In Afghanistan girls end their education at 13, or after 6th grade-I believe. So is there a war on girls and their education in the Islamic World?

A great story, which originally appeared in the NYT, on Walz’s work as a coach and how it might give us insights into the man most of us were introduced to this week. I especially liked this part:
A 1995 drunken driving arrest upended his time on the sidelines. Mr. Walz, who eventually pleaded guilty to reckless driving, kept his teaching job but resigned from his coaching roles, despite pleas from his colleagues to remain.
“We all tried to talk him out of it because, in our eyes, none of us were perfect,” Mr. Almond said. “But in Tim’s eyes, he made a mistake on something he preached to the kids.”

He’s got a lot of money for a general of any kind. The evangelicals are deep in the military, and deep in the Pentagon.

Trump really, really, REALLY needs to win this election. For myriad legal reasons, and the psychic damage to his very being that would occur should he lose a second time. If it ever became apparent, as the election neared, that he was almost surely losing, how far would he go, what would he resort to, to salvage a win? Would he reach out to people capable of removing Harris from the race? By whatever means necessary?

Religious extremism and horrific abuse of women and children are inextricably linked.

None of my musing was idle or in jest. I think Trump, and/or those around him, are more than willing to take extreme measures if needed.

“Eradicate climate change references”; only talk to conservative media; don’t leave a paper trail for watchdogs to discover. In a series of never-before-published videos, Project 2025 details how a second Trump administration would operate.
Yep, and not just eradicate climate change references but abolish NOAA, along with the EPA and Dept. of Education. Because NOAA scientists talk too much about climate change. Bad climate scientists, Bad!
I’m sure farmers will appreciate not being able to get accurate weather information, and coastal residents don’t really need to get hurricane warnings, do they? We wouldn’t even be able to rely on the European weather models because they use NOAA satellite data. I guess we’ll just let all whose satellites fall out of orbit. Maybe Musk and SpaceX can sell us all weather information.
This exposes how weak, not to mention stupid, the Project 2025 agenda is. The Heritage Foundation troglodytes know that they don’t have the number of fellow believers to replace all the government employees in these Federal agencies. NOAA alone has 12,000 employees including 6,773 scientists. So the only way to achieve their goals is to just abolish the agency.

Yes! A thousand times yes! I hadn’t remembered the golden/silver/bronze progression, but I think you’re right. The nerdy types will recognize devolution when they see it.
