CATHOLIC SCHOOLS: According to the latest data, public school students lost 10 points in math and 6 points in reading during the pandemic. Meanwhile, Catholic school students had no change in key test scores.
CORRUPTION: On Friday, Attorney General Merrick Garland denied the allegation IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley made before the House Oversight Committee that Biden-appointed D.C. U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves had prevented U.S. Attorney David Weiss from filing charges against Hunter Biden for crimes he had committed in 2014 and 2015.
Hours later, Shapley’s legal team went public with the names of three of the six witnesses besides IRS Assistant Special Agent in Charge Gary Shapley – i.e., Baltimore FBI Special Agent in Charge Tom Sobocinski, Assistant Special Agent in Charge Ryeshia Holley, and Special Agent in Charge Darrell Waldon. These people have each corroborated Mr. Shapley’s account
LOSING THE CULTURE WAR: Belmont University in Nashville, TN, bills itself as a “persuasive and attractive” Christian school. They recently canceled an on-campus Promise Keepers event over the group’s blog post affirming:
- That true life and joy is found when we reject sin. (“We know that our old self was crucified with Him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.” – Romans 6:6)
- That gender ideology is an idol of our culture and that, as sin, it is poisonous. (“There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.” – Prov. 14:12; see also Deuteronomy 29:18-19)
- That marriage is designed by God to be for one man and one woman. (Mark 10:6-9)
- That Jesus, the Son of God, will forgive our sins if we repent. (“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” – 1 John 1:9)
- That the path of following Jesus Christ is difficult and countercultural, but it is the path of LIFE. (“You will make known to me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; in Your right hand there are pleasures forever.” – Psalm 16:11; see 2 John 1:6-9)
St. Philip’s College in San Antonio, Texas, is a historically black college that was founded by an Episcopal Bishop in 1898 to educate and train recently emancipated slaves. One of its biology professors has reportedly been fired for teaching his students that sex is determined by X and Y chromosomes. Dr. Varkey has taught this same biological fact to more than 1,500 students for the past 22 years. First Liberty Institute, a law firm that defends religious liberty for Americans, is representing Varkey in his effort to be reinstated.
Texas Christian University (TCU) in Fort Worth, Texas, was founded in 1873 by the Disciples of Christ (D.O.C.) church and continues to identify itself as a Christian school. As part of its “nuanced” approach to Christian education, it offers a course titled, “The Queer Art of Drag,” which was taught by drag performer Nino “Maria von Clapp” Testa. In the class, students explored “drag performance as an outlet for social critique, pedagogy, and queer worldmaking” and the history of the “queer art of drag.” Students were also required to develop their own drag personas, which they debuted at TCU’s Annual Night of Drag. The school’s website has an entire page devoted to Pride Month.

PANDERING: Last week, Budweiser tweeted, “Introducing the Limited-Edition Camo Bottles—made to celebrate 13 years of partnership with @FoldsofHonor. Raise one to our military veterans.”
How about, instead of supporting the Belgian multinational that owns Anheuser-Busch, donate your beer money directly to Folds of Honor. The charity, which provides scholarships to families of America’s fallen or disabled military and first responders, has a four star rating with Charity Navigator.

PRIDE: “If you’re going to paint yourself, walk around naked, and play in a public fountain, I question your level of sanity. But when you do it in front of kids, without pause, I think you should be placed on a watch list.” – Dennis Michael Lynch
SLEEP APNEA: Snoring recording … the girls and I videotaped him. It had zero impact. The night he woke me one too many times and I realized I seriously wanted to jump on his chest and choke the life out of him, I insisted on separate bedrooms. Funerals are expensive and then there’d be the whole prison thing.
Finally, he got A-Fib, which led to a sleep study and a lecture about sleep apnea and heart attacks, which led to him getting a CPAP that he tended to not wear so much.
Then he started getting dizzy spells, which led to an MRI that found he’d been having mini-strokes, a repeat lecture about sleep apnea with addition of stroke risk, and now he finally wears it all night.
Sleep apnea is dangerous. Don’t ignore it.
SYSTEMIC RACISM: Buffalo Bills player Jordan Poyer tried to host a charity golf event in South Florida to raise funds for the non-profit ECMC hospital in Buffalo, New York. He’s been forced to cancel it because a bunch of Wrongs pressured players and sponsors to back out, due to the venue being owned by a certain former POTUS. If athletes and sponsors pulled out of an event because it was associated with Barack Obama, they would be canceled for life.
UGANDA: State-affiliated Muslim terrorists stormed into a Christian academy and slaughtered 41 people, including 37 children. The boys were locked inside their dormitory and burned alive. Six more children were kidnapped.
GRAMMY NOTES: CLICK https://twitter.com/TpostMillennial/status/1673034216366555136 [:25] to see the Scouts proudly waving PRIDE flags as they lead the Seattle PRIDE march. I am so grateful that the Mascots are in Trail Life and American Heritage Girls, not the Boy Scouts and Girls Scouts!
SHORTS: Watch both of these all the way to the end for the LOLz.
