Dionne there says that home schooling is “resistance to patriarchy and colonialism”.
I agree with the commenter there, not having heard of it defined that way. It’s more like resistance to drag queen shows, DEI, perverted teachers and other woke lessons.
Here’s the checklist from Howard County Public School System, noting the items every classroom should have.
Good reason to homeschool in Harris County.
Rumor is that several PG residents who signed up and bought tickets for the PG Progressive (PGP) Launch event tomorrow have been denied access to the event. The PGP website features the importance of “Inclusiveness” and the welcoming culture of this organization. Several PG residents who wanted to attend to hear PG Progressive mayor, City Council & School Board candidates are very disappointed.
Step Out Of Line With The Progressives And Find Out Just How Inclusive and Accepting They Are
No interviews with the Pine Cone, she needs time to rehearse her answers and does not do a good job at that. As a mayor you cannot run away to think up an excuse then give your answers in front of a web cam. While wearing the clown glasses.

Quoted comment from Karl Lindstrom
Doubling down again and again. She is too triggered by her own “trauma” or the “tone” used in conversation to be able to make rational decisions. Obvious she is still coming to terms with her own involvement in “colonial genocide” being a US citizen directly supporting and paying to generate for her own supply of “trauma” by staying in this country and supporting the status quo. She kept the video up and smeared herself. If nothing else this is just bad word salad politics with no backbone. The thin excuse that she is just a pre-school teacher protecting kids from the super dangerous Israelis and Zionists throughout the world is just that. The Philippines has real preschools. Not just foreign nationals sitting on a beach supervising the kids after being in town for 2.5 months. The maximum stay on a tourist vista before you have to go through the work permit process at 90 days in. This whole “living and working idea” is totally debunked.
Watching a second time, I really enjoy the multiple Freudian slips. She should have at least done some editing or a second take. Correcting from possessive language is a deeper insight into “who she is and what she’s doing”. Shifts from “did it for the preschoolers” to “did it for me and my personal trauma as a WOC”. If we all go around projecting our trauma on strangers, we end up with really unhealthy individuals like this. How do you “misquote” a video? She’s too disingenuous.
And why the clown glasses?
Expanding spray foam? Should use FlexSeal.
The painted wood sculpture of two breaching whales by artists Jorge Rodriguez, Neftali Palomares and Javier Campos was crafted in 2016, But less than a decade later, the art piece appears to be rotting from the inside out. Numerous cavities are present, the paint is worn, and a pectoral fin of one of the whales recently fell off.
“Maybe it’s time to retire the whales,” one resident said on social media after seeing their condition.
A campaign to raise $9,000 to pay for the piece and fund future maintenance was launched in 2016. It’s unclear if any of that money remains.
What about replacing the antennae on the little girl in the Butterfly Parade statues in front of the post office? Can we start a campaign to replace them? Shoot, the bird guy in front of the Chamber Of Commerce was repaired faster than a train ride to Maine.
Dionne Ybarra – came in last place in a losing bid for mayor in 2018.
Listen to what she says in this Instagram* post. Say these things in the USA? that would absolutely be a hate crime. There’s the civil rights violation for ordering people off public property, and then you have discrimination based on nationality.

And I have to work on my, like, non judgment about.
Because they’re Israelis doesn’t mean what you think it means Dionne. You’re in this public space.
And I ask, are you. I just have to ask, are you Zionists?
What? Would you like a mayor of your town judging citizens based on their race?
Text of the Instagram video. With poser pictures.
I had a situation here in the Philippines.
There are a lot of Israeli tourists where I’m at, and it was brought to my attention.
And then I started noticing, as I’ve been, like, kind of spreading my wings and getting out in the community a little more, that there are a lot of Israelis.And so when I’ve been in these public spaces, I am aware that there are Israelis around me because they’re speaking Hebrew. And I have to work on my, like, non judgment about.
Because they’re Israelis doesn’t mean what you think it means Dionne. You’re in this public space. It doesn’t mean what you think it means. Let it go. Move on. Enjoy the moment.
Dionne the Tauntaun
And it’s been a test of…
And I can see how people are very racist because I want to go there. And so I’ve been bringing my centering myself back.
Be here now. This space is not about just you and move on.
But I happened to be in a space that was mine. Mine. Right.
It was a space that I had control over, and it was a space that I have become protective around because of the children that I and the community that I’m a part of and that I feel responsible for.So enter four Israelis into the space that I protect, that I have come to protect over the last month. I’m aware that they’re Israelis again because of their umm the language.
And my heart starts pumping.
Pumping because I have to go back to Dion, don’t make assumptions. Why don’t you ask, where are you from to confirm?Because people speak languages all over the world.
So I ask, where are you from? Israel.
Okay. And then my heart is pumping even more.
And so then I have to ask, and it wasn’t easy, let me tell you.
One of the most difficult things I’ve had to ask is, because, again, I am overseeing children, many of them.
And I ask, are you. I just have to ask, are you Zionists?
And it’s like. Like, what is that? What is that? And suddenly, English becomes very difficult at this point for these people.
And I don’t understand. What are you saying? What are you saying?And they don’t understand. I said, okay, you don’t understand what I’m saying. You’re from Israel, but you don’t understand. No.
I say, okay. And I walk away.
And in perfect English, one of the guys says, well, what does that mean to you? And I turn around and I say, I’m asking you if you are for or against the genocide of the Palestinians.And he stands up, young man, and confronts me and starts asking, well, what do you know about it?
And I said, I’m asking you if you are for the genocide of the Palestinians. That’s all I need to know.
I’m an Israeli soldier. I’ve already been to Gaza.
And I said, okay. So then it sounds like you are for the genocide of Palestinians.
Well, what are you asking? Questioning question. I said, okay, I know enough. And so I’m gonna ask you or I’m gonna tell you, I didn’t ask. I said, I’m gonna tell you. It’s time for you to go. And my heart is humping.And he starts wanting to go in about da da da.
The girl comes. October 7. Do you want to call that?
What do you think that is? Is that not genocide? October 7.
And I said, I’m not gonna argue with any of you.
I’m gonna tell you it’s time for you to go.
Then they bring in the others. They start hammering in on me. And I said, this is not an argument I am not going to change your mind.
You are not going to change mind. It’s time for you to go.
And again they’re telling me how ignorant I am. Then they begin to tell me how evil I am.
And then I’ve got a basketball that they want to use because they were playing this. It was my basketball.
And he says, well, can I throw one more shot?
I said, no, you cannot. You wouldn’t share this basketball with Palestinian, right?
And he said, no. And he turns around and says, I’ve already killed Palestinians, and I’m gonna go back and kill more.
Under his breath. That’s what he says.And the girl is yelling, raising her voice at me.
She’s not yelling. She’s raising her voice at me. October 7. October 7. And I just said, time for you to go. Time for you to go.
And they’re telling me I’m evil. They’re telling the children behind me, she’s evil. Don’t listen to her. And as they get on their motorbikes, one of them says, I’m going back to killmore Arabs, more women and more children.That’s what we’re working with.
And I just said, go.
Meet The Candidates For Mayor – Dionne Ybarra (text version)
Vote for Miller.
Pacific Grove Mayor Bill Peake seemed determined to run for a fourth term—he took out candidate filing papers on the first day of the nomination period, July 15, according to the P.G. City Clerk’s office—but about a week later he returned those papers, withdrawing from the race.
Two days later, on July 24, former P.G. councilmember Dan Miller took out papers to run for mayor as well. He ran in 2016 for mayor after serving several years on council but lost to Bill Kampe, but since then has been a town firebrand, voicing his disagreements at city meetings and through the now-defunct P.G Press newspaper.
The vote was 4-3, with Debby Beck, Luke Coletti, and Lori McDonell dissenting.
The project met mixed comments from the council who called for more safety information and details about how much the project would cost. Council members Debby Beck, Luke Coletti and Lori McDonnell dissented.
The council was asked to choose between a four-way stop with stop signs, or a roundabout. The council was also shown a video rendering of what the roundabout would look like.
Public comment was mostly against the roundabout option, with residents calling it too expensive and unnecessary.
Beck agreed with public comments that the video was not a good representation of Pacific Grove and did not feature children crossing the street, or the field on Sunset.
Look at that. It’s not even a roundabout. Who paid for this overpriced boondoggle?
Bill Peake?
Nick Smith?
Joe Amelio?
Chaps Poduri?
A used record store that serves alcohol. Pricey. Perhaps sell a few bibles, too?
Owner is a come-here Micheala Kuenster, the designer that was a part of Tina Rau’s (losing) 2022 campaign for P.G. City Council. Tina Rau owns the building that Pop And Hiss occupies. Same Tina Rau that hates Christians.
Yelp Reviews
In my opinion the drinks are a bit overpriced for what you’re getting and the records themselves (like all records) are absurdly overpriced.
I ordered a vodka tonic which wasn’t half bad but came in the tiniest plastic cup you can imagine, and my wife got a local beer (Alvarado Mai Tai I think?). As mentioned earlier, it was overpriced but nothing crazy. After tip, the total came out to $24 for 2 drinks.
Unfortunately, when I attended the soft opening, the owner was too drunk to speak. By the end of the event, I got extremely sick. It is highly likely that someone slipped something into my drink
Soft opening was unorganized and unsafe. I hope the business improves.
Plop And Miss. Who Thought This Was Good For P.G?
