To quote the testimony from November 20, 2024, by former Amagansett School District Clerk Sandra Nuzzi, as reported in this publication: “Other staffers, she said, were advising her of harassing and bullying behavior. Multiple teachers and staff were uncomfortable with the decisions that were being made in the school. … Those who ‘didn’t agree with a certain group of people’ faced retaliation, she said. …
“Nuzzi told [Brian] Deinhart that “union leaders were going after certain teachers.” Deinhart asked for names of the union leaders. The reply: “Mike Rodgers …”
You know, a few questions I often ponder. Nuzzi testified with her own attorney present. Did she ever face any type of retaliation after testifying? Has anyone else faced any form of bullying, harassment and retaliation who has been outspoken? Why have other staffers been quiet? Is the fear of retaliation that great?
Time will tell the story not yet told.
Still here.

Striking HypocrisyFor years, Democrats have blasted Republicans for threatening government shutdowns, warning of the harm they would cause everyday Americans. Yet, just last week, those same Democrats voted to shut down the government outright. The hypocrisy is striking. The recklessness is...
Human Prey?Assault weapons are just that. They are not hunting rifles, unless your prey is human. No self-respecting sportsman would use an assault rifle to hunt quail, deer or even a bear. Assault weapons were designed for the military to kill...
