My halftime performance was pre recorded but performed live. No lipsycing like the haters and fake news are trying to report. When they synced the cameras to my performance on Bawitdaba, it did not line up as I explain in this video.
This is preposterous.
First of all, she's not waving the officers through and has no right to do so even if she were. She is waving another car through, before the officers approach her car.
Second, the officers are not randomly searching her, they are approaching her vehicle because she is violating the law: namely, she is obstructing a lawful enforcement operation. You're not allowed to walk up to or drive up to people who are enforcing the law to make it harder for them to do their jobs.
Third, this defense attorney is drawing a meaningless distinction between an ICE officer and a "real police officer." Again, you're not allowed to interrupt a lawful enforcement operation, which is exactly what this woman was doing.
Fourth, the officer didn't discharge his weapon to prevent her from fleeing. When he discharged his weapon, she had pointed the vehicle at him and pressed the gas. He discharged his weapon in self defense, and other angles of the video show the woman *clearly* hit the officer with her car while accelerating.
The gaslighting is off the charts and I'm having none of it. This guy was doing his job. She tried to stop him from doing his job. When he approached her car, she tried to hit him.
A tragedy? Absolutely. But a tragedy that falls on this woman and all of the radicals who teach people that immigration is the one type of law that rioters are allowed to interfere with.
I have read many comments in this thread. While I am sure politics blurs the lines, it astounds me how many people actually think closing the Department of Education is a bad thing.
I am speaking as a former teacher and school principal with years of experience. I also have 2 Master's in Education.
The Department of Education has done more to ruin education in America than any other consideration.
The DOE came online in 1979.
PRIOR to the DOE, students in America always scored well globally....usually in the top 10, often times the top 5. Since the DOE started, we have dropped significantly on the global stage.
The DOE brought us 'social promotion' and 'middle schools.' (I was a middle school principal.) For those who aren't aware, middle schools brought us, 'everybody gets a trophy,' 'team building,' 'everyone makes the team,' 'participation is more important than effort' and 'grades are bad.'
The DOE has presided over the greatest decline of academic performance on the part of students in our history.
When states were in control, we had better graduation rates (real graduation rates, not the social promotion kind), better test scores and better attendance.
States are perfectly capable of educating children.
Reading some of the comments in this thread leads me to think that some of you believe education didn't exist before 1979. Or...some of you simply aren't paying attention.
You should NOT adopt a 'Party line' on this. Look at the evidence...our DOE has been pathetic.
The DOE has replaced teaching with training. It is focused on curriculum, not children; Teachers not students; Critical Theory not critical thinking; Politics not policy.
Their efforts have manifested themselves by increased teen suicide rates, drug addiction and delinquency. (Certainly, they don't take all the blame, the families falling apart play a large role as well, but our schools are failing our children and our future.)
Wake up folks. If you truly believe children are our most valuable 'asset,' then closing the DOE is the first step toward helping them.
You should be celebrating.
Just so you know ...
If you leftists damage a Tesla ...
- the Tesla's cameras will take a clear picture of you.
- we'll tweet out your picture on X to millions of people.
- you will be identified.
- you will be arrested.
- you will be charged with a felon.
- you will be charged with a hate crime.
- you will go to prison.
- then we'll plaster your mugshot all over X to millions of people all over the world.
- FAFO.
