"New York State’s new budget includes changes to the bail and discovery laws but has no mention of a provision sought by both Democrats and Republicans: a policy allowing judges to consider the dangerousness of a suspect when deciding on setting bail or whether to incarcerate before trial...New York has never had a dangerousness standard, making it unique in the United States."

“Why are they doing this? It should be clear to anyone paying attention that there are people inside the administration who don't give a damn about providing equal access to education. They expect low-income parents and children to wait until they can provide you with their system controlled "utopia." If your child ends up with a poor education in the meantime, that was just a sacrifice for the "greater good.””

“In the jihadist narrative, Afghanistan is where jihad starts. It’s the easternmost Islamic land and they think the savior will be born in this part of the world. And then will start going west, from central Asia toward Jerusalem, from where they want to “liberate” the rest of the world. This is why they are not starting their efforts in the Gulf region or anywhere else, because ideologically jihadist narrative inside radical Islam starts from this region.”

Zuhdi Jasser, founder and president of American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD) and co-founder of the Muslim Reform Movement said, “I am certainly not a fan of ‘cancel culture,’ but there’s a limit to what corporations can promote. Sarsour regularly traffics in grotesque antisemitism and is a leading supporter of the BDS movement which is essentially dedicated to the economic destruction of the state of Israel. Her radicalism was even too toxic for the Women’s March which booted her as co-chair.”

“Kalla cited CNN’s lack of significant coverage of the Abraham Accords, the Trump-brokered peace agreements among Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.“Fox News covered this really major accomplishment about 15 times more than CNN did,” Kalla said. “We saw how much both networks are encouraging in this partisan coverage filtering. It’s not about one side, it’s about the media writ large.” Stelter offered some pushback, telling Kalla: “I think you’re engaging in some both-sides-ism there, Josh.” “Not trying to lay out a moral equivalency,” Kalla replied. “It’s not about what an objective standard is. It’s really about how all networks do engage in this.” The professor added: “And in order for viewers to get a realistic picture of the world, we need viewers to see all types of information.””

“These are not cases in which the concept of “authority” has itself vanished, but rather in which offices invested with authority are now occupied by those who reject the established meaning and purpose of the law. They do not seek to protect the public from predators, but to elevate the predators to immunity from lawful interference…Those who once denounced mindless conformity to society’s standards are now demanding mindless conformity to their own edicts.”

“The Obama/Biden presidencies are practically inseparable. They have been disasters for the world’s superpower, and textbook examples of leadership failure and the perils of appeasement. They both saw fit to begin their presidencies by casting out the very same bust of Sir Winston Churchill from the Oval Office. Clearly, neither possess the Churchillian grit, spirit or courage to lead the free world with strength or conviction.”

”American taxpayers should not be subsidizing an industry that has shown what the DOJ calls "blatant disregard" for federal wildlife laws. It's especially relevant right now; the prosecution of [NextEra Energy] is coming to light at the same time that the wind industry is lobbying to extend, yet again, the federal production tax credit, which expired at the beginning of this year. The PTC, which was supposed to be a temporary subsidy, has been extended 13 times and is now the single most-expensive energy-related provision in the tax code. The Justice Department's April 5 press release on the agreement with the company reads like an indictment: It says that NextEra repeatedly ignored warnings from federal authorities that its proposed wind projects would kill eagles. Despite the warnings, the company went ahead with the projects.”

“The resulting imbalance — with conservatives united in their support and liberals largely divided — helps explain why the GOP is leaning into the “Don’t Say Gay” debate as it seeks to rally its base and drive a wedge between Democrats ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.”

“A congressman who ran on a promise of giving constituents full-time representation has been absent from the Capitol for most of this year, according to a new report. Rep. Kai Kahele, D-Hawaii, has rarely shown up for work in Washington, D.C., this year, only casting five votes in person over the course of three days in January, according to an analysis from the Honolulu Civil Beat. The rest of his 120 votes were cast by proxy, which means a colleague voted on his behalf while he stayed back in Hawaii.”

“The Great Elon Musk panic of 2022 is revealing a big fat boatload of blue-check hypocrites…the current version of Twitter is the professional journalist’s idea of Utopia: a place where Donald Trump doesn’t exist, everyone with unorthodox thoughts is warning-labeled (“age-restricted” content seems to be a popular recent scam), and the Current Thing is constantly hyped to the moronic max. The site used to be fun, funny, and a great tool for exchanging information. Now it feels like what the world would be if the eight most vile people in Brooklyn were put in charge of all human life, a giant, hyper-pretentious Thought-Starbucks.”
