There should be even more than alarm bells. There should be flashing red lights all over.
This is not Karen Bass. This is not the guy in Chicago. You’re going to see a whole new group of Mamdanis in these major urban cities because they’re just flooded with immigrants, right? That’s where his vote came from, principally, and the progressive left, these kids have come up through the public school system. This is the flower of what the progressive left has delivered over the last 40 or 50 years. You saw it tonight and people, we’re going to have a fight on our hands. …
Look at these numbers tonight. [New Jersey Gov.-elect] Mikie Sherrill and [Virginia Gov.-elect Abigail] Spanberger are going to win by 15 points. At one time, [polls] had Mikie Sherrill winning by 1 or 2 points. Last I saw, she could win by 10, 12, 14, 15 points. These are blowouts.
Democrats had a theme tonight. The theme was stop Trump, anti-Trump. We’ve got to beat Trump. It was all Trump, Trump, Trump, and the Republicans in New Jersey, particularly New Jersey, and in Virginia had no theme whatsoever.
The official Republican Party just wants to tap Trump along and then be done with him, be done with MAGA, and get back to what they want to do — neocon, neoliberal.
If the GOP decides that the lesson this week’s election is that it needs to go back to being the party of Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, and George W. Bush — as the Tory party in Britain decided after the Brexit election — then the political spectrum in the U.S. will shift irrevocably to the Left, as migrants continue to flood our borders and render traditional conservative, Christian candidates permanently unelectable.
Democrat Michigan Wants to Teach 8-Year-Olds About “Healthy Sex”
Maybe we’re just alarmists. Maybe the Democrat party is the same as it was under Hubert Humphrey, and everyone who says different is just a doomsaying extremist. But then how do we explain the latest news from the heartland, from the Midwestern state of Michigan? The Midwesterner News, employing an impressive array of euphemisms, reports:
Michigan’s Department of Education has proposed major updates to the state’s health education standards, reshaping how schools teach about sex, relationships, and identity. The draft guidelines, still under review, emphasize inclusivity, consent, and respect, and have sparked debate among educators, parents, and lawmakers across the state.
The proposal moves away from the state’s longstanding abstinence-focused framework toward a more comprehensive model. It calls for lessons that explicitly address sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression, encouraging respect for all individuals regardless of their background.
What does that mean in plain English? You have to scroll down in the story to get to that:
Rep. Jamie Thompson, R-Brownstown, who has been a vocal critic of the new guidelines, told The Midwesterner that “it shifts essential aspects of child development from parents to schools without sufficient oversight. It uses a classroom to push radical and unproven ideologies and downplay the real consequences of adult decisions.” …
“Society for Health Education, or SIECUS. You can go to their website and you will see very clearly what they advocate for in curriculums,” Thompson told fellow legislators at a House Oversight Committee hearing this week.
“They believe that abstinence is failing our kids (and) teaching abstinence is ineffective. They believe that teaching abstinence to children threatens the fundamental human right of sex. They believe that we should be encouraging our children safe and healthy ways to engage in sex,” she said.
“And in Michigan we know that the age of consent is 16. So why would Society for Health Education be working with our Board of Education to teach this to 3rd graders, 8- and 9-year-olds?”
Michigan Board of Education is teaching 3rd graders that they must engage in sex
Again, they are teaching 8 and 9 year old 3rd graders abstinence is wrong and to engage in sex
I can’t believe this is real, but it is
