Is a Preemptive Strike in the Offing? Perhaps the most worrisome news of the day is the Iranian threat to launch a massive drone and missile attack against Israel. Up to this time, Iran has worked with considerable effect through its proxies, principally the Houthis in Yemen, Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, and — if it is not too far-fetched to suggest — Iran's increasingly reliable proxy outrider the United States of America under the feckless and incompetent Joe Biden.

'Death to America' Mayor Insists That 'Dearborn is a City of Proud Americans,' Convinces No One The alarming scene that unfolded last Friday in Dearborn, Mich., with Muslim protesters chanting "Death to America," has resulted in some fallout for the city's mayor, Abdullah Hammoud. While Old Joe Biden and his henchmen are happily taking a wrecking ball to the former Land of the Free and Home of the Brave, they don't go around telegraphing their intentions. Their friends in Dearborn were a bit too forthright about what the ultimate goal of the policies that the left and their Islamic allies really are, so reassuring words had to be uttered and the public put back to sleep. Hammoud found, however, that at least some people had been jolted away much too rudely for that to be possible.

Cover-up! ~~~~~~~~~ What Happened to the 6-Year-Old Shooter's Disciplinary File? Yesterday I wrote about the grand jury report which was released in connection with the 2023 shooting of Abby Zwerner, a first grade teacher in Newport News, VA who was shot by one of her 6-year-old students. There's another aspect of this story that I didn't delve into yesterday but I looked into it further today. After the shooting, police searched the school for a disciplinary file belonging to the 6-year-old shooter. There should have been two copies of this file in the school but both had disappeared.

Inflation never went away The government announced Wednesday morning that inflation rose 0.4% in March, part of a 3.5% increase on an annual basis. The rise, which clearly means that inflation is not subsiding, took some big media outlets by surprise. The New York Times said the increase in prices was "unexpectedly sharp." The Washington Post called it "hotter than expected." For months, commentators in some of those outlets had praised President Joe Biden for bringing inflation under control. Some actually urged the president to be more aggressive in claiming credit for it. After Wednesday morning, there was less of that kind of talk. The fact is, inflation has risen slowly but steadily for the last six months. [...] https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/daily-memo/2961865/inflation-never-went-away/

If all of her recommendations seem to be according to a standard template, they'll have little impact. In general, recommenders should say the following: -- who they are (a brief couple of sentences) -- how they interacted with your niece, and for how long and how intensely; -- their honest prediction regarding her motivation and success; -- a strong endorsement of her admission. You might search the U. of Oregon website for the student council, and write to its president to ask for insights on what to emphasize in the letters and whom to address (using an Admissions Officer's name is far better than beginning with "To whom it concerns"). Our VJ member Carmel34 is a high-ranked university official; you might send him a private message.

And with his own descendant, no less. Revolting. "Nothing to see here; move along, please..."

English-only etc.! The rule began in the late '70s. It was lifted far too many years later, certainly in the '80s.

His hair is still aroused.

These people are insane and should be institutionalized.

These details are absolutely stunning. There was gross neglect of what should have been done very early. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Former Assistant Principal Faces Charges Over Teacher Shot by 6-Year-Old At last some sanity is prevailing in the case of Abigail Zwerner, the Richneck Elementary School teacher who was shot by one of her 6-year-old students in January of 2023. Zwerner sued the school district and pointed out that administrators at the school were warned multiple times that a student with a prior history of violence had brought a gun to school, but did nothing about it. The district responded by arguing Zwerner's injuries were covered by Workers' Compensation, essentially arguing that getting shot by a student was just part of the job these days.
