Baltimore's plan for "squeegee kids" fails almost
"As we’ve covered here extensively in the past, the City of Baltimore has been plagued for years by an army of so-called “squeegee kids” (many of whom are not “kids” at all) who extort money from commuters at intersections in the city’s downtown area.
Those who refuse to pay the extortionists are frequently subjected to vandalism, violence, or worse.
...The plan, when it was finally unveiled, was widely panned as being an ineffective sop in response to public anger.
He was going to establish “no squeegee zones” and have the police help the perpetrators find other productive work elsewhere...

The Coming Gas Stove Culture War - WSJ
- Don’t believe this week’s denials.
- Progressive Democrats really are coming for your kitchen appliances. By The Editorial Board
A sign of the media times is how quickly our leading progressive organs rally to deny that Democrats are doing what Democrats really are doing.
A classic example was this week’s flare up in the coming climate war over banning gas stoves.
A Biden appointee on the Consumer Product Safety Commission explicitly threatened to ban gas stoves based on dubious evidence of public-health harm.
A Biden appointee on the Consumer Product Safety Commission explicitly threatened to ban gas stoves based on dubious evidence of public-health harm.
“This is a hidden hazard,” said commissioner Richard Trumka Jr. “Any option is on the table. Products that can’t be made safe can be banned.”
- Progressive cities such as Berkeley, San Francisco and New York City have already banned gas stoves and other appliances in new buildings.
- New York Gov. Kathy Hochul this week proposed a ban on gas equipment including stoves in new small buildings in 2025 and larger ones in 2028.
- Come 2030, New Yorkers won’t be allowed to replace their gas stoves with new ones if they break down. “As you begin making a transition, everyone will have to switch out appliances,” a state official explained. This is how the left’s green-energy “transition” will work for all things.
- Come 2035, New Yorkers and Californians won’t be able to buy new gasoline-powered cars either....

Idaho school board shuts down parents, state senator objecting to transgender locker rooms | Fox News:
Idaho parents expressed outrage after their concerns over a proposed school policy that would allow biological boys to use girls' restrooms and locker rooms were shut down by the local school board. Brittany Gish, her daughter Gianna and Idaho State GOP Sen. Chris Trakel joined "Fox & Friends First" on Friday to discuss their fight against the proposed policy in the Caldwell School District. "They have no interest in hearing how the parents feel," Brittany said. "They have no interest in including us in their decisions. They are just tyrants, and they just want to push their agenda and do their own thing. They've proven that time and time again."

"MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell scolded a correspondent for using the term “pro-life” mid-report.
NBC News senior Capitol Hill correspondent Garrett Haake was detailing why Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) voted for two “anti-abortion bills” after telling the liberal network she wanted the GOP to focus instead on birth control access.
“She told reporters after the fact that at the end of the day, she was, as she described herself, ‘pro-life,'” Haake said of Mace.
Mitchell cut him off...
“Garrett, let me just interrupt and say that ‘pro-life’ is a term that they — an entire group wants to use. But that’s not an accurate description,” she said.

1st cousin of "merit" is the other great motivator, "shame".-----The Death of Merit
The Death of Merit
- America has always been a land of opportunity. That’s because our nation was founded as a meritocracy, the wellspring of excellence. This concept is central to American exceptionalism.
The reason is simple: recognizing merit means there will be winners and losers, a fact that motivates all of us to try harder with a belief in and reliance upon oneself.
- Those who exhibit greater merit - through hard work, resourcefulness, perseverance, innate aptitude and so forth - usually enjoy more success...
- The polar opposite of meritocracy is equality of outcome, which requires the entire society, save for political and cultural elites, to exist at the lowest common denominator.
It is the foundation of socialist and communist dictatorships, enforced through violence, because totalitarians know that living life at the lowest common denominator is contrary to human nature and natural law...
