Maame Djondo didn’t misspell a single word during Saturday’s Knights of Columbus spelling bee. And it’s a good thing too, because a single word is all she got. In fact, Djondo’s word — “cancel” — was the only word spelled on Saturday morning, as she was the only participant in the event. Once drawing as many as a dozen students, Lansing Knights of Columbus #3450 has hosted a spelling bee for decades, drawing local spellers in grades 5–8. However, the pandemic, combined with the closure of St. Ann School, has resulted in a lower turnout in recent years, said organizers. Last year’s bee drew three participants

There’s the Right Stuff and the Woke Stuff. NASA no longer has the right stuff, so all it’s got is the DEI stuff. Remember this?
In July 2010, NASA chief Charles Bolden, an Obama appointee, told Al Jazeera that his boss had given him three priorities… “to reach out to the Muslim world… to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering.” [SNIP] Now the four-person crew for the “virtual” mission to Mars has been unveiled and they carefully screened out the white people.
A North Carolina high school student was charged after he allegedly slapped his teacher multiple times during a viral profanity-laced classroom rant earlier this week.
The rage-filled youngster, identified only as a minor, confronted the educator inside Parkland High School in Winston-Salem, where he violently attacked her, according to video posted to social media.
After the initial impact, the teacher seemed unfazed by the slap as the student continued to run his mouth.
Do you think that affected me anyway,” the unidentified teacher said, sitting back in her chair, legs crossed.
“Want me to hit you again,” the juvenile asked as he menacingly approached the teacher.
A federal appeals court on Tuesday overturned a West Virginia law that prohibits male athletes from competing in women’s sports in the state, arguing that it violates Title IX, the federal law barring sex-based discrimination in schools.
In a 2-1 ruling, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals allowed transgender-identifying males to participate on women’s sports teams in the state.
This was one of several pending lawsuits addressing the issue of male participation in women’s sports, with both sides laying claim to Title IX to support their cases.

The Senate moved Wednesday to put a premature end to the impeachment trial of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, which would make him the second Cabinet official in history to evade a conviction and removal from office — but the first to be acquitted without evidence being presented of his alleged “high crimes and misdemeanors.”
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) convened the upper chamber in the early afternoon to swear in the 51 Democrats or independents who caucus with them and 49 Republicans as jurors, before offering a motion to dismiss the first of the charges without a trial.
The unprecedented move set off a series of objections from Republicans,
At a certain point after following politics closely, you move away from reacting to events and begin to focus on proactively predicting events. (snip)Let there be absolutely no doubt, removing Johnson right now is giving the speaker gavel to Democrats. This Machiavellian way to remove Donald Trump has always appeared to be the Deep State insurance policy.(snip)If the Democrats take control of the House, disqualifying Donald Trump from federal office will be the purpose of their first legislative act. They already hold the Senate. They will do this. Thomas Massie knows this.
So, ask yourself, who exactly is controlling the action of Thomas Massie;

Soon the government might shut down your car.
President Joe Biden's new infrastructure gives bureaucrats that power.
You probably didn't hear about that because when media covered it, few mentioned the requirement that by 2026, every American car must "monitor" the driver, determine if he is impaired and, if so, "limit vehicle operation."
Rep. Thomas Massie objected, complaining that the law makes government "judge, jury and executioner on such a fundamental right!"
Congress approved the law anyway.
A USA Today "fact check" told readers, don't worry, "There's no kill switch in Biden's bill."
(Snip) The clause is buried under Section 24220 of the law.

New York City has issued a health alert over the rise of rat-borne disease.
Cases of leptospirosis among people soared to its highest level in 2023, which is spread through contact with rat urine or feces.
In 2023 there were 24 cases reported in the city, which is eight times higher than total cases in the previous two decades.So far in 2024, there have been six cases.
'Not only are rodents unsightly and can traumatize your day, but they're a real health-related crises,' said Mayor Eric Adams.
It's hard to blame Donald Trump (aka Dozy Don) for apparently nodding off during the first day of his 'hush money' trial in New York on Monday.
Yes, it's the first ever criminal trial of a former U.S. president and he's also the only leading presidential candidate ever to face criminal proceedings. Add to that the chance he could go to jail if he's found guilty and you might expect Trump to be paying close attention.
But the early stages of the trial have been dominated by arcane legal arguments about procedural points and the interminable process of choosing a jury, now an unavoidable feature of American justice.
Former attorney to Donald Trump, John Eastman, alleged that both Bank of America and USAA have debanked him, closing his accounts in the aftermath of his involvement in advising Trump around the 2020 election.
According to an exclusive report by the Daily Caller, in September 2023, Bank of America sent a letter to Eastman informing him of the closure of his bank accounts. Following this, USAA, two months later, notified Eastman of the closure of his accounts with the company. USAA cited its Depository Agreement as the basis for its decision, citing its right to ”no longer do banking business” with customers.
Joe Biden on Wednesday stopped to chat with reporters on the tarmac as he was departing Scranton, Pennsylvania.
Biden told a dubious story about how his grandfather (or uncle?) Ambrose Finnegan (Jr.?) was hot down in an area where there were a lot of cannibals.
“Ambrose Finnegan, we called him Uncle Bosey – he was shot down, he was Army Air Corps before there was an Air Force. He flew a single-engine plane, reconnaissance flights over New Guinea and he volunteered when someone couldn’t make it and he got shot down in an area where there were a lot of cannibals…” Biden said.
