Governor Hochul and Mayor Adams penalize legal owners of firearms, while doing nothing about the real problem: illegal possession.
Confronting a rise in violent crime on streets and in subways of New York City, Governor Kathy Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams have set up a “gun-free zone” in Times Square, declaring the neighborhood off-limits to firearms. Laminated signs affixed to lampposts warn: “violation of this prohibition is a felony.”
They now seek to control all of society, not just the economy.
The primary fault line in our current political climate is that between a belief system rooted in law and policy championing the primacy of the individual and the various isms seeking societal advancement through collective action. This contest appears in political issues ranging from education to fiscal policy to sociocultural matters.
Twitter’s new owner Elon Musk says he had “no choice” but to slash the company’s workforce as the firm is losing more than $4m (£3.5m) a day.
Half of the company’s staff are being let go, a week after Mr Musk bought Twitter in a $44bn (£38.7bn) deal.
Twitter staff have been using the platform to talk about their dismissal.

The Biden administration is sitting idly by as the Iranian regime ratchets up, and keeps getting away with, both its attacks on its own fed-up populace, and its delivery of weapons to Russia — assisted, it seems, by China and North Korea.
In spite of US Special Envoy for Iran Robert Malley’s recently having said that the White House is not going to “waste our time” on the nuclear deal “if nothing’s going to happen,” he nevertheless stressed that the Biden administration is still committed to employing diplomacy, presumably to revive it at a later date.
A wounded combat veteran who served in Afghanistan told the Public Order Emergency Commission on Friday that he was arrested, beaten, and “dumped” far from downtown Ottawa without charges by police during the clearing operation of the Freedom Convoy protest on Feb. 18.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his government is weighing “all different options” when asked Friday whether Ottawa will seek to amend the use of the controversial notwithstanding clause.
Trudeau’s comments come as 55,000 Ontario education workers took to the picket lines on Friday in defiance of the provincial government, which passed a law Thursday pre-emptively using the notwithstanding clause to make job action “illegal.”
This week, video platform Rumble chose free speech over funds, leaving France after the government demanded that the platform increase censorship.
The Ron Paul Institute’s Daniel McAdams reported Wednesday, “Faced with French Government demands that free-speech video platform Rumble censor Russian news channels, the company’s CEO simply said ‘no.’ No more Rumble for France. It’s a brave example of how to resist ‘cancel culture.’”
If the convoy protesters built a medieval-style cathedral to their movement, Tamara Lich would surely get her own prominent stained-glass window, as their patron saint. It would depict a snow-swept downtown Ottawa street, with Ms. Lich, the self-described “mother hen,” surrounded by admirers offering tearful hugs and thanks for restoring their hope in a country that had gone badly awry.
Schools have run out of places for local children in entire year groups owing to the influx of migrants, councils and MPs have warned.
Families in Kent have been told there are no school places for 11 and 13-year-olds in Canterbury and Ashford because of the “unexpected” and “unplanned” arrival of migrant children in the two areas.
The council is having to pay to bus children who have missed out on places to other towns up to 25 miles away because of the shortage of places.

Dover migrant centre attack driven by right-wing ideology – police
The firebombing of an immigration processing centre was motivated by extreme right-wing terrorist ideology, police have said.

Liberals suffered a tragic loss when MSNBC suddenly and unexpectedly pulled the plug on Tiffany Cross, whose unapologetic, anti-white racism had drawn much criticism, with her former network colleague Joy Reid being among the most saddened.
Donald Trump is set to announce his third run for the US presidency after an anticipated return to power for the Republicans in Congress in Tuesday’s midterm elections.
His inner circle is discussing plans to launch his 2024 presidential campaign on November 14, according to the Axios news website, just two days after his daughter Tiffany’s wedding at his Mar-A-Lago club in Florida.
… This week’s hearings into the February convoy of the clueless showed us what happens when the inmates run the asylum, when the customers run the diner. The fries are greenish and the gravy is lumpy with bugs.
It’s happening in many places, most dangerously in the U.S. where ex-President Obama campaigning for the Democrats in Arizona finally became explicit, which sadly is not his way.
If the Republican candidates win, Obama told a rally, “democracy as we know it may not survive in Arizona. That’s not an exaggeration,” he added. “That is a fact.”
Guess who…
A week removed from the alleged attack on Paul Pelosi in his home, questionable reporting on the incident hasn’t abated. In fact, NBC News just “Jeffrey Epsteined” their own coverage and Fox News host Tucker Carlson led off his program with the most logical conclusion as to why.

The Canadian healthcare system is experiencing an acute shortage of basic painkillers, particularly acetaminophen and ibuprofen, which are commonly used to relieve pain and fever in children during flu season.
Canada’s Association of Medical Assistance in Dying Assessors and Providers (CAMAP) chose this perhaps awkward moment to roll out a webinar for healthcare professionals that advised them to offer assisted suicide to their suffering patients.
