Short Takes

Headline from nypost.com: “Black history museum known for ‘shackling’ white visitors set to get $1M from taxpayers: ‘Peak white guilt theater’.” Two wrongs make a right?

Even an ally sees the bias. From NYP: “NJ Dem says NY Times is on ‘Hamas’ payroll following Palestinian prisoner rape report.” Blinders off, oh Captain Video!

Excerpt from an NYP editorial: “The city spends roughly $37 billion a year to educate about 850,000 children — about $42,000 per child, per year — for results that are a national shame. Just give every mom $21,000 per year as a voucher for her child to attend whatever school she chooses and put the other $21,000 in a real account that over 13 years should generate $300,000 upon graduation.” Makes sense to me.

Headline from foxnews.com: “FBI reports largest drop in violent crime and murder since 1937 as homicides fall more than 18%.” Kudos. How will Dems and their mainstream media allies spin this — or will they simply ignore it?

World gone mad. From FN: “Demi Moore sparks ‘fascist propaganda’ backlash at Cannes after telling Hollywood to stop fighting AI.” And: “Graduation speaker praises AI, gets instantly booed.” Are detractors at least on board with the incredible medical advances?

The rhetoric makes it seem China will soon make a move on Taiwan. If so, will the response from the rest of the world be more than empty rhetoric?

Made the wrong choice today regarding the book shop, adhering to the forecast. No luck under the tracks on East 15th — and it didn’t rain. Fie!
