It’s worth remembering also that blind and non-blind tests shows that female teachers deliberately tend to grade boys lower than girls. No other civilisation in history has ever handed over young males to resentful women for their formation, except ours. It’s a disaster. https://t.co/CCVzB4m8QG

DISPATCHES FROM THE BLUE ZONES: St. Louis Sheriff’s Office reaches settlement over firing of white, older employees.
EEOC investigated the Sheriff’s Office and found that former Sheriff Alfred Montgomery used his position to terminate nearly a dozen white employees and two black employees for reasons other than their job performance. Before he was sworn in, Montgomery publicly announced that he “could not wait to get rid of these white officers” and “top-heavy” employees, a reference to older workers, the EEOC found.
Montgomery also allegedly referred to the white employees he terminated as a “racist gang.” After firing the white officers, Montgomery allegedly told his former deputy that “he needed to fire a black guy” to buck a lawsuit for discrimination against white employees.
That — and a bunch of other stuff — doesn’t seem to have worked out for him.

More:
4. A decision to go around was made whilst on runway.
5. Above decision was reversed and sealed their fate.These facts paint a very confusing picture of what was happening on this flight deck. Every approach we brief a plan A, which is obviously to land and stop. But we also set some very clear bottom lines, those that must be met to assure a safe landing. These are decided at a period of low workload, often some distance from the airfield. The time to set these is not when you’re working hard to get the jet down. This is where your capacity is limited and having these bottom lines is key to a safe outcome.
Setting these empowers either pilot to call a go around if these aren’t met. The pilot monitoring should never be thinking “what’s going on now?”
KC-10 Driver added, with just the right amount of understatement, “That’s a really troubling series of events.”

CONSEQUENCES: U.S. Destroys Five More IRGC Tankers After Iran Targets Navy Warship.
U.S. forces destroyed five Iranian crude oil tankers Tuesday after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targeted a U.S. Navy warship with ballistic missiles twice over the past two days, according to U.S. Central Command.
CENTCOM said the warship successfully evaded both attacks and continued its patrol. No American personnel were injured.
In response, U.S. forces struck the Kaviz, Charminar, Horizon 1 and Riesco in the Gulf of Oman, along with the Deryanear Iran’s Kharg Island. CENTCOM said crews were ordered to abandon the vessels before they were struck and rendered inoperable.
The strikes bring to eight the number of Iranian tankers attacked by U.S. forces since Sept. 5.
Do those seem like rookie numbers?

From the linked article: “Between the two bills, Rep. Davidson’s bill is the more detailed and the more aggressive. Its private cause of action – its ‘sword’ – includes damages language and would, if enacted, have greater deterrent effect than a declaration-only bill. Much of what Rulli’s bill implies is, in Davidson’s proposal, made express.”

LAWRENCE KUDLOW: The Boom They Never Saw Coming.
Secretary [Bessent] pointed out that President Biden’s big government socialism has been restructured since Mr. Trump took office, nearly 400,000 government jobs have been eliminated, while more than 900,000 private jobs have been added. This is part of the economic boom story.
What’s more, we tried big government socialism under Biden, and it produced a 21 percent cumulative inflation rate. And to a large extent, we are still suffering the hangover from that inflation even today.
I asked Mr. Bessent about how “we’re seeing free enterprise move through this hemisphere. Very interesting. A lot of overturning of the left and socialism moving back towards free market economics.”
The headline employments figures haven’t looked great, largely because under Trump, we’re shedding government jobs at almost half the rate we’re gaining private-sector jobs.
But the latter are productive while the former… not so much.

Previously: The Lindsay Clancy Trial Set Women Back Decades. “A significant number of liberal women have at least one diagnosed mental illness. Having such diagnoses can, and should, limit the types of employment you can have. We don’t want someone who is mentally unstable being a surgeon or working with children, for example. But let’s just think through the logical implications of what the defense and Lindsay’s supporters are arguing here.”

GOOD NAME: The Air Force Wants to Retire the A-10. The ‘BRRRRT Act’ Would Keep 126 Flying.
The name stands for the Bolstering Recognition, Resurgence, Retention, and Remembrance of the Thunderbolt Act. It also imitates the unmistakable noise produced when the A-10 fires its 30 mm cannon.
…
The proposal would require the Air Force to retain at least 126 A-10s in its total inventory beginning in fiscal 2027 and maintain enough aircraft, units, pilots, testing and support to keep the fleet viable through fiscal 2033.It would also give the service 90 days after enactment to explain how it would restore depot maintenance, pilot training, weapons instruction, flight testing and other support programs previously reduced in anticipation of retirement.
The bill would prevent additional retirements until the defense secretary certifies that an aircraft or combination of systems has entered service, become fully operational, and can perform the A-10’s missions.
They’re old airframes, getting more expensive to fly and maintain, and probably not survivable against even a near-peer rival. But as we saw earlier this year, they haven’t run out of missions.

The stuff that makes the older ‘Harumph!’ Republicans uneasy makes younger voters cheer louder.”
OUCH: Third biggest taxpayer flees Britain in huge Labour blow as John Healey promises ‘growth.’
Chris Rokos, who reportedly paid £477 million in tax last year alone, will head to Greece which has far more friendly tax laws for the super-rich.
The news comes on the same day that the Labour Chancellor John Healey announced he wanted to see the country’s economy growing more.
Mr Rokos, 55, is worth an estimated £2.3bn and runs a hedge fund looking after more than £22bn in the UK.
Conservative Shadow Chancellor of Exchequer, Andrew Griffith MP said: “Chris Rokos is Britain’s third-highest taxpayer.
“He has made huge contributions to charities and educational causes across our country. Yet another wealth and job creator leaving Britain is bad news for all of us.
“Whatever your personal finances, wealth creators leaving the UK means fewer opportunities for young people and leaves the rest of us paying more.
Meanwhile: Options for UK finance minister Healey to tax wealth in October’s budget.
I can think of £2.3bn Healey won’t have around to tax.
