Newly unearthed documents reveal that during his tenure as the governor of Virginia, Terry McAuliffe’s Education Department was pushing public schools to teach critical race theory (CRT). According to a 2015 training program issued by the Virginia Department of Education, state public schools were encouraged to “embrace critical race theory” and “engage in race-conscious teaching and learning” as part of the program’s “Culturally-Responsive Teaching and Learning Principles.” The slideshow also urged schools to adopt a “critical race theory (CRT) lens” when surveying “culturally-responsive alternatives” to school suspension.

What, no leg shackles? There was tough talk from the Morning Joe crowd today regarding measures to force Republicans to testify before the tilted (and now jilted) January 6th committee. Mike Barnicle—possibly still feeling the effects of his celebration of the Red Sox's upset ALDS victory—then upped the ante. Barnicle proclaimed: "There'll be no action on this until we see someone like Steve Bannon—in handcuffs—brought to the Capitol and forced to testify under oath. Period!"

A key Food and Drug Administration advisory committee unanimously recommended Thursday giving booster shots of Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine to people age 65 and older and other vulnerable Americans, a crucial step before the U.S. can start administering third shots to some of the more than 69 million people who originally received that vaccine. The nonbinding decision by the FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee would bring guidelines for Moderna in line with third shots of Pfizer and BioNTech’s vaccine. Those shots were authorized less than a month ago to a wide array of Americans, including the elderly, adults...

Does CNN host Chris Cuomo know what satire is? He actually suggested that New York Times economist Paul Krugman — whose wild predictions of an economic boom are falling flat — makes him more intelligent. Cuomo brought Krugman on the Oct. 13 edition of CNN’s Cuomo Prime Time to put lipstick on a string of terrible economic news plaguing President Joe Biden’s agenda. Cuomo said that “there are a combination of economic indicators that are conspiring to create a slowdown.” Turning to Krugman, Cuomo said “[f]ew know the stakes better than economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman.” Krugman...

A Moody’s report revealed supply chain disruptions will continue to increase costs for consumers before the crisis will resolve itself – perhaps in 2023, CNN reported Wednesday. Moody’s Analytics warned the business community on Monday: Supply chain disruptions “will get worse before they get better. As the global economic recovery continues to gather steam, what is increasingly apparent is how it will be stymied by supply-chain disruptions that are now showing up at every corner. Moody’s also said the shortage of truck drivers could be the “weakest link” in the supply chain, causing ports to remain full, which delays ships...

In many cases, those differences are admirable, but not always, and certainly were not admirable when The Post stood virtually alone a year ago. On this, its first anniversary, the Hunter Biden saga remains an outrageous scandal for two reasons.

We are in serious trouble in the United States of America. We have a mostly incoherent “president” that over half of America doesn’t believe was elected fairly. Joe Biden is likely taking orders from unelected people working behind the scenes with an agenda that is so evil that, if exposed by our dishonest media, would shock our nation to its core. 100 Percent Fed Up reports – On October 4, Barack Obama’s failed Supreme Court nominee turned Joe Biden’s Barack Obama’s Attorney General Merrick Garland sent a threatening note to warn parents of his plan to plant federal law enforcement...

Researchers have studied whether browsing by moose counteracts the effect of a warmer climate on forest growth. Credit: mlorenz / Shutterstock / NTB ============================================================================== Fast-growing deciduous trees can respond more quickly to a warmer climate than conifers, so climate change will influence the composition of forests through increased deciduous tree growth. But deciduous species are also the most vulnerable to browsing. "We studied how moose modify the climatic effect on boreal trees on two continents," says biologist Katariina Vuorinen, who defended her dissertation earlier this year. Vuorinen took her doctorate at NTNU, focusing on herbivore browsing in 47 demarcated sites...
