Introducing the Public Education Hostility Index
Here at the Curmudgucation Institute, we have always realized that we are lacking one thing that every good thinky tank and Institute and Foundation has--reports. So we finally buckled down and created the American Public Education State Hostility Index (APESHI). This report now has its very own website. The goal was to address the question, "Which states are the most hostile to public education right now?" To answer that question, we picked some factors to consider, like funding and state leadership and gag laws, assigned states numerical ratings, and added all the numbers togeth... read more

Is It Time to Consider ‘Migration Interventionism’?*R. T. Howard* *Migration, World* Given the rapidly emergent threat posed by mass migration in general, and its weaponization of migration in particular, could the advent of “migration interventionism” by Western governments curb those flows at the source? How can the Western world respond to the mass migration of desperate refugees and economic migrants into its territory? The challenge seems all the more pressing in the light of the tragic scenes along the Polish-Belarussian border, where Vladimir Putin and Aleksander Lukashenko appear to have “weaponized” migrant flows into t... read more

Afghanistan-Pakistan Tensions Persist After the Taliban Takeover*Rupert Stone* *Taliban, South Asia* Always lurking beneath the surface is Afghan’s deep suspicion towards their supposedly meddlesome neighbor. As the United States prepared to withdraw from Afghanistan earlier this year, I wrote that Pakistan should fear a Taliban takeover of the country. In the case of a Taliban takeover, sanctions would likely be imposed on a Taliban regime, impairing trade and investment and giving the already massive Afghan drug trade a further boost. Pakistan could also face heightened security risks from terror groups harbored by the Taliban, chiefly Teh... read more

The ratio doesn’t really change if they change the dose, e.g., to a third of the adult dose. It means fewer kids saved and fewer kids killed, but Toby estimates the ratio would be about the same.

Where The Independent leads the BBC follows
We were discussing on the open thread how *The Independent* disgraced itself overnight with the following headline: It was, of course, three white men. *These* three white men: *The Independent *subsequently edited it to remove the word 'black' but should never have posted it in the first place. And guess what's happened now? Here's a tweet from BBC Pidgin: They've now deleted it and sent out a new one [without an apology]. Here's a flavour of the reaction: *Lord of Adders Black*: Will you be issuing an apology @bbcnewspidgin for trying to stir up racial tension by stating the... read more

These 5 World War Guns Laid the Foundation for Modern Assault Rifles*Peter Suciu* *World War II, Europe* The French were actually the first to deploy such a weapon, the largely disparaged Chauchat. *Here's What You Need To Remember:* The concept began in the First World War. The concept of a “squad automatic weapon” was not new to the Second World War, and was in fact developed a generation earlier in the mud-soaked trenches of the First World War. The French were actually the first to deploy such a weapon, the largely disparaged Chauchat. While it suffered from design flaws it was still an innovative weapon. During World War II, that concept e... read more

Can the Navy Use Forward-Placed Ships for Mobile Refueling?*David Axe* *Amphibious Ships, Indo-Pacific* Turning an amphibious ship into a refueling platform probably wouldn’t involve a lot of changes to the vessel’s hardware. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Forward arming and refueling ships could fit into the major operating concepts the Marines and Navy are working on. The Marines are shifting away from counterinsurgency and traditional beach-assaults in favor of so-called “expeditionary advanced base operations.” The U.S. Marine Corps’s new strategy for fighting Chinese forces in the Western Pacific could orphan many of the U.S. ... read more

This Submarine Is Germany’s Way Back into the Naval Warfare Game*Peter Suciu* *Military Affairs, Europe* As the German Navy has expanded its operating area to cover the waters of Northern Europe, the North Atlantic, and the Mediterranean Sea, the Type-212A has been crucial. *Here's What You Need To Remember:* The Type-212A offers an even greater range, diving depth and displacement than its predecessor submarines while being equipped with improved communications systems and reconnaissance capabilities. Germany wasn’t the first nation to utilize submarines, but in 1905 followed the British Royal Navy’s new focus on the then-cutting edge techn... read more

NATO versus Russia: This Showdown Would’ve Been Apocalyptic*Robert Farley* *NATO vs. Russia, * It became apparent that NATO would need to come to some understanding of how to fight Warsaw Pact forces. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *It’s hardly obvious that NATO forces could have won; the Warsaw Pact had massive material advantages, and a well-conceived planning apparatus that welded all of the alliance partners (that is, Soviet satellites) into a cohesive whole. Fortunately, the Soviet Union decided to fade away instead of burn out, and we never learned whether NATO’s plan for defeating a Communist invasion would have worked. Even ... read more

International Crime Cabal’s Covid-19 Disaster: Let the Nuremberg 2.0 Trials Begin*This was an intentional bio-weaponization of spike proteins to inject into people to get them addicted to a ‘pancoronavirus’ vaccine. This has nothing to do with a pathogen that was released… This is about getting people injected with a known to be harmful S1 spike protein… The tragedy is we are in a world where we have hundreds of millions of people being injected with a pathogen-stimulating computer sequence, which is being sold under what the patent office, what the medical profession, and what the FDA and its own Clinical Standards would not suggest is a vaccine, but by using... read more
