I am speechless. Thomas Aquinas College just dropped a study on the rigor of the new SAT. It compares the 1980/87 test with 2026. The findings should terrify every parent and teacher... Vocabulary has collapsed. Old SAT: 70.6% of questions tested vocab. New SAT: 15%. The old test forced students to know a wide range of words through analogies, antonyms, and sentence completions. The new test abandoned that. Most vocab questions now just ask students to fill in one blank from context. Reading passages also got radically shorter (average ~97 words vs 300–340). The new test uses short expository passages and hands you the necessary background knowledge inside the text. The older tests leaned much more heavily on argumentative and persuasive writing, assumed far more historical, scientific, and cultural knowledge, and penalized students who lacked it. This is a redefinition of what "college readiness" means. If you believe that kids should develop rigorous vocabulary, be capable of sustained reading, and possess background knowledge, I have bad news for you. The SAT no longer measures these. If you want a future where children can actually read difficult texts and construct complex arguments, the SAT must be replaced now. This cannot go on.
We were concerned that the SAT has become a less reliable measure of student preparedness for a rigorous college curriculum. So, we commissioned a study from Johns Hopkins University. What does this study tell us about the state of higher education? The results are shocking. thaq.co/4iLThZ0

I fully believe Bari Weiss when she says she doesn't care about collapsing ratings. The only reason to care about ratings is profit, and that's not why Larry Ellison, at the age of 82, suddenly went on a frantic shopping spree to purchase Hollywood's studios (Paramount and Warner Bros), news outlets (CBS, CNN), and social media (TikTok). Ellison is the second-richest man on earth. He is not motivated by money-making in the last stage of his life. He bought all these news and entertainment outlets to turn them into Israeli State TV, to try to stem the rising disgust Americans harbor for Israel. Ellison is one of Netanyahu's best friends. He's the single-largest donor to Friends of the IDF. His only political cause is Israel. All the key people he and his son hired as Israel loyalists. So Bari Weiss is telling the truth: her job isn't to increase ratings but to convert CBS into Zionist propaganda.
During her on-stage interview, according to the article, Bari Weiss dismissed concerns about weak ratings at 60 Minutes by saying: “I could never build anything if I were focused on the precise number of people that happen to tune in to the second feature on 60 Minutes on a given Sunday.” theinformation.com/articles/…

Trump is reportedly planning to restart war with Iran after the election. Some of us have been briefed on the war plan. And while I cannot disclose any details, I can say this: the plan is insane. It will not achieve objectives and will set off a new cycle of escalation.

Peaceful immigration depends on assimilation. Newcomers who adopt the host country’s language, laws & core values build the shared trust that prevents parallel societies & tribal flare ups. The melting pot successes of history prove the point: alignment breeds cohesion & its absence breeds division, crime & breakdown. Now, across Europe, the young, highly skilled & successful citizens best positioned to reverse these trends are telling you it’s a lost cause for they are leaving their native lands & with them goes any capacity to enforce assimilation or repair the mortal damage its absence has done. @thatsKAIZEN "You can't fix a problem that you're ashamed to name."

If the past few years have taught us anything, it’s that the so-called “conspiracy theorists” who were written off as kooks are often the ones actually telling the truth. We’re putting these theories to the ultimate test. Watch Shadow Figures coming to TCN November 5.

We finally have HARD PROOF: Democrats gave “$6 billion to a conglomerate of United Nations agencies and over 200 NGOs” to facilitate the illegal immigration invasion of America CONFIRMED: It was the United Nations who tried to take down America with the Democrat regime Mike Howell “I currently serve as the executive director of the Oversight Projects and previously was at DHS and on Capitol Hill conducting oversight of immigration matters. The United States of America is still reeling from the worst border invasion in its history.” “This invasion could not have been accomplished without a colossal partnership with the NGO community. Simply put, the government just did not have the capacity to get this many people in and around the country without the support of the nonprofits. And to that end, they gave them almost $6 billion to a conglomerate of UN agencies and over 200 NGOs to do just that” “The Oversight Project has led the way in exposing what I call this border industrial complex — We did the first of its kind study where we tracked illegal aliens by their cell phones as they went through these nonprofits at the border. In just a one month period in tracking 30,000 devices, so a very small subset of the 10 million that Biden had crossed the border We found out that the illegals went to nearly EVERY SINGLE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT IN THE UNITED STATES. We proved that every town was indeed a border town.”

There are no mysterious databases. This was laid out in publicly filed declarations. Voter rolls were compared to USCIS immigration, Social Security, and passport records. We are not changing the rules mid-election, we are enforcing them. It’s unlawful for noncitizens to vote.
Anne Bellows, a lawyer for California, said the DOJ relied on 'mysterious database methods' in its bid to block California from counting any mail ballots from more than 20,000 registered voters the ‌Trump administration alleges are noncitizens. Subscribe: reut.rs/3YVLopB

Ngo investigates: I've been able to find out the real identity of the trans violent extremist accused of attacking a @uofutah conservative student after wishing for mass deadly violence. "Amber Grace" is the alias of Robert Jefferson Tulley. He's a Roblox game developer who has worked on many children's gaming projects. He works at @gamefamstudios in Salt Lake City. ngocomment.com
“I think Republicans should be shot in the street.” Video recorded at @uofutah captured an alleged attack by a far-left trans militant who uses the name “Amber Grace.” The victim was a College Republicans member. The trans person, a man, is facing charges of assault and property damage. Far-left groups immediately said that “Amber” was the victim of the attack by being recorded and that he shouldn’t face any legal accountability. The chilling call to leftist violence from the trans militant follows a pro-trans gunman allegedly assassinating Charlie Kirk on an Utah campus.

Diverse just means anti-White and anti-male
I’m proud to have the most talented, hardest-working cabinet in Virginia’s history. They are also the most diverse cabinet Virginia has ever seen. Every single one of our cabinet secretaries were selected because they’re the best of the best in their respective fields. They also bring invaluable perspectives from across the Commonwealth — from Danville, Hampton Roads, Richmond, NOVA, and more. I’m grateful to get to work with these incredibly dedicated, hard-working, and talented cabinet officials to serve the Commonwealth of Virginia. richmond.com/opinion/column/…
