MICHAEL GOODWIN: New York City’s booming economy is bad news for the far left.

Gov. Cuomo, for example, is airing television ads attacking Trump while publicly ignoring his primary opponent, Cynthia Nixon, who is pushing him farther and farther to the left. Cuomo has called the GOP tax cuts a “missile” and a “dagger” aimed at the heart of the state. The state is also suing to overturn the law as unconstitutional.

Those are especially odd claims given that more than 80 percent of state taxpayers got a tax cut under the law, according to nonpartisan estimates. For the one-in-five who will pay the same taxes or more, the chief reason is that they can now deduct only $10,000 of their exorbitant state and local taxes.

If Cuomo and others had reacted to the federal tax law as they should have — by cutting New York taxes — 100 percent of state residents would be paying less.

But too many pols measure success by how much money government spends, not by how much of their own money working families get to keep. And by defying the national trend, Cuomo, Mayor de Blasio and city and state lawmakers are putting New York at a competitive disadvantage.

Don’t underestimate the modern Democrats’ willingness to double down on economic stupidity. If these new-school Dems actually cared about robust growth, they’d be much more like old-school Dems.

JUNTAS GONNA GENOCIDE: Mike Pompeo is due to draw attention to what the Myanmar (you may remember it as Burma) military junta is doing to the minority Rohingyan people. Of course, the State Department apparatchiks have concerns:

As unbelievable as it may be, there’s an argument over the tea cups in Foggy Bottom over what name to put on what has happened to the Rohingyans. An early draft of his remarks circulating through Foggy Bottom and at the White House includes the bracketed phrase [“hold for determination] in the passage of the speech to describe what happened.

There’s a name for it, and we’re happy to supply it for the timid folk at the State Department. It’s correctly called “genocide.” An aspiring wordsmith can search his thesaurus all day to find a gentle euphemism or artful phrase, but as the poet would say, by any other name, what happened still stinks.

I’m sure you can guess which Secretary of State started appeasing the dictators.

OH: ‘Mystery pooper’ will get more than $100K from school district.

Under a separation agreement, Thomas W. Tramaglini, the former Kenilworth Public Schools superintendent, will be paid his full salary through the end of September in addition to two months severance pay and $23,827 in unused vacation time, NJ.com reported.

Tramaglini, 42, was suspended with pay from his job in May following his arrest for allegedly defecating in public, lewdness and littering.

His arrest followed weeks of employees finding feces on a “daily basis” near or on the Holmdel High School football field and track.

Kenilworth voters should remember this story, the next time the district claims they need more money.

SOME PEOPLE MADE FUN OF ARIANNA HUFFINGTON’S SLEEP-QUALITY CRUSADE, BUT I WASN’T ONE OF THEM: Poor sleep triggers viral loneliness and social rejection.

Poor sleep can literally kill your social life. Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have found that sleep-deprived people feel lonelier and less inclined to engage with others, avoiding close contact in much the same way as people with social anxiety.

Worse still, that alienating vibe makes sleep-deprived individuals more socially unattractive to others. Moreover, well-rested people feel lonely after just a brief encounter with a sleep-deprived person, potentially triggering a viral contagion of social isolation.

The findings, which will be published August 14 in the journal Nature Communications, are the first to show a two-way relationship between sleep loss and becoming socially isolated, shedding new light on a global loneliness epidemic.

I blame smartphones and social media. We should probably regulate them like tobacco.

BACKHANDED COMPLIMENT: China is really not happy with Trump’s $716 billion defense spending bill.

The bill received widespread bipartisan backing in Congress, amid a growing acknowledgment that the U.S. is facing an increased threat from Russia and China.

The bill is considered particularly tough on China, targeting several areas of concern for the Pentagon, including the increased Chinese military activity in the South China Sea, Beijing’s pursuit of cutting-edge U.S. technology and the spread of Communist Party propaganda at American institutions.

China’s commerce, defense and foreign ministries all issued statements slamming the bill’s proposals.

The commerce ministry focused on a ban on Chinese telecommunications giants Huawei and ZTE. The U.S. government and government contractors will now largely be blocked from using the companies’ products in the future, though in non-critical systems some products will still be allowed.

China’s foreign ministry pointed out that the act was passed despite Beijing’s strong objections, and it was dissatisfied with the “negative content related to China.”

I remember the Kremlin protesting Reagan’s defense budgets, and look how that turned out.
