On Progressive Prosecutors Having Their Own Crime Problems:
 
 

"Earlier this week, a federal judge made a shocking charge: Larry Krasner, Philadelphia's district attorney for nearly a decade, may be guilty of 'perjury, conspiracy, or obstruction of justice.' Judge Paul Diamond referred Krasner and one of his top deputies, Matthew Stiegler, to the U.S. Attorney's Office to investigate potential federal crimes.

Krasner is one of the nation's most high-profile "progressive prosecutors" -- the far-left lawyers who won election to address 'injustice' in the 'criminal legal system.' Remarkably, Krasner is not the first or only such progressive prosecutor to get the unwanted attention of the feds. At least four others have found themselves in the spotlight. Perhaps it's worth asking: Why do these purported reformers seem to have so little respect for the system they're trying to run?"

On Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Macklemore Controversy:
 
 

"Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is outraged, so you know somebody did something right.

"Turns out that the hero is Robert Kraft, who said that Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour would no longer be welcome at his Gillette Stadium if Macklemore remained one of the opening acts -- because the rapper was using his stage time to preach hate.

"Kraft and other venue owners stood up after Macklemore took the stage at MetLife Stadium on Sept. 4 to explain that 'one of the main reasons' he wanted to join the tour was not to entertain the crowd, but 'to stand up here on stages and stadiums across America and say . . . Free Palestine.'"

On Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's Anit-American Crusade:
 
 

"Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney now believes he is more than just the Western foil to Donald Trump and his MAGA movement -- he is the global one. Accordingly, he seems determined to demonstrate to the world how to stand up to Donald Trump, to force Trump to lose the midterms, and to hurt the U.S. economy to such a degree that Trump will never again bully other nations.

"So, at the eleventh hour, Carney stormed out of an apparently completed tariff deal with the United States that would have privileged Canada over almost all of America's other trading partners. Canada, we recall, has enjoyed a $50 billion goods trade surplus with the United States for years in a supposedly free and equitable North American trade zone.

"Carney claimed that American proposals stripped away Canadian sovereignty and quashed Canadian culture, particularly French-Canadian culture. Yet he has not released the documents detailing the bilateral offers he rejected. Nor has he allowed his representatives to explain to the media why Canada blew up the negotiations at the last minute. Carney's ever-changing excuses, explanations, and invectives about what happened are incoherent and contradictory."

On Reporting by The New York Times:
 
 

"As the midterm elections approach, a lot of what appears in the press is best interpreted through a partisan lens. There's already a baseline level of negativity bias as editors and algorithms have optimized toward the tendency of humans to click on bad news. Between now and Election Day, the economic, technology, and geopolitical news will have a particularly grim cast as reporters race to try to convince readers that an economy with 4.1 percent unemployment, consumer spending up 4.5 percent year over year, and robust stock market gains is the second coming of a Great Depression, or at least 1970s stagflation.

"Yet even by the standard of partisan cheerleading, every once in a while -- okay, almost every day -- an article comes along that is so shameless in its Democratic Party advocacy that it's enough to make a reader laugh out loud, or at least engage in a visible eye-roll."

On 7-Hydroxymitragynine:
 
 

"I walked into a gas station last week and bought an opioid. Not something 'kind of like an opioid.' Not a supplement that makes you sleepy. An opioid, in the pharmacological sense, that hits the same receptor in your brain as oxycodone and fentanyl.

"To be clear this product would not test like an opioid -- which is a huge problem in and of itself. But our federal government explicitly refers to it as an 'opioid,' and for good reason.

"It is called 7-OH."

On 9/11 and How It Continues to Shape the U.S. Today:
 
 

"On that fateful day 25 years ago today, when Islamic terrorists used hijacked commercial airliners to strike at the heart of Western civilization and kill thousands, the skyline of New York City and America’s soul changed forever. The Sept. 11 attacks, the deadliest on United States soil in history, and their aftermath, have also essentially haunted every presidential administration since. And the echoes of those first post-9/11 months still shape the U.S. today."

On 9/11 and Advocate John Feal:
 
 

"On September 17, 2001, construction supervisor John Feal was working atop 'the pile,' helping clear the wreckage of the World Trade Center. As he guided trucks backing up to haul away twisted steel, an 8,000-pound beam suddenly broke loose, crashing onto Feal's foot.

"'Blood sprayed in every direction,' he recalls.

"When fellow rescue workers pulled off his boot, bones were protruding through his sock. 'I'll be back in a couple of hours,' Feal reassured everyone before being taken away by ambulance.

"He never returned to Ground Zero. Instead, he began a different battle -- one that would ultimately shape the lives of tens of thousands of people exposed to the toxic aftermath of 9/11."

On the Next Stage of Democratic Socialists' Movement:
 
 

"'You better get ready for ... war.' Across the country, radicals are openly planning for the next stage of their movement, and notably, the Democratic establishment is not part of their plans. Despite the talk of a 'Big Tent Party,' socialists are riding high on a surge of support and talking purges and revolution.

In Chicago, radicals gathered for a conference on Marxism during what many view as the heyday of socialism in the United States. The Democratic Socialists of America is now larger and more powerful than at any time in our history. Socialist candidates are winning elections across the country as Democratic establishment figures from Sen. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) to Gov. Gavin Newsom pander to the movement.

Speakers in Chicago used the conference to push supporters to the next stage in the movement, including some openly calling for violence and the end to capitalism."

On New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the Commemoration of the 25th Anniversary of 9-11:
 
 

"Zohran Mamdani was just nine years old when Al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four planes and plowed them into the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, in one of America's darkest days in history.

"But the man who is now New York City's first Muslim and socialist mayor will be front and center for the solemn 25th anniversary commemoration of the deadliest terrorist attacks on US soil.

"And his words and actions leading up to Friday's events are already stirring controversy and distrust."
