Mamdani Declares War On Civil Discourse Authored by Charles Mitchell via RealClearPolitics , Zohran Mamdani’s inauguration speech on Jan. 1 became instantly famous for his promise to prove the “warmth of collectivism.” Yet Americans should pay just as much attention to another deeply concerning comment from the socialist mayor of New York City’s first act in office. He declared that those who are “fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty,” implying that his administration won’t tolerate public debate about his agenda. These words mark the moment when higher education’s radical monoculture jumped into the real world of political power and cultural impact. Our experiment in self-government is now at unprecedented risk. Mamdani’s words are familiar to anyone who has followed the decline of the university in recent decades. It reflects the idea that respectful discourse – a central Enlightenment and American ideal – is really a tool of oppression used by elites to prop themselves up while keeping everyone else down. This belief is widespread on campus: A December poll from the free-speech group FIRE found that 90% of undergraduates think that “words can be violence. ” Even worse, a third of students are willing to use actual violence to prevent the saying of those words. This is a generation prepared to stifle debate it dislikes, casting even the most well-meaning ideological opponents as enemies of society. But Mamdani’s inauguration is the first time this generation has seized the levers of power outside of the classroom. It makes sense: His candidacy was driven by zealot-like support from young college graduates and students – the groups most likely to be radicalized. Now Mamdani, in some of his first words, is spreading the message that discourse is dangerous. This isn’t simply another college professor preaching to the undergrad choir. It’s the mayor of America’s most powerful city proselytizing the broader public abou...

Community clubs were front and centre this weekend, with games from Bedford to Banbridge and beyond By No Helmets Required On a gloomy and bitingly cold January afternoon, it was a sight typical of many grassroots rugby league clubs. Midway between the M1 and the A1, a few hundred spectators bustled through the busy clubhouse to gather around the pitch. There was a bloke in a Wakefield away shirt, another in a Hull FC coat and someone wore a Castleford hat. The home coach was a Cas lad; the visitors’ delegation was led by a Warringtonian. There were folk sporting their allegiances to Salford, St Helens, Hull KR and Wigan too. Muddy kids in rugby kit chatted excitedly. One boy asked his mate what all the fuss was about. “It’s the Challenge Cup. It’s like the FA Cup,” said his friend. I heard another explain the difference between union and league – “there’s no lineouts or mauls and they don’t have proper scrums” – which was a reminder we were in Bedford, not Bradford.

专题：美12月核心CPI同比增2.6%，低于预期 尽管食品价格高企仍在侵蚀消费者的钱包，但 12 月通货膨胀率保持稳定，且呈现出放缓态势。 12 月消费者物价指数（CPI）同比上涨 2.7%，环比上涨 0.3%。日常餐饮成本以及部分关祱敏感品类的价格上涨，是推动该指数上升的主要因素。不过，二手车等部分商品价格环比有所下滑。 以下是最新 CPI 报告对普通家庭的影响解读。 牛肉降价？别指望了 2025 年堪称牛肉价格飙升之年。 受牛肉及小牛肉价格同比大涨 16.4%、环比上涨 1% 的推动，12 月肉类、家禽和鱼类价格整体同比上涨 6.9%。由于市场对蛋白质需求旺盛，同时牛群存栏量缩减，目前每磅碎牛肉的均价已逼近 6.69 美元。 令食品杂货消费者承压的并非只有肉类价格。12 月咖啡价格同比上涨 19.8%，糖果和口香糖价格同比涨幅达 10%；香蕉价格同比上涨 5.9%，不过环比下跌 1.6%。 想找些实惠商品？不妨看看鸡蛋 —— 其价格同比暴跌 20.9%，且 11 月至 12 月间环比再降 8.2%。 航空与陆路出行消费情况 打算在年初开启长途旅行的美国人需要留意：12 月机票价格环比上涨 5.2%。 不过，当前机票价格仍远低于 2022 年 “报复性旅游” 热潮时期的高点，同比降幅为 3.4%。 对于选择自驾出行的人而言，12 月汽车租赁价格同比下降 4.1%，机动车燃油价格同比下降 3.2%。 而对于购车一族，情况则没那么乐观：12 月新车和二手车价格同比小幅上涨，但环比要么下降，要么持平。 此外，临近假日季，12 月酒店及汽车旅馆价格环比上涨 3.5%，不过同比下跌 1.8%。 关祱相关价格观察 特朗普总统大规模加征的关祱，是否对消费者支出造成了影响？ 家具和床上用品这类高度依赖进口的品类，虽然同比上涨 3.6%，但环比反而下滑 0.4%；服装价格同比上涨 2.1%、环比上涨 0.7%；鞋类价格环比上涨 1.1%。 牛津经济研究院首席美国经济学家迈克尔・皮尔斯在一份报告中表示：“政府停摆造成的干扰，加大了通胀数据的解读难度，但近期一系列数据表明，通胀已经见顶。我们认为，由关祱引发的涨价潮基本已传导至终端市场，预计 2026 年服务业通胀将进一步回落，推动全年通胀率在年底前逐步向 2% 的目标靠拢。” 责任编辑：郭明煜

Reviving Venezuela’s oil industry will take years and cost billions of dollars, limiting the country’s impact on global markets in 2026, according to TotalEnergies SE boss Patrick Pouyanne . President Donald Trump is exhorting American oil firms to return to the South American country and ramp up production, after deposing Venezuela’s leader Nicolas Maduro . Still, producers have raised concerns about jumping back into Venezuela with Pouyanne’s counterpart at ExxonMobil Corp. saying the country is currently “uninvestable.” Read: Exxon Calls Venezuela ‘Uninvestable’ as Trump Pushes Oil Plan The comment by Darren Woods invited Trump’s wrath on Exxon, even as other oil executives echoed his caution. TotalEnergies Chief Executive Officer Pouyanne said it would take years to increase Venezuela’s oil output to above 3 million barrels a day from less than 1 million currently. “I know that people want ‍to rush there but I can understand that ​it ‍will require a clear framework to be able to invest there ​and it will take time,” Pouyanne said at a conference in Abu Dhabi. “Maybe you could easily add 100,000 to 200,000 barrels a day, but if you think about 1 million barrels of oil a day, it will require $100 billion.” Venezuela’s output has fluctuated at levels most recently around nearly 1 million barrels per day, well below the 1970s peak of close to 4 million barrels. A resurgence would require companies to rebuild or replace abandoned rigs, leaky pipelines and fire-ravaged equipment. Oil executives also want legal frameworks and guarantees for their investments and security of their employees. Pouyanne doubted whether Venezuela would be significant for the oil market this year. “I’m not convinced it will have a direct impact on the market in ‘26,” Pouyanne said. “The truth is, it’s not high on my agenda.” TotalEnergies and Exxon are among western firms that had to leave the country after the Venezuelan administration of Hugo Chavez took over their assets and operations.
