Public-School Systems: The Chicago Warning | National Review - By DOMINIC PINO

In third through eighth grades, the percentage of

Victor Davis Hanson - Israel, Our White-House Absurdities, and the Left’s Empire of Lies

"The Biden administration is furiously trying to contextualize its past, unsupportable policies that have sown global chaos, especially in the Middle East. 

But the more it spins, the clearer its culpability.
Does it really believe that the long-agreed-upon U.S. green-lighting of $6 billion in sanctions relief to Iran has had no role in Iran’s terrorist support of Hamas, whether psychological or material or both? 

• Do they think we are that stupid? 

Even a first-grader might surmise that if a terrorist state knows that an impending $6-billion bonanza will shortly arrive in its coffers, then it will more readily in the here and now send arms to Hamas—on the logical assumption that those costs soon will be more than covered...

The US Government Shutdown Isn't the Problem. Public Debt Is | The Epoch Times

The US Government Shutdown Isn't the Problem. Public Debt Is | The Epoch Times - By Daniel Lacalle

"...As of August, it costs $808 billion to maintain the debt, which is 15 percent of the total federal spending, according to the U.S. Treasury. 

Interest rates are rising at the same time as the government rejects all budget constraints. 

This is a monetary timebomb.
All empires believe that their currency will be eternally demanded, until it stops...

When confidence in the currency collapses, the effect is sudden and insurmountable...

We know who paid. The whole world knows!

The "intelligence isn't just artificial.-----The Jaded Warrior | Here's something fun.. | Facebook

The Jaded Warrior | Here's something fun.. | Facebook - Jonathan E Groves

"Here's something fun...
I was curious to test for leftist-progressive biases built into Bing Chat-GPT4.
I asked BingChat-GPT4 to adopt the style of Shakespeare and generate his take on Donald Trump and of Joe Biden.
Here is what Artificial Intelligence Chat GPT-4 came up with. Do you see any built-in prejudice?

• First... Here's Bing Chat GPT-4... presenting DONALD TRUMP in the style of Shakespeare:

"What tongue can tell the madness of this man, Whose words are wind, whose deeds are full of woe? He raves and rants, he lies and cheats and scams, He sows discord where’er he deigns to go...

• Next, here is Bing Chat GPT-4 presenting JOE BIDEN in the style of Shakespeare:

"This man of age and wisdom hath the grace To bear the burden of a troubled time. He speaks with calm and reason, not with haste, And seeks to heal the wounds that plague our clime.
He is no tyrant, but a gentle king, Who rules with love and mercy, not with fear. He has a noble heart, and honouring The common good, he lends a listening ear...

How Biden Helped Fund Hamas's Allies Before Unprecedented Israel Attack

How Biden Helped Fund Hamas's Allies Before Unprecedented Israel Attack: 

Entities known to maintain friendly ties to the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas, from the Iranian Islamist regime to Venezuelan socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro, have enjoyed years of financial benefits from eased sanctions under leftist President Joe Biden – benefits meriting closer scrutiny in light of the unprecedented wave of terrorism striking Israel on Saturday.

The Modern Left and the Problem of Proportion - AFNN -  John F. Di Leo

"...But at least in the past we could convince ourselves that both sides’ views were reasonable, that they were legitimate options for their time and place...
This is no longer the case...
For example:

...Barack Obama announced that his administration would be pushing for projects to derive energy from algae, as if this was some brilliant and worthy scientific advancement.
Barack Obama presented it as if it was a great discovery, and we never knew that we could obtain energy from algae before....
There isn’t enough algae in the world for this to be worth the bother. Anyone with sense can see that...
Sure enough, their base ate it up. The fundamental flaw was invisible to them.

Since then, we have seen countless other examples:

• Masks to stop a virus hundreds of times smaller than the spaces in the mask.
• Vaccines that were tested on a sample size so small they were, for all intents and purposes, untested.
• A one-time stimulus check to make up for high gas prices, when the stimulus check is less than a fifth of the increased annual fuel cost the people are suffering.
• Celebrating job creation stats when the new jobs are lower-paying and with less advancement opportunity than the old jobs that are always disappearing...
