A guessing game:
This picture of a shooting below his house was taken by one of my sons last night. One son is in Lebanon, the other in Washington DC. Which one do I worry about?
Hint: murder rate:
-In DC: 30 per 100k.
-In Lebanon: 2.3 per 100k.

This footnote from Chetty says it all re: recent admissions schemes to drop SAT in favor of other metrics like GPA / class rank.
It's all fraud, and state legislatures should investigate universities involved in this.

Hilo de las encuestas del 23-J:
1] Estuvieron regular.
2] Nuestra predicción avisó de que era una posibilidad real que no sumasen PP+Vox.
3] Y aunque la izquierda sorprendió para mejor, el CIS volvió a sobrestimarla. 🧵

Hay militantes socialistas como Nicolás Redondo que piden hoy un pacto entre PSOE y PP para gobernar. Reproduzco en abierto el artículo que publique ayer en ABC con las razones que justificarían este acuerdo para evitar la dependencia de Puigdemont.

Good that he’s locked up. Russia didn’t arrest him for his role in the shooting down of a civilian flight (MH-17) or war crimes as their proxy commander in 2014. But pointing out flaws in the war and making a band of misfits to do it? He’s done. Kremlin wants no more critiques./
