The issue is that they need it to seem they're overwhelmed so as to get the federal authorities to dam Texas from sending any extra buses their means.” DC Mayor Muriel Bowser and NYC’s Eric Adams “wish to posture about how welcoming their cities are to illegals. Now they’re experiencing the real-world penalties of their insurance policies. As an alternative of whining about how ‘inhumane’ [Texas Gov. Greg] Abbott’s bus program is, they may wish to carry the issue to Joe Biden’s workplace as a substitute.”

Libertarian: CDC’s Ache Downside

The Facilities for Illness Management and Prevention in 2016 “issued tips that discouraged medical doctors from prescribing opioids for ache and inspired legislators to limit the medical use of such medicine,” assuming “overprescribing was answerable for rising drug-related deaths,” notes Cause’s Jacob Sullum. However a brand new Frontiers in Ache Analysis research “finds no correlation between opioid prescriptions and drug-related deaths.” Certainly, there’s been a document variety of opioid-related deaths, “primarily involving illicit fentanyl,” regardless of “the sharp decline” in prescribing. The “penalties for sufferers” embody “undertreatment, reckless ‘tapering’ of ache medicine, and outright denial of care.” However the CDC nonetheless pushes its false narrative.

Rufo. The nationwide GSA Community “is a professionally staffed nonprofit with a multimillion-dollar annual funds” that “is pushed by pure left-wing radicalism that extends far past sexuality” because it “requires the ‘abolition of the police,’ the ‘abolition of borders and ICE,’ . . . the top of ‘international white supremacy,’ and the overthrow of the ‘cisgender heterosexual patriarchy.’” The “cult-like programming methods” inform children to find themselves on an influence scale “alongside the axes of race, intercourse, gender, and nationwide origin,” then inform the ‘privileged’ youngsters that they need to . . . ‘use your privilege (and your bodily and financial assets) to help Trans, Queer, Non-binary / Gender Non-Conforming, Black, Indigenous individuals of shade, points, companies, and initiatives.’” And: “All this exercise, the group believes, is finest saved secret from mother and father.”

Terror desk: Rushdie Assault Reveals Iran Menace

“Likelihood is exceptionally excessive,” argues The Federalist’s David Harsanyi, that the stabbing of novelist Salman Rushdie “was the work of a jihadist.” Ayatollah Khomeini’s 1989 fatwa over Rushdie’s “The Satanic Verses” was “the primary time in postwar historical past” that “terrorism was aimed toward suppressing free expression within the liberal Western world” — “not solely to punish Rushdie for blasphemy, however to intimidate others from daring to interact.” And “it labored.” So “we should always not neglect, even because the Biden administration is attempting to strike one other sweetheart deal” with Iran, “that that is the work of the theocratic terror state of Iran” — “the fatwa nonetheless stands at present.” In actual fact, “in 2016, Iran raised it to just about $4 million.”

“Ideological litmus exams have gotten the norm” in academia, laments John Sailer at UnHerd. “Many universities require school job candidates to submit ‘range statements,’” and “related necessities more and more apply to sitting school,” as range, fairness and inclusion statements “turn out to be customary parts of the promotion and tenure course of.” Certainly, “‘anti-racism’ has come nearer to a proper” situation of employment. At UC Berkeley, job candidates get a low rating on range statements for stating “the intention to disregard the various backgrounds of their college students and ‘deal with everybody the identical.’” Such necessities “dissuade school from expressing” their political views and could also be unlawful however nonetheless “proceed to be adopted.” Teachers might quickly “count on a selection: exhibit a dedication to the ‘successor ideology’ or begin in search of one other job.”
