Our Founding Fathers built checks and balances into our Constitutional Republic for a reason. Justice Scalia called those checks the single most important thing about the Constitution. The Electoral College is one of those checks, and one of the most brilliant compromises of the post-Revolutionary era.
Now the socialist left is trying to dismantle the Electoral College. It’s up to us to defend it.

Abolishing the electoral college would mean not knowing who won the presidency for 4 weeks while California keeps counting. No thanks.

Whenever someone suggests Yuan replacing USD as a reserve currency, I immediately know the person has absolutely no idea about economics, finance & geopolitics.
If you think the US money printer is working overtime, check China's figures...
Closed loop cooling systems are not new technology, many data centers have been using them.
Don’t believe the narrative being pushed by people who benefit from slowing or stopping American buildout.
🚨 750 gallons of water flowing every MINUTE, and it's being reused.
CNBC goes inside the next generation of data center cooling technology, where water circulates in a closed loop instead of constantly drawing fresh water from local supplies.

Direct democracy will fail when the people people who have not can “legally” take from those who have.
Of course without consideration of why the have nots, have not and the haves, have…one group earned it, the other took it
Federalist 10 argued that direct democracy as a form of government would fail because “common passions”are likely to form in a majority faction that would not be able to be constrained.
So the framers built a counter-majoritarian republic to restrain factional majorities.. which to the delight of many has been steadily eroded over time.
Madison, the author, was specifically worried about the remedy the masses would deploy to solve inequity. As an example, If the masses were propertyless, and could use the levers of the state monopoly on violence, why not take property by force and redistribute it?
For physicians, replace the “common passions” with Medicare For All. It only works if the majority compels physicians to work for the State.

Some schools choose to provide unlimited free breakfasts and lunches, on-site physical and mental healthcare, and every other service that students might need, but is not a school’s responsibility.
If a school does all these things but deprives students of explicit instruction and a knowledge-rich curriculum, it is failing to fulfill its primary purpose.
Schools cannot be all things to students and families. They can be places where deep knowledge is gained and students are given the tools to succeed. Schools must focus on their goal if they are going to achieve it.
When the house of cards, that the public education system has become thanks to progressive ideology, finally collapses and the American People find out how dysfunctional the system has become, people are gonna be pissed.
Let’s hope those cards start falling sooner than later.
Every single students deserves a good education.
Had an interesting conversation with a visiting American teacher - their position is that the push back against explicit teaching* is because it exposes the problems with the systems. It exposes the poor behaviour, it exposes the kids who can't read, it exposes the students who don't get it.
If you have discovery learning, and kids milling around and chatting and copying off each other, everyone looks engaged and like they're learning. Once you try to get them to sit down and actually teach them, you have to have systems in place for the kids who refuse.
*They said direct instruction, but they were talking about explicit teaching more generally

So, today the U.K. announced it’s supporting the Saudis with jets;
France’s Macron is visiting Kuwait;
Qatar signed a defence deal with Türkiye, Pakistan, and Indonesia;
There are (dubious) rumours of Russia offering air support to Iran;
And of a third US aircraft carrier to arrive in the region next month;
And Libya and Türkiye agreed to split the eastern Mediterranean into new exclusive maritime zones that cut off Cyprus from the rest of the Sea and Israel from Greece;
AND the U.S. ambassador to Türkiye stated at the Doha Global Security Forum that the US no longer wants to own the “Grand Bargain” of oil in return for U.S. protection; that it’s no longer guarantor to the world as for the last 80 years; and this isn't "abandonment" but the U.S. now only wants to "tend" the region - a process similar to "raising teenagers.”
And it’s only Tuesday.
And I am probably missing something…

Your power bill has exploded under @KathyHochul.
Since 2021, delivery charges on the average NYC Con Ed bill are up 40%. That's $37 more every month.
The electricity you actually use?
Just 35% of your bill.
The other 65% is delivery, surcharges, mandates and taxes.
NYSERDA sits on $2 billion in unspent ratepayer money.
@TomDiNapoli’s own audit found its electric efficiency programs hit just 33% of their goal. He wrote a report. Your bill kept climbing.
As Comptroller, I'll audit every ratepayer dollar, demand unspent surcharges be returned to you, and publish every state charge on your bill.
It's your money. I will get it back.
Glad to see Bessent rooting this out

Illinois was the first state to adopt social emotional learning theory into state standards in late 2010s.
SEL, proponents claim, improves academic performance and promotes prosocial behavior.
It’s a lie. But then, everyone outside of Ed World knows this.
A CPS high school student shot and paralyzed a pregnant classmate — while on pretrial release for a carjacking case AND two days after threatening someone else with a knife during a “gang check,” prosecutors say.

If your school’s behaviour management policy requires you to
a) Be a child psychologist
b) Stop everything to focus constantly on one child out of thirty
c) Be telepathically intuitive and magically persuasive
d) Accept rude or unsafe behaviour
e) Stop and think hard about the exact, complex next step…
Then it’s not a behaviour policy, but a misbehaviour policy, because it creates an environment where misbehaviour is more likely. It’s also a quit-switch for staff who are human beings, not sorcerers.
