The difference between promise and delivery for technology in the classroom today is causing teachers to have to span an impossibly wide gap. Two years ago Superintendents were asked to […]
The above “shared memory” appeared recently on my Facebook feed. It was a meme I shared in 2015. (I am a bit concerned about FB’s math…it wasn’t 3 years ago…it’s […]
Yesterday, I predicted the NFL would suffer a season-shortening labor dispute this season or next. The reason: President Trump’s pressure on owners to crack down on anthem haters will stir up a fight between NFL Players Association and the owners. As if on cue: President Trump, in an exclusive interview with “Fox & […]
Blowout. Embarrassment. Lopsided. Laugher. Humiliation. Fans are doing to the NFL what Ray Rice did to his girlfriend in that elevator. Bars are banning football. The VFW has condemned the NFL. Fans are burning jerseys. American Sniper’s widow livid. Viewership is down 11% year-over-year. Fans boo players they recognize. Baltimore fans demanding Ray Lewis statue […]

Jack Kemp is on the top of my wall of heroes. Literally. An autographed Kemp card sits on top of my bookshelf housing the works and images of my heroes. As the NFL self-destructs, it’s worth reading about Jack Kemp’s work for civil rights. And for the Republican Party. And for conservatism. Jack Kemp’s Activism […]
Coming to a head. President Trump seems pathologically opposed to festering problems. When he sees a festering problem, he pops it like a zit. For example, the North Korean nukes problem has festered since the Clinton administration. Trump is bringing Little Rocket Man to a head. NAFTA has been festering since the Clinton administration. Trump […]
By now you’ve seen the photo. The iconic photo. One lone Army Ranger veteran defying his team to salute the flag during the Star-Spangled Banner. You know that Alejandro Villanueva’s jersey and t-shirt immediately became the best-selling merchandise from the NFL’s store. Villanueva served three tours of combat duty as an Army Ranger. He’s […]
Brain damage. They all have brain damage. And they’ll likely die from it. Like Aaron Hernandez. 99 out of every 100 football players have serious brain damage. Kneeling for CTE NFL players and owners decided to show their disrespect to the flag, law enforcement, and the USA by kneeling during the national anthem. In a […]
K-12 students and parents are hostage to the data overlords. No, I mean really, hostage, in every sense. As Natasha Singer points out here and here, “BigData” and edtech have taken over […]
You might not know about Franco Harris. You might wonder why he’s so unhappy, like many of us are, with the NFL’s anti-American antics lately. But his wonderful heritage tells a lot about why my favorite running back respects America. His dad was an Army soldier. His dad met his mom in Italy during World […]
You can see the battle brewing. It’s coming to a head. And no one is telling you the real reason the NFL is dying before your eyes. Everyone sees the symptoms of football’s death spiral: empty stadiums. Crashed ratings. low quality. Criminals on the field. Some people call it “the National Felony League.” Frustrated fans […]
The US Department of Education is asking for comments, “In accordance with Executive Order 13777, “Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda,” the Department of Education (Department) is seeking input on […]
If you want to hear what I really think of the fake news, you’ll have to join Jim Hoft and me on Saturday, September 23 at 9:30 PM. At the Marriott at the Airport.
They were dumbfounded. Those United Nations stuffed shirts were dumbfounded. Struck dumb. Silenced. Shocked. Floored. Those sissy diplomats were shaken. Appalled. Frightened. Never in the sordid history of the United Nations has an American president spoke in unvarnished truth in unvarnished terms. Trump has the best words. Trump used his best words today. The best […]
