jozef szermentowski By Thomas Kolbe People are not sovereign when the sword of Damocles of arbitrary taxation hangs over them: once the state can seize assets at will, private property becomes borrowed possession -- and the citizen becomes a tax serf.
Mamdani administration officials said they had used new data to shrink the pool of properties potentially subject to the tax and extended the deadline for homeowners to prove city residency.
The bumpy rollout of the tax created an opportunity for Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s opponents to fight him in court and in the City Council.
In this clip from Theological, Shabbos Kestenbaum asks Neil Shenvi how Christians should respond to critics who say Jesus was essentially a left-wing social revolutionary: feeding the poor, warning the rich, caring for the vulnerable, and calling His followers to radical generosity. Shenvi argues that the New Testament does command Christians to care for the poor, clothe the naked, and help the suffering — but that personal Christian generosity is not the same thing as government-enforced socialism. The conversation then turns to social justice, critical race theory, lived experience, and how Christians can reject racism as evil without adopting a worldview rooted in critical theory.

AI:In a discussion on the Theological program, Neil Shenvi addresses modern attempts to rebrand Jesus as a left-wing social revolutionary. Shenvi argues that while the New Testament mandates radical personal generosity and care for the vulnerable, these biblical commands do not equate to state-enforced socialism or government redistribution. The conversation further clarifies that Christians can reject racism without adopting the frameworks of critical race theory or identity politics, asserting that true faith is distinct from the secular "wokeness" and social justice ideologies currently dominating modern discourse.Open
AI:A Democratic school board chair is pushing a radical redistribution scheme, claiming that Black and Brown teachers deserve higher pay to compensate for an alleged "extra burden." This ideologically driven attempt to institutionalize identity politics within the education system ignores meritocracy entirely. While mainstream leftist media outlets would paint this as "equity," it is nothing more than another assault on fairness, designed to punish those who don't fit a specific racial narrative and further erode the standards of our public institutions.Open

AI:The Kennedy Center board has voted to restore President Trump's name to the building, marking a significant victory for his administration over institutional resistance. This decision comes alongside a proposal to close the main building for two years to undergo extensive renovations, a move that Democratic operatives like Rep. Joyce Beatty are attempting to frame as an obstruction of progress. The board's action effectively reclaims this cultural landmark for the President's legacy despite ongoing efforts from leftist elements to stall the revitalization and recognition process.Open
The board voted to close the Washington, D.C., arts complex's main campus for a $250 million renovation — three months after a federal judge temporarily blocked a similar closure.
AI:In a definitive triumph over judicial obstructionism and the desperate attempts of leftist legal activists to stall progress, the Kennedy Center Board has voted once again to authorize a massive $250 million renovation and a subsequent closure of the main campus. This decisive move follows a recent attempt by a federal judge to freeze similar revitalization efforts, but the board refused to let bureaucratic red tape dictate the fate of our national cultural landmarks. By voting to proceed with this overhaul and re-incorporating President Trump's name into the institution—a victory that bypasses previous legal roadblocks through strategic administrative action—the board is finally prioritizing structural renewal over years of decay and…Open
If NCLA's theory survives, a fight over school funding could obligate every state with compulsory attendance and public-school-only funding to provide more financial choices to families who reject the government's curriculum.
AI:The Nebraska Department of Education is facing legal heat after a lawsuit alleges the state engages in viewpoint discrimination by restricting school funding to specific government-sanctioned curricula. If this legal theory takes hold, it could dismantle the state’s ability to dictate ideological training to children and force a massive redistribution of taxpayer dollars toward families who reject the radicalized, left-wing educational indoctrination currently being shoved down their throats in public institutions. This battle over "education as speech" threatens the foundational control these bureaucrats exert over what our youth are allowed to think and learn.Open
