Wait, so the president of the majority party who voted to keep the government open over a dozen times is now at fault for the shutdown?
Why didn’t that standard apply to Obama, Jim? https://t.co/yYbxNyuKzH

OPEN THREAD: Ring out the weekend.
ANDY KESSLER: The Politics of Anarchy: Socialists regard disorder as a means to an end: government control.
Anarchists detonated a bomb in 1920 at J.P. Morgan & Co.’s headquarters at 23 Wall St., killing 38 and wounding more than 100. Scars from that bombing are still visible today. So are anarchists. As the little girl said in “Poltergeist II,” “They’re back.”
Will new socialist New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani lead to disorder? Free party buses and no cops! Here’s a hint: He tweeted in 2020, “Taxation isn’t theft. Capitalism is.” How about a 100% tax rate, comrade?
Anarchy is in the air. Alex Soros celebrated the New York mayoral result by tweeting, “The American dream continues!” His father’s Open Society Foundations have a history of funding anarchy-producing criminal-justice reforms and antipolice movements. Some American dream.
Why anarchy and destruction of social order? Always ask: Who benefits? The breaking down of society is a means to an end—the long game of political control. Citizens scream, “Save me!” This isn’t new. The Reichstag fire. Food shortages driving a Bolshevik uprising. Pandemic riots. Anarchy works. I have no love for czars, but control often passes to political systems that are much worse. Socialism. Communism. Authoritarian control. Only the new rulers are better off.
There’s a meme for this.
COMMIES ARE ALWAYS LIKE THIS:

POLICE OFFICER UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR CALLING A MAN A MAN:
Tucker, Georgia, is an eastern Atlanta suburb, located in the ultra-woke Dekalb County, so this story may not come as a surprise, but it’s infuriating a lot of people, so I thought I’d share.
It all started a few weeks ago with a man who identifies as a woman by the name of Sasha Swinson. He was at the Tucker-Reid H. Cofer Library, a place he claims he frequents regularly, and had just used the bathroom. The women’s bathroom. When he stepped outside, a DeKalb County police officer allegedly told him that he needed to use the men’s bathroom next time as there were women and young girls in the other. As you can imagine, that didn’t sit well with Swinson.
“I use the restroom, the women’s restroom, like I have been for months, if not years,” Swinson told local news outlets. “He says, ‘Excuse me, sir.’ So, misgendering me right away, just goes, ‘But you’re not a woman. That’s obvious.'”
In case you’re curious about just how obvious that was, here’s a video of Swinson enjoying his 15 minutes of fame as he complains about the situation. Even I didn’t expect that voice to come out that deep.

As George Orwell famously never said, “In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
BETHANY MANDEL: How do two privileged New Jersey teens get seduced by ISIS?
Two teenagers from one of New Jersey’s wealthiest suburbs were arrested this week for allegedly plotting to join ISIS and carry out mass killings of Jews.
According to federal prosecutors, Tomas Kaan Jimenez-Guzel and Milo Sedarat, both 19, both from Montclair, had stockpiled weapons, posed with an ISIS flag, and fantasized online about attacks on Jewish communities.
Sedarat, the son of a well-known poet, reportedly said he wanted to “execute 500 Jews” and “mow down” pro-Israel marchers in his hometown.

A generation raised without faith or moral grounding is now desperately searching for something to fill the void.
And when that search happens in the digital wilderness, without fathers, pastors or teachers to guide them, it leads not to purpose, but to poison.
The Montclair jihadis aren’t just a security threat.
They’re a warning: When a society stops offering its young men meaning, something else will.
And what steps in to fill that emptiness may be worse than anything we dare to imagine.
As G.K. Chesterton famously never said, “When a man ceases to believe in God, it’s not that he believes in nothing, it’s that he’ll believe in anything.”

FROM WALL STREET TO Y’ALL STREET: Escape from New York: Bankers flee Mamdani for Texas.
“Suddenly you’ll have an exodus of folks who are generating quite a bit of profit,” says investment banker Philip Blancato, chief executive of Wall Street firm Ladenburg Thalmann.
“It’s already happening, this is just going to accelerate it.”
In response, Wall Street’s top earners are turning to an unlikely corner of the country to shelter from Mamdani’s tax raid: Texas.
Or, more specifically, Dallas, where the booming financial district – nicknamed “Y’All Street” – benefits from a lower-tax, lower-regulation environment than New York.
For some, Mamdani’s new regime means Texas is on course to take New York’s crown as the financial capital of America.
“It’s hard to remain a financial capital when you despise capitalism. Cities run by people who have never run a business or met a payroll are killing their own proverbial golden goose,” says Chris Furlow, chief executive of the Texas Bankers Association.
