Gifted and Talented, or G&T, programs have long been a perennial subject of debate, particularly in New York City, where it has bedeviled mayors for years. Some parents have already washed their hands of the whole G&T business, refusing to participate in what they view as a corrupt system of segregation. But countless others still place significant stock in the G&T designation and what it offers and are comfortable relying on cognitive testing, should it be required, to determine whether a child qualifies. “When your intelligence is the foundation of your self-perception, failing to achieve feels like soul death,” writes Katie Arnold-Ratliff. But if the limited amount of information we have about gifted kids long-term is any indication, most lead, at best, ordinary lives of modest accomplishment. A 35-year study of 677 gifted children found that by age 50, only 12.3 percent had reached a level of “eminence,” defined as “full professors … Fortune 500 executives … judges and lawyers, leaders in biomedicine, award-winning journalists and writers.” This means 88 percent never did. Arnold-Ratliff digs into the myth of the gifted child, and how our notions of intelligence may be inherently flawed: nymag.visitlink.me/9mc2Wh

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

How your body repairs DNA. How can anyone see this and think it wasn't designed? This is God's Creation.

I will be putting forward a resolution to void the fraudulent impeachment of President Trump during his first term in office. Russia collusion never happened. This has been proven by evidence released by ODNI Gabbard. It was a terrible lie that tore this country apart, and was plotted by a weaponized intelligence agency under Obama. There is no monetary value that can be assigned to the damage this lie caused. It destroyed families’ relationships with one another, our country’s comradery, and our relationship with another nuclear super power (Russia) that could have resulted in war. Thank goodness the admin has started to restore that relationship, but HISTORY should reflect what actually transpired.

Well, that’s a new one! Over the years, I’ve heard atheists claim over and over that young-earth creationists are “science deniers” who believe in a flat earth. And I recently heard this kind of claim again—but this time it wasn’t from an atheist. The claim was from the well-known Christian theologian and apologist William Lane Craig, who denies a literal Genesis, instead believing in evolution and millions of years. Yes, he really compared believing what the Bible clearly teaches about Genesis to believing in a flat earth (something the Bible doesn’t teach and that denies observational science). But William Lane Craig has a problem—he doesn’t really understand science! And he refuses to take God at his Word in Genesis. Sadly, William Lane Craig has been impacted by the religion of naturalism (which is atheism), and he’s added that into the Bible. It’s compromise on the truth of Scripture, and this compromise has major problems (such as putting death and suffering before man’s sin—a direct contradiction of Scripture). Instead of trusting the words of men who don’t know everything, weren’t there, and often make mistakes, we must start with the Word of the God who knows everything, who has always been there, and who has never made a mistake. William Lane Craig needs to do that!

Atheism is like a cancer that rots your brain of all open-mindedness, empathy, and objective reasoning. It is one of the most close-minded belief systems there is. Oops...

Atheists, God took on all our suffering and sin upon Himself. He died to redeem us from it. He knows our suffering better then we do. You can't claim to care about suffering, while denying the only One who will end it forever. The only One who can and will save us from it.

People are quick to point out my logical fallacy. But is it a logical fallacy? The burden of proof is on God. And He proved it! He created something and wrote us a book to tell us He created it. Not only that, He became a human to tell us about Himself.

We loathed Obama like you loathed Trump. Except we loathed Obama because he loathed America. You loathe Trump because you loathe America.
