy.

Ukraine crisis a result of US policy goals - Russia
Washington's concept of a US-centric world is a neocolonialist project based on racism and American exceptionalism, Moscow believes. The current conflict between Russia and Ukraine is a direct result of the West's push to create a unipolar world, one which has involved NATO's unabated eastward expansion, Moscow's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told China's Xinhua News Agency in an interview published on Saturday. "The US and NATO have always seen Ukraine as an instrument of containing Russia," the minister said, adding that the reasons that eventually prompted Moscow to launch its military operation in Ukraine stem from a years-long western policy that included stirring up anti-Russian sentiment among Ukrainians and forcing them to make a "false choice" between the West and Russia.

More than 1,000 firefighters battle 150 square mile wildfire in New Mexico
More than 1,000 firefighters backed by bulldozers and aircraft battled the largest active wildfire in the US on Saturday after strong winds pushed it across some containment lines and closer to a town in northern New Mexico. Preliminary overnight mapping imagery indicated that the fire that has burned at least 166 homes grew in size from 103 square miles on Friday to 152 square miles by early Saturday, officials said. Ash carried seven miles through the air fell on Las Vegas, population about 13,000, and firefighters were trying to prevent the blaze from getting closer, said Mike Johnson, a spokesperson for the fire management team. Calmer winds on Saturday were aiding the firefighting effort after gusts accelerated the fire's advance to a point on Friday when "we were watching the fire march about a mile every hour", said Jayson Coil, a fire operations official.

It's About Time
Isn't it always? With the start of World War III by the United States "declaring" war against Russia by its actions in Ukraine, we have entered a time when the end of time has become very possible. I am speaking of nuclear annihilation. I look down at my great-uncle's gold Elgin pocket watch from the 19th century. His name was John Patrick Whalen, an Irish immigrant to the US who fled England's colonialist created famine in Ireland. It tells me it is 5:15 PM on April 21, 2022, a date, coincidentally, with a history. No doubt John looked at his watch on this date in 1898 when the United States, after the USS Maine exploded from within in Havana harbor (a possible false flag attack), declared war on Spain in order to confiscate Spanish territories - Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines. One colonial power replaced another and then proceeded over the long decades to wage war and slaughter these island peoples. Imperialism never dies. It is timeless. One hundred and twenty-four...

Get woke, go broke: Jill Biden biography by fawning AP reporters, sells just 250 copies in first week
Covering the White House has 'become a bore' for journalists now that Trump is gone The American people are decidedly disinclined to pay $26 for a book about the life of President Joe Biden's primary caretaker. Politico reports that a recently published biography of Dr. Jill Biden, Ed.D, sold just 250 copies in its first week of circulation. The Politico article, which documents the professional anxiety of White House correspondents who find it "boring and difficult" to cover an administration whose policies they wholeheartedly support, cites the poor sales of Jill: A Biography of the First Lady by AP reporters Julie Pace and Darlene Superville as an example of why journalists are so bummed out now that a Democrat is in charge.

Who knows?" Since the old days when the medical establishment expanded the use of vaccines to supposedly cure everything under the sun, they claim that they have saved countless lives, yet it seems that many people whether they are in the medical field or not, accept the notion that vaccines are the only answer that can cure a disease or help people stay healthy.

Frozen diplomatic talks with US may resume once goals of special operation are achieved - Moscow
The dialogue on strategic stability between Russia and the US may only resume after all the goals of Moscow's military operation in Ukraine are achieved, a high-ranking Russian diplomat has said. "As of today, there's no use talking about any prospects for negotiations on strategic stability with the US," Vladimir Yermakov, who heads the Department for Non-Proliferation and Arms Control at Russia's Foreign Ministry, pointed out on Saturday. "This dialogue is formally 'frozen' by the American side," he said, adding that Washington's moves concerning the matter "are being pointed in the complete opposite direction" than those of Moscow.

'Errors' identified in New Mexico Dominion voting machine software are similar to those in Tennessee units
Another issue with the software in Dominion voting machines was reported last night in New Mexico. Earlier this week we reported that there were errors found in the EAC certified Dominion machines in a recent election in Tennessee. The 'glitch' moved a ballot and all ballots after that ballot to the adjudication process. From there the ballots could be manipulated since [they were] not processed in the normal count process. Nick Moseder reports: "What can you do with provisional ballots set off to the side? You can mass adjudicate them anytime down the road however you want and then tabulate them to the count using the RTR process outlined in the Dominion user manuals." [...] Now according to the test laboratories and the EAC, this "anomaly" was related to "the imported D-Suite 5.5 election definition used on the D-Suite 5.5-B system." In other words, a ton of ballots were marked as provisional, and mass adjudicated because the machines had an outdated software configuration, which...

Millions of Alaska-bound honeybees die at Atlanta airport
Hundreds of pounds of honeybees were set to ship from the Lower 48 to beekeepers across Alaska last weekend, but died in transit when the crates carrying them were left for hours on a hot tarmac in Atlanta. Soldotna beekeeper Sarah McElrea said the loss is devastating. She runs Sarah's Alaska Honey and also teaches classes and coordinates shipments of bees to beekeepers around Alaska. On Sunday, she was waiting at the Anchorage airport for a shipment of 800 pounds of bees from a distributor in Sacramento, California. It was the first of two shipments that she had ordered on behalf of more than 300 Alaskan beekeepers. "We had a load that was going to Fairbanks, and then we had somebody else that was going to distribute from Wasilla to Talkeetna. And then we were going to do Anchorage and the Valley. And then our second one would've come in the following day, and we would've taken that one back down to the Peninsula to fulfill the rest of our orders." But the plan hit a snag when the...

Silver alert: Most want brain test for Biden and Pelosi
In a growing sign of voter concern about the cognitive abilities of the nation's elderly leadership, a majority of voters back brain tests for both President Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. "SILVER ALERT 58% say cognitive test time — 55% say Biden won't last his term," tweeted John McLaughlin in drawing attention to the latest McLaughlin & Associates survey. In the survey, shared with Secrets, 58% said Biden should take a test and release the results. Just 30% said he shouldn't. The results follow a series of apparent mental flubs by the 79-year-old president, the latest being a flip, flop, flip on calling for the ouster of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Yesterday, his staff wrote him a notecard titled "Tough Putin Q&A Talking Points."

Amish farmer faces $250K fine, jail time and losing his sustainable farm for processing his own meat
Amos Miller's private food club members say they don't want their grass-fed meat treated with the chemical preservatives required by all USDA-approved processing plants. Miller practices rotational grazing on his small, holistically managed, century old farm in Bird-In-Hand Pennsylvania. His heritage-breed cows are raised on organic pastures, with the chickens following behind, eating the bugs from their dropping, and whey-fed pigs trampling all the fertilizer back into the ground after that. Around 4000 customers of his private, members-only, food buying club are dependent on his meat, eggs and dairy products, as well as fermented fruits and veggies... and are willing to spend top dollar to get it shipped to them all over the country, as they don't trust food from the grocery store. But a couple of weeks ago, a federal judge told Miller to cease and desist all meat sales, and sent armed U.S. marshals to search his property, farm store and freezers. They took an inventory of all...

His heritage-breed cows are raised on organic pastures, with the chickens following behind, eating the bugs from their dropping, and whey-fed pigs trampling all the fertilizer back into the ground after that. Around 4000 customers of his private, members-only, food buying club are dependent on his meat, eggs and dairy products, as well as fermented fruits and veggies... and are willing to spend top dollar to get it shipped to them all over the country, as they don't trust food from the grocery store.

As a result, on April 22, Turkey made a decision not to participate in the...
