American Thinker: New York Mayor Eric Adams perfectly illustrates ‘progressive’ hypocrisy, fraudulence
NYC Mayor Eric Adams reneged on his vow to house migrants in Gracie Mansion due to "legal issues." He claimed that the "symbolism" of his offer spoke volumes, comparing it to leading troops into battle. The city of New York has sued over 30 counties in the state for prohibiting local hotels from hosting migrants, while the mayor refuses to house them himself.

Liberty Nation: Amendments Matter – C5 TV
Private citizens may be stripped of their right to bear arms if a proposed 28th Amendment is passed. (71 characters)
National Review: A Very California Coup
California state senator Tom Umberg has proposed a controversial bill that would create a constitutional right to “economic well-being” for government workers under the umbrella of collective bargaining agreements. The proposal, Senate Constitutional Amendment 7 (SCA 7), which would bar employers from attempting to interfere with employees' abilities to organise, will require two-thirds of the state legislature to sign off on it before it can go on the statewide ballot in 2024. The move has drawn widespread criticism, with opponents suggesting that SCA 7 would put public-sector unions above the law in relation to policy creation in areas such as housing and the environment. Lawyers representing state workers could argue that closing a school or other form of public project could be in violation of staff organised labour law.
SCA 7 has been criticised for being poorly worded and far-reaching, and for potentially creating unequalised rights between private and public sector employees. Experts warn that the bill will have a particularly important and adverse impact on development, infrastructure, and employment in areas such as building and construction. Opponents' concerns also extend to the perennial political campaign target of private-sector union-backed candidates receiving political favours for union support, particularly for public employees. SCA 7 appears to represent a trend, as similar laws have been passed in Illinois and Pennsylvania. Mailee Smith, an attorney at the Illinois Policy Institute, says that California's proposed amendment language would allow government unions to make wage and benefit demands, in addition to undefinable "economic well-being" arguments that could result in anything from new unionised employment categories to expanding some worker's rights over the broader California population.

American Thinker: Meghan & Harry: No reason for concern?
Harry and Meghan's actions and opinions have the potential to affect all of our lives, and they show determination to do so. From suing photo agencies to trying to impact federal action, they have used their titles and connections to push their messages. Their unsupported claims of royal and U.K. racism have had real-world consequences, creating friction within the Commonwealth of Nations. Despite their calls for a safer internet, they have not shielded their own family members from the vitriol spread by their online supporters.

National Review: Adam Smith’s Scottish Teachers, Peers, and Friends
National Review Capital Matters is celebrating the 300th birthday of Adam Smith, father of economics, by offering the Adam Smith 300 series. The series will consist of an essay on Smith written by various students of his thought, to be published on the 16th day of each month throughout 2023, starting in June. The series is curated by Daniel Klein and Erik Matson of George Mason University along with Dominic Pino. The essays will look at the intellectual background of the birth of economics and classical liberalism in the Scottish Enlightenment, as well as Smith's theories and concepts.
The Scottish Enlightenment shaped Smith's understanding of progress and enlightenment, leading to his ideas on society, morality, and political economy. Scotland's dissolution of parliament and Scotland's access to new markets from Great Britain and its colonies brought political stability and economic transformation to the region. Growing industries drove Scotland's spectacular economic growth, and benefitted the middle class and literati with better schools and universities. Adam Smith and his fellow literati were able to witness the social development created by commercial society and modern agriculture in Scotland, and used the empirical study to form his theories about the virtues appropriate for a commercial society.

American Thinker: Study claims Christianity associated with belief in ‘conspiracy theories’
A study claims Christian nationalism and biblical literalism are related to belief in conspiracy theories and increased distrust of government officials. Leftists see this as contributing to the spread of "misinformation." However, to them, a conspiracy theory is anything that doesn't support their ideological agenda. The real pushers of hoaxes and "The Big Lie" are our elected officials and those in the mainstream media.

National Review: Asteroid City’s Ground Zero Fantasy
Wes Anderson's Asteroid City is a prismatic approach to storytelling set in 1955. The film is a big-screen performance piece involving a busload of tourists visiting a Midwestern military bomb-testing base that was established where an asteroid had penetrated the atmosphere. Anderson's Fifties is introduced by alienated artists who attempted to define their place in the era through a documentary program about theater. The artifice is so transparent that we can see past the obvious careerism, making the film Anderson's finest. The film syncs with post-Covid America and is Anderson's salute to guilelessness and yearning.

Forbes: Much About Rob Manfred, MLB And A’s Move From Oakland To Las Vegas Doesn’t Make Sense
Rob Manfred, Major League Baseball's commissioner, is preparing to move the "Oakland" Athletics to Las Vegas after Nevada approved a $380m taxpayer-backed bill for a $1.5bn stadium with a retractable roof on The Strip. Forbes ranks the A's above only the Miami Marlins in team valuations. Civic leaders had been in discussions with the A's over a $12bn project covering 55 acres at Howard Terminal, involving a mixed-use district with restaurants, retail space and residential accommodation. However, a spokesperson for Oakland's mayor said the Las Vegas move would be confined to "a 9-acre leased ballpark on leased land".
