@ZaidJilani What policy was he 'far right' on?

Where does American income come from?

Less and less of it comes from work.

Wages have fallen from 73% of personal income in 1970 to 60.5% today.

Income from assets and transfers like Social Security and Medicare has climbed from 23% to 39%.

@JohnCornyn Most of these 'vacant' countries have US embassies and consulates, so is the issue that the current administration is not nominating new ambassadors or the Senate not approving said nominations?

@MacroMicroNMike @cturnbull1968 @RubenGallego It is not just the Democrats.

[Sam Grey @Mut1791]

@cturnbull1968 @RubenGallego The captioned post is either ignorant or lying, as they do eventually sell assets to cover the loans they are taking out. The distinction is generally that they only have to so every so often, often creating multi year gaps before they pay out any significant amount in taxes.

@WhitePapersPol Where did you source these stats?

NEW: Socialist Mayor Katie Wilson has announced that the city will send 1,400 youth & their caregivers to World Cup matches in Seattle.

The Somali Health Board will be distributing the tickets. The agency receives $262,982 of WA taxpayer funds

@ZaidJilani Being willfully blind to the past, which is literally less than a decade old, just tells everyone you are quite willing and able to just make the same mistakes again.

Six years ago. This is when the public health apparatus lost its credibility. We were told it was too dangerous for kids to go to school, but not too dangerous for thousands of people to gather for the “right” cause. Feels like a fever dream.

Incredible statement from Amnesty International UK on Henry Nowak:

Not a single word of conveying outrage or horror over the brutal murder, or of how police left him to die without dignity.

Instead, their statement is about policing the *political commentary* around the case.

I kid you not.

What a grotesque betrayal of any moral purpose.

These NGOs aren’t just useless - they actively despise you. They are hostile to everything you value and everything you hold dear.

@ZaidJilani Why would you expect different?

@ChrisWillx You ignore immigration in this 'the future looks conservative' conclusion.

🚨RECAP:

An Illegal Alien, who failed his CDL test TEN TIMES, finally gets it in California then proceeds to drive across the country and kill 3 people in Florida with his truck.

The Florida AG takes the case to the Supreme Court, looking to stop California and Washington State from endangering Florida's citizens with drivers that don't speak english and are unqualified.

SCOTUS declines to hear the case for reasons we, including Justice Thomas, cannot fathom.

This is BEYOND absurd.

“We are admitting a cohort that cannot read at a college level and are pretending otherwise.”

Another college professor adds to the chorus of concern about student capacity.

In @chronicle:

“Six weeks into the term, I assigned my rhetoric and writing students a 20-page article. It was the same length I had assigned for five years and the same length I had read without complaint as an undergraduate a decade ago. Not one student finished it.

When I asked why, a student answered honestly: It was too long, and she kept losing track of what the paper was about. This was not a remedial class: These were students who had cleared the admissions process and written essays good enough to get them here. Yet a routine academic reading assignment had defeated them.

Every generation of professors has complained that their students cannot read. The lament is usually overblown, but data have caught up to anecdote, and what I am seeing in my classroom is no longer a hunch. There is a measurable, generational collapse in sustained reading and writing, and the academy is responding to it with improvisation and exhaustion rather than the structural overhaul it requires.

In February 2024, Adam Kotsko, who teaches in the Shimer Great Books School at North Central College, wrote in Slate that students who once handled 30 pages of reading per class meeting now seem “intimidated by anything over 10 pages and seem to walk away from readings of as little as 20 pages with no real understanding.” Crucially, he added that this is “not a matter of laziness on the part of the students” but of underlying skills they were never given a chance to build.

The Chronicle of Higher Education’s 2024 investigation found the same pattern across institutions as different as the Stevens Institute of Technology and Wellesley College, where the average SAT exceeds 1400. Nicholaus Gutierrez, an assistant professor at Wellesley, told The Chronicle that the baseline for what students consider a reasonable amount of work has dropped so noticeably that he has cut his readings accordingly; a 750-word essay now strikes many students as long. At Stevens, the science and technology studies associate professor Theresa MacPhail described following the mantra of “meet your students where they are” for so long that she has begun to feel “like a cruise director organizing games of shuffleboard.”

Worse, the national data tell the same story in colder language. On the 2011 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) writing assessment, which is the most recent comprehensive writing benchmark, only 24 percent of 12th graders reached the Proficient level, and just 3 percent reached Advanced; another 21 percent scored below Basic. The reading side of the ledger is worse, and getting worse fast: The 2024 NAEP results released in September 2025 show 12th-grade reading scores at the lowest level recorded since the assessment began in 1992. Thirty-two percent of 12th graders now score below NAEP Basic in reading, meaning that, in the assessment’s own language, they likely “cannot draw general conclusions based on concepts presented explicitly in a text.” And yet more than half of these same seniors reported being accepted to a four-year college. That last sentence is the whole problem in one line: We are admitting a cohort that cannot read at a college level and are pretending otherwise.”

@Liberty_Vegan @AydinPaladin @Ziekk It was not bandwagon hate, as SGU clearly went in near opposing directions to SG and SGA when it came to negative team interactions, negative personal drama, etc. That being said, in hindsight, the Stargate fans were blessed by not having SGU be made a decade later.

[Sam Grey @Mut1791]

@ko_oneill @Liberty_Vegan @AydinPaladin @Ziekk The undermining and scheming is definitely what turned me off during the first season. The dynamic was just so blatantly in opposition to previous Stargate content.

Colombia just held their election.

They require voter ID and use paper ballots. They hand-count the votes of each station one by one. No machines or mail-in ballots due to security concerns.

~24 million votes.
It was all done in a couple hours.
