I am enjoying watching former president Obama wiggle with reality as the progressive hard laid plans of deceit and malice fall apart in front of their faces. Like I explained to some people recently about how crazy the world appears to be, it’s a good thing. For years all this stuff was pushed under the rug, and now the carpet has been pulled up, and we realize what a mess everything is. But before, we were kidding ourselves. It was always a mess, but it was just hidden carefully from sight. And that’s how Obama, the communist radical terrorist, was trained to enter the White House under the guilt of racism and begin to demolish our country, for which Joe Biden has been tasked to finish. Only, people are not following the way they are supposed to, and this has left progressives exposed and baking under the hot sun of the light of day, a place they don’t like to be. Yet, I would say it’s a good thing to be tested like this and to punish those who have attacked us with the realization that they will not be successful. And to see the color go from their faces as to what happens next.
I’m going to call it a trap, the whole discussion about Biden’s infrastructure plan, the multitrillion-dollar monstrosity that only feeds the DC culture’s swamp creatures. As I said in the video above, I don’t think any Democrats care about infrastructure. They want to help sell Chinese communism by showing how gridlocked our government is compared to how China operates. They don’t like democratic processes, and China intends to control those they have paid off. According to the Biden laptop, the Biden family certainly belongs to China to show how slow and ineffective the American government is. Biden and the Democrats knew there would be a fight in Congress; they hoped there would be. They counted on it because it’s not the budget they want to be passed. It’s to convince weak-kneed Americans to give up on our current representative government and to accept Chinese communism. It was always the plan, and China has it worked out, so they win no matter what happens. Except if it is shown that Biden isn’t the president. Now that, that is something nobody is prepared for.
I’m not the biggest Amazon.com fan these days. So much so that after what they did to Parler, I removed my upcoming book from their Bookbaby Publishing business and went somewhere else. They are using their power to try to steer political theater into a direction favorable to them. But they are a business, and they do an excellent job at what they do, so it burns me up that there are accident reports that are starting to come out against them recently announcing that their workplace injuries have doubled. I explain the details in the video above, but the essence of this story is a large part of how government turns allies toward them through threats of activism by their compliance culture is one of the biggest problems of our modern time. Government makes activists out of companies like Amazon with a gun to their head to work against us, and we all must deal with this problem eventually.
Mike Lindell has certainly put it all out on the line. His new video on the election fraud issue has been out for a few weeks, and it has some very compelling information in it. Now I’ve said my position on the matter; I think Biden and his Democrats need to choke on the election fraud by being forced to stay in office. It’s hard to govern a country when you didn’t win it fair and square, and it is rather entertaining to watch these idiots squirm, knowing how guilty they are. I mean, that press conference from Harris in Mexico City was probably the most pathetic thing I’ve ever seen in a public office. But in Lindell’s video called Absolutely 9-0, he shows how China and other hostile countries tampered with the 2020 presidential election through digital machines, which has opened up a whole can of worms. However, as I explain in the video above, this crime was intended to be beyond our Supreme Court. It was committed as a dare to prosecute with a world court because the perpetrators are daring war and have no respect for our judicial system. And that’s why they committed the crime because they are betting that we won’t call them on it.
Of course, a government that has turned to crime for their glory and financial sustenance will view any threat to them as a “terrorist” act. But this criminal government, under the handpicked antics of corporate sponsorship and malicious intent of billionaire globalists, including Google, Facebook and Twitter, this criminal government has painted itself in a corner this time. Their diversion of using some fictional uprising such as the January 6th commission they are trying to stick on Trump supporters with a defensive position is ridiculous. They are the terrorists, not the angry people who were watching an election being stolen right in front of their faces. Compared to the anger at the Capitol on January 6th, 2021 is not the fault of the people themselves, but of a government who acted aggressively against them, then tried to blame what they are doing on the people who were at the Capitol. For Biden to say that white supremacy is the number one threat to American security, not the Taliban or any other global terrorist organization, is a guy who was a white supremacist as a KKK Democrat cheering on the south against blacks and trying to hide it now with all these false claims hoping nobody notices. Yeah, the terrorists were never the Trump supporters, they are currently in the Executive Branch, and they have been caught.
It is pretty smoky out there; it’s a war between ideologies and, you know, the rule. In wars or fights of any kind, the winner is determined by capitulation. And right now, it’s impossible to tell who is thinking of capitulating, but remember. We are not in a peaceful transition of power, and President Trump is not gripping power for power’s sake. We are in a full-out war for the influence of American ideas in the world. I think all this is healthy. Because of Trump, the world has its ideas challenged. That challenge is forcing honesty where it has otherwise been hidden. All that is good, as I said in the video above. The cracks are showing through the many methods of election fraud that were performed for Democrats to get the power they have gained in 2021. And no matter what happens as a result of this war, Joe Biden will never be considered the official president. Only five months into 2021, just over 50% of all Republicans do not believe Joe Biden is the legitimate president. And that number is growing as election audits are showing a lot of irregularities that factually did occur. There will come a time very soon where all those in the media who said that there was no election fraud will have to retract their statements and admit there was, just as they have been doing with Covid coming out of the Wuhan lab in China. And despite the smoke we see now, this is as good as it will ever get for Joe Biden and his Democrat insurgents. And that’s not very good. The best punishment is to force them all to live with what they have done. Every day, they look in that mirror, knowing that they have been caught and will go down in history as losers of the highest degree and criminal scum who used government offices to hide their many crimes for which reflection will never forget.
As if you didn’t need more proof of just how destructive and terrible our public education system is, here is another conspiracy theory turned into the fact, which I’ve talked about for many years. I’ve made it no secret that I think the government reaction to Covid-19 was a fake use of a virus to change social behavior toward communism. It wasn’t the virus itself that was dangerous; it was the human reaction to it that was. The use of Covid to turn the whole perceived outbreak into a government takeover of the United States, destroying its economy, establishing a coup of our President Trump, and further destroying the nature of freedom of a rival of China was always the goal. Well, now we know that the American Federation of Teachers, the labor union, helped write the CDC guidelines for Covid-19. Think about that, many of the stupid CDC rules that we have all been living under, which gave out-of-control governors entirely too much power eroding constitutional limits, came from a public education labor union that had communist goals for our country. And you know why? As an employee group, they were too lazy to do their already easy jobs. They wanted to sit home on their big, fat asses eating cake all day and expecting to get their extraordinarily high wages for doing nothing. They used the Covid virus as an excuse to get out of work, just like any other lazy slug that uses a doctor’s note to get time off. These members of the American Federation of Teachers wrote the note which the CDC signed ridiculously.
Now you also know, dear reader, why the CDC was bouncing around on their policies so much, changing their minds so often about what to do with Covid. It’s not like science was driving the decision-making process. A room of intelligent people wasn’t looking and analyzing what the medical profession saw on the front line to write CDC policy. Instead, we had China’s influence over the World Health Organization writing policy from one direction, a communist one. We had government labor unions that were socialist based, writing them on the other side. And Dr. Fauci was in the middle selling it to the public like the government stooge that he has always been. It wasn’t lives they were all trying to save, it was the destruction of our economy so that they could hopefully get rid of Trump, and they wanted a free ticket to sit home and still collect their paychecks that they were after. The rest of us were forced to live under those same guidelines, which destroyed many jobs and incomes of millions of Americans.
Even scarier was the jobs report from last week, where a million jobs were projected to return to the marketplace. But what they ended up with was only 266,000. Now the Biden administration backs the public education unions without question 100% of the time because “Dr. Jill” is a Doctor by the way and a teacher, so criticism of any teacher’s union is off-limits in this corrupt new White House. That leaves the government ill-equipped to explain why their tampering with the economy has not succeeded after their liberal economists’ predictions. They have used those CDC recommendations to destroy the effort to work in our economy. They killed so many jobs, and now people have been paid to stay home, and guess what, they are. There are millions of jobs out there that want to be fulfilled, and obviously, that’s where the White House got their number thinking it would be huge. After all, it was a shell game. Destroy the jobs under Trump with Covid, then after a cheated election, put a Democrat in office, restore those lost jobs from the formally red hot economy, and take credit for all the job creation. It would, of course, be challenging to create so many jobs after Trump and a 4% unemployment rate. The plan was to destroy the jobs to get Americans to switch presidents then restore those jobs once a Democrat was in place, and while all this was happening, the teachers would have shut down the schools and coasted through the year with free paychecks for work, not done but paid for anyway.
Only the jobs didn’t come back. Those who were paid to stay home and earn the money of a total wage or more because of those CDC guidelines that made work nearly impossible for most employers, and teaching people to work from home and still get paid have backfired. Even when the jobs are plug-and-play positions from the previous administration sent home due to Covid, this new government can’t even claim those they were planning to do. All this destruction you must remember came from the CDC recommendations that Trump was supposed to follow and which Biden has been living by religiously. We have all been under the thumb of emergency powers by authoritarian state governments who have taken great abusees of their new powers. Those powers were given to them not by the most intelligent people in the world trying to save lives but by a public education teacher union that had members who were too lazy to work and used the virus as a way to play Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, only for an entire year. As ridiculous as all that sounds, it’s precisely what happened. And many of those million jobs that the Biden administration wanted to come back were from restaurants that have now closed, and will never recover, amusement parks like Disney. They have had to lay off thousands and thousands of permanent workers in an otherwise thriving economy. And brick and mortar stores were further harmed by online shopping because nobody could leave their homes. Those jobs were destroyed by the government and the CDC guidelines that drove policy that hampered our economy and changed behavior forever.
The same idiots who thought they were going to have an April jobs report in the millions are the same knuckle dragging losers who believe that good coal mining jobs and nuclear power plants will be replaced with Green New Deal jobs, like building windmills and solar panels. Like it’s a one-for-one trade that will grow and create all kinds of new work opportunities. Which it won’t, but even if it did, the government has shown that it pays more for the lazy and unproductive to stay home on their growing asses and live off the government. And it all started by letting a public education union assist in writing the CDC guidelines for Covid-19, likely one of the dumbest things that have ever happened in government due to the scale and lack of checks and balances. Public schools are already a disaster because of these education unions. Now some geniuses at the CDC allowed unions to set policy the rest of us have had to live under? That will go down as one of the dumbest things that the government has ever done. But remember, the next time the CDC says anything and recommends something, that it’s not coming from a bunch of intelligent and professional people. It’s coming from the American Federation of Teachers or some other radical communist labor organization holding a bag of Doritos breaking the scales with 60 extra pounds of fat gained by not working. They used Covid to get free paychecks and still want more to stay home and watch television as the country falls into disrepair.
Without dipping into the waters of conspiracy, I have listened carefully to the liberals connected to Joe Biden after his speech to the two houses of congress and understand why Democrats have no idea how economics works. Joe Biden was asked that very question during an interview: he thought it was a good time to do all these taxable progressive items when it might harm the economy or something to that effect. His answer was, “why do you think the economy is coming back? Because we are investing.” I think when he said that, he believed it. He and other Democrats believe that “taxes” are the same things as “investing.” Therefore, taxes are investments in our children, infrastructure, job creation, and the only way to prosper. In another interview, Biden stated that only government could invest in highway building, railroads, and airports. He disputed the premise that private industry would be able to do those things, so in that way, he justified the role government played in building the nation.
As I said in the video above, all these ideas on economic theory came from the school of Karl Marx. And Marx died dirt poor and broke in London where his family suffered a great deal while he hid in the British Museum studying past economy theory to derive what he and his buddy Engles came to invent in Marxism. Liberals like Biden have been in government their entire lives and have never earned money they received but were just given it, spending their whole lives not learning the basic economic facts of reality. Joe Biden has been given money by the government his entire adult life. He has also been given many millions of dollars by foreign investment to conduct influence peddling, and like most Marxists, they think that is part of a healthy, manipulative government. The more influence you can peddle, the more money that people give you. So if you control the levers of power, you can get cash for your influence to peddle. That is how it is in all communist and socialist countries and why Democrats will do anything to gain more government power. They have come to understand the economic value through the power that can be peddled. But since they aren’t very smart about what creates money, they incorrectly associate its creation of value through government, not the effort of work and labor that comes from an idea generated by freedom.
Liberals are and will always be chained to Plato’s cave theory. Democrats only see the shadows on the cave wall to refer to the famous metaphor. They are broken in their first assumptions about how economies work, and they can lie to you with a straight face because they know of nothing else. This is yet another reason why they must cheat in elections because they aren’t just trying to gain more power to peddle in influence trading. Still, they are hiding from themselves these fundamental facts of economic thought. Joe Biden is working towards a universal wage given by the government to the people under it for their sustenance. Work and effort are entirely foreign ideas to Democrats. They think that all they must do to maintain an economy is to print more money, and like magic, the value will hold, which of course to any sane mind is preposterous. Yet that is what Democrats like Joe Biden honestly believe, chased down with a swag of insanity.
When you hear some of the costly proposals that the Biden administration has put forth, the billions here, the billions there, the billions everywhere that soon add up to trillions in additional debt, why don’t we forget about these measly $1400 checks? Why not make them a billion for each man, woman, and child in America. When governments can write checks of any number for anything they want, why not go that far or further. Concerning other things they are doing and wanting to spend money on, giving everyone a billion-dollar stimulus isn’t crazy. It would be cheaper than many of their proposals. So why limit a stimulus check to only $1400—for control. To give the dog the illusion of freedom when the invisible fence only lets you travel a few feet from the house? That we are supposed to believe that economic stimulation means the kind of junk you can buy with such a small check, a few bags of Skittles, and maybe a big-screen television. But then again, who wants to waste money buying a tv when you can steal one at the subsequent Democrat-led community riot over race relations? We learned that too this week, what Democrats think of race relations when they pummeled Tim Scott, a black Republican, for speaking after Biden’s speech about the state of the union. They called him Uncle Tim to lynch him for being Republican just like Democrats did when they owned slaves leading up to the Civil War. It wasn’t North and South that fought in that war to free the slaves; it was Republicans against Democrats.
All this shows how dangerous ideas can be to stupid people who don’t have enough personal constitution to resist grabbing power over others to fulfill the fantasy of their sheer stupidity. For the reasons I stated in the video, Joe Biden and other Democrats like Karl Marx start in the world as failures based on their thoughts. Marx was a lazy guy who was looking for a way to bend the world to his sentiments. Marx didn’t want to work as hard as Cornelius Vanderbilt and others did at that same time to acquire wealth and power. Marx wanted to sit in the British Museum contemplating history and theory. I’ve been to the spots where Marx studied so that I could understand something of his insanity on the subject. I walked the streets around the area there, trying to understand how a person like Marx could have arrived at the ridiculous notions about the economic value created by the idea of communism, which has then poisoned the world terribly. Lazy people love communism, and let’s face it, many people in the world are good for nothing and lazy to their core. They have in Marx a means of gaining power in government and using that power to trade influence. But like Joe Biden, who never learned the lessons of proper economic conduct and value, Democrats continue to embarrass themselves to the eyes of people who do know better.
It is an honest assessment and not just hyperbole to suggest that Democrats are just lazy and stupid, especially when making and maintaining money. For Biden to present with a straight face that taxation is an investment and that the more you do, the more you are investing for a better society is insanity on the level of Captain Nemo. And we are expected to follow this insanity toward our destruction. Never mind that Joe Biden and his investors who have propped him up are like every James Bond villain in the history of movies. Of course, the villains never see themselves as such; they always think they are saving the world by killing everyone in it. Or it is controlling them for their own good only the villains can see through insanity. That is the real danger of Marxism. It allows for such fantasies to exist in the minds of the stupid and lazy because it prevents any performance from seeing the light of day, and the rules of economic theory to permeate where it would otherwise not survive without a massive government to hide its faults from itself. And suppose anybody thought Joe Biden was stupid before this point of referred time. In that case, they know they have confirmation of it by his mouth, and the notion of a fourth stimulus check to keep the monsters of opinion residing under the water for just a while longer.
Yes, the speech to congress in late April of 2021 might as well have been written by Karl Marx. And that is what most of the commentators heard and reported in the wake after. It was the usual banter back and forth with some lovely comments about Tim Scott’s response. Tim is a great guy, and yes, he’s a black guy. I thought the Biden speech was so weak that my dog could have responded to it, so it was kind of a waste of time for Tim to connect him to the same event. It shows that Republicans missed the entire point of the Biden speech. Putting a black Republican into that parade of socialism was what they thought was a clever move when in all actuality, it was an endorsement of playing this political fight the way Democrats want it. No, the truth of the matter wasn’t about the issues or anything positive that Tim Scott might have said to poise Republicans to take back the House and Senate in 2022. The subtext and intent of the speech were much more sinister and global. I suffered through the address because I thought I needed to for my political hobby of commentary and advisement. And I’m glad I did because I wouldn’t have known otherwise that Xi Jinping was such a prominent character in the Biden speech. Biden spoke about how much time he had spent with Xi over the years and talked up the Chinese communist leader as a very ambitious man and that if we weren’t careful, we were going to lose everything to them.
Biden was soft-selling communism in the same way that people who sell timeshares get you to buy their product. They invite you in with the promise of no commitment, except for a little bit of your time. Then once you’ve slept in their condo, and they’ve treated you to a nice vacation, they insist on a pitch that throws loads of guilt at you, and before you know it, you are signing up for a timeshare. In this case, Biden said a whole lot that wasn’t obvious unless you understand these kinds of selling games. Biden threw out a very liberal agenda. Used Xi as the quintessential example we are chasing after in the world marketplace and that if we did not implement that liberal plan, we would all be working for China soon. Biden mentioned that we need to add pre-K classes to three-year-old kids and to offer two years of community college after high school, all for free, paid for by increased taxes on the rich and dynamic. Of course, Biden ignored the fact that our K through 12 education is a joke of liberalism that is harming children, not helping them now. But the point of this speech was to sell more government education to shape minds into friendly communist subjects for an emerging government.
But Biden said something else too, something that flew right over the heads of everyone. He suggested that Xi would often tell him that democracy doesn’t work, that it’s too messy. The implication is that communism is the way to go; that’s how you can get things done. Democracy is too slow. That the secret to success is in pushing things down people’s throats, they’ll thank you later. Biden, of course, was using Xi as the bad cop where Biden was playing good cop. Of course, Xi would approve and feed him a nice snack the next time they met on how well Biden did in selling communism without naming the beast to the top of the American government and the nation. Biden made it sound as if he was willing to give democracy a chance, but that soon we’d have to make a decision; otherwise, China would be kicking our ass economically. So, if Republicans didn’t get on board and unite with Democrats on infrastructure, taxes, health care, open borders, and the Green New Deal, then we would all fall to China in the years to come. Again, fear of a foreign power calling the shots and adopting socialism to fight communism is essentially the same thing. Capitalism isn’t even an option to the Biden administration. Of course, we knew it already, but Biden said it with his example of his admitted friend, Xi Jinping.
Now for anybody who truly understands economics and human empowerment, they know that China isn’t prosperous. I’ve addressed the issue many times here. China only succeeds by copying the United States and stealing intellectual property. Communist cultures destroy individual creativity and therefore ruin businesses. The only way they can achieve this is by luring American companies to their economy and selling Americans things at a cheaper rate than buying American typically does. Biden also addressed that issue by advocating that American’s “buy American” but then promoted that unions regain their power to take over the management of businesses, which are all socialist and communist in their intentions. Labor unions are not pro-American groups. They are international for a reason: to protect workers while selling to them the concept of socialism, which then ruins our culture from the inside out. Either way, Biden plans to hand America over to Xi Jinping by making it look like it’s for our good without telling anybody that China is helpless without the United States.
The real answers are, of course, more free-market enterprise. Less government school and more school of hard knocks. In buying American with those American companies being dedicated to the United States and not global conglomerates like Coka Cola, which is operated out of London these days, just a few blocks away from the grave of Karl Marx. And why would corporations still support Biden with his proposed tax hikes on the rich? Well, it’s to get into new markets; they want access to the markets of over a billion people in China. So to play ball in that game, they must adopt communism and China’s way of doing business. China put Biden on that stage that night, and he spoke as their representative. He certainly didn’t represent America. Biden said that if Republicans fought him too much on his policies that we’d have no choice but to turn to communism to survive as a country. It’s the same trick that these politicians have pulled on the global corporations. The sales pitch is that there are only 300 million people in America. There are over a billion in China. Which market is more valuable to you, Mr. and Mrs. Corporation? The Chinese never tell those corporations or our government about our partnership because there is always a catch, just like the timeshare salespeople. You might have access to those billion people, but they don’t have any money to buy those products. But by the time that these global corporations learn the hard truth, they have sold their souls to communism by then. And the paid-off politicians, like the Biden family, are in on the game. They work against America every day and sell the switch to communism through speeches like the one we heard from Biden. That is what the speech was about; it was a warning to cooperate with the radical Democrats or be destroyed. Because China is looming, and they are the ones in control.
Lakota Schools Seeks a Tax Increase to Cover Their Deficit Spending
I remember watching Brad Lovell’s campaign material on what he thought a school board was for. I wasn’t going to make a big deal about his naivete, I didn’t care much about the issue so long as Lakota wasn’t asking for more money, but I was embarrassed for him. He stated he wanted to get elected to the school board to support the leadership staff at Lakota, such as the current superintendent, the treasurer, etc. The school board’s role is to manage the district and provide that leadership, not to punt to chaos and let the teacher’s union run the school. And after the late Monday night vote of April 26th, it was only Lynda O’Connor who voted against even more raises for the latest teacher’s contract. In voting yes, Brad and three other school board members, including the current President Kelley Casper, who is up for reelection this year, have guaranteed that there will be another Lakota tax levy in 2022. They will wait to put the levy up for a vote because it will be between elections for the school board members. They’ll have to due to the massive deficit spending that Lakota has been engaging in over the last several years. Only Lynda O’Conner has shown any interest in managing the money of Lakota. On the other hand, Brad and Julie Shaffer have turned over all that responsibility to the “leadership team,” which they seem to have forgotten, works for them as elected representatives.
There were options, with the way that Covid has been, this would have been an excellent time to play chicken with the train of the Lakota Education Association. They have very little leverage currently to use a strike to dispute a lack of labor contract. The market conditions being what they are now could challenge a lot of the payroll that Lakota is committed to and force some legacy teachers to retire early. Parents, after all, have become used to not having a school to take their kids to due to Covid problems, so the brand of Lakota would at least have withstood some scrutiny. And given that Lakota is a destination community for many people, it would not be hard to replace any fresh out of college teachers and full of vigor for the job, making about half the wages of a legacy teacher of $100K or more. Those are management decisions, hard ones, but the kind of decisions that we elect school board members to conduct on our behalf. Instead, what happened was that only Lynda O’Conner had the guts to vote no on a new teacher contract that has unjustified raises contained within it. The rest of the school board caved to the teacher union demands and have signed us all up for a levy fight next year. Brad and Kelly are up for reelection this year, so that’s not a good time to put a levy on the ballot. And in two years, Julie Shaffer will be up for reelection. That makes next year for a levy to be just suitable for the politics of the school board at Lakota that is much more concerned about making progressive, expensive, and overrated teachers happy rather than working on behalf of the community to keep costs in check in a challenging time.
Many people who are voters in Lakota have been seriously restricted in their professional lives, going without pay increases since Covid started, or they have lost their jobs due to layoffs or forced early retirement. Because of Covid, more people are working from home, have learned to do other things with their children since schools were closed, and many of these teachers were home sitting around doing nothing. Simultaneously, the pandemic was used politically to reshape our society into a more progressive one. The voters aren’t going to be too happy to hear that all these teachers are getting a raise and because Lakota didn’t have the money to give them a raise, it’s going to force a tax increase proposal on their property taxes. Due to Joe Biden tax increases, increases in the cost of gas, government tampering with market economy needs, and unemployment that is much higher than when Trump was in the White House, Lakota is planning to demand more money for their lack of leadership with deficit spending.
Lakota had it made; they had a community of high-income wage earners with expensive property and many businesses to tax. They had declining enrollment, which meant they were bringing in more money than they were spending, by quite a lot. That’s why there hasn’t been a levy request since 2013, when the last levy was passed. However, Lakota has managed to deficit spend its way anyway by giving teachers raises over time that wasn’t needed. They are mandating that they now have to ask the community for more money because of their lack of leadership in a changing public education landscape. The pre-Biden administration problems of charter schools are still present. The social movement to attach tax money to children instead of the school district is still a hot topic, and it’s going to change shortly out of necessity. School board members like Brad, Julie, and Kelley at Lakota can drag out the inevitable for a while, but it’s coming quickly, and these reckless spending habits that they are so used to engaging in will be a thing of the past. Soon, Lakota will have to compete with other districts in a very real way, and this kind of behavior in a very suddenly cost-conscious culture where everything is now getting more expensive due to the reckless spending of the Biden administration will change voting patterns dramatically.
But you could hear in Brad’s voice the problem from before he was even elected to the school board. Like many people who run for that office, he has no idea what it’s supposed to be doing. He likes to be someone important in the community; it gives people who want attention something to do. Still, the hard stuff is punted to a superintendent supposed to be working for the school board as the source of leadership. These people want to do the job as long as nothing hard comes up, such as voting on the teacher’s contract. But as we have witnessed, only one school board member voted against it, and she was put under tremendous pressure to vote otherwise. People like Brad Lovell care more about school board uniformity, even if it’s the wrong answer, than in the proper response and arriving there through debate. Then, of course, the LEA teacher’s union knows this going into negotiations. They know they have the votes to approve a raise for their members before the negotiation even begins. Someone like Lynda O’Conner can try to negotiate and draw a hard line, but there was no incentive for the teachers to give up anything. They only know to take, take, take. They know Brad has a wife employed by the school, that he would like to see increases to the payroll budget because it ultimately helps him through his wife. And that is the truth of the matter, something they won’t talk about in the newspapers or nightly news. So prepare yourself for a fight, next year at Lakota, there will be a tax levy. Due to this school board making terrible decisions and spending money that they didn’t have, they were confident they could steal it from the taxpayers due to their selfishness and sheer stupidity.
