So we are going to continue to judge the people of the past by today's standards?
The New York Yankees have decided to stop playing Kate Smith's rendition of "God Bless America" after learning of her history of potential racism, the New York Daily News reported on Thursday.
According to the Daily News, Smith was a famous singer during World War II and previously recorded a song titled "Pickaninny Heaven." The tune was "directed at 'colored children' who should fantasize about an amazing place with 'great big watermelons.'" The video that accompanied the song was shot in an orphanage for black children and included imagery that was "startlingly racist."
Smith also reportedly recorded a tune titled, "That's Why Darkies Were Born," which includes the lyric, "Someone had to pick the cotton... that's why darkies were born."
The Yankees investigated the claims and ultimately decided to drop the tradition of playing Smith's "God Bless America" in the seventh inning.

Funny to hear so many Dems and the media clutching the pearls and crying that the AG was acting like he was the President's personal attorney.
Cue back to 2013, when then AG Eric Holder was quoted in Politico responding to when he might leave the administration saying "I still enjoy what I'm doing, there's still work to be done.I'm still the President's wing-man. I'm there with my boy, so we'll see." Nobody batted an eyelash at this quote. If Barr called himself Trump's wingman or that Trump was "his boy" they would be blowing their tops.

CNN has been fun to peek at today.
“The author of the two year exhaustive investigation didn’t find anything rising to a felony crime level, but let’s see if we can dig through his report and find something impeachable to still hang him by.”
They are all bat shit crazy at CNN, and then refer to themselves as ‘journalists’. further down the rat-hole the insane left goes. They want to get their man no matter the cost.

That was funny...a lot of effort and put together well. I liked the picture of the lady “parachuting” from the bi-plane. |

So the New York Yankees will no longer play Kate Smith's God Bless America in the 7th inning because it came out she sang some racist songs back in the early 1930's. That's right, the New York Yankees who were formed in 1901 and didn't allow a black player to play on their team until 1955 a full 8 seasons after Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier. The Yankees could have had Willie Mays and refused to even scout him because he was black.

The so called community won’t behave in school so they want the rules to change.
SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – The California State Senate voted to ban schools and principals from suspending students for “willful defiance” of teachers, staff, and administrators.
The Senate approved SB 419 Monday by a vote of 30-8. It moves to the Assembly next.
A similar bill was vetoed by Governor Jerry Brown last legislative session.
Under the new version (Senate Bill 419), students in grades 4-8 wouldn’t be suspended for disrupting school activities or willfully defying school authorities, including teachers and staff. The bill would also ban schools from suspending students in grades 9-12 for the same thing until January 1, 2025. The law would apply to both public and charter schools.
Existing law already prohibits schools from suspending children in grades K-3 for disrupting or willful defiance. Existing law also prevents schools from recommending the expulsion of students in all grades for disrupting or willful defiance.
Students could still be suspended or expelled for other acts, including threatening violence, bringing a weapon or drugs to school, or damaging school property. Teachers could also still be allowed to “suspend pupils from class for the day and the following day who disrupt school activities or otherwise willfully defied valid
authority of supervisors, teachers, administrators, school officials, or other school personnel engaged in the performance of their duties.”
As part of the new bill, superintendents or principals would be asked to provide alternatives to suspension or expulsion that are “age appropriate and designed to address and correct the pupil’s specific misbehavior.”
Research has shown the category of willful defiance was disproportionately used to discipline minority students, specifically African-Americans. Assembly Bill 420 was signed into law by Governor Brown in 2014, eliminating the expulsion option for schools. It took effect on January 1, 2015.
In the 2015-16 school year, 96,421 students suspended for willful defiance – a decrease of nearly 30,000 from 2014-15 school year. Willful defiance suspensions accounted for 24% of total suspensions statewide that school year. Willful defiance suspensions made up 20% of all suspensions in the 2016-17 school year, and 14% in the 2017-18 school year.
African-American students made up 5.6% of enrollment in California schools in 2017-18, but accounted for 15.6% of willful defiance suspensions. Conversely, white students made up 23.2% of statewide enrollment but made up only 20.2% of willful defiance suspensions.

Put them in the corner with a dunce hat on? There supposed to tell them that its okay to be disobedient to authority because the state and schools care far more about the trouble makers then they do the 90+% of kids who are there to learn and don’t cause trouble Although I have tremendous respect for individual teachers, I don’t have much sympathy for teachers as a profession regarding this topic. Their union has been directly responsible for getting politicians elected that support this stuff and for creating rules that make it almost impossible for making positive change in our schools. |

The teachers union is probably the most powerful union in Calif but at the same time probably the dumbest when it comes to making sure our children get a quality education

Consider how teachers (and therefore the union) are paid. Teacher pay is directly tied to student contacts. Suspended students do not count as contacts so the teacher gets paid less and therefore the union gets paid less. It’s not significant on an individual scale but statewide the suspension days can start to add up. Once a student shows up to class it counts as a student contact even if you kick the kid to the admin office in 3 seconds. It is the union pushing for more money in their pockets at the expense of the teacher’s health and the other students’ experience. TRO |

A state judge in Massachusetts was indicted Thursday for refusing to allow ICE to take custody of an undocumented immigrant, according to court papers.
Judge Shelley M. Richmond Joseph, 51, of Natick, was charged in the case along with a court officer, Wesley MacGregor, 56, of Watertown.
"The allegations in today's indictment involve obstruction by a sitting judge, that is intentional interference with the enforcement of federal law, and that is a crime," said U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling. "We cannot pick and choose the federal laws we follow, or use our personal views to justify violating the law."
According to officials, police in Newtown arrested a suspect on March 30, 2018 for being a fugitive on narcotics charges. Officials discovered that the suspect had been deported twice and Immigration and Customs Enforcement issued a detainer.
On April 2, 2018, a plainclothes ICE officer came to the district court in Newtown to take custody of the suspect and was told to wait in the lobby.
But during the course of the proceedings, Joseph allegedly arranged for the suspect, his lawyer and an interpreter, to leave through a different exit, escorted by MacGregor.
"The actions of the judge in this incident are a detriment to the rule of law and highly offensive to the law enforcement officers of ICE who swear an oath to uphold our nation's immigration laws," said Todd M. Lyons, the acting field office director of ICE in Boston.
The defendant, who's not identified by name in court documents, had been previously deported twice from the U.S.
According to the documents, Judge Joseph arraigned the immigrant facing deportation on those charges, but later in the day she recalled his case. At that point, according to court documents Judge Joseph asked the ICE officer to wait outside the courtroom while proceedings took place.
The indictment includes court transcripts from the hearing which took place on April 2, 2018.
"ICE is gonna get him?" she asks the defendant's attorney before turning off the court recorder, which the indictment says is a violation of Massachusetts court rules.
According to the government, 52 seconds later court recordings were turned back on.
The court clerk then asked the judge if she wanted to let the ICE officer back in, because he was set to visit the lockup portion of the jail, she declines and lets the unidentified subject go.
"That's fine. I'm not gonna allow them to come in here. But he's been released on this," she says.
The court officer, who is also charged asks if he is released, the Judge says yes.
"He is. Um, [Defense Attorney] asked if the interpreter can accompany him downstairs, um, to further interview him...- and I've allowed that to happen," she continues.
After that, the government says without the knowledge of the ICE officer, MacGregor releases the alleged suspect out the back door, the government alleges, and says that "defendant Joseph and the Defense Attorney discussed devising a way to have A.S. avoid being arrested by the ICE Officer."
"Immediately following the proceeding, defendant MacGregor escorted A.S. from the Courtroom downstairs to the lockup, accompanied by the Defense Attorney and an interpreter," the indictment reads. "Once inside the lockup, defendant MacGregor used his security access card to open the rear sally-port exit and released A.S. out the backdoor at approximately 3:01 p.m,," the indictment continues.
Shelley previously served as a criminal defense attorney and was appointed to the Massachusetts district court by Governor Charlie Baker in 2017.
When the allegations first surfaced, Governor Baker told the Boston Globe that the judge should be removed from hearing criminal cases pending an investigation into her conduct.
"Look, judges are not supposed to be in the business of obstructing justice," Baker said.
She is due in court Thursday afternoon.

The AG of Massachusetts made a statement complaining about the charges. She didn’t say the judge didn't do this but basically said it should have been handled via a complaint process about judicial performance, not criminally. What a bunch of BS. If this information is right, the judge knowingly let this guy escape ICE after turning off the courts recording system. That sounds like conspiracy and intent. Lock this judge up for as long as possible. |

Fuck you North Korea!
North Korea slapped the US with a $2 million bill for the hospital care of Otto Warmbier — forcing an American official to sign a pledge to fork over the money before being allowed to fly the comatose student back home from Pyongyang in 2017, according to a new report.
The US envoy sent to retrieve the University of Virginia student from the rogue regime signed an agreement to pay the bill on instructions passed down from President Trump, two people familiar with the situation told the Washington Post on condition of anonymity.
The invoice ended up at the Treasury Department, where it remained unpaid throughout 2017, the sources said. It was unclear whether Team Trump ultimately paid the bill or whether it came up in the run-up to the president’s two summits with Kim Jong Un.
The White House declined to comment to the newspaper about the bill, which was not previously disclosed by US or North Korean officials.
“We do not comment on hostage negotiations, which is why they have been so successful during this administration,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders wrote in an email to the New York Post.

So Noth Korea wanted bail money to release the guy? Big fucken deal. That doesn't mean we have to pay it. Send the bill to Obama. I'm sure the Iranians gave him a kickback on that money he sent them the last few days in office |

At what point will the so called media report the truth regarding the so called community? Statistics don’t lie. They have a terrible out of wedlock childbirth rate. Do poorly in school with behavior problem and have bad interactions with police based on bad behavior. Of course the so called community will claim they are targeted just as the maker of a bad quality car will say repair shops target them. The so called community is defective and has poor quality control.
