Now, it's 'how many armed teachers are already out there?'" GQ: When You Give a Teacher a Gun. A local Vermont newspaper published an editorial this weekend begging its native son, Sen. Bernie Sander (I-VT), to forego another presidential campaign. Bernie Sanders should not run for president. In fact, we beg him not to. That is an unfavorable opinion, especially among most Vermonters and progressives who support the platform that has come to define him. But at this point, there are more things about another Sanders run at the White House that concern us than excite us. The video that is now rocketing around social media, humorist Chad Prather lays it out that in these troubled times, many young people have been susceptible to the socialist snake oil that is being peddled by Democrats like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. But the real truth is they are completely ignorant of history and the repression that has inevitably befallen those who took the great leap of faith. All you have to do is look at Venezuela, where the citizens found out much too late that the promises of a utopian society brought nothing more than poverty, violence, disease, and hunger of the type where people stalked and ate zoo animals to survive. Check out the video: French President Emmanuel Macron intended to start the New Year on the offensive against the ‘yellow vest’ protesters. Instead, the French president is reeling from more violent street demonstrations. What began as a grassroots rebellion against diesel taxes and the high cost of living has morphed into something more perilous for Macron – an assault on his presidency and French institutions. The anti-government protesters on Saturday used a forklift truck to force their way into a government ministry compound, torched cars near the Champs Elysees and in one violent skirmish on a bridge over the Seine punched and kicked riot police officers to the ground. via (Reuters) The most diverse House of Representatives is already the most divisive, The Democrats have spent the last two years whining like spoiled brats with a sense of entitlement that — poor them! — the GOP was in control of all branches of government and they were left with their powerlessness hanging out like old shorts on a broken line. via NY daily news California California California California and Los Angeles County to Remove 1.5 Million Inactive Voters from Voter Rolls – Settle Judicial Watch Federal Lawsuit California...

More Unprepared and Overwhelmed Failures by the Broward County Sheriff’s Office and school district cost children their lives at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. A gunman with an AR-15 fired the bullets, but a series of blunders, bad policies, sketchy training and poor leadership helped him succeed.

Lemony Snicket Ma. Governor Charlie Baker on Friday signed first-of-its-kind legislation to tax and regulate the short-term housing rental market in Massachusetts, capping years of debate over how to navigate an industry that has exploded through companies like Airbnb. The new rules will take effect July 1 and could transform a market that spans the state, from Cape Cod summer homes to Boston apartment buildings to Western Massachusetts vacation retreats. The bill requires every rental host to register with the state, mandates they carry insurance, and opens the potential for local taxes on top of a new state levy. A chief negotiator for the House said the goal is to register every short-term rental in the state by September, and local officials, including in Boston, say the new law will help buttress their own efforts to regulate the booming market. But before Baker’s ink could dry, the law drew a sharp rebuke from Airbnb, which called it “flawed” and unnecessarily complex. Advocates who have closely followed the process — including Airbnb’s decision to sue in federal court to overturn Boston’s municipal regulations — warn a lawsuit against the state could also follow.
