Charter schools are one of the few bright areas of America's otherwise floundering education system. Sadly, that's one of the reasons they are also the subject of fierce opposition. The Left's utter hostility to school choice was on full display this weekend when the NAACP agreed to ratify "a resolution ... adopted by delegates at its 2016 107th National Convention calling for a moratorium on charter school expansion and for the strengthening of oversight in governance and practice." The board listed four conditions that must be met in order for it to retract its position on charter schooling:

(1) Charter schools are subject to the same transparency and accountability standards as public schools (2) Public funds are not diverted to charter schools at the expense of the public school system (3) Charter schools cease expelling students that public schools have a duty to educate and (4) Cease to perpetuate de facto segregation of the highest performing children from those whose aspirations may be high but whose talents are not yet as obvious.

The response from lower-income Americans should be nothing short of outrage. For many children — particularly minorities — charter schooling offers one of the few options they have of escaping the systemic problems associated with inner city public schools. But it seems leftists are more concerned with eliminating all options that don't include public schools than they are on fixing the problems of their own making. As The Wall Street Journal editors put it, "If these gentry progressives are waiting for urban schools to reform without competition from charters or vouchers they are consigning generations of children to diminished lives."

 It's No Mystery Why NFL Viewers Are Tuning Out 
KStUQycwEexjb9FrL871fU6_Pn55xiPZH_VjjMdO0QtWN4j7hqveLYKAbvXB7zxPvgM03CGKF8ccQPjiWWzpB2rBYGw9A14lVFZl4AFN7UcmBcFDQxu1-1CLi1h94Q=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
Paul Albaugh: The National Football League, a favorite of millions of Americans, has seen TV ratings drop precipitously this season. While this is certainly not a major concern for Liberty loving Americans, some of whom couldn't care less about watching overpaid athletes give each other concussions, the reasons for this decline are worth pondering.
          What is interesting is that many sports analysts and league personnel are looking at every possible reason — except for the foolish behavior of some players who have decided it's in their best interest to "take a stand" by kneeling in protest to our nation's flag and the national anthem.
          The Washington Post notes that network and league executives are "scrambling to identify causes" for the drop in ratings that has been the trend up through week five of the regular season. The Post suggests the problem could be that it's an election year. In 2008, ratings for the NFL dropped 2% for the year's entirety while in 2000 ratings dropped 10%. "During the first five weeks of this [season]," the Post says, "ratings have declined 15 percent compared with the entirety of last year."
          The Post also suggests that ratings could be falling because — get this — there is a lack of stardom in the NFL. Players such as Peyton Manning, Marshawn Lynch and Tom Brady have either retired or been suspended from the game and their non-appearance on TV is allegedly causing viewers to lose interest in the game. What about the other stars, or rising ones who come on the scene every year? They don't have an impact on viewers?
          Some analysts point out that the market is fragmented by games being aired on Thursday, Sundays and Mondays and that many of the season's matchups have been "uncompetitive or underwhelming." While all of these reasons could cumulatively be causes for NFL ratings to drop, the Post failed to point out what's likely the primary reason for it. Many viewers are outraged over the actions of some of the NFL's player's lack of patriotism and downright disdain for our nation.
          Indeed, the actions of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, among others who've imitated his deplorable behavior, received no mention from the Posts sports analysts.
          Writing for National Review, columnist Victor Davis Hanson lays out his view of Kaepernick's behavior: "His fad of ritually trashing the United States has now saturated millions of living rooms. His anti-American tirades and adolescent stage act enraged viewers, even after the refusal to stand for the anthem spread throughout the league without criticism from the NFL hierarchy — odd, given the now fossilized red/white/blue star-studded NFL logo."
          He further notes that "the NFL has a long history of insisting that all political messaging and behavior remain taboo and absent from the turf, from expressing support for fallen police to patriotic demonstrations." Apparently not anymore. The NFL and its executives have turned a blind eye to Kaepernick and little has been said and nothing has been done to thwart his un-patriotic, un-American behavior.
          The NFL is actually in denial that player protests have anything to with the drop in ratings. In fact, as David French writes, the league claims that "its own 'data' shows that player protests are not a factor, that fans aren't tuning out because the league is relaxing its notorious restrictions on player self-expression so long as those players are social justice warriors."
          The league is alienating its fan base by refusing to deal with these social justice warriors, who are drawing attention to themselves and their political views instead of the game they are playing.
          Fortunately, a huge contingent of the fans in Buffalo were having none of it, chanting loudly, "USA! USA!" when the visiting Kaepernick decided to protest the national anthem by kneeling. After the game Kaepernick stated, "I don't understand what's un-American about fighting for liberty and justice for everybody, for the equality this country says it stands for."
          Actually, he doesn't understand history. He doesn't understand that the very flag and anthem he is protesting is the flag that millions of American Patriots have died for, to secure his right to express his contemptuous political views. Perhaps he should visit a third-world country or a communist country to see what no Liberty and no justice really looks like.
          The NFL should consider making it a league rule that players will stand for the national anthem or not play. Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones implemented that rule for his team and at least one hockey team in the NHL has done the same. It's simple; if you can't stand for the national anthem and pay respect to the flag and those who fought and died for it — and the Americans paying through the nose to watch you play a game — then feel free to sit on the bench. If the player doesn't like it then they can find another career that pays them millions. Until then, TV viewers have better things to do.  ~The Patriot Post

{dailycaller.com} ~ The day after liar-Hillary Clinton testified in front of the House Select Committee on Benghazi last October, John Podesta, the Democrat’s campaign chairman... met for dinner with a small group of well-connected friends, including Peter Kadzik, a top official at the Justice Department. The dinner arrangement, revealed in hacked Podesta emails released by WikiLeaks, is just the latest example of an apparent conflict of interest between the liar-Clinton campaign and the federal agency charged with investigating the former secretary of state’s email practices...  http://dailycaller.com/2016/10/25/clinton-campaign-chairman-had-multiple-dinners-with-top-doj-official-during-clinton-email-investigation

{rickwells.us} ~ Britt Hume describes another scandal breaking on the liar-Clinton campaign and the liar-nObama dingy-White House. The release of FBI documents indicates liar-Clinton engaged in secretive communications with Hussein liar-nObama through a pseudonym on his Blackberry mobile device... Catherine Herridge reports that liar-nObama has a highly secured Blackberry upon which he receives emails. It has two special capabilities, one of which is to mask his location and the other is to make certain that every email, text or phone call that comes into it has been vetted and pre-approved for him to receive, an exercise called white-listing. Emails sent from unapproved sites or devices would be rejected, bounced back to the sender...  http://rickwells.us/herridge-obama-lying-knew-illegal-clinton-email-server/

{rickwells.us} ~ Lou Dobbs has a few thoughts on Donald Trump, “A fellow who doesn’t mind a good fight, especially when he’s fighting for the good of the country and his fellow Americans... Donald Trump is now in the fight of his life and arrayed against him the most powerful political and business establishment in the entire world, the elites of both political parties and the left wing national media are doing their worst to take him down.”  “Against Trump and all who support him,” says Dobbs, “are extremely powerful forces, such as nearly every federal employee.” Dobbs reports that an analysis of federal employees from fourteen agencies reveals that 95% of them support liar-Hillary Clinton to the tune of $1.85 million. Isn’t it nice to know that our government is populated by rank and file members who actually send money to a criminal who is attacking our Constitution?...  http://rickwells.us/dobbs-elites-govt-academia-media-defeat-trump-momentum/
