QUOTATION OF THE DAY: Booker T. Washington.

One hundred thirteen years ago, and still true today.
JOE BIDEN, PROOF OF CLIMATE CHANGE? Study links climate change to a politician’s decline in ‘speech complexity and productivity’.
MIKE ROWE gives us something to stand for.

I'm looking forward to seeing "Something to Stand For" when (if) it comes to my neck of the woods.
NO HORSE SENSE at the Pentagon. It's mostly about the treatment of the horses of the Caisson Platoon, a unit of the Old Guard, whose horses are tasked with pulling the caissons of Herbert Hoover, Franklyn D. Roosevelt, Douglas MacArthur, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, and many, many others to thier final resting place in Arlington Cemetery.

But this stands out:
But as awful as this situation is, there is a deeper issue at stake. The U.S. military can find the resources to fund DEI initiatives and pay for surgeries and hormone therapy for transgender troops. It can waste over $300 million dollars to build an ill-considered and ultimately inoperable humanitarian Gaza Pier, mostly for the sake of a photo op for the Biden Administration. To argue, as Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth did to Congress, that there was a lack of resources available to maintain and care for the 64 horses that perform one of our nation’s most treasured ceremonies for our fallen heroes is to admit that we have a military led by those whose priorities are too distorted and twisted to be entrusted with our nation’s security.
I blame the Biden administration.
I THINK IT'S SATIRE: White House asks migrants to hold off on raping and murdering any more Americans until after election.

Sometimes unintended consequences are a good thing....
RFK JR. IS RIGHT — https://instapundit.com/653976/paper ballots will restore faith in our elections.
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN gets unscientific about homeschools.

I used to subscribe when it was still 'scientific', but that was long, long ago....

THE RESISTANCE to a new Trump administration has already started.
A sprawling network of Democratic officials, progressive activists, watchdog groups and ex-Republicans has been taking extraordinary steps to prepare for a potential second Trump presidency, drawn together by the fear that Mr. Trump’s return to power would pose a grave threat not just to their agenda but to American democracy itself.
Corrected.
