Hey... I heard rumors about Indiana Girls and those Indiana Boys on an Indiana night.
I forget who I am talking to sometimes.

Well, I'll have to ask a neighbor about Indiana boys. Now Indiana girls are definitely corn fed, and when something goes bump in the night.
They will check it out for you... And on top of that, the serious part.
Indiana isn’t often thought of as an education powerhouse nationwide, this misconception can be easily debunked. With instate universities like Notre Dame, Ruth-Holman, perdue, Indiana University, and many more, the Hoosier State has some of the best higher education options around. If you’re dating a Hoosier, there’s a pretty good chance that they’re quite the smart cookie, with a great career to match.

“Masquerading as a ‘media literacy’ organization, Ad Fontes Media is the left’s newest weapon to erase conservative speech while bolstering legacy media,” wrote the investigators at Media Research Center (MRC) Free Speech America.
Ad Fontes, founded in 2018, claims to be impartial. According to its website, it is continuously updating its “Media Bias Chart,” which includes over 3,000 media sources graded on their own “bias” and “reliability” metrics. The organization insists it is objective because its evaluations stem from the consensus of anonymous analysts who are supposedly politically diverse. This couldn’t be further from the truth.
Ad Fontes analysts evaluate individual news articles and other forms of media content in groups of three. Even though the three analysts are supposed to include one individual on the left, one on the right, and another in the center, Ad Fontes’ founder and CEO Vanessa Otero brags that “99% of the time,” the three allegedly diverse analysts arrive at a single score.
Purportedly “Impartial” Ad Fontes promotes indisputably false left-wing narratives, such as the claim that the highly credible Wuhan lab leak theory is a “baseless” and “fringe theory.” Indeed, Ad Fontes gave the infamous 2020 Washington Post article “debunk[ing]” the lab leak theory its highest reliability rating.
Ad Fontes also gave a “reliable” rating to an article from The Root, which claims that Stacey Abrams won the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election, which she did not. It gave another “reliable” score to a story from The New York Times that said, “There’s no evidence of a wiretap” at Trump Tower. Trump Tower was indeed wiretapped.
Ad Fontes gave a perfectly “balanced” rating to an article by the CCP propaganda publication, China Daily, which lobbied for a reduction in trade restrictions between the United States and China. Ad Fontes also gave a perfectly balanced score to a New York Times puff piece on former YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki headlined “The Most Measured Person in Tech.”
“By the time the article was published, Wojcicki—now infamous for her far–reaching censorship policies—had already been caught targeting pro-life groups, demonetizing journalists critical of the left, and systematically removing Republican campaign ads,” reported the MRC.
“Both Otero and her top lieutenant Brad Berens are documented left-wing political activists,” reported the MRC. Both admit to being political ideologues and have consistently contributed to leftist political candidates.
Berens has referred to Tucker Carlson as “a sexist pig” and called President Trump a “white supremacist” and “the worst president in the history of this great country.”
He even wrote an open letter imploring Big Tech platforms to permanently ban then-President Trump, saying in the letter that he has “a persistent fantasy of seeing Donald Trump’s favorite color on a jumpsuit he is forced to wear.”
Berens’ political views on Trump appear to be shared by Ad Fontes as a whole. After Trump was indicted in Georgia, Ad Fuentes sent out a gleeful email that read, “The wheels of justice, however slow, had turned in the general direction that they are supposed to turn.”

Ad Fontes Is The Left’s Newest Tool To Destroying Conservatives
Ad Fontes Media is making money by actively encouraging Big Tech platforms and advertisers to deplatform and boycott conservative voices.

Apparently Dallas isn’t ready to follow New York City into Gotham City status. The Dallas Morning News ran an encouraging story last Friday headlined, “Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson announces he is switching to Republican party.”
On Friday, the leader of one of Texas’s biggest cities, Johnson — who won re-election this year with a resounding 99% of the vote — announced he was changing his party affiliation in a remarkable Wall Street Journal Op-Ed:
Here’s how Mayor Johnson explained his seismic decision in the WSJ (edited for brevity):
Laboratories for liberalism! I’m stealing that one. And “virtue signaling!” Nice turns of phrase.
Johnson’s shift makes him one of only two Republican mayors in the top 10 largest cities in America. Both Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton, recently acquitted in his impeachment trial, welcomed Mayor Johnson to the GOP.
There’s plenty to criticize from the Mayor’s democrat past. For instance, Johnson was a big “pandemic of the unvaccinated” jab pusher during the late, great unpleasantness. But people change. And pay attention to what you don’t see. You don’t see any high-profile Republicans switching to the democrat party. What does that tell you?

James Clapper concerned Trump might lock him up if reelected
Nice chyron: "Clapper: Concerned I'd Be on Trump's Perceived Enemies List." Clapper should be locked up anyway.
I'm not fully on board with Team Trump yet, but he told us about Hillary Clinton that he was going to lock her up, and he didn't. She should be in prison. Would a Trump 2.0 DOJ prosecute Clinton? But we Republicans are spineless and wouldn't do it because the Democrats would say we're being mean.
A lot of the reason Trump is polling so high is that many Republicans want what they've called a "revenge presidency." I'd like one. Democrats and the media ran for his entire administration with made-up opposition research paid for by the Clinton campaign and awarded themselves Pulitzers for it.
This is maddening, especially after COVID really took at-risk and disadvantaged kids and threw them of an educational cliff. UNICEF reports (emphasis added):
Government and the teachers unions are to blame. And now this educator wants to focus in 'oppressive and racist' things instead of reading and writing and actual education.
Reading to your children has many advantages, including language development, emotional awareness and empathy, strengthening the parent-child bond.
