Proof "The View" just says stuff they're clueless about

Co-host of "The View" Whoopi Goldberg has proved that leftists will say things and make claims of which they have no idea what they're talking about.

Goldberg was touting Dr. Jill Biden for surgeon general if Joe gets elected. She even said, obviously without knowing what she was talking about, that "[S]he's a hell of a doctor," as if she had a clue as to Jill Biden's medical expertise.

Dr. Jill Biden is a PhD, not an MD. She has a doctorate of education but Goldberg assumed otherwise and then said how great she would be as surgeon general.

"I'm hoping Dr. Jill becomes the surgeon general ... she's a hell of a doctor. She's an amazing doctor," Goldberg said.

Co-host Meghan McCain, the only non-idiot of the group, was doubtful of Goldberg's claim as to Biden's medical acumen. "I could be wrong; I thought she was a PhD."

"She's a teacher," co-host Sunny Hostin said, "but, you know, might be good for Betsy DeVos' post." DeVos is the Education Secretary.

Not such a great save for Goldberg's crew.

Obviously, nobody on "The View," or on the left, cares to check facts, or if they do, they twist them to suit their politics. I'm not saying people on the right never do this, but the left does it as a rule.

After the commercial break, Goldberg acknowledged the mistake.

"I was wrong, before you start texting and emailing," she said, grinning at the audience of trained parrots.

AOC opposes school choice but got her goddaughter into charter school

AOC wearing her "See, I'm not stupid" eyeglasses
Don't you just hate it when someone says to you: "Do as I say, not as I do"? It's infuriating.

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos verbally obliterated socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) over AOC's [aka "I Can Cook, Cha-Cha-Cha;" aka Alexandria Occasionally-Comatose] obvious hypocrisy. The socialist from the Bronx is a staunch critic of school choice but it was uncovered that she got her goddaughter into a charter school.

“This area’s like a lot of where my family is from,” the socialist said in a Facebook Live video in 2017, before she became a public figure. “My goddaughter, I got her into a charter school, like, maybe a block or two down.”

Like maybe, yah, what.

“Embracing charters would be a big no-no for Ocasio-Cortez’s Democratic socialist base, which calls for the total abolition of charters, arguing that their existence hurts traditional public schools,” The New York Post reported. “Though Ocasio-Cortez has frequently talked about how her own family fled the Bronx to avoid the borough’s failing public schools, she has also publicly stood in total lockstep with anti-charter advocates.”

Her philosophy is: "if that's like where they live, they should go to school there and, like, forget about it." Her definition of "they" is everyone not in her family or friends circle.

DeVos responded to The Post’s report by exposing AOC's hypocrisy, tweeting:
 How nice that @AOC claims to have helped her goddaughter get into a public charter school. It’s a shame she works to deny that opportunity to every other disadvantaged family in America. “Good for me, but not for thee,” indeed. #EducationFreedomhttps://t.co/a2RhOEeU0o
— Secretary Betsy DeVos (@BetsyDeVosED)
Ray Domanico, director of education policy at the Manhattan Institute, blasted the lipsticked loonbag for her hypocrisy.

“I am not surprised by the hypocrisy,” Domanico told The Post. “Charter schools are incredibly popular with the communities and populations that a lot of these Democratic politicians claim to be representing … People in the Bronx can find a good school for their young ones now as the congresswoman apparently did for her goddaughter.”

I once worked at a charter school in New York City's Spanish Harlem, so I speak with a little experience.

These schools are often better than public schools because teachers are held accountable for their performance and can be terminated from employment if they are not performing well. Public schools are unionized and it's practically impossible for them to be terminated short of committing a serious criminal act.

What's really troubling is how the left-leaning media refuses to expose the hypocrisy of their fell leftists.

Leftists immediately attack Sarah Huckabee Sanders


It didn't take more than a New York microsecond for the liberals to criticize White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. She is only the third woman ever to be appointed to that post since it began in 1929 but that didn't stop the 'identification party' who pretends to support women and minorities.

Predictably, a number of sexist twits on Twitter tweeted about her physical appearance, which should tell you everything you need to know about them.

"sarah huckabee sanders reminds me of someone that would have pushed me into a locker in middle school" --Talia Lavin (@chick_in_kiev)

I believe Talia Levin was pushed into school lockers many times over in middle school just for being a scumcrumpet. She probably got her fair share of atomic wedgies as well.

If not, she probably deserved them.

"Sarah Huckabee Sanders looks like every woman eating lobster on a cruise ship" --Damien Fahey (@DamienFahey).

Damien evidently spent a lot of time checking out people's plates on cruise ships--maybe it turns him on. But what's really clear is that Damien is a sexist pig, the kind that his liberal goombahs like to label conservatives.

And if Sarah reminds him of "every woman eating lobster" that means she is a good representative of every woman, as opposed to Hillary Clinton who is a good representative of someone who, by being a woman is her biggest accomplishment.

"I think it's, certainly professionally, one of the greatest honors that any person could ever have, to work in any capacity within this building," Sarah said. "And to get to do that up here, in such a public way and speak on behalf of the president is absolutely an honor.

An honor that Talia Levin and Damien Fahey will never know as they ooze envy and sexism in their words.

But it's Mediaite that attacked Huckabee Sanders simply because she's a conservative. They posit that she and the females of "Trumpland" hurt women:

"How Sarah Sanders and the Women of Trumpland Hurt Women (Column by @KylieTCheung)

The article cites Kellyanne Conway, Betsy DeVos and Ivanka Trump claiming the "women of Trumpland all, in some way or another, use their platforms to hurt other women."

"The unfortunate reality is that very few women will ever have the influence of Hillary Clinton, who uses her status as former First Lady and former Secretary of State to sell her influence by securing large donations for her so-called "foundation."

Wait!

Cheung didn't write that. No, the leftist wrote: "The unfortunate reality is that very few women will ever have the influence of Ivanka, who uses her status as First Daughter to promote her brand while exploiting the working mothers of her overseas factories."

Socialists always scream "exploiting" when people who would otherwise starve are given low-paying jobs in which they can eventually grow as evidenced in South Korea, for example.

Cheung blathered on: "Few will ever have the influence of DeVos, who uses her position as education secretary to convene with groups that bully rape victims."

What? Cheung doesn't explain what 'bully rape' means nor give actual examples. DeVos didn't need this job--she is an incredibly wealthy woman and believes strongly in charter schools because they work, in spite of their non-union status. Actually, because of their non-union status.

"And few will ever command the audiences of Conway and Sanders, who use their platforms to deny Trump sexism."

They don't deny Trump's past and never excused it. Cheung must have confused them with the Bill Clinton-era media and his supporters. She must have also confused Conway and Sanders with liberals like Hillary Clinton who support gender-selective abortions that weed out girl babies. Both Conway and Sanders are pro-life.

Supporters of Sarah Huckabee Sanders also tweeted and took swipes at the liberals who insulted her:


"Actually it's feminists who hurt women by their complete obsession with being offended" --Michelle oh (@mkohlrogge)

Another tweeted:

"It is official-Liberals belong to the snarky mean girls club. What hypocrites as the next thing out of their mouth is "anti-bullying" --Linda white (@lwhite3540)

Like the Antifa movement that claims to be against fascism, the hypocrisy of these liberals is just as palpable.

They tried protests, now they'll try magic against Trump

"Bubble bubble, toilet trouble"
It was bad enough when protesters participated in Women's Marches, the Day Without Immigrants. Then there are the town hall meetings and the paid Soros hecklers.

Now it's getting serious. 

Now the freaking witches are getting into the act against President Donald Trump and they have potions and big pots with eye of newt and gingrich too along with buckets of Hillary fan tears and an orange lock of hair.

A Facebook page announced that the ritual of witches will be the first of many "to be performed at midnight every waning crescent moon until Donald Trump is removed from office."

And as the liquid from the magic potion returns to the sky, new Hillary fan tears will fill the pot back to the brim. 

The crescent moon lunatics which used the hashtag #magical resistance, plan to gather a minute before midnight on Friday at Trump Tower in New York City. They are currently in the process of determining whose timepiece they will use to mark the exact moment to do their magic.

The famed "Egyptian Magician" will not be in attendance, nor will the Jerky Boys.

Michael M. Hughes, "an eclectic [eccentric] magician" who wrote the binding spell for the event, but has yet to win the New York State Lottery after years of trying, said he heard that folks from near and far want to participate. He has even received messages from South Africa, Portugal, Denmark, and of course, Mexico. 

Hughes believes the turnout for the magical event will reach in the thousands, but if he's counting on the Mexicans for a big turnout, Trump may have something to say about that.

Hughes said the ritual isn't a curse nor intends to harm the President or his administration, because he fully knows that if this were the case, his magic butt would be in jail. Instead, Hughes said, it's "a way of restraining him from doing further harm," and help others feel powerful against him.

Thus far, Mr. Trump's harm has come from his nominating Neil Gorsuch, a conservative justice to the Supreme Court; defending the Constitution by upholding the immigration laws; nominating and getting confirmed for his Cabinet: Betsy DeVoss, James Mattis, John F. Kelly and others with conservative views; and undoing former socialist President Obama's executive orders.

That isn't harm; it's what presidents of opposing parties do, just like they 'clean house' of past administration people in government jobs that presidents assign.

But I digress.

Hughes practices a boatload of magical traditions including Greco-Egyptian, folk, African-allied and contemporary rituals. He is also adept at finding coins in the ears of children.

Hughes said that he will come prepared with business cards. He does parties, Christenings and Bar Mitzvahs and his fees are quite affordable.

Let's face it--Hughes hopes to clean up after this event, unlike the dirtbags at the North Dakota pipeline protest.

All that money spent and nothing changed

According to a report just released by the Department of Education (DOE), the Obama administration gave over $7 BILLION in an education program first begun by Pres. George W. Bush, and it was found to have made the same difference on student achievement that it would have made if they just handed the Department of Education a bag of chips instead. 

Seven billion is the same as seven thousand million. It would take about 221 years to count that high by ones every second . . . that's a lot of time and a lot of chips. 

The DOE's findings were contained in the "School Improvement Grants: Implementation and Effectiveness" report and may spark the debate over national education policy as the Senate considers Betsy DeVos to head the department. She is an outspoken champion of school choice and had questioned the way federal education dollars are spent, and should be to her advantage in terms of her confirmation.

The School Improvement Grants (SIG) program was introduced under the G.W. Bush administration in 2001. Its purpose was to fund school reforms in the country's lowest-performing schools. Its goal was to improve student achievement in test scores and graduation rates. 

The program threw money at the schools with low academic achievement and graduation rates under 60 percent for high schools. SIG was canceled under recent legislation, but similar funding can still be sought by school districts who believe that if you do the same thing over and over and still get the same results, you just have to keep at it.

SIG was first funded in 2007 and got $616 million under Bush.

In 2009, under Obama, he designated $3.5 BILLION to the program and pumped over $500 million annually for the rest of his time in office trying to turn us into Europe. And the more money pumped in, the more nothing changed.

The DOE report focused on data from about 500 schools in 22 states receiving SIG money and concluded the program had "no significant impact" on reading or math test scores; high school graduation; or college enrollment.

Researchers of the study focused on districts with larger samples of schools, and these schools tended to be more urban and more disadvantaged. They decided to put as much money as possible into the program to make it work, "which led us to this dramatic report: what happened was what has always happened in the past," said then-Secretary Arne Duncan. 

So they knew it was a lost cause and proceeded anyway. 

DeVos believes charter schools need more funding and full autonomy. 

In cities like New York, charter schools do very well because they're not under the union thumb and principals can hire and fire based on ability and performance. Unions tend to protect the weakest link in the proverbial chain and "burnt-out" teachers abound.

But the best solution to the problem of school achievement begins at home: family values would change everything and single-parent families need to become the exception, not the norm.

Another woman for Cabinet post--liberals confused


Washington D.C. -- President-elect Donald J. Trump has chosen Betsy DeVos, 58, to become education secretary. She is a charter school advocate and GOP donor from Michigan.

Liberals tend to dislike charter schools, not because they more often score higher academically than public schools in the inner cities, but because they are not unionized and under-performing teachers are held accountable. Yet while they were all ready to jump on Trump's picks, they're at a "Betsy loss" for words, believing that he would select an all white male Cabinet.

DeVos is Trump's second woman to fill a spot in his Cabinet. Earlier Wednesday he named SC governor Nikki Haley as our US ambassador to the United Nations, a position currently held by uber leftist Semantha Power.

Both DeVos and Haley will need Senate confirmation.

Trump describes DeVos as "a brilliant and passionate education advocate," and is known for supporting charter schools and vouchers. Liberals hate the idea of school choice for families and would rather keep kids from urban ghettos in their ghetto schools where there are significantly lower expectations.

The one issue that DeVos stands for is the Common Core standards that Trump rallied against in his campaign, but with Trump as POTUS, it's a non-issue.

Ms. DeVos is a former Michigan Republican Party chairwoman. Her husband, Dick, is an heir to the Amway fortune and a former company president. He could make you rich if you bought into the company.
