    Protesters Blocked Betsy DeVos From Entering A Public School

    The controversial education secretary was eventually able to get into the building, after she was confronted by protesters at a DC school on Friday





    After a man threw himself in front of a staircase leading into the school, DeVos was forced return to her car, a small number of protesters chasing after her. One held a “Black Lives Matter” sign and chanted repeatedly, “Shame!”

    A small number of protesters also greeted DeVos on her first day of work at the Education Department on Wednesday, holding signs that read “Resist” and chanting, “Welcome to your first day, we will not go away.”

    DeVos said she was “honored” to meet with the team at the middle school

    about our shared commitment to public education. LIE!

    This sorta like NYC voting 90-10 against Trash

    Andy Puzder’s Hometown Paper Says He’s ‘Uniquely Unqualified’ to Be Labor Secretary

    In an editorial in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Puzder was described as a misogynist who is not prepared to head up the Labor Department.

    He is brash, outspoken, misogynistic, combative and uninterested in quarantining himself from his financial interests.

    Like many of Trump’s nominees —

    Rick Perry at the Energy Department, Betsy DeVos at Education, Ben Carson at Housing and Urban Development —

    he is almost uniquely unqualified for the duties of the office to which he seeks confirmation.

    Puzder perviously worked as a trial lawyer in St. Louis before heading up CKE Restaurants, which runs the Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr. fast-food restaurants. CKE is currently headquartered in St. Louis but is soon moving to Nashville.


    At the end of the editorial, Puzder was taken to task over hiring an undo ented worker as a housekeeper, as well as for the company’s risque commercials.

    Add this to the fact that he hired an undo ented immigrant as a housekeeper and

    reveled in TV commercials featuring bikini-clad supermodels

    pitching 1,000-calorie burgers to his testosterone-crazed target demographic.

    And, like Trump, he has balked until this week at divesting his assets.


    There’s every reason for the committee to send him back to Nashville. A robot would be better

    Nurses: Puzder Nomination a Direct Assault on Women, Workers

    “Andrew Porter’s career is a testimony to the worst behavior of corporate America

    the sexual objectification of women,

    an utter contempt of workers, and

    disdain for the most basic protections for workplace rights and safety,”

    said NNU Co-President Deborah Burger, RN.


    “It is hard to imagine a worse and more insulting candidate to head a federal agency whose primary role is to advance the welfare of working people,” said Burger.

    “There can be no other conclusion than that Puzder was specifically chosen to subvert the intent of the Labor Department, and roll back every existing standard that defends working people in America,”

    Burger said. “In every regard, Puzder’s nomination directly parallels the nomination of, in particular, Scott Pruitt to administer the Environmental Protection Agency, who apparently was also chosen to destroy the intent of an agency he was named to head for the benefit of corporate profits.”


    “As an organization of predominantly women, NNU is particularly appalled at the nomination of Puzder,

    a man whose view of women is to view them solely as sex objects to sell hamburgers,

    to be subject to the most crass sexual harassment in the workplace, and

    as workers to be thrown aside and replaced by machines if they stand up for their rights,”

    RN cited Puzder’s record as CEO of Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s (CKE) restaurants as

    a staunch opponent of raising the minimum wage,

    fostering a hostile work environment for women employees,

    opposition to overtime pay, and

    rampant labor law violations, including wage theft.


    Examples include sexual harassment complaints by two thirds of women workers at brands owned by CKE restaurants,

    well above the 40 percent at similar workplaces, and do ented labor law violations at 60 percent of Department of Labor CKE investigations.


    One recent survey by the Restaurant Opportunities Centers United indicated that one-third of all respondents said

    they did not receive meal breaks as mandated by law;

    around one-fourth had been illegally forced to work off the clock without pay;

    almost one-third had been illegally deprived of overtime pay, the NNU letter noted.


    Puzder’s arrogant scorn for workers, especially the most low wage workers employed in his restaurants, is evident in a history of public statements, such as

    “No more people behind the counter unless they have all their teeth,” and

    “How do you pay somebody $15 an hour to scoop ice cream?”

    As well as his advocacy for eliminating workers and replacing them with machines because “they're always polite, they always upsell, they never take a vacation, they never show up late, there's never a slip-and-fall, or an age, sex, or race discrimination case.”


    “The mission of the Department of Labor,” Burger and Ross wrote, “is ‘to foster, promote, and develop the welfare of the wage earners, job seekers, and retirees of the United States; improve working conditions; advance opportunities for profitable employment; and assure work-related benefits and rights.’

    Throughout his career … Andrew Puzder has consistently failed to show regard for the principles of the Department of Labor.”

    “It is deplorable to imagine Puzder in the same role once held by the first woman to hold a Cabinet position in the U.S., Frances Perkins, who as Franklin Roosevelt’s Labor Secretary was both a role model for women and a uncompromised champion of the rights and economic security for all working people,” Burger noted.

    “There can be little doubt,” said Burger, “that as Labor Secretary,

    Puzder would be a champion, not of workers, but accelerating corporate profits at workers’ expenses.

    NNU will vigorously oppose his confirmation,” Burger concluded.

    ‘It’s like Hunger Games or Game of Thrones’: Obama advisor shocked by Trump’s White House chaos

    Pfeiffer was asked about Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway’s latest ethics flub and her claim that the president supports her “100 percent.” Burnet revealed that there are now reports that the president is upset with Conway.

    Pfeiffer explained that this is just another in a long line of “alternative facts” from Conway that hurt her credibility.

    Burnet brought up the leaks that are coming out of the White House and that there seem to be factions forming that are fighting amongst themselves. Pfeiffer agreed with the assessment and also that it is unhealthy for a White House.

    “Look, I’ve been in Washington a long time, I’ve watched a lot of White Houses, I’ve never seen anything like what’s happening here,” he said.

    “There are clearly factions, I don’t know who’s in what faction, but

    the things that White House officials are saying to other White House officials on background to reporters is mind boggling.

    Every day you read another story about someone in the White House trashing Sean er, saying that Trump doesn’t support him, doesn’t like him, that Reince Priebus is out of favor because he supported Sean er.

    In White Houses, presidents get mad at staffers, staffers get mad at each other, but you don’t read it in the paper in a minute by minute basis.

    It appears to people on the outside like it is pure chaos. It’s like ‘Hunger Games’ or ‘Game of Thrones’ in there.’

    I just heard for the first time Steven Miller speak, on Stephanopoulos. He's one scary mofo.

    Miller kept claiming VT and national vote were lost because of illegals voters.

    George asked for evidence, Miller responded with talking points, propaganda, but not a shred of evidence.

    "repeat a LIE enough times, and it becomes "truth" "

    Miller's last words were robotic, scariest "campaign" bull .


    Today's show, http://abcnews.go.com/ThisWeek, scroll down to "Steven Miller On What's Next for Trash's Immigration Order"

    Referencing Kris ing Kobach as having proof of Ms of illegal voters?

    Holy , one scary mofo.

    Trash, Bannon, Miller, Gorka, those ing assholes have done and will do horrible damage.

    Donald Trump Praises Adviser Stephen Miller for His Round of Lies This Sunday

    It was an avalanche of robotic talking points and lies for Trump policy advisor Stephen Miller this Sunday, solidifying that he is in the right administration for his ethics and integrity.




    in his adviser Stephen Miller, Trump has found the propaganda crack he so desperately needs.

    It was an avalanche of robotic talking points and lies for Trump policy advisor Stephen Miller this Sunday, solidifying that he is in the right administration for his ethics and integrity.

    The most accurate thing Miller said was on ABC News’ This Week,

    “We have a president who has done more in three weeks than most presidents have done in an entire administration.”

    Of course that is not accurate – not anywhere near accurate, but we are grading on a curve here.

    Trump labor nominee Puzder owes millions to bank seeking waiver from his department

    President Donald Trump’s nominee to head the U.S. Department of Labor personally owes millions of dollars to a convicted bank that is relying on the same department to waive sanctions for its crimes, according to federal records.

    The ties between Trump’s embattled appointee Andrew Puzder and the multinational bank UBS were listed in federal do ents reviewed by International Business Times—but they were not explicitly acknowledged in Puzder’s ethics agreement with federal regulators.

    Puzder listed two mortgages and one line of credit with UBS Financial Services, an investment in UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund and 10 other accounts with UBS. In all, Puzder listed a total of $2.6 million to $11.5 million of investments and loans with UBS. That is in addition to the millions of dollars of assets in the 10 other UBS accounts held by Puzder.

    In 2009, UBS admitted to the Justice Department that it had “participated in a scheme to defraud the United States” by helping customers evade taxes. In 2015, UBS plead guilty to manipulating interest rates in violation of a previous deferred prosecution agreement.

    The case—in which prosecutors determined the bank engaged in “deceptive currency trading and sales practices”—could trigger federal prohibitions designed to prevent convicted banks from managing billions of dollars of workers’ pension money.


    But if Puzder’s nomination is confirmed by the U.S. Senate, he would head a Labor Department empowered to waive such punishments.

    The Department of Labor notes that the Secretary of Labor is the federal official who decides whether to grant companies the key designation—and waivers —they require to manage retirement assets.
