"In a comprehensive profile, Politico said billionaire evangelical
Christian DeVos has found herself stymied by the bureaucratic restraints
on her job, but that bringing about change in Washington requires
“time, patience and government savvy — three things she does not have.”
DeVos, said Politico’s Tim Alberta, is on a “religiously infused journey
to reimagine the relationship between government, parents, teachers and
schools.”
The Secretary wants to allow parents more freedom to withdraw their
children from public schools and enroll them in charter schools,
religious schools and private schools.
What makes DeVos radical is she
wants federal tax dollars to follow those children out of the public
school system.
One problem with implementing her plan is that public schools receive
very little of their funding from the federal government. Another is her
overall unpopularity and ineffectiveness.
Her first budget proposal for the department — one which would have
slashed funding from multiple school programs and reapportioned that
money to DeVos’ pet cause, “school choice” — was rejected by Congress.
Now, with her agenda on the rocks and morale at the Education Department
cratering, some predict that DeVos may return to the private sector
sooner than she’d planned."

Today's Terrorist Attack Changes Nothing (And, Unlike Gun Massacres, It Shouldn't)
Posted by
Rude One
Some cunt from Florida rented a Home Depot pickup truck and cuntishly drove it into a bike path in Lower Manhattan, killing and injuring people. Then that cuny, who is probably a crazy cunt, started shooting with a pellet gun because he's a pathetic cunt, and then he yelled, "God is great" in Arabic, which is a cunty thing to do in this situation, but this cunt is a total cunt who then got shot in his cunt ass (literally, in his ass) before being arrested.
It's frightening. It's awful. Our hearts should go out to the families of the dead and wounded. We should look at some enhanced safety measures, maybe some barricades. We should make sure that mental health care is available to people who need it. And that's pretty much it.
Except, see, conservative politicians are gonna go apeshit, as usual, demanding crackdowns and bans and more. It's the exact opposite of what they want to do when there is a gun massacre, which is tell everyone to shut the fuck up about guns and la-la-la-I-can't-hear-you-with-the-NRA's-dick-in-my-ears.
The difference between this attack and a gun massacre is that no amount of regulation of cars is going to prevent some fucknut from slamming into people. But gun regulations can (and do) limit the number of gun deaths. In fact, if the aforementioned cunt had had a real gun, many more people could have been harmed.
This is New York City. We will absorb this and go on, whatever this dumb shit did. The Greenwich Village Halloween parade is going on as I write this, a wonderful, debaucherous event that is an affront to the fundamentalists of every faith. Tomorrow, I guarantee there will be bikers and joggers back in the area. Because the cunts don't get to win. And the politicians don't terrorize us.
We live in an incredibly safe period in American history, despite the Fox "news" and Infowars freakout lies about BLM rioters and Antifa executioners. Shit is gonna happen, but a whole lot of shit needs to happen to move us out of living in an incredibly safe time.
When we can do something about violence (like gun laws, like dealing with poverty, like punching Nazis - oh, wait, scratch that one), we should. But every shithead with a credit card and directions to the Home Depot is never gonna be stopped. Pause, mourn, move on.
We don't need to give the bastards more power. The terrorist bastards and the politician bastards.

Trump Reportedly Had A Meltdown In Anticipation Of Indictments In The Russian Probe
The first indictment from Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation
into Russia's role in the 2016 presidential election was made on
Monday. As the probe intensifies, Donald Trump continues to downplay the
criminal charges, insist there was no collusion between his campaign
and Moscow and trying to redirect attention to Hillary Clinton's emails.

Puerto Rico utility cancels controversial $300 million contract with Montana firm hired to repair electrical grid
Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rossello has called
for the immediate cancellation of a $300 million contract with
Montana-based Whitefish Energy Holdings, a tiny company based in the
hometown of Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke.

Trump Still Hasn’t Released His Tax Returns, What’s He Hiding?
It has been nearly a year since Donald Trump won the electoral vote to
become resident, and he is still refusing to release his tax returns.
The only logical explanation is that he’s hiding information that he
doesn’t want us to see. We have to demand better from our elected
officials, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.
Ivanka Trump Says American Workers Are The “Best”, Still Has Her Products Made Overseas
During an interview on Fox News, Ivanka Trump claimed that both her and
her father believe that American workers are the absolute “best” in the
world.
If that’s the case, why do both Ivanka and Donald have the products for their clothing lines made overseas?
It has nothing to do with tax codes, as Ivanka claims, and has everything to do with paying slave wages to workers. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

NFL Owner On Protests: "We Can’t Have The Inmates Running The Prison"
During a meeting to address the NFL players protesting during the
national anthem, the owner of the Houston Texans said something that
really upset players. Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola, Francesca Fiorentini,
and Judah Friedlander, the hosts of The Young Turks, explain the fallout
from his comments.
HOUSTON -- Some Texans players considered staging a walkout following a comment by team owner Bob McNair that compared NFL players to "inmates," a source told ESPN.
About 10 players, including Pro Bowl wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, left the facility Friday, the source said. Sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter that Hopkins' absence from practice was directly related to McNair's comment. Running back D'Onta Foreman also did not practice over the quote, sources told ESPN.
Most of the players who left returned to the facility, the source said, and the remaining players were talked out of their protest by the coaching staff. "When it happened, there's a thousand emotions going through your mind," left tackle Duane Brown said. "Obviously, one of the emotions is to leave the building immediately. [But] we decided to go to work. The situation's not over. It's something that we'll reconvene and talk about again, but we had practice today."
Texans coach Bill O'Brien said Hopkins had taken a "personal day." "I'm 100 percent with these players," O'Brien said. "I love these players, I love this coaching staff. We will show up in Seattle and play. We will play very hard. Seattle is a great football team with a great coaching staff. But we will be there when the ball is kicked off in Seattle."

First charges filed in Mueller investigation
By Pamela Brown, Evan Perez and Shimon Prokupecz, CNN
Updated 8:57 PM ET, Fri October 27, 2017
Washington (CNN)
A
federal grand jury in Washington, DC, on Friday approved the first
charges in the investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller,
according to sources briefed on the matter.
The
charges are still sealed under orders from a federal judge. Plans were
prepared Friday for anyone charged to be taken into custody as soon as
Monday, the sources said. It is unclear what the charges are.
A spokesman for the special counsel's office declined to comment.
Mueller was appointed in May to lead the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
Under
the regulations governing special counsel investigations, Deputy
Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who has oversight over the Russia
investigation, would have been made aware of any charges before they
were taken before the grand jury for approval, according to people
familiar with the matter.

Crazed Republican Congressman Runs From CNN Reporter Yelling “You’re Fake News!”
Republican Congressman Paul Gosar has been pushing some wild conspiracy
theories recently, and when a CNN reporter finally got the chance to
question Gosar about his claims, he decided to yell at the reporter
saying “You’re fake news” before running away down the hallway.
This is the kind of behavior that Trump has normalized since becomingresident,
as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins points out.

In this ‘Dollemore Daily’ Jesse addresses Whitefish Energy, which is the
TWO-PERSON company that was awarded a NO-BID 1/3rd of a BILLION DOLLAR

Stop Praising Horrible Republicans Just Because They Don't Like Trump
Many Republicans have come forward recently to admonish or outright
reject the presidency of Donald Trump.
And while the media is heaping praise on men like George W. Bush and Jeff Flake, they completely ignore the fact that the agendas of the dissenters are no different than those of Trump.
We have to stop forgiving these Republicans of their past sins just because they don’t like Donald Trump, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.
