Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) demanded on Thursday that the Department of Justice be defunded, which would spell the end of several major federal law enforcement organizations.
Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, the only two Republicans on the special House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riots, indicated on separate Sunday morning news shows that Secret Service agents have been relatively uncooperative. read more
It was fair for skeptics to point out Bernard was the Star's sole on-the-record source, but there was no proof that Bernard was lying. Instead, they promoted their doubts about the story to insinuate this 10-year-old pregnant rape victim did not exist, because she represented a weakness in their efforts to pass increasingly restrictive and punitive abortion laws. The pivot to target Bernard was an effort to intimidate political opponents and distract from the painful-but-necessary debate America must have in the wake of Roe's downfall.
The amendment still passed, but the vote shows how a genuine national security threat has been turned into partisan football.

When he asked what she was doing, "She said something along the lines of it wasn't age-appropriate," James told the publication. She also picked up the portrait he had of Barack Obama, the nation's first Black president, on his desk and allegedly said, "You don't need to put this up either. The kids are too young."
He teaches kids in kindergarten through fifth grade.
"I don't know who guided her or why she took that on her own. I've never seen that in 15 years " just completely take down my board " without asking or anything," he said.
James worried that if he reported what had happened to his school's principal, the administrator would simply "sweep things under the rug." So instead, he wrote a letter describing the incident to DeSantis and Escambia County Superintendent Tim Smith.
"Am I to believe Escambia County Schools employs those that dislike African Americans?" James wrote in his letter, adding that he couldn't "work for a school, or under the umbrella of a school district, that would hire people who would condone such behavior."
In a statement issued Tuesday, Escambia County Public Schools spokesperson Cody Strother wrote that the district is conducting a full investigation. "If these allegations are deemed factual, we will certainly take corrective action, as it is our aim that all of our teachers feel valued and supported," Strother wrote.

Yup. Total inappropriate and over reaction on the teacher's part. /s
Louisiana child kicked out of class because parents are same-sex couple

The girl lost her birth mother a while back and more recently lost her birth father to an accident at work. She was then adopted by a gay couple, one of whom she is a niece, but the religious-based school decided her continued presence at the school would not be appropriate because of circumstances God bestowed upon her. She had been enrolled at the school while her birth parents were alive (you know, thousands of dollars in tuition) only to be abandoned by the most significant community she was apart of.
Republican led education is going off the deep end.

I know it's common for the resident to receive a copy of the warrant, but I read that in this instance, that was not the case.
Edit: Nope, never mind:
With very few exceptions, the Republican Party has coalesced around Donald Trump and expressed the fierce conviction that the Department of Justice's decision to serve a search warrant on Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence was a grotesque abuse of power.
There's a notable problem with this conclusion: The American public still hasn't seen the search warrant. Trump's lawyers have it, and they've described it in vague terms, but they have not released it. One of his attorneys, Christina Bobb, appeared on Real America's Voice (an obscure far-right media network) and said that the warrant sought "classified documents, evidence of a crime as far as classified documents go," and "presidential records."

Trump Himself Signed a Law in 2018 Stiffening the Penalty For Mishandling Classified Info to FIVE YEARS Prison
www.mediaite.com
Donald Trump himself, as president, signed a law in 2018 stiffening the penalty for mishandling classified information.
Politico reported Wednesday on the law Trump signed " making mishandling a felony " in the wake of his 2016 campaign against Hillary Clinton:
Notably, Trump " after a fierce campaign against Clinton in which he called for her to be jailed for her handling of classified material " signed a law in 2018 that stiffened the penalty for the unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents from one year to five years, turning it into a felony offense.
The penalty for doing so under Section 1924(a) of title 18 of the United States Code, which deals with the unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents or material, was changed from one year to five years in prison.
Womp womp.
Had Trump simply conceded the election, just like every other losing POTUS candidate in history, and subsequently not stolen highly classified documents, two MAGAts would still be alive...probably.
