National Public-School Boards Fighting for Marxism.

The overseers of public education in the United States are seeking the repression of parents who are challenging a socialist onslaught in the curriculum.

One could say the “socialists are coming”, but that would be inaccurate. They are here and in positions of high power, controlling institutions of enormous ascendency over American society. It is not just the Biden-Harris team, Congress, Obama’s Democratic Party, Big Tech, Mainstream Media, and submissive woke capitalists. The overseers of public education in the United States are seeking the repression of parents who are challenging a socialist onslaught in the curriculum. The most important national public-school board advocate is fighting for Marxism.

The Cuban Military Pandemic Continues.

The timing of military deaths who have loyally served communist despotism deepens the belief that the Castro regime’s counterintelligence apparatus may have seen ghosts of a palace revolution, real or imagined. 

Another One Bites the Dust” is a 1980 musical hit that was popularized by the legendary British rock band Queen. By “biting the dust”, one could guess what was meant.

Segregation, Inequality, and Racism is Back in America.

Most blacks in the U.S. consider the Star-Spangled Banner their national anthem.

The United States fought a civil war to amend the wrong of what civil rights leader Robert Woodson called, America’s “birth defect”. Over 650,000 American deaths in that armed conflict, including the assassination of a paradigmatic president (Abraham Lincoln), was the life cost to abolish slavery and save the Republic

The Reconstruction Amendments following this seminal national conflict (13^th, 14^th, and 15^th) were adopted to establish the safeguards to assure that equality, a natural right structurally incrusted in America’s founding values, would be institutionalized for all. An ensuing “separate but equal” legal doctrine, however, permitted and enforced racial segregation, thereby debilitating the notion of equality. One hundred years later, comprehensive civil rights legislation, ended this unfortunate practice. Now Marxist elites, woke businesses, with the acquiescence of the Biden-Harris administration and the Democratic Party are bringing segregation, inequality, and racism back.
