Nigeria A week ago, Former U.S. President Bill Clinton ascribed the recent jihad violence in Nigeria to poverty.
Referring obliquely to the attacks that the jihadist group Boko Haram (Western education is Sin) carried out, Clinton connected the recent violence in Nigaria to the large disparity between the rich and the poor.
Clinton opined, “You can’t just have this level of inequality persist. That’s what’s fueling all this stuff.â€
Then, four days later, the son of one of Nigeria’s richest men was sentenced to life in prison for an attempt to commit jihad mass murder in a jetliner.

I know Clinton gets 50 to 100 thousand for speeches, but that doesn’t change Bin Laden and most leading Jihadists into paupers. jaj48@aol.com
Clearly a merit system for teachers is needed. Look at the poor quality of teachers’ writings. These teachers are all from the ‘chicken nugget’ school in North Carolina where home made lunches were sent home as not OK and chicken nuggets substituted from the school cafeteria.
Merit pay for teachers
“I am the oldest child of David and Kathryn Anderson, whom where both educators, too.”
“I am a certified, Highly Qualified teacher.”
“I will be your son or daughter teacher this year .”
“Dear Parents My name is Janet Stewart Sallie. I’m a native North Carolinia, graduated from a Cumberland County High School…”
“This is why I REQUIRE each of my students to read for AT LEAST 30 minutes each night. I will hold them accountable for this time expected. Their futures depend of their abilities to read and write on grade level. Please help me lead them on the right path to a successful future.”
_______________
These are actual excerpts from teachers’ biographies. These teachers are from the school where 2 students had their lunches removed in order to force chicken nuggets on them.
It is easier to grab a kid’s lunch than to learn to write an English sentence. We need a merit system for teachers now!!
Food police in CA win.  Assemblyman Bill Monning, D-Carmel,  introduced legislation to restrict mobile food vending near school campuses. [This bill  id now law.]
The bill prohibits food and beverage vending within 1,500 feet of elementary and secondary school campuses from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on any days schools are in session. It also requires local health agencies to notify mobile food vendors of this restriction.
“The mobile vending of unhealthful snacks like ice cream, chips and sugar-sweetened beverages near school campuses undermines efforts to provide students with the nutrition they need,” Monning said. “At a time when childhood obesity is at epidemic levels, we must ensure that our school environments foster student wellness.”
According to Monning, mobile vending near school campuses creates incentive for students to leave school grounds, which increases their exposure to off-campus hazards such as heavily trafficked streets.
_______________
This is bogus on many grounds. Kids leave school at lunchtime anyway. The roach coach is at the curb which is closer than the store down the street. The union workers at the school cafeteria benefit while the non union workers are expelled from business.
1500 feet from any school will encompass most of many cities. And, finally, who appointed Monning as Chief cook? Legislative obesity is a problem so let’s regulate their food.
Kristin Ross 910 709 1211 One child’s homemade lunch rejected by a Teacher & replaced with chicken nuggets from the school cafeteria may be “a misunderstanding” as West Hoke Elementary School (WHES) officials opine.
But, when this happens to the parents of two children from the same school — and the same Teacher appears involved — then it begins to look like a pattern.
Here’s how the press and public can find out who how many Teachers are involved:
The following information is from the home page for West Hoke Elementary School (WHES), North Carolina:
There are roughly 25+ Teachers at West Hoke Elementary School
Address: 6050 Turnpike Road, Redford N.C, 28576 910 875-2584
There are three (3) Site Administrators for West Hoke Elementary School. See name, picture and telephone above for one of the Site Administrators.
Kristin Anderson Ross teaches First Grade and is also a Site Administrator.
The other two Site Administrators — the Principal and Vice Principal — do not list contact information. That’s odd. Why no contact information for 2 of 3 Site Administrators?
The Press might contact the North Carolina administrators for the elementary schools. Probably someone called West Hoke and told the school to remove contact information for the Principal and Vice Principal. But, if someone did so they did not think — or check — how many Site Administrators the school has.
All the 25+ Teachers — except one — list some information about their background, education, interests and how to contact them. Each Teacher has a personal greeting and talks a little about themselves. Again, it’s odd that there is one and only one Teacher — a Pre-K Teacher — for whom there is no information.
There are three Pre-K Teachers per the home page for the school:
Kerry Locklear — a Pre-K teacher — is the only teacher for whom there is no information listed on the home page for West Hoke Elementary. That’s odd.
Was Ms. Locklear’s information up and then pulled by the school authorities? It’s a possibility. News reports said that school authorities were not answering phone calls. Perhaps school officials have been busy tidying up?
Shanarra Wacker is another Pre-K Teacher at West Hoke Elementary. Take a close look at what Shanarra Wacker writes to parents: Shanarra Wacker writes, “I will be your son or daughter teacher this year. This is my second year teaching Pre-k at WHES…
Whoops! Note Shanarra Wacker’s grammatical errors? Ms. Wacker is a relatively new teacher, i.e., this is her second year, at West Hoke Elementary School.
The third Teacher listed as a Pre-K Teacher at West Hoke Elementary is Margaret Maynor who has an assistant teacher, Bonita Thomas. Concerning her background, Mrs. Maynor writes that she worked for Head Start for 18 years and has worked at the elementary school since Sept. 2007. Mrs. Maynor is married to Rev. Jack Maynor, has three children and three grandchildren. Mrs. Maynor probably has made many, many home made lunches. But what about Bonita Thomas, her assistant. Perhaps Ms. Thomas inspected the lunches?
So who to ask?Kindergarten Teacher Barbara Beason has worked at West Hoke 19 years. She has 3 children and 6 grandchildren. More than likely she has made many home made lunches. She is a good contact person as Mrs. Beason probably knows what goes on with the Pre-K teachers. Those Pre-K children will soon go to her room.
Jackie Samuels is the Principal, room 405 and teaches grades 3 and 4. Principal Samuels
There is no contact information listed how to reach Principal Jackie Samuels via the Internet.
Audrey Noble is the Assistant Principal. Vice Principal Noble
All Audrey Noble says on the home page is, “Go Dolphins!” Similar to the Principal, there is contact telephone for the Assistant Principal, Ms. Noble.
One person to contact is Site Administrator and First Grade Teacher Kristin Anderson Ross. Teacher Ross has 12 years experience at the school. Room 205. Her cell phone is 910 709 1211.
Beside phone, teachers and site administrators can be contacted by e-mail. Listed below is one email and it’s easy to figure out how to contact any of the Teachers or Site Administrators:
One Teacher’s e-mail address and other information that is listed: escott@eechalk.hcs.k12.nc.us (910) 875 2584 and mobile 910 797 7081. She writes that she is the proud daughter of a service veteran.
OK, press, do your job: inform and educate the public.
Is there a pattern of rejecting home made lunches by this school or just by one particular teacher? Does the school get more money from the federal government if more children are counted as getting a school lunch? What’s in it for who?
Perhaps it’s best to ask more parents who have or had children in the three Pre-K classes at West Hoke Elementary School, North Carolina.
So which Teacher or Teachers at West Hoke Elementary told children that their home made lunch was not OK and sent the children to the cafeteria for chicken nuggets instead?
The 2011-2012 Pre-K Teachers at West Hoke Elementary School in North Carolina are Kerry Locklear (the only Teacher for whom there is no public information listed), Shanarra Wackker (who cannot write correct English), and Margaret Maynor (wife of a Reverend, 18 years experience with Head Start and who has an Assistant Teacher, Bonita Thomas).
So, press and public. Figure it out.
Check out the home page for West Hoke Elementary School, North Carolina.

When a federal appeals court issued a ruling describing a prosecutor’s misconduct that forced a halt to a drug-trafficking trial in Tucson, the U.S. attorney’s response was to ask the court to erase the prosecutor’s name from the published decision.
Bad move. After republishing the name of the errant prosecutor, Jerry Albert, the court pointed a finger at the U.S. attorney’s office and said it was time to start taking responsibility for the misdeeds of its employees.
“When a prosecutor steps over the boundaries of proper conduct and into unethical territory, the government has a duty to own up to it and to give assurances that it will not happen again,†the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco said Tuesday.
And, concerning all of the U.S. attorney’s legal filings, the court said, “we cannot find a single hint of appreciation of the seriousness of the misconduct. … Instead, the government attempts to shift blame†to the defense lawyer in the case.

Will anyone be fired or disciplined in any way for hiding the ball?
Is it a bird? A plane? Or is it a flying, carrot dispensing machine? Obama's freebie carrots
Obama-Care’s individual mandate penalties –what you pay if you don’t buy government approved health coverage— are best described as a flying, freebie carrot dispensing machine. With pilot Obama at the controls.
Obama will turn the individual mandate penalties into carrots which he dispenses free to all whom Obama decides cannot afford.
So, remember the motto of the Scouts: Be Prepared! How? Know the history and know what Obama’s next step is likely to be.
History: Is it a fine? At first, the Obama administration defended the Obama-Care individual mandate as a “fineâ€. This argument is weak as the Supreme Court could reject this expansion of the Commerce Clause as without precedent and limitless. If not to act is an act ,what other acts can government demand? That is not a path the Supreme Court is likely to go.
Is it a tax? Currently Obama’s lawyers, now before the Supreme Court, defend the individual mandate as a “taxâ€. And much as people moan about taxes they are commonly viewed an inevitable as death.
But remember Obama’s campaign promise: no increase of taxes for the middle class making less than $250,000. So, Obama needs to call the individual mandate something else.
So Obama will frame the individual mandate as neither fish nor fowl – neither fine nor tax. Then Obama will mandate it as something given free to all whom he deems cannot afford it.
All good things are free according to Obama. Hence, the cost of Obama-Care must be free to those who Obama thinks can ill afford it: youth, those receiving unemployment benefits, Food Stamp recipients, those who pay no federal taxes.
Can’t you hear Obama’s speech:
it's only fair
I, President Obama, mandate that the initial cost for health care is free to all who cannot afford it. This is only fair.
If you are a youth 18-25 and never had a job? It’s free….
If you lost your job and have not yet found another one? It’s free.
And for those who are on Food Stamps and can show that they are looking for a job? It’s free.
And if you already do not pay federal income tax, you should not be further burdened.
This is only fair …. [according to Obama]
How many times does the word ‘fair’ appear in The Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution?
Snowfall in the Sierra Nevada has remained consistent for 130 years, with no evidence that anything has changed as a result of climate change, according to a study released Tuesday.
The analysis of snowfall data in the Sierra going back to 1878 found no more or less snow overall – a result that, on the surface, appears to contradict aspects of recent climate change models.
John Christy, the Alabama state climatologist who authored the study that said the amount of snow in the mountains has not decreased in the past 50 years, a period when greenhouse gases were supposed to have increased the effects of global warming.
The heaping piles of snow that fell in the Sierra last winter and the paltry amounts this year fall within the realm of normal weather variability, he concluded.
“The dramatic claims about snow disappearing in the Sierra just are not verified,” said Christy.

A North Carolina mother is upset because her preschooler’s homemade turkey sandwich was deemed unhealthy by school officials. Her daughter ate three chicken nuggets instead. Huh?
Turns out the little girl attends a state school and her turkey and cheese sandwich, banana, potato chips, and apple juice did not meet U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines, according to the Carolina Journal.
Even lunches brought from home must meet this requirement and if they don’t, the childcare provider must give the student additional food.
In the case of this little girl, her packed lunch was supplemented with the school lunch that included chicken nuggets—and she ended up eating only three chicken nuggets that day. What’s more, the preschooler returned home with a note telling her parents that they owed $1.25 to pay for school lunch.

You see the progression here? No trans fat(whatever that is), no sugar, no meat, and no non organic. And a spy at every other table to snatch the goodies away.
written by Aptos Psychologist It’s time to confront President Obama’s illegal acts. And we can!
Remember that adage? ‘An apple a day keeps the doctor away’? Obama transmogrifies it into,
‘A Chicken McNugget a day keeps the the school food police away’.
Citing ‘nutritional concerns,’ South Carolina school authorities replaced a child’s homemade turkey and cheese sandwich with fried Chicken McNuggets from the school cafeteria.
But what’s in Chicken McNuggets? What percent protein? How much additives? Nobody knows.
Checking McDonald’s web site, there is no information listed as to percent of protein in a Chicken McNuggets. Further, there’s zip info as to percent of added water, sodium phosphates, sugar, wheat and other added ingredients.
So, you got to eat it — but you can’t know what’s in it that you are eating. Is that Obama-Care sense? Yes. There are no U.S. standards as to percent protein in a Chicken McNugget or how much X, Y or Z can be added.
As to other countries: Canada requires that the equivalent of a chicken McNuggets have no less than 12% meat protein when cooked. And, no more than .5% phosphate salts can be added to a Canadian McNuggets
With Obama’s new food standards for schools in place, children are required to eat food such as McNuggets which are of unknown, questionable nutritional value.
Looking at Obama’s actions and not his words, Obama’s motto can be phrased,
‘An illegal act a day keeps the ….. Republicans … Conservatives … Public at bay’.
Obama’s illegal acts include:
On Jan. 4, 2012, without the advise and consent of Congress (congress was in session), President Obama made 4 appointments. Those four appointments by Obama were illegal acts.
In violation of current law — the Religious Freedom Restoration Act signed by Bill Clinton in 1993 — and the Bill of Rights, this last week Obama mandated that religious organizations provide contraceptives without regard to their religious beliefs and practices. Then Obama amended the mandate to require that private insurance companies provide contraceptives for free. Which means that the religious organizations must pay higher premiums.
One hundred years ago, the Girl Scouts of America was founded. And there will be much celebration of this organization rated 8th out of 100+ non-profit organizations. be prepared!
Both the Girl Scouts and the Boy Scouts have the same motto:
Be prepared! And so must all Americans.
Be prepared. Expect that President Obama will commit more illegal acts.
And we must take appropriate, legal actions. One illegal act after another erodes our liberties and freedoms. The Democrat controlled Senate has not passed a budget in three years. That means that the Senate has not done its job.
So, write your congress and complain. Nag them!
Back to An Apple a Day that Keeps the Doctor Away:
Doctors need to be paid appropriately. And our MD doctors are lowly paid by the federal government.
In our area –Santa Cruz County and Monterey County, California — Democrat Sam Farr has failed for 20 years to get appropriate payment for “rural” doctors.
Yet Santa Cruz as a City is rated as one of the most attractive in the nation as artistic and beautiful. Which it is. And Sam Farr for the last three years fully supports Obama-Care. It’s time that California voters in Sana Cruz and Monterey look for better representation. And who might that be?

And on the Seventh Day after resting a while, God heard Barack Obama talking from afar to his foot soldiers in the Trojan Horse:All must comply
Come forth! All must comply! Go faithful soldiers at night to all hospitals, charities and faiths. Enforce what my servant HHS Sebelius says …
Isaiah 40:31 Wings like eagles
And God told Obama, Come hither, Barack O, and speak to to Me of your new Rule while I rest on the Seventh Day.
Remember, Barack O, the words I spoke to Man: Go forth and multiply.
Do not bend My Words to your desires, Barack O. Now, what is this new Rule you’ve imposed?
And Barack O said, Lord, This is my new Obama-Care Rule:
All things good are free. And all Technology is free which prevents Woman from bearing Child as pregnancy might threaten Woman’s life. And, all Women have a Right to say ‘no children’ and still enjoy the pleasure of husband, lover, friend or acquaintance.
And now, Lord, I go to write this Law for your people to follow.
Adam, hiding behind the Tree of Life,Bibical Tree of LIfe
overheard the conversation between God and Barack O. With fear and trembling after Barack O left, Adam approached God and said: Oh Lord, you have given me Woman and I am no longer alone. But what if Woman does not wants Child — and I do? How can I protect Child? And what if Child is not of my seed as I have not touched Woman?
And God said, Adam as first Man, I gave you freedom to choose. As a guide you have Joseph who protected Mary with child when he had not yet touched her. And Man said, Yes Lord, I will protect if there is a growing child to protect.
But Lord, is it fair that Woman has a Right to say ‘no Child’ and pay zero for the Technology which prevents or kills Child in her womb — and I do not have similar Rights? Barack O’s new Rule gives all power to Woman and leaves Man and Child with no power.
And Adam continued: Lord, Barack O’s new Rule injures Man and all Men. As all Men are injured we seek protection. To what authority or what court can Man go to oppose Barack O’s new Mandate? Lord, can we sue for standing?
And God replied to Man, I will think on these things. And I will think about Child’s Rights and Man’s Rights. Woman’s Rights must not overcome the Rights of Man or Child.
There must be some balancing of powers, said God. If Man is akin to the executive. And if Woman with her husband oversees the Purse of Money …. Mmmmm. And Child does need some protections… And God said, I will consult my legal scholar sons, Scalia and Roberts.
And God said, Perhaps Man, if you are injured by Barack O’s new Rule, you can go to a Court of Law and sue for standing. Sue for standing as injured party
And Adam said, Oh Lord, please read Wealth of Nations written by my brother Adam Smith. And, just as you have given Man free choice to love and obey you, think about the use of Free Markets to freely regulate the cost of Technology that prevents or kills what is in Woman’s womb.
Adam continued, It’s better that both Man and Woman have free choice about whether to use and what kind of Technology to use. It’s not good that Woman has whatever served up free on a platter.
Then Adam continued, There are these plastic things Man can use. Condoms prevent disease
They prevent sexually transmitted disease and AIDS. Lord, let the Free Markets decide the cost of contraceptive Technology for both Man and Woman.
And Lord, your son Barack O has already made many, many Rules that take away your people’s freedom to choose.
Oh, Lord God, What is called Obama-Care creates 159 new govt agencies and is indeed a labyrinth designed to control people. See what it looks like: Obama-Care complexity
Oh, Lord, Barack O passed a Rule called the Individual Mandate that all adults must go to a certain place called an Exchange. And all must register. And all must buy a product just because they are alive.
And if they do not buy this product, called health insurance, they must pay a fine. The fine is fairly small, and many people will choose to pay the fine rather than buy the product. But over time there will be no free markets managing the price of this product.
Your son Barack O seeks to enslave your people. He wants your people dependent upon him for their rights.
Instead of the rights of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness coming coming from You, Lord to Man, Woman and Child, Barack O wants all rights to come from him as ruler. And over time your people will become more and more dependent upon Obama and rulers like him.
Lord, what are we to do? Can’t You just unleash Your Justice? and let Justice roll down from the Hills?
And Lord, I thought you rested on the Seventh Day. Are you sure that Rule about free Technology for Woman makes sense?
And God say to Adam: You are an argumentative son! Six days I have labored and I was resting before I called Barack O before me to hear about his new Rule to give Woman free Technology. Had I rested more …
That Barack O Rule is a mistake! I will send a Messenger
to tell Barack O I do not want him to impose that Rule forcing companies to provide a product for free.
Nothing is free except that which is given freely. Perhaps Hermes, who the Greeks called the god of thieves, can knock some sense into Barack’s hard head!
As for the other Rules Barack O has passed, my people must wisely use the freedoms they have. They can and must petition their government petition redress Obama-Care grievances
for redress of grievances. They have many tools to defend their freedoms. Use those tools wisely.
And I will listen to my people, to those who wait on the Lord. I will give them strength.
They who wait on the Lord shall rise up with the wings of eagles and run and not be faint.
Read again from my prophet Isaiah. He promised what I continue to do. [Isaiah 40:31]
And, Man, be careful. Barack O is a willful son who often follows his own path.
Now go, that I may rest for the remainder of the Seventh Day.
And Man did as God bid.
