[Daily Mail] A high-performing primary school has missed out on Ofsted’s top grade after being judged too English. Pupils at the rural primary lacked ‘first-hand experience of the diverse make-up of modern British society’, declared the watchdog. However, around 97 per cent of the population in the town to which the school belongs are white. Rural schools, how 1950's. Everyone knows consolidated school districts and long Blue Bird bus rides are the key to better education. Excellence must never be rewarded in a truly progressive society. Someone will feel left out or discriminated against.
"Frank Fukuyama, no howling partisan, has tagged President Obama's decision to circumvent Congress on immigration as a "bad call," and while the President's limited offer of a three-year temporary work authorization for people in the country illegally was not the worst or the most radical step he could have taken, Frank is right. This was the wrong step at the wrong time. At the very minimum, the President should have given the new Congress ninety days to act before going it alone. Failing to do so isn't just a slap in the face of his Republican opponents; it is a slap in the face of the voters who no longer trust the President and his party on the big issues of national life."

the American hard left believed that the new immigrants would lead American society away from the antiquated individualism of earlier generations into the brave new world of socialist collectivism they saw rising in the future.
This has worked out so well in the rest of the world (sarc). How many died as the result of these misbegotten notions? What was it 100,000,000 and still counting?
Why anyone would embrace this failed, dangerous ideology is baffling.
Wait until he releases the last 142 from GITMO, gives the base to the Cubans. Air Force One lands in Havana, Champ declares normalization of relations with Castro.
Castro immediately turns the base into a Cuban 'Anti-Yanki holocaust museum.' It's the least the Champ could do.

Seriously? They believe this of people who leave villages in poorly functioning nations so they can come to America and by hard work over long hours accomplish the American dream as they could not back home? Wow.

He hasn't miscalculated a thing, he knows no one has effectively resisted any of his moves since he came into office. He has E.O. in his tool box and can do anything he wants. Sue him and he will be out of office if, anything is declared null or void, big deal he has but 790 days left in office.
[Ynet] PA has returned to the days of pretend condemnation statements, doublespeak and encouragement of terror. Israel must deal with this situation just like it dealt with it then.
Once again, Israel's governmental system is responding rather than initiating, defending itself rather than attacking, explaining rather than acting, as if it is made up of commentators rather than of people who are supposed to shape the situation.
It's as if we are on the weak side, as if we are guests, rather than the controlling and sovereign side in our capital. Praying that perhaps the events will be "contained" and pass.
We are no longer talking about "deterrence." We have completely forgotten to talk about "tilting the balance." The security people on the ground are very well aware of how they should act, but the instructions are failing to arrive from above.
And so, for internal Paleostinian reasons ‐ the eternal hostility between Fatah and Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,, always the voice of sweet reason,, which is reaching new heights ‐ the two movements are finding it convenient to direct the attention here and in globally towards Jerusalem, which is under Israeli illusory illusory sovereignty. That way, they are also bringing their issue to the world's attention again, without paying any price, as Area A is calm and so is the Gazoo Strip.
This intolerable situation must end. Both the Paleostinian Authority, which has become a terror authority, and Hamas, which is a terror organization, have to start paying a price. If there is no calm in Jerusalem, there will be no clam in Ramallah and Gazoo either.
Israel is supporting and feeding these invented entities. It's time to restrict the entry of goods and reduce the number of laborers arriving in Israel, bring back the roadblocks and dissect the area in terms of government. Shut down propaganda means or limit them, as well as the freedom of movements on the routes.
Yasser Arafat is back, and just like with dealt with this entity during the Arafat era, we need to deal with it now.
US Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry
Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State...
is asking PA Chairman the ineffectual the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial...
to condemn terror. Abbas releases a sort of euphemistic statement through his spokespeople, and Kerry calls to thank him, without realizing that he is mocking him and the truce agreements he formed in Amman.
We are back to the days of Arafat and his pretend condemnation statements, the doublespeak and the encouragement of terror. In the 1990s and 2000s it took Israel's security elite a few years to realize the change in the situation, and that is exactly what is happening now. It might be a good idea to replace some few people at the top.
Israel's Arabs should also realize that rioting carries a price. There is no reason for villages like Jabel Mukaber to be part of Israel's capital, with all the huge financial benefits it involves. Villages which were mistakenly annexed will become part of the Judea and Samaria territories without a problem. The people who live there are anyway residents, not citizens.
In the meantime, the identity card of an Israeli resident will be different from the identity card of an Israeli citizen, and that will apply to non-Arab residents as well. The fate of a citizen is not the same as the fate of temporary resident. The situation in which they have the best of both words must end.
The dreamers and delusionists must realize that the more Israel thrives and prospers, the more the Arab hostility will grow, and this will also be the situation in 100 years from now, even at the cost of a self Arab collapse every now and then.
The only trick to break this prosperity, and the strong Jewish existence here, is the "Paleostinian state." Reaching an independent offensive-territory, taking in two to three million jihadists from Syria, Iraq and Leb, and then defeating Israel. Only a naïve, stupid or funded person is incapable of understanding that.
Jerry Pournelle explains. Not sure I agree with everything he says but he's in his usual superb form. Bonus presentation on women in combat.

It's the same story we hear every generation. As a result each is followed by another wave of illegals, bigger than the one before. We SAY we're going to change things and this one will be the last, but we never do change them. That must mean we really don't want to change them - we prefer having cheap labor and ready scapegoats. (And voters.)
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
