Barry Jackson on “Teaching to the Test”

Barry Jackson, who tutors children in the East Valley, sent the following letter to Betsy Devos, United States Secretary of Education. 

Dear Secretary DeVos:

For several months I have been tutoring a student whose school seems to spend an inordinate amount of time preparing students for standardized tests. First it was two days "reviewing" for a Galileo test. Now she says "we are not doing anything" but preparing for another standardized test, and this is taking several days. Along with "fall break"(two weeks) and "early release" Wednesdays, it is at least even money that she is learning more from me in one hour than she receives in a week in school.

Claims About Frank Riggs’ “Environmental Record” Are Flatly Wrong and Very Misleading

At a recent Legislative District meeting, an opponent of Frank Riggs, who is also running for Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction, asserted that two bills co-sponsored by former Congressman Riggs "…crippled the logging industry" and "crippled the fishing industry."  The fact is that Congressman Riggs did exactly the opposite!  His bills helped those industries!  He was one of the strongest supporters in Congress of the resource-based industries and private property rights.  Because of his opposition to the extreme environmental movement, eco-terrorists targeted Riggs and even rampaged through his office vandalizing it and dragging in a tree stump and chaining themselves to it.

Here is the Truth, as stated by Candidate Riggs:

Screwdrivers Murder!!!

by Roy Carnine
retired trial attorney
Mount Vernon, Illinois
(Anita Christy’s brother)

Shame on the main stream media (i.e., Committing Broadcast Scare aka CBS, National Bull Crap aka NBC and About Bull Crap aka ABC) ) and our elected representatives for not bringing to the nation’s attention frightening facts concerning screwdrivers! 

While firearms are number 1 in The 10 Most Common Murder Weapons In The United States, screwdrivers are included in the number 2 position. And, in other western countries, like Canada, death by knives and cutting instruments (including screwdrivers) are the most prominent weapons used to murder.  See Knives Most Common Weapon in Violent Crime  and Homicide in Canada: 2015.

GCRC Chairman Morris’s Report on the Trump Rally and the KMOG Forum Radio Show

Gary Morris, Chairman of the Gila County Republican Committee, provided the following "Report on the Trump Rally and the KMOG Forum Radio Show."

I attended President Trump’s Rally in Phoenix last evening (August 22,2017), and here’s a brief report. First, the “fake media” last night and this morning were describing the event as “lightly attended”. When I arrived at the convention center at 4 PM center there was a line going two blocks up the street, around the corner and up the street to the next corner, and then turning back two blocks on the next street towards the convention center entrance. The line was three to four persons wide. And I’m sure that line lengthened as more people arrived over the next three hours or so.

By chance, once I arrived in the hall holding the event, I was selected to be on stage directly behind the President (that was sweet). I was assigned to row 6 in the middle. The TV cameras went up to row 4 so I was off screen except for when the camera went wide. As you will note from the photo,  the crowd was wall to wall. As people were leaving last night, I paced the floor for dimensions. That hall was about 100 yards by 100 yards!  If you remove the vacant space around the podium and off the sides and allow four square feet per person, that comes to nearly 20,000 people!

The Aftermath of Charlottesville: What’s Next for Donald Trump?

(The following article was sent to Gilbert Watch and Gila Watch anonymously.  It’s a timely, accurate, and thoughtful essay that needs to be read by every American.)

Having failed thus far in their attempt to get us into World War III with Russia over the phony “collusion” charges – hoping to destroy Donald Trump even if it means risking our national survival – the Radical Left and their cohorts in the Democratic Party and the Fake News Media are now moving on to a new, more promising tactic, one with a proven track record of success. It’s called “playing the race card.”

It’s not that they’ve given up on Russia, upon which they had placed such high hopes. It’s just taking longer than anticipated. Unfortunately, they encountered a bit of a problem along the way. It’s called evidence. There isn’t any. The only “collusion” uncovered so far was the DNC rigging the primaries against the hapless Bernie Sanders; and CNN willfully supplying Hillary Clinton with debate questions. But that’s a topic for another day.
