The Media Whitewashes Biden’s Afghanistan Blunders
- The media scrutiny to which he has been briefly subjected is already ebbing.
...it is abundantly clear that Biden studiously ignored advice from his military and national security advisors in order to adhere to his self-imposed withdrawal date of August 31.
- ...yet many in the media clearly yearn to absolve Biden of responsibility for his incompetent and deadly withdrawal.
- Many insist that the real culprit is the man he replaced seven months ago.
Even as the bodies were being counted in Kabul, NBC News published an opinion column by Sébastien Roblin titled, “The Afghanistan airport explosion happened under Biden but traces back to Trump.”...Read all.

We’re told to ‘follow the science’ — yet some of it is just plain wrong--Glenn Harlan Reynolds
We’re told to ‘follow the science’ — yet some of it is just plain wrong
- In recent years, there have been a lot of catchphrases around science: “Follow the science!” “We believe in science!” Even “The science is settled!”
- Well, sometimes it’s not settled. Sometimes it’s not even really science. But lots of people believe in it or follow it anyway. It’s a global problem.
"Most recently, we learned that a widely noticed 2012 study co-authored by Dan Ariely — whom the journal Science refers to as a “superstar honesty researcher” — was based on fake data.
Ariely is indeed a superstar, and his work is highly influential.
He’s written multiple New York Times bestsellers.
He founded a center at Duke University.
...The only problem is, it’s not true.
...Did Ariely commit fraud — he says no...but in a way the problem is bigger.
Whether or not it was Ariely’s fault, a study that influenced policy turns out to have been baseless.
And scientific peer review, often defended as the gold standard for research, didn’t spot the problem.
...Even more dangerous than the things we don’t know are the things we think we know that are wrong. Bad science produces things that sound important — maybe because they match our prejudices — but that are wrong.
That’s not science at all, and we should neither believe in it nor follow it...Read all.

Liberals destroy everything they touch!-----A Deserved 'Moment of Truth' for Public Schools as a Record Number of Parents Opt Out
A Deserved 'Moment of Truth' for Public Schools as a Record Number of Parents Opt Out
- Simply put, parents and students have lost faith in the school system to educate.
- They doubt whether the schools have the best interests of their students at heart.
This poisonous doubt is having a tangible effect on enrollment.
Despite the fact that public education is free, parents are sending their children to private schools with more reliable, more predictable policies.
Enrollment in public schools nationwide declined by 3 percent last year.
But it was the numbers for kindergarten enrollment that should chill the blood of teachers’ unions and school district officials.
Kindergarten enrollment tanked by 13 percent last year, and it’s only expected to get worse this year...Read all.

Biden Addresses Nation Heavy on Political Platitudes, Actually Cites Scripture, Says "I've been instructed to call on..." - Louder With Crowder:
Biden actually said he didn't regret relying on the Taliban to secure the Kabul airport. Later, Biden also actually said the Taliban is not good people. It's at this time those Biden voters should look at themselves in the mirror and slap each cheek, hard. Repeat as necessary.

Stream Sharia is Growing in Canada by Political Islam | Listen online for free on SoundCloud
"The National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) published a lengthy list of how they want to bring Sharia to Canada.
They will use a 61 point list of recommendations to prevent “hate” and “Islamophobia” at all levels of government—federal, provincial and municipal.
If the program is implemented, it will be illegal to say anything about Islam, including quotes from Islamic doctrine, that displeases a Muslim.
Under the Sharia, slander does not mean telling a lie but means saying anything that offends a Muslim...Read/listen all.
