Who needs actual achievement when your address is the "context"?!!-----Yet Another Bad Admissions Idea
The College Board’s “Landscape” tool is terrible news for admissions fairness. Graham Hillard
- Leigh made a 34 on the ACT.
- Bill made a 23.
Which of the two do you want attending your academically selective college? ...Yet, following the logic of Landscape, the College Board’s quietly insidious “contextualization” resource, admissions officers may find themselves shunting Leigh aside in Bill’s favor.
Developed in 2018 and broadly available since 2020, Landscape is a free admissions dashboard that allows decision makers to “consider each student within the context of where they’ve learned and lived.”...

Their scam is so weak, they're forced to lie to convince the gullible.-----No, Bloomberg, Neither Extreme Weather Nor Climate is Worsening in Swelling Cities
What is most telling is that the Bloomberg map shows clearly the at-risk urban cities that have the lowest per-capita income and lower access to inexpensive energy. It is no surprise that most of economically depressed Africa and much of Asia and India are shown to be the most “at risk.” - From ClimateREALISM - By Anthony Watts

The recent announcement that air conditioning will not be provided at the Olympic venues is a prime example
- The 2024 Paris Olympics are shaping up to be an event filled with athletic prowess and, unsurprisingly, a hefty dose of virtue signaling.
- In a bid to flaunt their environmental consciousness, the organizers have decided to rely on “sustainable” cooling methods, leaving teams to fend for themselves in the sweltering Parisian summer.

Former attorney general pulls rug from under DOJ's defense for keeping Biden tapes hidden | Blaze Media:
According to the former attorney general, the effort to hide the tapes strongly suggests that the Biden administration believes its release "would prove embarrassing to the President and politically damaging" — which is hardly a justifiable reason to assert executive privilege or shrug off FOIA requests.
Get US outof the UN!-----Shutting Afghan women out of key UN conference to appease Taliban ‘a betrayal’
Group allegedly demanding Afghan participation in Doha meeting this month be limited to men and that women’s rights be excluded from the agenda - Tom Levitt , Annie Kelly and Zahra Joya
- Excluding Afghan women from an upcoming UN conference on Afghanistan would be a “betrayal” of women and girls in the country, say human rights groups and former politicians.
- The Taliban are reportedly demanding that no Afghan women be allowed to participate in the UN meeting in Doha starting 30 June, set up to discuss the international community’s approach to Afghanistan, and that women’s rights are not on the agenda.
- “This situation is an indirect submission to the will of the Taliban. Law, democracy and sustainable peace are not possible without including half of the population of the society who are women. I don’t think we have learned anything from past mistakes.

Price Drop: Finland’s Grand Nuclear Move Delivers Cheap Power Bonanza
Thanks to their new nuclear power plants, Finns went from suffering among Europe’s highest power prices to enjoying its lowest."They now pay a mere fraction of what their wind and solar obsessed German neighbours are forced to pay for an ideological and delusional obsession.
When Finland fired up its 1,600MW Olkiluoto 3 nuclear plant in April 2023, power users were bound to notice that average spot electricity prices dropped from €245.98 per MWh in December 2022 to €60.55 per MWh hour in April 2023.
As Nick Cater points out below, Finland provides the perfect and obvious lesson for this Country, which, like the Germans remains wedded to the belief that it can run on nothing but sunshine and breezes...

When the U.S. House of Representatives passed its version of the National Defense Authorization Act last week, which authorized $895.2 billion in military spending, one of the measures included would automatically register men aged 18 to 26 for Selective Service. Not to be outdone, in the Senate, language from Democrats has been added to the NDAA, as it’s called, that would also require women to register for the draft.
How Environmentalism Got Replaced By Climatism And Green Energy Fetishism - Climate Change Dispatch
Environmentalism in America is dead. It has been replaced by climatism and renewable energy fetishism. - Robert Bryce"The movement birthed by Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring in the early 1960s and Earth Day in the 1970s — a movement that once aimed to protect landscapes, wildlands, whales, and wildlife — has morphed into the NGO-corporate-industrial-climate complex.
Rather than preserve wildlands and wildlife, today’s “green” NGOs have devolved into a sprawling network of nonprofit and for-profit groups aligned with big corporations, big banks, and big law firms.

Lunch video-----Gates foundation funding
Going into caves where humans are seldom found, taking a bat fecal sample containing thousands of viruses, bringing those viruses back to a laboratory, and culturing the specimens, where a virus that might be controlled in a diverse natural environment but is now able to grow unrestricted in pure culture provides an immense increase in opportunity for potential pandemic risk, even without genetic engineering.
This is the goal of the Global Virome Project, a Gates Foundation funded, EcoHealth Alliance associated effort...
