Support for Voter ID Laws
Veronica Kyrylenko of The New American
Black Leaders and Voters Support Voter ID Laws, Rejecting Democrats’ Claims of Racism
Outrage from Democrats, powerful corporations, and Major League Baseball about U.S. voter ID requirements, specifically Georgia’s “Election Integrity Act of 2021,” feels like leftovers reheated for the third time. Whenever Republicans propose common-sense voter-ID measures to help safeguard U.S. elections, Democrats react with thundering calls of voter suppression and Jim Crow 2.0. Indeed, from President Joe Biden to major corporations to the Hollywood elite, leftists are labeling voting reforms adopted in Georgia and other Republican-run states as voter suppression and racism.

Building Education for Students Together
FreedomWorks BEST Releases Nationwide Spring Tour Schedule WASHINGTON, D.C.FreedomWorks’ nationwide BEST (Building Education for Students Together) tour, a national parent-led education movement to expand education freedom and empower parents to get more involved in their children’s education, continues this week. After a successful national event in Nashville last month, BEST has traveled across the country to continue supporting, educating, and, most importantly, bringing together parents and other groups who wish to see a positive change in our nation’s education system. Laura Zorc, FreedomWorks Director of Education Reform, commented: “The goal of BEST is to unite coalitions of parents from across the country to fight for our children. Parents are the only force strong enough to stand up to teacher’s unions, fully reopen schools, and ensure that their children have the best education possible. “Parents should be the final authority on their children’s education. This grassroots movement is about reminding teachers’ unions and power-hungry bureaucrats that the behavior they’ve exhibited throughout the lockdowns will no longer be tolerated. BEST plans to train and recruit parents to be advocates and run for school board positions in their local communities so that they can be changemakers, reject anti-American curricula and critical race theory, and take a definitive stand against a school system that continually chooses to put politics ahead of the needs of children.” BEST Tour Spring Leg:

When do repeated acts of hate crimes against people of Asian descent become mere “acts of random violence”? When six out of six of the most recent assailants have been African Americans. Article here.

The US is now in its 16th month of record gun sales with January and March of this year being the first two months to ever see more than 4 million guns sold in a single month. Another surprising trend is the shift among recent gun buyers away from pistols to rifles (like the AR-15). Nothing sells guns faster than a gun control advocating Democrat President and Democrat mayors who allow rioting to go unchecked in their cities. Article here.

As you may be aware based on almost 16 million gun sales in this country in just the first 4 months of 2021, the US is on track to shatter the old record of 39.7 million guns sold in the US in 2020.
https://www.fbi.gov/file-repository/nics_firearm_checks_-_month_year.pdf/view

But what is surprising is what state is leading all the others by a HUGE margin, averaging more than 1 million new gun sales per month and accounting for 25% of all the guns sold in this country so far this year.Texas? Nope.Florida? Nope
California? Nope

Chicago’s home state of Illinois, with a population of just 12.6 million!

From the Tax Foundation and their article.
“In today’s press conference, Biden told the following whopper of a lie: “The average American n family is paying a higher TAX RATE than billionaires.” Here is how easy to disprove that statement: Under the Trump tax plan, a couple filing jointly with a combined household income of $106,000 and taking the standard deduction of $25,100 (2021 figure) has a net taxable income of $80,900.  The current tax bracket for that level of net taxable income is 12%. 12% of $80,900 is $9,708 which is a tax rate on gross income of 9.16% (of $106,000) Can you name a single billionaire with more than $5 Million of gross personal income that falls into either the 12% tax bracket or pays just 9.1% of Gross income? Even the data from Biden’s own IRS proves that claim is a lie.  Their data shows an effective tax rate of 26.8% for the top 1%.”
Kamala Harris wins her own award and here’s why. Mobile users begin at 21:31
Vice President Kamala Harris made largely false claims about firearms during a CBS News interview on Wednesday following this week’s incident in Boulder, Colorado. “I actually thought that Sandy Hook would have been the thing that moved Congress … when … babies were slaughtered,” Harris, who supports abortion, said, “And they did not act, and they did not act, it’s time for Congress to act and stop with the false choices. This is not about getting rid of the Second Amendment. It’s simply about saying we need reasonable gun safety laws.” “There’s no reason why we have assault weapons on the streets of civil society. They are weapons of war,” Harris falsely claimed. “They are designed to kill a lot of people quickly. We all agree that we need background checks.” “Let’s just be practical and agree, people who have been found to be a danger to themselves and others should not be able to purchase a gun,” Harris falsely suggested.

Title IX Executive Order
Although executive orders do not have the force of law, they provide instructions to agencies throughout the Executive Branch. In particular, they instruct the federal agencies to bring lawsuits against those school districts that do not comply with the administration’s interpretation of the law— even if that interpretation is incorrect and the underlying law has not been changed. Senior Litigation Counsel at New Civil Liberties Alliance Harriet Hageman says, “It is unfortunate Biden used International Women’s Day to further an agenda that will undermine the very purpose of Title IX by erasing the gains and benefits girls and women have been able to realize as a result of that landmark civil rights act. President Biden’s latest executive order is not only misguided but is also a violation of separation of powers. He simply does not have the authority to write the law, only Congress can take on that role. NCLA has and will continue to challenge these efforts to use Title IX to take rights from women and to railroad individuals in Title IX proceedings where even the most rudimentary due process protections are denied to the accused.” Listen to the full interview here.

Informed Consent: COVID-19 Vaccine / Gene Therapy

Colorado Senate Bill 21-062
Interview with Jeffrey J. Clayton who is the Executive Director of the American Bail Coalition.
If passed, Colorado Senate Bill 21-062 would remove law enforcement’s authority to make arrests of those charged with nearly all misdemeanors and a large percentage of felonies. Instead of being required to post a monetary bond to help prevent their skipping bail, these individuals would simply be issued a summons with a request that they appear in court on a scheduled date.
Advocates claim SB-21-062 would save the state money and reduce jail overcrowding. Many also say that monetary conditions of bail are inherently unfair to poor people and minorities because those with greater financial resources can afford to “buy” their way out of jail. However, opponents of the bill say that public safety would be seriously compromised by its passage. Not only would police officers be prevented from exercising discretion in making arrests, but it also calls for courts to issue personal recognizance bonds to defendants who have missed appearing in court three or more times.
If SB-21-062 is passed, those charged with serious crimes — class 4, 5, or 6 felony or a class 3 or 4 drug offenses — will be deemed automatically eligible for release on their own personal recognizance. That is, these individuals will carry a strong presumption to be freed on a personal recognizance bond. They include those charged with — under certain circumstances — aggravated robbery, car theft, disarming a police officer, second-degree murder, and first-degree assault.
The Utah legislature recently repealed HB-206, a very similar bill that it passed in 2020, only months after it took effect when a majority of lawmakers agreed that the new laws created confusion and disruption. New York state passed similar laws in 2019 and repealed them in early 2020, even in the midst of the pandemic, after they were met with overwhelming disapproval from prosecutors, law enforcement, and victims’ rights groups.

The Atlanta Shootings
Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer is Pastor Emeritus of The Moody Church where he served as the Senior Pastor for 36 years.
The mainstream media is bending backwards to depict the Atlanta mass shooting in a sexual massage parlor as a racially motivated crime. But they ignored completely suspect Robert Aaron Long’s own admission to the Cherokee Country Sheriff’s office that he was driven by sexual addiction and he and sought to “eliminate the temptation” by committing acts of violence against the ‘massage parlor’ workers, some Asian, others white.

From Market Watch.com ” Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., on Tuesday called the PRO Act part of the “Democrats’ socialist agenda.” She added that the bill, which would require workers of an organized workforce to pay union dues even if they do not join the union, would “harm the economy and the American worker, and do a great injustice to employers who risk their capital every day to create jobs.”
Also opposed to the legislation are chambers of commerce and other business groups, plus some freelancers and independent contractors who say they will lose work if the bill passes because it includes the so-called ABC test. Under the test, workers can be considered independent contractors only if they control their work; if their duties fall outside the scope of a company’s normal business; and if they have an independent business doing that work.”

The last thing America’s workers need is a #UnionBossBailout, but House Democrats just caved to Big Labor demands instead of standing up for workers and job creators fighting to achieve the American Dream.

America’s Critical Thinking Crisis
New research suggests that those with extremist views have difficulty with complex mental tasks, and it’s not happening in a vacuum. American high school and college students are suffering from a major setback: They don’t know how to critically think for themselves, and the health, safety, and economy of America are all at risk because of it. Critical thinking expert and professor Steven J. Pearlman, PhD.’s latest book, America’s Critical Thinking Crisis: The Failure and Promise of Education, shows that the problem doesn’t fall on educators or Gen Z, but on a fundamentally flawed conception of what education means. Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, and educational research, it demonstrates how we can create legions of divergent thinkers and problem solvers by tapping the hardwiring that innately makes children think all the time, in all areas of life – just not so much in school.
