About one in five mail-in ballots in the last election was fraudulent, handing Biden the presidency. We know this because the people who committed the fraud have admitted it in a new poll. pic.twitter.com/fxHL9hT4sw

The situation began on Jan. 16, when the recording that appeared to be a conversation between Eisworth and an assistant principal first circulated, according to the charging documents.
In the audio, Eisworth allegedly claimed Black students were unable to "test their way out of a paper bag" and made "disparaging comments" about Jewish individuals and two teachers, the charging document said.
Investigators said the audio had "profound repercussions" for Eisworth and the school community.
"It not only led to Eisworth's temporary removal but also triggered a wave of hate-filled messages on social media and numerous calls to the school," the charging document said.
As school officials began investigating the incident, Eisworth maintained that the conversation in the audio never happened and told investigators that Darien, 31, may have been involved because he was good with technology, according to the charging document.

So when I was in high school there was one girl 5'10 300lbs+ on last classes on Friday she would start playfully touching me, on one Friday teacher left the class and she decided to chase me and push me in the class and she basically pushed me into the wall (it was wooden) she basically broke that wall, using my body and I cut my arm with broken woods planks then she insisted to take me to subway after school I didn't went because my arm was burning it was also not the last time she cut me, another time she pushed me into hanger and again cut my arm with the hanger I bet if I stayed in that school she would had killed me (I was 160lbs back then)

Archaeopteryxes are about the size of a blackbird and are flying creatures that are considered the evolutionary ancestor of modern birds. They have two wide wings they use to fly and glide. However, unlike modern birds, archaeopteryxes have bony tails. They have beaks with sharp teeth which they use to tear flesh, for they are carnivorous. Prey is killed using their hyperextended second toes that hold a large claw.
We're not going to be talking about this extinct species. Instead, I'll be talking about three public freakouts. Your job is to decide if it is justified or not.
Who will clean your pottys?
This is a favorite of mine. It takes place om The View during a fierce debate surrounding Trump's anti-immigrant stance. In a bid to prove Trump's racism, kelly osborne makes a racist statement herself. She asks "if you kick every latinx out of this country, then who will be cleaning your potty Donald Trump?!" Her comment immediately elicits gasps and the camera hilariously pans to one of the latinx hosts who admonishes her.
Do you think she was being racist, or was she making a good point?
father spanks children for stealing
In this video we see a father whip the shit out of his kids for stealing. This is an ineffective form of parenting. As wikipedia tells us:
It looks really sore and I'm sure those kids will never forget it. Imagine the damage that's been done between parent and child when violence is introduced.
Do you think the father did the right thing?
Look who's leaving
There's some sort of awards ceremony going on at a high school. It's clearly been going on for too long and some parents are leaving. The principle says "look who's leaving, all the black people!". This causes an uproar which then does cause all the black people to leave. In a subsequent interview, the principle blamed the ordeal on Satan.
Do you think she was making a fair observation, or was she being racist?
Conclusion
I think I got rejected by the same person twice. I'll write a long-winded post about it soon. Oh well, I think I need to learn to get over it. She doesn't have feelings for me, and that's the deal. Tune in next time when we discuss the DC Snipers.

Remember the expansion of warrantless spying that Biden rammed through Congress and signed into law a week ago despite public outcry? That the FBI had already used to spy on Americans more than 278,000 times? You'll never guess what he's using right now against student protests: https://t.co/0UMIC77S09

To fully grasp the current situation in San Francisco, where venture capitalists are trying to take control of City Hall, you must listen to Balaji Srinivasan. Before you do, steel yourself for what's to come: A normal person could easily mistake his rambling train wrecks of thought for a crackpot's ravings, but influential Silicon Valley billionaires regard him as a genius.
βBalaji has the highest rate of output per minute of good new ideas of anybody I've ever met,β wrote Marc Andreessen, co-founder of the V.C. firm Andreessen-Horowitz, in a blurb for Balaji's 2022 book, The Network State: How to Start a New Country. The book outlines a plan for tech plutocrats to exit democracy and establish new sovereign territories. I mentioned Balaji's ideas in two previous stories about Network Stateβrelated efforts in Californiaβa proposed tech colony called California Forever and the tech-funded campaign to capture San Francisco's government.
Balaji, a 43-year-old Long Island native who goes by his first name, has a solid Valley pedigree: He earned multiple degrees from Stanford University, founded multiple startups, became a partner at Andreessen-Horowitz and then served as chief technology officer at Coinbase. He is also the leader of a cultish and increasingly strident neo-reactionary tech political movement that sees American democracy as an enemy. In 2013, a New York Times story headlined βSilicon Valley Roused by Secession Callβ described a speech in which he βtold a group of young entrepreneurs that the United States had become βthe Microsoft of nations': outdated and obsolescent.β
βThe speech won roars from the audience at Y Combinator, a leading start-up incubator,β reported the Times. Balaji paints a bleak picture of a dystopian future in a U.S. in chaos and decline, but his prophecies sometimes fall short. Last year, he lost $1 million in a public bet after wrongly predicting a massive surge in the price of Bitcoin.
Still, his appetite for autocracy is bottomless. Last October, Balaji hosted the first-ever Network State Conference. Garry Tanβthe current Y Combinator CEO who's attempting to spearhead a political takeover of San Franciscoβparticipated in an interview with Balaji and cast the effort as part of the Network State movement. Tan, who made headlines in January after tweeting βdie slow motherloversβ at local progressive politicians, frames his campaign as an experiment in βmoderateβ politics. But in a podcast interview one month before the conference, Balaji laid out a more disturbing and extreme vision.
βWhat I'm really calling for is something like tech Zionism,β he said, after comparing his movement to those started by the biblical Abraham, Jesus Christ, Joseph Smith (founder of Mormonism), Theodor Herzl (βspiritual fatherβ of the state of Israel), and Lee Kuan Yew (former authoritarian ruler of Singapore). Balaji then revealed his shocking ideas for a tech-governed city where citizens loyal to tech companies would form a new political tribe clad in gray t-shirts. βAnd if you see another Gray on the street β¦ you do the nod,β he said, during a four-hour talk on the Moment of Zen podcast. βYou're a fellow Gray.β
The Grays' shirts would feature βBitcoin or Elon or other kinds of logos β¦ Y Combinator is a good one for the city of San Francisco in particular.β Grays would also receive special ID cards providing access to exclusive, Gray-controlled sectors of the city. In addition, the Grays would make an alliance with the police department, funding weekly βpoliceman's banquetsβ to win them over.
βGrays should embrace the police, okay? All-in on the police,β said Srinivasan. βWhat does that mean? That's, as I said, banquets. That means every policeman's son, daughter, wife, cousin, you know, sibling, whatever, should get a job at a tech company in security.β
In exchange for extra food and jobs, cops would pledge loyalty to the Grays. Srinivasan recommends asking officers a series of questions to ascertain their political leanings. For example: βDid you want to take the sign off of Elon's building?β
This refers to the August 2023 incident in which Elon Musk illegally installed a large flashing X logo atop Twitter headquarters, in violation of building safety codes. City inspectors forced him to remove it. This was the second time Musk had run afoul of the city in his desire to refurbish his headquarters: In July, police briefly halted his attempt to pry the βTwitterβ signage from the building's exterior. But in Balaji's dystopia, he implies that officers loyal to the Grays would let Musk do as he pleases (democratically inclined officers, he suggests, can be paid to retire).
Simply put, there is a ton of fascist-chic cosplay involved. Once an officer joins the Grays, they get a special uniform designed by their tech overlords. The Grays will also donate heavily to police charities and βmerge the Gray and police social networks.β Then, in a show of force, they'll march through the city together.
