Iran Needs to Believe America’s Threat
If the U.S. does not take forceful action to check Tehran’s progress toward a nuclear bomb, Israel will. That’s a much more dangerous scenario.

Federal Officials Have Yet to Review Nine Boxes of Biden Documents for Classified Material

QUOTES
“…the FBI, in addition to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A), “did not consistently follow agency policies or procedures for processing tips or potential threats because they did not have controls to ensure compliance with policies,” GAO says. The Capitol Police, the watchdog adds, “did not share threat products with its frontline officers

“The fact that Democrats are plying boys with tampons amid a national shortage of feminine hygiene products transforms craziness into callousness. The so-called Party of Women is so busy satisfying its exotic fantasies that it treats its base with sheer cruelty. Women across America should remember this at the next election.”
=======
“After the life-changing stroke, days before the Democratic primary last year, Mr. Fetterman briefly pared down his schedule to recover. But he continued his campaign in one of the most competitive and closely watched Senate races in the nation. Now, the possibility that he may have missed out on a crucial recovery period has become a source of pain and frustration for Mr. Fetterman and people close to him, who fear that he may suffer long-term and potentially permanent repercussions. His schedule as a freshman senator has meant that he has continued to push himself in ways that people close to him worry are detrimental.”
=======
“[Randi] Weingarten is an excellent representative of the teachers union lobby. Conservatives and other pro-science, pro-child, pro-education Americans should hope that she remains the face of said lobby for the foreseeable future. The lobby deserves her. May she actively alienate, clumsily lie, and off-puttingly screech on their behalf for years to come.”
=======
“After a surge of hiring sprees to staff diversity, equity, and inclusion divisions following George Floyd’s murder in 2020, companies are scaling back DEI programs faster than they’re cutting other departments. Compared to a 21% attrition rate for other types of roles, those working in DEI faced a 33% attrition rate at the end of 2022, according to a new analysis by workforce trend consultant Revelio Labs. Perhaps most stark for the field built on the premise of correcting structural imbalances for Black Americans, only 3.8% of chief diversity officers were Black, with white people accounting for 76% of the top titles…”

“The Illinois legislature has repeatedly earmarked $150,000 to a mosque notorious for its ties to Hamas, a group designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S. government. For reasons that are unclear, the money has not made its way into the mosque’s coffers. Still, the money keeps being earmarked — it’s happened every year since 2021. Legislators in the state are reluctant to reveal who keeps putting the money for the mosque into the state budget for approval. It’s described as a “member-driven initiative,” but no one is willing or able to say who the member was, nor have they said why the money has yet to be disbursed to the mosque. To make matters even more opaque, no one from the office of Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has responded to repeated queries about the line item in the budget.”

"I don't put companies here in New York anymore, or in Massachusetts, or in New Jersey, or in California. Those states are uninvestable. The policy here is insane; the taxes are too high," O'Leary explained, adding, "the regulatory environment is punitive. I had a project in Upstate New York behind the grid in Niagara Falls for electricity — a global data center we were building. Eventually, it got so bad with the politicians in the local region and the state policy we moved it to Norway and all the jobs."
========
“When institutions proclaim that academic freedom and inclusion coexist in a kind of synergistic harmony, they are trafficking in PR-driven wishful thinking. In the hardest cases, there is no way of upholding an “all are welcome here” brand of inclusion while simultaneously defending academic freedom. Instead, we should turn to the wise words of Hanna Holborn Gray, former president of the University of Chicago: “Education should not be intended to make people comfortable, it is meant to make them think.””
========
“Ilya Shapiro, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, one of the authors of model state legislation, said he was struck — and heartened — by how quickly state lawmakers have moved to rein in colleges’ diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. “Six months ago, I was despairing at the prospect of any sort of reform in higher education to push back on the illiberal tide,” Shapiro said. Now, he said, he is “a little less pessimistic” but still waiting to see what happens.”
=========
“We’ve traced a lot of wokeness to activism in schools and cutting out the parent. They must do it through secrecy because it’s unpopular,” she continued. “If parents wanted it, this wouldn’t be a big deal. They cut the parents out of the child’s life, and this is all by design, so they can implement their new religion to your children.”
=========
“Tucker Carlson and the January 6 committee have pushed very different narratives of the riot. Neither one is accurate.”
=========
“Representative Stacey Plaskett (D., Virgin Islands) ripped into Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger during a Thursday hearing on the Twitter Files, accusing the pair of journalists of endangering the lives of Twitter employees by exposing how the social-media platform partnered with various federal agencies to censor disfavored political views.”
=========
“Whatever is called by the media as the “big lie” regarding that election, there are still facts that make little sense. The biggest states in the union—California, Texas, New York, Illinois—all called the election in the hours after polls closed. Yet, much smaller states such as Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona and Georgia, somehow could not get their votes tallied for several days. And all of those states were leaning Trump (pink) on election night only to go fully Biden four days later.”
