   Lefty: Let’s Hope GOP Nominates Trump   
      
   The New Republic’s Michael Tomasky wants Republicans to nominate Donald   
   Trump for president in 2024. Why? “He’s become the most beatable”   
   Republican, “by far.” If independents abandon Trump as they did his   
   midterm candidates, there’s “no chance” he can keep the election even   
   “close,” and his loss could push him “out of public life.” If the nominee   
   is, say, Ron DeSantis or Glenn Youngkin, independents will vote against   
   Joe Biden, or split evenly, making it “far, far more likely” the prez   
   would lose. Worse, “the master narrative will be: The Republican Party has   
   returned to planet Earth. The Republican Party is normal again.”   
      
   From the right: Stop the New Dependency Surge   
      
   “The Biden Administration is using the pandemic to expand the class of   
   Americans who are permanent government dependents,” warn The Wall Street   
   Journal’s editors. Medicaid enrollment has ballooned by 23 million since   
   2020. And Team Biden is fighting state programs that require beneficiaries   
   to work, like one in Georgia meant to expand Medicaid eligibility. The   
   food-stamp rolls have also “swelled” about 13%, “owing chiefly to the   
   emergency suspension of work requirements.” “After the bipartisan welfare   
   reform of the 1990s, labor participation rose, notably among single   
   mothers.” Yet “too many politicians of both parties today want to expand   
   government dependency. A top priority for House Republicans . . . should   
   be to reverse the pandemic inflation of the welfare rolls.”   
      
   Education beat: Blas’ Illegal Assault on Top HSs   
      
   It turns out then-Mayor Bill de Blasio’s expansion of the “Discovery” back   
   door for admission to the city’s four competitive-exam-entry high schools   
   was illegal, Wai Wah Chin argues at City Journal, since New York law   
   “states that Discovery programs must be run ‘without in any manner   
   interfering with the academic level of these schools.’ ” That means   
   “Discovery admits must perform academically at least as well as” those who   
   win entry via the exam. Yet “the data show that this is not the case,” as   
   Freedom of Information requests on Stuyvesant HS and Bronx Science reveal   
   that Discovery admits score markedly lower on state Regents Exams than   
   their peers. And since Blas upped Discovery to a fifth of all admissions,   
   “necessary downgrades will seep through the entire school.”   
      
   Libertarian: Schiff’s Unlawful Twitter Threat   
      
   Answering Rep. Adam Schiff’s demand for action “in response to an   
   ‘unacceptable’ rise in bigoted slurs on Twitter,” Elon Musk countered that   
   hate speech is “down by 1/3” on his watch. “What he should have said is   
   that government officials in a free society have no business demanding the   
   suppression of speech they do not like,” thunders Reason’s Jacob Sullum.   
   The First Amendment bars Congress from “abridging” free speech, so Schiff   
   and his Democratic colleagues “are trying to indirectly accomplish   
   something that the Constitution forbids.” Fact is, Musk is “free to make   
   any decisions he wants about content moderation” (which is more complex   
   than Musk seems to think). So he should simply tell lawmakers “to mind   
   their own business.”   
      
   Eye on defense: A Coming US ‘Hollow Force’   
      
   Even the $858 billion Defense bill moving through Congress risks the US   
   military “becoming a 21st century version of the ‘hollow force’ that arose   
   after the Vietnam War,” both “unfit and unready to fight,” warns The   
   Hill’s Harlan Ullman. “Inflation is running at about 8-10 percent,” plus   
   “internal real annual cost growth in the Pentagon is between 5-7 percent   
   absent inflation.” So: “Unless annual defense increases of about 13-17   
   percent are approved just to stay level, the force will shrink in size and   
   capability.” Meanwhile, “recruiting and retaining both military and   
   civilian personnel in the DOD are in crisis” as the Army alone “is 30,000   
   short in this year’s recruiting goals” while the “Air Force and the Navy   
   are in similar trouble.” Oh, and “the aims of the National Defense   
   Strategy (NDS) are unachievable and thus cannot be executed.”
