HE’S ONE OF THOSE GUYS WHO JUST CAN’T STAY OUT OF TROUBLE: George Santos Permanently Banned From Kalshi for Insider Trading. “George Santos has become the first person permanently banned from prediction market Kalshi after the company found evidence the former New York congressman engaged in insider trading tied to his own attendance at President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address. Kalshi also fined Santos $71,356, according to the company.”

PRIVACY: DeSantis bans Flock cameras on state roads in Florida.

The move came less than a week after Mr. DeSantis echoed the concerns of Florida residents who complained the cameras, powered by artificial intelligence, go too far in monitoring the public and are being used in some cases for nefarious reasons by rogue police officers and others.

“I’m all about law enforcement having the tools to be able to hold criminals accountable,” Mr. DeSantis said last week during a press conference at Florida International University. “But I don’t want to have this become a surveillance state.”

Mr. DeSantis called for a legislative overhaul of the law governing the use of the cameras, which number in the thousands in Florida.

“I think these cameras, these license plate readers, I think it’s out of control,” he said.

Background story here.

YES: Every State Needs To Follow Florida In Teaching Kids About Communism’s Terrors.

It’s no secret that legislating pedagogy can backfire. Often, lawmakers will pass laws about what to include in K-12 classrooms, but they forget to provide accompanying materials (i.e., standardized curriculum, textbooks, assessments, etc.) and professional training, which causes a lack of buy-in from teachers and administrators. At best, what follows is a half-hearted compliance that involves creating a blowoff class or giving a short presentation on the topic.

This is precisely what happened to California when it required an ethnic studies class in its public schools. Beyond the obvious partisan motivations behind such a course, there were countless logistical loose ends. It was anyone’s guess which materials to use, how the classes should be taught, or even which ethnicities to include. Worst of all, the state “never allotted money for the course, which meant the mandate hasn’t gone into effect.”

Fortunately, Florida’s rollout has been far more robust and comprehensive, which should help it overcome these problems.

Teaching kids about the horrors of communism was much easier when we still have the Soviet Union around as a living example.

NOT SURPRISING BUT STILL DISAPPOINTING:

The Clancy jury has told the court that it is deadlocked. As expected, Judge Sullivan is now sending them back. That is a common response to push a jury further. Not surprising given the intense divisions in the country, the jury appears to be manifesting those same divisions…

BELMONT CLUB: September 10, 2001. “Nearly 25 years ago, on Sept. 10, 2001, the left-wing parties of Europe and America surveyed their breathtaking domain. Viewed from their vantage point, the Soviet Union had collapsed, and the world was theirs to inherit. To most Westerners, even educated ones, Islam was an ancient myth rumored to be surviving in distant places. Christianity was a fading force beaten down by Free Love and atheism. With the fall of Moscow, the world was theirs.”

SCHLICHTER: The Washington Post Embarrasses Itself Trying to Embarrass Me.

Before this article came out, WaPo reporter Dan Lamothe tried to get me to comment. He texted me on my cell:

“Colonel, this is Dan Lamothe. Working on a story about undisclosed SGE and HQE employees for the Pentagon. You pop up in the system. Looking to touch base about it today, please.”

And he DM’d me on X:

“Kurt – Dan Lamothe with The Washington Post here. We’ve confirmed you appear in the Pentagon system as an HQE employee and wanted to seek clarification about what your role is. You appear under P&R, so I presume it’s possible the rumors are true that you’re working on war college-related efforts. You have continued to write on defense and immigration issues. Have you disclosed your government affiliation to readers anywhere? Thanks very much. Dan”

Gee, I guess we’re on a first-name basis. Now, I know what you are thinking: “What obscenities did you reply with, Kurt?” Well, none. I did not reply. Why?

1. I don’t comment on my work.

2. I don’t talk to the regime media.

3. Screw the Washington Post.

You may also note how he said I “appear in the Pentagon system” and “pop up in the system.” So what was a Pentagon reporter doing in the Pentagon personnel system? Is that where he got my phone number?

Needless to say, read the whole thing — and don’t screw with a trial attorney who also did standup.
