Shameful: Teachers in Buffalo, NY get free botox, liposuction and tummy tucks on taxpayers dime

Teachers unions in Buffalo, NY have a sweetheart deal. They get free plastic surgery with no deductible  on the taxpayer's dime.
As thousands of teachers face layoffs across the country, teachers in Buffalo, New York are getting lipo? Yep. And nose jobs and whatever else they want. All on the taxpayers’ dime. How is this happening?[… ]
The sweet deal that all the 3,400 teachers in Buffalo are eligible to get under one of their insurance plan options, they are billed nothing for any plastic surgery procedure, such as botox, liposuction, tummy tucks, and there is no deductible.
Linda Tokarz teaches second grade and says she gets regular treatments. She says, “I think its great for us. I wouldn’t want to see it taken away.”
Meanwhile,there isn't enough money for after school tutoring and some schools have had to stop ordering supplies. 
At Bennett High School, the after-school tutoring that had been offered to students all year long has stopped.

Teachers at International School 45 -- and Bennett, and four other schools -- no longer have permanent subs assigned to their building so that they can attend professional development sessions or have time during the day to coordinate lessons with their colleagues.

And ordering most new supplies has ground to a halt at six of Buffalo's lowest-performing schools.
 Besides the ridiculous medical benefits teacher's unions negotiated, the Buffalo school system lost $9.3 million in federal funds because teachers unions wouldn't agree to a reasonable evaluation system. 
Why are the city's most struggling schools being hit by spending cuts in the middle of the school year?
In January, the state education commissioner suspended $9.3 million in federal funds because Buffalo had failed to submit adequate agreements with its unions for principal and teacher evaluations. District officials say they hope revised union agreements will be good enough to persuade the state to restore the funding. But in the meantime, they are taking steps to cut back on spending at those schools -- a move that is causing concern.

Video: Demo Rep. Corrine Brown (D - FL3) teaches southern Ebonics or something

This woman earned a master's degree in 1971 and an educational specialist degree from the University of Florida in 1974? That must have been some serious affirmative action. Just watch the video and listen as Rep. Corrine Brown speaks on the House floor. She can't form a sentence correctly and repeatedly says "Go gata." Corrine Brown represents a "Minority Majority" district that stretches from Jacksonville to Orlando. They should be ashamed to have this woman represent them in Congress.

Shameful: Alan Grayson Clipped Dan Webster Quote for Opposite Meaning

Rep. Alan Grayson has ran the most despicable campaign ads of the year. One impugned Webster's patriotism. That one was determined to be blatantly false by Fact Check. Then, Grayson released an ad painting Webster as a religious zealot and calling him "Taliban Dan." The ad has a clip of Dan Webster saying the part of the biblical verse "Wives Submit to me." A clip of Webster repeating this phrase is repeated four times in a thirty second ad. Grayson not only took this out of context, but used it for the exact opposite meaning of which it was intended. You can see the video below that this quote was snipped from. In it, Webster actually say husbands should not pray for their wives to submit to them.



Alan Grayson is the lowest form of political life in this country. Throw him out of office.

Shameful! US Immigration Plans To Refuse To Process Illegals Caught By Arizona Police!


John Morton, assistant secretary of homeland security for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Assistant secretary of homeland security for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, John Morton has announced the Obama administration has no intention of enforcing the law. He told the Chicago Tribune that INS would not process illegals referred to them by Arizona authorities. This is a shameful day in American history. What happened to their Constitutional oaths?

FOX News reported:
A top Department of Homeland Security official reportedly said his agency will not necessarily process illegal immigrants referred to them by Arizona authorities.

John Morton, assistant secretary of homeland security for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, made the comment during a meeting on Wednesday with the editorial board of the Chicago Tribune, the newspaper reports.

“I don’t think the Arizona law, or laws like it, are the solution,” Morton told the newspaper...

Shameful: No Fly List Has Only 4000 Names


Most people believe Al Qaeda has thousands of members. The US has a terrorist watch list of 550,000 people. Why is the no fly list only 4000? Why hasn't President Obama added the other 500,000 people with suspected terrorist ties to the list?

The NYT reported:
The embassy sent a cable to Washington that resulted in Mr. Abdulmutallab’s name being entered in a broad database of 550,000 people with possible ties to terrorism. But he was not put on the much smaller no-fly list of 4,000 people, or a list of 14,000 people who require additional screening before flying, nor was his multiple-entry visa to the United States revoked.
