From Newsmax: The Coweta County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrests of 26 people last week in connection with an alleged human-trafficking ring‚ including Stephen Hovanic‚ 64‚ of Sharpsburg‚ Georgia. According to Stars and Stripes‚ Hovanic served as the chief of staff for the Americas division of the Department of Defense Education Activity for 13 years and has been employed by the department for nearly 30 years. The DODEA is responsible for federal schools on U.S. military bases around the world. Authorities charged Hovanic with pandering — a misdemeanor in Georgia — for allegedly soliciting sex from an undercover agent in a motel room‚ Fox 5 Atlanta reported.

The two-day operation‚ which was conducted between Nov. 15 and 16‚ resulted in the rescue of six human-trafficking victims who have since been “moved to safety‚” the Haralson County Sheriff’s Office‚ which assisted the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office in its investigation‚ said in a post on X‚ formerly Twitter. “A total of 26 arrests were made‚ 12 for prostitution‚ 10 for pandering‚ and four for pimping‚” the sheriff’s office said. “Three of the individuals are currently under investigation for human trafficking and drug charges.” The DODEA’s official website says it is “one of only two Federally-operated school systems” that is “responsible for planning‚ directing‚ coordinating‚ and managing prekindergarten through 12th grade educational programs on behalf of the Department of Defense (DOD).”

It’s hard to decipher if this embarrassing misrepresentation of Ronald Reagan’s famous government ‘here to help’ quote is purposeful or accidental. Either way‚ it’s a horrible look for Education Secretary Miguel Cardona. In a recently-discovered clip‚ Cardona butchers Reagan’s famous quote and completely changes its meaning. Reagan famously said‚ “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the Government‚ and I’m here to help.” From the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation &; Institute: During this News Conference‚ President Ronald Reagan refers to how the government tends to be inefficient‚ to such a degree that instead of helping‚ it often causes harm instead. This view expresses the need for a more diminutive form of government where an individual or organization can complete an activity more effectively than the whole government. A few key points are: Government creates unpredictability due to constantly changing policies. The government’s goals sometimes don’t align with the nation’s goals. With this ideology‚ he wanted to create and organize a government of the right size for its people‚ where both could work in harmony to overcome the crisis. According to the New York Post‚ Cardona told his audience:  “As‚ I think it was President Reagan‚ said — ‘We’re from the government‚ we’re here to help.’” Cardona made the comment on November 8th while meeting with Western state governors in Wyoming. WATCH: The government is just… dumb. I can't believe this video is real. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona: "I think it was President Reagan who said‚ 'We're from the government.

In contrast to Cardona’s endorsement of Washington intervention‚ Reagan’s original statement from Aug. 12‚ 1986‚ was a warning against it. It goes without saying but the actual quote from Reagan was “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are I’m from the Government and I’m here to help.” “I think you all know that I’ve always felt the nine most terrifying words in the English language are: ‘I’m from the Government‚ and I’m here to help‚’” the 40th president told reporters while discoursing on US agriculture policy. “A great many of the current problems on the farm were caused by government-imposed embargoes and inflation‚ not to mention government’s long history of conflicting and haphazard policies.” The Education Department did not immediately respond to an inquiry about whether Cardona was joking.

So all of this activism is making this a politically tenable and a politically normalized position.

Disney’s latest animated film ‘Wish’ bombed at the Box Office in recent days‚ generating just $31 million during its opening weekend. The movie cost $200 million to produce. Disney’s ‘WISH’ underperforms on its opening weekend at the domestic box office.The movie was tracking to open with +$40M but ended up only earning $31M.Read our review: https://t.co/QT1Wl9Q2gq pic.twitter.com/G9S5eZA3UY— The Hollywood Handle (@HollywoodHandle) November 26‚ 2023 With Wish struggling at the box office‚ Disney is primed to end 2023 without a movie crossing the billion-dollar mark. Excluding the pandemic years of 2020 and 2021‚ this hasn't happened since 2014. https://t.co/xb7N6JufZM pic.twitter.com/yw97Axo1I1— IGN (@IGN) November 28‚ 2023 From Forbes Magazine: Disney’s “Wish” failed to take off at the box office last weekend‚ adding a dismal theatrical opening to the film’s already poor reviews‚ making it Disney’s latest in a series of financial disappointments as the company struggles to bring audiences back to theaters. “Wish” fell behind the opening weekend gross of nearlyevery other film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios‚ only surpassing the openings of a few flops like “Strange World” and “Raya and the Last Dragon‚” and it failed to reach the highs of its seven films that opened with more than $45 million in the 2010s. Though Disney’s animated films produced by Pixar tend to perform better at the box office‚ “Wish” did not surpass the opening weekend gross of any of them (not including the limited openings for “Toy Story 2” and “A Bug’s Life”)‚ even those released in the 1990s without adjusting for inflation.
