Holder, BHO, IRS officials, don't knows anything about the 3 scandals- does that make AmericansRead More more or less safe?

He (BHO) is certainly not inept. He is an agitator, creating chaos, for the smartest in the room heRead More surely doesn't know much, but does he? That is their tactic. Make him unaccountable for the future. We know about Behghazi- we know about the dinner Chris Steven had 1 hr before the attack with the Turkish diplomat we know about ship transporting weapons from Libya to Turkey into Syria to arm the rebels who are. (the enemy)..... AlQaeda, lets not forget FAST AND FURIOUS arming (the enemy) drug cartels, We know about operation castaways- arming Honduras. True. look them up. Boehner knows too, that's why he won't investigate Benghazi and this is our NATIONAL SECURITY. Its almost like they cant wait or want another 9/11. He certainly isn't incompetent- during the campaign in 2008, he said,"we're just 5 days away from fundamental transformation of the United States of America, and that is exactly what he's doing. He is making congress irrelevant, he is trashing the rule of law and our constitution, he is eliminating one by one the bill of rights, he is forming a national police force under DHS. He certainly not incompetent. He has rearranged the middle east, he has alienated our long allies England & Israel, and now is in bed with the Muslim brotherhood. His first phone call as P was to the P of Turkey. He knows exactly what he's doing. He certainly isn't incompetent - he has brought back racism, division, trashes our military, changed the engagement rules in combat, wasted more tax dollar, printed more money than anyone can imagine, giving power to the regulators w/ more regulations, relaxed immigration laws, welfare laws, letting criminals out of jail, all for what you ask? They need a crisis. As Emanule stated- never let a good crisis go to waste. Occupy Wall ST didn't do it, it must be big. This is the Cloward and Piven strategy to collapse the system, our American System- to implement something unknown, never tried, and no one will tell us.

Get out of the Common Core mandated curriculum that's how you save our children. He's a report fromRead More Dept of Ed- DOE released a report as part of its common core standards that included technology to monitor students in the name of developing best teaching practices that could promote "GRIT,TENACITY, AND PERSERVERANCE." Behavior task performance measures are the broad set of methods used to capture behavior consistent with perseverance or lack thereof, and in many cases associated emotional experiences, physical movements or facial expressions, physiological responses, and thoughts-- that students do in response to a particular challenge, the report said. Wanting to understand a student's response in a time of stress, the dept. report went on to state its desire to analyze various metrics, including facial expression, brain waves patterns, heart rate, posture and eye tracking using facial recognition cameras, posture analysis seats, pressure mouse, and wireless skin conductance sensor ( worn around the wrist). Sensors provide constant, parallel streams of data and are used with data mining techniques and self report measures to examine frustration, motivation/flow, confidence, boredom and fatigue, the report said.

while receiving Staples Rewards does help defray the cost of supplies for the teachers, they areRead More STILL putting cash out of their own pockets! This should not be. But Kudos to the teachers who put their students above their own financial situation. The Town and parents should be footing the costs, not the teachers.
