Teachers ‘instructed’ to teach ‘all right wing extremist groups’ are fascist
11:44 PM 01/18/2014
Hillsdale professor Terrence Moore, author of “Story Killers: A Common Sense Case Against Common Core,” exposed some of the more distressing aspects of the controversial Common Core education
standards program, saying that all teachers must tell young students that all right-wing groups are fascist.
Moore highlights how it is not just the reading lists and course materials — which have already attracted a large amount of criticism — that need to be examined by parents. It’s also the teaching notes and standard curriculum; the notes and standards come as part of a comprehensive package. Moore noted through his research that a distinctly political slant is introduced, one which dictates not only what children are taught, but also how they should be taught.
“For example, take the novel Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, which is a great classic, we all know it,” he told The Daily Caller in an exclusive interview. “Just because it’s part of our culture.”
Moore calls Common Core and what goes on in school “frightening” and “monstrous.”
“What they do is give you about three or four pages of Mary Shelley, not a selection from Frankenstein, but just writing about Frankenstein, and then you will have four or five of a modern author talking about frightening stories that she heard as a child that have no relation to Frankenstein. You might see a picture from a 1950′s movie of Frankenstein Monster. The teacher will ask the class to dress up as Frankenstein sometimes to actually write an autobiography of a monster so you put yourself in the position of a monster. Why? Because monsters are never properly understood. So to figure out what it means to be a monster you have to put yourself in the monster’s shoes. I’m not making this up.
“Then on top of that, and this is in a leading text book they have five and a half pages, two more pages than the words you get from Mary Shelley, five and a half pages of a skit from Saturday Night Live on Frankenstein.”
In the skit, Moore explains, an actor makes a comment about Frankenstein having green skin. That the skit is concluded by Frankenstein saying, “Oh, so this is a race thing? What are you guys? A bunch of fascists?”
Moore also details teaching standards and notes about what the teacher wants to do at that point in the class.

5 minute-4 ingredient no bake cheesecake
Just a little whipped cream on top
Source: Bing Images
Gluten and color free
I
have always loved this recipe, my grandmother passed it down to me when
I started my own family. She would always make the creamiest, most
fabulous cheesecakes in church. Every time there was a pot luck, this is
what she would make. Years later as an adult, a mother and apparently,
the new cook of the family, this is still what I make. So if you want
this easy recipe to be your "specialty" come the holidays, here you go.
Ingredients-
1 can of sweetened condensed milk (14 oz.)
1 8 ounce tub of cool whip
1/3 cup of lemon or lime juice
1 8 ounce package of cream cheese.
Most important part of this recipe, is to leave the cream cheese out for a couple hours at room temperature. The cream cheese will become soft and smooth. The importance of this is to create a smooth texture. Not doing so, will create horrible lumps of cream cheese that will ruin the flavor of this pie.
After your cream cheese is softened enough, I like to see if it will spread easily with a plastic spatula. In a mixing bowl, mix all before mentioned ingredients. Please note: the lemon/lime juice must come last. The reaction of the citrus juice will start to harden your mixture almost immediately.
On the low speed of you hand mixer, blend well. Around 2 minutes of so is plenty, just make sure all ingredients are incorporated. Immediately pour mixture into a waiting graham crust or for those of us that can't have the gluten, I opt for muffin cups. Refrigerate for an hour to and hour and a half. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Add-ons-Make it your own!
To make this recipe your own, there are several things you can add.Oreo cookie crust. Incorporate a few of the cookies in to the batter, smashed of course. Top with a few whole or halved cookies as well.
Fresh strawberries, with or without glaze. I like to cut the strawberries up in to quarters and place in a zip-lock bag. Gently whacking the bag of berries on the counter a few times to start releasing the juices. A half an hour later, you have a no fuss, no extra sugar strawberry topping and glaze. Although a little vanilla in bag wouldn't hurt anything.
Key lime juice instead of regular. This will give you a tart cheesecake, more like a key lime bar if you lessen the cool whip content. About half is needed for recipe, although the more that is used, the lighter and fluffier the taste and texture will be.
Morning Coffee News
"Excuse me sir." "Yes, what is it, can't you see I am busy." I tried to mask the derision I felt rising in my face, "Sir, you can't really call this 'Morning Coffee News' when it's 12:57 pm" "Oh, really" "Well, you could have fooled me.
"What do these folks want?" "They want to know what you are doing." "I am looking for some music to play for the 'Noon Time Music Hour'."
"Wow, how are you going to top that?" I Believe, I just did.
And here comes another one.
This ones a Heart Breaker as she has taken her own life. To late to notice her now.

Should We Try This Again?
Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.
Does anybody remember what this was for? Even Blogger does not recognize this phrase. With each passing year I keep telling myself that I am going to switch my energies to blogging instead of Facebook. And it doesn't last very long, does it. I only have to remind myself that Edison tried how many times before he perfected the light bulb? A couple, nope. A few hundred? Nope. 10,000? At least. So, here we go again.
There are a lot of new gadgets on Blogger now that weren't here before and I suppose I should look for a tutorial to take a once over or I'll be stumbling over myself. Let's try a picture?
This is Charlie's Find the Hidden Object. And is he ever good at it. He definitely does not need glasses because he finds them faster and even those I can't. He went through this book fast.
Wow, it shows up in HTML, Which of course we all know stands for Hold The Mayonnaise and Lettuce. I may just start a brand new Blog because this one has a bunch of stuff that I have accumulated on here since 2003. Yes, 10 years. But I could use this one to perfect my trade and temperament on. Ok, this seems enough for openers.
