"There are more than 800 prisoners, including 27 transgender women, housed at the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women. 
The women became pregnant after engaging in "consensual sexual relationships with another incarcerated person," Dan Sperrazza, the Department of Corrections' external affairs executive director, told the news outlet.
...New Jersey in 2021 made it customary for prisoners who identify as transgender, intersex or nonbinary to be assigned a prison stay in line with their gender identity — not with the sex they were assigned at birth — because of a lawsuit filed in 2019 by a transgender woman who said she was forced to live in a men's prison for 1½ years...Read all.

Study: St. Paul's Rent Control Law Primarily Provides Benefits for High-Income Renters

Study: St. Paul's Rent Control Law Primarily Provides Benefits for High-Income Renters link
  • A new paper finds that lower income property owners are seeing the biggest falls in property values while high-income renters will get the biggest discounts on rent.
"...In November 2021, St. Paul, Minnesota voters passed an ordinance that limits annual rent increases citywide to 3 percent and includes none of the typical allowances or exemptions for inflation, vacancies, and new construction.
While the law doesn't kick in until May, rent control's surprise passage in the city saw developers pull permit applications, financiers walk away from projects, and city officials rush to amend the terms of the law. 
...But a new paper published in March on SSRN by University of Southern California Marshall School of Business professors Kenneth Ahern and Marco Giacoletti contends that 
  • the poorest tenants will see relatively few benefits from the new law. 
  • Instead, the two argue that the pattern of falling property values in St. Paul after the passage of rent control shows that better-off renters will reap the biggest gains from the law..."

"There’s a chap called Tobias Ellwood who’s spent the past week doggedly promoting his latest idea to save Western civilization. 
“From a military perspective,” Ellwood explained during a recent speaking engagement, it’s never been more urgent to impose a “humanitarian sea corridor” off the coast of Ukraine. 
  • This would involve an outright naval intervention by NATO in the Black Sea — with the objective being to prevent Russia from seizing control of the strategically important city of Odesa.

Conservatives aren't the extremists for saying we shouldn't radically change everything. By definition, a true conservative cannot be an "extremist," because we believe in conserving the things that work and are important. A true extremist, however, pushes the adoption of new ideas that have yet to be tested — which is what the far left in this nation continues to do.

Should be funny. It isn't!

More than a dozen Los Angeles gangs are targeting some of the city’s wealthiest residents in a new and aggressive manner, sending out crews in multiple cars to find, follow and rob people driving high-end vehicles or wearing expensive jewelry..."

Never forget, the Swampers send their kids to PRIVATE SCHOOLS!-----Report Highlights Cost of Pandemic School Closures, Limited Effectiveness of Lockdowns

Report Highlights Cost of Pandemic School Closures, Limited Effectiveness of Lockdowns link
(The Center Square) – A working paper that examined how U.S. states responded to the COVID-19 pandemic found that states with strict lockdowns and other COVID-19 policies did little to prevent COVID-19 deaths, but those economic restrictions and school closures proved costly in other ways...
  • “One study found that school closures at the end of the previous 2019-2020 school year are associated with 13.8 million years of life lost
  • An [National Institutes of Health] analysis found that life expectancy for high school graduates is 4 to 6 years longer than high school dropouts,” the authors wrote. “The [Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development] estimates that learning losses from pandemic era school closures could cause a 3% decline in lifetime earnings, and that a loss of just one third of a year of learning has a long-term economic impact of $14 trillion.
The report noted that, “Unlike mortality or economic outcomes, closing public schools was entirely under the control of policymakers. 
Almost all private schools were open...Read all!!!”

We are living in Renaissance America. That is not a compliment. It's a regression.

Facebook  Harriett Lublin
"I've said it often and it bears repeating. 
We are living in Renaissance America. 
That is not a compliment. 
It's a regression. 
We have abdicated our rights as citizens because we couldn't be bothered to govern ourselves. 
We threw away a gift generations dreamed and died for, in the name of comfort and private pursuits that we are now going to lose forever due to our own neglect. 
In the past few decades we allowed representative government to mutate into an aristocracy. 
  • Congress is a new class of nobility, the Supreme Court is an appointed priesthood interpreting sacred texts according to its whims, and presidents have power that emperors didn't dare dream of. 
  • Our politicians see themselves as "leaders" and not holders of a temporary and revocable public trust. They see us as clay to be molded, problems to be solved, or sources of revenue to be milked. 
We are becoming subjects, and forgetting how to be citizens. 
This was never meant to happen. 
It shouldn't have happened. 
And the corruption of the republic, with its bankruptcy of spirit, morals and ethics, has been revealed amid the resurgence of war, plague, and superstition. 
Will there even be a reformation in our lifetimes?
