Washington Schools Beg for Enrollments - Louder With Crowder

Washington Schools Beg for Enrollments - Louder With Crowder

It isn’t often that I get to write about public education and manage a smile, but the idea of public schools crumbling under the weight of their own massive failure is just too amazing. And as the Post Millennial reports, public schools in Washington state saw over 40,000 students leave, and projections forecast another 1,400 students leaving in the academic year 2021-2022.

Those are some brutal numbers.

They bow to their god, GlobalWarming.

"Putin has not only turned himself into an international pariah.."

Instapundit--Russia’s only path back to international acceptance is Putin on a platter.

"THOUGHTS FROM A SMART FRIEND:

Putin has not only turned himself into an international pariah, laughingstock and domestic failure. He is costing the oligarchs a lot of money.

That creates a lot of tension. It puts him in danger, and makes him dangerous, to any possible rivals as well as to Ukraine and the rest of us...So how does that play out?

Badly for someone.--Posted by

This Ad Lib During Biden's SOTU Speech Went Horribly Wrong

This Ad Lib During Biden's SOTU Speech Went Horribly Wrong

"...It happened shortly after Biden essentially claimed responsibility for ending the pandemic, and promised to continue to push for people to get vaccinated.

“We’ve sent 475 Million vaccine doses to 112 countries, more than any other nation. And we won’t stop,” he said. “Because you can’t build a wall high enough to keep out…a, a, a, uhh, a vaccine—the vaccine can stop the spread of these diseases.”

Well, that was awkward...Read all.

Shocking Lessons U.S. Military Leaders Learned by Watching Putin's Invasion

Shocking Lessons U.S. Military Leaders Learned by Watching Putin's Invasion
  • Russia's military is weak and backwards.
"After just one day of fighting, Russia's ground force lost most of its initial momentum, undermined by shortages of fuel, ammunition and even food, but also because of a poorly trained and led force. 
...Other military observers are flabbergasted that a Russian invasion force, fully prepared and operating from Russian soil, has been able to move just tens of miles into an adjoining country. 
One retired U.S. Army general told Newsweek in an email: "We know that Russia has a plodding army and that Russian military force has always been a blunt instrument, but why risk the antipathy of the entire planet if you have no prospect of achieving even minimal gains."...Read all.

CNN's own heavily Dem poll gave Biden lowest 'very positive' SOTU response in 15 years: 'The tide did not turn tonight' - TheBlaze

CNN's own heavily Dem poll gave Biden lowest 'very positive' SOTU response in 15 years: 'The tide did not turn tonight' - TheBlaze

The "very positive" number is down 10 points from 2021, when CNN recorded a "very positive" reaction among 51% of respondents. The significant drop is a problem for Biden because, as Chalian explained, "that 41% is the lowest very positive we’ve seen in about the last 15 years of instant polling after the State of the Union address."

American oligarch hypocrites!-----The hypocrisy of Coca-Cola | Washington Examiner

The hypocrisy of Coca-Cola | Washington Examiner
"In March of last year, days after Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed new voting reform legislation, Atlanta-based Coca-Cola CEO James Quincey said
“This legislation is unacceptable. It is a step backwards … and needs to be remedied, and we will continue to advocate for it both in private and now even more in public.”
...Within days, Major League Baseball had pulled the All Star Game out of the state. Delta Airlines, Home Depot, Porsche Cars, and the Atlanta Falcons — all Georgia-based companies — also slammed the law based on false Democratic Party talking points about what it said and did.
And, of course, Coca-Cola also tweeted its displeasure with the law.
One year later, Coca-Cola is eerily silent on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. 
Russia is one of the company’s most profitable markets, as the soda giant operates out of the country as Swiss-based bottler Coca-Cola HBC. 
It announced last Tuesday they had contingency plans to cope with the crisis, which included stockpiling ingredients to limit any disruption in their massive Russian market...Read all.

According to a 2021 report, Gates was the largest private farmland owner in the United States with an estimated 242,000 acres of farmland, according to analysis by The Land Report.

Russia has mobile crematoriums that 'evaporate' the dead: report
"The British Ministry of Defense released video of the trucks that can incinerate bodies one at a time and suggested Wednesday that the Kremlin might deploy them in its war with Ukraine to hide the number of casualties, the Telegraph reported.
“If I was a soldier and knew that my generals had so little faith in me that they followed me around the battlefield with a mobile crematorium, or I was the mother or father of a son, potentially deployed into a combat zone, and my government thought that the way to cover up losses was a mobile crematorium, I’d be deeply, deeply worried,” UK Defense Secretary Ben Wallace told the paper...Read all!

Bidenflation Pushes Durable Goods Prices Up Most in 47 Years

Bidenflation Pushes Durable Goods Prices Up Most in 47 Years

The personal consumption expenditures price index for durable goods, products intended to last three years or more, increased one percent from a month earlier in January, the Department of Commerce said. That matched the December increase and, absent last year’s extreme price increases, would have been the largest gain since 1980.

The West’s Green Delusions Empowered Putin

The West’s Green Delusions Empowered Putin
  • While we banned plastic straws, Russia drilled and doubled nuclear energy production.
"How has Vladimir Putin—a man ruling a country with an economy smaller than that of Texas, with an average life expectancy 10 years lower than that of France—managed to launch an unprovoked full-scale assault on Ukraine?
...He wants Ukraine to be part of Russia more than the West wants it to be free. 
...Missing from that explanation, though, is a story about material reality and basic economics—two things that Putin seems to understand far better than his counterparts in the free world and especially in Europe.
  • Putin knows that Europe produces 3.6 million barrels of oil a day but uses 15 million barrels of oil a day. 
  • Putin knows that Europe produces 230 billion cubic meters of natural gas a year but uses 560 billion cubic meters. 
  • He knows that Europe uses 950 million tons of coal a year but produces half that...Read all!
