The “Russian hacking” NATO psyop has finally been solved
barovsky, The New Dark Age - 8 hours ago
To professional analysts, it has long been clear that the “Russiagate” saga – including the “Russian hacking” claims, the Trump-Russia collusion claims, as well as the “Skripal poisoning incident” and the more recent “Navalny poisoning incident” – has been a US and NATO psychological operation aimed at containing a resurgent Russia and a somewhat unpredictable US President.

Americans needs a religious revival says famous agnostic
Norma, Collecting My Thoughts - 8 hours ago
“The Founders were not really super orthodox,” Charles Murray observed. “They were all nominally Christians, but they wouldn’t pass the litmus test for a lot of evangelicals today. But they were absolutely, emphatically agreed that you cannot have a free society with a constitution such as the one they had created unless you are trying to govern a religious people. If you do not have religion as the controlling force, then the kinds of laws we have could not possibly work.” Without religion, Murray told me, there was simply no “intrinsic motivation” for people to behave morally — a...

Third Grade Reading Retention: Still A Bad Idea
Peter Greene, CURMUDGUCATION - 8 hours ago
A former colleague of mine, a math teacher, used to say, "Don't even teach primary students math. Just teach them to read. By the time they get to me, if they can read well, I can teach them all the math you want." That was many years ago, long before the rise of third grade reading retention laws. But those laws, while (usually) well-intentioned, are a terrible, rotten, no good, really bad idea. Sixteen states require third graders to pass a standardized reading test in order to be promoted to fourth grade. Most of them allow for some exceptions, but not all, and not all the time...

Proportionality, equity and percentages, Thomas Sowell
Norma, Collecting My Thoughts - 9 hours ago
So many areas of research and information are being damaged by the equity and/or proportionality myth. Every minor subdivision in archeology or biophysics or cytology or even librarianship must now have its search committees focusing on gender and color instead of number of research projects completed or published articles or work record. Every time I pass a competitive sport event on TV (because I don't sit down to watch), I don't see anyone who looks like me, either on the field, on the bench or even in the stands. I think that's as it should be. And if it's football or basketb...

The Constitutionality of Trying a Former President Impeached While In Office

The U.S. Capitol Building in snow. (Architect of the Capitol) In his answer to the article of impeachment charging him with inciting insurrection, President Trump has claimed that the Senate may not constitutionally try, convict and disqualify him from future federal office because, although he was impeached while still the president, his term has now expired. Recently in these pages, Professor Philip Bobbitt lent his considerable prestige to the proposition that the Constitution bars such a trial. I find Professor Bobbitt’s arguments unpersuasive.
