Randi Weingarten oldly Solves Illiteracy By Boycotting Target For Not Stopping ICE

"Do you want a piecw of me?"

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a visionary move to tackle the nation’s skyrocketing math and reading failure rates, American Federation of Teachers President Randi "Spike" Weingarten has announced a nationwide back-to-school boycott against Target. 

The retail giant’s unforgivable crime: failing to personally disband federal immigration enforcement.

With national report card scores continuing to circle the bowl, and teachers spending an average of $895 of their own money on basic classroom supplies,  comrade Weingarten confirmed that the union’s top priority remains foreign policy, corporate geopolitical statements, and geopolitical supply line regulation, as opposed to the education of the kids.

"We gave Target ample time to stand with the communities in which they operate and help their neighbors, but its silence about federal immigration abuses has been deafening," Weingarten bloviated in a statement, heroically pivoting from the fact that less than half of California students can read at grade level.

"The issue could not be more pressing: Seven months since the murders of Alex Pretti and Renée Good, masked ICE agents are still in our streets, our schools and our communities, terrorizing families in the name of Donald Trump’s illegal and immoral assault on immigrants striving for their American Dream," she continued. "That’s why we’re urging our members to avoid Target and patronize more ethical shopping alternatives this back-to-school season."

To assist confused parents who mistakenly thought a teachers' union was supposed to focus on teaching children how to spell, Weingarten launched the "Shop Smart, Not Target" map to direct families to approved, socially conscious alternative stores.

In response, federal authorities expressed confusion over why a public school labor organization was demanding a retail store act as a sovereign sanctuary zone.

"ICE enforces federal immigration laws, protects public safety, and conducts enforcement pursuant to federal laws and applicable agency policies. Target is not a sensitive location," an ICE spokesperson said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "However, the current policy provides guidance for officers and recognizes that enforcement actions in or near protected areas require consideration of the circumstances and applicable law. ICE will continue to conduct lawful actions wherever necessary to protect the American people."

The spokesperson also dismissed union claims that federal agents were hunting middle schoolers between fifth and sixth period as pure fiction.

"This is just another false narrative to try and demonize our brave ICE law enforcement, who are facing a 1,300% increase in assaults against them and an 8,000% increase in death threats," the spokesperson said.

"ICE is not going to schools to arrest children—we are protecting children. Criminals are no longer able to hide in America’s schools to avoid arrest. The Trump Administration will not tie the hands of our brave law enforcement and instead trusts them to use common sense. If a dangerous illegal alien felon were to flee into a school, or a child sex offender is working as an employee, there may be a situation where an arrest is made to protect public safety," they added.

"ICE’s position remains straightforward: its officers enforce the immigration laws enacted by Congress and carry out the agency’s mission to protect national security and public safety. ICE is engaged in targeted law enforcement operations to apprehend and remove aliens in the country unlawfully and will continue to do so despite grandstanding by politicians and criminal illegal alien supporters," the spokesperson told Fox News Digital. "Aliens placed into removal proceedings receive due process. Once it is exhausted, ICE carries out the removal order. Dangerous rhetoric from politicians and activists demonizing our brave ICE officers has led to the over 8,000% increase in threats against DHS law enforcement who are heroically performing their congressionally mandated mission to remove criminal illegal aliens from communities across the country."

Meanwhile, economic experts pointed out the ironic masterstroke of the AFT using its members’ funds to attack a company they literally own.

"This partisan war on Target smells like a breach of fiduciary duty given that AFT members’ pension funds own 6.79 million shares of Target stock, which Weingarten has already leveraged to pressure the company into opposing ICE," said Corey DeAngelis, a Heritage Foundation research fellow. "The Department of Justice should open an investigation into the AFT using their pension funds and political influence to bully companies into falling in line with their socialist agenda."

"Urging educators and families to avoid Target is not an appropriate use of the union’s resources or influence," DeAngelis added, without calling Weingarten a dolt.

Local education advocates also questioned whether boycotting aisles of notebooks and #2 pencils would magically teach children fractions.

"Teachers’ unions are supposed to fight for teachers. Instead, union leadership has become a political machine obsessed with money, power and influence while our children continue to fall behind," said Sonja Shaw, a candidate for California superintendent of public instruction and Chino Valley Unified School District board president. "In California, more than half our students are not proficient in basic reading and math. When a system produces those results year after year, that isn’t success. That’s education malpractice."

At press time, Weingarten was seen drafting a new resolution demanding Target pledge allegiance to union-approved history curricula, while union members quietly wondered if anyone was ever going to teach their kids how to read.

She is also the so called union leader who refused to allow school children to return to school during the COVID debacle. [It's rumored that she has a spicy photo of Anthony Fauci in her bathroom.]

Sleepy Joe's Preemptive Pardon of Fauci Won't Cover Any Fresh Lies to Congress, Comer Warns

House Republicans are calling for a rare dose of accountability ahead of Dr. Anthony "Tony" Fauci's Senate hearing Wednesday, a development that has left the nation's most celebrated public health celebrity scrambling to update his memoir title from "I Am Science" to "I Am Science, Your Honor.

"Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), condemns Dr. Anthony Fauci as a 'megalomaniac' and 'infamous villain' following the release of his private diary entries. Johnson alleges Fauci knowingly funded gain-of-function research, contradicted himself on COVID-19's origin, pushed experimental vaccines over early treatments, and oversaw devastating lockdown policies.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY), is warning Fauci that his presidential pardon has limits ahead of the former public health official's high-profile day on Capitol Hill. 

Fauci is set to testify before a GOP-led Senate panel on Wednesday, days after hundreds of pages of his COVID-19 pandemic-era diary entries were made public, revealing a man who spent more time polishing his halo than tracking where the virus came from. "We now know why President Biden gave a blanket pardon to Dr. Fauci. While obsessing about his own fame, Dr. Fauci wasn't truthful with the American people about the origins of COVID and advised schools to be closed," Comer told Fox News Digital."

Americans are still reaping the consequences of Dr. Fauci's actions. 

Biden's pardon doesn't cover Dr. Fauci's testimony this week and if he continues to lie, he must be held accountable. "Fauci was among several recipients of controversial "preemptive pardons" by former President Joe Biden made during the final hours of the Democratic administration. The pardon covers any offenses from January 1, 2014, through its issue date, or anything related "to his service as Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, as a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force or the White House COVID-19 Response Team, or as Chief Medical Advisor to the President.

"Because the pardon covers conduct during his government service, there will likely be some debate over whether it would protect him from liability stemming from his testimony. Legal experts on the left are already preparing arguments that "lying under oath" somehow counts as essential pandemic response work. But other House Republicans are also accusing Fauci of behaving in a way that hurts public trust in U.S. health, including the co-chairs of the House GOP Doctors' Caucus, both of whom are physicians themselves and therefore apparently qualified to notice when someone treats science like a choose-your-own-adventure book.

"Dr. Fauci, who never met a mirror he didn't love, put politics above science during the pandemic. He is primarily responsible for the resulting multi-generational erosion of trust in American medicine," 

Rep. Greg Murphy (R-NC), told Fox News Digital. "A perfect example of ego destroying whatever achievements he had prior to the pandemic."Rep. John Joyce, R-Pa., told Fox News Digital that Fauci "must be held accountable" by the House as well as the Senate."The release of Dr. Fauci's diary entries validates what many Americans suspected all along: he was not honest about the origins of COVID-19," Joyce said. 

"His fixation on preserving his own image and maintaining a position of power eroded public trust, undermined the integrity of our public health institutions, and failed the American people." Diary entries made public by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), a medical doctor and longtime Fauci critic and chair of the committee before which Fauci is appearing on Wednesday, show the high-profile doctor reflecting on his pandemic-era fame and raising questions about the disease's origins, mostly while admiring how well the lighting hit his face during television interviews.

Some entries appear to show Fauci taking credit for influencing policies that closed schools during the pandemic, something that has become one of the most hotly debated aspects of how the government handled COVID. But he lied and told the House Oversight Committee in January 2024, "I did not close the schools." 

Historians are now racing to determine which version of Fauci will appear under oath this week: the one who shut down childhood or the one who merely suggested it while looking very concerned on cable news. 

Fauci has long denied any wrongdoing and instead has argued that he's been made a political target by people on the right who are critical of how governments handled COVID-19, a defense that works best when delivered from behind a presidential pardon and a wall of media flattery.

Fauci's Pandemic Memoirs Read Like a Hollywood Audition With a Side of Public Health

While Americans were wiping down groceries, homeschooling kids, closing businesses, canceling funerals, and wondering whether standing six feet apart from grandma was enough to survive the apocalypse, Dr. Anthony Fauci apparently had another pressing concern.

His fan mail.

Newly released private diary entries, published ahead of Fauci's Senate testimony after being subpoenaed by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), paint the portrait of a man who seemed just as fascinated by his exploding celebrity status as by the virus consuming the world.

Instead of reading like the journal of a wartime physician carrying the weight of a global pandemic, the entries tend to resemble the diary of an aspiring influencer who suddenly found himself trending.

"Press still hot and heavy about me," Fauci wrote on April 7, 2020. "Multiple stories per day directly or indirectly involving me."

What a dork.

At the time, thousands of Americans had already died, hospitals were scrambling for supplies, and families were saying goodbye to loved ones over FaceTime. Fauci, meanwhile, appeared to be tracking media mentions like they were stock prices. [Dud I mention he's a dork?]

By May, the self appreciation had only intensified.

"Big front page article abut me appeared in the Washington Post. Very flattering. The situation with my national and international fame is explosive and really unimaginable. It is not hyperbole to say that today I am the most famous and talked about person in the country and one of the most recognizable person in the world," Fauci wrote as he looked in his full-body mirror.

Not content to stop there, he added, "Countless profiles on me in multiple media. I cannot even read all the things that are written about me since I am so busy … seriously. POTUS seems to be enamored of me even though I am taking the spotlight away from him. We are developing a very unique and interesting relationship."

Look at me--I'm Mister Cool

So, while the globe is suffering from a raging pandemic, our humble servant is depicting himself as one of the most recognizable people on Earth.

The diaries also suggest Fauci viewed television appearances less as an opportunity to inform the public than as oxygen.

After complaining that White House officials were limiting his media access, he proudly recorded a conversation with then Vice President Mike Pence.

"I told him that I am being blocked from TV and I needed to get on TV to give the 'risk reduction' message and that I would avoid being pitted against him or the POTUS merely by not playing that game," Fauci wrote. "He did promise that he would get me out there on TV since he really liked my message. First time anyone ever spoke that way to VP. He truly likes me a lot (and vice versa)."

Dork.

Apparently, flattening the curve was important. Keeping Fauci off cable news was the real emergency. The people needed him; the world needs him.

At another point, Fauci admitted privately that the administration's contact tracing strategy was a "f*cking disaster and an abject failure."

Then, almost seamlessly, he noted he had been invited to appear on "Dancing With The Stars."

It's obvious that when the nation's pandemic response is collapsing, your next thought is ballroom choreography.

The celebrity obsession did not end with television.

The diaries feature a cast list worthy of the Oscars. Julia Roberts hosted him on Instagram Live, sent him flowers, and presented him with an award. Vogue editor Anna Wintour, comedian Trevor Noah, NBA star Steph Curry, actors Sean Penn and Matt Damon, rapper Lil Wayne, billionaire Larry Ellison, and numerous media personalities all wandered through Fauci's journal.

CNN's Jake Tapper appears repeatedly through calls, dinners, and text messages. Dana Bash congratulated Fauci after his exchange with Rep. Jim Jordan, even telling him that Wolf Blitzer joked nobody would have blamed him if he had told Jordan to "go f--k yourself."

When journalist Peter Nicholas suggested Fauci had been "humiliated" over a canceled CNN appearance, Fauci's diary recorded his response in two concise words.

"F--- you, Peter."

Apparently, social distancing did not apply to grudges [nor to certain state governors].

The journals also reveal Fauci becoming increasingly irritated with White House officials who threatened to reduce his television appearances. Mark Meadows allegedly argued with him over messaging, while Fauci praised communications director Alyssa Farah for helping restore his media bookings. He described Michael Caputo as "a con man who is completely full of sh-t."

His relationship with President Trump, however, began warmly. Fauci recalled Trump calling him "the smartest person in the world," telling him, "We are counting on you," and appearing "enamored" with him before the relationship later deteriorated after more information came forward.

Perhaps the most unintentionally revealing entries involve Fauci marveling that Secret Service agents no longer bothered checking his credentials because they recognized him. That made him a bit moist.

"Everyone is worried about my health and welfare, probably because it is all over the place that I am almost 80 years old," he wrote.

Some people measure success by lives saved; Fauci measured it by the number of his tv appearances and whether security waves them through the front gate by recognizing him.

The diaries conclude with yet another celebrity cameo. At the 2022 Kennedy Center Honors, Fauci hugged Hunter Biden, who joked the internet "would explode" if someone photographed them together because they were both "being attacked by the far right GOP."

One almost expects the next page to include an acceptance speech thanking his agent, his stylist, and everyone who made his rise from bureaucrat to pandemic superstar possible.

Rand Paul argues the journals reveal a public official more concerned with his personal brand than the crisis facing the country. After months of negotiations broke down, Paul subpoenaed Fauci to testify before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

"He’s been slow-walking information to us for six months or more," Paul said. "We’ve been negotiating over the date for several months. He agreed, then he said he wouldn’t. So, I think it’s time that we bring him in."

The American people spent the pandemic wondering whether the science was settled.

The diary suggests at least one thing certainly was.

Anthony Fauci never missed an opportunity to check whether the spotlight was still shining on Anthony Fauci.

What a dork!

Hawaii Democrat Politicians Finally Busted For Treating COVID Cash Like Personal Piggy Bank

Sylvia Luke

UPDATE: Gov. Green Urges Lt. Gov. Sylvia Luke To Quit So State Can Pretend This Never Happened While Prosecutors Name Former Rep Ryan Yamane The Biggest Crook In The Bunch

A grand jury just handed down indictments against Democratic Hawaii Lt. Gov. Sylvia Luke, former state Rep. Ryan Yamane, local businessman Tobi Solidum and a supporting cast of Democrat characters, charging one of the state's highest ranking officials with the kind of corruption that makes regular taxpayers wonder why they bother voting at all.The charges read like a greatest hits album of political greed:

Sylvia Luke faces criminal conspiracy to commit bribery, bribery by a public servant and falsifying candidate committee reports.

Ryan Yamane faces criminal conspiracy to commit bribery and bribery.
Tobi Solidum faces conspiracy to commit bribery and three counts of bribery upon a public servant.

Ford Fuchigami faces criminal conspiracy to commit bribery, use of false statements or entries and obstruction of justice.

Leo Asunción faces falsifying candidate committee reports, use of false statements or entries and obstruction of justice.

These felony surprises arrived Friday afternoon courtesy of the Attorney General’s probe into an “influential” lawmaker who federal prosecutors claim pocketed $35,000 from a federal bribery suspect back in 2022, a mystery that has entertained Hawaii for over a year. The new charges mark yet another high note in a political scandal that already sent two of Luke’s old colleagues to prison.

The written indictment carefully avoids saying anyone actually handed over $35,000 in cash but strongly hints that Solidum, a businessman hungry as a wolf for government money to fund COVID testing, promised Luke $35,000 as the first half of a cool $70,000 total during a January 20, 2022 dinner at Morton’s Steakhouse. They also chatted about union support for her campaign. “By next week we’ll have 35, so it will be halfway to our 70,” Solidum told Luke, according to the indictment.

Ryan Yamane 

This represents a dramatic plot twist for Luke, who before becoming lieutenant governor spent more than two decades as a state representative including a decade as chair of the House Finance Committee. In that role she ruled the state budget with an iron fist and built a reputation for following every rule and making sure everyone else did too. Apparently the iron fist got a little rusty once the steaks arrived.

Yamane allegedly collected thousands from Solidum while working hard to lock down funds for those COVID testing contracts. In one text message Solidum told Yamane: “have 1500 and wanted to pick up another 1k here. Mel will leave cash in Manila for you. If we’re looking at the most culpable individual factually, we believe that is Ryan Yamane,” Deputy Attorney General David Van Acker announced in court.

Solidum also supposedly slipped money to Fuchigami including a $7,000 check on January 30, 2022 while Fuchigami worked for the Senate Ways and Means Committee. Two days later the pair plus Yamane sat down to talk emergency appropriations for the health department. Van Acker asked the court to set Luke’s bail at $100,000 given the seriousness of the claims even while admitting she was no flight risk. The judge cut it to $80,000.

Luke turned herself in Friday evening and posted bail like a true public servant. Democrat Gov. Josh Green had been pushing Attorney General Anne Lopez for weeks to finish the investigation yesterday. He also worked overtime to put distance between himself and Luke, even canceling a planned trip to Washington, D.C. in February so he would not have to leave the state under her watch.

On Friday afternoon he called for Luke, already on administrative leave, to resign. “The Lieutenant Governor needs to consider formally resigning to address this matter and so that the state of Hawaii can move forward,” he said.

Yamane had served as Green’s director of the Department of Human Services until he suddenly quit once the investigation started breathing down his neck. Solidum is a local businessman, lobbyist and longtime consultant to the National Kidney Foundation of Hawaii. In that position he helped steer tens of millions of dollars in COVID testing contracts during the pandemic including a mobile test site at the Honolulu airport. Court records show his consulting business collected more than $7 million for that work which overcharged the state for tests while an entity linked to his stepdaughter Kristen Pae received a $1 million dividend.

Prosecutors asked Judge Ronald Johnson for a no bail warrant for Solidum which was granted. They claim he left the country in 2025 and now lives in the Philippines after selling off real estate and moving large amounts of money offshore.

Asunción is a former chair of the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission who quit that job last year. He also served as Luke’s campaign treasurer. Fuchigami was appointed by Green in 2023 as deputy director of the Hawaii Department of Transportation airports division and currently serves as airports administrator. From 2019 into 2021 he held DOT positions that gave him power over COVID relief funds and contracts. Later he worked as budget chief for Sen. Donovan Dela Cruz on the Senate money committee.

Eye witnesses say Fuchigami and Solidum regularly attended secret fundraising parties that mixed state officials including airport staff with contractors eager for state business.

Businessman Milton Choy, his relatives and Solidum poured more than $34,000 into those events according to data gathered by the New York Times and Civil Beat. In 2015 Luke herself was among the politicians who walked away richer from similar gatherings. Friday’s charges grew from a document first made public by Civil Beat last year that detailed the alleged $35,000 deal. The document explained how Rep. Ty Cullen, Luke’s former vice chair on the House Finance Committee, cooperated with the FBI after his own bribery arrest and described a bribery suspect delivering $35,000 to an “influential” lawmaker for campaign help.

The state opened its investigation under heavy public pressure on Lopez after she first refused because the feds already had the case. She changed her mind in January. At a short press conference Friday Lopez praised her office’s Special Investigation and Prosecution Division created by the Legislature in 2022 to chase corruption, fraud, white collar crime and human trafficking. “From the outset of this investigation, I have repeated that we have a commitment to following the facts to where they lead, no matter how long it takes to get there,” Lopez said. The division “has been working tremendously hard over the last six months to get us here.” She took no questions. U.S. Attorney Ken Sorenson claimed last year the $35,000 arrived in a paper bag but the indictment never mentions any bag or that amount actually changing hands.

Asked about the difference Attorney General spokeswoman Toni Schwartz replied: “The indictment has the information we can release at this time.” The 30 page indictment covers February 2020 to April 2022. It details how Solidum wrote a check to Fuchigami to sway budget decisions in 2022 and handed cash and checks to Yamane in 2020. It states Luke agreed to take the $70,000 Solidum promised “with the intent to use the power of her elected position” to fund COVID testing by the National Kidney Foundation of Hawaii. Those sums from one source blow past Hawaii’s individual contribution limits.

Solidum may have planned to gather the money from other people in the classic bundling move that lets donors buy influence without breaking the letter of the law. In the same talk he mentioned a fundraiser, the usual stage for that kind of cash collection. In early 2022 Solidum was chasing more state money to keep the expensive community testing sites of the National Kidney Foundation of Hawaii running. He told Cullen a couple days earlier at the Elk’s Club in Waikīkī that “he was out ‘like $11,000,000,’” according to the indictment. Solidum wanted an emergency appropriation and invited Cullen to dinner with Luke at Morton’s.

Luke was “running for LG now,” Solidum said. “All I gotta do is give her more money.” On January 20, 2022 Cullen ate dinner with Luke, Solidum and Solidum’s stepdaughter Kristen Pae in a private room at Morton’s Steakhouse in Ala Moana Shopping Center while secretly recording for the FBI.

Pae handed Luke two $5,000 checks from her and Solidum written to the campaign. Luke took the money but waited years to report the $10,000 in contributions until Civil Beat asked about them. She has insisted she never accepted $35,000 from any single person. Earlier this year Luke claimed she tried to return the money after Cullen’s arrest because she felt “uncomfortable” keeping it. She has since confessed to multiple campaign finance mistakes and the Hawaii Campaign Spending Commission found even more. At that January 20 meeting Solidum told Luke $70,000 was “what we committed so we gonna follow through that commitment,” according to the indictment. He also hinted at lining up labor union support for her.

Solidum then asked Luke to lean on the state Disease Outbreak and Control Division under the health department to free up more money for the mobile testing labs. The next day Luke had Rep. Linda Ichiyama, who chaired a House committee on the pandemic response, set up a meeting about emergency appropriations. At the January 25 meeting Luke talked about sending emergency money to the health department so it could pay for more COVID testing. Later that month on January 30 Solidum wrote the $7,000 check to Fuchigami who then worked for the Senate Ways and Means Committee. They met days later to discuss the emergency appropriation.

The bill that pushed funding for the COVID testing and that Luke and other lawmakers approved was introduced by Yamane. Yamane and Solidum had been texting for a couple years already.

In a February 18, 2020 exchange Solidum said he wanted to give Yamane money that included multiple checks and cash. They met later that day near a parking spot that looks like the basement of the State Capitol. The indictment lists many other times Solidum arranged payments to Yamane including an August 2021 event hosted by Yamane. In November that year Yamane shared information with Solidum about a rival COVID company. In February 2022 Yamane sought amendments to a bill that added funds for the testing sites. They also texted on February 8, 2022 about Cullen and English being charged by the feds. “Might not be good to be seen with me,” Yamane wrote.

Prosecutors further claim Fuchigami lied when he said he never received money from Solidum.

David Van Acker i

The indictments came after a day of grand jury testimony that started Friday morning as high profile witnesses walked in with their lawyers. Cullen, free from federal prison in 2024 after 11 months on bribery charges, showed up early with attorney Birney Bervar and said nothing on the way out. Other witnesses included Tony Baldomero from the Hawaii Campaign Spending Commission, Pae with heavyweight defense attorney Tommy Otake, and Cathy Ross of the Hawaii Department of Health with attorney Eric Seitz.

Ross is a former deputy health director whose division handled procurement and contracts. As of February she still worked for the state as a human resource specialist. The health department ultimately handed millions in COVID testing contracts to the National Kidney Foundation of Hawaii while the City and County of Honolulu did the same to keep the mobile labs going.

Solidum arranged those contracts. The kidney nonprofit then sold overpriced COVID tests to Hawaii residents for as much as $166 each when the national median was $62 for insured patients. Solidum has ignored every attempt by Civil Beat to reach him. Over the life of the Kidney Foundation testing program Solidum’s company GeoPolicy Development Group collected more than $7 million in consulting fees from the foundation’s for profit subcontractor Capture Diagnostics. An entity tied to Solidum also received a $1 million dividend for investing in Capture Diagnostics according to court records. Soon afterward trusts linked to his stepdaughter bought million dollar properties in Kakaʻako and Kāneʻohe. In the end Hawaii’s political class has once again reminded everyone that when public servants gather around a steak dinner the public usually ends up paying the bill. This is particularly true when the Democrats are dining on the steaks.
