The sound of Northern Nigerian Christian’s worshiping Jesus through the murderous persecution.

It doesn’t matter who you vote for, the borderless utopianists will not stop until there isn’t a single British person left in our country.
Mass migration has turned our home from a green and pleasant land into a cheap and dangerous airport hotel.
Treason.

J’adore ces immigrés qui répètent que leur pays d’origine est le plus beau du monde, mais crient au crime contre l’humanité dès qu’on envisage de les y renvoyer

Orwell's great observation in "Nineteen Eighty-Four" was that to shrink a person's vocabulary is to shrink his capacity to think.
An impoverished version of English removes the mental tools needed to formulate and communicate complex (and dissenting) ideas. Such is the deep, complex relationship between language and thought.
We don't read "difficult books" to say that we've read difficult books. We read them because they expand the boundaries of what we are capable of thinking and feeling — we ascend to their level. Vocabulary helps us to recognize truths otherwise beyond our grasp.
This revelation is worse than you may think. This must be reversed.
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.

A book for sale in a UK museum 🤨
They are rewriting our history.
Nearly three years later, I had a chance to actually look in the book since it is now being sold in a museum in Devon!
Many lies in here. DNA shows "11% of people in Roman York were black" - there are literally NO confirmed black samples from Roman York! They just made that up!
Early European Farmers in Britain had "dark brown skin" - No.
The page depicting Tudor England is a joke!

💰 Hillingdon Council paid £87,141 EVERY DAY to recruitment agencies last year.
That’s roughly:
💷 £611,661 a week
💷 £2,650,530 a month

Just one London borough.

Good Friday 𝕏🌍
When I was younger, I delivered packages, and one thing you always had to worry about was running into someone's dog. You never knew if you were going to get a friendly greeting or have to make a run for the truck. 🤯
But every once in a while, you'd get an encounter like this one. Those were always the good ones.
Anybody who's ever delivered packages knows exactly what I'm talking about.🤣
