1ST AMENDMENT DOESN’T APPLY IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS: How else to read the decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals First Circuit? Funny, I thought the Constitution assigned to judges the responsibility for resolving such issues??? Decision was written by an Obama appointee.

CHANGE: Panic stations for Democrats as tech titans raise millions for Trump.

Silicon Valley appears to be turning on Joe Biden and the Democrats as a major fundraising event raised millions for Donald Trump in San Francisco on Thursday.

The event, hosted by prominent venture capitalist David Sacks and investment firm founder Chamath Palihapitiya, shows a major shift in sentiment within an industry once seen as staunchly liberal – potentially causing worries for the Democrats.

Sacks, a partner of Craft Ventures and former COO of PayPal, opened the doors of his Pacific Heights home for the fundraiser, where tickets sold for a hefty $50,000 per head, with an exclusive $300,000 tier offering perks such as a photo opportunity with Trump – and $500,000 per couple.

The event was expected to rake in a staggering $12 million for Trump’s campaign, a success for the Republican candidate, despite his recent legal troubles.

In Poland, a plurality of voters under the age of 30 supported the far-right Konfederacja. In France, the National Rally did a little better among voters under the age of 35 than it did in the population as a whole. In Germany, the young are now significantly more likely to vote for the far right than the old, with the AfD out-polling the Greens among those who are younger than 25.”

Europe, like America, needs a new class of leaders who are attuned to reality and not gentry-class fictions and fantasies.
