We all know now that students’ ability to learn suffered significantly during the pandemic. Some kids struggled to pay attention and some just dropped out entirely, never to return. National test scores since then show that most students haven’t recovered even five years later. Nevertheless, I guess I’d had it in the back of my...
Because, honestly? I’m not really understanding how they’re claiming to be ‘Christian’ right now. David had a post this morning about the first little group of South African Afrikaners who have arrived via Trump’s designating them basically an endangered species. I think there are a whopping 49 souls altogether. They seem pretty happy to be...
I actually understand why kindhearted people feel bad when some illegal immigrants are swept up by ICE and deported. After all, many illegal immigrants are not bad people who run roughshod over the system, and before Biden opened the floodgates, the majority of them weren’t coming here to suck off the government tit, grabbing free...
Can Donald Trump convince Iran to stop pursuing nuclear weapons? In his first media appearance on this week’s Middle East tour, Trump offered an olive branch — if Iran is truly interested in peace and security for the region. He offered Tehran “a new and better path” by dismantling its enrichment systems and ending its...
As Ed described earlier, there’s a new book about President Biden’s decline in office and the White House effort to cover it up coming out next week. I don’t have an advance copy unfortunately, but the authors wrote a story for the New Yorker today which is based on the book. The article describes a...
Oh, my GAWD -this is getting so good. I mean, to the point where there’s no ‘Republic of Alberta…YET,‘ good. The morning after the country went to the polls, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith laid down the law to newly elected Canadian Prime Minister and WEF/Davos climate cult toadie Mark Carney that she – meaning Alberta...
Earlier today, Ed wrote a great piece about one of the key revelations in Jake Tapper’s and Alex Thompson’s new book, Original Sin. After years of being gaslit by Pravda Media and their lying “sources” that Joe Biden was fit as a fiddle, we have been fed the “revelation” that Biden was so decrepit that...
Yesterday, Harvard send Sec. McMahon a letter which attempted to walk a fine line between finding common ground with the Trump administration and flipping them the bird. As Ed pointed out here, the administration’s response was to announce another round of funding cuts amounting to nearly half a billion dollars. The message is pretty clear:...
Harvard can’t claim they weren’t warned. Education Secretary Linda McMahon sent a letter a week ago to Harvard president Alan Garber warning him to start complying with the administration’s interpretation of the Civil Rights Act and two Supreme Court decisions on discrimination. Harvard ignored the letter until yesterday, when Garber tried sweet-talking McMahon out of...
Beege’s excellent post on the financial bonanza that Trump’s tariffs have brought highlights one side of the story that the Pravda Media didn’t expect. JP Morgan’s reversal of its prediction that Trump’s trade policy would usher in a recession tells the other side. All the “best people” have missed the point of Trump’s moves to...
This headline had to kah-kah-kah-KILL CNBC. Oh, you know it did. Tariff receipts topped $16 billion in April, a record that helped cut the budget deficit Sit back for a minute and let that sink in. Before we get to the nitty gritty numbers stuff. SCHWEET Receipts from U.S. tariffs hit a record level in...
Looks like David Hogg will get his wish. This weekend, Hogg lamented that Democrats just don’t get that young men want to “get laid.” Great news, then; thanks to a subcommittee vote, the DNC appears ready to screw him. And it looks as though they will play right into the hands of Republicans while doing...
As the Left goes insane fighting the deportation of Venezuelan and El Salvadorian gang members with proven records of violence, there is one indisputably oppressed group of refugees they oppose extending a helping hand to: white South Africans. President Trump has granted refugee status to South Africans who are fleeing racially motivated violence and expropriation...
Question: Would the White House have called videos of Joe Biden in a wheelchair “cheap fakes” and still claimed that the president could “run rings” around his aides? Answer: Probably. And if the cover-up of Biden’s cognitive and physical decline had held up past the June 27 debate that Biden insisted on having, we might...
Well, yes and no. Maybe. It depends on how you look at it. And it depends on what the results will be. It’s hard to say. It’s complicated. How is that for a non-answer? Pretty good, eh? There’s a reason for my not giving a definitive answer, because the way drug pricing worldwide works really...
