You need to trim this shit down to bullet points. Much of your content in your posts are good. But no one is going to read a post like this.WestlinnDuck said:A rare moment of sanity. If you want to be "prestigious" then that should mean that some degree of prestige accrues to you as a result of receiving a superior education. We will see how long MIT can avoid the woke crowd. If you have a "journalism" degree from anywhere and you don't have some skill in math and science and history, then your degree is not "prestigious". Having an MD used to be prestigious, but the medical profession threw any such pretense away to virtue signal.

In A Humane Move For Unqualified Applicants, MIT Is Reinstating SAT/ACT Requirement
To MIT’s credit, it is not possible to get an MIT degree simply by writing about your feelings or engaging in class discussions about your traumas and victim status.
To MIT’s discredit, they used Covid as an excuse to ditch the requirement for standardized admissions tests.
Removing the SAT/ACT requirement opened the door for unqualified applicants to be admitted, and unsurprisingly, they couldn’t handle the rigorous academic expectations.
So now MIT is having to bring back standardized admissions testing.
We are reinstating our SAT/ACT requirement for future admissions cycles [MIT Admissions – 3/28/2022]
After careful consideration, we have decided to reinstate our SAT/ACT requirement for future admissions cycles.
All MIT students, regardless of intended major, must pass two semesters of calculus, plus two semesters of calculus-based physics, as part of our General Institute Requirements.
Admitting students unqualified to handle advanced math is not just an effort in futility, it’s actually cruel to those unqualified students who were admitted.
In other words, there is no path through MIT that does not rest on a rigorous foundation in mathematics, and we need to be sure our students are ready for that as soon as they arrive.
MIT is one of the very few remaining universities for which a degree means the graduate is academically accomplished and could not find an easy path to obtain a degree.
As I have previously documented, you can obtain a degree from the “prestigious” University of Texas School of Journalism without having to take a single course in math or science. It is regrettable for those who work to obtain degrees in the hard sciences at schools like Texas, that at the very same time, their universities are behaving like diploma mills for those who can’t even pass freshman science or math.
I’ve no doubt that MIT will ultimately surrender its standards to please the Critical Race Theory agitators, but for now, MIT bringing back standardized tests is a bold and welcome action.
Pare it down.

Biden's Rollback of Trump-Era EPA Rule Will Add Years to Some Projects and Double Costs
BY RICK MORAN APR 19, 2022 11:45 AM ET
Trump changed rules governing the implementation of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The changes were designed to substantially speed up the permitting process — and they did.
Now it’s the Democrats’ turn to change the rules. In addition to slowing down construction on regular infrastructure projects like roads and bridges, the changes to NEPA made by the Biden administration will also affect other projects — specifically power-related projects crucial to America’s energy independence.
The White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) is finalizing its “phase 1” changes to NEPA, and what’s emerging is worse than feared.
In its 2020 NEPA regulatory rewrite, the Trump administration got rid of explicit requirements to consider an action’s “indirect” effects — those that happen later on or further removed, but are still reasonably foreseeable.
It also got rid of the explicit requirement to consider its “cumulative” effects, which refers to how a project’s pollution may interact with other pollution sources to make some areas particularly polluted.
Critics raised concerns about the impact of this change on communities that already face disproportionate pollution burdens and argued it could hinder the government’s ability to consider the effects of climate change.
How about the impact on communities that would benefit hugely from a local infrastructure project? Too bad for them. The rule changes Biden has in mind would slow many projects to a snail’s pace. Instead of taking a few months for a review of a project’s environmental impact, it will now take up to four and a half years for the review to be complete.
The administration also said that it would establish that the NEPA regulations are “a floor, rather than a ceiling,” when it comes to standards for environmental reviews.
NEPA is a more than 50-year-old law that requires the government to consider environmental and community concerns before it approves various types of infrastructure projects, which can also include airports and buildings.
Many industries have pushed for its requirements to be loosened, noting that environmental reviews can take years and slow projects down.
That doesn’t matter to the hysterical greens who see the end of the world with every shovelful of dirt. -
Biden was born in 1942. The price of a gallon of gas in 1943 was .21. Between 1943 and 1960 gas never rose to over .31 a gallon and in inflation adjusted dollars the price of gas actually dropped from $2.30 in 1943 to $1.95 in 1960. Like Dazzler, Biden is a pathological lying piece of shit.PurpleThrobber said:

SALEM, Ore. — Oregon's redistricting maps have been approved, but the Princeton Gerrymandering Project — a team of academics and legal analysts at Princeton University — gave the state a failing grade for partisan fairness.
On February 7, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court issued its full majority opinion in Pennsylvania’s redistricting lawsuit – League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania et al., v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania et al.
In addition to the majority opinion written by Justice Debra Todd and joined by Justices Donohue, Dougherty, and Wecht, the Court issued a concurring and dissenting opinion from Justice Max Baer, as well as two dissenting opinions from Chief Justice Thomas Saylor (joined by Justice Sallie Mundy) and Justice Mundy.
In the majority opinion, the Court detailed the reasoning behind its January 22 order stating that, “[a]n election corrupted by extensive, sophisticated gerrymandering and partisan dilution of votes is not ‘free and equal’.” -
As predicted Trump won't let go which opens the race up. I understand why he won't but voters will have moved on. Maybe the gutless wonders will secure the next election maybe not

If he limited his response to the mail in ballots, the drop boxes, and the changes of voting rules in violation of state law he'd be fine. But he can't and he isn't articulate enough to make his case coherently. I agree with whoever said that without Trump there is no Ron D. but Trump will not get us to where we need to go. DeSantis gets it and knows how to use his power to get shit done. Trump loves to get into these pissing matches with the media, and it's sometime entertaining to watch but where does it get us in the end?RaceBannon said:As predicted Trump won't let go which opens the race up.

Trump went full retard and unmasked the whole establishment, Ron is able to exploit all their crazy.
I hated him at first, and was exhausted during his presidency but in hindsight Trump was right about most everything and was able to destroy the greatest threat to the world, the establishment.
Problem is we have no idea where this implosion is going, all we know is corporate media is wrecked, the fed is wrecked, cdc/fda is wrecked, intelligence community is wrecked, and this seems to be happening in most countries globally, what a time to be alive. -
We don't need 2024 turning into a rehash of 2020. That's a loser. The DIMS cheated and got away with it. Making sure it doesn't happen in 2024 by having GOP pole sitters in every nook and cranny, lawyers ready to roll on a moments notice.
A strong candidate like RDS will attract the Trump voters, Independents and the crush of DIMS growing weary of the radical leftists controlling their party. They only way to rid their party of this scourge is to defeat them. Then go back when the party moderates.
I predict that RDS will be our next POTUS. He will be able to attract quality cabinet members and knows which Fed Depts. need housecleaning and where to start. And he will do it despite being called a homophobe, racist, nazi, fascist, xenophobe, transphobe and child murderer by our Corrupt Media and the DIM party. -

I would expect the same obstruction and hysteria for Ron that greeted Trump
Without the support of congress he'll struggle to do anything. And the GOP sucks -
