A Colorado school district has infuriated parents after announcing plans to ax valedictorian prizes in what they have branded the latest 'equity'-obsessed focus on mediocrity over excellence. 'The practices of class rank and valedictorian status are outdated and inconsistent with what we know and believe of our students,' Cherry Creek School District staffers said in a statement to families last Monday declaring the change.'We believe all students can learn at high levels, and learning is not a competition,' the letter, first reported by KDVR, asserted.

Kamala Harris's office kicked up a fuss over a Vogue cover that pictured the vice president in sneakers before being told to back down by President Biden's office who said concerns over the cover were 'first world problems,' according to a new book. In the weeks before Inauguration Day, Harris was to be featured on an issue of Vogue, but the vice president was reportedly caught off-guard when a leaked image of the cover depicted her most casual look from the photo shoot, donning black converse and black skinny pants.
In a world where nearly every media outlet is sponsored by the corrupt pharmaceutical industry and acts as an arm of the Democrat party, news sources that the public can trust are far and few between.The Drudge Report was once a trusted source for conservatives. Those days are long gone. The Drudge Report has become another echo chamber for the left. (Snip)Joseph Curl, a former editor of the Drudge Report who ran the publication when it still garnered millions of views a month, and Washington Examiner reporter Paul Bedard have launched a new news aggregation site.
A Chicago RV owner who recently paid over $900 to fill up his tenement on wheels has now gone viral in a video posted by his daughter to TikTok that serves as a testament to record-high gas prices affecting the entire country.As the White House and their media allies seek to place the blame on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine – going so far as to conjure up the erroneous moniker of “Putin’s price hike” – no thinking person is buying the almost laughable attempt at deflecting from President Biden’s disastrous energy policies.TikTok user @riley.14_ posted the video which shows her dad, Mark, filling up his converted Prevost bus
Hillary Clinton announced Tuesday night that she has tested positive for COVID-19 and is experiencing “mild” cold-like symptoms.The former secretary of state revealed her diagnosis on Twitter, where she said she is “feeling fine” and credited vaccines for protecting against more serious cases.

Weren’t we told “The Great Reset” and the “New World Order” were just conspiracy theories?Joe Biden on Monday joined the Business Roundtable’s CEO quarterly meeting to discuss the United States’ response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Biden mumbled through remarks and casually said that Russia is planning a “cyberattack” against the United States.“The magnitude of Russia’s cyber capacity is fairly consequential and it’s coming,” he continued.Then Joey said the quiet part out loud and blurted out Klaus Schwab’s plan.
ABC journalists, along with the rest of the media, are still burying the revelation from The New York Times on March 16 that the Hunter Biden laptop story is, in fact, real. It’s not Russian disinformation. Except for two seconds on MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN have all been silent. And while ABC News still refuses to cover the story, ABC Entertainment discussed Hunter Biden for a scant six seconds. Of course, it wasn’t six seconds of substance or six seconds of making fun of the President's son. Instead the eponymous host of Jimmy Kimmel Live claimed that Donald Trump was trying to “make up stories about Hunter Biden.”

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) bluntly told scandal-ridden former Gov.

Vicky Hartzler (R-MO) for the Senate seat. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) endorsed Missouri state Attorney General Eric Schmitt (R). Greitens is currently the front-runner for the GOP’s nomination in Missouri.

Vyacheslav Volodin, the Chairman of the State Duma (Russian Parliament) has called on the US Congress to impeach Joe Biden: “The US Congress must end the double standards and hold Joe Biden responsible”, Volodin wrote on his official Telegram channel. “There’s no way around it if the United States wants to obey the rule of law.”According to Volodin, in 2017, the US Congress passed a bill prohibiting supplying the Ukrainian Azov battalion with American arms, since Azov was designated a neo-Nazi organization.
Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson refused to say Tuesday whether she would support increasing the number of justices on the high court, invoking a statement by current Justice Amy Coney Barrett.Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) posed the court-packing question to Jackson during the second day of her Senate confirmation hearing by suggesting that Barrett had said that she “could not opine” on the issue when she appeared before the committee in October 2020.“I agree with Justice Barrett and her response to that question when she was asked before this committee,” Jackson said.

'If we close Gitmo and move them to Colorado, do you support indefinite detention under the law of war for these detainees?'

There continue to be questions about the reluctance of the White House to release the full details of the high-stakes telephone call between President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart last Friday and the answer could be very troubling if a theory put forth by a Fox Business anchor has any truth to it.On Monday, the panel on “Outnumbered’ engaged in a spirited discussion over the establishment media’s running cover for the nation’s 46th president which has become even more apparent after the New York Times confirmation that the incriminating emails on the laptop abandoned by Hunter Biden were indeed authentic

Mitt Romney’s son, retired Colonel Alexander Vindman, the country’s alleged ties to the occult, and its purported history involving the Nazis.The wild ride highlighted her brutally honest and frank opinions concerning Ukraine and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. She didn’t hold back and made one controversial statement after another, tearing into globalists and politicians alike during her rant.Logan began by saying that “no one wants the people of Ukraine to suffer.” Having said that, she then got to the meat of her allegations
Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary, has tested positive for Covid-19 and will not travel to Europe with Joe Biden for meetings in Brussels and Poland this week. In a statement on Tuesday afternoon, Psaki said she had met twice with Biden, 79, on Monday but he had tested negative the following day.(Snip)“Thanks to the vaccine, I have only experienced mild symptoms. In alignment with White House Covid-19 protocols, I will work from home and plan to return to work in person at the conclusion of a five-day isolation period and a negative test.” Biden is vaccinated and boosted.

While Joe Biden doesn’t do much in the way of solving any problems, I do have to say that he’s certainly is active — along with his administration — in spreading propaganda and the Democratic narrative on a variety of issues. We saw how his White House reached out to “brief” about 30 TikTok “influencers” on the Russian war against Ukraine. We later saw the result of that “briefing”, which was about selling why it was Vladimir Putin’s fault that the gas prices were going up, not Joe Biden.
On Monday, according to the White House, Biden met with “16 CEOs of major companies across several industries
President Joe Biden said Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin's 'back is against the wall,' as he said Russia launched a 'hypersonic missile' at Ukraine in part due to the strength of Ukrainian defenses.'They're wreaking havoc on on the, on the Russian military, whether it's their tanks or their helicopters or their aircraft,' Biden said.He spoke after the Kremlin claimed it used its state-of-the-art military hardware to take out a Ukrainian weapons storage facility. The Pentagon on Monday would not confirm the claim. 'And if you notice, they've just launched their hypersonic missile,
Tens of thousands of students at the City University of New York have signed a petition to cancel an opera about Emmett Till, the victim of a high-profile 1955 lynching in Mississippi, saying that the school should no longer host the show because it was written by a white woman. John Jay College of Criminal Justice student Mya Bishop created the Change.org petition in an attempt to halt the continuation of 'Emmett Till, A New American Opera' at the school's Gerald W. Lynch Theatre. In the petition's description, she wrote that the show is all about playwright Clare Coss' 'white guilt' rather than the appalling killing of Till, 14,
A Boeing 737-800 passenger jet operated by China Eastern Airlines has crashed in rural China, presumably killing all 132 souls aboard. Video of the plane nosediving into the ground and the aftermath has emerged.
As is expected with any video of this kind, viewer discretion is advised. Much is unknown at this point, but I am a commercial multi-engine pilot and a flight instructor so I can add a few points of speculation to ponder.
According to the flight data available, the rapid descent started at around 30,000 feet. That would point to either a structural failure that caused a loss of flight controls or a high-altitude stall
More than 100 Seattle Public Schools students walked out of class Monday morning to protest the district’s decision to end the requirement that students and staff wear masks.
Many of those students rallied at district headquarters, the John Stanford Center, to ask Superintendent Brent Jones to reinstate the mask mandate districtwide. Mask requirements for Seattle and most other districts in the state ended a week ago.

A groveling Disney CEO Bob Chapek on Monday told employees the company should have condemned Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill that blocked the teaching of sexuality and transgender ideology to students in kindergarten through third grade, speaking 24-hours hours before mutinous staff planned to walk out during a day-long strike.
A virtual town hall for employees was used by management to stem internal strife at Disney, as the company’s chief executive continued to apologize and shifted its public statements about the legislation, which critics falsely call the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.
In January, Minneapolis Public Schools students stayed home for two weeks as the omicron COVID-19 variant surged and schools shuttered. This month, schools have closed for another two weeks – and counting – because of a teacher strike. (Snip) "I think you are going to see more militant teacher strikes over the next couple of years," said Jon Shelton, a University of Wisconsin-Green Bay professor who studies teachers unions. The heaviest COVID-19 wave is subsiding, but two years of pandemic teaching have taken a toll. Educators are navigating health protocols, staff shortages, students' academic challenges, parents' frustrations and national criticism of how
Elon Musk’s extensive business dealings with China have sparked some alarm on Capitol Hill, with some lawmakers questioning whether Beijing could exploit connections with Tesla and SpaceX to gain access to classified information. Republican lawmakers have expressed concern that the Chinese government could attempt to obtain classified information through third-parties, such as SpaceX suppliers based in China. The US and China are locked in intense competition over space technology and American officials have repeatedly accused Beijing of stealing US intellectual property and trade secrets. Rep. Chris Stewart (R-Utah), a top member of the House Intelligence Committee, is attempting to hold closed-door briefings to probe whether China’s government
A former Google employee filed a class-action lawsuit in a San Jose, California, federal court Friday alleging systemic bias against black employees and a corporate culture preferring white males, Reuters reported.
The lawsuit, filed by April Curley, says Google places black employees in lower-level jobs, pays them less, and denies them opportunities to grow at the company, Reuters reported. Specifically, Curley states black people make up only 4.4% of employees and about 3% of leadership, according to Reuters. Curley also said Alphabet Inc., the parent company of Google, required black people to show identification or else face questioning at the Mountain View, California campus, Reuters reported.
