Growth is the only thing that matters

Many will attack historical figures for actions that were common in their time - when those are not what made them great.

We honor them for their courageous and groundbreaking actions that created a better world, piece by piece.

God bless George Washington.

A trolley is about to hit 5 people laying on the track

You can redirect the car, but the other track has not yet reached regulatory approval or completed its 1 year environmental testing period, so operating a train car on it is a violation of transit regulations

What do you do?

[Kevin DeAnna @VDAREJamesK]

It is extremely important that this bombs.

Frustrated Dad Alert

One of my favorite memories growing up was heading to the local high school with my Dad and brothers. We’d play catch, hit tennis balls, play catch with a football, or smack baseballs on those empty fields. Pure joy.

Today I drove my kids to two Granite School District high schools on a perfect 61° spring day. I wanted to time my daughter on the track and throw with my son.

**Both schools were locked down like Fort Knox.**
Fields empty. Tracks empty. Gates chained. No one there.

I’ve heard every excuse in the book — and they all stink worse than armpits.

We live in a world that’s already fighting to pull kids off phones and get them moving. Why are we making it harder? High school football and baseball participation numbers are dropping for a reason — kids literally can’t find a safe place to practice, disconnect from screens, and connect with their parents.

@GovCox @GraniteSchools — there has to be a better way. Open the fields and tracks when school’s not in session, including weekends. Let families use what our tax dollars already paid for. These are not private clubs for members only. If you were a charter school, I get it, but we pay for these beautiful fields and tracks.

This isn’t just my problem. This is every Utah kid’s problem.

@BarstoolGruden knock on wood if you’re with me…

Who else is with me?
Tag a parent. Tag a coach. Tag your school board member.
Let’s make some noise until they open the gates.

The Department of War using a kanban board to smoke Iranian targets proves that the SaaSpocalypse is overblown

Probably the most current look at Palantir’s maven smart system software. Here’s the DoW’s Chief AI officer showing how it works:

@KaelWeston Federal government buys building to use for executing federal law. What a story

@UtahDemocrats send them home

What terrifies me is if ISIS were to detonate a nuclear device and kill 50 million Americans. Imagine the backlash against peaceful Muslims?

@LDS_Dems Watch Trump’s video, he gives clear rationale

Literal treason

Dear World,

Please do whatever you need to.

Beating Canada and Iran in their best sports in the same week?? Does it get any better than this?

BREAKING: it’s time to monitor the situation

[Alec Stapp @AlecStapp]

This is a really astonishing claim:

Students in Mississippi & Louisiana score higher on reading tests than students in California & New York despite spending way less money per pupil and having higher child poverty rates.

Decided to double check the data because, if true, this should be alarming for blue state leaders.

And yup, it checks out.

Reading performance (NAEP 2024, Grade 4 reading, average scale score):

Mississippi: 219
Louisiana: 216
New York: 215
California: 212

Child poverty (SAIPE; “estimated percent of people age 0–17 in poverty,” 2023):

Louisiana: 25.2%
Mississippi: 24.3%
New York: 18.6%
California: 15.0%

Per-pupil spending (public K–12 “current expenditures per pupil,” FY2023, inflation-adjusted to FY2023 dollars)

New York: $29,588
California: $18,568
Louisiana: $14,822
Mississippi: $12,238

It should be unacceptable to spend that much more taxpayer money while delivering worse results for students.

This lady was viewed for years as “just a friendly non-partisan educator”, and now she’s just a basic left wing angst poster

It was always about tricking in the normies into feeling superior by pretending to be “non-partisan” and then slowly taking the mask off

Many such cases

[Anthony Pompliano 🌪 @APompliano]

This may be the most powerful political ad I have ever seen.

[Utah Tech Bro @UTTechBro]

@TheKevinDalton She’s right in exactly the wrong way. Tents shouldn’t be allowed at all, regardless of proximity to a school

[Utah Tech Bro @UTTechBro]

The next “what is a woman”:

“Who is America for?”

If they don’t say, “Americans”, then all their opinions can be disregarded.

[Utah Tech Bro @UTTechBro]

Republicans are not a monolith, several R senators don’t follow the party line here, and without them they wouldn’t be able to override the filibuster

I also don’t think Trump would sign it - haven’t seen the fervor from him

So all you’re actually saying is that republicans are split on the issue… but that doesn’t make the overdramatic point you’re trying to make up out of whole cloth

[Utah Tech Bro @UTTechBro]

@SaladBarFan That can only happen if there are extremely strong restrictions on getting in - which there are not

[Utah Tech Bro @UTTechBro]

@LDS_Dems Hypocritical in microcosm, insane in macrocosm. If this is true then we do not have a country

[sonch @soncharm]

mental note: any time someone is granted ‘temporary’ entry it’s actually permanent because if you ever at any point try to kick them out later people will whine about it and it won’t happen

conclusion: we have to grant ‘temporary’ entry far more sparingly. good to know
