Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

New York Dems

 A couple of days ago, I noted the abject failure of Governor Hochul's congestion pricing for NYC. Today's example of feckless NY Democrats is Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. Now, I find it hard to believe he extended this invitation for Netanyahu to speak before Congress without approval from the White House, but who knows. Still, Netanyahu is part of a global illiberal Right that is really the opposite of everything the Democratic Party should stand for. And that's leaving aside his war crimes.

I absolutely support Israel's right to exist, but that does not mean I support every Israeli government and especially this one. This is another Own Goal.
