I know people who live in a house assessed at over $1 million. They send their kids to a private school. In a couple years, they will get $7600 for each kid.

Heidi and I could not afford to send the boys to private school even with the $7600 each we would get. A thread. 1/7

Some argue that Pell grants are federal dollars for kids to go to private colleges, but they forget Pell grants are only available to the most high need students — not the kids living in the $1 million house. 2/7
And speaking of money, take a look at who funded the Governor’s commercial, look at the donors to her and GOP legislators, look at Corey DeAngelis landing in Des Moines last night before it was all over and posting pictures from the Senate chamber. 3/7
Proponents of this say it is about funding students not systems. But it actually is about a system: their system. 4/7
A system of lining pockets of the wealthy who will continue to give to them… of partnering with big money special interests… a system of continuing to marginalize people… while they all sit at the top watching public schools and people crumble. 5/7
Often, when you reach the top, there is cheering. But there is nothing to cheer about today. Not for the majority of our state. We’re sickened yet again. 6/7
But we cannot give up. Not on our work. Not on our kids. Not on our state.

Keep answering the call: love the children. 7/7

Funny, before the election I recall lefties muttering the caravan must have been a Trump setup because it made the open borders crowd look so bad. Why would the pro-migrant crowd engineer a crisis that played into Trump's hands? THIS is why. THESE are the "optics" they wanted.


This media manipulation effort was inspired by the success of the "kids in cages" freakout, a 100% Stalinist propaganda drive that required people to forget about Obama putting migrant children in cells. It worked, so now they want pics of Trump "gassing children on the border."

There's a heavy air of Pallywood around the whole thing as well. If the Palestinians can stage huge theatrical performances of victimhood with the willing cooperation of Western media, why shouldn't the migrant caravan organizers expect the same?

It's business as usual for Anarchy, Inc. - the worldwide shredding of national sovereignty to increase the power of transnational organizations and left-wing ideology. Many in the media are true believers. Others just cannot resist the narrative of "change" and "social justice."

The product sold by Anarchy, Inc. is victimhood. It always boils down to the same formula: once the existing order can be painted as oppressors and children as their victims, chaos wins and order loses. Look at the lefties shrieking in unison about "Trump gassing children" today.
