A loss of confidence in FBI and DOJFox News: *House Republicans release 1,000-page report alleging politicization in the FBI, DOJ* Whistleblowers say FBI is 'rotted at its core' in Republican report on alleged misconduct ... "The Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the stewardship of Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland, is broken," the GOP report states. "The problem lies not with the majority of front-line agents who serve our country, but with the FBI's politicized bureaucracy." Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee say this report is "the first comprehensive accounting of... read more

Biden want to destroy the Gig economyRick Moran: The Biden administration wants to destroy the idea of “independent contractors” in most industries by approving a rule that would severely restrict “freelance” classifications, thus forcing previously independent workers to reclassify as “employees” and be subject to withholding, social security, workers’ compensation, and overtime restrictions. A law with many of the same restrictions was passed in California in 2020. AB 5 was met with fierce resistance from independent truckers, ride-sharing companies like Uber and Lyft, and other industries where independent contr... read more

Democrats in tough races know the border is a messWashington Examiner: When Vice President Kamala Harris assessed the U.S.-Mexico border as “secure” weeks ago, lawmakers across the political aisle balked. Tens of thousands of illegal immigrants are apprehended each month trying to reach the United States, coming in record numbers since President Joe Biden and Harris took office on Jan. 20, 2021. The surge comes despite Harris’s diplomatic entreaties to Mexican officials after Biden put her in charge of overseeing border security. While Harris's approach to border security has drawn criticism from congressional Republicans, some... read more

Social Learning and Back To Basics
I just came back from Muffins in the Morning, a special program in which parents are invited to come have some breakfast with their kids before the start of the school day. It's an evolved version of the old "Donuts with Dad" concept, in which schools assumed that fathers were less involved in their children's lives and would therefor benefit from being lured to school with pasties. It was a well-meant program larded with all sorts of assumptions about gender roles and sexual identities and would, of course, now be illegal in Florida and other similar states. But I digress.

The bullies are in the catbird seat. Marsha Lederman writes: We are living in what is increasingly a culture of meanness and bullying. And that bullying is infecting not just the public discourse, but the way government operates. Witness Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s Keeping Students in School Act, so named to earn sympathy from parents and the public. Using the Charter of Rights and Freedoms’ notwithstanding clause to suspend workers’ rights and impose a contract a union rejected – as the Ford government proposed – is a bully move, and it is being threatened against education suppo... read more
