      The Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) group at a university has been disbanded due to their support for Hamas and calls for violence against Israel and Jewish people. This action comes after a violent altercation at a pro-Palestinian rally resulted in the death of a 69-year-old Jewish man, Paul Kessler, from blunt force head injury. The investigation is ongoing, and a suspect has been cooperative. Meanwhile, in the United States, key elections are taking place, including a tight gubernatorial race in Kentucky and an abortion referendum in Ohio. In Kentucky, the race between Democratic Governor Andy Beshear and Republican Attorney General Daniel Cameron is close. In Ohio, voters will decide whether to enshrine abortion access into the state constitution, potentially allowing abortions in late stages of pregnancy. Additionally, WeWork, a multibillion-dollar company, has filed for bankruptcy and is restructuring to reduce its debt. The company's CEO's downfall is documented in a Hulu documentary. Overall, these events highlight the importance of peaceful dialogue, respect for human life, and responsible decision-making in various contexts.

    Carol Platt Liebau: Distrusting the IRS

    The Biden administration is seeking 87,000 more IRS agents to make sure every last tax dollar is collected from the wallets of hard-working Americans.

    But if they’re that desperate, they should be more careful about the way they hand it out. Apparently, the feds have lost at least $276 billion dollars that was designated as covid-19 relief funding, according to the combined estimates provided by inspectors general of the Treasury and Labor Departments, along with the Small Business Administration.

    The Labor Department’s Inspector General estimated that $76 billion dollars set aside for unemployment insurance was lost through fraud. And at least $86 billion dollars was misappropriated via fraud and waste at the SBA, according to its inspector general. Both said those figures were likely to rise.

    Leona Helmsley once famously said that paying taxes was only for the little people. But nowadays, actually being held accountable for taxpayer money is obviously the rarity.
