Washington State’s New Climate Curriculum Attacks ‘Rational Thinking’

Teaching climate science in schools can be valuable, but not when it’s blatantly oriented toward ‘social justice’ and views rationality as an obstacle to proper learning.

One sentence from Washington State’s new high-school curriculum on climate science betrays how bizarre the discussion about teaching science has become:

For too long, science and science education have prioritized my rational thinking.

Instead of prioritizing rational thinking, the purportedly scientific curriculum argues that “we must learn to pay attention to our own emotions and those of other people.”

Have we forgotten about Lee Rigby?

Ten years ago today, Lee Rigby was murdered on the streets of south-east London. The 25-year-old soldier was heading back to his barracks in Woolwich when a car came out of nowhere and knocked him down. It was no accident. Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale, two British-born Islamist extremists, jumped out of the car, armed with knives and a meat cleaver.

Majority Of Americans Know Regime Media’s Favorite Narratives Are Fake News

While the news from Harvard CAPS/Harris’ recent poll that received the most coverage was former President Donald Trump’s lead over President Joe Biden, the poll also demonstrates that a majority of American voters disagree with corporate media narratives. Journalist Glenn Greenwald drew attention to the report and key themes on Twitter over the weekend.

Our American Suicide

America’s founding principles are now vilified as “threats to democracy.”

America is in a fighting mood. Hardly a day goes by without video of a fight among airline passengers or fans at some sporting event surfacing on the Internet. Mobs block subway tracks to disrupt service. Still larger mobs gather at statehouses from Montana to Florida, angry and violent enough to suspend the legislative process. Retailers lock products behind plexiglass fearing hoards of looters.

Black Lives Matter Hemorrhaged Cash in 2022, Tax Documents Show

Black Lives Matter bled cash and suffered blistering investment losses in 2022, according to a copy of its tax return obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation ran an $8.5 million deficit and saw the value of its investment accounts plummet by nearly $10 million in the most recent tax year, financial disclosures show. The group logged a $961,000 loss on a securities sale of $172,000, suggesting the charity weathered a staggering 85 percent loss on the transaction. These troubles didn’t stop BLM from doling out seven-figure contracts to friends and family of its former executive director Patrisse Cullors, who once said charity financial disclosures were “triggering” and “deeply unsafe.”

What a shit show.

Erin O’Toole blasts former Governor General David Johnston for ‘disappointing’ study of foreign interference

OTTAWA—Former Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole says the federal government’s point-person on alleged foreign interference – former Governor General David Johnston – only met with him as a “box-checking exercise,” and that he doesn’t trust his study of the issue to seriously address concerns about Canadian democracy.

O’Toole, the Oshawa MP who led the Conservatives in the 2021 election, added his voice to the chorus of opposition skepticism about how the Liberal government is handling allegations of Chinese state interference, which has grown in recent months into a political firestorm fuelled by a series of intelligence leaks to the media.

Nolte: Hollywood Forced to Admit the Movie Star Is Dead

Left-wing Hollywood killed the movie star, and now the chickens are coming home to roost.

Nevertheless, even as outlets like the far-left Variety finally admit to this problem, do not expect anyone to admit to the real reasons.

“Hollywood Grapples With Loss of Young Star Power,” reads the headline. The story explains the problem this way…

I find myself avoiding movies based on the woke irritabilty score I assign to a given actor or group of actors.

Canadians who say they were targeted by Beijing slam China Grifter David Johnston: ‘Another day of being unheard’

Canadians who say they have been targeted by China expressed anger at Tuesday’s decision by former governor general David Johnston to reject a formal inquiry into foreign interference, saying that “toothless” public hearings will be unlikely to lead to action.

Johnston rejected calls for a public inquiry saying it would be impeded by the need to keep classified intelligence a secret.

“I have concluded it would not serve a useful purpose to enhance trust,” Johnston said, but said he would use his mandate to hold public hearings on how Ottawa can best respond to foreign interference activities in Canada.

Citizen Group to File Complaint With Ethics Commissioner Over Johnston’s Role as Special Rapporteur

A national democracy advocacy organization is filing a complaint with the federal ethics commissioner’s office, alleging that former governor general David Johnston is violating the Conflict of Interest Act in carrying out his appointed role as special rapporteur on foreign election interference because of his previous connections to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s family.

The NGO Democracy Watch announced it would be filing the complaint on May 23—the same day Johnston released his first report on his ongoing investigation into reports of interference in Canada’s 2019 and 2021 elections. Trudeau appointed Johnston as special rapporteur on the matter in March.

He’s so full of shit.

Prince Harry’s stinging defeat in British court

London’s police are not simply available for private hire

Today, Prince Harry lost a court case. If the law of averages is to be believed, he has involved himself in so many that it was inevitable that at least one was not going to go his way. Still, this particular defeat is likely to be difficult for the Duke of Sussex to take, as it involves one of his most cherished concerns; that of his personal security. The High Court has ruled that the British Home Office’s decision that Harry will not be allowed to pay the police to protect him when he is in the United Kingdom is fair and legal. The Home Office had argued that it would be setting a dangerous precedent if the Duke was to be allowed to rent serving police officers, as if they were private security contractors, and a judge agreed with them.

Dr. GPT Will See You Now

How will AI change medicine?

Doctors have been understandably skeptical of claims that artificial intelligence will transform medicine. Recall the misleading claims that radiologists might soon be obsolete, years of annoying automated pop ups in electronic health records, and the deployment of IBM’s near-useless Watson. But the development of new large-language models may actually live up to the hype. GPT-4, the latest, largest, and most capable such model developed by OpenAI, aces many AP exams and passes various professional certification exams—even tests for sommeliers—without having been trained for any of them.

Ukraine war: Nato watches Russian ‘Zombies’ in Estonia

In a cramped crew room, in a building just next to the runway of the Amari airbase in Estonia, the television is showing old episodes of Friends.

Feet up on the table, coffee mugs in hand, a bit of casual banter crisscrosses the room. On the TV screen, Rachel is just back from the hairdressers, Ross is upset about something. Then an airman pops his head around the doorway and announces calmly: “Zombie heading north out of Kaliningrad.”
