I’ve had enough of these grifters. If another government comes whining for slavery reparations from the country that distinguished itself by its relentless global abolitionism, we should treat it as a hostile act and respond with economic sanctions. dailymail.com/debate/article…

Good anti-spam info from the FCC:

I went to the school of @nhannahjones's daughter. 💵 It spends $52,000 per kid 👩‍👩‍👧‍👦 80% of children are Black/Hispanic 📚 Just 1 in 4 are proficient in math/reading Neither racism nor funding are the problem. A nearby charter school teaches us a lesson.

NEW: We visited PS 307, the failing public school that Nikole Hannah-Jones sent her daughter to. The teachers make an average of over $100,000 a year. The school spends $52,000 per student each year. The student/teacher ratio is 9 to 1. We went to another school just down the street that spends less than half of what PS 307 does—yet the academic outcomes are significantly better. Underfunding and racism aren't causing schools to fail. @DanielDiMartino explains what is:

This is one of those facts that conservatives and libertarians in ed policy circles know, and no one else does. Note: we point this out frequently to reporters but it never seems to make it into the articles.

A landmark Finnish study has found a sharp rise in psychiatric illness among adolescents following sex-alteration procedures. The peer-reviewed study, published in Acta Paediatrica, tracked every young person under 23 who contacted Finland's gender clinics between 1996 and 2019. A total 2,083 individuals were studied, with 16,643 matched controls. They were followed for up to 25 years. Finland's health registers are mandatory, which means no one opts out — this is the complete national picture. The numbers: psychiatric morbidity rose from 9.8% to 60.7% in adolescents who underwent feminising reassignment, and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising reassignment. Even after adjusting for prior psychiatric history, gender-referred adolescents faced five times the risk of male population controls, and three times the risk of female controls. "Psychiatric needs do not subside after medical gender reassignment," the authors concluded. Referrals after 2010 arrived sicker. 47.9% had already needed psychiatric treatment before their first clinic visit, against 15.3% among controls. The authors' read: for some adolescents, gender distress may be secondary to other mental health challenges. The evidence keeps mounting. The silencing continues anyway. How many more adolescents will be told this is "care"?

Reminder: US schools serving low-income and non-white communities get more money per pupil not less and have for a long time

The liberals are now admitting that "anti-racism" is just lowering standards and obscuring accountability mechanisms. They're even calling their equity efforts "racism under the guise of antiracism." Incredible.

There is no correlation at all between how much a school district spends and how well its students perform.

Germany's PISA score rises 41 points if you exclude immigrant kids. Switzerland: +30. The UAE's score drops 45 points without immigrants. Singapore, Macao, the UAE, and Qatar recruit immigrants smarter than their native populations; Europe, the opposite

A few years back, a friend of mine looked into the 2018 American National Election Study pilot, and he found that every racial group felt warmth towards members of their own race, except for White liberals I wanted to see if that replicated and expand on it🧵 #1: It replicates

I think the IMF has never praised a country's government as much as they have @JMilei and it's absolutely deserved. Milei has achieved and will continue to achieve an ECONOMIC MIRACLE in Argentina. Free markets work.

A cop explains how Flock actually works in a great Works in Progress essay.

I'd like to suggest that promoting child marriage, stoning, halal animal torture, wife beating, sharia courts, and other behaviour contrary to British values, should now be referred to as Anglophobia

President Trump is right about data centers: "If you pick the right location, what it means for a community is jobs and lots of money and lower taxes. The data centers now are mandated by me that they build their own electricity, so they're not taking it from the grid."

I want that poor old woman to be able to enjoy an afternoon breeze on her own goddamn porch without having to duck bullets. Allowing police to use ALPRs like Flock to improve their chances of finding that car before the shooters ditch it is just common sense.

The United States Mission to Belgium condemns, in the strongest terms, Ghent University’s retaliation against an American scholar following his accurate whistleblower reporting on academic fraud. The United States government regularly funds and supports research, academic exchanges, and other engagements with overseas universities. Dishonest, corrupt institutions that engage in, or reward, scapegoating mob behavior are not desirable partners for us. This is particularly true where the purpose and effect of the scapegoating is to punish accurate journalism unearthing academic dishonesty. We are therefore reviewing any relationships we have with Ghent University. Bad-faith idealogues will try to make this a referendum on the content of Cofnas’s scholarship – or polemical distortions of it. That’s wrong. Free speech means that controversial views are protected. And Cofnas’s views were known to Ghent University when he was hired. The ultimate purpose of freedom of speech is to overturn lies, fraud, and false ideologies. This is precisely what Cofnas was doing, and precisely the reason his home institution wants to silence him. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

So wrong. University leaders must denounce this, as I do.
