A group of teachers and others in Loudoun County compiled a list of parents suspected of disagreeing with schools' actions — in part to “infiltrate,” to use “hackers” to silence parents’ communications, and to “expose these people publicly.”
Their opponents were those who objected to, sought to debate, or were even simply “neutral” about “critical race theory,” a radical philosophy opposed by many liberals and conservatives but increasingly embraced by governments.
A onetime high school Latin teacher put one man on the list for asking how Dr. Seuss was racist. The group erred on the side of convicting the innocent rather than letting a guilty party go free.
The group of radicalized suburban white women in wealthy Loudoun -- whose schools subject all staff to "equity" training and speak of racism as a dire and pervasive threat -- at times used violent language while doing battle with what they imagined to be "evil."
One listed those who had questioned government officials. “Ian Prior spoke about First Amendment concerns… Austin Levine criticized the School Board."
She then changed her Facebook profile picture to say “I don’t argue with people who Harriet Tubman would have shot.”
FOLLOWUP: Loudoun says teachers attacking parents protected by the First Amendment, on the same month an Equity Committee member seeks to ban Trump clothes as standing for "hate." Denies using Critical Race Theory, attaches "resources" drawing from CRT.
The National Diversity Council filed for bankruptcy this month after its board said its top execs stole millions of dollars, @realdailywire has learned.
Dennis Kennedy, who the board accused of felony theft, is hosting Bill Clinton & Oprah next month at a for-profit conference.
As the corporate DEI craze peaked, founder Kennedy, the CEO, and the CFO decided to pay themselves $3M in undocumented "back pay."
When the board tried to stop it, Kennedy quit, took its domain names & created a fake group w/ the same name (in pic) to siphon money, it said.
The crew was also double-dipping using a second nonprofit and a for-profit. NDC footed the bills while the for-profit reaped the rewards, a lawsuit said.
On tax disclosures, Kennedy said he was paid $450,000 for 10 hours/week by NDC in 2020, and $1.1 million in 2021.
If major soda corporations, with reams of lawyers, were willing to deceive to keep their SNAP profits going, what if I told you the entire integrity of the program rests on the honesty of inner-city bodega clerks telling the government people bought X, and claiming reimbursement?
USDA doesn't track what bar codes are actually scanned; it just takes stores' word for it. (It liked this arrangement because it prevented there from being data showing how much went to candy & soda.) Even if they did track bar codes, cashiers could just scan fake purchases.
Many inner-city bodegas (& weed shops!) launder food stamps by charging SNAP cards for some amount, and giving half the amount to the "customer" in cash.
On top of that, they're selling snack-sized food at massive markups, so it's the least efficient way to spent $100 billion.
One of the 7 federal agencies shuttered by DOGE on Friday is the most DOGE-able agency of all time. FMCS (before the pandemic!) had a 9-story K Street tower for 60 employees. Its halls were lined with oil paintings of those employees, and other art purchased from the boss's wife
It used its office tower as a luxury lounge for employees, with an in-house gym, smoking lounge, and in-office showers. It listed its top employee as being on a six-year-long business trip to DC, so he'd have his rent & all meals paid for, just for showing up to work.
It steered $1,500-a-day contracts to friends, and jobs to relatives. Its employees "unblocked" abuse protections on their purchase cards, and used them to spend $18,000 at a jewelry store, their wife's cell phone, and cable at their vacation home.
Sen @ChuckGrassley is going after the federal contractors who took $9 billion from taxpayers as part of the disastrous "unaccompanied alien children" program in which some 300,000 are missing. Contractors refused congressional oversight under Biden, despite some staff raping kids
@ChuckGrassley Southwest Key Partners is being sued after children were subject to “pervasive” sexual abuse at the hands of employees. An 8yo said one “repeatedly entered their bedrooms in the middle of the night to touch their ‘private area,’ and he threatened to kill their families.”
The unaccompanied minor scandal could be the worst in U.S. history. Workers described how it "induced family separation" with parents giving their kids to traffickers who made them work in the U.S. after the Biden admin transported them to live with unvetted strangers.
Joe Sanberg, the California Dem behind the state's expansion of welfare to illegal immigrants & ballot initiative to raise the minimum wage to $18, was arrested today on suspicion of fraud related to his "green" finance company, marketed as a more moral alternative to Wall Street
Aspiration said it let you "do well" while "doing good" because "clean rich is the new filthy rich."
Backed by Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro.
A fellow board member (& Dem megadonor) pleaded guilty to fabricating finances, said he did it "at Sanberg's direction."
Aspiration dealt with carbon credits, and in some ways may parallel Sam Bankman-Fried's FTX
Both were dealing with large amounts of money, arguably untethered to real value except through ideology and hype. Aspiration spent heavily on marketing, but may have juiced its revenues
This man was paid by taxpayers for 34 years without ever working a single hour for his ostensible employer.
That's because he was a union president benefitting from a union giveaway called "official time." He used it to allegedly send a picture of his dick to an agency manager.
Witold Skwierczynski serves as president emeritus of AFGE's Social Security employees unit, which signed a 5-year contract in November trying to block Trump from making Social Security employees return to work.
He was banned from SSA buildings for being "a disgusting old man.”
"Official time" means taxpayers pay the salaries of full-time union reps who are working against the taxpayer-funded agencies. A big reason federal unions litigate every attempt to discipline an employee, however justified, is because they don't have to spend dues money on it.
