Many are growing weary and believe America must take a stand when requiring that allies bear their fair share of the responsibility and not violate the spirit of the sanctions.

    I am going to simply cut to the chase. I am not at all surprised, but still disturbed by Zeman’s latest behavior.  He has gone to great lengths to position himself for power. It was Zeman who broke the search process by speaking to Dr. Jesus Jara after the application window for the superintendent position closed. It was Zeman who connected Jara to Alhadeff.  It was Zeman who strategically brought up the subject of another candidate but would not call Jara by name, instead egged Alhadeff into doing it from the dais. From what I know of Alhadeff, she made a mistake but if she is as smart, measured, and meticulous as I believe she is, she won’t make that mistake again.

If not, she would be better suited to run for her district five school board seat, as it is where Pete is told she spends the most of her time. Word on these dirty streets is Oz is using every ounce of connection she has to influence the outcome of the superintendent election. And Ol Pete is hearing that it isn’t who she wants, but more who she doesn’t want that has her hair on fire.  Ol Traceit is scratching and wondering about the Black on Black and Woman or Woman violence swirling in the sand.
