...for Her Threats to Young People Thinking of Working for Trump. A University of Chicago student has filed an ethics complaint against Sen. Elissa Slotkin for her recent suggestion that college graduates who work for the Trump administration might be prosecuted. “Senator Slotkin, if you thought this was over, you’re wrong,” said student Michael Bicksel in a video he posted on X on Oct. 22 as he held up a copy of an ethics complaint he filed with the U.S. Senate. “The complaint was submitted to the Senate Select Committee on Ethics and argues that Slotkin proposed using congressional investigations and potential prosecutions to frighten young people away from serving in a Republican administration,” Fox News reported.

Top Women's Podcast Promotes Divorce Because "There's Always Something Better"
Topic: Children and Family

[Ed: there is no one and thing better than my husband.[ If you want to know why 60% of men in the US (35-years-old or younger) have never been married and say they don't plan on getting married, study the behavior of modern women and you will find your answers in abundance. In other words, women are the problem. Around 43% of first-time marriages in the US end in divorce. But that's just the beginning - 67% of second marriages end in divorce and 75% of third marriages end in divorce. In 1960, the national divorce rate was less than 1%. What happened? The cancer of feminism happened. Women are psychologically far more likely to embrace group cooperation, group compliance and communal orientation. Feminism taps into these inherent collectivist tendencies and uses female group-think to encourage destructive and morally reprehensible behavior in individuals. Many women follow along; some fear being ostracized from the group, and others simply love the feeling of power that the mob gives them.

California’s Latest CAASPP Test Scores Reveal a Continuing Education Crisis
Topic: Children and Family
Source: California Policy Center
Last week, the California Department of Education released CAASPP (state standardized test) results for the 2025-26 school year. While Governor Newsom says the scores are evidence of “continued progress,” the numbers tell a different story. In a continuation of California’s chronically poor academic performance, just under half (49.3 percent) of California public school students scored at or above proficient in English language arts (reading, writing and comprehension). And in keeping with the historical trend, math proficiency continues to lag further behind, with just 38.6 percent of students scoring at or above proficient. A mere 36 percent of students scored at or above proficient for science.

Can't Find a Job The Wall Street Journal profiles 30-year-old chemical engineer Jack Weis. Princeton PhD in hand, 2,300 applications out the door, and still no offer: that's the reality for 30-year-old chemical engineer Jack Weis, the focus of a Wall Street Journal piece by Lindsay Ellis. Weis, whose ice-formation research was cited by the Nobel committee in 2024, has spent two years firing off résumés to big-name labs, pharma companies, and software firms—only to be met mostly with silence. A brief, $70-an-hour contract job training AI systems on chemical engineering lasted less than three months. "Eventually, he was getting ghosted for food-preparation jobs, including at a company that sells frozen crab cakes," writes Ellis.

UC Berkeley prof refuses to grade his students’ homework

...after noticing worrying trend: ‘No point’ (AI). A UC Berkeley professor has stopped grading students’ homework for correctness after noticing artificial intelligence tools were helping them rack up top marks. Richard Borcherds, a renowned mathematician who received the prestigious Fields Medal in 1998, said widespread student use of AI has undermined the value of traditional homework grading. “Student use of AI for homework is now widespread,” Borcherds told The California Post. “Grading for correctness just adds a huge incentive for them to use AI for homework instead of doing it themselves, and penalizes students for honesty.”

Yes, really. Bagels are now racist... A Harlem bagel shop that has served its neighborhood for nearly a decade was forced to pull a cartoon mascot from the sidewalk after an influencer declared the smiling, sunglasses-wearing bagel a "blackface bagel." Bo's Bagels on West 116th Street, opened in 2017 by New York native Andrew Martinez and co-owner Ashley Dikos after they could not find decent bagels in the area, displayed a life-sized cardboard cutout that doubled as a chalkboard sign. Designed by Harlem-based artist Tom Sanford, the mascot featured golden grills reading "Harlem World," a large gold ring marked "NYC," and the cheerful expression of a cartoon character.

The U.K.'s Online Safety Act Has Been a Failure.

Regulators Want To Broaden It Anyway. A new report reveals more shortcomings of the U.K.’s Online Safety Act. Who could have predicted that age-gating large sections of the internet in a crusade to shield children's eyeballs from vaguely defined "harmful content" would have disastrous consequences and wouldn't ultimately protect kids? Apparently, the United Kingdom's online regulator, Ofcom, couldn't. On Thursday, Ofcom released a report assessing whether the government should make changes to the content categories of the 2023 Online Safety Act, a set of laws which require companies operating in the U.K. to prevent children from "accessing harmful and age-inappropriate content and provide parents and children with clear and accessible ways to report problems online when they do arise."

Rome picks a side: LGBT ‘pilgrimage’ welcomed, Latin Mass shut out OpinionTo oppose the traditional Mass is to oppose the Mass, and to oppose the Mass is to oppose the Catholic faith itself.Catholics who love the traditional Latin Mass (TLM) have now been forcefully shut out from St. Peter’s Basilica. Pro-sodomy “pilgrims” have been deliberately welcomed. All within the span of just a little over a year, under the helm of Pope Leo XIV. A line has been drawn in the sand.The latest move against traditional Catholicism from the Vatican is so remarkable because it is so concrete and clear [Ed: warning, this is a very biased site but the information is interesting.]

Gen Z: Rapey Bros or Lying Hos?

The scandal at libertine, Leftist Cornell gave every pussy-hatted Lindsay Clancy fan a chance to pivot and point at males, especially the young ones. In a moment of supreme irony, Cornell Professor Kate Manne meets with Katie Couric to blame Gen Z males while ignoring Gen Z females and her employer’s enthusiastic promotion of Free Sex on campus. Of course, making men the punching bag for every disappointment in a woman’s life has long been the bread and butter of Second-wave hacks for decades. And that Manne and her misandrist diatribe is getting nod-alongs from Katie Couric is too perfect for words.

The Children Saved by Flock
Topic: Children and Family

Automated license plate readers have become a political flashpoint. No one talks about the dozens of children they’ve rescued. America is gripped by a panic over Flock’s network of automated license plate readers (ALPRs), driven by stories of abusive cops and people wrongly jailed because of what critics call a creeping surveillance state. The outcry has produced angry congressional hearings, hundreds of cancelled contracts, and the physical destruction of hundreds of cameras by vandals who have been cheered on even by some policy professionals. Last month, Senator Bernie Sanders and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez introduced legislation to defund states that don’t ban the cameras; theirs is the third proposal to do so this session. Largely absent from this discussion are stories like Allie’s, which is not unique: dozens of other children have been returned safely to their parents thanks in part to ALPR technology.

Universities Now Prefer Conformity Over the Pursuit of Truth
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: The Daily Economy
The recent scandal at Cambridge revealed how invested the academy is in pushing an ideology — even punishing dissenters who insist on telling the truth. Not long ago, universities and academics were revered (perhaps naively) for their unflinching pursuit of facts. The scientific method, tenure, academic freedom, and peer review are all set up to encourage innovative minds to follow the truth “wherever it may lead.” The Latin “veritas” is etched on their marble arches and woven into their seals. Truth is valuable. Mechanisms that help us tell what is true, that push us to correct our errors, are an essential part of the feedback loop.

The remains were donated to the city of Glasgow in 1923.

The Centre for Male Psychology's Position Statement on Identifying, Understanding, and Treating Men's Experiences of Depression. Depression in men is under-recognised, under-diagnosed, and often manifests differently in men than in women. Men are less likely than women to seek help, more likely to externalise symptoms (e.g., aggression), and self-medicate (e.g., alcohol abuse). The Centre for Male Psychology is committed to advancing evidence, improving clinical practice, and influencing public discourse on men’s mental health (Centre for Male Psychology, 2021). In this position statement we recommend a male-centred approach to understanding male depression. We hope that this document will bring about a change in how we research, treat, and talk about men’s depression.
