As Colorado kids struggle to recoup learning losses post-pandemic, teachers unions keep proving that’s not their priority. Standing at the center is the state’s most prominent teachers union — the Colorado Education Association. At the CEA’s statewide conference on April 22, the organization — which claims to represent teachers — took a brazen, ideological stance when it passed a resolution attacking capitalism for “inherently exploit(ing) children, public schools, land, labor, and resources.” Never mind how America’s free enterprise system enables businesses and homeowners to pour billions of dollars into our state’s education system through taxation, or the philanthropic contributions of...

It would not be appropriate for the Ukrainian President to make an address on the Eurovision Song Contest final because the programme is apolitical, organisers have said. President Volodymyr Zelenskly wanted to address the hundreds of millions of people worldwide expected to watch the finals of the Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday, but has been blocked from doing so by the European Broadcast Union (EBU). The appearance may have been intended to be like Zelensky’s video appearance at the 2022 Grammy Awards and the 2023 Berlin Film Festival and U.S. Golden Globes ceremony, where he asked for support and asked...

With some creative license, Martin Niemöller’s famous prose can be remade into something silly but fitting for our contemporary reality:First they came for the incandescent light bulbs but I did not speak out, because I am a virtue-signaling leftist.Then they came for the freon but I did not speak out, because I am a virtue-signaling leftist.Then they came for the gas stoves but I did not speak out, because I am a virtue-signaling leftist.Then they came for the dishwashers but I did not speak out, because I am a virtue-signaling leftist.On and on ad nauseam; you get the point.Last week,...

Artist impression of a black hole accretion. Astronomers led by the University of Southampton have discovered the largest cosmic explosion ever observed, known as AT2021lwx.

As the World Grows More Demonically Insane, the Cross of Christ Beckonsvery day in the secular realm, we find new indications that the world is almost completely insane, and the insanity increasingly has a distinctly demonic aspect to it. As demonically insane as the secular world looks now, though, it is the picture of holy sanity compared to Francis’s Synodal Church. Since Easter alone, we have the following manifestations of insane wickedness from Rome: The celebration of an Anglican ceremony in St. John LateranFrancis’s gift of relics of the True Cross to King Charles IIIThe blasphemous transgender “art” exhibit in...

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Will he or won’t he run? That continues to be the question as Florida’s governor departs for another out-of-state trip this weekend. Ron DeSantis is hitting Illinois Friday evening, then the key caucus state of Iowa on Saturday, only furthering speculation that a White House bid is right around the corner. Wthout saying so, DeSantis is giving every indication that he’s getting ready for a bid. He hasn’t given a firm "no" when asked, and has a new book laying out his political platform. Post-legislative session, Florida governor is in the air again, this time to Iowa,...

As Joe Biden's weakly enforced Title 42 expires and illegal border crossers can no longer be expelled from the U.S. based on pandemic considerations, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas had a tough, scary, message for potential migrants: "I want to be very clear: our borders are not open. People who cross our border unlawfully and without a legal basis to remain will be promptly processed and removed," Mayorkas said. Which is laughable. He's made that tough, scary warning many times before, and well, here we are. According to Fox News. here's the real priority: Sources tell Fox News that the...

Promissory notes are stacked to the Treasury Department’s proverbial ceiling, $31.4 trillion dollars’ worth of them. Over $5 trillion of those dollars have been purchased and are held by the Federal Reserve bank; meaning the federal financial system, in effect, lends money to itself.Because of a statutorily-set debt limit, the Treasury hasn’t be able to borrow more money from itself to fund government operations since January, 2023. To make matters more dire, soon the Treasury won’t be able scrounge any more cash to pay all the bills through “extraordinary measures.” Congress and the President need to find a way to...

Adidas has decided what it's going to do with its unsold Yeezy merchandise. At an investors' conference Thursday, Adidas CEO Bjørn Gulden said that the apparel company is going to "sell parts of this inventory and donate money to the organizations that are helping us and that was also hurt by Kanye's statements."

The school service centre that oversees La Chanterelle school in Quebec City said the teachers made the decision — which was announced to parents by email — because several students in their classes don’t have a mother or father, while others are in foster homes. “It is clear … that this initiative was motivated by the teachers’ benevolent intentions towards the students in...

PORTLAND, Ore. — A Multnomah County measure that aims to provide free legal representation to tenants facing eviction is on the ballot next Tuesday. The cost of living and the rising cost of rent is driving more and more Multnomah County residents into eviction court. “Evictions are rising, the need is rising," said Colleen Carroll who is a co-coordinator for Eviction Representation for All.
