Caving to progressive activists, Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a bill late last month that will all but guarantee more child abuse goes unreported — in the name of fixing “racial disparities” in the child welfare system.
The new law bars callers to the city Administration for Children’s Services from leaving tips anonymously — on the supposed grounds that false tips help drive “inexcusable racial disparities that disproportionately impact Black and Brown families by leading to unnecessary interactions with child welfare services.”
What this really means is that more kids will be abused — and some killed — with minority children suffering the most.
Advocates insist that anonymity lets abusive exes and vindictive or racist landlords, neighbors and so on use ACS to harass innocent parents with “disruptive” probes.
Mondull!).Last month, House Oversight Chair James Comer warned Bill and Hillary Clinton that they would be held in contempt of Congress if they continued refusing subpoenas to sit for Jeffrey Epstein-related depositions. The Clintons were subpoenaed in August after a bipartisan subcommittee vote, yet Comer says they have stalled and obstructed efforts to schedule testimony. Epstein’s extensive ties to Bill Clinton, including numerous White House visits and flights on Epstein’s plane, are central to the probe.
Comer initially subpoenaed the Clintons in August, but in November, the Clintons’ attorney insisted they would provide only “a written proffer of what little information” they had. Comer vowed to initiate contempt proceedings if they do not appear this month or in early January.
Well, on Tuesday, they made their move. They are refusing to testify.
“Bill and Hillary Clinton refused on Tuesday to testify in the House’s Jeffrey Epstein investigation, escalating a monthslong(sic) battle with Representative James R. Comer, Republican of Kentucky, and effectively daring him to follow through on his threats to hold them in contempt of Congress,” the New York Times reports.

Scott Adams, who became a hero to millions of cubicle-dwelling office workers as the creator of the satirical comic strip “Dilbert,” only to rebrand himself as a digital provocateur — at home in the Trump era’s right-wing mediasphere — with inflammatory comments about race, politics and identity, died Jan. 13. He was 68.
His former wife Shelly Miles announced his death in a live stream Tuesday morning, reading a statement she said Mr. Adams had prepared before his death. “I had an amazing life,” the statement said in part. “I gave it everything I had.”

Trumpian asshole. The world is a better place.
Scott Adams, 'Dilbert' creator and conservative commentator, dies at 68
The grave-dancing from the ghouls will no doubt be very thread worthy.
“Dilbert” cartoonist and conservative political commentator Scott Adams died months after revealing his diagnosis with prostate cancer, his family said on Tuesday.
He was 68.
"Unfortunately, this isn't good news," his ex-wife Shelly Miles told Adams' fans on YouTube. "He's not with us ... anymore."

As PJ Media previously reported, the ICE agent who shot Renee Good in self-defense is unlikely to face charges for doing so. However, the left is still exploring options to grandstand its opposition to immigration enforcement. Minnesota Democrats are even looking at suing the federal government to stop it from enforcing immigration law in their state.
If the very concept sounds absurd to you, it should, and even CNN’s legal analyst Elie Honig said this effort is doomed to fail.
During a discussion with Anderson Cooper, Honig, a former federal prosecutor, made it clear that blue state efforts to sue Immigration and Customs Enforcement amount to political theater rather than a viable legal strategy. Minnesota, like Illinois before it, is asking a federal judge to do something courts simply do not do: block federal agents from enforcing federal law.
“Former Federal Prosecutor and CNN Senior Legal Analyst Elie Honig is here,” Cooper began. “I mean, does this lawsuit have any chance of doing anything?
Honig did not hedge. “No, I don’t think so.”
