Oh how I miss Clay Christensen's wisdom.
It's easier to hold your principles 100% of the time than 98.
His book "How Will You Measure Your Life" is so good.
Just had this same conversation with Kid #3 about baseball practice on Sunday.
Why isn’t the left cheering the people of Iran? Don’t they want to see women finally liberated from an oppressive patriarchal regime? Don’t they want women to be able to freely express themselves and actually show their hair? Don’t they want Iran to be free? Where are the flags?
In less than 130 seconds, Donald Trump exposed how the entire Palestinian society is praising Jewish deaths and teaching their children to hate and murder.
This must go viral. The world must see this.
🚨 This is real. And it’s happening right now.
New York just passed the so-called “COPA Act” — a law that would force homeowners to offer their property to the government or NGOs before they can sell it freely.
And one city councilwoman blew the whistle.
Councilwoman Vickie Paladino didn’t mince words. She flat-out warned this is theft by policy.
She called it “ridiculous and shameful” — and she’s right.
Her message was crystal clear:
If you own a home — whether it’s a two-family, three-family, or four-family — it’s YOUR property.
You earned it. You own it.
You should be able to sell it to whoever you choose.
Instead, this law forces homeowners to:
• Go through city bureaucrats
• Wait six months
• Give nonprofits first dibs
• And ask permission to sell what they already own
That’s not regulation.
That’s government overreach on steroids.
Paladino called it exactly what it is:
👉 “Maniacal.”
She said no homeowner who worked their entire life to buy property should be told they must offer it to a nonprofit first — while their neighbor across the street could’ve bought it outright.
Her closing line hit hard:
Everyone supporting this should be embarrassed.
This isn’t housing policy.
This is the government inserting itself between you and your property.
If they can do it in New York…
They can try it anywhere.
What do you think — protection or outright theft? 👀
