Media watch:
asserted
Media → watch → ?
Haley Stevens kept “asking El-Sayed to dial down the campaign’s revolting, flamboyant anti-Semitism; he had blamed the Jews and Israel for everything from the price of groceries and gas to the supposed inability of American children to buy eyeglasses,” observes Commentary’s Seth Mandel.
asserted
Mandel → ask → eyeglasses
But he told her “to get lost.
asserted
he → tell → her
And so she did” — endorsing the GOP’s Mike Rogers.
asserted
she → do → Rogers
Cue Democrats’ fury — “but what really made this a true day of rage was the way mainstream news outlets insisted that all this was merely about Israel policy.”
asserted
this → cue → policy
She clearly “objected to the El-Sayed campaign’s overt anti-Semitism,” but The New York Times claimed it was about “U.S. policy on Israel” and other outlets chimed in.
asserted
outlets → object → Israel
Snarks Mandel, “The amount of effort the media puts into obscuring what it knows to be the truth is astounding.”
asserted
it → snark → effort
Dems’ Disastrous ’28 Agenda
Dems winning Congress now promises just “a period of frothy deadlock,” but National Review’s Charles C. W. Cooke “shudders” at thought of their total victory in 2028 and the ensuing “brazen acts of constitutional vandalism” to “permanently change the key rules of the game.”
asserted
Cooke → win → game
The Dems “smother their designs in euphemisms,” but the party’s “more radical figures” are clear about seeking to “end the Supreme Court as a useful branch of government,” transform “the Senate into a smaller version of the House,” and admit “new states for the sole purpose of making national elections less competitive.”
asserted
elections → smother → purpose
This “project will gut the heart of the American system of government” and lead us to the brink of a new “Civil War.”
asserted
project → gut → War
Sacramento’s certification of the California Gig Workers Union to “negotiate directly with Uber and Lyft on behalf of all rideshare drivers in the state” is part of new trend of “sectoral bargaining laws,” warns C. Jarrett Dieterle at Reason:
asserted
Dieterle → negotiate → Reason
“Rather than requiring unions to negotiate with individual companies, these laws allow sector-wide negotiations, which could lead to one-size-fits-all outcomes that limit flexibility for both companies and workers” — and the approach “is unlikely to stop with the gig economy.”
uncertain
approach → require → economy
Beware: Germany “has long operated under a sectoral bargaining model,” and “German workers are generally less productive than American workers,” as “the German economy has struggled under a broad set of labor rules that have contributed to its sclerosis.”
asserted
that → beware → sclerosis
Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-Pa.) should “buck party orthodoxy” and opt into the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit, urges The Washington Post Editorial Board.
asserted
Board → buck → Credit
He’s most likely just “waiting until after Election Day to risk the wrath of the teachers unions, who call the federal credit a private-school voucher program.”
asserted
who → wait → credit
Not so: “Scholarships can also support qualifying expenses such as tutoring, books and after-school reading programs for kids in public schools.”
asserted
Scholarships → support → schools
Not to mention the “exciting experiment in education competition” they create: When “parents are afforded more power,” “successful providers attract more customers; unsuccessful ones adapt or fail.”
asserted
ones → mention → customers
“If Shapiro wants to demonstrate the kind of independence that could distinguish him on the national stage, this is an easy place to start.”
uncertain
this → want → stage
Perils of an Unleashed IRS
Reagan administration lawyers in a 1983 case argued that nothing in written law empowers the IRS “to deny tax exemptions to racially segregated schools,” but the Supreme Court (with future Chief Justice William Rehnquist dissenting) sided with the IRS, treating “the actual language of the tax code as but a subordinate factor,” notes Eugene Scalia at the Wall Street Journal.
asserted
Scalia → argue → Journal
Now the Trump team hopes to expand the IRS’s “ability to deny tax exemption to universities and other private schools that discriminate based on race.”
asserted
that → hop → race
But while ending racial “preference programs” with “no basis in law” is important, but “other conservative principles must also” apply: Team Trump’s proposal “vastly” expands “an authority that the Reagan administration and Rehnquist rightly said Congress had never granted” and “creates endless opportunities for IRS mischief” — including under “the next Democratic president.”
asserted
Congress → end → president
