I am not from New York and never been there myself. Having said all of that, my biggest congratulations and my best wishes to Zohran Mamdani on his mayorship of New York City. I hope he can improve the conditions and everyday life for all New Yorkers and not just the wealthy gentry.

Jack Posobiec, the guy posing next to the Hitler-admirer with the sweatshirt making fun of Holocaust victims, was a frequent co-host of Charlie Kirk’s podcast and his book about the left, Unhumans, was blurbed by JD Vance and DJT JR.

Working your entire life so you can "enjoy" a couple years when you're close to death is the biggest scam of all time.

“Bankruptcies soar” is certainly what you’d expect from Donald Trump www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
Bankruptcies soar as companies grapple with inflation, tariffs
Businesses in vulnerable sectors found themselves caught between rising tariffs and beleaguered consumers.

On birthright citizenship: The plain meaning of the text is against him. The original intent of the authors is against him. The traditional understanding through US history is against him. So he is left trying to invent some convoluted academic theory to justify his predetermined conclusion.
I had missed this latest delirium by Adrian Vermeule on birthright citizenship
'Common law?! NAH, it's the Roman law of adoption that should govern the interpretation of the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution!'

People have no idea what a premium we have enjoyed and what losing it will cost us
This piece is a great illustration of how the long-term effect of Trump’s destruction of US institutions won’t be felt in a dramatic market collapse, but rather in permanently worse economic conditions, and lower prosperity.

People will shrug their shoulders so long as nothing goes wrong with a big crypto firm. But if there is a crypto crash or a crypto scandal, this will help the public establish clear accountability. As Harry Truman said, “The bitcoin stops here.” Kudos to @seamushughes.bsky.social and colleagues.
Under Trump, the SEC has eased up on more than 60% of the crypto cases that were ongoing when he took office in January.
Many of the firms that benefited from the leniency had financial ties to the Trump family.
The SEC is no longer pursuing any cases against crypto firms with Trump ties.

Remember this Christmas, if someone buys a $25 gift for you, and they make minimum wage, they paid 2-3 hours of their life to get you that gift. Be humble. Gifts don't have to cost much to have value.
