- A recent study suggests that, for the first time in nearly 100 years, Americans’ average intelligence quotient (IQ) is declining.
- The professors who authored the study theorize that the quality of education could play a role in reversing the IQ gains enjoyed by previous generations...
- Professors from Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill., and the University of Oregon in Eugene explain the Flynn effect: starting in 1932, average IQ scores increased roughly three to five points per decade. In other words, “younger generations are expected to have higher IQ scores than the previous cohort.”
- Data from the sample of U.S. adults, however, imply that there is a reverse Flynn effect. From 2006 to 2018, the age groups measured generally saw declines in the IQ test used by the study, the International Cognitive Ability Resource (ICAR)...

Fauci Hid Damning Emails from CDC, Gave $9M Grant to Scientists After Recanting Lab Leak Theory
Fauci Hid Damning Emails from CDC, Gave $9M Grant to Scientists After Recanting Lab Leak Theory:
Immediately, Fauci took steps to shut down the conversation about the lab leak theory among members of the science community. The following day, Fauci and then-National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins organized a conference call with at least 11 virologists including Andersen, according to a Sunday memo from the House Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic.
The memo stated, “New evidence released by the Select Subcommittee today suggests that Dr. Fauci ‘prompted’ the drafting of a publication that would ‘disprove’ the lab leak theory, the authors of this paper skewed available evidence to achieve that goal.”

Marine Corps Sniper Testifies Kabul Suicide Bombing Could Have Been Stopped | National
- The culminating event of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in August of 2021 was the horrific attack on Kabul Airport’s Abbey Gate.
- The explosion killed 13 U.S. service members and at least 170 Afghans. It also maimed countless more, including 45 service members like Tyler Vargas-Andrews.
- "...“Countless Afghans were murdered by the Taliban 155 yards in front of our position…We communicated the atrocities to our chain of command and intel assets but nothing came of it,”...
- On August 22, the sergeant and his fellow service members reported to the chain of command that the enemy performed an IED test run...
- “The response: ‘Leadership did not have the engagement authority for us. Do not engage,'” he explained, adding that they waited and waited for a response that never came.
- “Eventually the individual disappeared. To this day, we believe he was the suicide bomber,” he said.
- “Plain and simple, we were ignored,” explained Vargas-Andrews. “Our expertise was disregarded. No one was held accountable for our safety.”
What We Weren't Shown About Jan. 6
What We Weren't Shown About Jan. 6 - BY BEN SHAPIRO
- Jan. 6 was, according to White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.”
- Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer explained that the riot of Jan. 6 was a “violent insurrection.”
- And in order to preserve democracy, Schumer stated, Fox News should take Tucker Carlson off the air.
"...But it is clear that Jan. 6, as ugly as it was, was a riot and not a “danger to our democracy”; that many of those in the Capitol were in fact gawking rather than rioting; and that the Jan. 6 committee went out of its way to present certain footage but avoid other footage.
...We couldn’t be given the footage, according to our media and political elites, lest we draw the wrong conclusions.
- Herein lies the problem: the best way to avoid the American people drawing the wrong conclusions is to present them with the full evidence, and then let them draw their own conclusions.
- And that’s precisely what the elites in our media and the Democratic Party won’t allow.

MUST READ ALL!-----VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: The Price Of Eliminating Consequences | The Daily Caller
VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: The Price Of Eliminating Consequences | The Daily Caller"Recently there were some remarkable online videos of a Portland, Oregon good Samaritan confronting shoplifters and forcing them to dump loads of their pilfered goods.
- More stunning, however, was the sheer outrage — of the thieves!
- The criminals entertained no fear of any consequences for walking out with bags of things that were not theirs.
- They had no care that mainstreaming their habits would undermine the entire fabric of society.
What is common to the pandemic of smash-and-grab, carjacking, fighting on airliners while in flight, and deadly Saturday night shoot-outs is this same apparent assurance there will be no consequences.

As grip slips on J6 narrative, Democrats reintroduce ‘COVID-19 Victims Memorial Day’ - By Olivia Murray
"...Naturally, the regime needs a distraction...
It’s time for a Hail Mary, and apparently Massachusetts Democrats drew the short straw. Fauxcahontas and Ed Markey, both senators from the Old Bay state, just reintroduced a resolution in Congress to establish the first Monday of March as “COVID-19 Victims Memorial Day”... From the resolution:
Whereas, in late 2019, COVID–19 emerged and began to spread throughout the world, creating a pandemic that has had a catastrophic impact on human life, communities, and the economy of the United States...
Whereas the COVID–19 pandemic has had a disproportionate impact on low-income communities and communities of color….
