How the WHO’s Hunt for Covid’s Origins Stumbled in China
A team of scientists hoped a mission to the city where the first coronavirus cases were identified would provide some clarity about its origins. A Wall Street Journal investigation has uncovered new details about the team’s formation and constraints that…

A common claim among pro-immigrant activists is that immigrants are primarily seeking job opportunities and asylum in receiving countries, not welfare benefits. Agersnap et al. (2020) tests the welfare magnet hypothesis with an EU program limiting welfare benefits for non-citizens, but the policy was repealed after backlash. They found that the original policy significantly reduced immigration by about 5,000 per year for each country, and the repealed policy increased immigration by the exact same amount

The Welfare Magnet Hypothesis: Evidence From an Immigrant Welfare Scheme in Denmark
We study the effects of welfare generosity on international migration using reforms of immigrant welfare benefits in Denmark. The first reform, implemented in 2002, lowered benefits for non-EU immigrants by about 50%, with no changes for natives or EU immigrants.…

This paper by Sesardic, is a must read, if anyone's interested in how shitlibs turned the public opinion from anti gay marriage legalisation, to pro gay marriage legalisation.
He also gives compelling arguments as to why pro gay marriage legalisation arguments are irrational.

Contrary to claims that the genetic component of intelligence is lower for economically disadvantaged children, Pesta et al. (2021) finds no evidence that the moderate to high heritability of intelligence differs across racial or ethnic groups.

“Do you have any empirical evidence suggesting that gender is just some arbitrary social construct?”
In Charles Murray’s book Human Diversity he looked at the syllabi of required courses to get a gender studies BA at top 10 colleges and not one required a biology course. Anyone who’s taken college biology knows that we became stratified based on gender roles because of biological reasons (e.g. sexual competition, hunting and gathering, etc)

What a feminine sounding guy lmao
The irony surrounding the school reopening debate is that 6 years ago when affirmative action lawsuits were relevant, liberals warned everyone that not having racial diversity in colleges would have harmful consequences and lower everyone’s grades. Now it’s no big deal if schools are closed for 2 years
Although community colleges have been viewed as a viable pathway to a four year bachelors degree, Long and Kurlaender (2008) find that community college graduates are much less likely to finish a bachelors degree and have worse life outcomes than students going from HS to college. This is true even after controlling for HS GPA

Evil is extremely agitated today as millions of Christians gather together to celebrate Christ’s Resurrection.
There’s certainly something special about this year’s Easter Season in America. We will never forget how Christ came into this dark world and bore every curse to conquer death and give us a chance at eternal life.
When Christ died on that cross, he was thinking about YOU!
A VERY Happy Easter to our Methodist, Baptist, Catholic, Anglican, and Protestant Christian followers.
He is Risen Indeed!
