Follow the money. The sudden rush to outlaw a historic municipal tradition under the guise of compassion looks a lot like a classic backroom deal. Forcing independent, blue-collar small businesses to surrender prime property to wealthy developers is peak bureaucratic corruption.

The horses and carriages in Central Park have caused 1 death in 100 years.
The e-bikes have caused 133 deaths in 7 years.
Guess which ones democratic Mayor Mamdani and City Council Speaker Julie Mennin are banning?
Elitist virtue signaling.

This man is a hero.
Captain Smit Machchhar, the Indian captain of flydubai Flight 1073, fought back after being stabbed in the cockpit.
Despite being severely injured, he managed to unlock the cockpit door - allowing Israeli passengers and the Emirati crew to intervene and save all the passengers.
Together, their extraordinary courage saved 174 lives.
Indian. Israeli. Emirati.
Different nationalities. One extraordinary act of courage. 🇮🇳🇮🇱🇦🇪
We wish Captain Machchhar a full and speedy recovery.

Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.
Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).
A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.
At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at dollyparton.com
In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at imaginationlibrary.com

🚨WILD HORSES SLAUGHTERED🚨
A new @nytimes investigation reveals that the @BLMNational is allowing the sale of federally protected mustangs to unvetted purchasers. The end result places wild horses and burros into the slaughter pipeline.
Congress must hold federal agencies accountable and save America’s horses from butchery by passing the Save America's Forgotten Equines Act (H.R. 1661 / S. 775) #SAFEAct🐎

This op-ed in today’s Wall Street Journal is written with some great insight into the decades-long attempt to eradicate the carriage horse industry, hitting a lot of points that often go overlooked.
It notes the recent sale of a vacant lot between two stables—for $94m—and the pressure put on an ASPCA vet to lie and say a horse had been worked to death.
One of the last paragraphs says it all:
“The stable owners and carriage drivers are confident they know what’s best for horses and workers—and for good reason. Messrs. Byrne, McHugh and Salerno have given their lives to the horse business.”
