This sulfur-spewing Russian volcano is turning sunsets purple | Science | AAAS"Sunrise and sunset chasers discovered something odd this summer: In rural Colorado and the rest of the Northern Hemisphere, Earth’s daily light shows were turning purple.
Now, weather balloons probing the stratosphere have traced the mysterious purple light to a volcanic eruption in Russia.
On 22 June, Russia’s Raikoke volcano blasted ash and sulfuric gas 17 kilometers into the stratosphere..."

Department of Education report says Chicago Public Schools 'inexcusably failed' to protect children from sexual assault; Dem mayor says 'I take some of those comments with a grain of salt' - TheBlaze
Department of Education report says Chicago Public Schools 'inexcusably failed' to protect children from sexual assault; Dem mayor says 'I take some of those comments with a grain of salt' - TheBlaze:
A report released Thursday by the United States Department of Education excoriated the Chicago Public School system for failing to protect children from sexual abuse over the course of many years. The department also ordered Chicago Public Schools to implement a new plan to address those allegations in a document that read like a well-deserved public flogging.

Recalling the Tragic History of Gun Control: News: The Independent Institute
Recalling the Tragic History of Gun Control: News: The Independent Institute:
Almost all guns are sold by licensed dealers, who are required to clear every sale through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). Requiring “universal background checks” on private sales, according to the National Institute of Justice, involves one additional step: “effectiveness depends on ... requiring gun registration.” So that’s the necessary next step. But don’t hold your breath waiting for criminals and crazies to do background checks on each other.
As for “assault weapons”—the propagandistic euphemism for common semiautomatic rifles possessed by millions of Americans—President Bill Clinton signed a law in 1994 banning them; it expired 10 years later. The law was not renewed when the data showed it had no effect on crime. Since it did nothing, why not enact yet another useless version?

CHARLES C.W. COOKE: Beto Is a Disaster for the Gun-Control Movement.
Instapundit Blog Archive CHARLES C.W. COOKE:
" Beto Is a Disaster for the Gun-Control Movement.
Add that the Democrats’ “ban all the things” rhetoric at the CNN “climate change town hall” from last week, and it begs the question: what’s left that they don’t want to ban? (And Biden has signed off on his support for the Green New Deal. So much for his posing as the moderate among the candidates.) As Bryan Preston wrote afterwards, “If you like Venezuela, voting for any of them will bring you a whole lot of Venezuela. Thank you, CNN, just for letting these people talk. Do it again next week? Please?”
Surprisingly, the House of Stephanopoulos was eager to comply.--Posted by
" Beto Is a Disaster for the Gun-Control Movement.
He almost certainly doesn’t realize it, but Beto O’Rourke is likely to be the worst thing to happen to the gun-control movement in decades — and, if he continues in this mode, he may turn out to be the worst thing to happen to the Democratic party in a long time, too. In Houston last night, O’Rourke abandoned his cloying euphemisms (“mandatory buybacks”) and delivered a deliberate, carefully scripted endorsement of gun confiscation, which, within minutes, his campaign began to sell on t-shirts. “Hell yes,” Beto said, “we’re going to take your AR-15.”“’That clip will be played for years at Second Amendment rallies,’ said Dem Sen. Chris Coons to CNN this morning of O’Rourke’s vow to confiscate assault weapons.”
Thus, upon the instant, did two decades’ worth of Democratic rhetoric go up in a puff of smoke.

Over A Million Households Climbed To Middle Class Under Trump, Census Data Shows | Zero Hedge
"More than 1.2 million American households moved to above $50,000 in annual income between 2016 and 2018, according to Census Bureau data released on Sept. 10, a sign of a growing middle class.
While in 2016, some 58.5 percent of households enjoyed more than $50,000 in total money income, the share rose to more than 60 percent in 2018.
The median household income, meanwhile, rose by nearly 2.3 percent—with all figures adjusted for inflation.
...The progress has been even more apparent for black Americans, whose unemployment rate dropped below 7 percent for the first time in December 2017 and in May 2018 fell further to 5.9 percent.
That record held for more than a year until it was also shattered in August as the rate hit 5.5 percent..."

Feelings Now Acceptable As Answers To Math Problems | The Babylon Bee
WASHINGTON, D.C.—An update issued Tuesday to the 2017–2018 Common Core educational standards now allows students to answer mathematics problems by responding with whatever their feelings are telling them at the time.
One example problem given to illustrate the updated standards asked students to figure out when a 6:00 a.m. train leaving Boston at thirty miles per hour and a 7:00 a.m. Milwaukee train headed the opposite direction at forty miles per hour will intersect.
A list of possible solutions to the sample problem published in the Common Core standards obtained by reporters indicated that “Ugh,” “I’m offended,” “Triggered,” “Trains scare me,” “Boston scares me,” “Milwaukee scares me,” and “Kill yourself,” would all be scored as correct.
“Any emotion, feeling, statement, or catchphrase is an acceptable answer to most of the problems in the new mathematics standards,” a Common Core representative told reporters.
“As long as students are being sincere, genuine, authentic, and true to themselves at the time they are answering the question, that’s all we can ask as educators.”
“Who are we to tell anyone that their own mathematical truth is wrong?” the rep added..."

BBC Warns Kids of Prison Time for Sins Against Gender Identity
BBC Warns Kids of Prison Time for Sins Against Gender Identity"This month, the BBC released a series of instructional videos for British teachers called "The Big Talk."
The videos cover all sorts of sexual topics and gender identity.
One video claims there are more than 100 gender identities and another warns children that "people can go to prison" for being perceived as disrespectful.
In the short film "Respecting Myself and Others," a teacher tells kids that "people can go to prison if it's shown they're disrespecting or being hateful to people because of a difference that person perceives."...

The Saudis have just lost their war against Yemeni rebels.
They might as well come to terms right now, because the other 50% of their oil capacity is dependent on whether the Houtis decide to hit that as well.
The thing is that this was not a massive strike by aircraft costing millions of dollars.

Math teacher loses job after defending Western Civilization | The College Fix"A math teacher says she has lost her job at a private school in Southern California for speaking out in defense of Western Civilization — even though she made her comments outside the classroom.
Dr. Karen Siegemund, president of the Los Angeles-based American Freedom Alliance, gave a speech in May at the group’s “Long March Through the Institutions” conference, which “explored the Left’s ongoing multi-decade takeover attempt of numerous public and private institutions to effect a radical transformation of America.”
During her speech, she said “each of us here believes in the unparalleled force for good that is Western Civilization, that is our heritage, whether we were born here or not.”Shortly thereafter she said she was informed that her teaching contract at Le Lycée Français de Los Angeles, a private K-12 school, would not be renewed..."
