Broward County School Board member Sarah Leonardi appeared to indicate this was an annual event, tweeting: \u201cI was SO honored to be invited to chaperone Wilton Manors Elementary\u2019s field trip to the incredible Rosie\u2019s [Bar and Grill]! The students and I had a fun walk over and learned a lot about our community! A huge thank you to Rosie\u2019s Bar and Grill for hosting this special field trip every year!\u201d The bar\u2019s website promises \u201csassy fun\u201d to all patrons, \u201cwhether you are LBGTQ+ or an ally.\u201d The local media responded by highlighting alleged death threats made to Leonardi, a familiar Judo-like tactic to shut down media criticism and deflect accountability.The embattled Loudoun County, Virginia, school district has required parents to sign a non-disclosure agreement-like document in order to see the curriculum being taught to their children. Parents believe the \u201cSecond Step\u201d curriculum teaches children concepts based on the controversial Critical Race Theory. The policy instructs parents that \u201ccopying, broadcast or recording of any kind is prohibited.\u201dThe president of a school board was caught on a hot mic saying \u201cf*** you\u201d to a concerned parent during a public meeting on Tuesday. Los Alamitos Unified School Board of Education President Marlys Davidson made the remark after a mother in the district,\u00a0Lauren Roupoli, addressed the issue of mask and vaccine mandates. \u201cWe are vocal, because we are our children\u2019s biggest advocates,\u201d Roupoli said to rousing applause, as Davidson dropped the f-bomb. Davidson later expressed regret, telling KTLA, \u201cI reaffirm my commitment to serve our community with dignity and integrity, and I hope they will accept my sincere apology.\u201dLegacy media outlets like CNN and MSNBC, which mock parents as either misinformed or malicious, would do well to cover the real roots of parental backlash: public school administrators\u2019 indefensible actions.2. U.S. government considers paying illegal aliens $450,000 apiece in settlementThe Biden administration is considering paying illegal immigrants between $2.5 and $5.5 billion in reparations for separating adults from their children, the Wall Street Journal reported exclusively on Thursday. \u201cThe Biden administration is in talks to offer immigrant families that were separated during the Trump administration around $450,000 a person in compensation,\u201d or \u201cclose to $1 million a family, though the final numbers could shift.\u201d The ACLU says 994 people of the 5,500 individuals the group has identified as having been separated by DHS have sued the government. Those lawsuits ask for an average of $3.4 million per family. In a separate lawsuit, the ACLU is demanding the government provide the children with \u201cmental-health and other services, along with a permanent legal status,\u201d according to the WSJ.The U.S. is in talks to offer immigrant families separated at the border in 2018 about $450,000 a person in compensation, people familiar with the matter say https:\/\/t.co\/mmY60OIfHy\u2014 The Wall Street Journal (@WSJ) October 28, 2021Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) retweeted the story with the comment, \u201cAbsolutely not.\u201dWhile the media obsessed over President Donald Trump\u2019s policy of putting \u201ckids in cages,\u201d President Joe Biden\u2019s policy of separating families, keeping the children of illegal immigrants in cramped quarters away from their parents, has attracted less media attention.Stephen Miller said the looming settlement represented an act of \u201ccollusion\u201d between the Biden administration and the illegal immigration lobby. \u201cThis is what happens when you go from an America first to an America last presidency.\u201d\u201cThese individuals were put in jail for breaking federal law,\u201d Miller told Laura Ingraham on Fox News Thursday night. \u201cAmerican families who got to jail and are separated get no cash compensation.\u201d\u201cThat\u2019s insane,\u201d Miller said.3.\u00a0 Nancy Pelosi and John Kerry\u2019s politically connected investmentsThe Washington Free Beacon has reported two cases in which Democrats Nancy Pelosi and Climate Envoy John Kerry appear to be benefiting financially from the political policies they advocate. Kerry owns a $1 million stake in Hillhouse China Value Fund L.P., which in turn became the second-largest shareholder in LONGi Green Energy, a Chinese firm that manufactures solar panels. \u201cLONGi has come under fire from human rights groups and U.S. lawmakers for sourcing many of its raw materials from companies suspected of using forced labor in Xinjiang,\u201d reported the WFB. Meanwhile, Kerry has advocated against sanctioning Chinese solar panels. WFB reported:\u201cOn the one hand, we\u2019re saying to [China], \u2018You have to do more to help deal with the climate,\u2019\u201d Kerry said last month. \u201cAnd on the other hand, their solar panels are being sanctioned, which makes it harder for them to sell them.\u201dIs this a conflict of interest? No one in the legacy media seems much interested in finding out.The story takes place at the same time that the Speaker of the House may have her own green energy stock issues. Her husband, Paul, owns \u201cas $1 million of Tesla call options, one of the largest transactions of Tesla shares disclosed by a member of Congress.\u201d Meanwhile, Madam Speaker is promoting President Biden\u2019s \u201cBuild Back Better\u201d act, which will make a massive investment in electric vehicles. \u201cDemocrats\u00a0are proposing\u00a0nearly $120 billion to fund various clean energy projects, and another $34.5 billion dedicated to zero-emission vehicles. The reconciliation bill also\u00a0proposes\u00a0$42 billion in tax credits for purchases of electric vehicles, which Democrats hope will incentivize new car buyers to purchase electric vehicles instead of gas-powered cars,\u201d reported the Beacon. Members of Congress can purchase stocks, but not if the purchase is based on insider information. It\u2019s not clear that is the case here, although at a minimum the stock deal has the appearance of impropriety.These stock issues may be as innocent as Kerry and Pelosi say, but as a matter of potential corruption, they deserve investigation. While the legacy media rightly gave strong coverage to Republicans Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue\u2019s stock history, these cases received much less coverage \u2014 which is to say, virtually none outside WFB.The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":1888416,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-950592","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/950592","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=950592"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/950592\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1888416"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=950592"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=950592"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=950592"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
