Director’s cut: Gov. Mike DeWine is restoring some of the state education money that he previously said would be cut, Andrew Tobias reports. Last year, DeWine cut about $776 million from the state’s general operating budget for 2020, including $300 million in cuts to K-12 school funding and $110 million in cuts to higher education funding. But under the new order, DeWine is restoring $160 million in funding to schools this year, and $100 million to higher education. The DeWine administration is working on finalizing its budget proposal and plans to unveil it on Feb. 1.
Corporate media journalists and left-wing activists took to social media on Wednesday to spread claims that Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas is in favor of inciting insurrection.
“Here’s a quote. ‘I just don’t even know why there aren’t more uprisings all over the country, and maybe there will be,’” Gohmert said on the House floor during the impeachment debate.
While Gohmert specified that what he was saying was a quote, taken directly from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s previous statements encouraging uprisings, journalists and activists quickly twisted his words, publicly speculating and claiming he was calling for increased political violence around the nation.

The vaccine for the Wuhan virus is now being administered to people across the nation. In some jurisdictions, the best principles of social justice and critical race theory are being used. When the CDC first made its recommendation for vaccine distribution it made it clear that there were just too damned many old white people and to atone for white privilege and past injustices they might have to die (see CDC Is Literally Trying to Kill Granny by Using Critical Race Theory to Decide Who Will Get Wuhan Virus Vaccine). In Massachusetts, convicts who, correct me if I’m wrong, are already quarantined will get the vaccine ahead of nursing home residents. In New York, Andrew Cuomo, afraid that time is running out on his ability to willy-nilly slaughter the elderly and the infirm, has decreed that drug addicts in rehab clinics will get the vaccine ahead of those most likely to die from the virus.
