Selective enforcement of the law is tyranny. The arbitrary use of power based on personal or political likes or dislikes is something that nearly everyone should agree is morally abhorrent. That is what we have seen this week - not only with the malicious prosecution and indictment of President Trump, but with the underreported and swept aside stormings of two state capitols in Kentucky and Tennessee.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed an expansion of the state’s school voucher program this week, making it the fourth state in the nation to move towards universal school choice.  It’s an underreported story of our time, but we are in the midst of a revolution in the American educational system.  After declining for the better part of a century as the system became more centralized, the public school system is no longer seen as the only option for education.  Parents are looking for other ways, and many state governments are looking for alternatives. 

For close to 15 years, there has been reporting on college campuses throughout the nation that the Leftist indoctrination that targeted young minds in terms of Marxist economic policy and intersectional identity philosophy were putting a heavy emphasis on another topic that seemingly was irrelevant to them: the plight of the Palestinian refugees. The blame was immediately and ferociously aimed at the only Jewish state in the world: Israel. Defenders and supporters of Israel have, since then, been playing catch-up to this indoctrination, but the chickens have come home to roost. For the first time, Gallup polling shows that Democrats have greater sympathy for Palestinians than Israelis.

When families move to the suburbs, it comes with expectations of a quiet neighborhood, good schools, and low crime, among other things. Last November, voters on Long Island expressed their concerns about crime by electing Republicans on federal, state, and local levels, in protest of bail reform passed by Democratic lawmakers in Albany.

Over the last few months, yeshivos have come under fire in New York City with allegations that these Orthodox Jewish private schools fail to provide sufficient secular education. Some have called for increased regulation of these institutions. The criticism overlooks the valuable role yeshivos play in our communities. It is too easy to allow a generalization or misperception to define an entire community, and those falsehoods malign an entire people.

Three weeks ago, Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy gave 41,000 hours of footage from the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, to Fox News host Tucker Carlson. In the intervening time between then and Carlson’s revelations from the reviewing of those tapes, the Left has twisted themselves into knots, frightened of what those times will reveal about their years of lies about what happened that day. Democrats’ incompetence and propensity to cover-up their falsehoods turn a simple move by McCarthy into a Grandmaster-level chess move.
