I can always count on the President of the American Federation of Teachers, Randi Weingarten, to say something or tweet something ridiculous any given week. They say tyrants get more erratic and dangerous when they realize their power is starting to slip. It looks as though Randi is feeling her influence slip through her tightening fist. She recently testified to Congress about her role in the school closures during COVID and her direct line of influence on former CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, in which she attempted to retell history to paint herself as a...

I went to what was considered one of the best public schools in Minnesota. However, I rarely had teachers show up to class, and the ones that did often phoned in their jobs by doing what I used to call “teaching from the VCR” (for my younger readers, that was a machine hooked up to a television that would play movies if you inserted what was called a tape into it).

Max Miller is a proud, self-described history enthusiast, even though he’s quick to admit that he’s not a professional historian with extensive academic credentials. Instead, he’s more of a freelance nerd, who spends his time reading pretty much anything he can get his hands on about historic recipes. “I don’t have formal training,” he says. “It’s just a passion, I love history. I took a lot of history classes in college and I’ve been devouring history books and documentaries since I was a little kid.” In February 2020, just before the COVID-19 pandemic forced...

Egyptian experts have criticized Netflix for “blackwashing” its upcoming docu-series about Queen Cleopatra VII. Now, they’re taking action to see that the show never airs — by banning the streaming giant from the country completely. “African Queens: Queen Cleopatra” is narrated and executive produced by Jada Pinkett Smith, 51, and stars Adele James, 27, who is biracial, as the legendary queen of Egypt, whose specific race has long been the subject of historical dispute. Pinkett Smith previously explained that she wanted to be involved in the project because she “really wanted to represent Black...

“SVB had the golden jewel of Silicon Valley tech community as clients, and that is an attractive customer case to go after,” Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives, who covers tech, told me. Raleigh, N.C.-based First Citizens BancShares Inc. apparently saw that opportunity. It announced on Monday an agreement to purchase Silicon Valley Bank’s deposits and loans from the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Earlier this month, the FDIC took over SVB after a bank run resulted in its collapse. The FDIC said on Sunday it will retain about $90 billion of SVB’s $167 billion...

The law, which is titled the Women’s Bill of Rights, was passed by legislators this week and automatically was met with the outcry of tears and outrage by Democrats who called it “equally offensive”...
