• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

NBC saying the quiet part OUT LOUD about keeping parents OUT of school.

Christina Wyman: Parents think they have the right to control teaching and learning because their children are the ones educated. It’s sort of like entering a surgical unit thinking you can interfere with an operation because the patient is your child. https://t.co/XD38WODQus

But short of that, parents, community members, and politicians who aren’t qualified to teach should keep their noses out of school curricula. A teacher’s main goal should be to teach children to think for themselves, and parents’ dictating the curriculum interferes with the nurturing of that independence.

The future of our country and world are sitting in today’s K-12 classrooms, and those children will eventually become adults in a world requiring their empathy, passion, intelligence, and engagement. Parental interference in school curricula is poised to accomplish the exact opposite. Shielding students from real-world issues and diverse perspectives will create bubbles that will render their children ill-prepared to navigate society, particularly when they are called upon to contribute and think critically.

"Socialists regard your property as their property, but even more nefariously regard your children as their property."

This is total bullshit. Yes. Teachers should be the leaders on actual educational subjects. Subjects like math, grammar, history (actual history) are among those. However, teachers are not to be the authority on moral issues. So, those interfering asses can kiss mine.

Yeah this is the concept they don't get, parents aren't mad about teachers teaching. Their mad about them attempting to raise their children.
 
Coworker got the jab in January. Didn’t have any issues. Wednesday before last he figured since he hadn’t got the Covid it must work so he got the booster. By that Saturday the whole family was sick and all diagnosed with Covid on Sunday.

FIL got the booster last Tuesday. He’s now sick hacking up his lungs and feeling like shit which started Friday. He hasn’t tested but that shit right there is why I brought the Covid protocol with me for the holidays.

Here we are being exposed to the spike protein and having turkey day with my wife’s 82 year old grandmother who wisely said he’ll no to the vax. Wife told him to quit putting that fucking poison in his body. My parents aren’t listening worth a shit either.

Only 6% of Africa is vaccinated and “professionals” are “befuddled” by how they haven’t had the outbreaks the US and Europe are having.

I guess it takes a got damned rocket surgeon to figure out why the fuck this is happening.

FFS this shit pisses me off to no end.

Africa doesn’t have the media scaring everyone into taking fraudulent PCR tests every week. They use HCQ and Ivermectin readily for other ailments. And they don’t vaccinate.
 
DeSantis letter re Rittenhouse Verdict.

The acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse should not have come as a surprise to anyone following the facts rather than corporate media narratives.

The verdict vindicates the right of self-defense and demonstrates that an American jury is capable of separating lies propagated by the media from the facts of the case and the applicable legal principles.

In this respect, the blizzard of lies propagated by corporate media outlets and Big Tech companies was no match for the American constitutional system.

Yet, the whole ordeal came at a great cost. The fact is that persistent, reckless corporate media lies — about Jacob Blake’s felonious conduct, about Blake being “unarmed,” and about the response of the police officer — fueled a dangerous mob that laid waste to Kenosha and landed Kyle Rittenhouse in the crosshairs of that mob.

Accountability is needed.

First, Kyle Rittenhouse needs to sue every corporate media outlet and every moronic commentator who smeared him into oblivion.

Second, states need to make sure that those falsely smeared by corporate media have adequate recourse under state law to bring defamation actions.

Third, entities who advertise on corporate media outlets that routinely lie and defame innocent people should be held accountable for facilitating defamatory material and false narratives.

Those in corporate media who peddle lies and partisan narratives are among the least reputable members of society and they shouldn’t be able to divide our communities and smear people with impunity.

Yes, the jury system worked. But the fact that it got to this point illustrates that we have a lot of work to do.

I’ll be doing my part and I hope you will too.
