Pack of coyotes takes over abandoned West Hollywood complex, locals plead for help as apex predators roam streets
NY Post | July 28, 2026 | Katie JerkovichA pack of coyotes have moved into an abandoned West Hollywood condo complex, forcing locals to live in fear . . .
After realizing that the Land Court has exclusive, original jurisdiction over the registration of title to real property and over all matters and disputes concerning such title subsequent to registration, the coyotes bit them in the leg. This is called “packing” the court. Registration of title occurs when the Land Court, after having jumped on top of a filing cabinet to avoid further attacks, has the title exhaustively searched by a court-appointed title examiner in a protective suit, and after due process is afforded to all interested parties, reviews and then adjudicates and decrees the state of the title. Thereafter the current state of the title, as it is sequentially updated by registration of future transactions, is embodied in a certificate of title which not only evidences title, but is in fact the guarantee of title, totally surrounding unsuspecting claimants, subject only to the exceptions provided by statute, threats of canine distemper and/or rabies, and matters of federal law. Subsequent owners of the registered land will be issued numbered certificates (which are useless) describing the coy-ownership of the property and noting any encumbrances (such as mortgages, claws, or slavering drool) or rights affecting the property. The initial decree of registration and the subsequent certificate of title are in rem, that is, against the whole world, and will be entirely devoured.
Good morning.

The invasion of Ceuta must be the final nail in the coffin of globalism
Spiked| 31 July 2026 | Brendan O’NeillCan we say ‘invasion’ now? What other word is there for the rough intrusion of tens of thousands of young men into the sovereign territory of a foreign nation? Surely not even the sappiest leftist in his tattered keffiyeh and ‘Refugees Welcome’ t-shirt would describe the thuggish gatecrashing of an independent nation as ‘asylum seeking’? That might be the one and only upside to the extraordinary events in Ceuta yesterday: the death, at last, of euphemism. The impossibility of any longer dressing up the West’s suicidal abandonment of its borders as ‘kindness’.
The scenes from the Spanish enclave at the tip of North Africa are staggering. An estimated 49,000 people, mostly Moroccans, mostly men, gleefully intruded upon the territory of the Spanish kingdom. That’s around the same number of people who illegally sail to Britain in a year.
Q: Why didn’t Hitler just send his men unarmed (unarmored) to seek asylum in Stalingrad until they were Stalingrad?
Q: Will a circuit court judge in the U.S. order that absentee ballots be counted from these new Spaniards, who want to become new Americans?
Q: How do you pronounce Ceuta?
.
Things fall apart; the Ceuta cannot hold.

Ceuta the action to the word, the word to the action.

How free childcare started winning US elections: ‘Overnight, people realized how essential it was’
The Guardian | July 29, 2026 | Sunny PatelIn a matter of weeks, Francesca Hong, an unlikely candidate for governor in one of the country’s most heated battleground states, will test a message that is at once radical and, to many, incredibly practical: the government should help pay for childcare.
“When we talk about free childcare, you can connect to folks whether it’s on an economic argument or just purely that it’s the right thing to do for our kids,” said Hong, a democratic socialist running in Wisconsin’s Democratic primary on 11 August. “I always like to remind folks: if we don’t take care of our kids, who’s going to take care of us?”
For 50 years, US childcare policy lived in the welfare drawer with programs such as Head Start, a free early learning initiative for low-income families, and subsidies focused on keeping poor mothers in the workforce. Anything broader was often shut down by conservatives advocating for families’ “personal choice” over government-run childcare. And while Democratic lawmakers, often women, campaigned on the need for affordable childcare – presidential hopefuls Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris made it central to their platforms – they had little success.
Then something shifted as the cost of care surpassed college tuition and a pandemic hangover pushed caregivers, and their wallets, to their limits: childcare became a middle-class problem that could no longer be ignored. In November, Zohran Mamdani made universal childcare a cornerstone of his New York mayoral campaign, and two centrists, Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill, won the governorships in Virginia and New Jersey, respectively, running on the same plank. In March, New Mexico became the first state to offer free childcare for all.
Can liberals even imagine any reason that parents don’t have 11 or 12 kids?
Or why non-parents should chip in?
