Hot Air, quoting from WABC 77:

New York City mayoral contender Zohran Mamdani has depicted himself throughout his career as a staunch advocate of women's rights.
But a 77 WABC review of Mamdani's writings has revealed that when he could have personally intervened as a private citizen and a man to stop a series of brutal rapes and sexual assaults, he declined to do so because of "woke," political correctness concerns.

Mamdani, who is now 33, was a student in Cairo in 2013, when protests broke out against Egypt's then-Islamist Muslim Brotherhood regime.
Large numbers of women were involved in the protest, and according to Human Rights Watch, up to 91 women were raped or sexually assaulted in just four days.
The wave of attacks was documented at the time by major news media, including PBS Newshour and Euronews.
In a piece for his college newspaper about his time studying in Cairo, Mamdani wrote that at those protests, women "had to contend with the very real threat of sexual harassment and assault, especially at night."
He namechecked two groups of civilian volunteers engaged in blocking, stopping, and reporting rapes, and said he "thought of volunteering."
However, Mamdani declined to intervene to stop rapes and sexual assaults not because of concerns about his own personal safety, or legalities, but rather because he concluded that "that the last thing Egyptians needed was a well-meaning foreigner's assistance."

The Supreme Court is hearing arguments over Colorado's "anti-conversion" law. The law is being used to claim that the Transgender Pipeline can only go in one direction: Under Colorado law, parents and teachers and other authority figures are only allowed to encourage gender "transition" and may never counsel against it.

The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on Tuesday in Chiles v. Salazar, a case challenging Colorado's ban on certain forms of counseling for youth experiencing gender dysphoria. The stakes couldn't be higher for vulnerable young people and their families.
We make unlikely co-authors. Tyler Deaton leads American Unity Fund, which advocates for LGBT rights within conservative circles. Ryan T. Anderson leads the Ethics and Public Policy Center, applying Judeo-Christian moral tradition to law and culture. We've frequently disagreed -- sometimes profoundly -- on questions of marriage, sexuality, and religious liberty.
Yet we've joined forces to file an amicus brief in this case because we share a fundamental conviction: Children struggling with gender dysphoria deserve compassion, individualized attention, and comprehensive mental healthcare, not a system that pushes only one predetermined outcome.
Colorado's 2019 law -- versions of which have been passed by over 20 other states -- prohibits mental health professionals from providing any counseling that doesn't "affirm" a minor's stated "gender identity." In practice, this means therapists can only validate a child's desire to pursue sex change interventions, whether social, medical, or surgical; they cannot explore underlying issues, address co-occurring mental health conditions, or help children find ways to understand themselves that don't include medically or surgically modifying their developing bodies.
...
This law isn't protecting children from harmful therapies. It's guiding them onto a medical conveyor belt that itself exposes them to serious risks of fundamentally experimental interventions that carry serious risks: impaired cognitive function, infertility, reduced bone density, and other lifelong health consequences.
...
But the Colorado law has backfired in tangible ways that are hurting the very population it's claiming to protect; many of the therapists being silenced are themselves part of the LGBT community whose professional goal is to help the next generation of LGBT youth grow into healthy and successful adults. Instead, their businesses are being put under a microscope and damaged, ultimately resulting in fewer children having access to help and guidance when they most need it.

The illegal alien who repeatedly did the thing that never ever happens -- vote in US elections -- and who was charged with illegal possession of a weapon and then got hired to be Des Moines' Superintendent of Schools, also turns out to have, get this, faked his credentials. Even the propaganda mill NYT now admits he was not just a criminal, but a fraud:

Red flags would pop up: The district learned about a past brush with law enforcement and a misstatement on his résumé about where he had earned a doctorate. But Des Moines officials moved ahead to hire him. Two outside companies were involved in vetting Dr. Roberts, who told district officials and a state licensing board that he was a United States citizen.
Nobody seemed to realize that he was lying, and that the man seeking to run Iowa's largest school district was not allowed to work in this country.

No, they knew it. It's just that the disgusting Race Marxists have set up a system in which to ever even suspect a black man has committed an infraction is a crime in itself. Therefore, no one ever dares to do the most basic and fundamental checking.

Dr. Roberts was a smart and ambitious educator who sought out tough assignments and earned the respect of students and colleagues, the review found.

Lie, of course. He received a middling/poor evaluation of "Meets Expectations," the middle "C" grade in an industry where you know that almost everyone gets Gentlemen's A's.

But it also revealed a pattern of lying and embellishment that helped propel Dr. Roberts into positions of authority, and a series of oversight failures that allowed his ruse to flourish.
...
ICE said that Dr. Roberts entered the United States on a visitor's visa in 1994, when he was in his 20s. He traveled in and out of the country, and was arrested in New York in 1996 on drug charges and in 1998 on a charge of unauthorized use of a vehicle, according to ICE. The outcome of the drug case was unclear, and ICE said the vehicle case was dismissed. Records of those arrests were not publicly available.
The arrests did not prevent Dr. Roberts from receiving a student visa in 1999, which granted him legal status in the United States until 2004. After receiving a bachelor's degree from Coppin State in 1998, he enrolled at St. John's University in New York, where he competed on the track team and received a master's degree in education in 2000. The following year, he applied to become a permanent resident of the United States, but was turned down.
...
But as questions spread about Dr. Roberts, a deeper review of his background revealed that he lied, stretched the truth or made public statements that could not be verified on a range of issues.

When Dr. Roberts applied for the Pennsylvania job, he claimed to have a doctorate from Morgan State University. Though he was enrolled at Morgan State for several years, university officials said he never received that degree. His claim of a Morgan State doctorate was repeated on his initial application in Iowa, though his résumé was amended after the consulting firm discovered the discrepancy.
An article on the Des Moines Public Schools website said Dr. Roberts received a master's degree from M.I.T., which said it had no record of his enrollment. And Dr. Roberts also said on job applications that he was named "D.C. Principal of the Year" by George Washington University, though the university said it had no record of giving such an award to anyone.
Election records in Maryland showed that someone with Dr. Roberts's name and other identifiers was registered to vote there as a Democrat. State officials told local news outlets that there was no record of Dr. Roberts actually voting. Only American citizens can vote or register to vote.

LOL, sure, NYT.

It turns out, the woman who hired him -- who is also, Darrius "Sweetdick" Honeycum, Esq.-style rumored to be fornicating with him as well -- also faked her credentials.

Basically, she got an easy-peasy "EdD." degree, the same one the idiot Jill Biden got. It's not a Ph.D. It is not a doctorate.

To launder that easy Ed. D. into a fake doctorate, she took "postdoc" courses at an online "university." This required ten hours of coursework and a payment of just $1,500.

And then, abracadabra, now she's a Doctor.

@LauraPowellEsq
Nicole Price, Ian Roberts's employer and alleged lover, has claimed to have done "post-doctoral studies" at Stanford, after having obtained a doctorate of education (EdD) from a for-profit, online university.
For those not familiar with the term, "post-doctoral studies" (aka "postdoc") is a position focused on advanced research after obtaining a doctorate and before entering academia. An EdD is a professional degree, unlike a researched-focused PhD, so it would be uncommon to pursue a postdoc after an EdD. It would also be surprising for someone with a doctorate from an online institution to score a postdoc at Stanford.
Her CV tells a different story about her Stanford studies. It says she obtained a certification in "Diversity and Inclusion for Organizational Excellence" at the Stanford School of Business. This is a 10-hour, self-paced, online course, currently priced at $1,500.
Perhaps Price misunderstands the term "post-doctoral studies," believing it just literally refers to any study undertaken after a doctorate. But someone so unfamiliar with academia has no business presenting herself as a "doctor."
Ian Roberts has also falsely claimed to have completed "post-doctoral," at Harvard in his case. (There is some indication he completed a summer program for educators at Harvard.) It seems likely they one of them gave the other the idea to use this sophisticated-sounding term to misled people about their credentials.
The proliferation of online degrees, accessible to anyone willing to pay, has destroyed the prestige of higher education.

Speaking of DEI hires with no qualifications:

A New York City man told former CNN host Don Lemon that he supported President Donald Trump's deportation efforts during a livestream on his YouTube channel on Sunday.
The Trump administration has endeavored to keep the president's campaign promise of conducting large-scale deportation operations, with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirming that it will not slow down even amid the ongoing federal government shutdown. During the interview on Lemon's channel, the man said he had been yearning for a president to conduct deportations like Trump, even as the former CNN host claimed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was allegedly brutalizing migrants.
"I feel good about them," the man said when Lemon asked for his feelings about the ICE raids taking place. When Lemon followed up by asking the man if he desired a crackdown, he said he would like the administration to ramp up even more.
"Been wanting it for years -- all my life," he said.
Lemon asserted without evidence or context that ICE was "roughing people up," which the man made clear he did not support.
"At the same time, get them out of here. Get them all out of here, please and thank you," the man said. "Trump four more years for that. Just for that."

Mark Hemingway is dead wrong on this.

The Democrat Party and the broader Prog/Left movement absolutely does *not* have a "violence problem" and saying that it does is a dangerous mistake.

The Party doesn't have a "violence problem" anymore than a dissipated alcoholic has a "drinking problem." Terrorism is central to their worldview. It's a core component to their identity. They don't have a mere "violence problem" that can be solved by changing some part of the message or nibbling at the edges. Terrorism is the nucleus at the center, around which all else orbits.

Well, Max. When someone wants to abuse their power, they call a few of their commie buddies and pass a law in the dead of night while no one is watching. People have to suffer under that law for years and years until someone with balls finally sues the shitheals and gets the Supreme Court to overturn it.

55 Katie Porter, who wants to run to replace Gavin when he's term-limited, just had a meltdown when asked by a reporter on camera, how she intends to win over the 40% of Trump voters in California. Her response was basically "I don't need them, I don't care about them, and I'm not goiog to waste my time with them." Paraphrased, but watch the video.

She's right. And that degree of insulated political monoculture is why California is now nationally irrelevant. It is insane, it is under Party rule, its electoral votes will go to the Party's candidate. It's all known in advance and as predictable as the sunrise, with a fully-developed system that maintains it no matter what.

So the Party has California permanently, and as a result California doesn't matter. "What will California think" doesn't enter anyone's mind, and "what can California do to shift opinion or policy on X, Y or Z" always has the same answer: "nothing."

California is nationally irrelevant now, and the reason for it is the same reason Katie Porter is correct.

Works in Oregon. For almost any contentious candidate or issue, Portland's county votes one way, the rest of the state votes the other way, and Portland wins, due to the North Korean-level amount of support for the Left in Portland.

They are the party of murder, baby-killing, child-mutilation and kid-fucking. Definitely not an honorable opponent. However, I would say that direct threats of and incitement to violence have long been considered outside the realm of free speech protection, and their assemblies are neither peaceable or peaceful. Rioting, burning, shooting, vandalism, assault, theft, harassment, and physically interfering with the legitimate execution of law enforcement duties are not protected first amendment activities.

>>By the end of four years, we might see 10 million fewer illegals. That would be just HALF the illegals in the country.

>>It's a start.

I think the pace will pick up over the next 3 years. It took a few months to spool things up including staffing but by the end of this year they should be a well oiled machine. And the heat will be building on illegals as they lose benefits and employment opportunities.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see closer to 15 million by then end of Trump's term.

Probably, but a lot less than...oh, I don't know...the Belgians did to the Congo for example, BUT, the bottom line is that when the Indians wanted independence, The British gave it to them. Without a fight. Which many other countries... China?...Russia? etc wouldn't have given them without a bloodbath.

In the video I've seen the "protestors" who are crying excessive force are doing things like throwing objects at ICE, physically assaulting officers, standing in front of ICE vehicles, and attempting to interfere physically with effecting arrests. These aren't people just standing on the sidewalk shooting video, or even standing on the sidewalk shooting video and talking shit. In a lot of these cases, the ICE officers have shown a great deal of restraint, even though there was clear probably cause to arrest them on the spot.

The British Empire justified in one statement:

"Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile.

But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property.

My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed.

Let us all act according to national customs."

They absolutely did. (for those paying attention my comment #16 was an attempt to get into Mamdani's head)
What the Timurids were, were a Central Asian dynasty which treated India as a vast plantation. The Timurids had got kicked out of Asia and wanted it back. For that they needed to pay and supply their troops.
source - Richard Eaton, India in the Persianate Age: 1000-1765
It was noted by Portuguese, French, and English visitors that although it sucked to be poor back in Manchester or Oporto or wherever; that was nothing compared to how brutal conditions were under the Mughals.

182 The Ts are castrating the Gs. I don't know why this important lawsuit can't state the case plainly. It isn't just "health issues," as they seem to be putting it:

"...a medical conveyor belt that itself exposes them to serious risks of fundamentally experimental interventions that carry serious risks: impaired cognitive function, infertility, reduced bone density, and other lifelong health consequences."

They are transing the gay away. The boys who have "gender dysphoria" are the same-sex attracted boys who would grow up to become gay men.

The groomers catch them young, before they have any idea what gay culture is (any understanding that it is all about the dick), and tell them: "don't worry, you were just born in the wrong body, but we can fix that by cutting your dick off (surgically and/or chemically)," cutting them off forever from participation in the dick-centered culture where their would-be partners are all to be found.

I guess they don't want to try to explain that to a bunch of crusty old justices, but the "need to hear both sides" argument is even stronger when the only side that is currently allowed to speak is perpetrating such a cruel deception on naive youth.
