Kids need pencils. Randi Weingarten needs a Target boycott — because the store wouldn’t denounce ICE. Not because of prices. Not because of products. Because Target stayed out of her immigration fight. She’s running a teachers union like a political action committee and calling it “back to school.” This is not education. This is Randi going full unhinged. x.com/DeAngelisCorey/status/…

HILLARY CLINTON: MY STORY As some of you know, I was the Air Force Military Aide for Bill Clinton, lived in the White House, traveled everywhere they traveled, and carried the “nuclear football.” As such, I was always in close proximity to both Bill and Hill. Among the military who served in the White House and the professional White House staff, the Clinton administration was infamously known for its lack of professionalism and courtesy, though few ever spoke about it. But when it came to rudeness, it was Hillary Clinton who was the most feared person in the administration. She set the tone. From the very first day in my assignment. When I first arrived to work in the White House, my predecessor warned me. “You can get away with pissing off Bill but if you make her mad, she’ll rip your heart out.” I heeded those words. I did make him mad a few times, but I never really pissed her off. I knew the ramifications. I learned very quickly that the administration’s day-to-day character, whether inside or outside of DC, depended solely on the presence or absence of Hillary. Her reputation preceded her. We used to say that when Hillary was gone, it was a frat party. When she was home, it was “Schindler’s List.” In my first few days on the job, and remember I essentially lived there, I realized there were different rules for Hillary. She instructed the senior staff, including me, that she didn’t want to be forced to encounter us. We were instructed that “whenever Mrs. Clinton is moving through the halls, be as inconspicuous as possible.” She did not want to see “staff” and be forced to “interact” with anyone. No matter their position in the building. Many a time, I’d see mature, professional adults, working in the most important building in the world, scurrying into office doorways to escape Hillary’s line of sight. I’d hear whispering, “She’s coming, she’s coming!” I could be walking down a West Wing hallway, midday, busier than hell, people doing the administration’s work whether in the press office, medical unit, wherever. She’d walk in and they’d scatter. She was the Nazi schoolmarm and the rest of us were expected to hide as though we were kids in trouble. I wasn’t a kid, I was a professional officer and pilot. I said “I’m not doing that.” There was also a period of time when she attempted to ban military uniforms in the White House. It was the reelection year of 1996, and she was trying to craft the narrative that the military was not a priority in the Clinton administration. As a military aide, carrying the football, and working closely with the Secret Service, I objected to that. It simply wasn’t a matter of her political agenda; it was national security. If the balloon went up, the Secret Service would need to find me as quickly as possible. Seconds matter. Finding the aide in military uniform made complete sense. Besides, what commander in chief wouldn’t want to advertise his leadership and command? She finally relented because the Secret Service weighed in. The Clintons are corrupt beyond words. Hillary is evil, vindictive, and profane. Hillary is a bitch.

BILL CLINTON & THE AF-1 FLIGHT ATTENDANT This one truly IS “Dereliction of Duty.” We were returning late one night from a long trip to Europe on AF-1, landed at Andrews, and helicoptered on Marine One to the White House. We landed on the South Lawn at about midnight and, after ensuring the president was on his way to his residence upstairs, I headed to my bedroom in the East Wing. Shortly thereafter, my phone rang and it was the AF-1 presidential pilot. “Buzz, we have a problem,” he said. Oh shit,” I thought. Apparently, Clinton had cornered a female AF-1 steward in the galley and molested her. She was young, a staff sergeant, and married with children. I knew her, liked her, and she was super sweet. Now, she was in tears. I asked the pilot what she wanted. He told me that she didn’t want to be another “bimbo,” she wanted to remain in the Air Force and be promotable. All she wanted was an apology. In my new world of Monica Lewinsky, Paula Jones, and Kathleen Willey, this wasn’t surprising to me. It was, however terribly disappointing and sad. So, that morning, as a young major, I had to walk to the Oval Office and tell the commander-in-chief that he needed to apologize to the young lady. I’ve been shot at with hot metal but this was the toughest day in my professional life. I remember on my way to talk with him thinking “I didn’t sign up for this shit.” Two weeks later, we got the two together onboard AF-1 in the president’s office and he offered a very uncontrite “half apology.” He didn’t care. I was there. If anybody in the military had done that it would’ve been jail, expulsion, or both. It would’ve been Fort Leavenworth. But not for this president, not for this man. It was just another day. Yet another in my experiences working for a man with absolutely no integrity and no moral fiber.

Hey Hanky, give me a list of Colorado Republicans grifting off homelessness and drug addiction in Denver - or better yet, anywhere in Colorado. I’ll wait. Because the honest truth is the real grift machine has been run by Democrats for years: the endless parade of NGOs, consultants, “advocates,” and connected insiders who’ve turned human misery into a multi-hundred-million-dollar industry. Billions spent, tent cities bigger than ever, and the same players getting fat contracts while the problem worsens. Republicans aren’t the ones building this racket. The Democrat supermajority and their mayors have owned this failure for nearly two decades. They created the homeless-industrial complex, they fund it, they defend it, and they demand more money every year to “solve” the crisis they profit from. If you can name serious Republican grifters in this game, I’m all ears. Until then, stop deflecting. The people see who’s really cashing in on suffering.

Let's add the part you deliberately left out, Senator since math is not your strong suit. The cap is $184,500. Above it, the 12.4% stops, on both the worker and the employer. You want to "scrap" that and tax every dollar. So here's the math you skipped: A two-income household, say a veteran engineer married to a pharmacist, or two experienced electricians running a small contracting business, pulling in $300,000 between them would pay 12.4% on the extra ~$115,000. That's about $14,000 more per year, every year, for life. Half lands on the employer, raising the cost to employ people, which holds wages down for everyone below. Now the part that exposes the whole scam. Social Security has a benefit cap too. The most anyone collects retiring at full age in 2026 is $4,152/month, no matter how much they pay in. Earnings above the cap don't add a single dollar to your benefit. So you're not asking them to "invest" more. You're forcing them to pay in thousands more and get nothing back. Money confiscated, never returned. This was always a Ponzi scheme, not a retirement account. No invested savings, no return tied to what you paid. Just today's workers taxed to pay today's retirees, surviving only while each generation outnumbers the last. You don't fix that fraud by enlarging it. You stop forcing people into it.

Tout le monde pense que le monde libre a gagné en 1989, à la chute du mur de Berlin. C'est faux. Et c'est exactement pour ça que le monde est aujourd'hui en feu. Ce qui est tombé le 9 novembre 1989, c'est un appareil. Une économie planifiée, un empire militaire, un mur de béton. Ce qui n'est pas tombé, c'est l'idée. L'idée que le monde se divise en oppresseurs et en opprimés. L'idée qu'il existe une égalité finale à atteindre, par tous les moyens. L'idée que tout ce qui existe (la famille, la nation, le mérite, l'héritage) est une structure de domination à abattre. Cette idée-là n'était plus dans le bâtiment quand le bâtiment s'est effondré. Il faut reprendre la chronologie, parce que tout est dans la chronologie : Le communisme économique avait un défaut fatal : il était réfutable. Il promettait l'abondance, il produisait des famines. Il promettait l'émancipation, il produisait des barbelés. Budapest 1956, Prague 1968, L'Archipel du Goulag publié à Paris en 1973, les boat people de 1979 : à chaque décennie, le réel envoyait sa réfutation. Les boat people étaient une réfutation flottante, visible depuis les plages. Alors l'idéologie a fait ce que fait tout organisme menacé : elle a muté. La mutation a un nom, et j'en ai raconté la généalogie ici : la French Theory. Foucault a déplacé la guerre du terrain des faits, où le communisme perdait à chaque fois, vers le terrain du savoir lui-même. S'il n'y a pas de vérité, s'il n'y a que des rapports de pouvoir déguisés en savoir, alors plus aucune famine, plus aucun mur, plus aucun goulag ne peut réfuter quoi que ce soit. La French Theory n'a pas enterré le marxisme. Elle l'a rendu irréfutable. Et la mutation a des dates. Toutes antérieures à 1989. 1934 : l'École de Francfort, chassée d'Allemagne, s'installe à Columbia. La critique de l'économie devient critique de la culture. 1964-1965 : Marcuse, exilé allemand devenu professeur américain, remplace le prolétariat défaillant par un nouveau sujet révolutionnaire (les minorités, les étudiants, les marginaux) et écrit noir sur blanc que la tolérance doit être accordée aux mouvements de gauche et refusée à ceux de droite. Octobre 1966 : le débarquement a une date précise. Université Johns Hopkins, Baltimore. Derrida, Barthes, Lacan présentent la pensée française aux campus américains. 1967 : Rudi Dutschke lance le mot d'ordre, la longue marche à travers les institutions. 1968 : les révolutions de rue échouent partout. Qu'importe. La révolution ne passera plus par la rue, elle passera par la salle de classe. 1975-1985 : Yale, Berkeley, Columbia absorbent la théorie, qui devient le système d'exploitation des humanités. 1987 : Allan Bloom publie The Closing of the American Mind pour donner l'alerte. Un million d'exemplaires vendus. L'université le traite de réactionnaire et passe à autre chose. L'Amérique avait son Aron, elle en a fait la même chose que nous du nôtre. Puis arrive le 9 novembre 1989. Le Mur tombe. L'Occident célèbre. Fukuyama avait déclaré la fin de l'Histoire dès l'été, avant même la chute. On démantèle les missiles, on encaisse les dividendes de la paix, on déclare le match terminé. Nous avons célébré notre victoire sur une adresse vide. L'idéologie avait déménagé vingt ans plus tôt. Nous avons gagné contre les chars et perdu contre les chaires. Pendant ce temps, l'autre empire communiste faisait la lecture inverse. Pékin avait écrasé Tian'anmen dans le sang cinq mois avant Berlin. Sinistre, mais lucide sur un point : la Chine savait que la guerre était idéologique. Elle a choisi : abandonner l'économie marxiste, garder le contrôle du récit. L'Occident a fait l'exact opposé : il a gardé le marché et absorbé l'idéologie. Trente-cinq ans plus tard, regardez qui construit des centrales et qui déboulonne ses statues. Vous voulez la preuve que c'est le même logiciel ? Faites la table de correspondance. La lutte des classes est devenue la lutte des identités. Les koulaks sont devenus les privilégiés. L'autocritique maoïste est devenue le privilege checking. Les commissaires politiques sont devenus les DEI officers. Le samizdat est devenu le compte shadowbanné. La nomenklatura a quitté Moscou pour Davos et Bruxelles. Et le paradis ne s'appelle plus la société sans classes : il s'appelle l'équité, l'égalité des résultats. Exactement ce que je décrivais ici il y a quelques semaines. On me dira : il n'y a pas de Goulag. C'est vrai. C'est même tout le génie de la version 2.0. Le communisme dur devait briser les corps parce qu'il ne tenait pas les esprits. Le communisme mou tient les esprits : il lui suffit de briser les carrières. Pas de camps, des services RH. Pas de procès de Moscou, des excuses publiques. Pas de Sibérie, la mort sociale. Demandez aux émigrés du bloc de l'Est installés en Occident ce qu'ils ressentent en traversant une université américaine en 2026. Ils reconnaissent l'odeur. Et voilà pourquoi le monde est en feu. Une civilisation a passé trente-cinq ans à enseigner à ses propres enfants qu'elle était le problème. Résultat : elle ne sait plus défendre ses frontières, transmettre son héritage, ni même nommer ses ennemis. Quand la présidente de Harvard, devant le Congrès, répond que condamner un appel au génocide « dépend du contexte », vous voyez le logiciel tourner en production. Et les prédateurs du dehors lisent cette faiblesse comme un livre ouvert : Moscou teste, Pékin patiente, l'islamisme avance dans les rues de nos capitales. Le feu extérieur n'est que la conséquence du désarmement intérieur. On ne brûle bien que les maisons qui se sont vidées de leurs défenseurs. Le Mur n'est pas tombé. Il s'est déplacé. Il ne sépare plus l'Est de l'Ouest : il passe désormais à l'intérieur de chaque institution occidentale, entre ceux qui construisent et ceux qui déconstruisent. La première guerre froide s'est gagnée avec des missiles et du PIB. La seconde se gagnera avec des écoles, des médias libres et des modèles d'IA. Celui qui écrit les valeurs dans les machines écrira le prochain 1989. Cette fois, ne nous trompons pas de victoire. Au travail.

We the people of Colorado no longer control our own state constitution. I found this out the hard way. #copolitics #coleg #cogov In Colorado, a government for, by, and of the people is a fib. We lowly citizens no longer have much of a say in altering our own state constitution. Even though that seems to violate the whole meaning of our constitution in the first place. Like the US Constitution, Colorado’s constitution contains a Bill of Rights making clear we are the ones who empower the state government, not the other way around. Check out the first two of these rights: First — All political power is vested in and derived from the people; all government, of right, originates from the people… Second — The people of this state have the sole and exclusive right of governing themselves, as a free, sovereign and independent state; and to alter and abolish their constitution… Did you catch that? We the people have the sole and exclusive right to alter our constitution. It used to be true, too. We used to alter our constitution through the initiative and referendum process. Without that process, we would not have limits on governmental power. Laws reining in the legislature could never pass a vote by those same politicians. They’d never vote for open meetings laws, term limits, the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, ethics laws, and so much more. Recently, when the legislature arrogantly exempted themselves from open meetings laws, it started a chain reaction I’ve never witnessed in all my decades in politics. Independence Institute, which I run, helped bring together nearly 50 highly diverse organizations that are usually at each other’s throats. We all shared a common concern: government in Colorado is turning opaque. Open records are getting harder to access, open meetings are closing. The “people’s” work is being hidden from the people. And when I say organizations from all over the political spectrum worked together, I’m not exaggerating: Independence Institute, the ACLU, Heidi Ganahl’s conservative Rocky Mountain Voice, the progressive Colorado Times Recorder, Colorado Public Radio, League of Women Voters, Colorado Press Association, Colorado Broadcasters Association, Common Cause, Colorado Black Women for Action, and many, many more. ‘ Over a year-and-a-half of work we crafted a constitutional reform based on what many other states already have, called “Right to Know.” It’s simple: a fundamental right for the people to access public records and government deliberations, with reasonable exceptions. But you won’t see this proposed amendment on your fall ballot. The normally sober state Title Board voted 2–1 to block it. The appointees of Secretary of State Jena Griswold and Attorney General Phil Weiser voted against you being able to vote on governmental transparency. Were they ordered to do so? I’ll let others speculate. Their argument was that your “right to know” the affairs of government isn’t a single subject, and only “single subjects” may go to the ballot. Legislators’ bills must also have a single subject. The difference is they get to decide for themselves whether a bill qualifies. By contrast, we “the people” must get permission from an unelected board. A set of rules for them; a different set for us. The powerful Title Board said our amendment was too broad. I countered that the state constitution is supposed to contain broad amendments. That didn’t matter. Our team pointed to existing rights guaranteed by Colorado’s constitution, like freedom of speech, religion and the right to keep and bear arms. I asked if we were bringing one of those rights as a citizen initiative today, would it pass “single subject” muster as they now interpret it? They essentially said no. By their interpretation, such basic rights as freedom of speech or religion might be too broad and vague to be considered a single subject. We considered appealing the Title Board’s bizarre decision to the Colorado Supreme Court, but on the advice of lawyers from across the political spectrum, we decided not to. The high court has shown little interest in expanding the public’s right to know what’s going on in their judicial branch. So now, hiding behind the “single subject” rule, altering our constitution to include fundamental rights — like speech, religion, or even a right to know the affairs of government — can be denied to the very people who are supposed to be the government. Some things you can’t make up.

A political appointee who was born into a life of privilege in an East-Coast Democratic Establishment family... This guy is about as far removed from the average Coloradan as anyone can be... Some background on Bennet explains: -Born in India in 1964, while his father was working for ambassador Chester Bowles. -Bennet was raised in a family of Democratic Party insiders in Washington DC and Connecticut. -He attended St. Albans, a prestigious college-prep High School that has a long list of famous alumi -His father Douglas J. Bennet Jr., a long-time Democratic insider ran USAID in the Jimmy Carter administration, was an aide for Vice-President Hubert Humphrey, was the President of NPR for 10 years, worked in Bill Clinton‘s State Department in the mid-1990’s, and served as president of Wesleyan University for over 10 years. -His grandfather was an economic advisor to FDR. -His brother James Bennet was the editor for The Atlantic and ran the editorial page at the New York Times. Bennet is an intergenerational member of the DC Democratic Establishment. His adult-life and career has been almost entirely in service to the State: -1987, earns BA from Wesleyan University (where his father and grandfather attended) -1988 to 1990, served as personal assistant to Ohio Governor Richard Celeste -1993, graduates from Yale (a favored institution of the political establishment) -1995 to 1997, Counsel to US Deputy Attorney General and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney -1997, Marries Susan Daggett (an Environment Attorney for politically connected Sierra Club), and now a DU Law Professor. -1997, at age 34, moves to Colorado when wife Susan accepts a job at Earthjustice Legal Defense Fund. -1997 to 2003, Managing Director at Anschutz Investment Co, where he was involved in the merger creating Regal Entertainment Group, the largest movie theater chain in the world. -2003 to 2005 Chief of Staff to Mayor of Denver, John Hickenlooper -2005 to 2009, Superintendent for Denver Public Schools -2008, on President-elect Obama’s short list for Secretary of Education -2008, OpenSecrets.org shows Bennet’s net worth at $17 million. -2009, appointed by Governor Bill Ritter to US Senate following Ken Salazar’s appointment to Secretary of the Interior -2010, his campaign for re-election spent $13 million compared to Ken Buck’s $4.8 million. Bennet won by only 1.7% (less than 29,000 votes) -2020, ran for President, raising over $6.8 million for his campaign. -In 2022, his net worth is estimated at $15 million, ranking him 12th wealthiest member of the US Senate. Looking at his life, Bennet is NOT representative of the typical Coloradoan. He isn’t even representative of a typical US Senator when you consider his wealth! The average person works throughout their life to afford a quality existence for their family. Bennet is far-removed from the life of an average Coloradoan.
