In Los Angeles Schools, Teacher Sexual Crimes Now Merit... Reassignment?

https://pjmedia.com/catherinesalgado/2026/05/06/in-los-angeles-schools-teacher-sexual-crimes-now-merit-reassignment-n4952555

In the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), with its United Teachers LA union, the apparent policy for dealing with despicable teacher or administrator sexual crimes against students is simply to reassign the offenders to new schools and new victims. No wonder the district has such a massive sexual misconduct problem.

The Department of Education (ED) is now investigating LAUSD after uncovering some profoundly disquieting rules from the district's union, UTLA, which explain how and why to reassign union members accused of sexual misconduct or outright pedophilic sex relationships and porn. Over the last year or so, LAUSD has had to borrow $750 million to settle sexual misconduct cases. The FBI raided LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho's home in February during the height of the controversy about the sexual misconduct scandal; Carvalho also reportedly came to the USA as an illegal alien.

Did you, an LAUSD teacher, distribute sex videos to students? Did you fail to report child abuse? Did you commit fraud or sexual harassment? Are you sleeping with a minor student? Are you facing felony charges? Did you create or sell child pornography? Don't worry, UTLA has a one-size-fits-all solution — no matter which one of those crimes you committed or anything in between, you're just getting reassigned to a different school and a different pool of potential victims. No job termination involved.

These are the same sort of union officials and educrats whose arguments against homeschooling is that abusers - physical and sexual - are shielded from detection and consequences. Accountability for thee but not for me.

More Information About the Man Shot Near the White House

https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2026/05/06/more-information-about-the-man-shot-near-the-white-house-n3814666

On Monday afternoon, a man was shot by the Secret Service on the National Mall near the Washington Monument. There was eventually a press briefing by the Secret Service and we learned that the man had been spotted by a plain-clothes agent patrolling the outer perimeter of the White House. That agent had identified a gun and called in cars with uniformed secret service agents.

None of what happened was captured on video but allegedly the man with the gun saw he was being followed by cops and ran. He also pulled his weapon and fired at the Secret Service. They fired back and he was struck more than once. He was arrested and taken to a hospital. In the crossfire, a 15-year-old bystander was also hit but his injuries were not life-threatening.
...
Today we're learning a bit more from U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro about the suspect, including his name. Also, the shooter said some things in the ambulance on the way to the hospital that might be revealing.

Quote
"One of the things that he said on the way to the hospital was, 'F the White House,' and 'Kill me, kill me, kill me' -- three times," Pirro said in an exclusive interview with ABC News' Chief Justice Correspondent Pierre Thomas on Tuesday. "But he was very clear, 'F the White House.'"...

Pirro said she intends to charge the suspect, whom she identified as Michael Marx, with assault against a federal officer.

The 45-year-old suspect has a Texas driver's license and no obvious connection to Washington, and authorities are working to learn why he was in the city, according to multiple law enforcement sources.

Ironic family name.

WTF is this moron talking about

All I can find are articles claiming the similarities to Obama's deal are in a one page memo of understanding, but no one is actually providing details of those parts.  They will provide details that the memo calls for a complete stop of all uranium enrichment for 12-15 years, which would be extended if any violations occur, and that any highly enriched uranium is to be removed from the country.   MSN link

Frankly, with those two provisions, it doesn't really matter what else is in the agreement, Iran isn't going to agree to it, based on past performance.

As usual, some DUmmies are lying, and some are ignorantly parroting lies:

CDC continuing cruise ship inspections despite staffing cuts

April 16 (UPI) -- The federal government's Vessel Sanitation Program continues its health inspections of cruise ships despite recent staff reductions at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"This work has not stopped as the VSP is primarily staffed by [U.S. Public Health Service officers]," a CDC spokesperson told Food Safety News.

Those commissioned officers were not among those who were released from the CDC amid the Trump administration's reduction of the federal workforce.

The inspections are being carried out by half the number of inspectors, though, Food Safety News reported on Wednesday.

1. Is there context to this? I haven't heard of Trump or Musk talking about "family values" (plus or minus an reference to an Addams Family movie).

2. Own and clean up your own Swillwell scandal, throupling, and your decades-long legacy/tradition of mistressing for Willie the Magnificent, waitress-sandwiching, and worship of Teddy the Snorkel and his horndog brothers (just off the top of my not-yet-caffeinated mind).

As the rest of many folks' favorite Bible verse says:

Quote
“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

A Facebook post by an ex-KGB agent claiming that Donald Trump was recruited by Moscow in 1987 under the code name "Krasnov" has sent social media into a spin.

Russia, Russia all over again! Those folks sure are gullible :thatsright: :mental: :loser:!
