The Myth of ‘Good’ Public Schools

Most people know, although they are reluctant to acknowledge, the meaning of “good schools.” You don’t have to be Ibram X. Kendi to see the systemic racism embedded in that common bit of code-speak. When people are looking to buy a house, they’ll pay a premium for a “good school district,” by which they mean […]

FMJRA 2.0: Call Of The West

— compiled by Wombat-socho As I said last week that I would, I let the robot make the calls this week, and the robot did about as well as I would have, taking one from the Reds and another from the Red Sox. So the Senators were 2-4 this week, but I felt better about […]

The Mayor of CrazyTown, U.S.A.

Sometimes, It’s Just Too Easy

So I saw this story earlier today: President Joe Biden on Thursday expressed his frustration with Republican governors sending migrants from the Southern border to Democrat-run cities, calling their actions “Un-American.” “Republicans are playing politics with human beings, using them as props,” Biden said. “What they’re doing is simply wrong. It’s un-American. It’s reckless” The […]

Las Vegas: Criminal Starts Gunfight; Wounded Female Officer Finishes It

Say hello to 27-year-old Gabriel Charles and, while you’re at it, go ahead and say good-bye, because this criminal scumbag ceased to be a threat to public safety just a few seconds after he shot a Las Vegas cop.
