Republican State Senator Says Teachers Must be ‘Impartial’ When Teaching about Nazism and Fascism

During an Indiana state Senate committee hearing about a proposed bill that would ban “divisive concepts” in school classrooms, Republican Sen. Scott Baldwin said teachers’ lessons about fascism and Nazism need to be “impartial.” Sen. Baldwin, who co-wrote the bill, added that “I have no problem with the education system providing instruction on the existence of those ‘isms,’ ” but “I believe that we’ve gone too far when we take a position. We need to be impartial.”

Now, in all fairness, Sen. Baldwin said the point of his bill, is to allow students to “formulate their own viewpoints.” Well, then, in that same spirit - I would assume the good senator would have no problem with kids forming their own “viewpoints” about folks like, say - Jeffrey Dahmer. After all, we must remain impartial, and I’m sure there must be people out there somewhere, who feel deeply that Dahmer was simply a misunderstood, avant-garde, gourmet chef - and children need to be aware that there’s also that side of his story.

That said, I suppose we really ought to be grateful to Republicans for their efforts to broaden our horizons. Take these Nazis he mentions, for example. Why, who knew the practice of torturing, killing, and maiming people in murderous death camps, simply because of their race, politics, disabilities, sexual preferences, or religious beliefs - had another side to it? Why, I wonder if this Republican legislation will also require teachers to bring in outside speakers? You know, folks representing “both sides” of this whole Nazism/Fascism/Holocaust issue.

The truth is, these attempts at “impartiality” are really kind of touching. Wonder how “impartial” he feels about things like Critical Race Theory, or Donald Trump’s attempt to overthrow our democracy? My guess is, he’s not feeling quite that “impartial” about those issues. Just a hunch! That said, and you can call me old-fashioned, but I’ve always considered Nazism and fascism as pure evil, so should anyone ever try and tell you that we should discuss Nazism and fascism “impartially,” just know that you’re looking right into the eyes - of a real-live Nazi.

GOP Lawmaker Says Trump’s Conduct Crosses Impeachment Threshold

GOP Lawmaker Says Trump’s Conduct Crosses Impeachment Threshold: Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.), has become the first Republican congressman to publicly state that, based on the Mueller Report - the President “engaged in impeachable conduct.” Rep. Amash further added that Attorney General Barr “deliberately misrepresented” the Mueller Report’s findings to congress and to the American public. Oh boy! One can only imagine the 3 AM tweet storm that’s gonna emanate from Trump’s porcelain throne over this level of betrayal. I’ll tell you another thing, disloyalty of this magnitude to the Cult of Trump isn’t likely to set well in America’s trailer parks either. But then again, what else is new? After all, Republicans have never viewed reality as being in their best interests. Now, I have no idea how all this is gonna finally go down, but I do know one thing - Justin Amash is definitely not gonna get an invite to Donald Trump's next wedding....

Self-Described Prophet and Pastor Warns Critics They Risk Leprosy

Self-Described Prophet and Pastor Warns Critics They Risk Leprosy: After numerous prophecies of his failed to materialize, resulting in various accusations of lies and fraud, self-described “prophet” and right-wing pastor Hank Kunneman of “One Voice Ministries” warned fellow Christians that they "better be very careful" about criticizing "prophets" like him, because "It's a dangerous place, and some of you might get leprosy.” Wow, leprosy? That’s one helluva threat! Now, while I wasn’t there, my guess is that it all came down something like this - some critic calls out God’s “prophet” Kunneman for his bogus claims, then further challenges him by declaring “You want a piece of me, then come and get it!” Then God gave that critic leprosy - and that “piece of him” just fell right off. Now, on a personal note, I’ve also been a vocal critic of Kunneman’s ministry for a long time now, and I can happily report that I haven’t come down with “leprosy.” Alth...

Nigerian President Denies Dying and Being Replaced by a Clone

Nigerian President Denies Dying and Being Replaced by a Clone: Speaking at a recent conference, Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari denied claims that he had died and been replaced by a Sudanese impostor or a clone, breaking his silence on a rumor that has been circulating on social media for months. Wait a minute, I think I saw that movie - “ Weekend at Muhammadu’s. ” And, if I remember correctly - wasn’t it was a Sudanese actor who played the lead? Who do they think they’re kidding anyway? After all, I wasn’t born yesterday! Now, of course, I’m sitting out here in California - so I have no sure-fire way to confirm or deny all these rumors, but I do know one thing - if you can’t believe Nigerian e-mails and social media posts, what the hell can you believe? https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com
