The Morning report
Good morning, kids. So, now even more charges are being dumped on Donald Trump, this time involving his alleged mishandling of documents. Or is it related to the supposed “insurrection” of January 6th in which the only violence that was perpetrated was by cops and “glowie” goons against innocent civilians? Or is it both? Not that it matters. They want Trump behind bars forever, regardless of if there will be any kind of reaction from the citizenry. Revolutions were touched off for far less than this, and they were “mostly peaceful.”
I think it’s fair to say that when things don’t go our way, from a political standpoint, we don’t figure out ways to violate the spirit of the law or of the courts to circumvent due process. From the broader public standpoint, nor do we burn down cities, loot stores or gun down and firebomb our political and cultural enemies. The Left? We’re fair game. And they are perpetually itching to do us in, because they’ve got True Believer Fever and the only cure is blood. Ours.
When a white person guns down a black person, in any circumstance, the default explanation is racism, hate crime and so forth. None of that with Audrey Hale, who pretty much got a pass from the media and the White House.
Joe Biden failed to identify or condemn the shooter, failed to name a single murder victim, and did not attend any of the funerals. Biden’s press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said, “Our hearts go out to the trans community as they are under attack right now.” In reality, the trans forces are on the attack, becoming more hostile.
“Trantifa,” a combination of transgender and Antifa, denotes a “far-left trans movement spreading across [the] U.S” and “intimidating and physically assaulting those who disagree with them. Trans swimmer Lia Thomas was recently photographed wearing a black T-shirt reading “Antifa Super Soldier.” Call it violence signaling.
“Trans violent militancy is the current focus of #Antifa,” contends journalist Andy Ngo. “They believe that critics of trans ideology should be silenced, maimed or murdered. Some call for sexual violence against females in particular, as revenge.”
In the run-up to the April 1 “Trans Day of Vengeance,” Audrey Hale murdered Evelyn Dieckhaus, William Kinney, Hallie Scruggs, Katherine Koonce, Cynthia Peak and Mike Hill. Hale’s manifesto remains under wraps, but her slaughter of six in Nashville could be a sign of “trantifa” violence to come.

Mystery Company Makes $800M Purchase of California Farmland Near Air Base
After a mysterious company suddenly made a nearly billion-dollar purchase of farmland surrounding an air base in California, some in Congress are sounding the alarm over national security concerns.
According to the Washington Free Beacon, over 52,000 acres worth of land in Solano County was purchased for $800 million; the land surrounds Travis Air Force Base. The purchase was made by a company called Flannery Associates, with a company attorney claiming that it is registered in Delaware and controlled by U.S. citizens, receiving at least 97 percent of its capital from American investors, with the remaining 3 percent from Irish and British investors. Nevertheless, the company’s low profile and sudden mass purchase of such strategically significant land has raised alarms in Congress.

California’s new Marxist math
Academic courses have become a vehicle for Marxist ideology, using “culturally relevant teaching” demands.
California has approved new radical K-12 math standards that are openly a vehicle for Marxist ideology. The stated goal is equity in math learning for non-whites and those from low-income families. The framework notes that “black, latinx, indigenous, women and poor students” have been underrepresented in the curriculum throughout history.” Equity will be implemented in the curriculum by dumbing down and sugar-coating the lessons and infusing them with political issues and student organizing.
Tom Loveless, education researcher and former Brookings Institute fellow, predicted that the new framework “would place Golden State 6th graders years behind the rest of the world—and could eventually skew education in the rest of the U.S., too.”
The framework boldly states that “teaching toward social justice can play an important role in shifting students’ perspectives,” with reference to Constantinos Xenofontos’ 2019 book, Equity in Mathematics Education: Addressing a Changing World. The author notes that education for social justice has its roots in Brazilian Marxist education theorist, Paulo Freire. Xenofontos contends that teachers should “discuss controversial topics,” and “allow social issues to drive instruction.” To teach social justice and equity successfully, teachers must be activists themselves.

Eric Holder’s Diversity Scam
Just when you feel comfortable that we no longer have to hear about the long-gone reprobates of the Obama era, former AG and bad penny Eric Holder shows up.
Starbucks Hired Eric Holder To Conduct a ‘Civil Rights Audit.’ The Policies He Blessed Got the Coffee Maker Sued.
Now you might be thinking “Starbucks? That leftwing, preachy, style-over-bad-coffee corporation? Why should I care?” If nothing more than the entertainment value of “live by the virtue signal, die by the virtue signal” that allowed smarmy grifter like Eric Holder to fleeced ’em, it is also a window into how everyone of the chest-beating demands for diversity are nothing but industrial-sized rent-seeking.
All.Of.Them.
Holder—who has charged as much as $2,295 an hour for such work—issued a final report in 2021 that outlined the steps Starbucks had taken to promote “equity.” They included tying executive pay to diversity targets, setting spending goals for “diverse suppliers,” and launching a mentorship program for “BIPOC” employees, which Holder pressed the company to expand. Each initiative, he wrote, demonstrated the coffee maker’s “commitment to civil rights and equal treatment.”

Historian: Anti-riot country song promotes ‘white supremacy’
ANALYSIS: Professor notes ‘small towns have also been home to violence and oppression’
A pro-police, anti-riot country song promotes “white supremacy” and creates “fear and division” according to an Austin Peay State University historian.
Professor Minoa Uffelman wrote in an opinion piece at ClarksvilleNow.com that Jason Aldean’s song and music video, “Try That in a Small Town,” is a “white nationalist call for vigilante violence presented as benevolent a small-town community protecting its values.”
