INTERESTING: NLRB has begun to end the amateur model of college sports

Dartmouth Athletes Unionize

The Dartmouth men’s basketball team voted to unionize yesterday, the latest step in challenging the long-standing amateur model of college sports. The 13-2 vote means the players will be allowed to negotiate on issues like compensation and working conditions, including practice hours. Dartmouth has until March 12 to file an objection to the union.

Last month, the National Labor Relations Board ruled the players are employees of the university after the varsity players submitted a petition in September to the NLRB requesting to unionize. Dartmouth filed motions last week to ask the NLRB office to reconsider its ruling.

The union vote comes amid a broader effort to cut back restrictions on compensation for student-athletes. The NCAA has historically barred college athletes from receiving compensation beyond scholarships (athletic scholarships are banned in the Ivy League) and some related costs of education. The NCAA proposed in December a new subdivision that would allow some schools to enter into name, image, and likeness deals directly with their students.

Well, it’s about time to end the farce of “amateur student athletes”.  Everyone in this charade is make a lot of money except the athletes.  It’s slavery.

Stay focused on the one thing.

The live newscast chopper footage of Plane #2 purportedly hitting Tower #2.

Can you do it?

Can you focus on that one thing?

I’m gonna break this down a bit more in the next post. Standing on the shoulders of giants, sure…and adding a few more insights.

::raises hand slowly:: is the shibboleth here.

Off the top of my head.

You are a photojournalist in a chopper documenting a historic “accident.”

Flying around the Twin Towers.

Trained and professional news gathering photojournalists do not zoom in to avoid an approaching plane flying directly at the Twin Towers.

This plane would have been visible incoming on the horizon.

Sure. Maybe it was Dolts Botching Shit.

Made it all the way to the big leagues in the Big Apple. Market #1. NYC.

Whooops.

Trained and professional Gleaming Talking Heads do not mistakenly say that noses of planes fly through buildings as we will hear Peter Jennings saying in the next video.

When I ran some of this last year, I asked if the anchor head voiceovers themselves may have been faked.

When I ran the Day Tapes, I asked if anyone could debunk them.

I want to know what is real. Exactly what happened.

And how it got done.

I’m still not sure I believe anything any one says about this tragic event?

There are so many discrepancies.

For me the one that causes me the most consternation is the undamaged passport of one of the terrorits?

That and WTC7’s convenient collapse with all the evidence of Pentagon missing money.

Just all doesn’t add up to me.

ENCOURAGING: Denis Villeneuve makes an end-of-life wish happen

Montreal
Dune: Part Two premiered at Quebec palliative care home to fulfil man’s dying wish

  • Man died before watching ending of movie on filmmaker Denis Villeneuve’s laptop

*** begin quote ***

The work of Quebec filmmaker Denis Villeneuve was shown in a room at a palliative care centre to fulfil the end-of-life wish of a long-time film fan in a special world premiere, well ahead of the official launch.

A man from Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, Que., had an almost impossible final wish when he knew he was at the end of his life. The movie buff said he would like to see the film Dune: Part Two, which was set to be released on March 1, before he died.

He expressed this wish to Josée Gagnon, whose job is to accompany people at the end of life through her company L’Avant.

Sébastien Pilote, a director from the Saguenay region, put Gagnon in touch with Villeneuve, the renowned filmmaker, after she put a call-out on Facebook with the man’s last wish.

Noblesse oblige

Nice to see Hollywood doing something positive. 

It’s a mitzvah.  (Nine out of ten Jews will tell you that mitzvah means doing a good deed.)  “A mitzvah is not just a good deed” — Rabbi Zushe Greenberg

In this case, satisfying a being fan’s wish, connects us all with the beauty of the act.  A connection with the Devine, the Universe, or whatever you call God.

So maybe there are some redeeming qualities in Hollywood.

NEWJERSEY: Don’t we “license” teachers?

Teachers With Sex Abuse History Still Get Hired In NJ, Report Says

  • Teachers with a substantiated history of sexual misconduct are still able to find work in other schools, according to a new state report.

Nicole Rosenthal
Posted Thu, Mar 7, 2024 at 11:38 am ET

*** begin quote ***

NEW JERSEY – A 2018 law created to stop teachers with sexual misconduct and child abuse histories from being hired by other school districts is “rife with weaknesses and deficiencies,” a new state investigation found, and still allows problem educators to hide their past misconduct from their employer schools.

The report, published Tuesday by the State Commission of Investigation, found that problem educators have too much leeway in deciding what information about their past to report to a prospective employer and school officials can misinterpret rules or simply cover up allegations and findings of sexual misconduct after an educator leaves their district. There also isn’t a state agency tasked with ensuring schools and educators are in compliance, nor is there a standardized process for reporting and verifying information about educators with histories of abuse.

*** and ***

New Jersey’s so-called “Pass The Trash” law was signed in April 2018 and mandates school officials notify other school districts about teachers with documented sexual misconduct and other abuse cases. Under the law, schools are required to determine if a candidate was under any past investigations for sexual misconduct or child abuse; schools where the incidents took place must also respond truthfully to districts seeking to employ the same teacher. 

*** and ***

“For years, teachers and school employees in New Jersey who engaged in sexually inappropriate conduct with a student were able to move to other school districts by quietly entering into confidential settlements with their employers that kept their past misdeeds secret.” the report adds. “Numerous reforms are necessary to make the law more effective and less prone to abuse.”

*** end quote ***

It would seem that the local BoE’s politicians and bureaucrats are failing to have the police investigate ALL complaints.  If warranted, criminal charges should be filed and the teacher’s license suspended.  If convicted, revoked … … permanently.  

We see how ineffective drivers’ license revocation is in stopping serial DUI offenders, but, with teachers’ license, it’d be easy to keep them out of classrooms.

Argh!

Thanks to the Patch and Nicole Rosenthal for bringing this to the attention of NJ Taxpayers.  I’ll be asking my various “representatives” for an explanation.  It can be my deciding issue when it comes time to vote.  

I also plan to ask them what they have done to pressure the Federal Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats to end the Gaza humanitarian disaster.  Can’t push enough buttons.  Maybe the Election Day pain will get the message across?

Sigh!

NEWJERSEY: Gooferment kills by roadway mismanagement

I don’t know anyone involved in the accident which occurred this past March 6th, but my heart goes out to Dennis Frick, his wife, children, family & friends. Whether the driver of the Infinity was speeding or not, you will notice that the median is almost completely covered with dirt with grass now growing on it. Looking at a news video of the accident, you can see that the dirt is up to the height of the driver’s door. I phoned Officer Gliottone whose number was given at the bottom of the news article for anyone with any information. He told me that they are aware of the mound of dirt, which acted like a ramp, making the Infinity propel into oncoming traffic, landing on top of Dennis Frick’s pickup truck. He tells me that the family was made aware of this, and it has been reported before to the DOT (Department of Transportation), but nothing has been done about getting rid of this dirt mound against the median, rendering the median not only useless but a danger. He told me that if I file a complaint with the State DOT, it would be of great help to possibly get this taken care of before another accident occurs. 

I then telephoned the State DOT, who in turn told me to call the Community Relations Office at 609-963-1982

Please, everyone, call them to make a complaint to get the median taken care of, and/or, you can write a complaint to “Community Relations Office, 1035 Parkway Ave., Ewing, N.J. 08618 

I formulated a letter below that you can copy and paste to make it easier for you to file a complaint unless you want to formulate a letter of your own. I know it won’t bring Dennis Frick back, but we can possibly save other lives if we all stick together to try to get this deadly danger remedied. Thank you for your help! 

 

Community Relations Office
1035 Parkway Ave.
Ewing, N.J. 08618

RE: Median needs to be cleared on Route 1, New Brunswick, NJ, near the Goodkind Bridge

Dear Community Relations Office:

All medians need to be kept clear. Particularly at Route 1, New Brunswick location near Goodkind Bridge where fatal accident occurred 3/6/24. Dirt which has been allowed to accumulate over time, almost level with the top of the median, caused it to act as a ramp, which propelled the Infinity vehicle over the mound into oncoming traffic, landing on top of Dennis Frick’s pickup truck, killing him. The dirt needs to be dug out & removed immediately. Had median not been neglected, Dennis Frick may still be alive. PLEASE bring this matter to your immediate attention before any more lives are lost. Thank you!

Regards,

ConspiracyTheories: Boeing whistleblower has an “arkancide”?

A Boeing whistleblower was found dead in his truck in the parking lot of his South Carolina hotel after he failed to show up for the second part of his testimony for a bombshell lawsuit against the company, a report said Monday.

John Barnett, 62, had raised safety concerns at the airline’s factories and provided his first testimony just days before he was found dead from an apparent “self-inflicted” gunshot wound, the Charleston County coroner told the BBC.

*** end quote ***

Isn’t that convenient?

Reminds me of a Clinton “suicide” or three.

But it should have happened before the first day of testimony.

Wonder if there is video?  Maybe mind control.

Sure convenient though.

ConspiracyTheories: Does China’s dodgy coronavirus vaccine cause diabetes and lukemia?

Thousands Claim Dubious Chinese-Made Sinovac Vaccines Gave Them Leukemia, Diabetes
John Hayward  — 4 Mar 2024

*** begin quote ***

Almost 3,000 people who claim to have suffered illnesses from China’s dodgy coronavirus vaccine signed a petition asking Chinese Communist Party officials to take responsibility for their illnesses and plan to appear at this week’s “Two Sessions” policy meeting in Beijing.

*** and ***

“In the history of China’s public health, similar incidents have emerged one after another,” the unnamed expert said. China has indeed suffered from a string of pharmaceutical scandals, many of them involving vaccines. Some of the largest public demonstrations against the tyrannical regime have been spurred by the government’s refusal to address lethal malfeasance from pharma companies.

“The most terrifying thing about this country is not the technical problem. The Chinese government and vaccine companies are bound by interests. There has never been transparent data and credible information. The system is shady, so what defenders are facing is not just a company, but the entire government,” the expert explained.

*** end quote ***

Interesting that China is having yet another “vaccine” plague.  When the Gooferment and Industry are in cahoots that causes “issues”.  Just like here in the USA, a fundamental flaw when the “referee” is involved in the game’s result.

Argh!

10 not-so-fun facts about Phil Murphy’s FY 2025 budget

February 27, 2024 Matt Rooney state budget 

*** begin quote ***

  • Notwithstanding taxes rising again (see below), Murphy’s budget includes a $1.8 billion structural deficit and a $5 billion deficit over two years.
  • We were told that the corporate business tax surcharge had sunset, but Governor Murphy wants to retroactively tack a 2.5% tax (the “Corporate Transit Fee”) on state businesses effective January 1st. It’s a clear break with his Election 2021 promise to not raise taxes in his second term, and its purposed goal is to save NJ Transit from complete collapse. Good luck.

*** and ***

  • The StayNJ program – Election 2023’s big gimmick – is getting a relatively paltry $200 million infusion.

Not that it matters much who you vote for or against, the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee blunders along to be joke of the world in terms of affordability.  I can’t believe that ANYONE stays here if you have any other choices.
