San Francisco School Board Removes 44 Names from Schools: Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson

 

Schools in San Francisco, California, will be stripped of names honoring famous American leaders deemed unworthy because of a connection to slavery or other unsavory ties, including Presidents George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson.

 

John Muir, Francis Scott Key, and Catholic Priest Junipero Serra are also on the list.

 

In all, 44 school will be renamed, even as critics of the decision cite the committee tasked with picking the schools did not receive enough input from historians and a lack knowledge about the current school names.

 

“In one instance, the committee didn’t know whether Roosevelt Middle School was named after Theodore or Franklin Delano,” the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

 

And despite concerns that the city has more important issues to address, including the coronavirus pandemic, rampant drug overdoses, and an ongoing homelessness epidemic, the city’s school board believes it can handle multiple issues, including erasing history from the halls of education.

 

The Chronicle reported on the controversial move, which also includes stripping the school named after sitting Sen. Dianne Feinstein because as Mayor she replaced a Confederate flag that was vandalized at City Hall:

 

The months-long debate garnered national attention, with former President Donald Trump tweeting about it, stoking an ongoing culture war that has intensified in recent months.

 

Many San Francisco parents — as well as Mayor London Breed — argued the effort was ill-timed given the pandemic and the impact on children, especially students of color, and the fact that students are not even in the schools subject to renaming. Some criticized the board Tuesday for focusing on symbolism rather than the urgent reality facing struggling students, who are approaching a year in distance learning, with many struggling academically, socially and emotionally.

 

And the renaming is likely to be costly. It’s unclear how much the district will spend on new signage, repainted sports fields or gym floors, athletic, band or other uniforms, and other administrative costs. But based on other districts across the country, it could cost San Francisco at least $1 million to rename the 44 school sites and potentially significantly more. The district faces a significant budget deficit, which could reach $75 million next school year. The board’s Tuesday night agenda did not include items related to the academic or health impact on students or about reopening schools to the youngest or most vulnerable students.

 

Some of the school names have been opposed long before this cancel culture effort, including James Denman Middle School because Denman wanted to deny Chinese students a public education, and Adolph Sutro Elementary, named after a man who discriminated against blacks.

 

The board also unanimously voted to issue a formal apology to Native American families for “land theft and the pain and trauma caused by racist imagery, textbooks and mascots, while allocating $200,000 to the district’s American Indian Education program.”

 

The board will also require the school district to remove all Thanksgiving stereotypes such as headdresses, and to remove “misinformation” from textbooks, including that Pocahontas was a “willing and curious prisoner.”

“[President Trump] Had About 80 Million Votes and Biden Had Much Less Than That” – Sidney Powell Continues to Speak Out on 2020 Election

 

Sidney Powell was on Skyline News on Biden’s Inauguration day and she shared her thoughts on that significant day in History.

 

Powell like many Americans was concerned that this is a turning point for the country and the world. She has a website

defendingtherepublic.org where they are keeping track of her cases outstanding, all her pleadings and hundreds of pages of evidence show that President Trump did indeed win the election.

 

 

He [Trump] had about 80 million votes and Biden had much less than that, aside from the fact that hundreds of thousands of Biden votes were fraudulent from the get-go. There were hundreds of thousands of fraudulent ballots. There were flipped votes in algorithms run in the various machines and not just the ones from Dominion.”

 

Powell explained that they had to drop a couple of cases because they asked the court to review before the inauguration which the court didn’t do so these cases became moot. When asked about what President Trump knew about the steal, Powell said the following:

 

 

I think the people around him for his entire term have controlled him by controlling the flow of information that he got from the people that he could talk to. There was a massive effort throughout his term to tamp down and limit what he could do by all means possible.”

 

Listen to the rest below and the next actions in performing full forensic reviews of all the ballots in the swing states and across the nation.

 

Americans must know the truth about this election. Americans must trust elections.

Michael Flynn Shot Down ‘Ridiculous’ Allegations Of Improper Contact With Russian Academic That Were Floated By Intelligence Operatives

 

Government documents released this month provide new details about allegations fed to the FBI and media suggesting that Michael Flynn had improper contacts with a Russian academic in the U.K.

Flynn told the special counsel’s office that reports about his interactions with the academic, Svetlana Lokhova, were ‘ridiculous,’ according to a summary of an interview with Flynn.

A confidential source had provided allegations about Flynn and Lokhova to the FBI in 2016. Uncorroborated stories about them appeared in the media in early 2017.

 

Michael Flynn vehemently denied in an interview with the special counsel’s office that he had improper contacts with a Russian-British graduate student when he was an intelligence official in the Obama administration, as had been alleged in news reports and by at least one confidential FBI source.

 

“Ridiculous,” Flynn told the special counsel’s office in a Nov. 29, 2017, interview when asked about articles about him and Svetlana Lokhova, a researcher at the University of Cambridge.

 

Innuendo-laden allegations about Flynn and Lokhova floated around U.S. and British intelligence circles before being published in news stories in March 2017. Former British spy Christopher Steele, the author of the infamous Trump dossier, told an associate that he believed that Flynn had an extramarital affair with Lokhova.

 

At least one confidential government source told the FBI that they had suspicions about Flynn and Lokhova, who studied Soviet-era espionage at Cambridge. According to an FBI memo from Jan. 4, 2017, the FBI informant claimed that Flynn and Lokhova left together following a dinner hosted by Sir Richard Dearlove, the former head of MI6.

 

The allegations about Flynn and Lokhova remained within the intelligence and law enforcement community until March 2017, when The Wall Street Journal and The Guardian reported that American and British intelligence officials developed concerns about Flynn’s interactions with Lokhova during a visit Flynn made to Cambridge on Feb. 28, 2014.

 

Lokhova has long denied have an improper relationship with Flynn, who was director of the Defense Intelligence Agency when he visited Cambridge. She has said in interviews and written in her memoir that she was picked up from the Cambridge event by her husband, and did not leave with Flynn.

 

Flynn’s denial, which has not previously been reported, is significant because he provided it as part of his cooperation with the special counsel’s office. He struck a plea deal with the special counsel’s office two days after the interview.

Israeli Defense Minister Gantz Denounces IDF Chief's Remarks on Iran 'Nuclear Threat'

 

In Tuesday remarks, the chief of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), Aviv Kohavi, alleged that Iran was close to creating a nuclear bomb, and said that as a result the IDF will prepare "additional military operations".

 

Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz on Wednesday commented on recent remarks made by Kohavi, saying that such statements should not be made publicly.

 

“A nuclear Iran is a danger to the world, to the region and is a challenge to the security of Israel. Of course Israel must be prepared to defend itself in any way, but red lines are drawn in closed rooms,” Gantz said at a press conference.

 

Kohavi, in his speech at the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS), said that he had ordered the IDF to develop additional military plans, citing his claims that Iran was close to becoming a nuclear power.

 

Kohavi also slammed intentions of the United States to return to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), claiming that the agreement on the nuclear deal would lead to Tehran creating a nuclear bomb and, in his opinion, should therefore "not be allowed".

 

Gantz was not alone in criticising Kohavi's remarks, as he was joined by former top military official, Amos Gilad, who, according to The Times of Israel, denounced the IDF chief's comments as counterproductive.

 

“If you want to have a negotiation, with all due respect, the prime minister can have a quiet negotiation with the president of the United States. Why insult and excoriate? That’s not how you lead policy,” Gilad pointed out.

 

Kohavi's remarks came amid the possibility of a JCPOA revival, after a former US president, Donald Trump, unilaterally withdrew Washington from the deal in 2018, prompting Tehran to step away from its commitments to scale back its nuclear program.

Head of IDF Announces Additional Military Plans Amid Concerns of Iran's Potential to Create Nukes

 

The Islamic republic has repeatedly stressed that its nuclear program, despite stepping away from the JCPOA commitments, only has peaceful purposes, and that the country has no intention of creating nuclear weapons.

 

Joe Biden, who was sworn in as US president on 20 January, said that he would consider returning to the JCPOA, if Iran complies with the commitments under the deal.

 

In response, Tehran consistently underlined that the US must first lift sanctions against the country before a re-entry into the JCPOA is possible.

US COVID Cases Tumble Across The West & South

 

In the last few days - really since the BIden inauguration - we have seen declarations of victory over covid across the board, from the likes of Dr. Fauci who yesterday said that coronavirus infections may be about to hit a "plateau", to Wall Street, where Bank of America yesterday declared "The Beginning Of The End Of The COVID Crisis." Then, last week, we asked if it was "almost over" when the US saw a record one-day drop in covid hospitalizations.

 

Today, we got further confirmation that the inauguration of Biden was magically just the event that was needed to put covid in the rear-view mirror: as Bloomberg reports, almost every state in the West reported cases falling or flat Tuesday, and every region in the US has seen its seven-day average drop at least 20% since Jan. 12.

RNC Will Not Back Trump in Primary if He Runs Again, Will Stay Neutral

 

 

The Republican National Committee (RNC) will not back former President Trump if he chooses to run for office again in 2024 and will instead remain neutral, RNC chair Ronna McDaniel indicated in a Wednesday interview with the Associated Press.

 

“The party has to stay neutral. I’m not telling anybody to run or not to run in 2024,” McDaniel said, walking the fine line as polls continue to indicate that a sizeable portion of the GOP base continues to back and support the former president.

 

“That’s going to be up to those candidates going forward. What I really do want to see him do, though, is help us win back majorities in 2022,” she told the outlet.

 

Jason Miller, 2020 senior adviser to the Trump campaign, stated that Trump is committed to that goal.

 

He said Trump “made clear his goal is to win back the House and Senate for Republicans in 2022” despite rumors of the former president planning to forge a party outside of the Republican Party.

 

“There’s nothing that’s actively being planned regarding an effort outside of that,” he added.

 

A Rasmussen Reports survey released Tuesday found that a majority of likely Republican voters believe Trump should create a new party, as Breitbart News reported:

 

While a plurality of likely voters, or 45 percent, believe it is a bad idea, a majority of GOP voters, or 53 percent, consider it a good idea, as do 41 percent of those surveyed overall. The survey coincides with rumors of the former president considering forging a new political party outside of the current Republican Party — a rumor which Republican National Committee (RNC) chair Ronna McDaniel has vehemently denied.

 

“I’ve talked to the president [Trump]. I’ve talked to others around the president, who are talking to him every day. He’s not going to start a third party,” McDaniel told Fox News on Tuesday.

 

Similarly, other recent surveys show that GOP voters are not done with Trump, even as Republican lawmakers in Washington attempt to return to business as usual following a contentious presidential election. A recent Politico/Morning Consult revealed that 56 percent of Republican voters “believe that Trump should either probably or definitely run for president again in 2024.”

 

The survey also found that 50 percent of Republican voters say Trump should play a “major role” in the future of the GOP.

Study: 14.5M Illegal Aliens Living in U.S., Costing Americans $134B a Year

 

Roughly 14.5 million illegal aliens live across the United States, costing American taxpayers about $134 billion every year, a new study reveals.

 

An annual study released by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) finds that the illegal alien population in the U.S. has grown by at least 200,000 since 2019 and has cost taxpayers an additional $2 billion since last year.

 

Though the number of illegal aliens in the U.S. has increased, the FAIR study states that growth among the illegal alien population has slowed over the last year because of the Chinese coronavirus crisis and because of former President Donald Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy, which stopped the practice of border crossers being released into the interior of the country.

 

“As many as 60 percent of all new illegal aliens in any given year are those who have overstayed visas,” FAIR researchers write. “Thanks to a timely travel freeze implemented by the Trump administration to stop the spread of the virus, far fewer people entered the United States in recent months, so far fewer people had the opportunity to overstay their visas.”

 

The growth of the illegal alien population and its fiscal burden on taxpayers has been enormous over the last decade, though. In 2010, for instance, FAIR estimated the illegal alien population stood at just over 11 million, indicating a more than 31 percent increase in the population in just ten years.

 

The study found that most illegal aliens in the U.S. tend to live near the southern border or in states that offer expansive sanctuary protections that shield them from arrest and deportation by federal immigration officials.

 

“The ten states with the largest estimated illegal alien populations account for just under three-fourths (71%) of the national illegal alien total,” the study states.

 

Most significantly, the study details the federal government’s ineffectiveness to properly count the illegal alien population — including the annual total of those who illegally cross U.S. borders and visa overstays.

 

“In truth, we do not know exactly how many people cross the border unlawfully and evade immigration authorities,” the researchers note. “We can only estimate these figures based on how many individuals U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement believe slip through their detection.”

 

The study comes as President Joe Biden is easing interior immigration enforcement by only prioritizing the arrest and detainment of those convicted of felonies and seeks a halt to deportations for at least 100 days.

 

Biden has also proposed an amnesty for nearly the entire illegal alien population, a policy that would add millions of foreign nationals to the U.S. labor market at a time of mass unemployment where 18 million Americans remain jobless.

 

Every year, the U.S. gives green cards to about 1.2 million legal immigrants and another 1.4 million visas to foreign nationals. The nation’s mass legal immigration process is in addition to hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens who successfully crossed the border or overstay their visas annually.

Democrat proposes move to expel Marjorie Taylor Greene from Congress

 

LOS ANGELES – In light of numerous reports revealing her repeated endorsements of political violence, Congressman Jimmy Gomez (CA-34) announced today he will introduce a resolution to expel Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA-14) from the U.S. House of Representatives.

 

“As if it weren’t enough to amplify conspiracy theories that the September 11 attacks were an inside job and the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School was staged, a string of recent media reports has now confirmed that Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene had previously supported social media posts calling for political violence against the Speaker of the House, members of Congress, and former President Barack Obama,” said Congressman Gomez. “Such advocacy for extremism and sedition not only demands her immediate expulsion from Congress, but it also merits strong and clear condemnation from all of her Republican colleagues, including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. Her very presence in office represents a direct threat against the elected officials and staff who serve our government, and it is with their safety in mind, as well as the security of institutions and public servants across our country, that I call on my House colleagues to support my resolution to immediately remove Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene from this legislative body.”

 

On January 26, 2021, a CNN KFile review by Em Steck and Andrew Kaczynski uncovered social media activity and posts by Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene calling for violence against Democrats in elected office.

 

In one Facebook post from 2018, Congresswoman Greene replied to a supporter who asked how they can “hang” former President Barack Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, saying the “stage” was being “set” and that it would need to be done “perfectly.”

 

Congresswoman Greene also liked a comment from 2019 that a “bullet to the head would be quicker” than an election for removing Speaker Pelosi from office, and messages about executing FBI agents working for the “deep state.”

 

In September of 2020, Congresswoman Greene posted a meme of her with a gun pointed towards progressive members of Congress. And in June of 2020, Politico unearthed past clips of Congresswoman Greene espousing racist, Islamophobic and anti-Semitic attitudes, saying in one video that Muslims should be barred from serving in government.
