I’d like to begin by addressing the heinous attack on the United States Capitol. Like all Americans, I am outraged by the violence, lawlessness and mayhem. I immediately deployed the National Guard and federal law enforcement to secure the building and expel the intruders. America is and must always be a nation of law and order. To demonstrators who infiltrated the Capitol: you have defiled the seat of American democracy.

I’d like to begin by addressing the heinous attack on the United States Capitol. Like all Americans, I am outraged by the violence, lawlessness and mayhem.

I am here to deliver this message on behalf of the entire White House. Let me be clear: The violence we saw yesterday at our nation’s Capitol was appalling, reprehensible, and antithetical to the American way. We condemn it — the President and this administration — in the strongest possible terms. It is unacceptable, and those that broke the law should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

While some families, especially those with financial means, have been able to mitigate school disruptions through in person options such as homeschooling, private schools, charter schools, and innovative models like microschools and “learning pods,” for many families, their children’s residentially assigned public school remains their only financially available option. Unfortunately, more than 50 percent of all public-school students in the United States began school remotely this fall. These children, including those with special needs, are being underserved due to the public education system’s failure to provide in-person learning options. Students whose families pay tuition for their education are also facing significant hardships due to the economic disruptions caused by the pandemic.

A nonprofit organization that advocates for families is accusing Fairfax County teachers union officials of violating Virginia law that prohibits public-sector strikes when the union organized with hundreds of teachers to take a mental health sick day in October. According to Virginia law, a public-sector employee is deemed to have terminated his or her employment if the employee refuses to perform his or her duties as a means to obstruct, impede or suspend an operation of the government employer in concert with two or more employees. The law states such a person will not be eligible for employment by a public agency for 12 months after the strike.

Control of the U.S. Senate -- and the future of our nation -- all comes down to Georgia

WATCH: “Save America, Stop Socialism”

December 27, 2020 by admin in Election News

Control of the U.S. Senate — and the future of our nation — all comes down to Georgia’s January 5 runoff elections.

A hard-hitting ad from the Stop Socialism Now PAC lays out what is at stake. “Imagine: Biden and Harris in the White House, Pelosi as Speaker, and Schumer runs the Senate — all because Georgia lost our two Senate runoff seats to Democrats Jon Ossof and Rafael Warnock,” Congresswoman-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene says in the ad.

December 26, 2020 by admin in News

Rush Limbaugh’s final broadcast of 2020 aired nationwide on Wednesday. The show looked back on the year, to include Limbaugh’s ongoing battle with advanced, “stage IV” lung cancer. “I wasn’t expected to make it to October and then to November and then to December,” Limbaugh noted. “And yet here I am.” In keeping with tradition, Limbaugh concluded his year-end show with Mannheim Steamroller’s “Silent Night.” As the music began, the legendary host shared the following message with his millions of listeners…

Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJHSST) has maintained its standards for demonstrated excellence, particularly in STEM disciplines, in great part from its steadfast support of the Fairfax County Business Community and individuals who champion academic ability.

Citing the"detrimental effects" of the educational status quo, Fairfax GOP Chairman Steve Knotts is calling for the county

Fairfax Republicans Stand With County Families

December 11, 2020 by admin in Education News

Citing the “detrimental effects” of the educational status quo, Fairfax GOP Chairman Steve Knotts is calling for the county’s government-run schools to reopen their doors — or give out vouchers so families can find alternatives.

“For too many students, virtual learning has been a disaster,” Knotts said today. “Sadly, the detrimental effects of long-term school closures are not confined to academics — the mental health consequences of social isolation are very real.”
