MAKE OF THIS WHAT YOU WILL: Mark Kelly Says US military ‘doesn’t need more testosterone.’ “The retired Navy captain rebuked the secretary as ‘a guy who runs around on the stage, yelling about killing people and maximum lethality and testosterone’ during an appearance on MS NOW’s ‘Morning Joe’ show.”

Tell that to these guys: Airmen can’t get enough of new, warlike basic training, leaders say. “It used to be, [trainees] would ask you those very simple questions about, you know, when will I get to fly home and see my parents next,” she continued. “Now it’s the really tough questions … ‘Ma’am, if they’re targeting us so closely and we’re actually hunted out there when we go out and deploy, how do we work through that? What tools are we going to have for that?’”

GEORGIA TECH BRINGS CIVICS ED TO STEM. “Simply put, society needs the creators, users, and regulators of future technologies to be not just savvy but wise.” Of course, we could always let the “effective altruists” have this field to themselves, but they might kill us all to spare the bugs.

More:

• Isaacman showed a dark silhouette resembling a next-generation SR-71 Blackbird while discussing ‘radical airframe and engine designs’

• When asked if the image was the Blackbird, he responded: “You sure that’s the Blackbird?”

• NASA will soon be ‘flying once again as high and as fast as we have from decades past, and then even more’

• He criticized NASA being forced to spend its aeronautics budget subsidizing 40-year-old contractor engines instead of pushing technological boundaries

NASA’s job from the start was supposed to be the latter, not the former, of that last item.

CLEANUP ON AISLE 44: JD Vance’s Anti-Fraud Task Force to Boot More Than Half a Million Americans From Obamacare.

It is the largest purges of the insurance exchange since President Donald Trump’s administration began tackling fraud last year, the outlet noted.

The task force said eliminating the subsidies for the allegedly fraudulent enrollees would save an estimated $2.2 billion in taxpayer dollars.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, headed by administrator Mehmet Oz, was also expected to cut off hundreds of brokers and agents who get paid each time they sign up a new enrollee for government health insurance, The Journal reported.

Officials said 40 insurance agents and brokers were responsible for creating 50,000 fake accounts at a cost of $45 million — and CMS had already axed 66 agnets from its system.

Incentivize fraud, get more fraud — which seems to have been baked into ObamaCare from the start.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: It’s a Shame Trump Couldn’t Shut Down the UN for Good. “Leftists the world over — especially American Coastal Media Bubble™ types — insist that the UN is the linchpin of global community and understanding.

HOW TO SUBVERT SUBVERSION WITH YURI BEZMENOV: Beware of CCP Unrestricted Warfare.

The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting. If one party is at war with another, and the other party does not realize it is at war, the party who knows it’s at war almost always has the advantage and usually wins. Sun Tzu tried to warn us.

The CCP is conducting unrestricted warfare against America. Similar to the KGB’s ideological subversion campaigns that the real Yuri Bezmenov dissected, this doctrine encompasses many fronts that are unnoticeable to the untrained eye. No other country comes close to coordinating this much intentional damage across psychological, chemical, and technological methods.

Most Americans have no idea it is happening because the media and politicians from both parties are complicit.

WELL, WHY DIDN’T HE DO ANYTHING? Every teacher is saying, ‘How did he graduate? He didn’t do anything.’

South Carolina is trying to raise expectations. A new state law bans schools from setting “grade floors,” which set a minimum of 40 or 50 out of 100 instead of zero, even if no work is turned in. The idea is to persuade students who get a slow start not to give up on a passing grade.

But students have figured out they can pass with very little work, says Patrick Kelly, director of governmental affairs with the Palmetto State Teachers Association and a high school history teacher.

“At any high school graduation, I promise you, there will be a child who walks across the stage where every teacher in the room is going to go, ‘Wait, how did they graduate? They didn’t do anything,’” said Kelly.

Texas passed a similar law in 2009, writes Gilreath.

The South Carolina law also states that students must turn in missing assignments before they become eligible for credit-recovery programs, which let them make up classes they failed, often via online worksheets.

That could raise dropout rates says, Susan Stevens, assistant superintendent for school leadership in Greenville County, which set a grade floor more than a decade ago. The district will rethink how to support students at risk of failure.

If they haven’t successfully completed the work, how have they done anything but fail?
