The legacy of unionized, government teachers who refused to show up because of COVID-19: Students in 2022 are performing at a level last seen two decades ago

 In math, the average score for 9-year-old students fell 7 percentage points between 2020 and 2022, according to the study. The average reading score fell 5 points. . . . Although it marks a sharp drop since 2020, the average reading score was 7 points higher than it was in 1971, and the average math score was 15 points higher than in 1978, the study found.

Now just in time for the election lying Democrats, but I repeat myself, want you to think that they and their allies opposed school closings when they were attacking Republicans for wanting them open.

As with electric cars, rooftop solar energy is great until it blows up and starts on fire: Now they tell us

 Between April 2020 and June 2021, solar panels atop Amazon fulfillment centers caught fire or experienced electrical explosions at least six different times. ...

The documents, which have never been made public, indicate that between April 2020 and June 2021, Amazon experienced “critical fire or arc flash events” in at least six of its 47 North American sites with solar installations, effecting 12.7% of such facilities. Arc flashes are a kind of electrical explosion. ... 

By June of last year, all of Amazon’s U.S. operations with solar had to be taken offline . . ..

Ann Coulter was hopelessly in love with Jeff Sessions' man Stephen Miller before 2019, then hated on him for a while, and is now back to retweeting him

Your reminder that Ann Coulter was for Hillary over McCain in 2008

 


Ann Coulter says Republicans shouldn't waste their time defending their incumbents or primarying them, just vote for the Democrat

 Spending energy, time, volunteers [on primaries] is a zero-sum game when it comes to campaigns. We can not waste our time defending incumbents. As bad as Republicans are, there are a lot of bad Republicans, but there are no good Democrats. So do not primary an incumbent. Do not waste the time and money.

Here.







Ann Coulter goes off the rails, blames the Tea Party for Obamacare

 She forgets that Obamacare was passed in March 2010, months before the "Tea Party" swept the US House in an historic win with the help of Freedom Works & Co.

. . . the Tea Party candidates lost us a lot of races and Senate seats. We would not have Obamacare if it weren't for a lot of the Tea Party candidates running against incumbent candidates. 

Here.


Hello. Republicans won the US House in 2010, and the US Senate in 2014, the year Obamacare went live.

Methinks Ann is jealous that Republicans actually won that 2010 election because of indignation over mortgage bailouts instead of over something else. The Tea Party's origin was in 2009 after all, not 2010.

Recall that Rush Limbaugh blamed the faceless conservative "base", too, when McCain lost. But Ann names names, calling out Trump himself over and over (he has deserved it), Mitch McConnell (perennially), and now the Tea Party. Yeah, the Tea Party got co-opted for sure, but she's rewriting history here because she's pissed so many Trump aligned candidates have won their primaries, believing (hoping?) they will lose in November, you know, like they "lost" in 2010.

Well I sure hope so.


Ann spent years saying Obamacare was the number one issue before coming to prioritize immigration, maintaining as she did that illegal aliens were the number one beneficiaries of Obamacare. Now she blames everyone else for saying so, too.

Her irrational outbursts and ad hominem arguments are her own best case for repeal of the 19th Amendment.

Make up your mind, woman.
