University of California STEM professors want standardized tests back due to severe math deficiencies among students:
“We now observe preparation gaps so severe that instructors must reteach middle school mathematics”
“The current admissions metric, based primarily on GPA & essays, can no longer reliably distinguish readiness for university-level STEM majors in an era of severe grade inflation & AI assisted application essays”

US Treasuries are experiencing the worst bear market in history:
The US Treasury Total Return Index has now been in a drawdown for 69 consecutive months, the longest streak in over 100 years of data.
The previous record stretch that ended in 2019 lasted for ~30 months.
This is also only the 3rd time in history that a drawdown has exceeded 20 months.
During the current drawdown, the US Treasury Total Return Index fell as much as -18% from 2020 to 2022.
Since then, it has recovered some of its losses, but it is still down -6% since 2020.
Meanwhile, the 20+ year Treasury ETF, $TLT, is down -40% since its April 2020 peak.
US bonds are more unpopular than ever.

China is seeing massive capital outflows:
An estimated $1 trillion in capital flowed out of China in 2025, the largest annual outflow since records began in 2006.
Capital outflows have more than DOUBLED since 2021.
This comes as Chinese investors have moved funds into overseas equities through offshore brokers, particularly into the US and Hong Kong markets.
In response, China imposed restrictions on cross-border stock trading on May 22nd, ordering all illegal accounts to be liquidated within 2 years.
Furthermore, the country fined three offshore online brokers, Hong Kong-based Futu, Singapore-based Tiger Brokers and Longbridge Securities, a combined $330 million for offering Chinese investors access to foreign stock markets without regulatory approval.
China is tightening capital controls as outflows intensify.

Starlink on planes is amazing.
For one, it's faster and more reliable than traditional in-flight WiFi. That alone is enough to justify it.
But it's also much lighter and more aerodynamic. It's so much better that it allows airlines to *also* save fuel costs.

There are many local banks in the USA owned by families from India. The entire board of directors and top executives are ethnically from India.
SBA backed loans are funneled to their people in this manner to buy businesses such as hotels, gas stations.
Whites need not apply

The most interesting aspect of Zohran Mamdani’s housing plan is that it doesn’t simply transfer seized properties to the city as that could later be reversed by a future mayor.
Instead, it funnels them directly to NGOs and “community stewards” that are reliably aligned with leftist priorities and unlikely to ever relinquish control.
Even tenants who gain temporary possession will soon discover they lack the expertise and resources to manage buildings themselves, forcing them to rely on these permanent third-party intermediaries.
This expropriation strategy didn’t start with Mamdani.
Democrats laid the groundwork years ago but lacked the nerve to follow through fully.
Mamdani is openly commie and has no such hesitation.
The play:
>impose strict rent controls that make it financially unviable for owners to properly maintain or repair their properties
>blame the landlords for the resulting deterioration
>label the buildings “chronically neglected” based on your own standards
>seize the properties and transfer them to your political allies, the nonprofits, community land trusts, or tenant groups
Because the criteria are deliberately vague and subjective, virtually any owner can be targeted.
This gives authorities the power to confiscate private property at will.
Mamdani’s campaign made this direction explicit. It’s about pursuing “equity” by redistributing housing stock, often framed as taking from wealthier (white) neighborhoods to benefit others.
In reality, many of these properties are expected to end up under the control of nonprofits serving the city’s large foreign-born population, all within a framework of permanent “progressive” dominance.
TLDR: it’s leftist plunder and pillaging, again.
