Adam Carolla: Here’s the Real Reason Kids Were Forced to Mask in Schools
Adam Carolla: Here’s the Real Reason Kids Were Forced to Mask in Schools
"...According to comedian Adam Carolla, the reason kids were forced to mask in schools for two years had nothing to do with protecting them from COVID-19, but actually with making them “good subjects.”
...This kills sick people, old people, obese people, comorbidity people. It doesn’t ostensibly affect kids; they’re in the safest category,” Carolla pointed out.
Carolla believes it had nothing to do with the virus and instead likened it to crate training...
...He elaborated, “You cannot train a dog when it’s middle-aged. You got to get them when they’re puppies. And get them trained up and into that crate. And that’s what we’re doing with kids. Because this will not be the last emergency. And it will not be the last time the government and the governor and the mayor need to exact their power.”...Read all!

Before the pandemic she could see students steadily gaining ground.
"A teacher-friend of mine recently expressed sadness over the stagnation of her students.
Now she was seeing zero progress on their tests—and maybe even some declines.
...The effects of the pandemic are beginning to show up, and the results aren’t pretty, particularly in the area of reading for younger students.
- The New York Times reports, “If children do not become competent readers by the end of elementary school, the risks are ‘pretty dramatic,’” according to Dr. Tiffany Hogan, the director of a speech and language literacy lab in Boston.
- “Poor readers are more likely to drop out of high school, earn less money as adults and become involved in the criminal justice system.”
- But Hogan overlooks one of the biggest dangers facing this up-and-coming population that can’t read: they will be all the more easily taken in by propaganda, sucked onto the conveyor belt of yes-men that do anything the media and government tell them to do...Read all.

Senate Passes Bill to Make Daylight Savings Permanent - Louder With Crowder:
"I know this is not the most important issue confronting America but it's one of those issues where there's a lot of agreement, and I think a lot of people wonder why it took so long to get here. My hope is that after we're done here today that the house will take it up that the house will pass it the president will sign it... pardon the pun but this is an idea whose time has come."
Amazon Relocates 1,800 Workers Due To Seattle’s Skyrocketing Violent Crime Rates
Amazon Relocates 1,800 Workers Due To Seattle’s Skyrocketing Violent Crime Rates
- “Given recent incidents near 3rd (Ave) and Pine (St), we’re providing employees currently at that location with alternative office space elsewhere”
Citing skyrocketing violent crime in downtown Seattle, Washington, Amazon has “temporarily” arranged for its employees at that location to work elsewhere...
Apparently the move is only “temporary” because those progressive policies will kick in any day now and the glorious Utopia will rise from the ashes of Seattle’s bear-hug embrace of radical far-left policies that have left parts of their city not just uninhabitable by anyone other than criminals but practical “no go” zones for law-abiding workers...Read all!!

Biden administration blocks July 4 fireworks at Mount Rushmore for second year in a row - TheBlaze:
The Biden administration is preventing South Dakota from putting on a fireworks display at Mount Rushmore for the second year in a row, in a decision harshly criticized by Republican Gov. Kristi Noem.
In a March 14 letter, the National Park Service informed the South Dakota Department of Tourism that a request for a permit to put on the fireworks display was denied. "After careful consideration, the NPS has determined that we are unable to grant your request for this permit to hold a special event with fireworks at the Memorial," the letter stated.

"Police are forced to protect conservative debater at Yale Law FREE SPEECH event from woke students shouting 'I'll fight you b*tch': Victim warns 'future of legal profession in America is in dire straits'
- Nearly 120 Yale Law School students revolted during a free speech debate last week because they didn't like conservative panelist Kristen Waggoner
- The students screamed profanities at Waggoner, including one who threatened they would 'literally fight you, b***h'
- They also chanted 'protect trans kids' and 'shame, shame' throughout the law school building after police officers escorted the speakers out of the building
- After exiting the event they began to stomp, shout, clap, sing and pound on the hall walls
- The protesters alleged their actions were execution of free speech despite the fact that they violated university policies regarding free speech
After the dust settles and the virtue-signaling loses its novelty value, Putin will have won.
"Pay attention when Mr. Goldman is speaking.
"Zelenskyy now accepts Ukraine neutrality, Lavrov accepts Ukraine sovereignty (minus some Russian control of Donbass, not to mention Crimea, I assume). That's the shape of a compromise, along the lines of Minsk II.
As Steve Bryen has been writing, that was the only basis for a negotiated solution before, and remains so now.
Russia originally proposed Minsk II;
the French and Germans signed on;
Washington opposed it.
- For all the blather about Russian Army incompetence, it looks like Putin is accomplishing his objective: Beat up Zelenskyy until he accepts Russia's original terms.
Of course, if you believe that Putin is a new Stalin who wants to restore the Russian Empire, his army hardly seems up to the job.
But if Putin's war aims are highly focused (keep Ukraine out of NATO and missiles far from the Russian border), he seems to be succeeding.
The cost well may be higher than he expected, but he can still sell oil and gas -- the Netherlands gas price has fallen by half since the crisis peak.
After the dust settles and the virtue-signaling loses its novelty value, Putin will have won."

Biden's Remarks at 'Equal Pay' Event Were a Gaffe-Filled Dumpster Fire
"Right out of the gate, President Biden sought to explain who wasn't appearing at the event with him saying "there's been a little change in the arrangement of who's on the stage because of the First Lady's husband contracted COVID, but look at this room and what you see," Biden stated before someone off-stage in the White House pointed out that the "First Lady's husband" is...Joe Biden.
Uncomfortable laughter from the crowd followed as Biden said "that's right, she's fine, that's me that's not together." No kidding.
Biden continued by referring to Doug Emhoff as "the Second Lady" before correcting himself with (also wrong) "First Gentleman," listing two additional incorrect monikers for Kamala Harris' husband who is in fact the Second Gentleman and not the husband of the president nor the vice president's wife, nor a lady...Read all.

Climate Change Calls for Adaptation, Not Panic - WSJ--Bjorn Lomborg
Climate Change Calls for Adaptation, Not Panic - WSJ
- Catastrophic scenarios presuppose people will do nothing to adjust to differences in the weather.--By Bjorn Lomborg
You just find a current, disconcerting trend and project it into the future, while ignoring everything humanity could do to adapt.
For instance, one widely reported study found that heat waves could kill thousands more Americans by the end of the century if global warming continues apace—but only if you assume people won’t use more air conditioning.
Yes, the climate is likely to change, but so is human behavior in response.
Adaptation doesn’t make the cost of global warming go away entirely, but it does reduce it dramatically...Read all!

Inflation costs average US household $296 more per month
Inflation costs average US household $296 more per month:
Red-hot inflation is costing the average US household an additional $296.45 in expenses as surging food and fuel costs stretch budgets, according to calculations provided to The Post.
Ryan Sweet, a senior economist at Moody’s Analytics, crunched the numbers after the latest Labor Department data showed consumer prices jumped 7.9% in February. He arrived at the figure by comparing average US household spending last month to what would have been spent in 2018 and 2019, when inflation paced at 2.1%.
