New Yorkers Flee as Hochul Unveils New Property Taxes to Pay for Mamdani's Pricey Social Programs

New Yorkers Flee as Hochul Unveils New Property Taxes to Pay for Mamdani's Pricey Social Programs: 

As Mamdani and Hochul seek to fund the 34-year-old democratic socialist mayor’s spending agenda, they are facing the constant threat of wealthy taxpayers fleeing New York.

Some have indicated a willingness to relocate to Florida, Tennessee, and other states — many of which are led by Republicans — that do not have aggressive tax systems aimed at wealthy households.

Democrats are now spreading propaganda that Trump is anti-Catholic.

It’s remarkable how this always works and plays out the same way. - Daniel Jupp

• Leftists infiltrate and subvert something. 
• They kill it, skin it, and parade about in its skin while mouthing their propaganda.

Then if you object to this horrific treatment of something that once meant the opposite of what it is now saying and doing, you are ‘against the original thing’...

Mamdani is moving from one failed promise to another | Blaze Media

Mamdani is moving from one failed promise to another | Blaze Media: 

Three out of four young voters put this man in office. Voters who had lived in New York City less than five years backed him 85% to 14%. They voted for the TikTok version of governance: big promises, great optics, someone else's problem. Free buses sounded great in a Trevor Noah interview. City-owned grocery stores sound great at a rally in East Harlem. Governing eight million people with real money and real consequences? That's where the fantasy ends. New York City doesn't have a bus problem or a grocery problem. It has a mayor with a socialism problem. And unlike his buses, the bill is running right on schedule.

And the liberal's "outrage" is where?

 

Tone Is Not a Virtue | RealClearPolicy

There’s a certain class of commentator—overrepresented on cable panels and cocktail parties—that insists the central question of our moment is tone.  -  Heather R. Higgins

• Not outcomes. 
• Not deterrence. 
• Not whether fewer people die. 

Tone.
Which is how we end up in the peculiar position of litigating the president’s phrasing while largely ignoring the far more relevant question: does it work?...

How Big Pharma (Successfully) Targeted Women

Two waves of addiction were prescribed by doctors and egged on by pharmaceutical marketing — orchestrated by the Sackler family — that insisted it was safe and a great idea. - Matt Bivens, M.D.
Consider this sales pitch for the sedative medication Librium®, as published in 1969 in a medical journal (and thus targeted at doctors). 

• The advertisement featured an unsmiling young woman in a short coat, her arms full of books, who is identified as a new college student. 
• The accompanying text listed reasons she might need to be medicated...

Which "path" is best?

California has created the “Stop Nick Shirley Act” that would criminalize investigative journalism.

So instead of going after the fraudsters California is now going after the people exposing the fraud. - Nick Shirley
This bill AB 2624 will: 

• Criminalize journalists with misdemeanors, $10,000 fines, imprisonment, and content takedown
• Let immigrant based NGOs’ funding be confidential
• Take away freedom of the press from journalists
• Protect any “immigration support services” information from being public (healthcare, legal services, etc)...
