There are 1.1 million students in NYC public schools. The public school system there is a disaster; the NYT has supported policies that promote its failures. So the NYT is laser-focused on 50,000 students in private Hasidic boys schools. There's a reason for that.
The media's new war on Hasidic Jewry is merely a metastasized version of the old culture war against evangelical Christians: anyone who rejects the predations of Left-wing pseudo-morality must be targeted. That theme undergirds the NYT investigation.
I am very much in favor of solid English, math and science education for students of all stripes. But the NYT's specific focus is extraordinarily telling.

The merger of celebrity and politics is complete. There is no real cultural difference between Jennifer Lawrence, Meghan Markle and AOC. Their interviews are indistinguishable.
Yuval Levin: "the people who occupy our institutions increasingly understand those institutions not as molds that ought to shape their behavior and character but as platforms that allow them greater individual exposure and enable them to hone their personal brands."
This phenomenon actually began with Barack Obama, The Lightbringer™, who was treated as a full-scale celebrity by the media, and who acted as though he was outside the system he was supposed to be supporting and upholding.

Jennifer Lawrence, who does interviews with Vogue at Tikkun spa and reportedly has a net worth of around $160 million, complains about the incessant sexism of America. Also, she decided she was a liberal by watching "30 Rock." Yes, really. vogue.com/article/jennif…
The celebrity culture truly is a wonder. Vapid morons who say lines other people write, earn millions of dollars doing it, and get their political thoughts from sitcoms, lecturing the rest of us on our political ignorance.
If magazines like Vogue and The Cut were dedicated to Tom Wolfe-esque satire about celebrities, they wouldn't read any differently.

This image is the worst piece of presidential optics I have ever seen. Let us count the reasons.
1. Lighting a historic American site -- the site of our founding documents -- blood red.
2. The red-and-black background against the front-lit visage of a grim old man screaming at Americans, fists clenched.
3. Two Marines standing in the background, their faces in shadow, only their white-gloved hands visible.
4. The yellow window at the top of the photo, shedding a sickly pale light over the image.

Here is the Hillary Standard set by James Comey. People seem imputing to be a level of intent to Trump they denied with Hillary -- specious assumptions of "treason" or "espionage." The far simpler explanation is Trump just said "I like these documents and I want to keep them."
In any case, absent any actual evidence of such intent, Trump is not going down for "mishandling" classified information -- at least not without creating a massive legal double standard.

The Republicans are losing steam in the 2022 election. There are some reasons for this, the Democratic upswing in the wake of Dobbs being the most obvious factor. But there’s something else going on here that represents a deeper problem for the Republican Party.
The GOP is miscalibrating the very nature of the American political scene right now, based on a myth. In fact, the entirety of American politics is based on dueling versions of the same false mythology: the Mythology of the Emerging Democratic Minority Majority (MEDMM).
Democrats have banked on this myth since 2012, believing that it excuses their cultural and economic excesses; this is untrue, and has led them into an electoral box canyon as many minorities turn away from their woke progressive overreach.

Ladies, if you want to be truly feminist, you have to be a dumpy hag who won't shave her armpits. Any other choice is surrender to the patriarchy. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…
This piece is comic gold
"I'm fighting the patriarchy by listening to my father and also not changing my name to my husband's, which means I retain my paternal last name."
