Trump Shuts Down Saudi Resistance.

 05/25/18 by: TTN Staff

Saudi Arabia recently changed its tune in regards to world oil prices. And President Trump is largely to thank.

 Under pressure from Trump, the Saudi government decided it would be in its best interest to keep oil prices reasonably low.
  According to Bloomberg:

The world’s largest oil exporter just made quite a policy swerve. Within six weeks, Saudi Arabia has gone from advocating higher prices to trying to stop the rally at $80 a barrel.
 The U-turn scrambled the outlook for oil markets, hit the share prices of oil majors and shale producers and set up a diplomatic wrangle with other members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries.
 What changed? The supply threats posed by the re-imposition of U.S. sanctions on Iran oil exports earlier this month and the quickening collapse of Venezuela’s energy industry are both part of the answer, but they’re secondary to Donald Trump. On April 20, the president took to Twitter to lambaste the cartel’s push for higher prices. "Looks like OPEC is at it again," he tweeted. "Oil prices are artificially Very High!"
 Trump’s intervention gave typically strident voice to a concern held more widely in the U.S. and other consuming countries: oil’s rally from less than $30 in early 2016 to more than $80 this month risked becoming a threat to global economic growth.

 This is just another win for the American people from the Trump Administration!

The mainstream media will largely ignore this to talk about some scandal they dreamed up,

  but this is a huge win for America.

Government Loses Track Off THIS MANY Illegal Immigrant Children!

 05/25/18 Daily Wire by: Ben Shapiro

On Friday, The New York Times reported that a Department of Health and Human Services official, assistant secretary of the Administration for Children and Families Steven Wagner, had reported to Congress that the HHS had “lost track” of approximately 1,500 migrant children placed with guardians in the United States

 According to the Times, this raises concerns “they could end up in the hands of human traffickers or be used as laborers by people posing as relatives.”
 The Times’ stunning report continues:
The children were taken into government care after they showed up alone at the Southwest border.

  Most of the children are from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, and were fleeing drug cartels, gang violence and domestic abuse, government data shows.

 From last October to the end of the year, officials at the agency’s Office of Refugee Resettlement tried to reach 7,635 children and their sponsors, Mr. Wagner testified. From these calls, officials learned that 6,075 children remained with their sponsors. Twenty-eight had run away, five had been removed from the United States and 52 had relocated to live with a nonsponsor.

 Officials at the agency were unable to determine with certainty the whereabouts of 1,475 children, Mr. Wagner said.

 HHS officials actually gave eight children to human traffickers who used the children for farming in Ohio just a few years ago. HHS pledged to revise its procedures. They still haven’t.

Monday, May 28  Memorial Day 2018 in United States of America.

 The custom of honoring ancestors by cleaning cemeteries and decorating graves is an ancient and worldwide tradition.

 In early rural America, this duty was usually performed in late summer and was an occasion for family reunions and picnics.

 After the Civil War, America’s need for patriotic ceremony to honor its military dead became prominent, as monuments to fallen soldiers were erected and dedicated, and ceremonies centering on the decoration of soldiers’ graves were held in towns and cities throughout the nation.

 After World War I, the day expanded to honor those who have died in all American wars.

No less than 25 places have been named in connection with the origin of Memorial Day, and states observed the holiday on different dates.

 In 1971, Memorial Day became a national holiday by an act of Congress; it is now celebrated on the last Monday in May.

 Since it all started with the Civil War, you might want to brush up on your knowledge of this event by visiting the Library of Congress Civil War collection, which includes more than a thousand photographs.

The Poppy, A Symbol of Memorial Day

 The wearing of poppies in honor of America’s war dead is traditionally done on Memorial Day (not Veterans Day). The origin of the red poppy as a modern-day symbol of this day was actually the idea of an American woman, Miss Moina Michael. 

 In war-torn battlefields, the red field poppy (papaver rhoeas) was one of the first plants to grow. Its seeds scattered in the wind and sat dormant in the ground, only germinating when the ground is disturbed—as it was by the very brutal fighting during World War 1.

 The practice of wearing of poppies was further inspired by the poem “In Flanders Fields,” written in 1915 by Canadian soldier John McCrae. He saw the poppies in burials around his artillery position in Belgium.

 Today, poppies are the symbol of loss of life as a symbol of recovery and new life, especially in support of those servicemen who were damaged physically or emotionally. 

In Flanders Fields:

by John McCrae, May 1915

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

How You Can Honor the Fallen This Memorial Day.
  5/25/18 Tom Callender

More than 1.3 million men and women have died in service to our nation from the Revolutionary War to the present day.

 This weekend marks the 150th anniversary of that first “Memorial Day” remembrance, when Congressman James Garfield—who would later become president—addressed a crowd of more than 5,000 at Arlington Cemetery.

 The tradition continues to this day at national cemeteries across the nation, with the president of the United States most often delivering the address and laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

 To millions of Americans, Memorial Day symbolizes the unofficial start of summer—the opening of the local community pool, baseball games, concerts, barbecues, and trips to the beach.

 Regrettably, a Gallup poll in 2000 revealed that only 28% of Americans knew the true meaning of Memorial Day, and 40% confused it with Veterans Day.So, what is the meaning of Memorial Day?

Memorial Day is the day to remember those men and women who died while serving in our nation’s armed forces, whereas Veterans Day is a day to celebrate the service of all U.S. military veterans.

Why have so many Americans lost sight of the true meaning and observance of Memorial Day? Some would argue it began with the Uniform Monday Holiday Act of 1968, which moved Memorial Day from its traditional date of May 30 to the last Monday in May.

 Many veterans organizations, such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars, still oppose that move, stating that the creation of the three-day weekend has diluted the focus of the day from solemn reflection on, and tribute to, those who sacrificed their lives in defense of our nation and led to the general public’s nonchalant observance of Memorial Day.

 Memorial Day began at the national level on May 30, 1868, as Decoration Day, with a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery to honor fallen Civil War soldiers. This tradition continued to grow, and following World War I, Decoration Day became a day of remembrance of all soldiers, sailors, and Marines who died in service to their nation, not just the Civil War.

 It was not until after World War II that the holiday became more popularly known as Memorial Day.

In his 1868 call to celebrate Decoration Day as a national holiday, Maj. Gen. John Logan stated eloquently:

"Let us then, at the time appointed, gather around their sacred remains and garland the passionless mounds above them with the choicest flowers of springtime.

Let us raise above them the dear old flag they saved from dishonor.

Let us, in this solemn presence, renew our pledges to aid and assist those whom they have left among us as sacred charges upon the nation’s gratitude—the soldier’s and sailor’s widow and orphan."

 These core tenets still provide a call to order for every American on this solemn day of remembrance.

Since the founding of our nation 242 years ago, more than 1.3 million men and women have died in service to our nation from the Revolutionary War to World War II to the ongoing wars in Afghanistan and Syria.

 To help remind Americans of the true meaning of Memorial Day, Congress passed the National Moment of Remembrance Act in 2000.

 This resolution asks Americans, wherever they are at 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day, to pause for one minute in a symbolic act of unity to “remember and honor the men and women of the United States who died in the pursuit of freedom and peace.”

 To help signal that moment of remembrance, all Amtrak trains sound their whistles for the entire minute.

While there’s nothing wrong with spending time with family and enjoying leisure activities this weekend, let us all remember Logan’s call and dedicate Monday to more meaningful acts of remembrance.

 So, what can you and your family do to carry on the meaning of this sacred day in your community and properly honor our fallen heroes?

*Display an American flag and lower it to half-mast until noon in honor of every soldier, sailor, Marine, and airman who gave their lives in service to our nation.

*Volunteer to place wreaths at the grave sites at your closest national cemetery.

*Set your cellphone’s alarm to remind you to pause at 3 p.m. for the National Moment of Remembrance, and listen for that Amtrak whistle.

*Attend a religious service or engage in quiet reflection on the sacrifice others have made for your freedom and security.

*Visit a war memorial or monument, and discuss the meaning of Memorial Day with your children and grandchildren.

*Reach out to any neighborhood Gold Star family, a family that has lost a service member, to offer your support.

 As Americans, we enjoy the enormous blessing of freedom. Remembering those who died to preserve that freedom is an obligation we all share.

Remember the Heroes of Flight 93 on Memorial Day.

 5/25/18  Lee Edwards

Shanksville, Pennsylvania, is far removed from the busy bustle of Wall Street in New York City and the secure grounds of the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. Here, in the tranquil farming fields of southwestern Pennsylvania, ordinary Americans gave their lives exhibiting a bravery equal to that of any Navy SEAL team.

 It was here on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, that Todd Beamer and a handful of other passengers stormed the cockpit of United Flight 93 and prevented Islamic terrorists from achieving their likely goal—smashing the Boeing 757 jetliner into the gleaming dome of the U.S. Capitol.

 Already on that tragic morning, hijacked planes had crashed into the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center in New York—symbols of America’s capitalist wealth—killing everyone in both planes and many hundreds more in the towers. A third plane piloted by terrorists had hit the Pentagon, a symbol of America’s military might, killing several hundred civilians and military personnel.

 The plans of Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden seemed to be perfectly under way, but he failed to reckon with the courage of everyday Americans who would step up to challenge him.

 Americans like CeeCee Lyles, a 33-year-old flight attendant. Lyles had just embarked on a new career after working as a police officer in her hometown of Fort Pierce, Florida. Five minutes before the plane crashed, she reached her husband by phone, and they were able to pray together before she said to him, “Tell the boys I love them. We’re getting ready to do it now. It’s happening!”

 Passenger Thomas Burnett, 38, CEO of a medical supply company, made phone calls to his wife and revealed key details about the hijacking and the passengers’ plans to take back the plane. He said, “We have to do something. We can’t wait for the authorities. … It’s up to us. I think we can do it.”

 Passenger Honor Wainio, 27, a district manager for the Discovery Channel, phoned her stepmother who recalls Wainio saying, “They’re getting ready to break into the cockpit. I have to go. I love you. Goodbye.”

 Passenger Todd Beamer, 32, an account manager for a software company, called an Airfone representative to relay messages to his pregnant wife and their two children. At his request, she joined him in the Lord’s Prayer and a reciting of Psalm 23. At the end of the prayer, she heard him say to the other passengers, “Are you ready? OK. Let’s roll.”

 What we know about the half-hour between the plane’s initial hijacking and when it crashed into the Pennsylvania countryside comes mainly from the phone calls made by crew members and passengers to their families and friends. They learned that hijacked planes had plunged into both the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. It was clear that the terrorists in control of their plane were intent on hitting a similar target in Washington, either the White House or the Capitol.

 Discussion among the passengers was brief and to the point—something had to be done to stop the terrorists, and only they could do it. The flight data recorder shows that the terrorist pilot began rolling the plane from side to side and pitching it up and down to keep the passengers and crew off balance. The cockpit recorder indicates a violent struggle took place, with sounds of raised voices and breaking glass—but the passengers would not be deterred.

 The passengers went down with their plane at 10:03 a.m., just 18 minutes’ flying time from the Capitol.

All 33 passengers, seven crew members, and four terrorist hijackers were killed.

 This September will mark the 17th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of 9/11 that took the lives of some 3,000 innocent people—corporate executives and secretaries, servicemen and civilians, police and fire fighters, Christians, Jews, and muslims. There will be prayers and wreaths and flags lowered to half-mast. Most of the media’s attention will focus on Ground Zero in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, and understandably so.

 But let us not forget Flight 93. Let us praise those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their fellow citizens. The memorial to Flight 93 contains a wall of names and a Memorial Plaza bearing the words, “A common field one day, a field of honor forever.” There is a visitor center with electronic displays that tell the tragic events of 9/11.

 The Flight 93 memorial will have a new feature in September—a 93-foot tower with 40 aluminum wind chimes, one for each passenger and crew member. At night, the tower will be lit like a beacon.

 If you are ever in southwestern Pennsylvania, perhaps on this Memorial Day, traveling to or from Pittsburgh, take a short detour on PA-30 and look for the Tower of Voices.

 Say a prayer for the amazing men and women whom it memorializes, and thank God that we live in America, the land of the free and the home of the brave.

School Can Force Students to Share Bathrooms With Transgender Students, Federal Court Rules.

 5/24/18 

A Pennsylvania student said Thursday that her school opening its locker rooms, showers, and restrooms to students of the opposite sex is unfair and wrong.

 “There are good ways to make room for everyone, without letting a boy into the girls’ locker rooms, shower areas, or restrooms,” said Alexis Lightcap, a senior at Boyertown Area Senior High School in Boyertown, Pennsylvania, who is also in a lawsuit against Boyertown Area School District, at a press conference.

 “That is why I joined this lawsuit, so no other girl has to go through what I went through. It is common sense that boys shouldn’t be in girls’ locker rooms, restrooms, and shower areas. Every student matters and schools should put our privacy, safety, and dignity first.”

 Lightcap was joined at the press conference with two of her attorneys, Christian legal group Alliance Defending Freedom’s legal counsel Christiana Holcomb and Independence Law Center chief counsel Randall Wenger, who argued the lawsuit.

 On Thursday, three judges on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia heard oral arguments over the lawsuit, Doe v. Boyertown Area School District.

 Judges Theodore McKee, Patty Shwartz, and Richard Lowell Nygaard ruled 3-0 against student privacy, Holcomb said. “We are currently evaluating our options, [but] it is very likely that we will seek en banc review with the 3rd Circuit to ask a full panel of the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals to consider the issue of student privacy.”

 En banc review would allow more judges to weigh in on the lawsuit rather than just the panel of three.

Students and parents appealed the lawsuit to the 3rd Circuit in September of last year, according to Alliance Defending Freedom.

 The school opened its restroom and locker room facilities during the 2016-17 school year to students of the opposite sex without warning, Holcomb said.

 “Without notice to parents or to students, Boyertown High School ignored its duties to respect the privacy, the safety, and the dignity of Alexis and her fellow students,” Holcomb said during the press conference, adding:

 To her shock, she was told, due to a new and unannounced school policy, she would be sharing the restroom, locker rooms, and shower changing facilities with boys. Today, we asked the court to protect Alexis’ right to privacy, safety, and dignity in her own school.

 “The Supreme Court has already spoken that the real differences between men and women means that privacy must be protected in the areas that it matters most, in locker rooms, restrooms, and shower changing facilities,” 

 Holcomb said. “Today’s decision is out of step with the long-standing protection for privacy and we will continue to advocate for these young students.”

 Aidan deStefano, a transgender student who graduated last year from Boyertown Area High School, said, according to Metro Weekly, “Reversing the practices that have allowed me and other trans kids to thrive at school would have been devastating. I’m glad other transgender students will know the experience of being treated like any other student.”

 Lightcap said she was startled when she went into the bathroom one day and saw a man in the women’s room. “One day when I was in school, I walked into the bathroom and immediately when you walk in the bathroom, there is actually a mirror there, and I saw a reflection of a man. My body went into immediate shock,” Lightcap said in a video released by Alliance Defending Freedom. “I immediately ran out and I went to the administration at the school to report what I had seen in the bathrooms.”

 Lightcap communicated the concern to her grade level principal but was ignored, Holcomb said in the video.

“After Alexis encountered that guy in the girl’s bathroom, she turned and ran out of the restroom and we actually have video footage of her fleeing the restroom in fear,” Holcomb said, adding:

She went to her grade level principal … and Alexis told Dr. Foley what had happened to her, how scared she was, how concerned she was, but Dr. Foley didn’t seem to care, he didn’t listen, he didn’t fix it, he basically told her, ‘This is the new school policy and this is the way things will be.’

 “My voice didn’t matter, I knew that,” Lightcap said in the video. “I wish that the school had protected my privacy somehow, because it felt like a specific group of people were protected, while the greater population was not.”

 The Daily Signal requested comment from Foley and the Boyertown Area School District but did not receive a response by publication deadline.

 Ryan T. Anderson, author of “When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment” and a senior research fellow at The Heritage Foundation, told The Daily Signal in an email that the Boyertown policy is wrong.

 “Schools should protect the bodily privacy of their students,” Anderson said. “The reason we have separate bathrooms and locker rooms for boys and girls is not because of ‘gender identity’ but because of the bodily differences between males and females!”

Trump to North Korea: Now that’s more like it; Update: “We’re talking with them now” Update: June 12 still target date?

 5/25/18  Ed Morrissey

After Donald Trump canceled the summit with Kim Jong-un in a letter that cited North Korea’s “tremendous anger and open hostility,” Pyongyang appeared to reverse its rhetorical strategy. Its #2 diplomat, Kim Kye Gwan, offered a more conciliatory statement expressing the regime’s “willing[ness] to give time and opportunity to the US side with a big and open mind.”

 This morning, Trump offered a signal that the summit might take place after all:

 Does that mean the summit is back on? Not quite, but it will probably prompt North Korea to start showing up to planning meetings rather than snub them, and maybe to keep their rhetoric outside of their borders somewhat more diplomatic than they have in the past.

 Much has been made of the idea that Trump canceled the summit to keep Kim from being able to back out first. Savannah Guthrie asked Lindsey Graham on NBC’s Today about that this morning, but Graham scoffed at the notion.

 Trump told Graham that he concluded he was being played, not just by Kim but also by China’s Xi Jinping, and that he wasn’t going to let them get away with it. “For thirty years, they have played us,” Graham said, and the harsh and abrupt rebuke was a big signal that business as usual is over:

 “It’s not if it ends, it’s how it ends,” Graham says of Trump’s mindset on the nuclear standoff with North Korea.

 If Kim refuses to denuclearize, it will end in military action, and Graham thinks it will happen by the end of Trump’s first term — if Kim pushes it. Graham sees Pyongyang’s actions in the runup to the summit cancelation as an attempt to run out the clock on Trump’s term of office, and more importantly, so does Trump.

 That’s why the cancelation got their attention and prompted a reversal in their public rhetoric. As Graham explains, they thought they were dealing with a president that would eventually follow the diplomatic patterns of US presidents of both parties going back for decades. Instead, they may have realized that they were close to provoking a war, which China absolutely does not want in its backyard.

Washington Post columnist David Ignatius calls Trump’s play both cunning and risky:

 The jilt letter was cunningly timed, allowing Trump to pocket some of Kim’s concessions without giving anything in return.

 North Korea had a few hours earlier destroyed some of its nuclear test sites. And two weeks ago, Kim had released three American hostages, in what Trump had called “a beautiful gesture” that “was very much appreciated.”

 Trump’s open rebuke is a loss of face for Kim. That may be intentional, but as so often with Trump, the disruptive move will have its costs.

  Notes Carlin: “The letter is a direct challenge. Why did this have to be released publicly?”

One risk is that Kim will revert to his former belligerence, even resuming his missile and nuclear tests. That would be bad news for everyone. The summit and its de-escalation of tensions had been welcome partly because the United States has few good military options if the confrontation escalates.

 Missile tests, perhaps; nuclear tests no, unless Kim wants to expose the Punggye-ri ceremonial destruction yesterday as a complete sham.

  As it happened, the initial reaction was just the opposite. North Korea stopped its increasing belligerence and became more conciliatory, a move which Trump greeted with public appreciation.

 That doesn’t mean that the US doesn’t have adjustments to make.

Former State Department specialist John Barry Kotch advised the Trump administration to narrow the public voices speaking on North Korea to just Trump and Mike Pompeo:

 For now, however, the takeaway is that loose lips sink ships – and summits.

On the US side, instead of one person or department taking the lead – Secretary of State Mike Pompeo would have been logical, having previously met Kim twice – there was a cacophony with National Security Adviser John Bolton and Vice-President Mike Pence chiming in with statements that infuriated the North.

 It’s not bad advice, but it’s more noteworthy for where it appears. The South China Morning Post in Hong Kong has become more loyal to Beijing over the last few years despite its independent ownership by the Alibaba Group. It’s at least an unofficial mouthpiece of China, rarely running anything critical of the Xi regime. Kotch’s analysis is worth noting in that context, although still interesting in its own right and with some nuggets of good advice, including the one above.

 One can also assume that this is what Beijing wants to tell Trump, in its usual indirect nature.

Trump, of course, is much more direct. He fired a shot across the bow of Kim and Xi yesterday, and at least Kim has gotten the message.

 Don’t expect this to be an end of the game-playing, but at least we can expect that the White House is prepared to deal with it.

Update: That was quick:

 “We will see what happens. We’re talking to them now," says POTUS this morning about still having a summit with North Korea.— Mark Knoller 5/25/18

Update: Trump suggests that the June 12 date could still work:

NEW: Pres. Trump says "we're talking" to North Korea now; "it was a very nice statement they put out; we'll see what happens. It could even be the 12th…They very much want to do it, we'd like to do it. We're going to see what happens."

“They very much want to do it.”

 Now they do, or at least now they’re publicly saying they do. Stay tuned.

As far as the June 12th date, though, that would depend on how much...

New York Republicans Just Made History in AG Race.

 5/28/18 Cortney O'Brien

New York Republicans just made history by picking their first ever black Attorney General nominee.

 The candidate, Manhattan attorney Keith Wofford, is seeking to fill the vacant post after Democrat Eric Schneiderman resigned over domestic violence reports. 

 "Voters are going to recognize that any machine candidate will lack credibility to clean up collusion and corruption in the government,” Wofford told the Wall Street Journal. “It’s not about party affiliation. It’s about who can do the job.”

 Wofford, who was raised in Buffalo, is a Harvard Law School graduate and currently the co-managing partner of the New York City office of the law firm Ropes & Gray.

 Joe Holland, one of Wofford's opponents, who is also black, congratulated Wofford on his nomination. He added that it is an ideal opportunity to show voters that the Republican Party is more diverse than they may think.

 Joe Holland says this is a historic moment for the Republican Party to have a black candidate for Attorney General (in Wofford) and he says it should help the GOP shed reputation it’s not friendly to minority candidates.

 Gov. Andrew Cuomo asked Schneiderman to resign last month after a New Yorker piece detailed the domestic violence charges against him. Four women accused him of physical assault. Schneiderman rejected the allegations, explaining in a statement that he sometimes "engaged in role-playing and other consensual sexual activity," but has not assaulted anyone. Still, he resigned following massive pressure, even from members of his own party.

 Wofford will face New York City Public Advocate Letitia James, who was nominated by New York Democrats on Wednesday. The state's solicitor general Barbara Underwood will serve as acting attorney general until November.

Wait–Did A Broward County Deputy Cover Up A Sexual Assault Committed By Sheriff Israel's Son?

 5/25/18

The Broward County Sheriff’s Office has seen better days. After the horrific Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida last February, the law enforcement department has been under siege.

 First, there’s former Officer Scot Peterson, who was assigned to the school. He was the school resource officer, but never went into the building to confront shooter Nikolas Cruz, who was gunning down faculty and students. Video footage confirmed Peterson never went in, prompting outrage. He resigned after he was placed on unpaid leave. 

 Then, after the shooting at Marjory Stoneman, another sheriff’s deputy is suspended for falling asleep while on security detail for the school.

 Sheriff Scott Israel has said he’s delivered amazing leadership, until something goes wrong—then, it’s not my fault. The sheriff’s office visited the residence of Cruz over 40 times prior to the shooting, with some reports alleging that he had pointed firearms at people’s heads. A deputies’ union voted overwhelmingly against Israel in a no confidence vote, though the embattled sheriff refuses to resign. 

 Now there’s a cover up of an incident that occurred four years ago at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.   It involves the sheriff’s son who partook in a sexual assault of a then-freshman. Officer Peterson was assigned to the case.    https://youtu.be/P8qDYsStkqw

 A local Miami news station released an explosive report on Thursday night about a "disturbing assault" that happened at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School four years to the day before the tragic shooting in February.

 The alleged incident involved one of the sons of Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel and was allegedly "covered up" by Officer Scot Peterson, the resource officer who infamously failed to confront the Parkland shooter.

 WPLG Local 10 investigative reporter Bob Norman reported Thursday that two 17-year-old students at the school allegedly bullied a 14-year-old freshman boy, with one of the 17-year-olds holding down the student while the other 17-year-old kicked the victim, grabbed his genitals, and then grabbed the victim's own baseball bat and began shoving it against his buttocks "simulating rape" through the boy's clothes.

 There was plenty to support reasons for why Israel should have resigned after the Parkland shooting.           Now, there seems to be yet another reason, unrelated to the school shooting but still serious.

  What is going on with this department?
