Black Male Teachers Should be the Norm, Not the Exception
cmaadmin, Diverse - 11 hours ago
Our education system, as we know it, is systematically racist. How did we get here? We haven’t been thinking about what is best for kids. Kids perform better in school when they are with teachers of the same race or ethnicity. There are approximately 8 million (15%) Black students in America’s public schools, yet only 7% of teachers are Black. By not providing enough teachers of color for our students we are exacerbating a form of racism in the field; we don’t take that seriously enough.

Why Some Americans Never Got a Stimulus Check
Stephen Silver, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Stephen Silver* *Missing Stimulus Check, * Some Americans have fallen through the cracks--including at least 2 million citizens in California, according to a recent study. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *California, meanwhile, is a rare state that is offering their own stimulus check. The Golden State Stimulus, signed into law in February by Gov. Gavin Newsom, confers a one-time payment of $600 or $1,200 to eligible recipients, in order to “support low-income Californians” and “help those facing a hardship due to COVID-19.” The American Rescue Plan, passed by Congress in Mar...

*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Fourth or Fifth Stimulus Check, * [image: $1.9 Trillion Dollar Stimulus] There is no doubt that Biden understands why there is that reluctance to send out more stimulus funds, but he also appears to be fully aware of the financial pain that many Americans are still enduring. And recent studies and polls are making this even harder to ignore. Over the past couple of months, more than one hundred sixty million coronavirus stimulus checks—valued at $384 billion—have been disbursed to cash-strapped U.S. taxpayers under the American Rescue Plan.

Of optics, exit pupil size and the real world
Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 10 hours ago
I had an interesting discussion with an acquaintance recently concerning binoculars, telescopic sights for rifles, and how his (and my) aging eyes affected our ability to make the best use of our optics. He'd never gone into the notion of "exit pupil" size, and wasn't aware of how it should condition our optics choices: so I thought some of my readers might benefit from a brief discussion.

Check your investments for DIE
Norma, Collecting My Thoughts - 11 hours ago
I've suggested that if you have a pension or private investments, you take a look at the Annual Reports to see what the DIE (diversity inclusion equity) statements are. Comcast makes this extremely difficult to find. The annual report was a filing statement, so I went back to the proxy and found it in the 2021 summary. Comcast has way overcompensated for diversity, with 44% people of color among employees. (Can't tell if those are management or line.) 30% are women on the board, 30% POC.

A number of indicators certainly pointed in that direction. Signing the agree...

In 1971, India Proved to Pakistan That Its MiG-21 Fighters are Killers
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *India, Pakistan, Eurasia* The showdown between the two aircraft was long anticipated as the F-104 and MiG-21 in many ways were rival designs. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *After the 1971 war, the MiG-21 would continue to serve in the IAF, although it did not see much further air combat. In 1999 an IAF MiG-21Bis shot down a Pakistani Navy Anti-Submarine Warfare aircraft, creating a minor incident. In 1971 the first supersonic air combat over the Indian subcontinent was fought. Indian Air Force (IAF) MiG-21FLs squared off against Pakistan Air Force (PAF) F-104...
Stimulus Check Update: See This Picture? Billions in Stimulus Went Here
Stephen Silver, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Stephen Silver* *Stimulus Check, * [image: Stimulus Check Gambling] According to Forbes, casinos in the state of Nevada raked in $1 billion in the month of March, its biggest month in eight years. Ever since Americans began receiving their stimulus checks from the American Rescue Plan, they’ve spent a lot of that money- enough to cause retail sales to surge in March, and the gross national product to rise significantly in the first quarter. Surveys have shown that more Americans are spending their stimulus money on household bills than anything else, but there are indications t...
The 5 Greatest Strategic Victories in U.S. Military History
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *U.S. Military, World* The greatest American military victories have depended on careful, long-range planning, the organization of assets and commitment to overwhelming the enemy. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Success in modern warfare depends on much more than deeds of heroic valor. Is there an American way of war? The question evokes deep controversy, not least because for a very long time, Americans considered themselves an exceptionally peaceful nation. Even into the twentieth century, American presidents boasted about the nation’s aversion to war and defen...

No Tax Refund Yet from the IRS? Here Is What You Need To Do.
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Tax Refund, * Here's how to ensure that you receive the money you rightfully earned. A tax refund isn’t really extra money – even if a lot of people treat it that way. Rather it is an “overpayment,” meaning you paid ahead and now are getting it back. For many, waiting for the refund can be frustrating, but this year with the rising costs of everything from groceries to gasoline, that refund can be a lifeline. As of April 16, the Internal Revenue Series (IRS) has received more than 110 million tax returns and has already issued $210 billion in refunds. However, th...
Countering China’s Global Great Game
Michael Sobolik, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Michael Sobolik* *China, Asia* Washington’s instinctual response to compete with the Belt and Road Initiative dollar-for-dollar is a losing proposition that plays into China’s long game. But with an offensive framework, American policymakers could turn the tables and transform the BRI into an albatross for the Communist Party. THE RELATIONSHIP between the United States and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) changed more in 2020 than in the past forty years. Cooperation and “win-win outcomes” rapidly devolved into confrontation and “wolf warrior diplomacy.” Preexisting dispute...

Foreign interference in Myanmar
Bruce K. Gagnon, Organizing Notes - 14 hours ago
The Western media is trying to convince global audiences that organic, self-organized protests are rising up against Myanmar’s central government. However, evidence reveals that ongoing protests as well as armed ethnic insurgencies are the work of US and British interference - including the funding, arming, and training of armed militants. This is evidence taken not from Myanmar’s central government - but from US-backed groups themselves and media networks the US has funded for years.
