Labour’s National Curriculum Review
Repeats All the Usual Left-Wing Mistakes
Posted By: FlyRight, 11/30/2025 3:45:32 AM
While there is much to agree with in the final report of the review of the English national curriculum, titled ‘Building a world-class curriculum for all’, there is also much of concern. Descriptions like “crucial knowledge”, “critical knowledge” and “knowledge-rich”, while clichéd, represent a welcome focus on content instead of vacuous inquiry-based, process and child-centred learning. The report is correct when it argues, “In a world of rapid technological, environmental and social change, subject-specific knowledge remains the best investment.” Similarly, the report’s suggestion that skills and capabilities “arise from and are situated within, a knowledge-rich Curriculum” is welcomed as cognitive research has long proven this is the most effective way to learn.

Welcome to "The New Monroe Doctrine," where I give you an update on what's going on in the Western Hemisphere, south of our border, especially as it relates to the United States. First of all, I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving. I took the day off and cooked for eight hours, and my brain is still in some sort of turkey and pecan pie-induced coma, so bear with me here. I almost took the week off, but there are things that I feel are important to mention before we head into the weekend... and December.
Venezuela
Venezuela is dominating the news cycle, and rightfully so.
The Justice Department’s prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey is facing death by a thousand procedural errors.
Federal judges overseeing the criminal case have increasingly raised concerns about the department’s efforts to investigate and indict the adversary of President Trump, from the evidence presented to grand jurors to the prosecutor who made the government’s case. Any one of the issues could do away with Comey’s charges before he’s ever put on trial.
“This is what happens when you try to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear,” said Barbara McQuade, a former U.S. attorney.
Two months ago today, people who enjoy comedy breathed a sigh of relief when Disney suspended low-rated late-night “comedian” Jimmy Kimmel for what he’d said, and planned to say, about Charlie Kirk’s murder.
Less than a week later, Kimmel was back on the air.
In between was an orgy of leftist outrage about how President Donald Trump was somehow responsible for forcing Kimmel off the air, that this was yet another sign of authoritarianism on the march, and “the mask of ‘free speech’ coming off for good.”
Our favorite was a warning from “actor” Mark Ruffalo,
We've learned quite a few details in the day since Gavin Newsom's chief of staff, Dana Williamson, was charged with 23 federal felonies in a public corruption scheme.
According to the indictment, Williamson and multiple co-conspirators, including then-HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra's chief of staff Sean McCluskie, schemed "to divert approximately $225,000 in funds from a dormant political campaign to an associate’s personal use."
But there's a lot more to Williamson's indictment. Let's break it down.
Tax Fraud
When the original story hit, a common reaction was, "Why would she risk everything to essentially embezzle $225,000 for a friend?"
NYC restaurateur cancels expansion plans

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s radical policy proposals have prompted high-profile restaurateur Stratis Morfogen to cancel plans to open new businesses. He told Side Dish he’s pulling the plug on three new establishments, including one in Midtown West. “I waited for the election before signing and now I’m not signing,” he said. Just last week, Morfogen opened his first restaurant in Miami. He is also planning to open Diner24 in Miami in 2026. “I’m not signing any more leases in New York,” Morfogen vowed. “I’ll keep what I have. We’re not expanding in New York but we are pursuing further opportunities in Miami and other cities.
A new documentary about the Palisades Fire of January shows California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass touring the Pacific Palisades as it burns behind them — with a contingent of Los Angeles Fire Department firefighters accompanying them instead of fighting the blaze.
The film, “Paradise Abandoned,” scheduled for release in December, is a reminder that the Palisades Fire will continue to haunt Bass as she seeks re-election — and Newsom as he seeks the presidency.
Newsom addressed adoring crowds of Democrats in Houston over the weekend, even picking up a presidential endorsement or two, though he has not yet officially launched his campaign.
Another Democrat Representative announced retirement after Pelosi called it quits.
Democrat Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman on Monday announced she will not be running for reelection in 2026. She was first elected to the US House of Representatives in 2015.
The 80-year-old Democrat served over 50 years in public service in New Jersey.
Recall that Bonnie Watson Coleman was one of the New Jersey Democrats who stormed the Delaney Hall Detention Center earlier this year.
Mr Trump has fired off a legal letter after it emerged Panorama had selectively edited his speech before the 2021 Capitol riot to remove a section where he told supporters to demonstrate peacefully.
A BBC spokesman said: “We will review the letter and respond directly in due course.”
The revelation comes shortly after Mr Shah used his first remarks since the resignations of Director General Tim Davie and Head of News Deborah Turness to mount a defence of the corporation.
Mr Shah accused Michael Prescott, who wrote a critical memo that ultimately prompted the resignations, of offering a “personal account” which gives only a “partial” view of events.
It's Time to Call Out Tucker Carlson
22 replies
After doing my best to ignore the latest Tucker Carlson saga, I find I must say something.
"Go the hell away," for starters.
I'd said pretty much everything I thought I'd ever need to say about Carlson early last year, following his context-free interview with Palestinian Authority propagandist Reverend Munther Isaac. So when the current brouhaha broke out over his kid-glove treatment of neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes, I did my best to ignore it. Yes, even though Fuentes is the guy who rants that "Jews are running society" and that women and blacks should be silenced or imprisoned.

a toll on Trump’s GOP. Takeaways from
Election Day 2025 17 replies
Democrats dominated the first major Election Day since President Donald Trump returned to the White House.
And while a debate about the future of the Democratic Party may have only just begun, there are signs that the economy — specifically, Trump’s inability to deliver the economic turnaround he promised last fall — may be a real problem for Trump’s GOP heading into next year’s higher-stakes midterm elections.
Democrats on Tuesday won governor’s races in Virginia and New Jersey, the only states electing new chief executives this year. They also swept a trio of state Supreme Court contests in swing-state Pennsylvania and ballots measures from Colorado to Maine.
The New York City mayoral race and the New Jersey’s governor’s race is one of those times when the Jewish vote actually matters and the skew of the Jewish vote looks nothing like the stereotypes.
President Trump personally reached out to the Orthodox Jewish community in New Jersey, urging, “I need all of my supporters in the orthodox community in Lakewood and its surrounding towns to vote in huge numbers for Jack Ciattarelli. Jack needs every single Vote in the community, including all the Yeshiva students who turned out to vote for me last year.”

Sept. 11 terror attacks beaten to death
by 3 teens: cops 29 replies
A former World Trade Center worker who “narrowly escaped” the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks has been beaten to death by three teens — one of whom was just 12 at the time of the attack, according to officials.
Long Island native Roger Borkum, 64, was found “severely beaten” just before midnight on Oct. 19 in Downtown Jacksonville, FL., after three teens were seen “kicking and stomping” him, according to an arrest report from the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
Convicted killer Bryan Kohberger was recently accused of throwing a tantrum over the fruit selection at a maximum-security Idaho prison where he is serving multiple life sentences for the murders of four University of Idaho students in 2022. The 31-year-old, housed at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution, has reportedly been "complaining about the type of bananas he’s being served," according to Chris McDonough, a retired homicide detective employed by the Cold Case Foundation.
"They’re not the kind that he likes," McDonough told the Daily Mail.
President Donald Trump late Thursday said that the United States may “almost completely” eliminate the income tax due to the rising tariff revenue.
n the next couple of years, I think we’ll substantially be cutting, or maybe cutting out completely, but we’ll be cutting income tax,” Trump said during an event on Thursday.
“Could be almost completely cutting it because the money we’re taking in is going to be so large,” he added.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) in June projected that the tariff increases will reduce the federal deficit by $2.8 trillion over the next decade.

The Afghan national who has been charged with shooting two members of the West Virginia National Guard this week was reportedly a member of the elite Afghan "Zero Unit" forces backed by the CIA -- with the U.S. spy agency apparently having struck a deal to bring thousands of the fighters and their families to the United States. . . . the terms of the deal were that if the Zeroes helped secure Hamid Karzai International Airport (HKIA) during the chaotic non-combatant evacuation operation (NEO) . . . the fighters and their families would earn an airlift to the U.S..
Yesterday, President Trump announced his intention to nullify any Joe Biden document signed by autopen, that did not carry cognitive understanding of Biden. [SEE HERE]
The House investigation into the White House handlers of Joe Biden, now takes focus.
“As part of the Oversight Committee’s investigation into The Biden Autopen Presidency, Chairman James Comer and Committee staff conducted transcribed interviews with several of Joe Biden’s former senior aides and advisors. […] Their testimony revealed that President Biden’s cognitive deterioration was real, visible, and widely discussed inside the West Wing.

To Cut Federal Tax Benefits For Illegal Immigrants 12 replies
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Friday his Department is working to cut off federal benefits to illegal immigrants at the direction of President Donald Trump. Bessent wrote in a post on X that "we are working to cut off federal benefits to illegal aliens and preserve them for American citizens. He said the Treasury "announced it will issue proposed regulations clarifying that the refunded portions of certain income tax benefits are no longer available to illegal and other non-qualifies aliens, including the Earned Income Tax Credit, the Additional Child Tax Credit, the American Opportunity Tax Credit, and the Savers Match Credit."
New York City’s mayor-elect put out a statement about the National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom, who died after being shot in Washington, DC this week. Mamdani’s message is being slammed on Twitter/X for leaving out or twisting rather important details about the incident.
See if you can spot what is wrong with his message. Take a look below: Passing? She just passed away? That’s what happened? Many noticed that the X comment from Zohran Mamdani, the mayor-elect of New York City, in response to the news of Beckstrom’s death, was seriously lacking in some fundamental things.
Even as presidential envoy Steve Witkoff is scheduled to make another trip to the Kremlin to present the revised 18-point peace plan for Ukraine and Russia (see New Development: Ukraine Embraces Trump's Peace Plan Essentials – RedState), Russian President Vladimir Putin has signaled that no deal is imminent. Putin used the occasion of the post-Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) summit press conference in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, on Thursday, to make it clear that there would be no agreement of any sort signed with Ukraine. If you aren’t familiar with the CSTO,

My Shark Tank companies hate selling on Amazon but most don't have a choice. about 162 Americans shop there, and if you want to reach them, you have to play by Amazon's rules. Amazon knows this and takes full advantage . . . Insurance companies work the same way. More than 300 million Americans have some kind of coverage -- commercial, Medicare, or Medicaid. Every one of those plans hires a Pharmacy Benefit Manager, or PBM, to run drug benefits. Three giant PBM's -- all owned by the biggest insurance companies -- control pharmacy benefits for 270 million Americans.
The holidays are getting underway, and most of us are in a festive mood. (Especially me, having just returned from a terrific week in Amsterdam, about which I will do a post if there is overwhelming public demand.) But to be honest, the news wasn’t great. The issue of Somali fraud in Minnesota finally went national in a big way, which you could see as a positive, but the underlying reality is too depressing to contemplate. The search for peace in Ukraine continued to be elusive. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s political career flamed out. Six Democratic politicians encouraged service members to engage in insurrection. And, at week’s end, an Afghan “refugee"

In response to the Trump Administration's tariffs aimed at reshoring American manufacturing, Stellantis this fall announced $13 billion in new investment in U.S. operations. Spread across Midwest plants in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, and Indiana, the investment – the largest in company history - is estimated to create over 5,000 jobs across all four of the transatlantic manufacturer's American brands (Jeep, Dodge, Ram, and Chrysler) plus an additional 20,000 jobs at Stellantis suppliers. "I'm extremely ecstatic about it. Without these tariffs, this probably wouldn't have happened," said Eric Graham, president of United Auto Workers Local 140 representing workers at Michigan's Warren Truck, which stands to gain two new vehicles,
