Goldman is trying to rage bait his way to victory; can he?

by Jonathan Turley

“New York Democrat Rep. Dan Goldman is fast becoming the Marie Antoinette of New York politics. As Democratic socialists rage against the privileged elite and promise sweeping welfare programs, Goldman is doubling down on promises of more impeachments and investigations. The ultimate establishment candidate is floundering. He is reportedly more than 20 points behind his Mamdani-endorsed opponent, housing advocate and former Comptroller Brad Lander. It appears that the ‘let-them-eat impeachments’ is not resonating with his constituents. While Goldman is trying to fight off the challenge from the left with some pocketbook pitches, he is sticking to the narrative that got him elected a few years ago. In an ‘age of rage,’ Goldman has excelled, pushing unstepped on, unadulterated rage..” (05/27/26)

Canada: Former chef won’t be charged with murder for selling legal product to willing customers

Source: CBS News

“A Canadian man accused of shipping poison to people contemplating suicide around the globe is expected to plead guilty to several counts on Friday, ending a case that has shocked the public. While Kenneth Law is set to admit to 14 charges of aiding or counseling suicide, Canadian prosecutors are withdrawing second degree murder charges, multiple sources have confirmed, causing anger among devastated families. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation first reported the plea. Law, 60, is a former chef accused of running a number of online forums that offered predominantly young, distressed people advice on how to end their lives. He allegedly shipped parcels to hundreds of people in dozens of countries containing sodium nitrite, a legally available preservative that can be fatal in certain concentrations.” (05/27/26)

Ukraine and Iran are Changing Warfare

Source: Persuasion
by Francis Fukuyama

“It is clear that we are living through a dramatic revolution in warfare brought about by changes in technology. Classic airpower, manned by human pilots, is increasingly being displaced by pilotless drones and ballistic missiles. This has led to surprising developments, as seemingly weaker powers like Ukraine and Iran have been able to stymie larger ones like Russia and the United States. Over the last several weeks, the mainstream media has begun picking up on the fact that Ukraine has been doing much better on the battlefield, and that the war with Russia may at long last be turning in its favor. But some of the claims about the underlying technological revolution have been exaggerated, and we need to understand the precise ways in which warfare is changing.” (05/27/26)

Time for Ultra-Wealthy Private Jet Owners to Pay Their “Fair Share”

Source: Inequality.org
by Chuck Collins & Emily Wagner

“One of the great injustices of our current tax system is that working people often end up subsidizing the luxury consumption of the billionaire class. One example of this phenomena can be found in the world of private jets, one of the most ecologically indefensible forms of transformation. The private jet lobby has worked for years to secure tax breaks for aircraft purchases and fuel—and shift their costs on to taxpayers and the commercial flying public. The lobby scored a big win when a 100% bonus depreciation for business assets including private planes was included in the 2017 Trump tax cut. That provision was renewed in 2025’s ‘One Big Beautiful Bill Act.’ ” (05/27/26)

US heimatschutz shot-caller “drawing up plans” to impede travel

Source: The Hill

“Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said late Tuesday he is ‘drawing up plans’ to end the processing of international flights in left-leaning cities, pointing to protests outside an immigration detention center in New Jersey as rationale. Mullin’s comments follow weekend protests at Delaney Hall in Newark, where Sen. Andy Kim (D-N.J.) was pepper sprayed during an interaction with immigration agents. … U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents process both U.S. and international visitors at the border and on flights. … Critics said ending the processing of international flights at various airports would cause chaos at airports across the country, forcing airlines to cancel flights and disrupt travel for left- and right-leaning cities that depend on CBP processing at major hubs.” [editor’s note: How about a compromise — CPB stops “processing” those flights … but the flights don’t stop. They just proceed without police state interference. Everybody wins! – TLK] (05/27/26)
