Texas leaves school board group that wanted DOJ to target parents

 Daily Caller:

The Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) announced it was leaving the National School Boards Association (NSBA) on Monday over a review of a letter from the organization that suggested the federal government investigate parents as potential domestic terrorists.

The TASB said it was leaving the NSBA over “operational deficiencies” as well as a “lack of internal controls” after the NSBA released a review Friday of the letter that it sent to the President Joe Biden in September 2021, according to a press release. The TASB decided the report showed that NSBA was not managed well enough for the TASB to remain in the group, the release said.
...

“We have been intently waiting for the release of this independent investigation for nearly two months,” said TASB Executive Director Dan Troxell. “With this report now available, it’s clear that NSBA’s internal processes and controls do not meet the good governance practices that TASB expects and requires in a member organization.”

The letter “directly contradicted” the core commitments of the organization, NSBA Executive Director & CEO John Heim said in the review. (RELATED: Texas School Board Candidates Sweep Elections With Help Of Anti-CRT PACs)

The letter requested that Biden use domestic terror laws, including the PATRIOT Act, to police parents at school board meetings, citing “threats of violence.” The Department of Justice (DOJ) allegedly targeted members of parents groups following the NSBA’s request.

Treating parents concerned about their child's education as terrorists has to be one of the nuttiest reactions to demands for accountability in history.  The demands came as an outgrowth of parents finding out that schools had been pushing the CRT racist dogma.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
