The best article I’ve found explaining the quarter-century march of CRT through American K-12 education.

Nicholas Sandman demonized by EVERYONE in the MSM and on the left simply for smiling in an awkward situation. I looked at him and all I could see was my beautiful son in ten years. Still makes me angry just thinking about it. His poor mama.💔
Too many times during Trump’s presidency I had to turn off the news, look my little boys in the eye, and say: “Mommy supports his policies. I think they’re helping America. But it is NOT ok to say/do that. NOT ok. I expect more/better from you.”
I won’t do that again.

Folks, I've already talked to lean-Haley supporters who, given what they've learned about her in the past 24hrs, are now leaning DeSantis!
It's happening.

The more I learn about

, the less I like her.
Before Covid, she was my pick to succeed Trump. Then Covid hit and DeSantis handled it—and corporatism, woke ideology, etc.—better than anyone.
Still I thought she’d be a good VP pick for DeSantis.
Now, not so much.🤦🏼♀️
NEW: Nikki Haley asserts that allowing people to post on social media anonymously is a "national security threat". She promises that as president, she will force "every person on social media" to be "verified by their name."

Yes, JoJo, there really is CRT in K-12. It’s called PRAXIS. They’re teaching the teachers and the teachers are PRACTICING it on our kids. Not only did I work towards a masters in sec. ed., I also worked in a school of ed. Believe me, it’s in there.
SO. INCREDIBLY. DISGUSTING.
Hookers and golden showers. This is what he's talking about campaigning for the presidency of the United States. If the GOP nominates him--when we have an amazing candidate in DeSantis--I may finally have to part ways w my party.💔
@OregonWolfman
For years, neocon Republicans told us the same thing when they nominated their corporatist candidates and expected us to fall in line.
No.
What did that give us? Trump. A liberal conman who’s completely transformed a once conservative party into a punchline.
This is why debates matter.
The RNC is derelict in its duty by not requiring that ALL the candidates who want to be the GOP nominee show up and debate. They can’t do it. They won’t. We just saw a masterclass in why…
DeSantis would crush Trump.

The term “Republican” used to mean something too. Coincidentally, now it means whatever a NY Democrat says it means.

Exactly!! “Sanctuary City” is a nice label when you don’t have to actually give sanctuary to anyone. But when it involves actually providing services… Dems deflect and take a walk. Time and time again, Dems are great at sloganeering, bad at governing. Make it stop.🤦🏼♀️
A-MEN!
I’m so sick of the “he should’ve waited his turn” bs.
Most candidates who lose the presidency concede gracefully then slink away. AS. THEY. SHOULD!
And Trump not only lost, he lost to a dementia patient who hid in his basement. Trump should be embarrassed, NOT entitled.
They say DeSantis should wait his turn.
Why should Trump get 3 turns before DeSantis gets 1?
And if Trump wants a 4th turn after a loss, would he be entitled to that too?
That’s not how this works.
When I'm hoping for an outcome, I visualize the result I want and feel the feelings I'd feel.
Naturally, as a speechwriter, I've envisioned the victory speech I'd write:
"Tonight, our movement to reclaim this country for liberty began right here in IA..."

I was looking for RDS to be more comfortable on stage and to humanize himself and the voters. He did that right away and consistently. I also wanted him to call out Haley on her China coziness. He did exactly that. So I’m thrilled!

Wake up Republicans and Independents. This is dictator level shiit. Remember when he was President and he had Fauci silencing critics? It’s the exact same energy. He doesn’t want people to know that the emperor has no clothes. He doesn’t want actual votes to happen. Why?
This is what I've said.
Trump. Already. Lost.
All these people who rattle off his record seem to forget that didn't matter enough to earn him re-election. Since then, he's only hemorrhaged support.
50% in IA as a virtual incumbent? That's not a landslide. It's a death rattle.
In 1980, Jimmy Carter, in the same position as Trump (the virtual incumbent), won Iowa by 60% against Teddy Kennedy - but still went on to lose the general election.
Trump barely got 50% in Iowa.

You could likely unearth a terrible quote or two for any "great" historical figure. The notion that somehow people in every era of history should think and behave exactly as we think and behave is beyond hubris, it's madness.
"Joseph Stalin was a great man; few other men of the 20th century approach his stature. He was simple, calm and courageous. But also he knew the common man, felt his problems, followed his fate."

Today I heard perhaps the most compelling argument against Trump:
The Uniparty Establishment doesn’t fear him bc they know how to manipulate him—w fawning.
Trump has shown he’ll do and say absolutely anything for praise. Can anyone argue it?
In case you’re wondering why I won’t unite behind that man…
I admire DeSantis tremendously. He’s perhaps the best conservative governor in my lifetime. I want him to be POTUS someday, sooner rather than later.
So will I support a man who wants to take him down? No. Way.

🚨For those giving speeches on caucus night, some advice from a former speechwriter and speech coach:
1. Keep. It. Brief.
2. Go right for the jugular w your 1st line.
3. Keep your 2nd best pitch for your closing.
4. Write it out and cut excess words.
5. Leave them wanting more.
Here's the deal w Nikki Haley:
Republican voters seem content to live on a pendulum that swings wildly between ordered corporatism and chaotic populism.
For too long the narrative was that these C-Suite-type R candidates may not represent the GOP base, but they're moderate 1/5
I really don’t get this Nikki Haley thing.
She objectively a terrible candidate who offers nothing to conservatives. She’s also been bad in 2 debates and horrible in 1.
Where is that support in the polls coming from? Who is her base?
Not gonna lie. Tonight hurts.
But let’s get a good night sleep and take some time to process.
Because the battle has just begun.

The enforced covering of faces is dehumanizing. And the enforced covering of faces for scant little medical effect when there are SO many ill effects for the hearing/speech impaired, for infants, in particular, and development, in general, is dehumanizing AND sinister.
Friends, my mom’s a widow. She keeps 1 of 2 things on in the house, so she doesn’t feel so alone: inspirational music or Fox News.
She had no idea that Fox is now owned by Murdoch’s lib Dem son. No idea how much they’re slanting coverage for Trump/Haley.
