SAISD San Antonio teacher Mathias Hieserich at Highlands High School arrested for soliciting a minor online for sex



This is a nice black eye for the non-profit Teach for America.  The joke here is that this guy passed a background check.  Not much of a check, obviously. 
KENS 5 revealed a math teacher at Highlands High School resigned last year after being questioned on campus by Hays County Sheriff's investigators.


Mathias Hieserich, 24, resigned March 19, the same day he was questioned by authorities in connection to an incident in the Dripping Springs-area.
Hieserich was then arrested in Bexar County last July and charged with online solicitation of a minor for sex.

The felony warrant was out of Hays County.

Hieserich was assigned to Highlands High School as part of "Teach for America", a non-profit organization that places recent college graduates in urban teaching settings.
A spokeswoman for SAISD said the district currently has more than 220 teachers supplied through the program.

SAISD officials said they did not tell students and parents about the chain of events that preceded Hieserich's resignation, because the incident happened off-campus, outside Bexar County and did not involve a Highlands student.

The Next Recession Arriving Right on Schedule?

The following chart shows the annual change in the 2-year moving average of retail sales (excluding food services). I'm going for a maximum smoothing approach to remove as much noise as possible (while still seeing the underlying trend).


Click to enlarge.

Good luck blaming the slow and steady growth rate decline (since 2012) on this winter's weather.

In May of 2012, I predicted that the next recession would hit on or before October 2014. Eight months to go. I see little reason to alter my opinion. At the rate we're going, it could be close enough for government work anyway. I truly hope I am wrong. Seriously.

If I am right (might not be of course), this is going to be a nasty recession. Why? Many seem to think a recession is impossible during ZIRP and that the Fed has saved us. What a confidence shaking wake-up call that would be.

I am especially amused by the party of 1999. Had we not thrown such a spectacular one (and hoarded for the Y2K bug that was a non-event), the recession may have happened right then and there. Praise be to celebratory can-kicking.

And lastly, rising interest rate environment my @$$.

This is not investment advice. As always, just ugly charts and opinions.

Yay for the pink coat! Yes, I took my DIY pink coat to NYFW. Since I didn't wear it to much lately, I said that it's about time for a new look! No other tricking colors are present in the mix, so I chose to pair it plain and simple with the most contrasting non color: Black! I forgot for a moment few good hours about high heels and my ladylike approach turned into grunge style for the rest of the day!
Voila!

Man-made Climate Change Believers Need to Come Clean about Being 21st Century Atheists



Believers in man-made climate change, who used to call it global warming until they ran into some inconvenient truths, need to admit that they don’t believe in God.  It takes a Godless person to believe that carbon is a pollutant.  

These arrogant people think that they have the power to declare that riding a bicycle instead of an SUV somehow affects the weather?  They really believe if they had the ability to snap their fingers and return the whole world population back to the horse and buggy age that somehow extreme weather would cease to exist?

Come on climate change believers!  Admit it once and for all that your religion is man-made-climate change.  It’s an article of faith for you guys despite all of the scientific evidence that proves CO2 does not drive temperature.  You still believe it does because it is your secular religion that ignores the truth that the climate is controlled by Almighty God. 

He wants it cold, it gets cold. 

He wants it hot, it gets hot! 

He wants it to snow and ice, and snow and ice it will be.   For as long as He wants it to last regardless of all the bicycle riding by 6 billion human beings He created in the first place. 

I admit I’m a believer in God.

Why don’t you admit you’re not?      

WHSF, Mexican Fiesta And LULAC National Allows DREAMers To Apply For Scholarships In 2014

A recent scholarship study by HNNUSA found that major and local non-profit organizations supported immigration reform, but failed to allow DREAMers from applying for scholarships. Since then, the Wisconsin Hispanic Scholarship Foundation, Mexican Fiesta and LULAC National have changed their policy requirements barring DREAMers.

By H. Nelson Goodson
February 17, 2014

Milwaukee, WI - On Tuesday, Hispanic News Network U.S.A. ((HNNUSA) has learned that the Wisconsin Hispanic Scholarship Foundation (WHSF), Mexican Fiesta and League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) National have changed their scholarship requirement policy that used to prevent DREAMers or DACA college students from applying for scholarships. HNNUSA recently exposed the mentioned organizations and other major Hispanic non-profit organizations that prevented DREAMers from applying for scholarships. Some organizations have broken tradition from excluding DREAMers from getting scholarships and have become more giving to needy Hispanic college students regardless of status.
WHSF sponsors the annual three day Mexican Fiesta in Milwaukee and is affiliated with Wisconsin LULAC local chapters 319 and 322 and the LULAC National. WHSF says, it had given out over $1.250M in prior scholarships,  but none were ever given to DREAMers until this year, 2014. About 100 scholarships are awarded every year, according to WHSF.
The recently released LULAC National Scholarship Fund Student Application now requires, an applicant must now choose by checking either, U.S. Citizen, legal permanent resident or lawfully present (DACA) student. Students can begin to apply for scholarships and the due date is March 31, 2014. WHSF also requires a student applying must be a Wisconsin resident.
HNNUSA made a difference once again and has been instrumental in helping to bring about gradual change for the betterment of our Hispanic community by paving the way for DREAMers to be included for scholarship awards and not be excluded. It is the right thing to do and non-profit organizations have realized, students regardless of legal status are our leaders of tomorrow.

Rogers High School Teacher Victimized by Wicked Joke of Sexual Relationship with student on Reid Sagehorn’s website



I usually report incidents of a real epidemic going on around the country of teachers engaging in sex with students.  In this case a nasty hoax was perpetrated on an innocent teacher via social media.  Shame on the students of this high school!
KSTP reports the story of a high school senior - suspended because of a Tweet - has people talking.


Rogers High School Senior Reid Sagehorn is accused of sending a Tweet, confirming allegations, that he did something inappropriate with a teacher at the school. His friends say it was only a joke, and now thousands of people have signed an online petition to get him back in class.

On Tuesday night many students and parents are planning to show up at the district as the School Board meets on unrelated business. They want to catch them before or afterward to talk about the ordeal.

Sagehorn could face felony charges. Police say another student admitted Tuesday morning, to helping create a gossip website that's linked to the mess. That website, called "Rogers Confession", gathered gossip and questions and posted, some of it anonymously, to Twitter.

"Free Reid" is what thousands of students, parents and community members are saying about the Rogers High School student, who is also captain of the basketball team. They want Reid Sagehorn's suspension, over an inappropriate Tweet, to be lifted.

Wall Street Shows Curious 666 Sign of Occultic Numerology

*****666 STOCK MARKET ALERT*****

TVIX closes at $6.66

What is the TVIX? 


 VelocityShares Daily 2X VIX Short Term ETN

Did George Soros buy the TVIX?

It is rather stunning that we hear George Soros is shorting the S&P500 and even more curious I noticed that one of the funds that trade at 2 times the rate of the VIX VOLATILITY INDEX closed the day at $6.66.  Is that a coincidence?  Or is that a sign of what's to come in the markets very soon?

Many investors are trusting the Federal Reserve to continue moving the market higher and reach the anniversary date of March 6, 2014 making this the second longest bull market for the last eight years.   However for some reason we have bankers committing suicide, missing, and dying and all manner of growing concerns of a global systemic crash.

Why is 666 to be noted? 

It is important to remember that the S&P500 fell to 666 on Mar 6, 2009.  It's also important to note that that anniversary date is approaching.  And I haven't heard any mention of this but some of us are not ignorant of Satan's devices.  Is this a coincidence?



All eyes on the TVIX at $6.66

The TVIX like the VXX, UVXY, and the raw VIX VOLATILITY INDEX is all being closely monitored by traders and perhaps even by the elite like George Soros who are certainly "in the know."  Do you think this might be the working of Satan?

Poll: 71% of Obama Voters, 55% Democrats 'Regret' Voting for His Re-election



Obama has lost the trust of the American people because he told the biggest lie for over two years about Americans being able to keep their health insurance.  He and the Democrats have wrecked the best healthcare system in the world and they own 100% of the disaster because the law passed without a single Republican vote. 

They own this tar baby all by themselves!  

Fox News reports over seven in 10 Obama voters, and 55 percent of Democrats, regret voting for President Obama's reelection in 2012, according to a new Economist/YouGov.com poll.

Conducted to test the media hype about a comeback by 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, the new poll found voters still uninspired by Romney, but also deeply dissatisfied with Obama who has so far failed to capitalize on his victory over 15 months ago.

The poll asked those who voted for Obama's reelection a simple question: “Do you regret voting for Barack Obama?”

— Overall, 71 percent said yes, 26 percent no.

— 80 percent of whites said yes, 61 percent of blacks said no and 100 percent of Hispanics said yes.

— 84 percent of women said yes, and just 61 percent of men agreed.

— 55 percent of Democrats said yes, as did 71 percent of independents.
