The climate crisis is a deception. The Great Barrier Reef's coral cover this year is in the top five of the last 39 years, and the uncertainty in the measurement is as large as the decline. Corals are 540-million-year-old animals that love warm water. facebook.com/ProjectforReal…

What had she thought she was paying? Didn't she take percentages in high-school math? Didn't she read the loan documents? We seem to have raised a generation of Eloi; they have no idea of how the world works. And so many seem to think this is visited specially upon them, that

I'm beginning to think that a big part of why we can't have nice things is that even people as seemingly innumerate as this Wall Street Apes person are allowed to vote. We need a math qualification for voting.

It all depends on what you count. Phil Gramm and colleagues added up all the transfer payments and found that the per-capita disposable income of people in the bottom-family-earnings quintile was about the same as those in the middle quintile.

This is some absolutely terrifying news about Glacier National Park. “𝑇ℎ𝑒 ℎ𝑜𝑡 𝑑𝑟𝑦 𝑠𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑎𝑠𝑡 𝑓𝑒𝑤 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑠 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑐𝑎𝑢𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝒓𝒂𝒑𝒊𝒅 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝒈𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒊𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝑮𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒊𝒆𝒓 𝑵𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒌,

She's right about the twenty-first century. Wrong about the great dumb-down in the last half of the 1990s. In 1995, 0.8% of test-takers got a score in the 700s on Verbal, 1.8% in math. Those numbers had been steady since 1981. In 1996, those percentages jumped to 3.8% percent

Everyone says their own country should be more like Sweden. Bernie Sanders built his campaign around it. AOC points to it constantly. But if you really want to "be like Sweden," you'd have to abolish property, inheritance, and wealth taxes, cut corporate rates, and privatize

Ending crime and unwanted migration was always as simple as it seemed to you and your buddies at the bar or on the track. A great, great deal of mid-wit noise was made to disguise this. This is true for most things.

DC Police Department The man who attacked me was arrested by diligent DC police officers on 5 separate incidents as we waited to go to trial. But after every arrest, the judge permitted his immediate release, even when he was caught in public with a machete. washingtonexaminer.com/op-eds/3498600…

Elizabeth Warren and the Democrats used the CFPB as a way of debanking their political opponents, they did it to Kanye West The court just ruled Trump can proceed with reducing the staff by up to (90%) We're living in the best of times folks 👍

See how the pro-big-government types squeal when the shoe is on the other foot.

"The savings are huge"? The average speeds of the Indianapolis "bus rapid transit" routes that resulted from doubling stop spacing are no greater than those of its conventional, closer-spaced routes. More reason to suspect that the "help" we get from "public transit geeks"

I PREDICTED THIS 20 YEARS AGO. It's very funny how they pick their explanations to fit their climate crisis narratives. When sea ice loss was accelerating it was all due to CO2. Now that sea ice has virtually stopped melting it's blamed on natural variability. They still can't

If you *only* used SAT to admit to elite colleges, share of admits from top 1% income falls 15.8% → 9.9% and representation from <$200k rises by +8.8%, with no reduction in post-college outcomes. It's 'holistic review' and 'ban SAT' policy that allows the most wealthy and

I have loved Teddy Roosevelt's declamation on immigrants and immigration for many years, but now is a good time for his eloquence to be more widely known. I will also specify that I agree with both the third paragraph and the final paragraph.

Nuclear physicist, William Happer, Professor at Princeton University, home of Einstein and Oppenheimer: "Alarms about climate change “are delusions,” says US scientist. "Climate change is real but it is natural. The alarms have no scientific basis. The fears that are woven around

The Second Amendment isn’t about hunting or sport. It’s about the right of every individual to defend their life, liberty, and property. A government that can disarm you can own you, and a citizen who cannot fight back is no longer a citizen, but a subject.

Black and Hispanic students at Success Academy outperform public school peers. “That’s redefining American public education,” says the charter’s Chief Schooling Officer. Here’s how they do it:
