The pandemic may be winding down, but the work-from-home revolution marches on. Nearly 30 percent of all work happened at home in January, six times the rate in 2019, according to WFH Research, a data-collection project. In Washington and other large urban centers, the share of remote work is closer to half. In the nation’s biggest cities, entire office buildings sit empty. The COVID-19 pandemic transformed the American workplace. The share of all work performed at home rose from 4.7 percent in January 2019 to 61 percent in May 2020. Some economists consider the remote-work boom the greatest change to...

Special education teacher, Alicia Messing, testified before the Arizona Senate Education Committee in opposition to Arizona bill SB1700. The bill would give parents greater insight into materials used by their schools and a procedure for objecting to material they find objectionable, especially those that are found to be ‘lewd or sexual in nature, that promote gender fluidity or gender pronouns or that groom children into normalizing pedophilia’. Messing seemed quite confident that her master’s degree qualified her to make these decisions for parents. She went even further to explain her philosophy with the following quote: ‘The purpose of public education...

For the last four years at her Christian college, Gracie Turner had been keeping a secret. She had lost her faith. In high school, she watched cancer ravage her great-grandmother. Then she saw her family fall apart. One fight drove her to call the police on a relative. “I just remember thinking, why is this happening? How could this happen? And my first thought, or first person to blame was God,” Turner, a 21-year-old film major, told me. “I would lay in bed sometimes and just pray to God, like, it would be really nice if I didn’t wake up...

What she said is what many teachers think, and it’s a concept that needs to be destroyed to protect America's children. Before women’s lib, America’s teachers were often the best and brightest women in a college class because teaching was one of their few career options. Since women’s lib, the women who achieve academically usually choose majors other than teaching. Teachers today tend to fall into two categories: (1) A small number of men and women (usually conservative) with a real passion for education and (2) insecure, narcissistic people who struggle academically and look to a room full of helpless...

Kyiv's security chief vowed that Ukraine's 'tanks will be parked on Moscow's Red Square and that will be justice' ahead of the first anniversary of Putin's invasion. Oleksiy Danilov, Kyiv's National Security and Defence Council boss, called Vladimir Putin 'Hitler's twin' as he reiterated Ukraine's ambition to expel all Russian troops from its soil, including from Crimea which was annexed by Moscow in 2014. The security boss previously warned the bloodiest battles are 'yet to come' within the next few months, in what will be a 'defining' moment of the war, amid warnings that the Russian president will soon launch...

It appears the liberal media doomsaying over how Twitter owner Elon Musk was supposedly going to make the company implode by cutting the old regime’s censorship-obsessed workforce in half was nothing but noise. And even a Washington Post columnist had to eat crow. Post columnist Megan McArdle was blunt in her Feb. 19 op-ed: “How Elon Musk fired Twitter staff and broke nothing.” She admitted right off the bat that she was “incredulous” when “Musk said he was going to cut up to 75 percent of Twitter’s workforce last year.” McArdle noted that she initially viewed Musk’s workforce overhaul as...

ver wonder whether computers will one day be capable of doing everything that human beings can? If so, pick up the recent book by engineer and computer scientist Dr. Robert J. Marks: “Non-Computable You: What You Do That Artificial Intelligence Never Will.” Marks explains what makes human beings unique, and therefore why no computer will ever match all human capabilities. To be sure, computers excel humans at many tasks — but only tasks that are “algorithmic,” or that entail step-by-step instructions to complete, such as calculating probabilities, retrieving information, or executing functions. That is why advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems...

Here is a very interesting video of the founding of our country, and our first President, George Washington, from the perspective of a Japanese historian. Happy Washington's Birthday!

Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, who is rumored to be contemplating a 2024 presidential run, spent his Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” pretending he is more of a “small government” Republican than Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who recently took action to protect children from radical gender ideology in government schools. “I’m a small-government, you know, common-sense conservative, and to me, [DeSantis’ governance] sounds like big government and authoritarian: ‘You have to agree with me, and I’m going to tell you what you can and can’t do,’” Hogan told host Chuck Todd. Hogan wants voters to think he believes in...

The Biden Regime never fails to orchestrate an avenue to circumvent the U.S. Constitution and betray the American people. A bombshell report from the Epoch Times Saturday reveals the Regime is about to surrender America’s sovereignty to the World Health Organization (WHO) and give them full control over future pandemic policy. The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on these negotiations between the Regime and the WHO over the past year. TGP’s Alicia Powe, for example, exclusively revealed that Biden’s Health and Human Service Department secretly submitted proposed amendments, “Strengthen WHO preparedness for and response to health emergencies,” to the WHO...
