The Average College Student Today
This is tragic. Our educational system is the biggest problem the Republic faces.
“The Signal I Was Waiting For”
I haven’t had much to say about this kerfuffle, but CDR Salamander has a pretty good take, IMO.

About The “Rescue” Of The “Stranded” Astronauts
I finally got fed up:
OK, so I’m getting really, really tired of listening to the abject ignorance and obtuseness from @JesseBWatters and @greggutfeld, at @TheFive who are normally smart people, about astronauts, the ISS, and NASA. No, Elon didn’t “rescue” them yesterday. If he “rescued” them at all,…

The Second Amendment Is Obsolete
“Fifteen Days To Stop The Spread”
Time flies. It’s been five years since one of the (many) big lies about the pandemic.
We had to fumigate the house for termites, and decided to take the cats up to Cambria for a couple days (their first, and so far, only road trip, which they probably think was some kind of weird dream), so we wouldn’t have to board them. We were supposed to meet some friends from Berkeley, but the lock down had just begun in the Bay Area, and they decided not to go. I wouldn’t say that the town was a ghost town, but it was decidedly weird. When we got back to LA, things just started rapidly deteriorating with all the lunacy from there.

Jennifer Sey: “The five-year anniversary of the lockdowns is here, and I’m angry.”
So am I. So should we all be. And Deborah Birx (among many others) has never been held accountable for her (her word) “subterfuge.“

Funny how there are never any Muslim hijab wearing girls in these stories where students are forced to disrobe in America

To me, it screams that school officials know exactly what they are doing when they decide to abuse little girls
The trans student is also a pawn here sadly https://t.co/K4Jpmo9TxN
I love Simone. Being of Pakistani ancestry, she knows whereof she speaks.
“Elite” Higher Education
Is the jig (finally) up?
Let’s hope so. It’s done immeasurable damage to the Republic.

Universities went from graduating capable middle-class workers to producing debt slaves.
— Suhr Majesty™ (@ULTRA_MAJESTY) March 13, 2025
Why?
Because the elites realized long ago that they didn’t need the middle class anymore to make money.
So they turned the liberal left women from focusing on Wall Street to focusing on…

🚨NEW: Marc Andreessen breaks down how the University scam works and how they misappropriate taxpayer money. "There is a government supported and funded cartel that doesn't allow new entrants to get access to Federal money. They must be allowed to fail." pic.twitter.com/exAT2obaBJ

Crew Or Automated
An interesting thread:
Will the flight crew get to “drive” Starship HLS during terminal landing on the Moon, or will landing be fully automated? The idea of a pilot landing something so tall and massive by hand on rough terrain seems a little… difficult? But if there’s no crew in the loop, how will… pic.twitter.com/338ApLPcLx
