[Commentary - Sowell Economics @sowelleconomics]

Thomas Sowell on Paul Krugman’s favorite inequality talking point.

Krugman claimed that between 1979 and 2005, median household income rose only 13 percent while the top 0.1 percent rose nearly 300 percent. America, he said, is no longer a middle-class society.

Sowell’s response is immediate:

“All I have to hear is the word household income, and I know we’re not serious.”

Households are not the same size. The bottom 20 percent contain 39 million people. The top 20 percent contain 64 million. Households have been getting smaller over time. When a household drops from three working adults to two and still earns the same total money, that is not stagnation — it is a 50 percent rise in per capita income.

Per capita income always means one person. Household income is a political metric, not an economic one.

Dad’s daughter gets sexually harassed in the school bathroom.

Boy pushed open her stall door.

School goes silent.

So he’s putting up signs all over town:

“NO BOYS IN THE GIRLS BATHROOM IN OUR SCHOOLS!”

And collecting signatures to remove the entire school committee.

Parents are done playing nice 👏🏼

Apparently if you think Jews "eat babies" and make "black magic" and you go to a Jewish neighbourhood with a megaphone to say so, you can still teach at The University of Niagara Falls (@unfcan) , @georgiancollege, and Conestoga College @ConestogaC

“Yes I campaign with Hasan Piker and he’s one of my best buddies and biggest supporters because we have the same values, but now I need to pretend otherwise because I won the Democratic Party primary”

@ElliotDavid16 @ChrisMartzWX Although some would point to somewhat recent warm periods to argue that natural variability is a possibility that cannot be ruled out.

[David @DaveWRose]

@ElliotDavid16 @ChrisMartzWX We don't have enough knowledge of the climate system to answer those questions.

[David @DaveWRose]

@McFaul Just a stupid comment in so many ways...

Why even post something like that?

[Western Lensman @WesternLensman]

Sep 2024. As surrogate for Kamala Harris, Mark Cuban claimed in the same interview:

- Mainstream media "truly leans right"

- Kamala did effective work on the border. "What she did actually worked"

A reminder of how far off the ledge he'll go to spin for a Democrat when he goes all in.

He's now all in for another one in Texas.

@jakandersen @Janine511484078 @NikolovScience Not sure about 5.

But I don't find that list concerning. Do you?

[David @DaveWRose]

@ElliotDavid16 @ChrisMartzWX What if the natural cycle is for warming?

[Electroverse @Electroversenet]

The UK Met Office has again been caught publishing temperatures from weather stations that don't exist.

An FOI revealed Lowestoft closed in 2010, yet the Met Office kept issuing official temperatures for it.

The office said they were using "well-correlated" neighboring stations, but the FOI revealed that this was a lie.

The numbers were actually coming from a model that was inventing data from 'phantom' neighboring stations.

When exposed, they quietly deleted years of readings for Lowestoft, as well as a number of other stations, and added a disclaimer saying their data is "for general interest only."

FOIs also show over one third of Met Office stations never existed, and that real high-quality sites like Colwood are ignored.

Also, more than 80% of the network is low-grade class 4 or 5, by WMO standards giving 2-5C uncertainty.

This is the foundation of the UK's climate record – closed stations, imaginary stations and synthetic temperatures. The Met Office isn't credible.

@davidaxelrod @maureendowd @realDonaldTrump He has a female assistant who likes him. That's your issue?

Wow. That's all you got?

“Please don’t get in my comment section and try to shame me into supporting Palestine because I’m Black and I should be supporting brown people. No, I’m not going to do that, because you’re ignorant and skin-color obsessed.

You don’t even understand the fact that, in Palestine, there are neighborhoods called Al-Abid, translated as ‘the slaves,’ where Afro-Palestinians live. These are marginalized Black neighborhoods that are called Al-Abid, ‘the slave,’ and many Palestinians still refer to Black people as abid, meaning ‘slave’ in Arabic.

Why? For those of you who are unfamiliar and unaware, number one: the Arab Muslim slave trade is the longest-spanning slave trade in history. It’s even longer than the transatlantic slave trade.

Number two: many of the Afro-Palestinians who currently reside in Palestine were taken there during the Ottoman Empire, a large Islamic empire that was known for the forced servitude and enslavement of many cultures and groups of people.

So, many of the Afro-Palestinians in Palestine were taken there through forced servitude and enslavement, and they still reside there in neighborhoods where they are referred to as slaves.

Again, as a Black person, if you’re going to try to appeal to my race, which, by the way, I don’t make decisions based on race and skin color; I make decisions based on truth, then come up with something better, because it isn’t cutting it.”

[Scott Jennings @ScottJenningsKY]

I remain flabbergasted.

James Talarico’s latest take is that justice depends entirely on skin color rather than facts or the law.

Reducing responsible citizens to racial partisans isn’t “flattery”—it’s deeply insulting and utterly appalling.

VP Vance responds to Abdul El-Sayed saying that criticism of Sharia law was “rooted in white supremacy.” https://t.co/sPnzXWyjtB

“That’s not my papaw’s Democrat party.”

Sharia law is incompatible with human rights, gender equality, freedom of speech and expression. It oppresses women and non-muslims. And it is definitely not compatible with Western values and way of life.

@jakandersen @Janine511484078 @NikolovScience Thousands of scientists around the world all agree on what exactly?

[Defiant L’s @DefiantLs]

California Democrats pass "The Stop Nick Shirley Act" to silence citizen journalists and shield taxpayer-funded organizations from public scrutiny and now is heading to the governor's desk

Instead of fighting fraud, they are fighting the people who expose it.

This should be everything you need to know about the Democrat agenda. Just think about it, not only it is limiting free-speech but under this bill the Learing Center would be protected in California

.@nickshirleyy has done more work than the mainstream media and politicians who blatantly ignore the real things that are happening in America

[Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok]

MUST WATCH: Parents at @WCPSS in NC are BLASTING the school board after the district hired a male transgender teacher and are reportedly forcing students to refer to him as a woman.

"Parents shouldn't have to pass an ideological test to participate in public education."

"These children are being told to address a male teacher as female. This is COMPELLED SPEECH."

[Francis Fleming @FrncsFlmng]

Full opening speech by UGent rector Petra De Sutter with English subtitles. Calls to end Israeli collaborations, upholds diversity as moral compass, flags slow progress on female professors and migrant students. Later controversial for ChatGPT-generated quotes that never existed.

[ThePersistence @ScottPresler]

HOLY COW

This needs to break the Internet.

@JamesOKeefeIII went to Alaska during the primary on August 18th

& Election Day Workers were ready to hand him Brian Murkowski’s ballot!

Brian Murkowski is the bother of Senator Lisa Murkowski.

Yes, the same Senator AGAINST the SAVE America Act — who won’t support photo voter ID & proof of citizenship to vote.

You can’t make this up!

If you live in Alaska, please share this with everyone you know & ask them to peacefully call, email, & contact Senator Murkowski’s office.

Please also make a plan to vote ✅ YES to Ballot Measure 2 to DEFEAT Ranked Choice Voting this November.

This is a massive, earth-shattering story.

Our elections aren’t secure & the Senate is doing nothing about it.
