Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) is aghast that President Donald Trump's impeachment lawyers might her dangerous rhetoric to defend him in his impeachment trial. She claims she never "glorified or encouraged" any violence against Republicans or members of Trump's administration. Waters made the declaration on MSNBC. Do you know what she said on MSNBC in 2018? She wanted people to harass Republicans and Trump's administration.

The Chicago Public Schools (CPS) and the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) have a proposal to return to the classroom for the first time since March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CTU insisted the two sides still need "a formal agreement." They consider the proposal a "framework that all of our members must first review and assess."

It's weird how reality changes when the media's favorite presidential candidate takes office. The Democrats and media "forget" that the $600 checks were approved under President Donald Trump's administration. They "forget" that President Joe Biden promised $2,000 checks on the campaign trail. But since $1400 + $600 = $2000 the leftists are willing to "forget" that little detail.

To the shock of no one, President Joe Biden and the CDC skirted around his declaration of requiring masks on planes, trains, and federal property. Another order quietly came about on January 28th, which mentioned compliance "consistent with CDC guidelines and applicable law." So those who thought Biden would go farther were right. He just did it through the CDC, which requires masks in all modes of transportation. It went into effect this week.

Yes, you read the headline correctly. The city of San Francisco is suing its own school district for not having a "meaningful plan for how or when in-person" teaching will begin. Teachers and students have not been in the classroom since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Also, I think this is the fourth #headdesk story I've written related to San Francisco schools.

Chicago Public Schools (CPS) and the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) called for a two-day break after officials pulled off one agreement. Students K-8th grade have not attended in-person class since March 2020 due to COVID-19. CPS wanted to open schools in January, but the union has made it difficult by insisting officials have not met any demands.
