Are Unions Helping, or Hurting Its Members?

When I was a full-time teacher and forced to be a member of my local, state and national teacher's union, I highly resented it.

Not only were they taking monthly dues out of my paycheck, but when it came to presidential campaign season, the only union postings in the teacher's lounge were for Democrats. If any conservative teachers complained, they told us to quit whining and pound sand.

In the first third of my 30 year career in the classroom, my state legislature announced that because of the disparity of pay between the western region versus the eastern region of our state, the legislature in their infinite wisdom would take all school districts off of the levy system that individual districts imposed on taxpayers' property and put all teachers in the state on the allocation model set by them. Teachers across the state would get the same pay whether they lived in Ritzville on the east side and paid only $500/month rent for their crash pad, while teachers on the west side of the Cascade mountains paid $950/month for the same.

I made a prediction based on what I analyzed about the situation back in the mid-80s. Eventually, this statewide allocation model would revert back to the levy system. Sure enough, this is precisely where we've arrived at today. In doing so, the union has created its own financial problem.

Not too long ago a U.S. Supreme Court ruling went in favor of those who didn't want to be forced to pay union dues; the Janus decision. However, as a response to this ruling the unions are now getting laws in state legislatures to make it next to impossible to get out of unions, and have contributed to essentially erasing the gains made by the McClary decison in WA state Supreme Court only last year.

While teachers may have gained a massive percentage increase in their salaries, they may find themselves resenting getting it in the future.

No Collusion Or Obstruction

That's right! Read it and weep, liberals. Despite your obsession with revisiting your mid-70s victory, you gambled and LOST! As Don Henley sang, "Get Over It!"

I'm not going to waste any time, after 2.5 years and 35 million of our taxpayer dollars wasted on what we knew then when it started and all through this ridiculous journey, going into any details on it. We're fed up to our eyeballs with it and on the stupid power play these jerks in Congress have claimed - Trump is a TRAITOR!!! - and most likely, as with most of what goes on there, will get away without any consequences for saying so. It's perfectly clear that Congress is not about looking out for the good of the country, but for their own good and enrichment!

The biggest missing item in Mueller's Report is all the evidence which is there for who's to blame for concocting this whole hoax; Hillary! With pending indictments and investigations going on about this side of all of this, there will be some fast and unbelievable news coming out. But, you'll only hear it on the conservative news outlets.

Done! Over! End of story! Good - bye!

Compelled Speech is Fascism


The left claims they are the tolerant ones. They assert that they are for freedom of speech, but ONLY if it agrees with their ideological expectations.

This current trend of political correctness by today's leftists belies these claims and assertions when they put people into jail for refusing to go comply. It's neither tolerant nor honoring individual opinion. For an example of what's going on with this, I recommend this video from PragerU. George Orwell was more a prophet than a fiction novelist.

The only reason such trends are occurring is because too few of us are paying attention to what our local school boards, city or county councils, or state legislatures are doing. What are they doing? They're changing policies or laws to transform society's norms progressively, and already some are discovering it too late.

A.G. Barr Brings Accountability, By Kimberly Strassel

It appears some people are getting nervous in D.C.
= = = = = = = = =

Trump’s foes call it ‘stunning and scary.’ Here’s what they have to be scared about.

 
By 
Kimberley A. Strassel
April 11, 2019  
Attorney General William Barr says he believes that the Trump presidential campaign was spied on, and that he wants to make sure the subsequent investigation was "adequately predicated."
The most inadvertently honest reaction to Attorney General William Barr’s congressional testimony this week came from former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. Mr. Barr had bluntly called out the Federal Bureau of Investigation for “spying” on the Trump campaign in 2016. Mr. Clapper said that was both “stunning and scary.” Indeed.
No doubt a lot of former Obama administration and Hillary Clinton campaign officials, opposition guns for hire, and media members are stunned and scared that the Justice Department finally has a leader willing to address the FBI’s behavior in 2016 They worked very hard to make sure such an accounting never happened. Only in that context can we understand the frantic new Democratic-media campaign to tar the attorney general.

Bill Barr Digs Into 2016 Trump Campaign
Bill Barr digs into the 2016 spying on the Trump campaign, and Netanyahu wins again.
Mr. Barr told the Senate Wednesday that one question he wants answered is why nobody at the FBI briefed the Trump campaign about concerns that low-level aides might have had inappropriate contacts with Russians. That’s “normally” what happens, Mr. Barr said, and the Trump campaign had two obvious people to brief—Rudy Giuliani and Chris Christie, both former federal prosecutors.
It wasn’t only the Trump campaign that the FBI kept in the dark. The bureau routinely briefs Congress on sensitive counterintelligence operations. Yet former Director James Comey admits he deliberately hid his work from both the House and the Senate. And the FBI kept information from yet another overseer, the judicial branch, failing to tell the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that the Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee had paid for the dossier it presented as a basis for a surveillance warrant against Carter Page, a U.S. citizen.
Why the secrecy? Mr. Comey testified that the Trump probe was simply too sensitive for members of congressional intelligence committees to know about—an unbelievable statement given the heavy publicity he gave the investigation of Mrs. Clinton’s improper handling of classified information. Here’s a more plausible explanation: Mr. Comey and his crew have also testified that they were all convinced Mrs. Clinton would win the election. That would have meant that no politician other than the incoming Democratic president would have known the FBI had spied on the Trump team. Nor would the public. A Clinton presidency would have ensured no accountability.
Mr. Trump’s victory destroyed that scenario, and it became clear that the new Republican president would soon know that the former Democratic administration had surveilled his campaign on the basis of information from his rival, At that point two things happened. Neither was accidental, and both were aimed, again, at forestalling accountability.
First, Mr. Comey and other intelligence officials, including Mr. Clapper, engineered the public release of all the scandalous claims against Mr. Trump, to provide some cover. As liberal commentator Matt Taibbi notes in his new book, “Hate Inc.” Mr. Comey’s Jan. 6, 2017, briefing of the president-elect about the dossier was a classic Washington “trick.” It served as the “pretext” to get the details out, a “news hook” to allow the press to publish the dossier—with its salacious fictions about prostitutes and Moscow hotel rooms—and go wild.
Democrats used the furor in their successful push for a special counsel, which gave greater legitimacy to the FBI’s probe. The appointment of a special counsel also froze other oversight. Congress can’t have access to certain documents or ask witnesses certain questions, since that might interfere with the probe. The White House can’t demand answers, because that too would interfere. Mr. Trump’s adversaries got to hide behind Robert Mueller for nearly two years.
Second, Democrats mobilized against the other big threat, incoming Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who had the authority to conduct an internal review. Don’t forget, the dossier wasn’t delivered only to the FBI. Its ultimate owners were the Clinton campaign and the DNC. And one huge outstanding question is just how many Democrats pushing for Mr. Sessions’ recusal in early 2017 did so with full knowledge of the FBI-Clinton tie-up. Certainly no Republicans were aware, and thus they were clueless to the bigger consequences of the unnecessary Sessions recusal.
Namely, that no outsider would take a hard look at the FBI. The Russia question fell to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, an institutionalist who would go on to sign the final application for a surveillance warrant against Mr. Page. Again, no accountability. Meantime, wonder why Democrats tried so hard to mau-mau Mr. Barr into also recusing himself? The goal all along has been to deep-six any discovery until a Democrat returns to the White House
Mr. Barr didn’t merely refuse to recuse; he’s made clear he plans to plumb the FBI’s actions thoroughly. That makes him Threat No. 1 to everyone who participated in these abuses, and it’s why the liberal media establishment is now disparaging his integrity. They are stunned and scared—that accountability has returned to the Justice Department.

Where's Congressman Gowdy When We Need Him?

Here we are, nearly a year and a half after one of the best legal minds on justice in Congress has left, to now learn that the Mueller investigation found no collusion with the Russians on the Trump Campaign's part to rig the election.

And why did he leave? To understand that, I suggest reading this article which provides the information from him, rather than through me.

But why do I say that he was the best legal mind when it comes to justice in Congress? Well, for that I suggest watching this fifteen minute video on the hearing of Gowdy's questions to the Inspector General Horowitz who's been tasked with digging into the details behind much of this, and comments about, the F.B.I. agents Stroke and Paige's involvement in the Russia Collusion Hoax, Clinton investigation for espionage, and Mueller's team for a brief time when it began, and you'll understand why.

I'm certain that it will help clarify things as to why the Liberals in Congress who are now "in charge" are scrambling to deliberately confuse the public - who most likely hasn't ever seen the video I've provided here - as to the definition of what the word "spy" means. But, If the level of "expertise" for the Democrat lead committees is indicated by Cong. Maxine Waters' knowledge about who is in charge of student loans, then I'm not too worried.

I won't be surprised to learn in future news releases - given Congressman Devin Nunes's recent announcement - that there will be some players in this hoax going to jail in the future. Just wait and we'll see.

Learning From History & Science

In our current culture of instant information and communi-cation it's become apparent to me that we, as a people, seem to be losing sight of the broader perspective of knowledge and truth.

More specifically, I'm referring to how the news is focused on how A.O.C. - Congresswoman from N.Y. - has captured our attention on the "threat of climate change" and how we must do something - like spending hundreds of trillions of dollars we don't have on top of what we already owe ourselves in our national debt to completely eliminate modern modes of transportation and at the same time eliminate a source of food - cows - because they produce too much methane; never mind what the rest of the world's countries are producing above what our nation does; like China, to name one.

We've all heard for years from Al Gore and company that the science is settled, or the consensus in Science leaves no doubt that if we don't eliminate "greenhouse gases" radically, and soon, then we'll see the oceans rise, and temperatures create unbearable increases. Of course, many times they've said, "In ten years we'll see Florida under water!" or, "The north pole ice cap is disappearing!" or, "We've got twelve years, at best, before our species is eliminated because of climate change!"

So, you're probably wondering as well what I'm referring to in the phrase, "...the broader perspective of knowledge and truth." in my opening sentence of this post. Well, I'll let a video which speaks to the issue A.O.C. believes justifies her demand that her "Green New Deal" become law to explain just what I mean by that phrase. If the viewer pays close attention to what is explained - I know, for some this five minute video may give too much information for one to focus on for that long, but if you try, you can do it - it will become clear. So, please, give it a try!

Cabal Connections of Corruption on the Left

I've posted this once before, but it's such an eye-opening piece about how "connected" and "closed circle of friends" the elite in government have been, that I had to post it once again. If one's been paying close attention to the revelations which have been coming out over the last two years, it makes perfect sense! And, this is what Pres. Trump is dealing with when he speaks of the "swamp"!
= = = = = = = = = = = =
Let’s follow the trail......  Everyone needs to read this. Slowly, and patiently, because it’s very important......

Here's what it looks like when all the pieces are sewn together. It smells like conspiracy and treason.

From 2001 to 2005 there was an ongoing investigation into the Clinton Foundation.

A Grand Jury had been impaneled.

Governments from around the world had donated to the “Charity”.

Yet, from 2001 to 2003 none of those “Donations” to the Clinton Foundation were declared.

Hmmm, now you would think that an honest investigator would be able to figure this out.

Guess who took over this investigation in 2002?

Bet you can’t guess. None other than James Comey.

Now, that’s interesting, isn’t it?

Guess who was transferred in to the Internal Revenue Service to run the Tax Exemption Branch of the IRS?

Your friend and mine, Lois “Be on The Look Out” (BOLO) Lerner.

Now, that’s interesting, isn’t it?

It gets better, well not really, but this is all just a series of strange coincidences, right?

Guess who ran the Tax Division inside the Department of Injustice from 2001 to 2005?

No other than the Assistant Attorney General of the United States, Rod Rosenstein.

Now, that’s interesting, isn’t it?

Guess who was the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation during this time frame?

I know, it’s a miracle, just a coincidence, just an anomaly in statistics and chances, but it was Robert Mueller.

What do all four casting characters have in common?

They all were briefed and/or were front line investigators into the Clinton Foundation Investigation.

Now that’s just a coincidence, right?

Ok, lets chalk the last one up to mere chance.

Let’s fast forward to 2009......

James Comey leaves the Justice Department to go and cash-in at Lockheed Martin.

Hillary Clinton is running the State Department, on her own personal email server, by the way.

The Uranium One “issue” comes to the attention of Hillary.

Like all good public servants do, you know - looking out for America’s best interest, she decides to support the decision and approve the sale of 20% of US Uranium to no other than, the Russians.

Now, you would think that this is a fairly straight-up deal, except that it wasn’t: The People got absolutely nothing out of it.

However, prior to the sales approval, no other than Bill Clinton goes to Moscow, gets paid 500K for a one hour speech, then meets with Vladimir Putin at his home for a few hours.

Ok, no big deal right?

Well, not so fast: the FBI had a mole inside the money laundering and bribery scheme.

Guess who was the FBI Director during this time?

Yep, Robert Mueller.

He even delivered a Uranium Sample to Moscow in 2009.

Guess who was handling that case within the Justice Department out of the US Attorney’s Office in Maryland?

No other than, Rod Rosenstein.

Guess what happened to the informant?

The Department of Justice placed a GAG order on him and threatened to lock him up if he spoke out about it.

How does 20% of the most strategic asset of the United States of America end up in Russian hands when the FBI has an informant, a mole, providing inside information to the FBI on the criminal enterprise?

Guess what happened soon after the sale was approved?

~145 million dollars in “donations” made their way into the Clinton Foundation.

Guess who was still at the Internal Revenue Service working the Charitable Division?

No other than, Lois Lerner.

Ok, that’s all just another series of coincidences.  Nothing to see here, right?

Let’s fast forward to 2015.

Due to a series of tragic events in Benghazi and after the 9 “investigations” the House, Senate and at State Department, Trey Gowdy who was running the 10th investigation as Chairman of the Select Committee on Benghazi discovers that The Hillary ran the State Department on an unclassified, unauthorized, outlaw personal email server.

He also discovered that none of those emails had been turned over when she departed her “Public Service” as Secretary of State which was required by law.

He also discovered that there was Top Secret information contained within her personally archived email. ( Let's not forget  - at least 10 CIA spies in china were killed by the Chinese because of the leaks, and God knows what else occurred )

Sparing you the State Departments cover up, the nostrums they floated, the delay tactics that were employed and the outright lies that were spewed forth from the necks of the Kerry State Department, we shall leave it with this... they did everything humanly possible to cover for Hillary.

Now this is amazing:  Guess who became FBI Director in 2013?

Guess who secured 17 no-bid contracts for his employer (Lockheed Martin) with the State Department and was rewarded with a six million dollar thank you present when he departed his employer? No other than James Comey.

Amazing how all those no-bids just went right through at State, huh?

Now he is the FBI Director in charge of the “Clinton Email Investigation” after of course his FBI Investigates the Lois Lerner “Matter” at the Internal Revenue Service and exonerates her.

Nope.... couldn’t find any crimes there.

Can you guess what happened next?

In April 2016, James Comey drafts an exoneration letter of Hillary Rodham Clinton, meanwhile the DOJ is handing out immunity deals like candy.

They didn’t even convene a Grand Jury.

Like a lightning bolt of statistical impossibility, like a miracle from God himself, like the true “Gangsta” Comey is, James steps out into the cameras of an awaiting press conference on July the 5th of 2016, and exonerates The Hillary from any wrongdoing.

Can you see the pattern?

It goes on and on, Rosenstein becomes Asst. Attorney General, Comey gets fired based upon a letter by Rosenstein, Comey leaks government information to the press, Mueller is assigned to the Russian Investigation sham by Rosenstein to provide cover for decades of malfeasance within the FBI and
DOJ and the story continues.

FISA Abuse, political espionage.... pick a crime, any crime, chances are..... this group and a few others did it.

All the same players.

All compromised and conflicted.

All working fervently to NOT go to jail themselves.

All connected in one way or another to the Clintons.

They are like battery acid, they corrode and corrupt everything they touch.

How many lives have these two destroyed?

As of this writing, the Clinton Foundation, in its 20+ years of operation of being the largest International Charity Fraud in the history of mankind, has never been audited by the Internal Revenue Service.

Let us not forget that Comey's brother works for DLA Piper, the law firm that does the Clinton Foundation's taxes.

And see, the person that is the common denominator to all the crimes above and still doing her evil escape legal maneuvers at the top of the 3 Letter USA Agencies?   Yep, that would be Hillary R. Clinton!


WHO IS LISA BARSOOMIAN?

Let’s learn a little about Mrs. Lisa H. Barsoomian’s background.

Lisa H. Barsoomian, a US Attorney that graduated from Georgetown Law, is a protege of James Comey and Robert Mueller.

Barsoomian, with her boss R. Craig Lawrence, represented Bill Clinton in 1998.

Lawrence also represented:

Robert Mueller three times;

James Comey five times;

Barack Obama 45 times;

Kathleen Sebelius 56 times;

Bill Clinton 40 times; and

Hillary Clinton 17 times.

Between 1998 and 2017, Barsoomian herself represented the FBI at least five times.

You may be saying to yourself, OK, who cares? Who cares about the work history of this Barsoomian woman?

Apparently someone does, because someone out there cares so much that they’ve “purged” all Barsoomian court documents for her Clinton representation in Hamburg vs. Clinton in 1998 and its appeal in 1999 from the DC District and Appeals Court dockets (?).

Someone out there cares so much that the internet has been “purged” of all information pertaining to Barsoomian.

Historically, this indicates that the individual is a protected CIA operative. Additionally, Lisa Barsoomian has specialized in opposing Freedom of Information Act requests on behalf of the intelligence community. And, although Barsoomian has been involved in hundreds of cases representing the DC Office of the US Attorney, her email address is Lisa Barsoomian at NIH gov. The NIH stands for National Institutes of Health.

This is a tactic routinely used by the CIA to protect an operative by using another government organization to shield their activities.

It’s a cover, so big deal, right? I mean what does one more attorney with ties to the US intelligence community really matter?

It deals with Trump and his recent tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum imports, the border wall, DACA, everything coming out of California, the Uni-party unrelenting opposition to President Trump, the Clapper leaks, the Comey leaks, Attorney General Jeff Sessions recusal and subsequent 14 month nap with occasional forays into the marijuana legalization mix …. and last but not least Mueller’s never-ending investigation into collusion between the Trump team and the Russians.

Why does Barsoomian, CIA operative, merit any mention?


BECAUSE….


She is Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s WIFE….That’s why!!
