The hemp ban is a major win for Trump and for kids: my latest in @NYPostOpinion:

Join us on November 19th to celebrate the release of @ScottJenningsKY new book, A Revolution of Common Sense: How Donald Trump Stormed Washington and Fought for Western Civilization. In this compelling work, Jennings examines how Donald Trump altered American politics and

Socialism used to be a dirty word. Now? Groups like the Democratic Socialists of America are growing in size and influence. @Rafa_Mangual, @DanielDiMartino, and @thestustustudio examine what the shift could mean for daily life in the U.S.

Zohran Mamdani's victory represents the culmination of years of concerted progressive political organizing. The left wing of the Democratic party—embodied in the DSA and WFP—now run the city. in @CityJournal's SS, I argue that the city's moderates need to start playing to win:

And there’s no question that the reform has made *those individuals* much more likely to reoffend. So next time you hear one of these so-called “progressives” spout this nonsense, remember that they’re full of it. \end\

To understand the effect of that refusal on safety, we need to look, not at what effect the reform had on those whose criminal histories did not indicate an elevated safety risk, but rather at the effect on those most likely to be held by judges if they had the authority.

When these reforms were proposed, the *main objection* centered on the refusal to lift the misguided prohibition on the judicial consideration of public safety risk in pretrial release decisions (NYS remains the only state in America that categorically prohibits this).

In other words, @SalazarSenate, @SenGianaris (and, no doubt, many others) have (again, predictably) misled their constituents by highlighting findings that fit their narrative while hiding those that undermine it. Here’s what you need to understand: (scroll down)

Some more for you…

But you don’t have to take my word for it. Just read the study for yourself: https://t.co/T1OCCLgRgW

Jesus Christ. Why are you guys so predictably wrong on this? The second I read this study, I *knew* people like @SalazarSenate and Co. would misrepresent it, which is why I wrote this and prepared the 🧾🧾. Read on 🧵👇🏽

The annual @CityJournal Award recognizes individuals who have pushed back against destructive ideas and inspired efforts to protect liberty and unleash the potential of all Americans. This year we are pleased to honor @benshapiro co-founder of the @realDailyWire.

Mao Zedong was so evil that he caused the only spike in the long-term global trend of declining child deaths since 1950:

New York City has lost nearly 87,000 K-12 students over the last five years; prekindergarten enrollment is down 8% this year alone. Downsizing the school system would help the city invest money more effectively while providing appropriate education to the students who remain.

Right on cue… “Defenders of New York’s bail-reform laws will undoubtedly tout the study’s findings showing it reduced recidivism in New York City. Narrowly speaking, this is true. But it leaves out key details. For example, the same study failed to detect any effect on

NEW: During one hiring cycle at Ohio State, 60% of new arts and humanities faculty jobs fell in the “DEI” category, according to emails I obtained. This was after OSU announced it would hire “100 underrepresented and BIPOC hires in all fields of scholarship.” 🧵on my latest.

New York City’s public schools are on an unsustainable path. Each year, the budget expands and enrollment drops, while the number of partially filled schools keeps growing. @ZohranKMamdani should plan to reduce the number of public schools, @dany_egorov argues.

NYC, the nation’s largest school system, continues to shrink. @dany_egorov advises @ZohranKMamdani to: 1. Close under-enrolled schools 2. Close under-performing schools 3. Rebalance the 32 districts I agree. https://t.co/vYheaLo8Dn

My latest for @CityJournal reacts to a recent study of New York State’s bail reform. “[W]e can’t ignore the study’s most important finding: when it came to high-risk defendants, ‘the reduced use of bail was consistently associated with worse outcomes.’”
