In the City Journal, E.J. McMahon bemoans New York Governor Kathy Hochul’s plan to distribute “inflation refunds” of surplus sales tax revenue to middle/lower-income state residents. Inflation-indexing the state’s income tax code, McMahon notes, would be fairer and more effective – as well as ongoing – but instead Hochul is doling out one-time cash to her voting base.

Javier Milei Shows how it’s Done

The “chainsaw” taken by Argentina’s new-ish president, Javier Milei, to his battered nation’s bloated bureaucracy, catastrophic finances and – perhaps most important – failed leftist governing dogmas has worked magic. As David Harsanyi notes in Jewish World Review, Argentina’s public service has shrunk by tens of thousands, the budget is nearly in balance, inflation has plunged, trade is reviving and wages are inching up. The lessons for Canada and the U.S. are clear.

The New American Frontiers

Sumantra Maitra in The American Conservative illuminates the revival of American expansionism spearheaded by the new President. But this 21st century version, Maitra points out, is of a particular and limited scope: improved continental security, notably through a possible purchase of Greenland, and tighter ties with fellow members of the “Anglosphere”.

Women in Combat – But Not Swimming

Noting the clear proof that women in sports cannot stand up to the battering inflicted upon them by genetically and physically male “trans” women, Ann Coulter on her Substack wonders why leftist women – including prominent Democrat politicians – continue to insist that women are the equal of men in army combat, policing and firefighting. The L.A. wildfires, America’s wildest female columnist notes, should end that conversation.

Disorder Begets Disorder; A Case for Broken Windows Policing

In the City Journal, John McMillian revives the case for the “broken windows” theory of policing, which emphasizes dealing with minor offences such as disorderly behaviour because, if left unpunished, such violations beget more and worse crimes. McMillian retells the history of broken windows’ stunningly successful implementation in New York City in the 1990s – and calls for the policy to be applied once again.
