Bidenism

Bidenism is Centrism. A doctrine that offers even less than zero. It has been tried for 40 years, and has resulted in the Gen Xers  and the Millennials and the Gen Zers being pushed into a trajectory of diminished expectations, year after year. Generation Covid-19, I suspect, won’t even bother with expectations; they will mindlessly follow the mandates of their masters, the “dear leaders”

For the last two weekends, videos have gone viral of large crowds at college football games chanting “F**k Biden.” Others have shown hecklers at his in-person events yelling the phrase, and the hashtag #FBiden trended on Twitter. The stain of the botched Afghanistan withdrawal collided with the emotional 20th anniversary of the  9/11 attacks. The self-inflicted wound the administration foisted on America is not just open. It is starting to fester. Americans are still trapped in Afghanistan, and the State Department has told our Afghan allies to ask the United Nations for help with the evacuation.

Say what?  We are Americans; we don’t betray and leave people behind!  Bide called his role in the Afghanistanian “withdrawal” a “success.”  If that was a success then Joe is a very evil person!  The Biden administration has betrayed America and her allies.

To distract from the horror show and national security issues they have created, the administration pivoted to COVID-19. On Thursday, President Biden announced an unprecedented vaccine mandate in a speech that was astonishingly divisive. The last two weeks also produced disappointing jobs numbers, predictions of rising food prices, and an 8.3% increase in producer prices for August. Americans have a lot to be concerned about.

A CNN poll released on Friday, Sep 10, ’21, shows that Americans are concerned and angry. Despite a D+6 sample, the results are a cause for concern if you are a Democrat running in 2022. In previous iterations of the same poll, some reported having no opinion on Biden’s handling of the presidency, the economy, and COVID-19. Now it appears that no one is undecided. Even with an oversampling of Democrats, Biden’s overall approval is only 52%. On the economy, only 51% say things are going well. Even COVID-19 only earned 56%, a 10-point decline from April.

The cost of Bidenism is extremely high.  There are thousands of people left behind by Biden and their lives are in jeopardy, but he doesn’t care because he is counting on the left-leaning media to continue to run cover for him.

Report from Math Scholars Shows U.S. is Dropping STEM Competency in Favor of “Diversity” and “Social Justice”

According to a Breitbart News Article detailing the “deplorable” state of American education, the U.S. is falling further and further behind China in K-12 education in the core science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. The article discusses the findings of three math scholars who immigrated to the U.S. as young students who are now greatly concerned about the falling status of the country in STEM subjects.

The scholars warned Americans that the country’s education policies are so counterproductive that our schools are becoming less attractive than even Chinese education, even though China’s schools are founded on strict and unfree academic principles.

Math education in K-12 public schools is leaving comparatively few American children prepared for STEM careers. American programs are therefore left dependent on new international students to keep programs competitive, especially those from Asia and India.

Data from 2017 shows that 81% of graduate students in American electrical engineering programs came from outside the country, while 79% of computer science graduate students came from outside the county.  And at least two-thirds of STEM faculty in American graduate programs are foreign-born.

This is being caused in large part by the increasing national focus in American schools on diversity and social justice at the expense of STEM education.  Asian-Americans have been especially singled out to feel the sting of discrimination as a result.  Illogically, Math is more and more frequently deemed to be “racist.”  Diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, especially CRT, stifle development in STEM programs, especially in mathematics.

California’s math “equity” programs could close the path to high school calculus except to students whose parents secure extracurricular math training for them.  The implication for students from lower-income families is obvious, or should be.  Without at least introductory Algebra, the students will be entirely unprepared for undergraduate STEM programs.

The “education establishment” in control of public school is unaware of or unconcerned with the standard requirements of college STEM academic programs.  Their “dumbing-down” through education reforms has degraded math training to the point that it is challenging to distinguish capable students from those unprepared to go forward.  Now we find that most U.S. K-12 math teachers have been trained in programs that have shifted from substantive mathematics to identity politics and social justice causes.  Other advanced nations are not as beset with certification training and establishment qualifications.

In 2018 China’s 15-year-old students were ranked first in mathematics while USA ranked twenty-fifth. If you’re part of the “Deep State,” you are thrilled because it means you probably cannot be toppled from your elitist pillar of power over the people anytime soon.
