No, Cuomo’s rent plan makes no sense. Even after a week of thinking about it! No, it probably doesn’t matter either way. city-journal.org/article/andrew…

Neither is financial engineering for sake of financial engineering. NYCHA properties carry massive capital:operating deficits. Either address these deficits or someone has to pay them. trendy “innovative” program based on demolition (destroy an asset to save it)!) doesn’t fix.

Maximum pressure on Putin is the only way to win a fair deal in Ukraine, writes AEI's @daliborrohac.bsky.social 🇺🇦🌮. nypost.com/2025/08/17/opi…

I'm a fiscal conservative, but I will not stop beating the drum on the cuts to PEPFAR - one of the greatest humanitarian successes in world history. It has saved 20 million lives at a cost of 0.1% of federal spending - or less than 2% of OBBBA. A rare smashing policy success.

We have three people each claiming that the other two should drop out. On polling and baggage, Sliwa has equal standing to make this claim as the other two do. nypost.com/2025/08/19/opi…

The Gaston DA, who refused multiple requests for comment, is belatedly insisting motive behind these charges was to stop drug use. DA presented no evidence of this in the indictment, and marijuana found in Jenkins's pocket upon arrest was valued at $1. charlotteobserver.com/news/local/cri…

Even conservatives -- especially conservatives! -- believe in due process. If there was/is evidence to charge the parents with being drunk/high on day they allowed 10yo&7yo to cross neighborhood road, present it. That would involve neglect of surviving children that day, too.

Would be great if we had two McKinsey partners with 2.1 children charged with manslaughter &hit with $1 million bail for letting kids cross badly designed road. We don't. We have two highly imperfect people who were vulnerable to overcharging &are now vulnerable to retaliation.

Notable counter to the reporting on a record number of cops leaving the NYPD: a bunch of cops are also coming in.

This is my neighbor, which tried &failed to get an after-hours renovation permit under false pretenses from Adams admin in Dec 2022 (&backed off at slightest attention). Poor building, which is pretty, doesn't fit into nabe, a legacy of another generation's central planning ...

Centrally planned office towers and districts become obsolete in NY very quickly. WWP was the Hudson Yards of its time. (I'm actually fond of the building's exterior; like a baby, it looks beautiful when it is asleep.)

I never understood the controversy over this charge. This X post was clearly incitement to potentially deadly violence, not protected under any speech regime, and this person was educated/intelligent enough to know it. No there there. thetimes.com/uk/media/artic…

This is socialism ... imagine if Mamdani said NYC should have a 10 percent stake in JPMC! nytimes.com/2025/08/22/tec…

As for disparate impact (punishing a conservative where you wouldn't punish a liberal), if you're worried about disparate impact for a crime you are about to commit, then don't commit the crime. Don't do it, no disparate impact, problem solved.

You hafta to schedule your emails, because it's a fine line ... 4am emails are from unhinged people who can't sleep, 5am emails are from productive time-efficient early risers.

Nobody cares what you can lift or not. These guys are unable to not lose to Mamdani. nypost.com/2025/08/24/us-…

It’s fine and fun to point out that the UK and France economies are disasters, but the whole US economy right now is based on Trump inlaws buying leveraged crypto and a bunch of power hungry data harvesting and regurgitating operations? Go feegure…

Why not just let the public directly vote? Since we are nation of debtors, we’ll have negative rates! (Again!)
