Report: Teachers' union under Randi Weingarten 'colluded' with Biden administration to keep schools shuttered and on CDC messaging - TheBlaze:
Newly revealed emails detailed by the New York Post highlight how the American Federation of Teachers and its boss Randi Weingarten exerted significant influence over the Biden administration and shaped the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's school reopening guidance, which halted the full reopening of in-person classes.

Polls’ Representative Samples Often Merit Skepticism
Polls’ Representative Samples Often Merit Skepticism 
"When people read about a poll, they are often told something like this:
- Pollsters call a random group of people.
- Though small, we can infer this group is a representative sample of the U.S. population because it was selected randomly.
- Then, if we know the sample size, we can calculate the margin of error, which helps us understand how likely the survey results are to capture reality.
- This Statistics 101 version frequently carries a disclaimer to the effect: “These findings come from a nationally representative sample of 2,000 Americans with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.2%.”
Here is the uncomfortable truth.
Though the disclaimer remains, nearly nobody does the textbook version of polling anymore...

Tucker Carlson ousted at Fox over speech stressing the importance of prayer and the evil nature of the forces besetting America, claims insider - TheBlaze
Tucker Carlson ousted at Fox over speech stressing the importance of prayer and the evil nature of the forces besetting America, claims insider - TheBlaze:
Tucker Carlson may have been given the boot at Fox News over his emphasis on the importance of prayer and his suggestion that America is not presently afflicted by bad politics, but rather by the forces of evil.
Carlson gave a keynote speech Friday at the Heritage Foundation's 50th anniversary gala in Maryland wherein he stressed that the old political binary fails to account for the division presently afflicting America. Instead, it can be better understood in theological or spiritual terms as a battle of good versus evil, suggested the 53-year-old.

'Did USAID Fund Coronavirus Research In Wuhan China?' "Should we be funding the Academy of Military Medical Research in China? ...Some of the research proposals in 2018 were the Wuhan Insitute of Virology asking for money to create a virus with a furin cleavage site. A SARS-like coronavirus with a furin cleavage site. That's exactly what COVID-19 turned out to be. So we want to know if there were other research proposals you either granted or denied that was in the same vain as creating viruses that could have become COVID-19. We can't tell because you won't give us information... I now have 25 Senators that have sent you a letter, and you aren't responding... You are being dishonest."

Nolte: Tucker Carlson Will Wipe Those Smug Smirks off Left-Wing Faces:
And that wiped the smug smile right off of Peoples’ face, which is what’s about to happen to all the dummies currently lol’n at Tucker Carlson.
Before I go any further, let me clear the air… I don’t know Tucker Carlson. I’ve never met Tucker Carlson. And my overriding disgust with all things cable news stops me from being a Tucker Carlson fan. Obviously, I agree with him more than not. But there are things he’s said and done I disagree with. In other words, this is pure observation on my part. I have no investment in what I’m about to say, which is this: However Carlson decides to roar back, he will do so with even more power and influence than he had at Cuck News.
This is true for several reasons…

Michigan school district faces lawsuit after forcing students to remove 'Let's go Brandon' sweatshirts | Fox News:
FIRE said the incident involving the two students is part of a "pattern of political favoritism" by the school district and that it is "wrongly relying on a policy that prohibits ‘profane’ clothing to censor this particular message."
"When the school district relaxed the dress code for field day, a school administrator ordered a student to stop wearing a Trump flag as a cape, but permitted other students to wear gay pride flags in the same manner," the group said in a press release announcing the lawsuit.
Study Shows Mothers of Boys With Gender Issues Are Mental
Study Shows Mothers of Boys With Gender Issues Are Mental - BY ATHENA THORN"The abstract of a scientific study published in 1991 has been making the rounds on social media, and it is shocking on two levels.
- The first wave of shock (although not surprise) comes at you from what the study discovered: the mothers of gender dysphoric boys tend to suffer from a host of mental illnesses of their own...
- The second shock from reading the study abstract is that it draws conclusions that no one is allowed to suggest, much less study, these days. You look over your shoulder as you read to make sure nobody sees you. The very first few words of the piece — “This pilot study compared mothers of boys with gender identity disorder (GID) with mothers of normal boys…” — are enough these days to cost someone their job.
You want to weep for the deliberate blinding of intellectual inquiry.
What a tragedy —
What a tragedy —
- for science,
- for the pursuit of truth, and
- most of all, for the children abandoned to this fate.
God help them.

HANS A. VON SPAKOVSKY: Columbia Law School — EXPOSED."Note: This is the fourth in a 10-part series at PJ Media examining what our nation’s top 10 law schools – according to U.S. News and World Report – are teaching.
J. Christian Adams and I are undertaking a deep dive into what is being taught in these law schools.
We have already covered Yale, Stanford, and Chicago.
If you thought based on our coverage of the curriculums at Yale, Stanford, and Chicago that you had seen the worst of the political indoctrination that passes for a law school education these days, wait until you see the curriculum at the Columbia Law School in New York City.

- Parents are paying $331,350 — or students are going into enormous debt — for what amounts to a three-year reeducation camp at Columbia to produce leftist social warriors who will, as Christian says, “upend centuries of legal traditions and institutions,” including trashing the U.S. Constitution, to usher in the Marxist, socialist utopia they think we should be...
