Stop The ‘Green Hallucinationists’ Plan to Close All 200 Coal Power Plants.

China is Building Coal-Fired Power Plants at an Alarming Rate of two new coal plants every week! - Ronald Stein, George Harris

...the expectation that America, with about 4% of the world’s population, can drastically impact the world’s emissions occurring from the other 96% people on this planet.
Coal is the world’s most abundant and reliable energy source.

The United States has the world’s largest coal reserves...

There are about 200 coal-burning power plants still operating in America, with many concentrated in Pennsylvania, Texas, Indiana, and the Powder River Basin of Wyoming and Montana, i.e. only 8% of the world’s coal plants.
Worldwide there are over 2,400 coal-fired power stations, i.e., the other 92% of the world’s coal plants...

They failed EVERYONE!

What does Jordan Peterson understand that pastors are missing? | Blaze Media

What does Jordan Peterson understand that pastors are missing? | Blaze Media:

Strangely, the church doesn’t seem to be all that interested in understanding the Jordan Peterson phenomenon, much less the rest of the men’s influencer archipelago ranging from the healthy (like former Navy SEAL Jocko Willink) to the dubious (like the infamous Andrew Tate). It has continued with legacy strategies that appeal to some but are clearly not as effective as what online influencers are doing.

Some of the appeal of online influencers is understandable. There’s a sort of edgy, transgressive, “bro” vibe. Some of what is being sold here, such as pickup artistry, are things the church should flat-out reject regardless of how big the market for it might be.

Rewarding Failure - by Peter Venetoklis

New York City's public education system spends about $34,000 per student.

That's the highest in the nation, more than double the $15K national average, and up more than 50% in the past decade or so...
Accidental Governor Kathy Hochul briefly considered paring spending in light of reduced enrollment, but reversed course in an obvious knee-bend to the powerful teachers' unions that have been roadblocking systemic improvements for decades.

This is the great peril of single-party rule, when the party is addicted to power and spending...

This December, let's recall the spirit of the 1914 Christmas truce | Blaze Media

This December, let's recall the spirit of the 1914 Christmas truce | Blaze Media:

On Christmas Day, many soldiers will find themselves in combat zones, thousands of miles from home, and many veterans will find themselves just as lost and broken.

Let’s bring back the Christmas Day truce, for the women and men who must fight every other day of the year. Wherever you are, whoever you’re with, may Christmas be a day of peace and compassion. A day guided by hope. A reminder that our shared humanity is stronger than we know.

‘But I think it’s profoundly concerning and dangerous for trans people — especially young trans people’ - College Fix Staff

Michigan clerks balk at proposed (massive costs!) of voting access expansion | WOODTV.com

This week, the House Elections Committee passed the Michigan Voting Rights Act, a package of bills that would expand voting access for non-English speakers and those with disabilities... - Byron Tollefson

“...A lot of those overnight are going to see the need to require additional language assistance. That cost is going to be exponential.”

Boersma said rural communities with fewer registered voters could be especially affected by the change.

“Some small farming communities that might barely have 1,000 registered voters might all of a sudden overnight see themselves needing to provide extra language assistance,” Boersma said.

“That doesn’t just cover a ballot in a different language.

Instructions, public notices, audio recordings of ballots would have to be read in a different language.”
Curbside voting would also be required for voters with disabilities who can’t enter a polling place...

San Diego Democrat says California sanctuary policies are too weak, calls for stronger protections against ICE | Blaze Media

San Diego Democrat says California sanctuary policies are too weak, calls for stronger protections against ICE | Blaze Media:

Democrats in California are pushing laws to oppose President-elect Donald Trump's agenda.

Aproposal for sanctuary city policies by a Democratic county supervisor would far exceed those already imposed on California by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Nora Vargas, the chairwoman of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, said California protections for illegal aliens were not strong enough and issued a proposal to further frustrate deportation efforts.

U.S. math scores drop post-pandemic on international test - Chalkbeat - Erica Meltzer

U.S. fourth graders saw their math scores drop steeply between 2019 and 2023 on a key international test even as more than a dozen other countries saw their scores improve.
Scores dropped even more steeply for American eighth graders, a grade where only three countries saw increases...
The extent of the decline seems to be driven by the lowest performing students losing more ground, a worrying trend that predates the pandemic...

MUST-SEE: Chicago residents TORCH woke mayor for migrant crisis | Blaze Media:

Chicago residents are finally fed up with Democratic leadership and are signaling a shift as frustration over crime and the migrant crisis boils over.

“You are so strong about protecting those aliens, but you won’t do nothing for the U.S. citizens,” a Chicago resident said in a fiery speech at a city council meeting.

“We are the ones who pay your salaries. Let me accentuate on that. But yet, you want to overlook us like we don’t exist. Well, you’re not going to exist for the next election, because there’s a 10-year prison sentence when you want to stand up here for those illegals,” she continued.

Abolish the Department of Education and Get the Federal Government Out of Schooling

The federal government furnishes a relatively tiny amount of K-12 funding—but the feds need relatively little money to exert power. - Neal McCluskey

In 2010, the department brought the country to the brink of a national curriculum, coercing states to adopt the Common Core standards and associated tests.
Only when teachers unions opposed tying test scores to teacher evaluations did left and right converge against federal overreach...
