[ad_1] New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani and his supporters are treating the Knicks’ championship like proof that socialism has finally learned how to dunk. Kennedy is not buying it, warning that Mamdani’s plans for rent freezes, government-run grocery stores, taxpayer-funded daycare, and higher taxes could send New York back toward its 1970s fiscal mess. Richard Farley, author of Drop Dead, compares Mamdani to former NYC Mayor John Lindsay, whose tenure coincided with bankruptcy, decay, and the last Knicks title. Kennedy also asks New Yorkers about budget gimmicks, deferred pension payments, sky-high school spending, and a city increasingly dependent on rich…

[ad_1] As America approaches its 250th birthday, the question of who are the American people who have sustained this nation for two and a half centuries and who will sustain it for ages to come is worthy of exploration. One of the most persistent myths in modern American politics is that America is a “nation of immigrants.” The phrase is repeated so often that few pause to examine what it actually implies, yet it obscures the true source of American success. America’s greatness was never its ability to attract immigrants. It was its ability to turn them into Americans. America…

[ad_1] Everything changed this Tuesday, and nothing did. In a 6–3 ruling, the Supreme Court upheld near-universal birthright citizenship, striking down an executive order that would have ended the practice for the children of illegal aliens and temporary residents. Conservative commentators were apoplectic. “I at least got to live for 40 years in a country that looks and functions something like America,” wrote Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire to his 4 million X followers. “The fact that my children are having that opportunity stolen from them fills me with rage so deep I can’t describe it.” As mocking critics…
