Yay the Bolivarian Revolution!

Chicken meat is cheap because it is easy to raise chickens, specially if you do it on an industrial basis. On the East side of Caracas (back in my not so younger years), there was a chicken processing plant and they had a retail section open 2 or 3 times a week where you could go get freshly processed chicken if you were not fussy about not being packaged.  The chicken was put up for sale (plucked, gutted and cut) in big plastic boxes with rolls of plastic bags next to them. You picked what you wanted, bagged it and went to the register where it was weighed and ringed. I forget exactly the prices, but I remember mom commenting it was less than half you could get at your regular supermarkets.  The company was processing so much chicken that rather than wasting it or freezing it, they would sell it at a heavy discount.

Now they have to ask kids to grow chickens in the classrooms so they can eat, maybe.

Because Socialism works.

Late last year, Ventura County Sheriff’s Deputy Sgt. Ron Helus was killed in the line of duty.

This Sunday, there was supposed to be a charity flag football game put on by a group called Fallen Officers, to raise money for Sgt. Helus’ widow.

The 1st Annual Sgt. Ron Helus Blue Bowl Co-Ed Flag Football Tournament is to benefit the families of the Fallen Officers. This is a flag football tournament made up of men, woman and kids. The Blue Bowl teams are made up local businesses, police officers and residents of the area to come together and unite to show support for Law Enforcement and help the families of our Fallen Officers.

October 6, 2019 will be the 1st Annual A Sgt. Ron Helus Blue Bowl Co-Ed Flag Football Tournament. The money raised by sponsors, team registrations and donations will go to helping the family of Ron Helus and The Fallen Officers which supports The Robert L. Zore Foundation. We will have a great pre-memorial service which includes bag pipes, presenting of the colors, moment of silence and a few words from our Presenting Sponsor, Governor, Congressional, Senate leaders as well as local leaders and law enforcement. We will present the family with a check during this memorial and followed by the National Anthem and a fly over by the Ventura Sheriff Dept.

This event has been cancled.

Take a guess why?

Trump, that’s why.

Borderline mass shooting charity event canceled due to Trump supporter controversy

A charity flag football event in honor of fallen Ventura County Sgt. Ron Helus, the deputy killed in the Borderline mass shooting in 2018, has been put on hold after organizers say a local police chief and a Democratic politician derailed it because they didn’t want Republicans at the event.

Jerseys with Sgt. Helus’ name were donated by the L.A. Rams and footballs with his image were ready to be signed by Rams players. Sgt. Helus’ wife had already met with organizers and supported the event.

The Blue Bowl was supposed to happen at Newbury Park High School on Sunday. Thousands of dollars had already been raised for Sgt. Helus’ family, but now all that money is being returned to donors after organizers say Thousand Oaks Police Chief Tim Hagel convinced organizations to pull out of the event.

Mike Randall, Vice President of the Fallen Officers Foundation, which organizes the Blue Bowl, says things started going south when he allegedly got a text from Hagel saying there were serious issues with the event, specifically that the speakers would cause local political issues.

The Blue Bowl speaker list was bipartisan. It included Gov. Gavin Newsom’s public safety liason, Trump supporter Scott Baio, who went to the same church as Sgt. Helus, as well as Trump-supporting singer Joy Villa, who was to sing the national anthem.

Randall says in a phone call, Hagel questioned why the Trump supporters were invited.

“He basically said over and over in the conversation this is not Trump country, that slogan ‘Make America Great’ is not favorable, popular, within 1,200 square miles, that we don’t want Republicans here, I could not believe it… We were totally floored by this comment, ‘the only thing,’ and I quote, ‘the only thing you coulda made this worse, Mike, was to invite dick Cheney and Sarah Huckabee Sanders,’ and I went…wow are you kidding me?” Randall said.

This is egregious.  The event was canceled, the Helus family had to return the money, and it was made clear that the Thousand Oaks law enforcement community would not support the widow of a fallen officer if two Republican minor celebrities showed up to help raise funds for her.

Again, this needs to be made crystal clear.  The person who spearheaded the canceling of a fundraiser for a Sheriff’s Deputy killed in the line of duty was the Chief of Police for the city of Thousand Oaks, Tim Hagel.

Sheriff Scott Israel is still the worst law enforcement chief in the country, but Tim Hagel is now a close second.

I thought the Blue Wall was impenetrable.  It isn’t.  The one thing capable of breaking through the Blue Wall is TDS.

Here is what really shocks me.  Thousand Oaks is the second-largest and the wealthiest city in Ventura County.  Now that the Chief of Police for Thousand Oaks has gone out of his way to hurt the widow of a fallen Ventura County sheriff’s deputy, what will the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office do for the City of Thousand Oaks.

I’m sure that if a Thousand Oaks police officer comes under fire and calls for backup, the other Ventura County deputies might be very slow to respond, or worse.

Given how Blue Ventura County and Thousand Oaks are, I doubt there will be much blow back for Chief Hagel.

I’m not sure if this kind of partisan action by the Chief of Police constitutes a violation of his office or not, but given that he’s a Democrat in California, even if he broke the law doing this, nothing will happen to him.

Still, this is despicable.

The move by Police Chief Nicholas Caristo and Mayor Gail Coniglio comes in the wake of a March incident when members of the gun-rights group Florida Carry displayed firearms at the Royal Park Bridge.
Palm Beach Police Chief Nicholas Caristo and Mayor Gail Coniglio are urging the state senate to change the wording of the Florida Weapons and Firearms statute.
They have written a letter to State Sen. Bobby Powell prompted by the Town Council at its April 23 meeting after the gun group Florida Carry, which supports President Donald Trump, stopped at a bridge within the Town of Palm Beach openly displaying firearms.

Palm Beach police chief, mayor want to amend wording of Fla. gun statute

And what is it they want? The modification of Florida Statute 790.25 (3) (h) that allows “A person engaged in fishing, camping, or lawful hunting or going to or returning from a fishing, camping, or lawful hunting expedition;” to Open Carry. They want the statute modified to expand Open Carry Free Zones:

They are requesting that the language in the statute be expanded to say a lawful activity “may not be conducted within 1,500 feet of the real property comprising any school, house of worship, government building, or guarded beach.”

This not unexpected. We are just simply seeing the fruits of the Tree of Dumb growing and I am keeping my eye on the Florida Legislature website for when the bill is up for consideration. A bill that probably will be discussed in at least one sub committee and I am willing to bet NOT ONE of the Chest Thumpers® will show up to the hearing to fight against something that should have not been brought up in the first place, but was because you needed to play dumb games.

But that is not as bad as the next item. This is something that slides right into the domain of stupid.

In its website, Florida carry identifies itself as a non-profit, non-partisan, grassroots organization who has applied for 501(c)(4) status. Lord knows the last time the website was updated, so I don’t know if the 501(c)(4) status is active or still pending. If I am not mistaken, a 501(c)(4) organization is federally Tax Exempt as long as it does not engage directly in politics as in supporting a party or a candidate or they risk losing the Tax Exempt status and getting audited.  If you notice in the article, the paper had no problems sticking Florida Carry as direct supporters of President Trump  from the get go. 

From what little I have been able to gather, Florida Carry and many of its members was not aware that the Trump flag was going to be used. Also, members have commented about the non-partisan nature of the organization, perhaps worrying about the tax exemption or maybe because there has been a change on the group they were not informed about which is natural.

And no, the OCI clan did not apologize nor it seems they understand the consequences of their actions which can go as far bad as Florida Carry being shut own and its leadership ending up in Federal trouble for violations of the Tax Law.  And it probably has not crossed their minds that helping the Opposition with ideas on adding Gun Control bills to the legislative session is something we should avoid entirely.

I caught this going around the internet.  It is the K-12 Math Ethnic Studies Framework for the Seattle Public School System.

This is the most egregious assault on mathematics I have ever seen.

Seattle Public Schools have no interest in teaching kids how to do math.  They want the kids to understand how math is an oppressive system of power.

So does this mean that Euclidean geometry is in or out?

Euclidean geometry is out, so is calculus and statistics.

The entire world uses “Western” mathematics.  Math, as we know it today, came out of Europe during the Renaissance.  It is true that many ancient civilizations developed complex math.  However, it was the development of the scientific method through the Renaissance and Age of Enlightenment that formalized math.

Math was a tool used to explain what was being observed by the natural sciences.  Isaac Newton had to develop calculus to explain the physics he was studying.

The Chinese and ancient Mesoamerican cultures created complex math, but it was often used for things such as astrology and predicting the zodiac.

Since the scientific revolution occurred in Europe, it was Europe that formalized mathematics in the scientific process we use today.

Creating a prejudice against Western mathematics and delegitimizing it because of its origins doesn’t make students competent in math.  It gives them a built-in excuse to hate it and do poorly in it, hindering them for life.

These are some of the “learning targets” of the program:

Sure, all these kids will know just how math is racist and oppressive and used to “disenfranchize people of color,” but not one of them will know how to do any actual math.

The politics of self-identification play a role in this too.

I thought a mathematician was someone who could do math and actually solve math problems.  Under this system, you just have to identify as a mathematician.  Being unable to do math notwithstanding.

Being right means getting the mathematically correct answer.  Being wrong means a bridge collapses, a plane falls out of the sky, a dosage is off and people die.

This is evil.  This teaches kids to fear and hate math.  This makes math the enemy and people who are skilled in math oppressors.

Nowhere in any of the skills this framework puts forward is math actually taught.  This isn’t about increasing math proficiency, this is about destroying math and making it a hated subject.  This framework increases mathematic ignorance.

And it has to.

Math explains why spending $200 Million in taxpayer dollars to remove urinals from municipal bathrooms to virtue signals to the trans and gender-neutral community, which makes up about 0.4% of the population is a stupid idea.

But if you learned Seattle’s ethnic math than you would know how making such a claim is bigoted systematic oppression.

This is the targeted destruction of math and the minds of children so that they are unable to question or challenge the most ridiculous machinations of the radical Left.

This needs to be destroyed with fire.  Both the program itself and the bureaucrats and educators who came up with it.

This is a crime against humanity and God willing, one day, we will deal with the people who have done this to America’s educational system the way we dealt with the Nazis at Nuremberg.

Yes, if you teach my son that math is racial oppression instead of teaching him how to do math, you should swing by the neck until dead and be buried in shame in an unmarked grave.

Thinking about this for the last hour, I truly believe that every engineer with Boeing in Seattle should go to the school board with torches, pitchforks, and rifles and deal with.
