Donald Trump’s foreign policy was, during his first term, not only successful; it was the most successful foreign policy of any president since Ronald Reagan. Yet thanks to their animus for Trump personally, pseudo-experts on foreign policy have refused to give Trump credit for his obvious wins: a quiescent Russia, a contained Iran, Middle Eastern peace accords between Israel and several of its Arab neighbors, an increasingly isolated China, and burgeoning liberty movements in South America. Instead, these supposed geniuses suggest that Trump’s foreign policy is haphazard, dangerous, unhinged. They long for the purported calm of Democratic foreign policy, based on specious nostrums about democracy, lack of enforcement mechanisms, and endless negotiations that result in more conflict. In reality, Trump’s foreign policy has always been straightforward and effective. That’s become utterly clear, thanks to his foreign policy picks for his second term: Pete Hegseth for defense secretary, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., for secretary of state; Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla., for national security adviser; John Ratcliffe for CIA director; and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee for ambassador to Israel, among others. Each of these foreign policy picks shares a particular vision of America in the world: They reflect a Trump Doctrine. That doctrine is simple. As Trump himself expressed it to me on my show some two weeks before the election, “Our policy is very simple: peace through strength. We had no wars—and I’m not an isolationist—I helped a lot of countries. I kept countries out of war.” This policy can be expressed in a few key propositions. First, America’s interests are paramount. America first does not mean that America ignores the rest of the world. It means that the interests of American citizens ought to be the chief concern of the American government. That ought to be a truism. Those interests include everything from the freedom of the seas, which guarantees America’s economic supremacy, to the strength of American allies in contentious regions, sufficient to counter external threat without direct American intervention. Second, America’s interests must be carefully calibrated to our investment in them. If we have only a weak interest in democracy in a far-flung land, we ought not pretend that Wilsonian bromides suffice as a rationale for heavy investment. All resources are scarce resources—none scarcer or more precious than the blood and treasure of the American military. Self-deception about the ease of war is dangerous. If we’re going to draw a red line, it ought to be a red line. As President Joe Biden learned, saying “no” is no substitute for actual foreign policy. Third, all measures and means necessary to achieve America’s interests are on the table. Such measures and means range from crushing the economic wherewithal of America’s enemies to credibly threatening military force when necessary. The ancient Latin adage “Si vis pacem, para bellum”—that is, “If you want peace, prepare for war”—is a key principle for the Trump Doctrine. What’s more, war is ugly and cannot be made antiseptic. That means that America’s might, when unleashed, must be calibrated toward victory, rather than hamstrung by niceties and pieties. The most humane war—if any war is to be fought—is the shortest and most victorious. In short, the Trump Doctrine says: F— around, find out. Fourth, all of this ought to be publicly proclaimed. If our enemies know our principles, they will avoid the fight. War occurs when one side retains the hope of victory—either through sheer capacity or through the increasing weakness of will of the other side. America must broadcast both our capacity and our will. Doing so leaves no room for the errors that end in war. Trump has followed these principles to the letter across both of his administrations. And what has followed has been the most peaceful administration in modern American history. The Trump Doctrine will continue to bring increasing peace so long as it is implemented. And by all indicators, President Trump is determined to do so over the next four years. COPYRIGHT 2024 CREATORS.COM We publish a variety of perspectives.

Two weeks ago, I wrote: “There seems to be only one thing about which all Americans agree … that something is very wrong in our nation.” My point then was that all the polling data has been pointing in one direction—Americans of all persuasions are not happy with what’s happening in, and the direction of, our country. Now we see, despite all the pessimism about the state of American democracy, that it works. Why be surprised about the blowout of the incumbent party when, for most of Joe Biden‘s presidency, the percentage of Americans saying they are satisfied with the direction of the country hovered around 20%. And when, after the early months of his presidency, Biden’s approval ratings tanked and for the remaining time, the gap between his disapproval and approval hovered between 10 to 15 percentage points. As former Reagan speechwriter Ken Khachigian noted in The Wall Street Journal, Vice President Kamala Harris drove a stake into her candidacy when in an appearance on ABC’s “The View” she said nothing came to mind that she would have “done differently than President Biden.” Gallup started asking about satisfaction with the direction of the country in 1979. The highest it’s ever been was 71% in February 1999. In Trump’s first term, satisfaction reached 41%, the highest it had been in 15 years. Then, to the misfortune of the then and future President Donald Trump, COVID-19 hit.  So, my answer to the tsunami of commentary about what happened in this election is that Americans are not happy and are sufficiently vibrant and healthy to step up and say “enough.” As I said in my column two weeks ago, the only thing most Americans seem to agree about is that things are not good. Now that the status quo has been rejected, where do we go? I will repeat what I have been saying for a long time. A country that is fiscally bankrupt, culturally bankrupt, and morally bankrupt is not a country with a future. The great news that I see is that those with a great stake in the country’s future—our youth, our working class, and lower- and middle-income Americans, and our non-white Americans whose votes have always been disproportionately on the left, for Democrats—shifted in a meaningful way to Trump and Republicans. Regarding the surge to the right by young men of all colors, my take is they are unhappy with a feminized culture of victimhood, wokeness, and moral relativism. I am not talking about manhood in a macho sense, but in the true sense of masculinity—to step up and take responsibility, to work, to build, and to create. They are getting that the critical element of manliness is not taking control of others but of taking control of oneself. The headline from the exit polls is decisive dissatisfaction with the economy, and all these votes went to Trump. They will all agree with the tax cuts. But how about spending cuts? We must shrink the long and heavy hand of government to recapture the economic growth of years gone by. The voting shift among Americans of color is of crucial importance. The country is becoming less and less white. Seventy-one percent of the 2024 vote was white voters. When Ronald Reagan was elected president in 1980, 88% of voters were white. Less than half the children in K-12 in America’s public schools are white. We need Americans of color to walk away from the culture of victimhood and embrace the culture of freedom and personal responsibility. America needs these Americans of color, and these Americans of color need the values that built the country. Regarding the Democratic Party, I would not liken it to a bankrupt company. A company in bankruptcy needs to reorganize and do its business more efficiently. The Democratic Party is very efficient. Its problem is it’s selling the wrong product.

Do you want a livestock guardian dog or a herd dog as a work dog for your homestead? Didn't know there was a difference? There is, a huge on actually. In fact, in all likelihood, you need both types of traditional farm working dogs on your homestead or survival retreat. Work Dog On The Homestead: The Best In What They Do Livestock guard dogs (LGDs) protect your livestock and by extension, your homestead, from predators. These dogs are typically very large and very protective of just not the livestock, but the entire family – but do NOT live with the humans inside the home. Herd dogs work the land and animals by day but tend to live with the family at night. These breeds are high energy and commonly have only two speeds – 100 MPH or zero – and snoozing, after putting in many hours doing necessary work around the homestead. Best Herding Dog Breed   Blue and red heelers, or a blue and red mix as shown in the photo, are extremely agile dogs. There is no where livestock can roam that the dogs cannot follow and herd them away from – or alert you to the location where the animal has become stuck. Blue or Red Heelers are the absolute best herding dog around. The number of hours of work we would have to put in on our 56-acre homestead without our brother/sister pair of blue heelers is staggering to even think about. The epitome of the herd dog breeds is also commonly referred to as Australian Cattle Dogs, Australian Heelers, and Queensland Heelers. They were bred specifically for the task of herding and predator detection by Australian farmers in the Outback through a series of trial and error. Australian sheep farmers who grew tired of losing valuable time herding their livestock and coming up shy on their herd count due to wanderers killed by predators or that strayed too far to find, mixed together various traditional domesticated and wild canine breeds until they came up with the perfect combination. Modern red or blue heelers stem from an ancestry of dingo, collie, keplie, bull terrier, and even Dalmation heritage. The meidum size dogs are known for their excellent endurance and agility. They commonly live to reach 13 to 15 years old. Australian Cattle Dogs must be both physically and mentally stimulated to have a fulfilled existence. Bad behaviors from this breed only present themselves when the homesteading dogs become bored from a lack of activity or when penned in a confined space. Heelers demand, and thrive, on both mental and physical stimulation. Folks who just love the beautiful look of the dogs and their affectionate and loyal nature will be so very sorely disappointed and frustrated with the breed if they think a daily walk around the block and suburban backyard will fulfill their needs. They are very intelligent dogs and learn very quickly. During their first 12 months you simply must expect them to be hyper – there is just no other way to put it. Our vet told us if we could survive the first year Jovie and her brother, Ruger, would be the best dogs we ever welcomed into our family – and he was right. Blue heeler love having a companion to herd the livestock with – and to but off excess energy after the work day is through. The heelers got their familiar moniker due to the way they herd large livestock, by nipping them on the heel. They will never, ever, allow a horse, goat, sheep, cow, steer, calf – or even an ornery bull to stray from exactly where they belong. They do not injure the livestock with their herding techniques but get their point across just the same. Do not be shocked if the heeler attempts to herd you as well. It took a few months to teach Jovie there was absolutely no need to imprint her teeth onto the heel of my cowboy boots to keep me moving! It took me only about an hour to teach Jovie and Ruger (separately) that my chickens and ducks were not a snack but critters they were in charge of keeping nearby and protecting. If a hawk swoops within six feets of the ground to try to snatch a chicken or duck, the “majestic” bird of prey will wind up being the snack instead of having one. In spite of their herding work dog nature, they are incredibly gentle with children and loyal – as in, they will often fall asleep on your feet to make sure you don't dare make a move which they are not aware. Blue and red heelers are constantly on guard. Both their vision and hearing is top notch, allowing them to notice a predator is near long before the livestock they are tasked with watching over and herding, is placed in jeopardy. Male blue and red heelers commonly weigh about 33 to 35 pounds. Female Australian Cattle Dogs commonly weight approximately 31 to 35 pounds.  Jovie, my “spunky beast”  was the giant of her liter and weighs about 60 pounds of pure muscle. The males of the breed routinely reach about 20 inches tall with females staning just an inche or two shorter. Blue heelers (or red) will climb right into bed with you if you let them -telling them they are off duty for the day will not suffice. if not permitted to snuggle at night, they will prefer to sleep on the floor right next to their human so they are ready to roll once your feet hit the floor. Heelers are a one-person dog. While they will love and protect the entire family with the every ounce of their being, they will claim only one soul as their human and listen to that person's commands with an absolute sense of duty and be their shadow until their dying day. Best Livestock Guardian Dog Breed Livestock guardian dogs are strictly outdoor animals who live with the herd or flock and protect it during the dangerous nighttime hours and throughout the day. These lovable beasts sleep in the barn or in a dog box next to the chicken coop or small livestock pens. Multiple livestock guardian dogs are commonly found on farms and homesteads. They live and amicably work together while keeping a keen eye on the chickens, ducks, sheep, goats, cattle, and horses. They quickly learn their territory and will fight to the death to protect it. The livestock guardian dogs form a tight bond with the animals they are tasked with protecting, even at an early age. The Great Pyrenees is far and above the best of all great livestock guardian dogs. Some keepers of this breed even brag they have not had to coop-up their poultry anymore because their beloved Great Pyrs does such a great job of teaching deadly predators farm avoidance and patrols its territory with a ferocious sense of duty like a canine Marine. There is little to no training involved when it comes to teaching a Great Pyrenees to protect the livestock and to learn its territory – such behavior simply comes natural to them. They are incredibly gentle giants who inherently know the difference between predators and pets and livestock commony found on the homestead. These livestock guardian dogs will be sweet and tolerant of your little ones – and stand until their final breath between them and danger. They eagerly accept affection and remain patient when their humans and the pets which follow them around the farm, come into their domain. The Great Pyrs just always seems to know how much force is necessary to thwart an unwanted visitor to the homestead. They simply cannot be tricked away from their herd by a clever predator that wants to double back and have a snack or pave the way for another pack member to do the same. And yes, they will also protect their herd/flock and human family from unwelcome two-legged predators as well. While these dogs are quite active as puppies, their apparent demeanor changes substantially by adulthood. They do LOVE a good nap – but always keep one eye and both ears open so they are ready if dangers present itself. The only downside to having a Great Pyrenees as a livestock guardian dog – other than their massive appetite, is frequent barking if not corrected from the annoying behavior by the time they are eight months to one year old. Great Pyrenees dogs typically have a life span of 10 to 12 years. Males commonly grow to be about 32 inches tall and females reach a height of 29 inches. Male Grat Pyrs weigh approximately 110 to 120 pounds on average and females grow to be about 80 to 90 pounds. Real Dog Supreme shows us a video on the Great Pyrenees as a great guardian family dog: Having both a livestock guardian dog and a herding dog on your hometead is ideal, but if the budget allows only for one dog on the homestead, go with a blue heeler herding dog. While this would leave your herd or flock vulnerable at night, unless you could pull off training them to live with their protectees, and that will not be easy, you get the overall best of both worlds.

Dana Bash's Husband Calls for CIA Officers to Commit Treason

Euro 'Democracy' Update: Banning AfD BEFORE Snap Elections & Declaring Le Pen Ineligible

Talk about election denialism! A whiny columnist for The Chicago Tribune is trying to convince herself that the only reason President-elect Donald Trump won the 2024 election was because of disinformation. Yawn. Sabrina Haake, a freelance columnist for Post-Tribune, a local subsidiary of the Chicago newspaper, wrote one of the dumbest takes on why the American people repudiated the media’s incessant leftist propaganda and elected Trump. “As I see it, Trump didn’t win this election. Disinformation did, demonstrating that the world’s richest men, by funding disinformation, will stop at nothing to end government regulations and taxes, or to defeat democracy itself,” she wrote. Wow, how terrible that people want to limit government overreach! After scolding Americans for making an allegedly “terrible mistake,” the writer advocated for a restructuring of the First Amendment in order to suppress free speech online. Haake equated Trump to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and railed against Americans for embracing “a known monster, someone who sells political violence and hatred, and who tried to overthrow the last election.”  But rather than reflecting on how well each candidate campaigned or the policies they ran on, Haake pinned blame on the social media landscape for spurring the supposedly misinformed right to turn out in droves to vote. “Trump supporters in the U.S. consume right-wing propaganda far more than the rest of the country, which means they were either not informed about Trump’s sinister plans, or Fox and Twitter/X succeeded in scaring them with a firehose of Kamala Harris disinformation.”  Haake even argued for a censorship-friendly interpretation of the Constitution. “First Amendment law needs to catch up with an altered media landscape,” the supposed lawyer screeched. “The First Amendment protects ‘core political speech’ above all other forms of expression. But Musk purchasing Twitter, the world’s town square, only to weaponize it to support his own agenda, and Fox admittedly lying to viewers nonstop to promote Trump, isn’t political speech presumptively entitled to legal protection.”  Ah, so in Haake’s world, those whom she disagrees with don’t necessarily get a guaranteed right to free speech.  Got it. What was revealing about Haake’s mish-mosh of leftist brouhaha was that she ended up spreading disinformation herself while simultaneously claiming to be some sort of truth gatekeeper against disinformation. Nothing made that more clear than her complete gaslighting about the truly decrepit state of the U.S. economy under Biden: We aren’t a hateful nation; we’re a nation that’s been lied to. By Fox, by Russia, by Musk. We have the strongest economy in the world, we recovered post-COVID better than any other advanced economy, unemployment is low, and the Biden stock market hit more records than Trump’s, yet Fox, Musk and Russia convinced half the country that we’re in economic peril. According to AP VoteCast’s sweeping survey and other network exit polls, most voters were focused on a ‘crumbling’ economy, and they broke hard for Trump. Of course, Haake mentioned nothing about how the majority of Americans are struggling to pay their bills, suffering from record credit card debt, and spending thousands of dollars more a year just to maintain the same standard of living they had in January 2021.  She also conveniently left out the crucial factoid that inflation is “also making stock markets appear stronger than they really are and cutting into returns for everyone, including those with retirement accounts,” as Heritage Foundation Senior Research Associate Alexander Frei noted in an Oct. 31 column. In addition, Economist Dan Mitchell’s September 2024 analysis of a Census Bureau report on U.S. income concluded that “families are still worse off than they were before the pandemic.” But Haake, true to form, tried to dismiss any discontent with the current Biden economy as the voters just being stupid. “Economists have observed that the gap between voters’ positive perceptions of their own financial health, compared to their negative perceptions of the country’s economic health, is mainly explained by what they are being told by the media,” she condescended. So who’s doing the lying again, Haake? Conservatives are under attack. Contact the Post-Tribune at 312-222-5998 and demand it distance herself from Sabrina Haake’s outrageous call for censorship.

Multiple local and national publications called the U.S. Senate race in Pennsylvania last week for Republican challenger and combat veteran Dave McCormick. Although the writing is on the wall, Sen. Bob Casey, the Democratic incumbent, has refused to admit defeat. Casey's allies are now engaging in the very conduct and echoing the same kind of language that Democrats have spent years condemning. Days after the Wall Street Journal's editorial board claimed that Marc Elias, elections attorney for the Democratic Party, was "back and trying to steal a Senate seat for Bob Casey," Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley warned that Democratic officials and lawyers "are trying to sow doubt in the democratic process." That doubt is sure to grow now that the state is holding a recount and Democrats are pushing to count illegal ballots. Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt announced Wednesday that the unofficial results, with Philadelphia's legal and uncontested ballots accounted for, automatically triggered a statewide recount under Pennsylvania law. McCormick reportedly leads Casey by 29,338 votes, 48.93% to 48.50%. To avoid a recount, the Republican senator-elect would need to lead his opponent by 0.5%. Schmidt indicated that after completing their initial counts, counties must begin the recount by no later than Nov. 20, then report the results to the state secretary by Nov. 27. The cost to the taxpayer of confirming Casey's loss will be in excess of $1 million. McCormick's communications director Elizabeth Gregory noted, "Senator-Elect McCormick's lead is insurmountable, which the AP made clear. A recount will be a waste of time & taxpayer money, but it is Casey's prerogative. McCormick knows what it's like to lose an election & is sure Senator Casey will eventually reach the right conclusion." Mark Harris, McCormick campaign consultant who has repeatedly emphasized there is no path to victory remaining for Casey, tweeted, "Since 2000, no US Senate race up by more than 500 votes has switched leads. Again I am the broken record but there's no path for Casey except wasting $1M+ of taxpayer [money.]" 'STOP the counting of illegal ballots.' "Recounts are shifting a very small number of votes," Deb Otis, director of research and policy at FairVote, told the Associated Press last month. "We're going to see recounts in 2024 that are not going to change the outcome." The Wall Street Journal editorial board indicated Sunday that a recount would afford Marc Elias "a chance to try his legal shenanigans, which are likely to run the gamut from challenging votes for Mr. McCormick to searching for heretofore undiscovered ballots for Mr. Casey." "Mr. Elias helped to steal a Senate seat in Minnesota for Al Franken in 2008 by finding a judge to count previously rejected ballots and overturn the lead of Republican Norm Coleman," continued the Journal. "The Elias method is to look for friendly judges who will rule in his favor. Pennsylvania has a Republican secretary of state who supervises elections but an especially partisan elected Democratic majority on the state Supreme Court. So far Gov. Josh Shapiro and other officials aren’t commenting on Mr. Elias." Whatley vowed to ensure the RNC and Pennsylvania GOP "will have attorneys and observers in every county in the state to ensure only lawful ballots are counted. Again." According to Whatley, the RNC filed two new lawsuits Wednesday evening in Bucks County and with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to "STOP the counting of illegal ballots." Whatley clarified that Bucks County "is once again violating Pennsylvania law, this time by choosing to count undated and incorrectly dated ballots in a race that Dave McCormick has already won." The lawsuit filed by Senator-elect McCormick and the RNC against Bucks County states that the board's decision "is legally erroneous because undated or misdated mail ballots are invalid as a matter of law and cannot be counted in the 2024 General Election — as the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has already made clear." LevittownNow.com reported that the Democrat-controlled Bucks County Board of Elections approved canvassing and counting for most of the nearly 4,500 provisional ballots it has received. The county election board is also counting hundreds of undated and incorrectly dated mail-in ballots even though the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has ruled and reiterated that county election officials cannot count absentee ballots with incorrect or missing dates. State law requires mail-in ballots to be returned in two envelopes — an inner secrecy envelope and an outer envelope on which voters must pen their signatures and the current date. "The Board's baffling decision not to enforce the date requirement and to count noncompliant ballots thus directly contravenes binding Pennsylvania law," continues the complaint. The lawsuit further claims that the county board's decision violates the U.S. Constitution's Equal Protection Clause and the Pennsylvania Constitution. Like Blaze News?

Former NFL player Ryan Clark released a video claiming President Donald Trump had a divisive and bigotry-filled term, while President Barack Obama was graceful and without scandal.Clark's video, posted on his X page, seemingly served as an explainer for the statement he released after Trump won the election, in which he said, "The majority has spoken & Donald Trump is OUR President. I will respect him & his office as such."The former ESPN host and now host for Fanatics said he got a lot of pushback from his "community" regarding his post and proceeded to explain in detail why he doesn't like President Trump. — (@) Clark claimed in his video that after Trump's election, his oldest daughter got up at 7 a.m. and lay in bed with her grandmother and cried. He likened this to many Kamala Harris supporters who felt "sadness" and "depression" because Trump won.He then compared Trump's tenure to that of Obama, stating that Obama represented the United States "with class, and with grace, and with elegance, and with decency."He added that Obama had "no scandals" and no felony charges, while Trump ran a campaign and a presidency based in bigotry and hate.Clark finished by saying that he doesn't "and won't" respect Trump but will respect the office of the president.Many commenters found Clark's own video to be divisive despite his stated intent not to be, specifically since the former athlete hammered home in his caption that when Trump came into office he "empowered" bigotry."After 8 years of being represented with class by President Obama the country decided it needed to be 'Great Again.'" "Bigotry was now empowered straight from the Oval Office," Clark added.However, the former Pittsburgh Steeler revealed that "Trump supporters of all colors" have told him he is wrong about the president.He noted that while he is not optimistic, he will also attempt not tobe divisive. Many readers took issue with this."I can't stress this enough but Obama was the most divisive president of all time. The worst of the worst," one reply stated.I can’t stress this enough but Obama was the most divisive president of all time. The worst of the worst.— Mighty Matt ?? (@HskrsStarsBucs) November 11, 2024 Another reader attempted to point out Clark's hypocrisy for making derogatory claims about Trump while also saying he wasn't going to be divisive himself. “Bigotry was now empowered straight from the Oval Office”“Since, I want good for us all I won’t be divisive.”?♂️— Nick Dreyer (@nrdreyer0) November 12, 2024 Clark's tactic of rattling off claims about the president without context or rebuttal has become a go-to for many of his detractors. Noting his felony charges and impeachments in such a manner appears to be more of a signal by Clark to his supporters that he is is with them rather than a sign that he is truly open to understanding his political opponents.Like Blaze News?

“Make America Healthy Again” was a winning message for Trump’s campaign, especially considering the government appears to have been making America as unhealthy as possible over the past four years. “There’s been such a groundswell across political categories of Americans who, just looking around, they can tell that people are spiritually and physically unwell, that there’s a pandemic of sorts of just real unfitness in America, and they’re suspicious of their food, they’re suspicious of vaccines,” James Poulos of “Zero Hour” tells Senator Rand Paul. Paul agrees, telling Poulos that “the government needs to turn over a new leaf and try being honest.” “Because of their vast dishonesty, people are hesitant. People don’t believe the government any more, and I’ll give you an example of why they probably shouldn’t,” he adds, before citing the COVID response as the primary reason. “The vaccine committees that came forward to approve a booster vaccine for COVID, they really recommended only for over 65, or those who are at risk for COVID. The Biden administration, though, came forward and said, ‘No, your 6-month-old should take it. Everybody from 6 months of age and up should take this COVID vaccine,’” he continues. “Well, when you do the investigation, you find that the vaccine is actually of greater risk to a young person, to a child, a toddler, adolescent, teenager, young adult, than the disease,” he adds. But why wouldn’t they warn the American people that the cure may be more dangerous than the disease? Because that’s not how the pharmaceutical companies, who worked with the federal government to make the vaccines, make their money. “It appears as if the government perhaps is more concerned with the profit of Pfizer and Moderna than they are actually with the truth,” Paul says, adding, “People are suspecting everything the government tells them, because we’ve had such a spate of dishonesty.” Want more from James Poulos?To enjoy more of James's visionary commentary on politics, tech, ideas, and culture, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

A furious Southern California high school teacher who freaked out in a classroom over a student wearing a hat in support of President-elect Donald Trump has been placed on leave.The Chino Valley Unified School District placed the English teacher on leave after a recording of his rant surfaced, KCAL-TV reported Wednesday.'The district policy is that you are not allowed to wear hats in class, and it is required of a student to remove them in class. The student refused to do so.'KTTV-TV said the outbursts from the "popular teacher" at Chino High School came the day after last week's presidential election.Corey DeAngelis, senior fellow at the American Culture Project, posted snippets of the teacher's outbursts on X."A child molester, huh?" the teacher said on one video clip. "Vote for that freaking rapist. ... I'm sorry, guys. I'm sorry. I have a daughter, I have three nieces, and he'd rape them, and people are voting for him. Christians are voting for him. Bunch of losers. Fake Christians."The teacher said in another clip, "I'm pissed, people voting for a freaking rapist, and I'm pissed off" before adding, "I don't care, fire the hell out of me. I'm fighting for my daughter, my nieces, their rights."The teacher is heard in another clip hollering to "turn it off and ... go back to your freaking seat now! Go!" Immediately afterward, the teacher is heard speaking — presumably on a phone or intercom, "Can you send security up, please? ... I have a boy who has a Trump hat on, and I'm not gonna tolerate it today, bye bye." In that same clip, the teacher then appears to speak to a student: "I don't care if you have a Harris hat or a Trump hat, you're outta here. You know better. Tell [Principal John] Miller, 'I should have the right to vote for a rapist and a child molester,' go for it, go for it. I don't give a F!"'This has made a lot of students very sad because it makes the school look bad. Because it makes it look like we have crazy teachers here when we don't.'In another clip — in which he seems to be out of breath — the teacher snaps at another student, "Excuse me! What's wrong with me?" When the student appears to ask what the other student's hat said, the teacher replies, "Trump. The rapist. Even Trumpers don't deny it; they just vote for him ... gonna get rid of 20 million immigrants. ... You know who should get out? You know who owns this land? ... Native Americans."Students stage a walkoutKCAL said dozens of Chino High School students left their classrooms Wednesday during their second and third periods to support their teacher, whom they hadn't seen since the incident."The district policy is that you are not allowed to wear hats in class, and it is required of a student to remove them in class," one of the protesting students, Bridget Moore, told KCAL. "The student refused to do so."KCAL said the school district confirmed that hats aren't permitted in classrooms.However, Chino Valley Unified School District board president Sonja Shaw told KTTV previously that while the school has a dress code, it refers to indecent exposure and hate language — and that a Trump hat "is not out of code.""We had many students wearing T-shirts supporting both sides of the political debate in several schools without issue," Shaw added to KTTV.KCAL added that hundreds of students signed an online petition in support of the teacher in question, saying the recordings of his meltdown don't show what led up to it."He deserves to know everybody cares about him and shouldn't lose his job over something a student caused," another protesting student Katrina Munoz told KCAL.The students who took part in the walkout were marked not present for class, KCAL added."This has made a lot of students very sad because it makes the school look bad," Moore also told KCAL. "Because it makes it look like we have crazy teachers here when we don't."You can view a video report here about the controversy.We have a trifectaWith the Chino High School teacher getting placed on leave, that means all of the anti-Trump teachers Blaze News has covered this week — so far, at least — have seen their meltdowns ending badly.Indeed, a Connecticut special-education teacher who threatened Trump voters in a viral video has resigned. Annie Dunleavy of Chapman Elementary School in Cheshire spoke in person with WTNH-TV in the aftermath, tearfully at times trying to explain herself.Also, a teacher at a different Southern California public high school who went on a profane rant in his Advanced Placement world history class against Trump the day after the election was placed on administrative leave.Like Blaze News?
