WHAT TOOK THEM SO LONG? Notorious race faker Rachel Dolezal loses elementary school teaching job after district learns about her OnlyFans posts: officials.

Infamous race faker and former NAACP chapter president Rachel Dolezal lost her job teaching at an Arizona elementary school after the district learned about her OnlyFans account, school officials said.

Dolezal, who is going by Nkechi Diallo, came under fire on Tuesday following reports that the Catalina Foothills School District teacher had an OnlyFans page listed on her public social media account that appeared to be operated by her, News4 Tucson reports.  

Dolezal was allegedly making $19 an hour in her teaching job, while also selling content on OnlyFans for $9.99 a month.

Julie Farbarik, the district’s director of alumni & community relations, said in a statement that Diallo’s “posts are contrary to our district’s ‘Use of Social Media by District Employees’ policy and our staff ethics policy”

“We only learned of Ms. Nkechi Diallo’s OnlyFans social media posts yesterday afternoon,” Farbarik added. “She is no longer employed by the Catalina Foothills School District.”

Was it the new name that kept the school district at bay for so long? Because otherwise: ‘Transracial’ icon Rachel Dolezal has been reduced to doing OnlyFans and Black Twitter has thoughts­­.

RIP: William Post, who played a key role in developing Pop-Tarts, dies at 96.

William Post, a Michigan man who played an important role in the development of Pop-Tarts, has died at age 96.

Post died Saturday, according to a family obituary which provided no details on his death but says he was raised in Grand Rapids as “one of seven children of Dutch immigrants” and had retired at age 56 as a senior vice president with Keebler Company and settled in Glen Arbor, Mich.

Kellanova, formerly known as Kellogg Co., said in a statement Wednesday that it was “deeply saddened” by Post’s death.

“He played an important role in co-creating the iconic Pop-Tarts brand and we are grateful to Bill for his legacy and lasting contributions to our company,” Kellanova said without elaborating.

Pop-Tarts debuted in 1964 in Cleveland, Ohio. The toaster pastry was originally sold in four flavors — strawberry, blueberry, brown sugar cinnamon and apple-currant — before it was released nationwide the following year, Kellanova’s website states.

QUESTION ASKED: Is Marvel dying?

Martin Scorsese thinks Marvel films aren’t cinema. “The pictures are made to satisfy a specific set of demands, and they are designed as variations on a finite number of themes,” he wrote in a New York Times article in 2019, written after a wave of backlash from superhero fans and directors alike. Earlier that year, Marvel’s three-hour blockbuster Avengers: Endgame had garnered over $2.7 billion. For a while it was the highest-grossing film ever made. People turned up to see it in spandex catsuits. You couldn’t move for replica infinity stones. Some theaters, eager to fill the demand, screened the film over and over for seventy-two straight hours.

Now everything’s coming up Scorsese. The Marvel strongmen have fallen from the sky and landed, cape-first, onto concrete. Last year’s The Marvels, a group outing of female superheroes, made a profit of only $47 million on its $200 million budget — the lowest box-office takeaway of any Marvel film. The film blog Deadline blames Disney+ streaming services. In its on-demand delivery of superhero “content,” it does away with most of the magic of going to the movies. Fair enough. But there are other dimensions to the decline.

I survey friends who like superhero films, only to find they’ve all gone off Marvel films. One says she hasn’t seen a Marvel film in nearly six years because the plots are too complicated. All of the heroes operate in the same universe: you have to have watched every Marvel release of the last decade to understand whatever they put out next. Another used to watch the films regularly but found that the different fight scenes started to merge into each other. Some pin the decline to the birth of Disney+ and others to the release of Endgame, which killed off several of the franchise’s most recognizable characters. “Too many movies and shows to keep track of,” explains another ex-fan.

In his new book Pandora’s Box: How Guts, Guile, and Greed Upended TV, veteran Hollywood journalist Peter Biskind writes:

WandaVision is full of echoes, allusions, callbacks, and Easter eggs from old TV sitcoms and previous Marvel shows, creating a puzzle for superfans by entangling them in the increasingly intricate Marvel maze, all of which is fine. But when Black Widow was released, requiring The Washington Post to run a piece entitled, “The 7 Marvel Movies You Should See Before Black Widow,” the danger is that those who merely want to watch, not research a PhD in MCU studies, are left out in the cold. Ditto Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. For those studying for their MCU exams, The New York Times recommended rewatching five films to fully understand it.

The current incarnation of Hollywood began with George Lucas’s Star Wars in 1977. It’s opening crawl began with the words, “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away,” which alerted moviegoers they needn’t know anything about the backstories of the characters they were about to watch for the first time to enjoy the movie. Comic book-based Hollywood would be wise to recapture that ethos.

21^st CENTURY HEADLINES: ‘Serious national security threat’ is ‘Russia wanting to put a nuclear weapon in space’: Biden urged to declassify all materials after ominous warning from top Republican Mike Turner.

When Biden announced his run for the presidency in 1988, he read from a speech that contained the following passage:

There are risks we must take in foreign policy and national security if we are going to shape our children’s world.  America can not retreat from the world.  We can not succumb to the isolationist instincts of those who would put up trade walls to keep out the world, or others who would pull a Star Wars cover over our heads – a modern “Maginot Line” – ravaging our economic capital, nuclearizing the heavens, and yielding the fate of our children’s world to the malfunction of the computer, Like it or not, our only choice is to compete and prosper in the world beyond our shores.

In 2024, Sundown Joe probably doesn’t remember reading that, and he’s likely too far gone for his worldview to have advanced much beyond it.

PARAMOUNT MINUS: Bloodbath at Paramount claims 800 jobs including CBS News journalists embroiled in controversy.

Catherine Herridge — an award-winning senior correspondent whose First Amendment case is being closely watched by journalists nationwide — was among the hundreds of employees at CBS parent Paramount who got pink slips on Tuesday, sources told The Post.

The carnage provoked outrage from the rank-and-file at CBS, with some focusing their ire on Paramount Global CEO Bob Bakish, who pulled down $32 million in total compensation last year despite the company’s ever-shrinking financial profile.

“Everybody in the newsroom is pissed that Bob Bakish is making over $30 million and he’s making these cuts,” one insider fumed.

Elsewhere, some suspected the layoffs were more than just cost-cutting. Sources said Herridge had clashed with CBS News president Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews — a sharp-elbowed executive who was investigated in 2021 over favoritism and discriminatory hiring and management practices, as revealed by The Post.

Sources said CBS News’ Washington bureau, where Herridge covered national security and intelligence, was hit particularly hard.

Herridge committed actual journalism at a network that’s otherwise been a reliable Democratic Party PR organ since 1964. No wonder she was axed.

HOW IT STARTED: How Joe Biden Is Positioning Himself as a Modern FDR.

—Time magazine, October 28th, 2020*.

How it’s going: The Last Time an Unfit Incumbent Ran for Reelection.

Few self-respecting physicians with the trust of the president are going to betray it. By early 1944, FDR had been diagnosed with a life-threatening condition, namely “acute congestive heart failure.” An examining physician called his health status simply “God-awful.”

Nonetheless, the White House rolled out FDR’s doctor in September to pronounce the president’s health “perfectly O.K.,” with “absolutely no organic difficulties at all.” He said the president, who had experienced alarming weight loss, had just decided to shed some pounds and that he’s “proud of his flat — repeat F-L-A-T — tummy.”

Journalistic defenders can be trusted to attack and shame anyone who mistrusts the official story.

Pro-Roosevelt writer Marquis Childs called the well-founded rumors about FDR’s health a “wicked business” and “the vilest kind of fear campaign.” The problem wasn’t FDR’s underlying condition but the malignancy of his enemies: “Some people hate the President so much that the wish is father to the thought that his health is seriously undermined.”

Sound familiar?

Of course, the political allies will always do their duty. Harry Truman, recently selected as FDR’s new vice-presidential nominee, told reporters after a lunch with the president that he was “still the leader he’s always been, and don’t let anybody kid you about it.”

Truman told a friend, in contrast, that the president’s “hands are shaking and he talks with considerable difficulty.” According to Truman, FDR was “just going to pieces” physically, and he said he was like “a phonograph record played at the wrong speed.”

This wasn’t an unusual reaction. People around Roosevelt were in great fear of his dying, yet no one let on.

Hopefully this isn’t an exact repeat of 1944. Otherwise, which nation will Kamala, Michelle, or Gavin nuke first shortly after taking office?

MARK JUDGE: Sorry, Dave Marcus: Biden and the Left Will Try to Jail You or Kill You.

I’d just finished confessing to a documentary film crew about how close I came to suicide. That came after a coordinated persecution by fanatical abortion advocates and socialists willing to falsely accuse an innocent, eminent judge of attempted rape, advocates who tried to use me to frame him. I took a breath, and checked my phone, only to find that Dave Marcus had just sent out a tweet defending President Biden.

“I have a lot of issues with Joe Biden” Marcus wrote. “But he is my president. And I know he won’t jail or kill me for opposing him. Putin does. And you useful idiots praising him are, well, idiots.”

Marcus is wrong. Biden and the American Stasi only care about power. Your life means nothing to them. If they need to toss you in jail or drive you to suicide to keep power, so be it.

AMERICA’S NEWSPAPER OF RECORD: San Franciscans Loot Slightly More Than Usual Following Super Bowl Loss.

HEADLINES FROM 2018: The age of glorifying Greta Thunberg is over.

Greta Thunberg spent her weekend in France supporting two environmental campaigns. On Sunday she appeared at a rally in Bordeaux against an oil drilling project; twenty-four hours earlier the twenty-one-year-old Swede was further east, adding her voice to those activists opposed to the construction of a new stretch of motorway between Toulouse and Castres. “We are here in solidarity with those who are resisting this project and this madness,” said Thunberg in English, her now familiar keffiyeh around her neck.

Some French media described Thunberg as an “anti-global warming icon” and the “figurehead in the fight to protect the planet.” She might have been once.

Now, however, in her ubiquitous keffiyeh, appearing to chant “Crush Zionism” or endorsing slogans such as “Palestine will be free” she has become — perhaps unwittingly — the figurehead for what conservative commentators in France call “the green alliance.”

Three years ago Jean Messiha, the spokesman for Éric Zemmour during his 2022 presidential campaign, wrote of this strange coalition between Islamists and ecologists: “They share one color: green. But not only that. They also share a totalitarian approach to society.”

Plus ça change: the original European environmentalists who had a strange coalition with Islamists were awfully totalitarian as well.

OLD AND BUSTED: Recreate ’68!

The New Hotness? No, not that way! RFK, Jr.’s Super Bowl Campaign Ad Broke Democrats in a Big Way.

The ad is pinned to the top of Kennedy’s X account. He apologized to his outraged family members, though, which I was disappointed to see. But, it’s his family.

I'm so sorry if the Super Bowl advertisement caused anyone in my family pain. The ad was created and aired by the American Values Super PAC without any involvement or approval from my campaign. FEC rules prohibit Super PACs from consulting with me or my staff. I love you all. God…

— Robert F. Kennedy Jr (@RobertKennedyJr) February 12, 2024

Some of his siblings and other family members have treated him very badly simply because they disagree with some of his political stances, especially his opinion on the COVID-19 vaccine. They are Biden supporters and that’s their right. However, airing their hard feelings against their brother is unseemly.

But some members of Kennedy’s family complained about his use of family images. Kennedy’s cousin, Bobby Shriver, the son of Kennedy’s aunt Eunice Kennedy Shriver, wrote on X, “My cousin’s Super Bowl ad used our uncle’s faces- and my Mother’s. She would be appalled by his deadly health care views. Respect for science, vaccines, & health care equity were in her DNA. She strongly supported my health care work at @ONECampaign & @RED which he opposes.”

And Bobby Shriver’s brother, Mark Shriver, also commented, saying, “I agree with my brother @bobbyshriver simple as that.”

Someone whose initials are “RFK” is saying off-the-wall stuff during an election year? That’s never happened before:

By 1970, it would all fall apart of course. The same liberals who believed that they could simultaneously go to the moon, fight the Cold War, fight a hot war in Vietnam and Texas-size the New Deal with the Great Society would come crashing down to earth, and become obsessed with a whole host of reasons why the nation — and the planet — were royally screwed. Environmentalism, zero population growth, a so-called energy crisis and a whole plethora of other doubts were the symptoms of a self-created mental depression that once manic liberals found themselves wallowing in during the entire 1970s.

And while you can blame some of their self-doubts on the accumulated weight of Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King being assassinated in 1968, followed by the election of their bete noire that November, Moe Lane spots a clip of Bobby Kennedy on the campaign trail that year that shows how quickly the rot had seeped in. Compare RFK’s rhetoric as he tells a classroom of young kids that they were doomed to spend their adult lives trapped in a Soylent Green-style eco-apocalypse, with the optimism of his brother, and it was clear that the end of the New Frontier was well in sight:

What would Bobby Kennedy think about today’s Occupy Wall Street? It depends on which period RFK you spoke with. Late period RFK — the man who told a group of college students in 1968 that America needed to “breed men who riot” — would love it. An earlier RFK would have wire-tapped its leaders.

Would RFK Sr. have had a similar stance on vaccines as his son had he lived beyond 1968? It’s impossible to speculate given the many strange and at times contradictory paths leftism has taken over the decades since his horrific assassination, but unlike the current members of the Kennedy clan, I believe it’s not beyond the realm of impossibility.
