PROGRESSIVE WHITE WOMEN ARE DANGERS TO THEMSELVES AND OTHERS:

I don’t know what the TikTok algo does now, but it spent years doing Beijing’s bidding.

THE NEW SPACE RACE:

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:

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.”

ANOTHER 20,000 BROKEN EGGS, STILL NO OMELETS:

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.

SINCE AT LEAST LENIN, THE LEFT HAS SEEN STRONG FAMILIES AS IMPEDIMENTS TO PARTY CONTROL:

ARIZONA DIDN’T MAKE THE CUT? DHS plans to launch voter fraud investigation surge Tuesday. “Offices in nine states are expected to take investigative action from early September to mid-October, according to the guidance. Those states include Washington, Wisconsin, Missouri, Georgia, California, Pennsylvania, Nevada, New York and Connecticut.”

MORE OF THAT WHITE MALE PRIVILEGE ON DISPLAY:

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: RFK Jr. Continues to Terrorize Leftists With Healthy Food. “We knew that the Dems were going to be permanently triggered by the fact that a scion of their royal family jumped ship to become part of the MAGA machine. Kennedy continues to compound their misery because he and the president have obviously developed a strong, friendly bond through working together. It doesn’t matter what he does in his role at HHS; the lefties have predetermined that they’re going to hate it all.”

ERDOĞAN WEEPS: Israel, Greece finalize €3 billion defense system agreement. “Greece has dubbed the new program ‘Achilles Shield,’ a deal the ministry ranks among the largest in the country’s defence history. Never before has the Israeli Ministry of Defense delivered a single, fully integrated array built to counter threats as varied as ballistic missiles, aircraft, and hostile drones. The two countries also finalized a smaller, supplementary contract, valued at 26 million euros, for Israel to provide Greece with drone dome systems.”

REMEMBER, SPACEX TURNS THE IMPOSSIBLE INTO THE MERELY LATE:

IT’S GOOD TO BE THE NOMENKLATURA: Troy Jackson Cosponsored Bill Sending Millions of Taxpayer Dollars to His Son’s Lobbying Client.

Chace Jackson’s arrangement with the academy was unusual. He served as the legislative designee while simultaneously representing corporate clients as a lobbyist for the Resurgam Group, the “full service lobbying” firm founded by his father’s former chief of staff and current campaign adviser, B.J. McCollister. State agencies in Maine are required to appoint full-time employees as legislative designees to avoid retaining pricey outside firms for state-level lobbying. The University of Maine’s legislative designee, for example, is its chief governmental affairs officer, Samantha Warren, who has held the role for nearly a decade and has not worked as an outside lobbyist during that time. None of the more than 300 active legislative designees, in fact, are registered lobbyists with outside firms, according to a Free Beacon review.

That the bill passed the Maine Senate but failed to become law came as a pleasant surprise.

YES:

Registration required but worth it.

MAYOR COSPLAY: Mamdani’s free day care plan in chaos as cash-strapped centers warn they may not open.

The program is scheduled to begin Sept. 10, but some day care operators say they still have not received the funding needed for teachers, classroom supplies and furniture. Several have warned parents that their centers may not be able to open if the money does not arrive soon, reports the New York Times.

The delays have also affected city-backed bridge loans intended to help providers cover expenses while waiting for their contracts to be processed. Some operators say they have turned to personal loans, family members and their own savings to keep their businesses running.

“Yes, they have a 2-K program, but they didn’t set up the infrastructure to make it work,” said Nurita Love, who operates four Bronx day care centers preparing to offer four 2-K classes.

Promises are easy. Infrastructure is hard.

THAT’S BECAUSE HE PALLED AROUND WITH TERRORISTS, AND ANYBODY WHO SPOKE THE TRUTH WAS PILLORIED FOR IT:
