So, about those egg prices…

Ed: Democrats miscalculated again. The rise in egg prices was due to the artificial supply shortage caused by the slaughter of tens of millions of hens in the bird-flu response under Joe Biden. It was always going to be temporary; the chickens have now matured into hens and production levels have increased, which means prices will be dropping. Does anyone in that party understand the laws of supply and demand?

===

The truth, though, is that Democrats didn’t care about eggs in the first place. They saw it as a way to try and hammer people who voted against Kamala Harris and nothing else.

They used the price of eggs to belittle everyone who rejected identity politics, pretending they were more interested in trivialities than more “important” issues like whether dudes could play women’s sports.

It started on day one. From the first few weeks of the Trump presidency, they attacked him over the price of eggs because that was the proxy. It was an attempt to make people who voted for him due to economic matters feel like they were let down.

Yes, it was stupid, but that’s what Democrats do best. They act stupid, though it’s not really an act so much as a default condition.

Ed: I'm not sure it's an act either. For instance ...

NEW: Democrats are readying a bill that would release juvenile killers from jail early — so long as they didn’t kill more than two victims, the apparent threshold for Democratic sympathy — and then give them free rent to live in your neighborhood.https://t.co/NGbb9MlybD

Ed: Maybe this plays well in the state of Washington: Keep your body count below three and qualify for great subsidies! Somehow, I doubt it.

Zoom in: The new CBP Home app will have a "self-deportation reporting feature" letting immigrants "submit their intent to depart" the U.S., the DHS announced Monday. ...

What they're saying: "The CBP Home app gives aliens the option to leave now and self-deport, so they may still have the opportunity to return legally in the future and live the American dream," DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement.

"If they don't, we will find them, we will deport them, and they will never return."

Ed: It's smart to set those incentives for self-deportation. And it allows those who obey the law in this instance an opportunity to follow the law when applying to return.  Speaking of self-deportation ...

Rosie O’Donnell is no longer living on US soil.

The “A League of Their Own” star shared that she relocated to Ireland after Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.

“I’m here in Ireland. And it’s beautiful and warm — not physically. It’s actually quite cold,” she said in a TikTok video Tuesday.

Ed: Give O'Donnell this much credit -- she actually followed through on her threat of self-exile. Although if O'Donnell thinks Ireland is a place where "all citizens to have equal rights," she might want to meet a few of the Jews in Ireland ... while they're still around.

Speaker Johnson: "If you are on a student visa and you're in America and you're an aspiring young terrorist who wants to prey upon your Jewish classmates, you're going home! We're going to arrest your...tail...and we're going to send you home where you belong!"

Ed: This applies to green-card residents as well. While they can work legally here and travel in and out of the United States, they do not enjoy all of the benefits of citizenship. One of the legal conditions that applies to non-citizens in any legal status is that they cannot provide support to or advocate for terrorist groups. Their legal permanent resident status can be cancelled and they can find themselves subject to deportation.

As public schools continue to produce abysmal scores, particularly for minority students, board and union officials have called for lowering or suspending proficiency standards or declared meritocracy to be a form of “white supremacy.” Gifted and talented programs are being eliminated in the name of “equity.”

Once parents have a choice, these teachers lose a virtual monopoly over many families. They are no longer a captive audience. If public unions want to maintain funding, they will have to actually improve educational results for these families.

You see, Weingarten knows that, like her, they are “really angry,” but not about the future of a union that increasingly sounds like an educational cartel.

Ed: Nothing that Weingarten does or says relates to the benefit of students or families. We all saw that for the nearly two years that Weingarten fought to keep schools shut. The educational cartel is strictly concerned with the benefits and privileges of the adults.

Lanae Erickson, senior vice president for social policy, education, and politics for the left-leaning think tank Third Way, said it’s important to keep in mind that lawful permanent residents—like Khalil—have rights that are protected by the U.S. Constitution. “What they’re trying to do is make people afraid,” argued Erickson.

But students who have faced antisemitic hostility on campus since October 7, 2023, see things differently. Shoshana Aufzien, a Barnard freshman, says Khalil’s deportation is completely reasonable. Aufzien, who is Jewish, says she hasn’t been able to attend many of her classes “because protesters physically impeded us from doing so or because professors have jumped on the bandwagon.”

“I don’t think anybody who is fomenting pro-terror, antisemitic, anti-American rhetoric, who isn’t a US citizen, has any inherent right to be here,” said Aufzien.

Ed: This is a very fair and balanced look at the Khalil case from The Free Press, which does them credir. But Johnson's point remains on firm legal ground -- legal permanent residents have due process rights and constitutional safeguards, but they are not citizens and they are subject to removal for some violations. The State Department would be on firmer ground if Khalil had been charged with a crime, but even that isn't a necessary prerequisite for removal under the law -- at least as written.

Mahmoud Khalil’s group wants to eradicate Western Civilization & foment unrest in the United States. President Trump & @SecRubio are well within their legal rights to deport this radical. We are either going to stand up or become Europe. I’m 100% behind the President.
