Liz Cheney, the super-duper hardcore conservative, is now also campaigning for Democrat Congressmen.
But this is all about Trump. That's the cover story, right?
Now her political devolution is complete - Liz Cheney is campaigning for Democratic Congressional candidates.
[The Hill:]Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) is taking her anti-Trump crusade to the congressional battlefield, endorsing Democrats in a pair of contested House races in a sign that she sees the lower chamber as a potential check on former President Trump if he wins a second term in the White House.
On Tuesday, Cheney endorsed John Avlon, a former CNN commentator who's challenging GOP Rep. Nick LaLota (R-N.Y.) on Long Island. And on Wednesday, she threw her weight behind Rep. Susan Wild, a four-term Democrat who's in a tight race for reelection in Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley. More endorsements may be forthcoming.
That's a lot of effort to go through just to "get Trump," so there must be something more at work here. It's not the first time, after all, that Cheney has done this.
Cheney has already jumped into the presidential race, announcing in September that she will vote for Vice President Harris in a bid to keep Trump from a second term. And her foray into House contests has precedent: In late 2022, Cheney endorsed a pair of House Democrats with national security backgrounds, Reps. Elissa Slotkin (Mich.) and Abigail Spanberger (Va.), both of whom won tight reelection races that year.
University professor: Buildings are racist.
Buildings can be racist, concludes CU Boulder prof
The professor alleged that certain classroom settings were 'made mainstream by Western colonization, which eliminated enslaved or otherwise colonized Indigenous communities.'
He also claimed that the existence of certain ethnic communities in the U.S. is proof of racism since '[m]any people feel more comfortable living with others who look like them, because outside that community, they tend to face discrimination.'
A University of Colorado (CU) Boulder professor is arguing that buildings can be racist.
A CU Boulder Today article titled "Can buildings be racist? A CU Boulder architect explores" was published on Wednesday, featuring an interview with Shawhin Roudbari, a CU Boulder professor of Environmental Design.
When asked: "Can buildings and spaces actually be racist?" Roudbari answered that "architectural design often reflects social hierarchies, and those hierarchies are frequently tied to the history of Western colonization and racism."
Roudbari went on to allege that classroom settings "like the auditorium-style lecture hall where students surround a professor" were "made mainstream by Western colonization, which eliminated enslaved or otherwise colonized Indigenous communities as part of attempts to extract wealth or advance supremacist projects like Manifest Destiny."
The CU Boulder professor claimed that alternative "non-Western" teaching methods promote more "communal" learning in which "people sit around in a circle and share their expertise."
Tren de Aragua is only taking over a handful of New York City neighborhoods. No big deal!
A 15-year-old Venezuelan migrant busted at least 10 times in the last few months -- and believed to be part of a violent crew of young gang members -- was arrested again this week for a knifepoint robbery, sources said Wednesday.
And this time he's finally getting locked up.
The teen terror, who had been sprung without bail after each of his previous arrests, sobbed as the judge remanded him during his arraignment in Manhattan Family Court Wednesday on yet another first-degree robbery charge.
"The court finds that remand is appropriate and at this time there are no alternatives, and that a return to home at this time would be inappropriate," Judge Betsey Jean-Jacques said.
The troublesome teen -- identified by sources as a member of "Los Diablos de la 42," a pint-size offshoot of the vicious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua -- had been cuffed in the latest bust on Tuesday, just as The Post was revealing the baby-faced bandit's shocking exploits.
He's accused of pulling a knife on a 34-year-old man at Ninth Avenue and West 35th Street around 7 p.m. Sept. 30, along with a pal, according to the sources.
The teen and his buddy allegedly body-slammed the victim into a pole, flashed a kitchen knife and demanded that he turn over his phone, the sources said.
The man was able to get away unscathed.
Video from the scene helped cops identify the alleged mugger, and they busted him at 59th Street and Columbus Avenue, according to the sources.
The "Little Devil" was arraigned on the new charge late Wednesday afternoon -- with sources anticipating he would be freed with a slap on the wrist again because of his age and the state's lenient juvenile crime laws, as he had following his other slew of arrests.
But the judge's decision in the lastest case doesn't change the fact that the system remains broken, according to law enforcement sources.
"This has to be a wake-up call to the stakeholders," one source said Wednesday. "To the state legislature who has to decide how we're going to deal with this problem.
"This kid's gonna go home today and probably rob somebody else," the source said. "We can arrest him but we can't hold him."
...
Since May this year, he has made his presence known in the Big Apple, with at least 10 prior arrests for robbery and grand larceny, sources said.
He was released each time, which means he's been free to return to the city-funded migrant shelters where he has been shacking up -- until now.
"So, 10 is the number? Ten arrests for the government to finally give in and say maybe there's a problem here?" one cop griped. "Or are they doing it because public opinion is forcing them?
"Either way the damage is done. People have been victimized and a child slipped further and further into a criminal enterprise," the cop said. "This is not criminal justice reform. This is perverse."
