🔮 “Of all the public benefits you could demand and you picked … a movie theater ???” tweeted one wag.
🔮 It’s nightmarishly grotesque, and horribly revealing, that crowds will gather in New York and other cities on the third anniversary of the Oct. 7 atrocities to celebrate the mass slaughter of Israelis by the “Islamic Resistance Movement,” a k a Hamas.
🔮 But (surprise!) reducing law enforcement hasn’t reduced lawlessness, so Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s Transportation Department is installing “super sidewalks” by narrowing Canal Street and adding painted footpaths.
🔮 Of course, with leadership like this it’s an open question whether Britain will outlast Israel: The country is turning further upside-down than anything the Monty Python ever imagined.
Except that this isn’t comedy, but sheer tragedy.
🔮 The combo of “barriers to hiring, immigration without a serious demand for assimilation, and a government expected to pay for nearly everything” has led to high unemployment, economic stagnation and massive social division.
🔮 When she chose Attorney General Tish James to lead the Cornell 7 investigation, Gov. Kathy Hochul had to know how bad it would look to everyone but the lynch mob and the ignorant — so why do it anyway?
🔮 City Hall just flagged a dozen, mostly higher-income community districts across the five boroughs as shirking their duty to “produce” more affordable housing; they’ll now be fast-tracked for new projects as Mayor Zohran Mamdani ensures they start doing their “fair share.”
🔮 Consider Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s proud notice that Brooklyn’s Nostrand Houses complex is getting over $600 million in pubic support to rehab almost 1,200 NYCHA apartments, which works out to over $500,000 a unit — even as the state and city deny private landlords’ needs to spend anything like that to get their vacant apartments up to code.
🔮 “Being first will better enable us to address those risks on behalf of the American people.”
🔮 Letting government “enforce monopoly” control of the new tech will only “threaten liberty” and “stifle innovation.”
