This is very harsh: Usually judges protect each other like media hacks protect their fellow guild members.But this appeals panel is absolutely blasting this complete DEI incompetent.
Here’s the Times’s technique. The article is mostly a personal tale of woe, focusing on a single Oklahoma couple, Daryl Mason and Genia Weitz, who live in the town of McAlester. It seems that Mason and Weitz are facing completely unaffordable electricity bills in the wake of this summer’s heat wave.
At 14.33¢/kWh, $500 represents almost 3500 kWh of usage. The EIA has a “frequently asked question” page on this very subject, headed “How much electricity does an American home use?” Their answer is, on average, 899 kWh per month, or 10,791 kWh per year. Usage of 899 kWh in a month at 14.33¢/kWh will cost $128.83, not $500. Are we really to believe that Mason and Weitz use almost four times the amount of electricity used by an average household, while supposedly cramming themselves into one room, using a single air conditioner, and turning off the light and the ceiling fan to save on electricity, all as described in the article? It’s completely absurd.
“The state’s cash flows will have a pattern similar to that of the sale of a financial security: the state receives an up-front payment today from one narrow group of taxpayers in exchange for a lost stream of payments in the future,” the paper explains. The overall result will be a revenue loss of $38.9 billion to the state.Prop. 40 has already done damage, and if it passes, expect more pain than gain.
Prop 39 released a new ad today highlighting what politicians don’t want you to know: California is one of a handful of states that don’t require a photo ID to vote. Prop 39 is a battle of politicians versus people. Politicians want you to vote no. The People are voting yes. This ad is a parody, but the problem is not. The politicians want to protect their power and money. We want to give it back to you. Vote Yes on Prop 39. Donate: https://t.co/Y4MzbvVzfh

“I want to stay forever,” Bisono proclaimed on hour 16 in his new city.When Bisono and his roommate, Marino Ginebra, moved from Boston to Austin in September, they joined a growing club of emigres. Texas has become a top destination for those leaving Massachusetts, and young people in particular are exiting at an alarming rate, IRS data show. Bisono and Ginebra both came to Boston for college, worked in the city for a year, then decided to head south in search of cheaper housing, better weather, and a stronger entrepreneurial landscape for their fledgling supplement business. In Austin, they hope to find more job opportunities and a lifestyle more suitable for 20-somethings who are past the college partying stage but not yet settled down.
The parking lots are mostly vacant. Locked and dark, many of the buildings are lifeless but for dying plants in dusty pots. One of the few people visible is a white-bearded man on a riding mower, tending to an empty lawn as if by habit.This is not a factory or office park abandoned by its tenants. It’s Hampshire College, a once-celebrated liberal arts school that will shut down in December. That makes it the latest in a steady stream of colleges that are closing or merging, at a rate that last year reached the equivalent of nearly one every three weeks.
Multiple sources have confirmed to me that federal agents went dumpster diving to get DNA from Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and her family before the raid on her D.C. home earlier this week. Our reporting suggests investigations go far beyond simple immigration fraud.NewsNation sources say the likely coming indictments will be stunning in nature and far beyond anything the public has understood the case to be about.
Abdul El-Sayed’s mother—whom the left-wing Michigan Senate candidate has described as "smart, warm, charismatic" and whom he called on camera in a May campaign video—was active in the Muslim Brotherhood while in college in Egypt, a revelation that further contradicts El-Sayed’s recent claims that neither he nor his family have ties to the radical Islamist group.Eman Abdelhadi, a University of Chicago professor and El-Sayed’s half-sister, wrote about her mother and other family members’ ties to the Muslim Brotherhood in social media posts in June 2012, just after Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Morsi was elected president of Egypt.
Kristin Welker did not question Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed's deep family connections to the Muslim Brotherhood. She did instead what all left-wing "journalistic" activists do, give him an easy opportunity to deny the facts without any push-back that might cause him discomfort.
Jacqueline and the NYT have tracked down a disputed bakery bill from 6 years ago…but let James Talarico disappear this month for 12 days with no curiosity. Journalism is dead.

Finally, it is obscene because Mamdani is the mayor for about one million Jewish New Yorkers, many with close relatives in Israel, who deserve better on a day of grief than to be offered the equivalent of an “All Lives Matter” homily. This is yet another of the double standards through which modern-day Jew hatred manifests itself: Whenever antisemitism is mentioned in progressive circles, it is inevitably accompanied by nods about Islamophobia or other bigotries.It would be better to have a mayor who, if only on Oct. 7, can say: Jewish Lives Matter. Israeli Lives Matter. Full stop. The lectures about Gaza can come some other day.
I'm a College Professor. "Writing Isn’t as Important as We Think", writes Joe Cruz, chair of the philosophy department at Williams College in a New York Times commentary. It's not true that writing develops thinking skills, he agues [sic]. Cruz envisions universities in which "ideas are expressed in real time and analytical thought unfolds as a debate or an oral defense or a group discussion."That favors the glib, but not the thoughtful.
These people are just trolling now. My God.
Europeans have seen the heavy hand of government in a way that Americans, even blue-state Americans, cannot imagine. French local and national government spending makes up 57 percent of the country’s domestic product. In other words, taxpayers (or bondholders) pay for almost three out of every five euros of economic activity. Italy and Germany are at 50 percent. (The United States is at 38 percent.)That stifling bureaucracy makes starting companies in Europe hard and growing them next to impossible.The trend is most clearly seen in technology, where Europe is not even an also-ran.
