Dems are so ‘insane’ that Barack Obama has become the ‘voice of reason’ on immigration

It’s come to this: Dems are so “insane” on immigration that Barack Obama is now the “voice of reason.”





Check out this video where the former president, among other things, talks about how important it is for immigrants to learn English when they move to America:


“We can’t label everybody disturbed by immigration as racist”? That’s news to Dems:

3 Cheers for Betsy DeVos
Star Parker | April 10, 2019

Logging on to the website of the National Education Association, the nation's largest teachers union, the first flashing headline that meets the eye attacks Education Secretary Betsy DeVos: "Betsy DeVos and Her No Good, Very Bad Record on Public Education."


What perturbs the NEA is that DeVos sees her mission as education, which is not necessarily only "public education."

Surely, Secretary DeVos' new initiative, the Education Freedom Scholarships and Opportunity Act, which has been introduced in the Senate by Sen. Ted Cruz and in the House by Rep. Bradley Byrne, has the teachers unions on edge.

Education Freedom Scholarships provides dollar-for-dollar federal tax credits to those who voluntarily contribute to state-controlled and administered "Scholarship Granting Organizations" to whom parents can turn for funds to send their child to any school of their choice.

No, this does not expand federal control over education. It just provides a new source of federal funds to support state-administered programs that will help enable parental choice in education.

The proposed $5 billion in financing doesn't even amount to one percent of the $654 billion now being spent annually on K-12 education.

Education freedom is still a relatively new idea. Twenty years ago, platforms enabling parents to choose where to send their child to school were nonexistent.

Today, 482,000 children are participating in some kind of education choice program -- either through vouchers, tax credit scholarships or education savings accounts.

Which is still miniscule given that we have 56.6 million children attending K-12 schools and 50.7 million in public schools.


Why is parental choice so vitally important?

The education choice movement got started on the idea of competition. We know from our marketplace that nothing produces excellence like competition.

So why shouldn't we have it in something so vitally importance as education?

Arguably, it's even more important in education than in other areas. Why?

We know if we have competition in automobiles, we will get the best possible and most diverse production of automobiles for consumers. But nobody disagrees about what an automobile is.

But how about education? What is it? What does a child need to learn?

The Book of Proverbs teaches, "How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is preferable to silver!"

In our secular culture, many argue that wisdom cannot be transmitted in schools. Education should just be geared to acquiring career and professional skills -- getting gold and silver.

But can we have a nation without wisdom and understanding? And should we pretend children can be educated without these? Of course not.

But in our divided and confused country, there's no consensus about what wisdom and understanding are.

To get back to the teachers unions, look at their websites. They are shills for abortion, same-sex marriage and LGBTQ rights. They pretend this is wisdom. And this is what is passing for wisdom in the education monopoly called our public school systems.


Why, in our free country, should parents be forced to send their children to be indoctrinated in left-wing culture?

In 24 states plus Washington, D.C., public schools are required by law to provide sex education. What are the children being taught?

So freedom and competition in education is not just about a better product. It's about freedom to determine what the product is.

In a nation where the pillars of marriage and family have broken down, we must allow wisdom and understanding to be again taught. We must allow parents, particularly low-income parents, to send their children to Christian schools.

In a nation where the incidence of out-of-marriage births has quadrupled over the last half-century and the incidence of marriage has dropped 33 percent, we need education that conveys wisdom and understanding to our children.

In a free country, this can only done through education freedom and parental choice.

Three cheers to Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.

Barr: You bet I’ll be looking into how this Russia investigation started

JAZZ SHAW Posted at 9:21 am on April 10, 2019

Most of the Attorney General’s comments during congressional hearings this week were rather perfunctory from what I saw. Democrats were trying to score points with various declarations about how the entire Mueller report needed to be released, mixed with insinuations that the Justice Department must be up to no good somehow. Barr mostly stuck to the script and said he’d have the redacted report ready in the next week or so. But as John discussed last night, there was one moment where something unexpected happened. Following a question from Congressman Robert Aderholt (R-Alabama), Barr calmly announced that he would be looking into the origins of the Russia investigation and whether the entire premise of it was legitimate or not. This seems to go deeper than a simple clean-up operation following a long investigation and it’s taking the story in a direction the Democrats definitely don’t want to go. He plans on expanding upon the previous work done by IG Horowitz. (From John Solomon writing at The Hill)
