1) How Worried Should We Be That Joe Biden Is Incapable of Understanding Simple Math?

There was no progress in the debt ceiling talks yesterday, though we hear that behind closed doors the President continues to proclaim that he’s the biggest deficit hawk in the history of the American presidency. It is such a grandiose lie – and so weirdly divorced from reality – that a part of us worries that he may really believe it.

So we once again present the cold facts of the fiscal deterioration under Biden. In his first two years in office and in every year over the next decade the debt is LARGER than it would have been had he done nothing at all. But he didn’t do anything. He spent $6 trillion AFTER the Covid crisis was over. 
 
Biden’s $6 Trillion Debt/Spending Blowout

Here is the advice we’ve given to the House GOP leadership: since almost all Republicans voted against every penny of this spending blowout, they shouldn’t feel honor bound to provide Biden with the votes to raise the debt ceiling UNLESS there is a responsible plan in place to reverse the debt and spending blowout. 

 And that, Joe, is nonnegotiable.

2) Welcome to Black and Latinx Math

Speaking of problems with math, congratulations are in order to our favorite Chicago-based radio talk show host, Dan Proft (whose morning show regularly features CTUP experts) for breaking this wild story: 
 

The school in question is Evanston High School, located just north of Chicago.  

A calculus class was restricted to students who “identify as black, all genders.”  

Segregated classes based on race were supposed to be outlawed by civil rights laws – but in this new world where racial identity is everything, the left’s latest demands are to keep the races apart.  

Next thing you know the leftist buffoons who support these segregated classrooms will start using the terminology “separate, but equal.”

We are told that this story has generated so much pushback and ridicule that Evanston may end the brief experiment in segregated classes. 

And by the way, who still uses the offensive term “Latinx?”

3) Is the Five-Day Workweek Dead?

There continue to be huge day-of-the-week effects in Kastle's return to office tracking. Mondays are still lagging and Fridays are not budging at all.
 

Maybe this helps explain the decline in worker productivity.

4) CDC *Yesterday*: Mask Special Needs Two Year-Olds

This is a deeply broken agency. It needs to be cleaned out.

5) Quote of the day

If you had any doubt about who runs California, Democratic Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon just made it crystal clear in his speech to the California Labor Federation (which is dominated by public employee unions).
 

BLS estimates that in 2022 only 16.1% of California wage and salary workers were union members. Maybe the other 84% should consider voting Republican?
