School Choice
Now that Texas and South Carolina have passed school choice bills, parents will be able to choose the best school for their kids in 17 states. 
Why not all states? - John Stossel
After all, competition improves services.
But in most of America, parents have little or no choice when it comes to which school their kids attend.

- The Post Office couldn't get it there overnight. Then FedEx showed it could be done. Quickly, UPS and DHL did it, too, and now even the Post Office does ... sometimes.

Bureaucrats decide based on where you live.
- Live in a neighborhood with lousy schools?
- Too bad for your kids...

Kathryn Porter: The True Affordability of Net Zero
My report reviews in depth the costs of renewable generation and their impact on our bills, driving British industrial electricity costs to the highest in the developed world, and our domestic costs to fourth highest.
- My report sets out all of the additional costs applied to bills as a result of net zero policies which in 2023-24 amounted to over £17 billion, and are projected to increase to over £20 billion per year in 2029-30.
- My analysis indicates that had Britain continued with its legacy gas-based power system in the period since 2006, consumers would have been almost £220 billion better off (2025 money) even taking into account the impact of the gas crisis...
'Self-deport' flights begin as some illegal migrants take advantage of Trump's tempting offer: Report | Blaze Media
'Self-deport' flights begin as some illegal migrants take advantage of Trump's tempting offer: Report | Blaze Media:
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has urged all immigrants in the U.S. illegally to participate in the program. "If you are here illegally, self-deportation is the best, safest, and most cost-effective way to leave the United States to avoid arrest," Noem said in a statement on May 5.
Those who voluntarily step forward on the app and make "meaningful strides in completing" their departure may have the opportunity to return to the U.S. someday. They will also avoid arrest and perhaps lengthy pre-deportation detention.

Summary: Regardless of one's opinions on NPR's federal funding, the station should be more forthcoming about how much taxpayer money it actually receives.
Fascinating, great read!-----Trump’s Polling Better Than Media Thinks
However, a closer look at today’s polling reveals a far different story. - J.T. YoungThe dispersed shot-pattern of President Trump’s approval ratings proves he’s still confounding pollsters.
For weeks, and especially since Trump’s announcement of sweeping tariffs on what he dubbed Liberation Day, the establishment media’s prevailing narrative has been that the president is plummeting in the polls...
- But what of the quality of the pollsters themselves?..
The breakdown according to pollster performance is strikingly similar to the breakdown by respondent type...
Not only did Trump poll better with the most motivated respondents, he also did markedly better with the higher-ranked pollsters.
Not only did Trump poll better with the most motivated respondents, he also did markedly better with the higher-ranked pollsters.
To paraphrase Mark Twain, reports of Trump’s demise in the polls are greatly exaggerated. It isn’t the first time a general overview of polls has gotten him wrong. It likely won’t be the last. There’s a reason why Trump is able to disregard polls with impunity; and there’s all the more reason we should scrutinize them carefully.
In 2000, we obtained 76.8% of our energy from fossil fuels. By 2023, that number decreased to 76.5%.
Ivy League University Staff Pays the Price for School's Stubbornness
Ivy League University Staff Pays the Price for School's Stubbornness:
Columbia’s stubbornness is a case study in elite entitlement. The university’s leaders, insulated by their wealth and privilege, can afford to posture. They’ll weather this storm in their mansions, while the staff they’ve laid off face uncertainty. It’s a disgrace that the consequences of their decisions fall on others.
The Trump administration’s action was a response to a crisis Columbia helped create. Anti-Semitic harassment on campus reached alarming levels, and the school’s failure to act prompted the grant revocations. Trump’s mandate wasn’t unreasonable; it was a demand for basic decency. Columbia’s refusal to comply is a choice, not a tragedy, as Shipman would like to frame it.
Must read/share!-----“Economic prosperity demands continuous and uninterruptible electricity.”
“The intermittent electricity from so-called renewables CANNOT support AI and Datacenters.” - Stephen Heins
We have 4 proven ways to generate continuous uninterruptible electricity:
• Coal
• Natural gas
• Nuclear
• Hydro
We have 2 ways to generate intermittent, unreliable weather dependent electricity:
• Wind turbines
• Solar panels...
- It has been forecasted by numerous organizations, including the North America Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) that the U.S. needs about 125,000 MW of new electricity generation capacity by 2030 and about 600,000 MW of new generation capacity by 2050 to meet the growing demands for electricity.
- Nuclear is a good idea but it will require more time to rebuild the supply chain. Natural gas plants, in our opinion, are overbuilt and nearly all of them have no on-site fuel storage and are always susceptible to pipeline flow disruptions.

'Crime against this republic': Top CNN face says Dems will 'pay for a long time' for Biden cover-up * WorldNetDaily * by Jason Cohen, Daily Caller News Foundation:
CNN's Van Jones warned Sunday that Democrats will suffer long-term political consequences for covering up President Joe Biden's physical and mental decline.
"Three clips. 1. Anderson Cooper accusing the right of selectively editing videos to make Biden look cognitively impaired.
Cooper went on to claim that Obama did not have to guide Biden off the stage at the fundraiser, which was a total lie. - MAZE
@mazemoore
2. Cooper selectively editing video to spread a hoax. He literally cut off Trump's speech seconds before Trump condemned white supremacy and neo-nazis. This is the definitely of fake news.
3. Trump's words that Anderson Cooper cut out.
This is CNN.
Another criminal scam from the left!-----This Foreign Aid Agency Locked Its Doors To Keep DOGE Out. Now We Know Why.
Money intended for Africans was secretly re-routed to D.C. bureaucrats and their friends by racist, abusive bosses - Luke RosiakIts board sued to stop DOGE, and was lauded by the Left for objecting to granting “access to USADF systems including financial records, payment and human resources systems.”
But the objection, several former employees told The Daily Wire, might not have been on principled grounds, but rather because those records amounted to a crime scene.

- The African Development Foundation’s employees have been sounding the alarm for years about self-dealing, cruelty, and anti-white discrimination.
- Money sent to Africa was then wired to the personal bank accounts of bureaucrats in Washington, D.C.
- An official promoted his for-profit, multi-level marketing scheme to poor Africans.
- Law enforcement identified possible criminal kickbacks.
And those who now lament DOGE’s shuttering of the agency did nothing to fix it when they had a chance...

"Simon Michaux's assessment is that the current production rates and world reserves for various metals (copper, lithium, nickel, cobalt, graphite, and vanadium) are inadequate for meeting projected demand for a phasing out of fossil fuels." - Bjørn K Vottestad
According the the IEA, https://lnkd.in/gvmh2HyT, solar and wind use about 5-10 times more metals per unit of electricity generating capacity than natural gas.
According the the IEA, https://lnkd.in/gvmh2HyT, solar and wind use about 5-10 times more metals per unit of electricity generating capacity than natural gas.
And because that capacity does not work most of the time, the metal use per kWh generated is even heavier.
The IEA only tells part of the story.

- The path to a 100% renewable future requires way more metals than they disclose, because they largely ignore adequate battery backup...

WATCH: Kash Patel and Dan Bongino asked point blank: Was the FBI egging people on during Jan. 6? * WorldNetDaily * by Joe Kovacs:
The top two officials at the Federal Bureau of Investigation appeared on national television Sunday to clarify numerous mysteries, including the FBI's role in the U.S. Capitol mayhem on Jan. 6, 2021, the two assassination attempts on President Donald Trump and the purported suicide of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Appearing on "Sunday Morning Futures" with Maria Bartiromo on the Fox News Channel, FBI Director Kash Patel said about Jan. 6: "What was the FBI doing? Well we've got answers coming. We just found a trove of information and it's on its way to Capitol Hill right now. And they've asked, and they're getting them. And you're getting the answers on Jan. 6.
