    The woke destruction of learning –

    San Francisco’s Lowell High School, regarded as one of the best in the nation, is seeing a record spike in Ds and Fs among its first batch of students admitted in fall 2021 through a new lottery system instead of its decades-long merit-based admissions.
    Of the 620 first-year students admitted through the lottery, nearly one in four (24.4%) received at least one letter grade of D or F in the said semester, according to internal records obtained by the San Francisco Chronicle. This marks a triple increase from 7.9% in fall 2020 and 7.7% in fall 2019.

    Remember Paul, “Thou shall not kill.”
    Guns are not anymore dangerous or murderous since we were kids. What has changed dramatically during the past fifty years is culture. Culture has changed. The value folks put on life has changed. What we are witnessing is a declining culture with declining morality….we are witnessing the fruit of the poison tree.

    “Guns are not anymore dangerous or murderous since we were kids.”
    Funny thing, that.
    In addition, the number of households with firearms has decreased over time. There’s actually less access, not more. I suspect that the main cause of their being more total firearms, aside from the fact that they last long time and they keep making them, is older men with money buying more of The Precious.
    I was spending a few minutes look at vintage gun ads. The Boys Anti-Tank gun ($100! Culver City!) and the older Thompson machine gun ads are pretty cool. You can definitely see the change in attitude over time:

    Thing is, as part of the March Through The Institutions, we’ve gotten another fine gift from the Left. A generation of mentally-ill children. You can see it in the gender and grooming industry, the Young Pioneers angle to their organization, the fragility of their minds. It’s a perfect opportunity to follow up with more top-down control of the population.
    No, this is not the same as previous generations. The pricking of my thumbs tells me this will blow out in some ugly fashion.

    Actually, my 6:29 pm should have gone under the “to protect the children” thread. Nonetheless, I am a believer that life passes through the womb, not originates from the womb. Our form was knitted in the womb…our physical being….the place where we where made and where our consciousness began. The body just houses the soul. That’s just my opinion and no way to prove or disprove it….nor do I have desire to do either.
    While I am not a believer in reincarnation, the idea is similar. In reincarnation, one’s life, one’s soul, keeps passing through the womb but is not of the womb. Kinda metaphysical stuff. 😉

    In current events, I see that the Republicans’ favorite Senator, Joe Manchin, is in the news:
    “Joe Manchin, speaking today at the World Economic Forum, rejects the idea that the Ukraine war should ever be resolved with “some type of a treaty.” Instead demands fighting “to the end,” until total victory — which includes “getting rid of Putin” ”

    That will certainly end well.
    Twitter is a decent place to pick up on the Will of the People, at least the people who run media. Currently, the theory seems to be that nuclear war with the Russkies isn’t a problem because either:
    . None of their missiles will work. .or.
    . It’s worth it to avoid slavery at Russian hands.
    With a certain amount of ‘nuke Moscow first’ belligerence.

    There is a corollary to get woke go broke –
    The ageless star [Cruise] is in full control of his film destiny, and he clearly helped “Maverick” avoid most, if not all, of the culture war booby traps.
    No hand wringing over military might or extended emasculation of its rugged hero, for starters. No lectures on America’s imperfect past or gender inequality.
    And, suffice to say, “Top Gun: Maverick” isn’t woke in the slightest. It is, though, a testament to American excellence and the ability to achieve a goal no matter the odds.
    In other words, it didn’t do what James Bond did—turn itself into a mewling little pajama boy gerbil of a movie. It didn’t do what Star Wars did and pervert a romantic-adventure series into a shrill Womyn’s Studies lecture. Instead, Top Gun chose to respect human nature and remain what it was, what worked, and what normal people love. The audience sensed that, and now it’s over-performing and less than $10 million away from setting an all-time Memorial Day Weekend record.

    Go for it Orange Guy. I’m pulling for you. You are the best hope the Dems have.
    The Times reports: “After the first phase of the primary season concluded on Tuesday, a month in which a quarter of America’s states cast their ballots, the verdict has been clear: Mr. Trump’s aura of untouchability in Republican politics has been punctured.,” adding, “The mounting losses have emboldened Mr. Trump’s rivals inside the party to an extent not seen since early 2016 and increased the chances that, should he run again in 2024, he would face serious competition.”
    also they write:
    “…the difficult primary season has added to Mr. Trump’s personal anxieties about his standing, after he has sought to fashion himself as something of an old-school party boss in his post-presidency. He has told advisers he wants to declare his candidacy or possibly launch an exploratory committee this summer.”

    Another fallout from the election tilting suppression of the truth about the cokeheads laptop –
    The Daily Beast originally published the piece in question in December of 2020, and with no evidence whatIn other words, the man who had the laptop stole the laptop.
    Yeah, well, that man is a real person—a living human, an everyday guy named John Paul Mac Isaac. And before this man bent over backward in threes to do the right thing with a laptop that legally belonged to him, Mac Isaac was a small businessman.soever, this newwwwzzzz article misled its readers by describing the laptop as “stolen.”
    Apparently, the rest of the media accusing Mac Isaac of being a Russian spy didn’t soothe the lying Daily Beast’s bloodlust, so they threw thief on the pile.
    Well, after the corporate media’s lies and smears cost him his business and forced him to flee his home — all for the sin of doing the right thing with a laptop that legally belonged to him after Hunter Biden abandoned it in his repair shop without paying the bill — Mac Isaac filed a multi-million dollar defamation suit against the Daily Beast, CNNLOL, Politico, and Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA).
    Editor’s note: an earlier version of this story mistakenly referred to Hunter Biden’s laptop as “stolen.” We have removed that word, and we apologize to Mr. Mac Isaac for the error.
    Error.”
    Yeah.
    Right.
    Error.
    As in, We had no evidence the laptop was stolen but called you a thief anyway. chews index finger Oopsies. digs toe in dirt
    Dear Daily Best Readers:
    They lied to you about the laptop being stolen.
    Then they wait 18 months to fix the lie.
    Then the correction itself is a lie about an error.
    Do you enjoy being lied to?
    Are comforting lies more valuable to you than the truth?
    I can certainly understand wanting to read an outlet that agrees with your worldview, but how broken and failed is your worldview when you put up with so much shameless lying?
    And that’s not even the worst of it…
    They destroyed an innocent man for trying to do the right thing with the truth.
    You’re enabling monsters who lie to you.

    Berry berry bad news for the ponytail of ignorance –
    Dems’ midterm prospects are bleak – but they could get worse
    Democrats are widely expected to lose control of Congress in the midterm elections. At this point, the question is not “if” Republicans will flip the House — and likely the Senate — but rather, by how many seats.
    The president’s approval rating — which has historically been a harbinger of his party’s midterm performance — is underwater: Just 38% of registered voters approve of Joe Biden, while 57% disapprove, per a recent Quinnipiac poll. Further, the vast majority of the public (80%) is dissatisfied with the way things are going in the country today.
    Inflation and high gas prices — which are very politically powerful trends, given their tangible impact on every American — will still be persistent problems in November. In poll after poll, voters cite rising prices as the most urgent issue facing the country, and express deeply negative views of the economy and of President Biden’s handling of it, despite historically low unemployment and increased wages.
    In that sense, the White House has clearly failed to develop a compelling and reassuring economic message — as only 19% of Americans rate the economy as “excellent” or “good.” Americans also largely disapprove of President Biden’s economic leadership (63%) — including 68% of Independents — and two-thirds (67%) believe he bears at least some responsibility for inflation.
    As things stand, the annual inflation rate was recorded at a staggering 8.3% at the end of April, and the average price for a gallon of gas in the U.S. is currently $4.60, which is nearly double what it was when Joe Biden took office

    In a few more months of Bidenomics and Biden Foreign Policy, it’ll be down to “as only 1 American, the Detroit School District Director of Supply Cabinets and brother of the mayor, rates the economy as “excellent” or “good”.”
    re: Biden’s whoppers. I think the story writer is stretching a bit by call them ‘despicable’, but that’s a common term these days. It’s probably best to just consider it a combination of typical politician bluster with modern fact checking and the high likelihood that he actually believes all of it, being a feeble old man and all.
    You do have to wonder who is in charge. The War Party is fairly obviously at work in Europe, but they never left the stage. OTOH, who is behind the threat to remove school lunch money funding if you don’t let cross-dressing males use the girls’ restroom in schools? Believe me, it’s not the kind of thing a crooked old 79 year-old politician from Delaware would dream up. There’s some serious men-in-dresses mojo backstage at the White House and, naturally, the MSM quit analyzing these matters after they helped win the 2020 election.
