Yesterday's 2025 Elections aren’t because of Republicans or Jews or or or or…

To me, it’s the BOOMER legacy that filed far-left surge in NYC and VA amid Democrat sweep…
đź§µ Image Yesterday's off-year elections on November 4, 2025, delivered a resounding Democratic victory across key battlegrounds, but the real story for far-left Democrats was in New York City, where democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani's mayoral win marked a seismic shift toward progressive dominance.Image

Reviewing the @naep data for Illinois this morning--known as the Nation's Report Card--I'll share some initial observations.

Please comment with your own.

While there aren't many statistical differences in 2024 from the national averages, a few trends are worth noting.
đź§µ Image 4th grade 2024 Reading Snapshot: IL and the national average are tied at 214. This is the lowest reading score in over 20 years for Illinois 4th grade students.

In 2024, female students outperform male students by 8 points.

4th grade is a HUGE benchmark year for literacy. If they aren't proficient by that grade, it's a statistical probably that the student's grades will continue to suffer.

A question I've been asking K-12 staff over the last few years: "What happened that made 2015 our highest literacy rate?"

What they say is that literacy funding was better in years leading up to 2015. In other words, Kindergarteners had better literacy programming as they moved up to 4th grade.

That time saw the highest reading proficiencies for 4th graders in over 20 years and the only time Illinois was above the national average.Image

I’m voting for @realDonaldTrump Nov 5th knowing that the battle against evil won’t end Nov. 6th, regardless of outcome.

But it’s an election win many know we need in order to start sanitizing the woke communist rot afflicting this century.

Some thoughts in 🧵 As I observe the cultural battle we are in, it’s very clear who the policy makers/influencers are that have NOT faced communist struggle sessions or cancel culture. I don’t wish it upon them but their perspective is different; riddled with naiveté.

Also, I am well aware that some influencers make more money when there is drama. It drives traffic. So I don't get too into their web - and I encourage you to avoid it - but it's interesting to watch.

STOP what you're doing and START watching this interview from 2001 with Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt (#CTI). She cannot be controlled or cancelled. She #AWAKENED in 1975 and her book on #education is a MUST. Would love to have met her. đź§µ "Textbook called 'World of Mankind': teacher takes the 1st grade through town and asks them to identify big houses & little houses. What do you think they eat in the big house, what do they eat in the little house? To create class system class warfare"

On “school choice”, I’ll share this 🧵(11)

In AZ, we paid $3k in annual prop. taxes in a lovely neighborhood and had numerous charter options; some lottery based. Our oldest was @GreatHeartsAcad. It was tuition-free w/suggested donation of $1k. We drove 20 min to the school each way and donated $1k for the year of classical education. This school went through 12th grade.
$4k total w/prop taxes = our bill for AZ school choice.

In 2015, we moved back to IL with one student in public school and a $12k annual tax bill.
