People have heard about the phonics vs triple-queuing fiasco but there is a similar issue in math where ed school ideologues have stigmatized the normal and necessary work of drilling novice students in the fundamentals. www.slowboring.com/p/math-needs...

Math needs a phonics-style reckoning
Teachers should teach students how to do stuff correctly.

Donald Trump addressing Hispanic people and making a "you people could survive a great fall because you've had practice illegally climbing over my border wall" joke. He's smart, aware, and sensitive that way.

I really wish reports on polls showing that nearly all self-described MAGA voters approve of Trump's job performance while his approval among all Republican voters is significantly lower a much lower would note that a sizable number of past MAGA GOP no longer are MAGA. www.msn.com/en-us/news/o...

An 11th Cir panel has refused to reverse the district judge & stay the sanctions she imposed on the plaintiffs in the slush fund case, Trump v IRS, strongly suggesting it was a collusive lawsuit designed to deliver relief to the parties.

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

Sen. SCHMITT: We have texts saying you attended an Atlanta Hawks game in February 2024. Former Special Counsel Jack Smith: I believe it was a Maryland-Iowa game. Sen. KLOBUCHAR: The Iowa HAWKeyes. Perhaps the Senator from Missouri should have looked at these texts more carefully.

holy shit -- turns out Jack Smith went to a Hawkeyes game in Maryland but Schmitt's team is so reckless they concocted a conspiracy theory that Smith was actually in Atlanta seeing a Hawks game and colluding with Fani Willis. Klobuchar points out to Schmitt, "you have your teams wrong."
