If groups differ at the mean and the margin of selection is far in the right tail of an ability distribution, then defining "equity" as consisting in an approximate parity across groups of their presence among the selected is a statistical fool's errand. No good can come of that. pic.twitter.com/cccKD1pCvI

2015 was different because, shut up you racist!
Democrats strategy on Defund the police flip-flop, say anything. The media will not call them on it.
Vulnerable Democrat Kurt Schrader Says ‘No One’ is Trying to Defund the Police, Despite the Push from Inside His Own Party
“…An exclusive video obtained by Breitbart News shows vulnerable Democrat Rep. Kurt Schrader (OR) saying he does not believe there is still an effort to defund the police — not only in Portland but across the country — after the Democrats have made numerous attempts to do so.
In the video, a questioner asks Schrader about the movement to defund the police. The person said he’s “curious if [Schrader] will denounce efforts to defund the police. Crime is up, I think, almost 533 percent.” Schrader said he is “not for defunding the police at all.”
The questioner asked again if the congressman will “condemn the efforts then, to defund the police.” Then the congressman said, I don’t know if anyone is doing that.” Hearing this, the questioner shot back and asked, “No one?” It appears that Schrader said “no.”
Despite Schrader saying no one is looking to defund the police, last week in Portland, Oregon, the Police Association Executive Director Daryl Turner blew up Democrats for embracing the “Defund the Police movement” after all 50 members of the Portland Police Bureau’s Rapid Response Team resigned. In the statement released on Facebook, he said the resignation highlighted “that the priorities of our elected officials have failed.”
Axios also reported that “Democrats, in private and public, are warning that rising crime — and the old and new progressive calls to defund the police — represent the single biggest threat to their electoral chances in 2022.” In Portland alone, the homicides are up 533 percent, which means the city is on track to have more than 1,000 shootings by the end of this year.
Schrader’s Democrat colleagues in the House of Representatives have even gone as far as to say the police should be defunded, reimagined, or abolished…
…Schrader, who said “no one” is trying to defund the police, also voted in March to “defund the police.” Schrader voted to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2021, with the majority of House Democrats, on an almost party-line vote of 220-212. The Act was described by Republicans as a plan that would engage in “defunding the police.”
Furthermore, in a nonpartisan analysis, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) said that the bill for which Schrader voted would cost more than 18,000 police departments around the country significant funds…”

Results of Biden policy decisions
Imagine if Biden was a Republican. Gas prices would be the lead of every news cycle. They would be discussed nonstop on every cable news program. “Experts” would be brought to explain how bad the Republican policies are and how they effect the average American. Of course, women, children, and minorities would be hardest hit by the escalating gas prices. Republican policies and lawmakers would be called racist for causing the gas prices to go so high. You know the drill.
Media now, meh.
It’s good for global warming, less driving, etc.
Education Secretary doesn’t know how many genders there are. Yes, you read that correctly.
Education Sec. Cardona does not answer ‘how many genders are there?’ during testimony
-
- GOP Rep. Mary Miller asked Sec. Cardona how many genders there are during a hearing before the House Education and Labor Committee, during which the latter refused to respond.
- The Biden administration’s interpretation of gender is likely to influence how the administration changes existing Title IX policies.
Democrat.
This is who they are.

Two tier justice system, one for Democrats, one for Republicans. Can you guess which one is better?
FBI lawyer that lied to judge on FISA warrant will be able to practice law again in August after zero jail time
The Democrat justice bureaucracy understands that sometimes Democrat bureaucrats must lie and cheat so that they can fulfill their missions to destroy Republicans. This is understood as criminality in support of a good cause. So when no one is looking, the criminal is forgiven.
This does not apply to Republicans.
This is the FBI/DOJ and federal court system.
This is the federal government.
Democrats cheat, even against themselves. No reason to question 2020 election results, though.
NYC mayoral primary race thrown into chaos as BOE botches vote count
“…The Democratic primary race for mayor was thrown into chaos Tuesday as the city Board of Elections appeared to have botched the count amid the city’s first ranked-choice election — adding 135,000 pre-election “test” ballots that hadn’t been cleared from a computer.
According to a BOE statement Tuesday night, “it has determined that ballot images used for testing were not cleared from the Election Management System . . .
“The Board apologizes for the error and has taken immediate measures to ensure the most accurate up to date results are reported.”
Preliminary results released earlier in the day showed a total of 941,832 ballots cast for mayor, an increase of more than 140,000 from the 799,827 that were counted on June 22, the day of the primary.
The glaring discrepancy at first went unnoticed until it was flagged by front-runner Eric Adams…”

Don’t Look Now, But Another Lefty CNN Show Is Circling the Drain
“…So, considering that CNN’s raison d’être for the last year was using its news and talk programming to lie about President Trump – remember when Tapper won a major press award for regurgitating leaked fake news about Russia! Russia! Russia! – is it any wonder people thought, well, gee, this is BS and bailed out of watching?
Even if you loved or hated seeing them bash President Trump, what was the point in watching once the colorful and effective president was gone?
Fox News reported that Tapper’s politics interfere with what he has touted as his evenhanded news coverage. Tapper was a Democrat congressional staffer and worked for an anti-second amendment group before jumping to journalism…”
