Wray is a liar who has now perjured himself numerous times. Time for the House to do their job and impeach this fraud.
The @FBI Director told @JudiciaryGOP that special agents did not conduct surveillance of school boards. He lied. The Joint Terrorism Task Force in my office did it. I testified about the details in May.
The @FBI Director told @RepTroyNehls that no agents were reassigned from child exploitation investigations to domestic terrorism. Another lie. I was reassigned from child pornography cases and told those cases were going to be considered a "local matter." https://t.co/0kgnEJLapC
The FBI director just revealed bank information is turned over to the Bureau "all of the time" without a warrant and won't say if the FBI is purchasing location data of Americans from commercial sources. Yikes.

37% of Americans have a favorable view of the FBI. That’s about where Joe Biden’s poll numbers are. Makes sense when you consider both Biden and Chris Wray are trying to put President Trump in prison before he gets back in the White House.
They quoted him to illustrate the words, actions and plans of an evil person, not to show support for them. Context matters and the intentional portrayal of this otherwise by a member of the NYT is really shitty.
The worst thing about French is he knows he’s lying. He knows he is defaming Americans. But he knows he will financially benefit from it, so he does it anyway all while wrapping himself with the Bible like a shield from his immortality.
It’s perfectly obvious that David French is a modern day Judas who is paid by the pagans and the groomers to attack Christians.

You are even more evil than I thought
Everyone knows this was one chapter's newsletter as a warning & then when it went viral to smear them, at this conference they were showing their support for that chapter
If I quote 1984 as a warning it doesn't mean I support big brother.
None of these moms are praising Hitler. That’s absurd.
The audience fully understands the intended context of the quote, which was to warn against government control of children. They cheered because they agreed with that *warning* – they weren’t cheering Hitler.
But French already knew all of this, and that’s why his work is trash.
So yes, he’s a liar.
David French tells lies to attack conservatives, episode #98765165. The reason why the "conservative movement" was impotent and useless for most of the last 3 decades is because it was chock-full of David Frenches.

Of course, many are an asset. Our small country church gained a sweet retired couple from California, and a very energetic, retired widow from Portland.
It’s problematic when people suddenly migrate en masse anywhere because there is usually rapid change. One small, independent, sleepy community in Chattanooga about 2 miles from my house is a case in point. Newcomers (with the help of property developers) were more politically active and had more money than many of the locals and managed to get elected to the local government. Once in, they changed the zoning laws, built a massive number of condos in a small area for more migrants, and just this year raised the property taxes 57%! And the bulk of this all happened very rapidly in just 3 years or so. Pretty much after the pandemic, although I think there were infrastructure changes already starting to happen for a couple of years before, perhaps in preparation. They didn’t care that the locals were distressed and being priced out of their own schools and neighborhoods. But I guess that’s what happens when you don’t pay attention locally until it’s too late. And it’s why people are often suspicious of newcomers in an area. Change is going to happen, but understandably, people don’t like the culture and affordability of their area to change too much or too rapidly.
When we moved down from CT in 2010, one local store owner looked at us in a considering manner and wryly said: “Ya’ know the difference between a Yankee and a damn Yankee? Yankees visit a while and go home again.” All 3 of my sons were born a few miles away from that store in the local hospital, but I’m still a “damn Yankee”! And it was the same in CT. I lived there over 20 years, but until the very end I would have people look at me with that same wry look I saw on that TN store owner’s face and say “You’re not from around here, are you?” :–D
Some of us need to stay here for the sake of the gospel and for those who cannot leave. I’d be happy to move, but the answer to us is stay–at least for now. Frankly, we could use some encouragement.
God puts His people where He wants them, when He wants them. Christians bringing Light in schools, health care, prisons, homeless camps, Hollywood, science, etc.
Those who are staying put to be salt and light are doing missionary work in a very spiritually dark atmosphere. Still, the Asusa St. revival movement came out of California.
In Iran many Christian converts face death if they don’t renounce their faith. Many choose to leave the country, but many choose to stay because that is where God wants them at this time.
You can’t beat the satisfaction that comes from knowing you are right where God wants you.
“As if the military recruiting disaster or the Biden Administration’s embrace of woke and transgender policies for the military wasn’t bad enough, now we find out that almost 40% of U.S. attack submarines, or SSNs, the kind that shoot Tomahawk missiles at land targets and torpedoes at all types of vessels at sea, and conduct intelligence collection missions, i.e. the kind critical for the defense of Taiwan, are out-of-commission and stuck in naval shipyards.
—
From Bloomberg:
Delays at naval shipyards mean that nearly 40% of US attack submarines are out of commission for repairs, about double the rate the Navy would like, according to new data released by the service.
As of this year, 18 of the US Navy’s 49 attack submarines — 37% — were out of commission, according to previously undisclosed Navy data published by the Congressional Research Service. That leaves the US at a critical disadvantage against China’s numerically superior fleet.
The maintenance backlog has “substantially reduced” the number of nuclear submarines operational at any given moment, cutting the “force’s capacity for meeting day-to-day mission demands and potentially putting increased operational pressure” on submarines that are in service, CRS naval analyst Ronald O’Rourke said in a July 6 report.
—
Worst of all, the trendline is bad and getting worse, as the 37% out-of-commission rate is “up from 28% overall in 2017 and 33% in 2022, and below the industry best practice of 20%.” “The best year for attack sub availability was fiscal 2015 when 19% — or 10 of the then 53 subs — were in overhaul, according to figures contained in a June 13 Navy information paper.”
Like I said, the trendline is bad and getting worse.”
First you handicap children in their ability to acquire basic skills
Then you reclassify the requirement that college or job applicants possess basic skills as form of inequity and replace that criterion with competence in repeating the DEI regime's mantras https://t.co/9zx63virHi

~ … Jesus tells his followers to take up their crosses, not their crowns (Matt. 16:24–26). Historically, the church has thrived during some of its bleakest winters of cultural power. We can see modern examples of this in Iran and China. Though our faith may be increasingly marginalized and devalued in the West, losing cultural battles with grace, dignity, and love can persuasively display Christ’s cruciform beauty. Conversely, there’s nothing persuasive about chasing the perks of power.
Peter wrote his first letter to Christians facing intense persecution. It’s a treatise on how to suffer faithfully, a lost art in a world taking its cue from social media influencers. Peter cautions the beleaguered believers that though it’s worthy and beautiful to suffer for faith, they should be careful never to suffer as criminals or meddlers (1 Pet. 4:15). Suffering because you’re harmful or obnoxious isn’t Christian faithfulness. Worse, desperately clutching for the instruments of power or elbowing to get a seat at the table sacrifices Christ’s cause to chaos.
Jesus tells his followers to take up their crosses, not their crowns.
This doesn’t mean Christian political savvy is thrown aside while we lie down and float away with the cultural tide. It does mean American evangelicals have a golden opportunity, even in years when it seems the sun is setting on our influence, to prove our hope is vested beyond the material and visible. We can chart for the next generation a trail of faithfulness that avoids bitter and reclusive cultural withdrawal on the one hand and vengeful scorched-earth behavior on the other.
Losing well has to do with attitude. We soften our tone but not our convictions. We pursue what is excellent and praiseworthy because we care about what is good, not because we’re always right and have to win. We find ways, like Daniel, to bless people and institutions that are riddled with problems. As faithful evangelicals, we advocate for God’s ways and encourage our neighbors to follow them while leaving the results to God.
We may not ascend the seven mountains of cultural influence, but as we continue to promote our values, we can remember that one of our cardinal virtues is love. Jesus suffered for us when we were still his enemies (Rom. 5:8). For his sake, let’s love our enemies with grace even if we suffer because of them. ~

Curriculum changes are really not that important. By the time it filters down to the classroom its watered down and re-interpreted so many times that not much changes.
My conservative gov’t changed the math curriculum from problem solving based to a socio-emotional approach to a back to the basics all in the span of the 5 years. Principals no longer buy textbooks as they are out of date in a year or two. And so we are told just make up your own materials – so we cut and paste from old textbooks and try to cover it. Even though we have the longest school year in North America, time constraints mean we skip over socio-emotional learning, financial education, and other add-ons we don’t we don’t have materials for. In the end I’m teaching pretty much the same math as I did twenty years ago in relatively the same manner.
