HMM: Liberals see promise in tax-credit scholarships; conservatives see dangers.
“If policymakers are making their decision strictly on the merits, they will see it’s a no-brainer,” says Jorge Elorza, CEO of Democrats for Education Reform.
“Students will be eligible for scholarships as long as their family income is 300% of their area’s median income or lower,” writes Stone. “That threshold encompasses most U.S. students, including families earning more than $500,000 in Westchester County, N.Y., on the high end and $114,000 in Wolfe County, Ky., on the low end.”
Tax-credit scholarships could create a “slush fund for public schools” and a way for government regulators to control private schools, warns Daniel Buck of the conservative American Enterprise Institute. It “could be an utter disaster.”
“Ideally, this program will create a funding stream to allow struggling Catholic and Lutheran schools to prosper, homeschools and microschools to flourish, and public schools to offer a litany of new, supplemental services,” he writes.
More likely, he predicts, school districts could send out mass emails to encourage donations to their preferred SGO, one that would fund the district but not homeschooling co-ops.”
“In time this program will become a stick that the federal government can wield to thwack private schools into submission,” he writes. Once their budgets become dependent on federal scholarships, they’ll lose their academic independence. Administrations change.
I’ve said for years that the modern administrative state turns the old adage on its head: Once you take the Danegeld, you’ll never be rid of the Dane.

NARRATIVE-ENFORCEMENT INDUSTRY ENFORCES NARRATIVE: Liberal Media Ignores the Ravaging of Britain. “With the release of the report, the British government is no longer able to pretend that the crisis doesn’t exist. But the liberal media is still doing its best to hide what happened by simply not covering the story at all.”

SPACE: Kennedy Space Center not ready for era of super heavy rockets.
NASA’s infrastructure at Kennedy Space Center, the crown jewel of US spaceports, is aging and approaching its limit due to increased demand from private companies, including SpaceX and Blue Origin, a new report finds.
“NASA’s launch infrastructure is vital to providing the agency, other government agencies, and commercial partners access to space for their most complex and expensive missions,” states the report, published by the NASA Office of Inspector General. “Nevertheless, NASA’s launch infrastructure is dated and often does not provide the capacity to meet the growing demands of the agency and its partners.”
The report covers NASA’s launch facilities at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida and Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. However, the most noteworthy information in the report concerns the Florida spaceport, where demand from SpaceX’s Starship and Blue Origin’s New Glenn launch vehicles is expected to stress NASA.
Maybe Washington should offer to get out of the way and let Blue Origin and SpaceX make the necessary improvements.

As high-stakes negotiations to end the Iran war continue in Switzerland, the maritime industry’s message to the White House is clear: Don’t allow Iran to formalize its tolling racket over the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran wants all commercial shipping vessels to register with a newly formed Iranian agency in order to pass through the narrow entry to the oil-rich Persian Gulf — but Western insurance underwriters are refusing to comply, slamming the mandate as a sanctions trap, The Post has learned.
Senior sources say unless US negotiators force Iran to completely dismantle its unilateral insurance mandates and fully clear international waters of underwater mines, trade in the region will never truly recover.
Maybe that’s the point, reducing dependence on Persian Gulf oil flows. The Arab Gulf states are already planning accordingly: Gulf States Fast-Track Pipeline Projects to Bypass Volatile Strait of Hormuz.
THIS STORY KEEPS GETTING STRANGER: So a ‘Jellyfish’ Drone Swarm Might Have Shot Down Our F-15 Over Iran.
I MISSED THIS ONE OVER THE WEEKEND: ‘Send them back’ chants rock European Parliament after landslide vote to speed up deportations.
Members of the European Parliament voted 418 to 218 Wednesday with 30 abstentions to approve the Return Regulation, a measure designed to speed up the removal of third-country nationals who are staying illegally in the European Union.
The moment quickly turned explosive. After the vote was announced, right-wing lawmakers stood, applauded and chanted “send them back,” according to a video of the meeting.
Lawmakers on the left responded by chanting “shame on you.”
The legislation still requires formal approval by the Council of the European Union and publication in the Official Journal before it goes into force, but the confrontation underscored how sharply divided Europe remains over migration, even as the bloc’s institutions move ahead with policies once seen as politically taboo.
The new rules would allow member states to detain some migrants for up to 24 months, with a possible six-month extension, and create a framework for “return hubs” outside the European Union in third countries willing to receive migrants with return decisions.
Those are baby steps, but at least they’re in the right direction.
SOUNDS LIKE THEY’RE UNFIT TO PRACTICE LAW: Roughly one-third of UC Berkeley law students claim ‘psychological’ disabilities.
Recent UC Berkeley Law graduate Andrew Testerman notes in a James G. Martin Center article that 37.5 percent of UC Berkeley Law students get some sort of disability accommodation, a figure greater than the total number of male students at the school.
Ninety-eight percent of those “have a primary or secondary diagnosis of ‘ADD/ADHD,’ ‘anxiety,’ or (somewhat less commonly) ‘depression.’”
By comparison, American community colleges have a disability rate of 3-4 percent, and U.S. senior citizens about 24 percent.
“Yet we are asked to believe that students at elite law schools are significantly more likely to be disabled” than the elderly, Testerman says.
Maybe it’s all that time spent at Berkeley.

NIGEL FARAGE: Britain is broken, we need an election.
Starmer isn’t the first Prime Minister I’ve deposed, and he won’t be the last. David Cameron. Theresa May. Rishi Sunak. And next up – Andy Burnham. The reason each leader has failed is the same. What the political class fails to understand is that the electorate won’t accept being taken for fools. They cannot continue to take the votes of the people who supported them for granted, only to betray them upon having gained power. Politics is about trust.
That is why I am calling for a General Election at the soonest possible date. You know as well as I do that the country cannot afford to waste another week drifting from crisis to crisis. That’s why millions of you turned out in the local elections to vote for Reform councillors, and it’s why we have led in more than 300 opinion polls for well over a year.
The British public have made their voices clear in May this year and last: Britain is broken and they want a radical reforming government that will fundamentally fix our country. But instead, Westminster wants to crown Andy Burnham off the back of a single by-election.
Labour isn’t finished breaking Britain, so I’m not sure how Farage will force an election before the 2029 due date.

Plus this reminder that Wikipedia seems to be just another lefty slush fund: “But make sure to donate! Time is running out! In case you missed it here’s a big notification that takes up the entire screen. Just ignore the fact that Wikipedia makes $200M a year and is sitting on $300M of assets, they need your money NOW. TIME IS RUNNING OUT! HURRY! (sarcasm)”
Where does the money go?
