  1. Why do they oppose real intellectual endeavours and promote frauds like the 1619 project

  2. Why do they treat parents and soldiers like terrorists and criminals and whitewash the real offenders

  3. Uh oh. Rumors are that the Twitter board will sell out to Elon Musk. I was wrong about that. Let the fireworks begin, assuming the rumor is valid.

  4. “Why do they oppose real intellectual endeavours and promote frauds like the 1619 project”

    Because an uneducated population that is also not skilled in any sort of critical thinking is much easier to control. I thought that would be obvious.

  5. The reason why things such as honors programs are ended is that they contradict the announced end goal – “equity”. According to their equity theories, if everyone doesn’t end up at the same level, it’s evidence of oppression. Honors programs, which by their nature fast-track kids for educational achievement, fly in the face of that sort of thinking.

  6. Why is it so much fun to watch these reaction videos? These 2 young men are charming and they made me appreciate the performances more.
    Another prodigy is Emily Bear, composer/pianist. Her first published work was at 4, her first performance at 5, her first album of original compositions at 12, and she just won a Grammy at 21.

  7. Any society that does not celebrate its progidies is committing evolutionary suicide.

    Collectivist ideologies, in their inherent opposition to individual accomplishment are anti-reality in that they deny nature’s inherent “inequality of blessings”. That rejection prevents collectivists from accepting that nature’s inherent “inequality of blessings” is not just overall a positive good but inescapably necessary to civilizational progress, societal wealth and most ironically, evolution itself.

  8. In case you were wondering for whom Bitc* McConnell will be lining up donors, he’s featured today on Hot Air.

  9. As if things weren’t bad enough —-

    Palm oil is also [used] regularly as a substitute for cocoa butter by chocolatiers; a chemical feat the other oils do not quite pull off. Better ration that chocolate you’ve got hidden on the top shelf away from the kids; it may be in short supply soon.
    And who [is] the biggest chocolatier using palm oil?
    Nutella.
    You might want to stock up on… well, everything else peanut butter, shampoo, lipstick, detergent, ice cream, soap, and lots of other things we use on a daily basis all use palm oil these days.
    Time to hoard the hazelnut goodness if you love it!

    I note in passing that the Climatistas slavering to ban fossil fuels, because burning them is going to destroy the world (one of these days, somehow, just wait….), seem to have no idea how many of their favorite things are made from petroleum products, which will disappear when the oil is no longer being pumped out for fuel.

  10. Thanks Neo. You do wonders for youtube’s optimization of its algorithm results on me.
