So kids who might learn a lesson after a low-level mistake don’t — and are more likely to make worse ones, all too often until someone ends up dead.
Even before the last polls closed, House Oversight Committee Chairman-to-be Robert Garcia posted “LAWYER UP” — warning that any and every Trump official could face investigation, public inquisition and potential prison.
Beijing’s apparent “honeypot” operation against Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is fresh proof China’s rulers will stop at nothing to win the AI race — yet America’s anti-progress left will surely try to use the scandal to cripple the US industry.
Of course they couldn’t know he’d wind up an accused killer, but they were right to worry.
New York City’s DSA chapter, per its own survey, is about 60% white and 9% black, vs. a city population that’s 31% white and 20% black — and so will vote Saturday on a resolution to create an “Anti-Oppression Task Force” to “dismantle oppressive systems and combat oppressive practices in the chapter.”
At least some Trump administration folks, for example, keep falling for Moscow’s claims that Ukraine is about to collapse: It proved untrue over a year ago, when insiders first suggested it to us, and it’s not so now.
Nor has Vladimir Putin shown any real goodwill by freeing Stephan Hubbard, an American imprisoned and tortured on trumped-up charges, nor by going along with First Lady Melania Trump’s local ceasefire around Oleshky.
Putin can (and will) grab more hostages as he pleases; the pause at Oleshky doesn’t help Kyiv, just allow some innocents to escape the front.

If Republicans are to recover from last week’s disaster, Team Trump needs to show greater flexibility here.
Yet the prez just chose Stephen Miller, a fierce deportation hardliner, as chief of staff: Can he loyally get on the boss’ new page, and stay there?
Trump’s admission is a positive sign, and (who knows?) might lead to a bipartisan deal on immigration reform — if Democrats can drop their own maximalist demands, such as amnesty for all and reopened borders.
‘I saw him as a crude means to reach disillusioned younger people with left-wing politics’, he writes,” so “ ‘I was willing to overlook, or just not look into, his history of problematic behaviour / statements, including sexism.’
New York needs a far stronger state Republican Party or its long decline will only accelerate — and that clearly requires empowering the Empire State GOP’s best young blood.
You could not ask for a more loyal gatekeeper — one dedicated to forwarding Trump’s core agenda without pride or prejudice — nor a hand more deft at balancing attack and defense, conflict and cooperation.
