Who Runs the Best U.S. Schools? It May Be the Defense Department

12th October 2023

New York Times.

With about 66,000 students — more than the public school enrollment in Boston or Seattle — the Pentagon’s schools for children of military members and civilian employees quietly achieve results most educators can only dream of.

On the National Assessment of Educational Progress, a federal exam that is considered the gold standard for comparing states and large districts, the Defense Department’s schools outscored every jurisdiction in math and reading last year and managed to avoid widespread pandemic losses.

Modern ‘journalism’ requires that every article be started with a ‘heart-warming’ (or ‘chilling’) anecdote. Just ignore it and cut to what used to be called the Topic Sentence. (Sometimes the old ways are best.)

The Heartbreak of Software

2nd October 2023

Read it..

It has become painfully clear in recent decades that, more and more, the major stumbling block in weapon acquisition programs is software, rather than hardware.

The F-35, for example, has failed on the software side of things rather than the hardware. The all-encompassing, mission planning, parts inventory controlling, maintenance regulating, aircraft health assessing ALIS software has been a colossal, and to date, unrecoverable, failure. Further, the F-35 was planned to be fully combat capable only with the advent of the Block 4 software upgrade which is now hopelessly behind schedule and has had many of its planned features deleted or deferred to some undetermined future time.

A Nation of Dress Codes, Not Politicians

27th September 2023

Read it.

Senate Majority Leader Schumer’s announcement that members of the not especially respected body will be able to wear what they want means that out go the business suits and in go Sen. Fetterman’s basketball shorts. The point of the old dress code was that the Senate was engaged in serious business and its members should look like adult professionals.

But what if its members, like Sen. Kyrsten Sinema or Sen. John Fetterman, aren’t adults? Sinema and Fetterman have both taken to wearing what feels good rather than attire that treats the offices they hold with due seriousness. And they are just flaunting what so many members of Congress already believe: that the office is all about their self-expression and about them.

But that common sense apparently didn’t extent to streetcars, which are an even dumber idea than light rail as streetcars are slower than buses, far more expensive, and can’t get out of their own way if one breaks down.

Democrat Sen. Bob Menendez, Wife Indicted Over Gold Bar And Other Bribery Schemes

22nd September 2023

Read it.

Not his first rodeo.

Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and his wife Nadine have been indicted in New York for allegedly accepting bribes in relation to an allegedly corrupt relationship they had with three businessmen from their home state. The indictment also charges three businessmen, Wael Hana, Jose Uribe and Fred Daibes.

“Those bribes included cash, gold, payments toward a home mortgage, compensation for a low-or-no-show job, a luxury vehicle, and other things of value,” reads the indictment.

…

In June of last year, federal agents searched Menendez’s New Jersey home, where they found “fruits” of the pair’s “corrupt bribery agreement” with the three businessman – including over $480,000 in cash, some of which was stuffed in envelopes, and $70,000 in Nadine Menendez’s safe deposit box.

They also found gold bars worth over $100,000, “provided by either Hana or Daibes.”

Clothes Make the Man

21st September 2023

John Hinderaker at Power Line.

More accurately, clothes reflect the man. John Fetterman dresses in a manner that is deliberately slovenly and inappropriate, and that appears intended to mock the institution of which he is a member. But it’s not just that: the rest of his conduct is similarly inappropriate and demeaning to the office he holds.

When Fetterman speaks, his brain damage is evident, and he can be an object of sympathy. But when he posts on social media, the sympathy factor is gone. He comes across like a troubled 15-year-old boy who never grew up.

The Perks of Public Office

17th September 2023

Washington Free Beacon.

It pays to be a politician—literally.

That’s the argument of conservative commentator Matt Lewis’s new book Filthy Rich Politicians, lambasting the culture of corruption in politics that stems from elected officials monetizing their power in the most flagrant possible ways.

The timing of the book’s publication comes at a populist moment, with the hit song “Rich Men North of Richmond” having topped the Billboard charts and reflecting widespread angst about the growing chasm between the haves and have-nots. Lewis, refreshingly, is able to criticize the excesses of the ruling class without getting mired in the self-defeating grievance that defines so much of today’s populist movement.

Through outlining too-good-to-be-true book deals to hiring family members on staff to capitalizing on all-too-timely stock trades, Lewis takes readers through an eye-opening tour of lawmakers’ conflicts of interest that leave so many Americans jaded toward the Swamp that is Washington, D.C.

As Lewis puts it: “The rich get elected and the elected get rich.”

A Soda Tax Turns 5

14th September 2023

The Foundry.

Want a soda? You’ll pay more for one in Philadelphia, because five years ago, local politicians decided to tax it.

They’re “protecting” people, they said. The tax would “reduce obesity” and “lower diabetes rates.”

But the politicians’ main goal was to bring in more money, which they said would “fund early childhood education” and “help a lot of families.”

Vivek Ramaswamy Floats Plan to Cut These 6 Agencies

14th September 2023

The Foundry.

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy says he would eliminate five federal agencies if elected.

Ramaswamy, a successful entrepreneur and businessman, says he is eyeing the FBI, the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Education, and the Commerce Department, Axios first reported Wednesday. The Republican hopeful also targets the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

“The CEO, the leader of the executive branch, does indeed have the authority to decide who is and is not hired in the executive branch,” Ramaswamy said Wednesday in a speech at the America First Policy Institute. “Speaking as a CEO, if somebody works for you and you can’t fire them, that means they don’t work for you. It means you work for them.”
