EXCERPT:

The corruption-plagued Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) agreed on Sunday to a tentative two-year deal to boost teacher pay by nearly 14 percent in order to avoid a threatened strike.

According to The New York Post, the agreement with United Teachers Los Angeles (UTLA) and Associated Administrators of Los Angeles (AALA) would see salaries rise by 13.86 percent over two years, depending on experience.

The agreement with two out of three teachers unions comes after more than a year of tense negotiations with and pressure from teachers unions amid threats to cause widespread school disruption by going on strike.

Indiana U. professor says he was denied emeritus status after posting about male IQ www.thecollegefix.com

EXCERPT:

Eric Rasmusen, a well-known professor of economics at Indiana University, recently said he was denied his application for emeritus status.

Rasmusen retired in 2021, but decided not to apply for emeritus status until last year when the university stopped offering free access to online journal subscriptions for faculty who were retired but not emeritus, Rasmusen wrote recently on his substack.

“If I continue to be denied access, I will accept that,” he told The College Fix in a recent interview. “It isn’t fair, but I can ask friends at Indiana University and elsewhere to look up scholarly articles if I need them.”

Typically, professors who retire in good status are awarded the title “emeritus,” but Rasmusen said he was not. He believes the answer to this question goes back to 2019 and a controversial social media post about men and IQ.

Just over three months ago, Australia’s world-leading regulations attempting to ban social media use by under-16s came into force. The relevant regulator, the eSafety Commissioner, has released its first compliance report on the effectiveness of the Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Act 2024. The report makes interesting reading, given the number of countries apparently considering whether to emulate the Australian endeavors.

Somewhat unsurprisingly, the eSafety Commissioner finds “progress” to be remarkably modest. Based on a survey of 898 parents and caregivers of children age eight to 15 taken between January 19 and February 2, 2026, the commissioner reports that while just under half reported their children having their own account on at least one of the banned platforms prior to the law coming into force on December 10, 2025, that proportion decreased to only 31.3 percent in the survey period.

Hungary will face major blows to its democracy and suffer greatly at the hands of globalists after the victory of the opposition Tisza party in Hungary’s national elections, said the Our Homeland party (Mi Hazánk) leader, László Toroczkai.

“Since we already have experience with a government backed by the same circles — after all, Gordon Bajnai also sat there as an invited guest at the Bilderberg Group’s meetings — we know what to expect. The deterioration of the state of democracy, the establishment of a liberal-globalist dictatorship,” said Toroczkai.

Toroczkai’s party is considered even farther to the right than Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz party, with his party promoting a stricter immigration line, blaming Orbán for an increase in legal immigration in recent years.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps asserted their sweeping control over the Strait of Hormuz, even as it signalled that civilian maritime traffic remains permitted under regulated conditions.In a statement, quoted by AFP, the Guards’ naval command said, “All traffic… is under the full control of the armed forces,” accompanied by footage showing vessels targeted through crosshairs. The warning escalated further with the message, “The enemy will become trapped in a deadly vortex in the Strait if it makes the wrong move.”

Hungary’s strongman Viktor Orban has lost reelection in stunning fashion, an absolute electoral wipeout that presages what his MAGA allies in the U.S. will be facing this November.

The brand-new opposition Tisza party won around 53% of the vote, to just 37% for Orban’s Fidesz. Tisza is projected to secure around 138 seats in the 199-seat parliament, comfortably above the 133 needed for a supermajority, giving it the power to rewrite Hungary’s constitution and begin dismantling the autocratic system Orban spent 16 years building. Fidesz currently holds 135 seats.

A chilling new report is raising fresh alarm over how far elite-backed science may be willing to go, revealing that some researchers are openly discussing the possibility of growing “brainless” human body clones for future use by wealthy individuals who are aging or dying.

The idea sounds like dystopian fiction.

However, according to a new investigation, a billionaire-backed startup has been tied to discussions about creating non-sentient replacement bodies, human clones without functioning brains, that could one day serve as vessels for brain transplants.

Donald Trump hasn’t done interviews with neutral journalists who could challenge him in years. Trump’s venues of choice are either cell phone interviews that last a minute or two or conservative media like Fox News and Newsmax.

The Fox News interviews are heavily manufactured, usually pretaped, and edited before they air.

It takes a special level of incompetence to go on a network that is propagandistic and supportive and botch a softball question in such a friendly and managed environment.

The issue that is driving the special election results that Democrats have been dominating, and the Democratic Party’s midterm generic ballot lead that has been growing, is the economy. Inflation and rising prices are driving voter outrage directed at this president and his administration.

The first thing you learn about a loom is that it’s easy to break.

The shuttle runs along a track that warps with humidity. The heddles hang from cords that fray. The reed is a row of thin metal strips, bent by hand, that bend back just as easily. The warp beam cracks if you over-tighten it. The treadles loosen at the joints. The breast beam, the cloth roller, the ratchet and pawl, the lease sticks, the castle; the whole contraption is wood and string held together by tension. It’s a piece of ingenuity and craftsmanship, but one as delicate as the clothes it manifests out of wild plant fibers. It is, also, the foundational tool of an entire industry, textiles, that has kept its relevance to our days of heavy machinery, factories, energy facilities, and datacenters.

“As leaders of teams working for Eric Swalwell, we’re horrified by the recent reporting in the San Francisco Chronicle and by CNN,” more than a dozen staffers said in an unsigned statement on Saturday. “We stand with our former colleague, and the other women who have come forward.

Stanley Milgram’s 1961–62 Yale University experiment tested obedience, where participants believed they delivered painful electric shocks to others under authority.

In the early 1960s, a deceptively simple question took shape inside a laboratory at Yale University: how far would an ordinary person go if instructed by an authority figure to harm someone else? The answer, offered by psychologist Stanley Milgram, would become one of the most cited, and most contested, findings in modern psychology.Milgram’s obedience experiments, conducted between 1961 and 1962, did not begin as abstract inquiry. They were shaped by the aftermath of the Holocaust and, more specifically, by the trial of Adolf Eichmann, who defended his role in organising the logistics of the mass deportation of Jews to ghettos and extermination camps, a central part of the Nazi programme of systematic mass murder, by claiming he had been “just following orders.” In his 1974 book Obedience to Authority, Stanley Milgram framed the question directly: “Could it be that Eichmann and his million accomplices in the Holocaust were just following orders? Could we call them all accomplices?”

President Donald Trump spent the last week causing global panic, threatening to wipe out Iranian civilization before walking it back—at least for now.

But his callous threats are nothing new.

This is just the latest example of Republicans indulging themselves in phony masculinity by championing loud and obnoxious aggression. And this type of behavior didn’t begin with Trump, and it isn’t even the first time the right’s saber-rattling has involved Iran.

Intrepid reporter Laura Loomer has uncovered video and documents that disqualifies Abdul Sayel from office and triggers serious legal scrutiny.

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate, Abdul El-Sayed signed a past pledge supporting Mohamed Morsi, the former Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood president.

The clip from Michigan gubernatorial candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s exchange with Republican Sen. Patrick Colbeck has reemerged as he campaigns for U.S. Senate, drawing fresh scrutiny over his response to claims of Sharia support and Muslim Brotherhood ties. He signed a statement backing Egypt’s Mohamed Morsi. And rallies on campus with figures like anti-America, anti-Jew inciter Hasan Piker.

Abdul El Sayed, the jihadi candidate, continues to run for office, lose and run and run again. Who is funding this election jihad? Who in the Democrat party continues to puts forth these enemies of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?

MS Now’s host tells America Trump is worst than Hitler, than any “cruel king EVER… “

Hitler Was Better Than Trump, America Committed Suicide – newsbusters.org

Fresh off of cheering on Iran for how they “humiliated” President Trump by trying to kill American airmen, MS NOW’s Lawrence O’Donnell kicked off Tuesday night’s show by suggesting Adolf Hitler wasn’t as bad a leader as Trump. He went even further and suggested that America committed suicide as a civilization when voters elected Trump a second time.

As O’Donnell was coming on the air, his first words were a jab a trump and praise for Hitler. “’A whole civilization will die tonight.’ Hitler never said that,” he declared for the man who wanted to exterminate the Jews and wrote an entire book about it.

According to O’Donnell, no villain in the history of the world was as bad as Trump. “No head of state in the history of the world ever said that. Civilization had to wait literally thousands of years until today, April 7th, 2026 at 8:06 A.M. for a head of state to say and threaten ‘A whole civilization will die tonight,’” he asserted.

Adding: “No cruel king ever threatened that, no mass murdering tyrant anywhere in the world ever said that, or even thought it was possible.”

The Progressive-led Mexican government is looking to aggressively push towards a cashless society and a national digital ID system.

Mexico Advances Plans to Eliminate Cash, Mandate Digital ID – slaynews.com

Mexico’s far-left government is accelerating globalist plans to roll out a sweeping biometric ID system while laying the groundwork for a cashless society, raising serious concerns about privacy, surveillance, and government control.

Under President Claudia Sheinbaum, officials are framing the initiative as voluntary modernization.

However, the details of the plans tell a different story.

Biometric ID Push Tied to Everyday Life

At the center of the plan is the new CURP Biométrica, an upgraded national identity system that goes far beyond traditional ID.

The program will require citizens to submit:

  • Fingerprints (all ten)
  • Iris scans
  • Facial recognition data
  • Digital signature

After President Trump took out Soleimani, you would think that his relatives wouldn’t be allowed to spread anti-American hate in the United States. Turns out the State Department is just getting around to it. An F-15E was struck down over Iran, and American special forces went in to recover the missing pilots. Europe just doesn’t understand why it matters. X has become a right wing echo chamber. At least, Nate Silver thinks so. Let’s try to figure out his logic.

Democrats: Trump is totalitarian.

Democrat state congressional candidate: Yes! Also, take away the internet access of his supporters for four years so they can’t say anything.

Democrats: Don’t see any contradiction there!

That, at least, is the tacit message being sent by the national party and one of their more prominent state legislature candidates, Suzanna Karatassos. She’s running to be the party’s nominee in House District 120 — typically a Republican seat, but you never know in a midterm year with an important Democratic U.S. Senate seat to hold onto.

Karatassos describes herself as “a wife and mother in Georgia” who wants “to see Georgia thrive and for all our citizens to be able to lead a life of prosperity with dignity.” And that requires the right to political expression, which she says is being stifled.

“The foundation of our democracy is the right to vote, and every Georgian deserves to have their voice heard and their vote counted,” her campaign website reads.

NEW YORK — A Pakistani man pleaded guilty to a terrorism charge Wednesday, saying it was a “morally reprehensible idea” to support the Islamic State group by plotting to use automatic weapons to kill Jewish people at a Brooklyn center.

Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, 21, said he answered the group’s call for Muslims to kill Jewish people by plotting to attack the Jewish center in October 2024.

He entered the plea in Manhattan federal court over 18 months after he was brought to the United States from Canada, where he was arrested on Sept. 4, 2024, in or near Ormstown, Canada, which is 12 miles from the U.S. border.

In a release, Assistant Attorney General for National Security John A. Eisenberg said Khan planned a mass shooting to coincide with the anniversary of the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attacks “with the explicit goal of killing as many Jews as possible.”
