Texas teachers packing heat to make $25K as armed ‘sentinels’ if bill passes Texas teachers could be paid up to $25,000 to multi-task as armed “sentinels” in school, under a new proposal. The idea is laid out in a new bill being considered by lawmakers, which was written in response to the deadly mass shooting at a Uvalde elementary school where 19 kids and two teachers were killed last year. House Bill 13 would pay teachers or other school staffers to start packing heat at public and open-enrollment charter schools, but they would be required to take firearms and mental... View Article

Karine Jean-Pierre’s insane border lie sums up why we’re in this mess Just when you thought she couldn’t more directly contradict reality, chief White House flack Karine Jean-Pierre claimed Monday: “When it comes to illegal migration, you’ve seen it come down by more than 90%” under President Biden.

Fiscal 2022 ended with close to 2.38 million migrant encounters, the highest ever, topping Biden’s massive first fiscal-year record-setter of almost 1.96 million. https://nypost.com/2023/05/02/karine-jean-pierres-insane-border-lie-sums-up-why-were-in-this-mess/ White House has...

Both previously competed on their school’s men’s teams and were competitive in the men’s division.

Science says liberals, not conservatives, are psychotic A political-science journal that published an oft-cited study claiming conservatives were more likely to show traits associated with “psychoticism” now says it got it wrong. Very wrong. The American Journal of Political Science published a correction this year saying that the 2012 paper has “an error” — and that liberal political beliefs, not conservative ones, are actually linked to psychoticism. “The interpretation of the coding of the political attitude items in the descriptive and preliminary analyses portion of the manuscript was exactly reversed,” the journal said in the startling correction. “The descriptive analyses...
