'Smoking-gun documents' prove Facebook censored Americans on behalf of White House, Jim Jordan says | Fox News

'Smoking-gun documents' prove Facebook censored Americans on behalf of White House, Jim Jordan says | Fox News

Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, on Thursday shared what he called "smoking-gun documents" proving Facebook censored Americans on behalf of the Biden administration in a lengthy social media thread. Jordan wrote the all-caps message, "THE FACEBOOK FILES, PART 1: SMOKING-GUN DOCS PROVE FACEBOOK CENSORED AMERICANS BECAUSE OF BIDEN WHITE HOUSE PRESSURE," before diving into the lengthy thread reminiscent of the so-called "Twitter Files" used earlier this year to disclose once-internal documents given to journalists once Elon Musk bought the social media platform.

Sadly true.

Not misleading. LYING!-----EPA's Misleading Heat Wave Info

EPA's Misleading Heat Wave Info
"One year ago, if you had visited the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) page on heat waves (Climate Change Indicators: Heat Waves) you would have found the lead chart to be the one below (Figure1). 
It shows that heat waves peaked 90 years ago and have been at a relatively low level (thankfully) since that time.


Since the government allows nothing good about our modern climate to be presented, the above chart has been replaced with the one below (Figure 2). It shows an alarming increase in frequency and intensity of heat waves.

As you have likely guessed, there is more to this story than first meets the eye. 

  • First, the chart begins in 1961, near the end of a 33-year cooling period that had some of the coolest temperatures since the 1930s and conveniently omits the high temperatures of that decade of the "Dust Bowl".
  • Second, and more importantly, the charts above are not representative of America but, rather, are heat measurements in the 50 largest metropolitan areas in the Lower 48 states...

Hmmm. Media don't be likin' this! (What a concept, report both sides of an issue!)

The latest "genius" idea from the the personal-vehicle-hating left-----Pilot program to include shared vehicle lane, bike lanes on Kalamazoo road | WWMT

Pilot program to include shared vehicle lane, bike lanes on Kalamazoo road | WWMTKALAMAZOO, Mich. — Kalamazoo is launching a pilot road project that would include a center lane shared by both directions of traffic.
An Edge Lane Road design, or Advisory Bike Lake, also includes dashed prioritized bike lanes on the outside. 
When a vehicle comes across another vehicle, both are expected to pause and move to the bike lane to pass each other, city officials said.
If a bicyclist is actively in the prioritized bike lane, the vehicle on the occupied bike side should yield behind the bike and let the other vehicle pass before continuing in center lane, according to the city...

Beyond his work as a cultural commentator, a professor, and a bestselling author, Dr. Jordan Peterson has also made a name for himself as an accomplished clinical psychologist.

Following complaints — not by clients but by strangers — about some of Peterson's publicly-stated views unrelated to the practice of psychology, the Canadian governing body for psychologists in his home province of Ontario ordered him late last year to submit to mandatory media training at his own expense.

Discrimination By Algorithm – the “ultimate showdown between equity and equality is going to take place at a technological level”
"...Building “equity” into algorithms and Artificial Intelligence in a variety of information decisions (employment, financial, and others) on the premise that anything other than proportional group representation is bias, is a major Biden administration objective. 
  • Supposed “bias free” algorithms will, in fact, be biased in favor of quotas. 
  • Proposed bipartisan legislation supported by Republicans may make matters worse.

'Alarming evidence' links China's Communist Party to American K-12 schools, anti-indoctrination group claims | Fox News

'Alarming evidence' links China's Communist Party to American K-12 schools, anti-indoctrination group claims | Fox News

Parents Defending Education (PDE), a grassroots organization dedicated to fighting indoctrination in the classroom, says it has uncovered disturbing evidence linking Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-sponsored financial entities to American K-12 schools. The findings are detailed in a new report dubbed "Little Red Classrooms," which was sent to 34 governors, key lawmakers and committee chairs on Wednesday. "The alarming evidence uncovered by our investigation should concern parents, educators, and policymakers alike. Families deserve to know who is influencing the American education system so that they can make informed choices about what their children are learning behind closed doors," PDE president Nicole Neily told Fox News Digital.

The Myth of the ‘Underfunded School’

The Myth of the ‘Underfunded School’ - John Hirschauer
  • A new report casts doubt on the old “underfunded schools” trope.
"It is hard to think of a pathology in American urban life, from crime to poverty to fatherlessness, that is not blamed on “underfunded schools.” 
Progressives conjure up images of a run-down schoolhouse with moldy walls, tattered decades-old textbooks, and musty blackboards to explain away the decades of academic underperformance and high drop-out, truancy, and delinquency rates in inner-city schools...

  • Michigan corporate welfare meets Hollywood accounting: What could go wrong?

reminder of what transpired from 2008-2015 when Michigan had film incentives:

  • Taxpayers spent $500 million, resulting in only a small, temporary job blip.
  • There were multiple studio collapses, including one in Pontiac (which required a bailout from the teacher pension system) and one in Allen Park (which nearly bankrupted the city).
  • The state film office approved a $1 million subsidy for a Michael Moore documentary...a movie that was about how those with connections took advantage of taxpayers...
