Judges life tenure depends on "good Behaviour." Is this "good Behaviour?"
A judge bullies a lawyer she thinks is white, but is actually Latino, calling him a “chad” and “Mr. Social Media, Main Character Chad, White Hero, Savior, Loves to Help Black People Be An Ally.” The percentage of unhinged educated people one encounters these days is disconcerting. This account goes on and on. She doesn’t think she was out of line.

Take note Dems at the RI State House:
wild ruling out of Seattle that @PHLCouncil needs to read. a builder put $39M into 254 low-income apartments locked at 60% AMI for 30 years. from 2015 to 2018 it worked, collecting ~94% of rent.
then Seattle stacked on "tenant protections": banned criminal background checks, banned winter evictions, required 180 days notice for rent hikes + 3 months relocation pay, and forced the owner to let unscreened roommates move in and take over leases.
result: rent collections dropped from 93.9% to 44.1%!!! the building lost nearly $6M through 2023 ($2.7M in 2023 alone) and is now appraised as functionally worthless. the city bankrupted actual affordable housing lol.
the appeals court just ruled the owner can sue Seattle for an unconstitutional taking. when you strip a landlord's right to screen, collect rent or remove non-paying tenants, it's not "regulation" anymore, you took the building…. Philly has half these laws already 🙄 courts.wa.gov/opinions/pdf/8…

In Israel, Muslims had the highest voter turnout out of any group.
Under Palestinian rule, it’s literally illegal to sell land to a Jew.
Guess which is accused of apartheid?
I'll just say this: if someone ever invented an easily fastenenable hospital johnny . . . Unanimous choice for Nobel Prize in Medicine.

Israel was the first middle eastern country to give Muslim women the right to vote. They’re exercising it today and will likely sway the election. Israel is extraordinarily bad at apartheid and genocide.

Fabulous @TeviTroy settling old scores, and I’m here for it:
“For decades, conservatives in and out of administrations have bristled at the superior coverage that the squishes got in places like the Post. While they suspected that leaking played a role, the scale that Mr. Woodward has now described is shocking.” wsj.com/opinion/free-express…

BREAKING: Arab parties in Israel are celebrating election night, after securing the high number of seats in Israel's history.
The worst apartheid to ever exist.

For my latest, I quoted El-Sayed's exact statements that match the 'grocery' ad that everyone agrees is anti-Semitic. Just to be clear that you cannot find one acceptable and the other beyond the pale: commentary.org/seth-mandel/t…
