Democrats in NJ have passed a law saying teachers in public schools no longer have to pass a basic reading, writing, and math test to become a teacher.  Democrats claimed that basic competency tests were racist against blacks because black applicants frequently couldn't pass a basic skills test.

Whites are racist when niggers are stupid. Got it!

Basic reading, writing and math competency is racist so say Democrats. I would like to see New Jersey's test scores after 10 years of incompetent teachers.

Republicans in Congress led by US Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, introduced a joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment to impose term limits for members of Congress.

The amendment would limit U.S. senators to two six-year terms and U.S. House members to three two-year terms. The two-page resolution states that after the amendment is passed by Congress and ratified by the states, the amendment would go into effect "within seven years after the date of its submission by the Congress."

The Laken Riley Act is the first bill in the 119th Congress addressing illegal immigration, requiring that aliens charged with theft or burglary be detained. The landmark legislation was named after Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student who was brutally murdered by an illegal alien while she was jogging at the University of Georgia.

Despite the overwhelming resistance from 159 Democrats, 48 voted with 216 Republicans to pass the legislation.

I dont like term limits for Congress. If I find someone I like, I should be able to vote for them as many times as I like.

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Presidents Donald J. Trump and Joe Biden told colleagues that he and the Department of Defense authorized use of directed-energy weapons against June 2020 rioters at Lafayette Park in Washington, D.C., a highly placed source told Blaze News.

Retired Gen. Mark A. Milley — who served as the 20th chairman of the Joint Chiefs from October 2019 through September 2023 — made the disclosure at a private gathering in October 2024, the source said.

A story quickly spread by the media claimed the action against Black Lives Matter protesters was undertaken to allow President Trump to walk from the White House to St. John's Church, where the president was famously photographed holding up a Bible.

An investigation by the Department of the Interior OIG found that the actions taken to remove protesters were not due to President Trump but rather solely to protect the contractors while they erected the safety fencing to protect the White House.

"Milley told a small group in October of 2024, 'We had directed-energy weapons at Lafayette Park in June 2020' to be used against rioters."
