This article from the National Review criticizes Susan Glasser, a journalist from the New Yorker, for her lack of understanding of politics and her liberal bias. The author accuses Glasser of being scandalized by Donald Trump's statements and blindly repeating the Democratic Party's views without critical thinking. The article also discusses Glasser's failure to correct a false claim she made about Kamala Harris, suggesting that this is an example of the left-wing dismissing discussion of extreme policies as right-wing misinformation. The author argues that the left's selective memory and postmodern view of truth contribute to this behavior. [Extracted from the article]

A recent paper from the National Bureau of Economic Research suggests that time spent in foster care can actually help children. The research found that time in foster care reduces the likelihood of adult criminal involvement and conviction, particularly for violent crimes. Additionally, children in foster care had better academic outcomes, including improved attendance, math test scores, and higher likelihood of high school graduation and college enrollment. Other studies have also found positive long-term benefits of foster care, such as reduced likelihood of maltreatment. While foster care is not the ideal solution for every child, it can provide the necessary push for some parents to seek help and become better caregivers. [Extracted from the article]

"Rebel Ridge" is a Netflix action movie that explores themes of corruption and police misconduct in a small Louisiana town.
