'Act of God' disaster news…
Fires in Cali!
Fires explode across the Bay Area, burning homes and sparking mass evacuations… Napa is dealing with Inferno… Napa County, Contra Costa County, San Mateo County, Sonoma County, Santa Cruz, Alameda, Marin San Fran is blanketed in smoke…
ALSO: A storm devastated Iowa!
(The Cut, Aug 17) One week after a powerful and widespread wave of windstorms, known as a derecho (many mistakenly called it an “inland hurricane”), ripped its way through Iowa — flattening millions of acres of crops, damaging homes and grain elevators, and leaving four people dead — over 70,000 people were still without power A WEEK LATER, and many are without access to water, aid, or medical care.
(USA Today) On Aug 11 it was 800,000 without power! — it lashed 700 miles across the Midwest on Monday, flipping cars, downing trees, causing widespread property damage
Cheating UCLA students!
(Revolver) Feds bust another cheating ring at UCLA…
(Los Angeles Mag) A Chinese Cheating Ring at UCLA Reveals an Industry Devoted to Helping International Students Scam Grades! HA! CHINESE!
On paper, Liu Cai was a model student. After moving to the United States from Beijing, he majored in biology at UCLA and volunteered at the Boys & Girls Club. A former teacher, Jose Echeverria, remembers him as “an excellent student” and a “great person” who was “easy to get along with.” Cai graduated in 2017 and landed a job at a healthcare technology company in Santa Monica. He appeared to be doing everything right.
So it came as a surprise when, on a Tuesday morning in March, federal authorities arrested him on suspicion of facilitating an international cheating ring. According to prosecutors, Cai, along with four current and former UCLA students and another student at Cal State Fullerton, helped at least 40 Chinese nationals obtain student visas by fraudulently taking the TOEFL, an English proficiency exam, on their behalf. Cai’s ringers would show up to testing sites with fake Chinese passports bearing their own photos but with the names of the clients. Where Cai slipped—and where investigators caught up to him—was charging 39 test registration payments to his credit card.
THEY PRETEND IT’S JUST WHITE RICH PARENTS!
Any other day the UCLA bust might have made national headlines, but the news got swamped by a bigger, sexier college cheating scandal: Operation Varsity Blues. (The UCLA investigation was dubbed “Operation TOEFL Recall.”) While the UCLA case is less shocking—bribes in thousands of dollars instead of millions; Chinese high schoolers instead of Full House cast members—it represents an equally notable underbelly of American college admissions. If Varsity Blues is about the American ruling class perpetuating its privilege, the UCLA scandal reveals the extreme pressures and perverse incentives facing international students, many of them far less privileged and desperate to not screw up their shot.
It’s hard to find data on cheating that is broken down by country of origin (BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE RACIST!), but a survey of 14 public universities by The Wall Street Journal found that in the 2014-15 school year, those universities reported cheating among international students at a rate five times higher than among domestic students. In 2018 a professor at UC Santa Barbara told the Los Angeles Times that Chinese students comprise 6 percent of the student body but account for a third of plagiarism cases. A 2016 study conducted by United Kingdom newspaper The Times says that students from outside the European Union were four times more likely to cheat than U.K. and European Union students.
IT’S THE CHI-COMS!
Few suggest that Chinese students, who make up a third of all international students in the U.S., cheat at higher rates than students from other foreign countries. “People are understandably reluctant to make many assertions here,” said Gary Pavela, who runs the Academic Integrity Seminar, an instructional program for students caught cheating. “It’s become very sensitive and somewhat politicized.” In March a professor at the University of Maryland resigned after students accused him of discrimination for allegedly saying that all Chinese students cheat.
It’s safe to say, though, that Chinese students bear the brunt of scrutiny. In 2016 Reuters reported that the University of Iowa was investigating at least 30 students—most, if not all, believed to be Chinese—over allegations of cheating. In 2015 federal prosecutors in Pennsylvania indicted 15 Chinese nationals for a standardized test-taking scheme similar to the UCLA case. ACT Inc. and the College Board, which owns the SAT, frequently delays or cancels scores in Asia when test materials leak.

BTW: AOC pretends to be Christian??
(Revolver) Mag: If AOC is the future of the Church, then God help us all…
(National Catholic Register) Mary FioRito writes: When I read the headline of Schlumpf’s recent opinion piece, “AOC is the Future of the Catholic Church,” I groaned. Although I understand her appeal to young people, I am not a fan of Ocasio-Cortez, the 30-year-old. bartender-turned-Congresswoman.
This Mary writer criticizes Cortez’s “her unwarranted and wholly uninformed attack on the status of a statue of St. Damián of Molokai representing the people of the state of Hawaii in the U.S. Capitol building (the people of Hawaii having requested themselves that St. Damián’s image represent them notwithstanding and the statue was a gift from the state).”
Internal disagreement at Nat. Catholic Register
Schlumpf’s piece appeared to be the victim of what I would term a wildly misleading headline. Rather than centering on the reasons AOC was the “future of the Church,” it emphasized instead Ocasio-Cortez’s response to a vulgar verbal insult made against her by a fellow member of the House of Representatives. I share Schlumpf’s outrage at the comments allegedly directed at the congresswoman, and her analysis of AOC’s rebuttal on the House floor is spot on. OH GOSH. FORGET ALL THESE WOMEN!
To speak to any woman in the manner Rep. Ted Yoho, R-Fla., allegedly did is shocking at best, unbefitting a gentleman, and beneath the dignity of the public office he holds. The New York congresswoman fought back, not by trading insult for insult, but in an eloquent and moving speech that, as the mother of three daughters, I applauded.
But that is where Schlumpf and I part ways. Schlumpf writes about how much Ocasio-Cortez’s speech reflected her “Catholic values,” specifically stating that “Ocasio-Cortez repeatedly railed against the ‘dehumanizing’ of others and instead called for treating people with dignity and respect.”
Abortion
Mary criticizes AOC’s self-proclaimed role as a supporter of “reproductive justice,” earning her a 100% approval rating from NARAL.
Ocasio-Cortez’s “reproductive justice” page on her website notes the following:
“Reproductive freedom is especially essential for all individuals of marginalized genders, including cisgender women and trans people. Alexandria does not accept any federal, state or local rollbacks, cuts or restrictions on the ability of individuals to access quality reproductive healthcare services, birth control, HIV/AIDS care and prevention, or medically accurate sexuality education. This means open access to safe, legal, affordable abortion, birth control, and family planning services, as well as access to adequate, affordable pre- and post-natal care, for all people, regardless of income, location or education.”
… The unborn have no place in AOC’s world of “inclusion and diversity.” …
THIS IS PARTLY WHY I DON’T TRUST CATHOLICS.
