Randi Weingarten Quits... The DNC, Where She's Had a Post for 23 Years

Everyone's thinking the same thing: how did we not know that American Federation of Teachers president and childless non-teacher Randi Weingarten had a post at the DNC, and how many other villains are similarly ensconced?

Her resignation letter stated that she was increasingly "out-of-step" with DNC head Ken Martin: "I appear to be out of step with the leadership you are forging." You don't "forge" leadership. The head of a teachers union should probably know that.

She is angry that Martin isn't doing more, allegedly, to improve the Democrat Party's standing in "our communities."

@redsteeze

She was literally given the power to rewrite CDC policy by the Biden Administration so she could keep schools closed to negotiate higher union contracts.
Randi Winegarden is the number one villain of Covid.

I don't know about "number one villain" -- there's also Fauci and Daszak and Deborah Birx, and the grifters who wrote the "Proximal Origins" paper in exchange for Fauci's grants, and of course Andrew Cuomo and Gretchen Whitmer deliberately packed the nursing homes with contagious covid patients to kill the old people -- but she's definitely top ten.

Weingarten's AFT donated to the "No Kings" group and also spoke there. She really jiggled all of her chins and wattles.

🚨 | JUST IN: Randi Weingarten has RESIGNED from the DNC after 23 years of wrecking American education.

This is the same woman who kept your kids masked, locked classrooms, and turned schools into activist training camps.

The damage she caused won’t be forgotten but her exit is… pic.twitter.com/4KewGVU2lN

1. The border will never be truly closed. The ruling classes (marxists, commies, chamber of commerce, political parties, big city politicians, Big Retail (walmart, amazon), Big tech, Big Finance, Big Ag, Big Hospitality,.....) will never allow it. )

2. They will just keep going down the "special needs" path with more and more teachers teaching less and less to fewer and fewer.

Posted by: bob (moron incognitus) at June 16, 2025 01:59 PM (T1kZD)

70 Winegarden is also the reason teachers are being forced into larger class sizes due to the illegal alien invasion. They are also being forced into teaching students who can’t speak English. Oh, and she’s backing up stealing resources from your children for illegal aliens.

You might think that since this is detrimental to teachers and ultimately to the community they are supposed to serve and who pay teachers salaries, this would be an outrage.

Suspected killer Vance Boelter, already accused of assassinating Minnesota State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, is now ALSO accused of gruesomely killing the family’s beloved rescue dog during the same brutal attack.

The innocent pup was reportedly slaughtered in the chaos — a horrifying, needless act that speaks volumes about the monster behind this.

I've been thinking the Dem party fracturing was about 4 years away for about 9 years now.

It always requires one more major loss.

There's always going to be the come together moment again until it's obvious that Democrats either can't win or the base realizes that the Democrat leadership don't care about issues. It seems obvious to me that the latter has been true for a while.

I am confused about homosexuals and lesbians in Jewish circles. It seems to me that the Hebrew Bible condemns such things, in terms as strong as those in the New Testament. And yet, Jews are fine with that behavior. Not sure how that works, exactly.

I know for Catholics, the behavior is condemned, but the person is cherished. Sin is sin, and we all sin in one way or another. Persistence in sin is a real problem, and becomes scandal at some point, but it doesn't mean you don't stay Catholic.

There are remote controlled mowers with track drive that are used on landfill caps and other grassed hills and those suckers can maneuver as zero turn. They are a hoot to operate.

309 I know for Catholics, the behavior is condemned, but the person is cherished. Sin is sin, and we all sin in one way or another. Persistence in sin is a real problem, and becomes scandal at some point, but it doesn't mean you don't stay Catholic.

I suppose the Jewish stance could be similar?

No. Of course I'm referring to Torah observant ("Orthodox") Judaism. A person may be potentially "cherished" but that doesn't excuse them from abominable behavior and being ostracized by the community they belong to.

Posted by: Wally at June 16, 2025 02:37 PM (mBPs6)

Back in the day librarians did more than just keep little kids from reading books on dinosaurs. They did research of their own. This is what is done by a some of the workers in the Civil War Battlefield Historians. They read, share and preserve donated books and papers. No reason we couldn't require a lot of public librarians to do the same.

321 This is infuriating, KARE 11 covered the police news conference giving the timeline for Boelter's murderous activities.

After the first attack he went to a second politician, but they were not home so Boelter went to a third. Tht is when a female police officer, responding to the first attack, and going to check on this third politician saw Boelter in his car parked dressed as a cop. He refused to answer her.

Instead of immediately demanding they step out, this officer went to the house to wait for backup. Boelter then drove off and later murdered Hortman.

322 Actually Hitler would have been better off without Mussolini, who was a bungler of the first water. Hitler had to bail him out in North Africa and in Greece (IIRC), and Benny contributed bupkis to the Axis.

By having to shift resources to bail mussolini out of Greece mister hilter had to postpone the invasion of Russia by nearly two critical months. If operation barbarossa had kicked off in the spring it is very possible that the german army would have been able to overrun moscow and all of the factories and rail lines there well before winter kicked in.

doubtful. Army Group Center was stalled from about mid July in the Smolensk area due to supplies and serious Russian opposition. And the Kiev front had men there that needed to be dealt with as well, dissipating the effort. Ironically an earlier start might have made the disaster of the initial Typhoon attack less so due to the time given to find decent leadership. The frontage of the Germans swelled massively every mile they advanced.
