THEFEDERALIST (David Randall) - Iowa GOP Should Fix K-12 Social Studies Rewrite That Pushes Open Borders, Climate Alarmism
One cannot expect a different result by using the same radical methods and personnel that caused the problem the legislature and governor were seeking to solve.
AI:The Iowa GOP is failing its mandate by allowing social studies curriculum rewrites that serve as a Trojan horse for globalist agendas.

Microsoft had one of its worst selloffs in history after it increased its AI spending plans. Meta did the same, but it was rewarded by investors. Why it matters: The wildly different market reactions to Meta and Microsoft earnings reveal the new calculus investors are using to evaluate AI winners and losers. State of play: Microsoft reported solid earnings , with revenue and profit beating expectations, but its stock fell nearly 12%. - Cloud revenue was up 39% from a year ago, but that was driven by non-AI workloads. Capital expenditure hit $37 billion for the quarter, a 65% jump. - That mismatch is the issue: If a company is spending a lot, fine, but it needs to be spending on AI investments that will make it money now. - Meta beat on…
