China Is Beating the US in the Battle for Energy Export Dominance Chinaโ€™s exports of clean energy technology hit a record in August, with $20 billion shipped globally.

China is running away with the race for global clean energy export dominance. The surge marks a clear contrast with the ambitions of the US, which โ€œwants the world to buy its fossil fuels.โ€

Only 0.03% Opt Out Of LGBTQ+ Education In Maryland After SCOTUS Gives Them A Right To After SCOTUS gave families a right to opt out of LGBTQ+ education, Montgomery County, Maryland is reporting only 43 families took them up on it.

This summer, SCOTUS issued a landmark ruling allowing parents to opt out of classes that teach material conflicting with their religious beliefs.

Maryland implemented the ruling it lost.

Only 0.03% students (well, their parents) took advantage of the opt-out.

The home of SC Circuit Court judge, Diane Goodstein & her husband, Arnie burned to the ground.

Recently Judge Goodstein was involved in a case that blocked SC from turning over voter data to the DOJ. That decision was overturned by the Supreme Court.

Coincidence? Unlikely.

Trump cases to dominate Supreme Courtโ€™s coming term The high court has already ruled in the presidentโ€™s favor with some interim decisions.

Really not looking forward to a few SCOTUS term. They proved that they will bend to whatever Trump wants, and doesn't want to exercise their checks.

House steers clear of DC as Senate tensions ramp up โ€˜We need them to turn the lights back on,โ€™ Speaker Mike Johnson said of the Senate.

Mike Johnson is keeping the House closed, instead of swearing in the newest House member who can discharge the Epstein files.

Oh, and he's keeping the government shutdown.

Trump wonโ€™t budge on key Democratic shutdown demand The opposition may yet get him to cut a deal on extending health care subsidies. Limits to his spending power are more out of reach.

Of course Trump isn't going to sign something that limits his executive power. So he'll refuse, and the government stays shut down.

We can stand on principals, even if some are not fully achievable

Here's a story about how "scary" Chicago is.

One night, I was with my wife as we were driving a friend to drop her off at Midway for a flight. While in a so-called "scary" neighborhood, my car sputtered an died as we were going through a light.

Scoop โ€” Trump to Netanyahu on Gaza talks: "You're always so f***ing negative" "I don't know why you're always so f***ing negative. This is a win. Take it."

The push for Trump to get Bibi to accept Trump's peace plan shows how he works with everyone:

"He was fine with it. He's got to be fine with it. He has no choice. With me, you got to be fine," Trump said.

"WITH ME, YOU GOT TO BE FINE"

White House discloses more details of deal to save TikTok TikTok's new U.S. entity would lease its algorithm from Chinese owner ByteDance.

Trump didn't enforce a law banning TikTok (THAT HE PUSHED FOR). He is showing nwillingness to cut off Chinese consumer tech the way U.S. tech is throttled on China's mainland. US consumers and companies vulnerable to data security breaches and content manipulation.

MAGA wages campaign to redefine "hate" after Kirk killing For decades, the ADL and SPLC have shaped America's understanding of hate

Hate crimes have hit record levels in the past few years.

More than half involved attacks motivated by race or ethnicity.

Black Americans were the most targeted group, followed by Jewish Americans, then gay men, according to the data.

Just so we know who is the most targeted. It's not the right.

My school is a private Christian university that has found so many ways to provide access to excellence.

When higher education is under attack, I want to see my alma mater stand strong in it's values.

The neighborhood around the university is largely Somali, with a large Hmong population nearby.

Some personal news. Yesterday I was named as a "distinguished alumni" at my university.

The roster of people honored included musicians, a Somali athlete who designed athletic wear for Muslim girls, a lawyer, a city manager, and an activist.

The wonderful day made me proud of my education.
