There should be no right to sleep in all public places (4/27/24)In a Supreme Court showdown Monday over whether the homeless have a "right" to camp in public, almost no one mentioned the actual victims of that crazy idea. Homeless advocates, including the American Civil Liberties Union, told the court that living on the streets is a "victimless" crime. Victimless?

Paying top dollar and getting bupkis (4/19/24)If you pay New York state taxes, you’re paying top dollar and getting bupkis. Nothing in the budget deal announced in Albany on Tuesday changes that. State tax money is supposed to provide services and improve the state’s economic outlook. But a report released last week shows the state’s economic prospects plunging to dead last among the 50 states. ...

Biden Administration not ready for an H5N1 pandemic (4/13/24)The H5N1 virus, which for 30 years affected mostly birds, is rapidly evolving and spreading globally. The Biden administration is dangerously unready. Over the last two years, H5N1 has jumped from birds to mammals, infecting at least 26 species.
-
Teach migrant children English — bilingual ed is a scam (4/5/24)New York City, Denver, Chicago and other cities are urgently recruiting bilingual education teachers as the children of migrants enroll in school. Bilingual ed will doom most of these kids to failure. All too often it's an educational ghetto, producing dropouts who can't speak English and face a lifetime of poverty. Non-English-speaking students should be given intense instruction in English when they first arrive at school and then mainstreamed to classrooms where students are taught only in English.

Beware of squaters (3/29/24)If you own a home and don't want to lose it, keep reading. Homeowners who go on vacation or a business trip, even for just a week, are returning to find their house overtaken by trespassers who fraudulently claim a right to be there. It's happening to tens of thousands of homeowners from New York City to Atlanta and Los Angeles...
-
New York doomed to be migrant central — other cities take note (3/25/24)Mayor Eric Adams’ agreement, announced Friday, to limit the time migrants can stay in shelters at taxpayers’ expense, is smoke and mirrors. It’s designed to fool you into thinking he’s solving a problem when he’s actually caving to the migrant industrial complex. ...

Is Laken Riley's life worth less than George Floyd's? (3/15/24)George Floyd's death during a police chokehold on May 25, 2020, ignited nationwide protests to reform police procedures. Referring to Floyd's ordeal, former President Donald Trump said, "It doesn't get any worse than that," and within three weeks Trump signed an executive order establishing an abuse of force database and calling for improved police practices...

The Left's beef with beef (3/7/24)New York State Attorney General Letitia James has a beef with beef. This week James sued the JBS USA Food Company, the U.S. subsidiary of the world's largest beef producer, accusing it of "fraudulent and illegal business activities" and demanding "disgorgement of all profits and ill-gotten gains."...
-
Migrant surge brings killers and criminal gangs (3/4/24)Former New York City Police Department commissioner Ray Kelly, the department’s longest-serving commissioner, cautioned last week that New York City’s quality of life “has really deteriorated.” Migrant crime is a major reason. Venezuela’s notorious Tren de Aragua gang and El Salvador’s feared MS-13 — what former FBI assistant director Chris Swecker calls “prison-spawned gangs” — are threatening to take over American cities. ...
-
Dems’ open border trickery — gaming the census (2/23/24)New York is Migrant Central — the No. 1 destination in the country for illegal border crossers — and it’s no accident. New York’s Democratic politicians benefit from the deluge. The more migrants come here, the more congressional seats and clout in the Electoral College New York is able to maintain. ...
-
Migrant crime turning cities into war zones (2/19/24)Criminals posing as asylum-seekers are turning American cities into war zones. The Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, feared for how it tortures its victims, is setting up business in New York City, police sources reveal. Gang members recruit migrants from shelters and as they come off buses from Texas, putting then to work in retail theft rings or on mopeds, grabbing phones and handbags and roughing up pedestrians...
-
Dems roll out welcome mat for world's criminals (2/12/24)Maria Manaura, who's been arrested at least eight times in the six months since she arrived in New York City from Venezuela, is living at Row NYC Hotel, once hailed for its unbeatable Times Square location and front-row view of the theater district. Now it's drug-infested and violent, but still costs taxpayers $500 a night for each of the 1,300 rooms given over to migrants...
-
Yes, America is being invaded (2/2/24)Across the globe, hostile nations like Russia are using migration as a weapon of war. War is being waged with migrants, instead of tanks, to destabilize and even bankrupt a country and facilitate terrorists attacks from within. Migration is being used to attack Finland, Italy, France, Poland and -- no surprise -- America. But the Biden administration is asleep at the switch, oblivious to the threat...
-
Pro-migrant dems playing Russian roulette with our safety (1/26/24)If you're rushing to the airport and forget your photo ID, good luck being allowed on the plane. But many migrants without "an acceptable form of identification," according to airport signs, don't need a photo. They get special treatment. Migrants who have entered the country using President Joe Biden's new CBP (Customs and Border Protection) One app -- about 422,000 of them -- can fly domestically without photo ID...
-
Homeless people do not have a 'right' to camp in squalor and invade our neighborhoods (1/19/24)Tired of stepping over needles and human waste, and navigating around half-conscious addicts and homeless encampments? You're not alone. Most decent, hardworking people want clean sidewalks for getting to work and walking their kids to school. But cities are legally barred from cleaning up homeless encampments. Advocates went to court and won rulings, guaranteeing homeless people almost unfettered freedom to set up tents and live in the rough, your health and safety be damned...
-
Antisemitism from the Left (1/15/24)Jews are feeling increasingly afraid and unwelcome. Recently, girls on the basketball team of a Jewish private school in suburban Hartsdale, New York, were jabbed and hit with antisemitic slurs by players from Yonkers' Roosevelt High School. "I support Hamas, you (expletive) Jew," a Roosevelt player snarled. The game had to be called off in the third quarter, and the Jewish girls needed school security to help them leave...
-
Free health insurance for migrants is lunacy (1/4/24)Across the globe, millions of people are on the move, defying borders and violating laws to escape poor countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, and break into rich countries. The United States is their No. 1 destination. The U.S. needs a strategy to limit the burden on Americans and protect our quality of life. Instead, the Democratic Party merely virtue signals, saying, "Welcome, take whatever we have."...
-
Stop funding the 'Rights for Migrants' legal scam (12/29/23)As a record number of migrants invade the U.S., wreaking pain on New York City and other communities, one group is winning big-time: the public advocacy lawyers. Their business is to constantly sue to win more so-called rights for migrants. Rights to shelter, rights to meals, rights to health care, even the right to vote in local elections...
-
The profiteering migrant-industrial complex (12/27/23)Last week, New York City Mayor Eric Adams warned of "extremely painful" cuts to city services to offset the money going to shelter and feed migrants. But even worse is how the money is being wasted. Migrants complain the prepared meals delivered to them three times a day -- including chicken Alfredo, beef enchiladas and even special halal meals for Muslims -- aren't to their liking or aren't hot enough. They're throwing the food away...
-
Give us educated, skilled immigrants yearning to support themselves (12/18/23)When Emma Lazarus wrote her famous line in 1883, "Give me your tired, your poor,/ Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free", there was no Medicaid, food stamps, housing vouchers and government-run shelters. Those who came knew they were on their own. Now they arrive with their hands out...
-
Stop the #MeToo lawsuit carnival (12/7/23)Anyone can be the target of an accusation or a lawsuit, whether deserved or not. Your wallet and your reputation are at risk. The danger is gravest in New York, where state lawmakers have turned their backs on the rights of the accused. New York legislators are kowtowing to the #MeToo zealots and their trial lawyer allies, waiving the time limit that protects people from being sued decades later for a sexual offense that may -- or may not -- have occurred...
-
New York's crisis is a lesson for cities everywhere (12/1/23)When New Yorkers complain about announced cuts to police protection and sanitation, Mayor Eric Adams weasels back, "Don't yell at me, yell at D.C." Adams is trying to shift the blame to President Joe Biden and the Democrats' open-border policy. Don't fall for it. The surge of migrants accounts for less than half (42%) of the city's looming fiscal crisis. New York City was heading off a fiscal cliff before the surge...
-
The left conspires to keep election fraud quiet. Why? (11/27/23)You can see it with your own eyes. But Democrats and their left-wing media allies call it a "fantasy." What is it? Election fraud. A Lawrence, Massachusetts, voter who had been turned away from the polls on Election Day and told he had already voted found out he was the victim of fraud. He checked the footage on the video camera outside his front door and saw that a woman had removed mail-in ballots from his mailbox. He called police...

Blue city decline: How to save New York and other cities (11/17/23)New York City residents have thrown in the towel. Gotham's quality of life is plunging, but only 11% of registered voters turned out in last Tuesday's local election. Nearly all incumbent members of the New York City Council skated to reelection. New Yorkers are voting with their feet, abandoning the city instead of going to the polls to demand new leadership. Amazingly, more New Yorkers have fled the city since 2020 than turned out on Election Day...
-
Your rights at stake in Trump trials (11/3/23)When the American Civil Liberties Union goes to bat for Donald Trump, it's a red flag. The ACLU generally fights for far-left causes. But the ACLU always has championed the rights of the accused. This time, the accused is Trump. The ACLU is protesting a gag order imposed by U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan on Oct. 17 to silence Trump, at the request of federal prosecutor Jack Smith. Trump has called Smith a "thug."...
-
Democrats' noncitizen voting scam (10/26/23)If you think offering migrants luxury hotel rooms, free meals, laundry service, transportation, health care and immigration lawyers is excessive, just wait until they can vote. Democrats are pushing to allow noncitizens to vote in local elections in New York City, Boston and other municipalities, as well as statewide in Connecticut...
-
United Nations is useless (10/23/23)The United Nations is useless. The United States is pouring more than $12 billion a year of our tax money down the U.N. rathole and squandering a better opportunity. The dream behind the U.N.'s founding, to provide an international forum for peaceful cooperation and the prevention of war, doesn't have to be discarded...
-
Rent control is a disaster. Don't let it spread across the nation. (10/13/23)America's renters -- more than one-third of the nation's households -- are in for trouble. Left-wing politicians are demanding rent regulation from coast to coast. Wherever it is adopted, the result will be a disastrous reduction in the rental housing supply, leaving renters desperate for places to live...
-
Big Tech's Armageddon (10/4/23)Never before in U.S. history have Americans been less free to see and say what they want. The blame goes mostly to the social media giants like Facebook, YouTube and Google that censor political views they don't like. But the tech giants' day of reckoning is near. Justice Clarence Thomas is taking them on...
-
Biden is a threat to democracy (10/2/23)President Joe Biden is pitching himself as the savior of democracy. "I will always defend, protect, and fight for our democracy," he said at a campaign event last month in New York City. He's been saying it for four years. It's a blatant lie. He's the king of censorship, silencing his critics like a despot and even trying to defend his censorship regime before the Supreme Court...
-
Biden lays a booby trap for a Republican president (9/22/23)The Biden administration is setting a booby trap in case a Republican wins the presidency in 2024. On Friday, the White House unveiled a proposed rule that would make it even harder than in the past for an incoming Republican president to wrestle control of the left-leaning federal bureaucracy and actually implement the conservative policies promised to voters...
-
Trashing the Constitution just to get Trump (9/11/23)Innocent until proven guilty. That's a fundamental right in America, at least until now. Anti-Trump groups determined to disqualify the leading Republican candidate for president are urging state election officials across the U.S. to remove Donald Trump from the ballot, claiming he's an "insurrectionist." They're citing an arcane clause in the 14th Amendment, written after the Civil War, that disqualifies anyone who "engaged in insurrection" against the United States from holding public office...
-
Blue city blues (9/1/23)Eric Adams is trying to con us into believing New York City is "thriving." Sorry, Mr. Mayor, but we're not wearing rose-colored glasses. On Sunday, Adams spoke at a brunch for New York Sun supporters at The American Hotel in tony Sag Harbor, New York. He said, "The city is not coming back. We're back back."...
-
Climate brainwashing (8/25/23)Hammering K-12 school children nonstop about the dangers of climate change in every class, even math, art and gym, is child abuse. Barely one-third of fourth graders can read or do math at grade level, according to the latest national scores, but climate activists are demanding kids hear about global warming in every class. ...
-
America stands for fair trials (8/16/23)In America, every defendant is supposed to get a fair trial. It's guaranteed in our Bill of Rights. That guarantee sets us apart from banana republics, and we take pride in it. Democratic prosecutors have rolled out four indictments against former President Donald Trump, including the latest by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, announced Monday night...
-
Biden's DOJ attacks the rights of defendants (8/11/23)Day by day, your right to speak freely is being robbed by the Biden administration. This time, Team Biden wants to gag defendants from criticizing government prosecutors. That's how courts are run in countries like Pakistan, Russia and North Korea. Anyone can fall into the government's crosshairs. Imagine being prosecuted and being unable to speak out, proclaim your innocence and show why the case against you is unfair...
-
The zero carbon flimflam (8/4/23)When politicians go green, vowing zero carbon, the public should see red. We all want to protect the environment. But lefty pols are making reckless promises to "transition" entirely to renewables -- wind and solar -- within a few years. Never mind that Joe Public will get clobbered with huge electric bills, blackouts, unaffordable car prices and layoffs in many industries. Getting to green nirvana on the Left's timetable will be hell for ordinary people...
-
Democrats are becoming the censorship party (7/27/23)A Pew Research poll released July 20 found that 70% of Democrats think the government should restrict what appears on social media, a dramatic change from five years ago when a majority of Democrats supported a free marketplace of ideas. It's no wonder, considering the drumbeat of warnings from leftist politicians and their liberal media allies about "disinformation" and "misinformation."...
-
Biden trashes the U.S. Constitution to muzzle critics (7/14/23)President Joe Biden has played his cards: all bluff, no aces. Biden is the defendant in a lawsuit accused of what Federal District Court Judge Terry Doughty calls "the most massive attack against free speech in United States history." Yet the appeal Biden filed on Monday is devoid of even one winning argument in his own defense. Count on it to go nowhere. Biden's been caught red-handed violating the U.S. Constitution...
-
All racism is evil, Supreme Court rules (7/7/23)The Supreme Court has ruled 6-3 that racial preferences in college admissions violate the U.S. Constitution. At last! No student with high grades and test scores should be rejected in favor of a lesser applicant who happens to have a certain skin color...

Silent majority pushes back (6/26/23)Understanding who your customers are is smart business. Many Starbucks outlets are toning down Pride Month celebrations, according to several reports, though the coffee chain's top executives deny it's official policy. Pixar's film "Elemental", which features Disney's first nonbinary character, flopped during its debut weekend. Moviegoers "iced" it, says the Hollywood Reporter, producing the lowest opening weekend box-office take in modern Pixar history. Oops!...

Congressional action puts property at risk (6/14/23)If you own a business, the leftists in Congress are coming after you. The only thing standing in their way is the U.S. Constitution. Whether you own a mom-and-pop diner, an auto repair shop or shares in a multinational corporation, your property is at risk...
-
MS-13: From El Salvador to your neighborhood (6/9/23)MS-13 gang members commit savage crimes -- beheading their targets with machetes, hacking off their hands, burning them to death, dismembering them. Demonic acts. If you think these crimes won't happen where you live, keep reading. The gang's rule is "kill, rape, control." Members are required to kill. MS-13 brings terror to neighborhoods and even schoolyards. In the New York City area, MS-13 has been linked to more than 65 murders since 2009. President Joe Biden could care less...
-
Dems abandon working class (6/6/23)The Democratic Party, long known as the party for working people, is now for freeloaders. Democrats want taxpayers to support people who refuse to get off the couch and get a job. That's the major reason Democrats and Republicans in Washington were locked in a stalemate for weeks over hiking the debt ceiling. The biggest sticking point was whether people should be allowed to collect government assistance indefinitely to finance their nonworking lifestyle...
-
Jail the shoplifters (5/31/23)Brazen shoplifting is hurting all of us. I'm brushing with bubble gum-flavored children's toothpaste because it takes too long to get a clerk at the pharmacy to unlock the adult toothpaste. Before the shoplifting scourge, shoppers could actually browse and read product labels...

Democrats' new rule: migrants first, everyone last (5/17/23)Democrats' new rule: If you're not a migrant, go to the back of the line. Gary Moretti and his fiancee booked 30 rooms at The Crossroads Hotel in Newburg, New York, for their bridesmaids and guests for a June 24 wedding. But New York City Mayor Eric Adams' migrant-first policy demolished their plans...
-
Making homelessness a valid lifestyle choice is wrong (5/12/23)Americans must not surrender to the new normal of squalor and urban chaos -- of tent encampments, public defecation, panhandling and shouting schizophrenics. In the aftermath of Jordan Neely's tragic death on a New York subway, advocates for the homeless and most Democratic politicians are demanding unfettered freedom for the homeless to live on the streets, even with mental illness...
-
Don't buy into Sharpton's attack on McDonald's (5/4/23)Racism is abhorrent. So are shakedown artists who cry racism to rake in cash. The Rev. Al Sharpton publicly threatened McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski on April 27, using the same language his National Action Network has used for three decades to squeeze cash out of major corporations...
-
Open boarders bringing diseases to your neighborhood (4/22/23)Ready for another pandemic? New York City's health commissioner announced last week that the influx of migrants from the southern border -- more than 50,000 to New York City alone in the past year -- is delivering contagious diseases, including tuberculosis and polio, to our neighborhoods...
-
Muslims turning the tide in the school culture wars (4/12/23)In a slap to Muslim girls at Stuyvesant High School, the school is canceling single-sex swim lessons, even though swim instruction is required to graduate. That forces the girls to choose between preserving their modesty and getting a diploma. Count on Muslim families to fight back and likely prevail. Nationwide, Muslims are taking up the battle in schools to protect traditional religious values, including modesty...
-
Trump's trial needs to be televised (4/10/23)On Tuesday, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg presented his bag-of-tricks indictment charging former President Donald Trump with 34 counts of false entries in business records. Bragg managed to slice and dice two payments to former hookers into what sounds like a big deal — 34 felonies. Don't be fooled. As former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr, no fan of Trump, said of Bragg's case, it's "an abomination" held together "by chicken wire and paper clips and rubber bands."...
-
China controls your meds (3/30/23)Democrats and Republicans battered TikTok's CEO at a House of Representatives hearing last week — for good reason. The Chinese app poses a national security risk, accumulating troves of data on its American users. TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew's slithery comment that "I don't think spying is the right way to describe it," only heightened concerns...
-
Sex ed is getting too extreme (3/24/23)The facts of life haven't changed, but sex education is entirely different now from what you likely learned in school. Sex ed in middle school now includes graphic lessons on anal sex, oral sex and masturbation, with stick figures to illustrate body positions. ...
-
Biden's banking busts (3/16/23)The failure of three banks in the last two weeks, including Silicon Valley Bank on Friday and Signature Bank on Sunday, is a saga of utter government incompetence. Call these bank collapses Biden's Banking Busts. The Biden administration has been obsessing on woke causes while banks teeter toward insolvency...
-
College industrial complex's left-wing lies (3/10/23)Families saving for college and encouraging their kids to aim for the top are getting scammed by the left-wing college industrial complex. Colleges distort and outright lie about who gets accepted, education quality and what it costs. If they were selling auto loans and used the same deceptive tactics, they'd be in jail...
-
Biden's 'America last' health treaty (3/3/23)President Joe Biden's diplomats are negotiating a treaty with the World Health Organization to promote so-called global health equity. The premise is that in a pandemic or other worldwide disease emergency, Americans should not get better or faster health care than inhabitants of third-world countries. If Biden rams this through, Americans will suffer and die needlessly...
-
Biden's 'migrants first, Americans last' policy (2/27/23)President Joe Biden's "Put Americans Last" policy is on full display at the chemical spill disaster in Ohio. Fearing for their lives, local residents of the small town of East Palestine, Ohio, have been forced to evacuate their homes, their eyes burning, their skin mottled with rashes, their drinking water suspect — yet the Federal Emergency Management Agency refused to help for two weeks. ...
-
Doctors and nurses are not racists (2/17/23)Doctors and nurses are not racists. They're everyday heroes. But left-wing activists and their media allies, including The New York Times, blame health care workers for the poorer health outcomes of Black patients. That's a cheap shot and a lie. On Sunday, the Times published a front-page story based on an analysis of U.S. ...
-
Dems attack suburban homeowners (2/10/23)If you've worked hard to afford a suburban house with a patch of lawn where your kids can play, you're under attack. The Biden administration and Democrats in New York, Connecticut and other states are fighting local zoning laws in order to build high-rise apartment buildings with "affordable" units in tree-lined, single-family neighborhoods. All in the name of equity, meaning everyone can live in a tranquil suburb, whether they've earned the money to pay for it or not...
-
Dems' spending threatens Americans' standard of living (2/3/23)The average American home is almost 2,200 square feet. An average home in the United Kingdom is a minuscule 818 square feet, in Finland 880 square feet and in Germany under 1,200 square feet. Cramped. Americans have bigger houses and a higher material standard of living -- more appliances, clothing and cars -- largely because they can keep more of what they earn. The U.S. is a low-tax nation -- for now...
-
Spendaholic politicians destroying your economic future (1/27/23)Most people don't lie awake at night worried about the national debt. Unfortunately, that includes President Joe Biden and the spendaholic Democrats in Congress. They should be worried. Frankly, so should you, no matter what your politics. Economics is a science, and numerous studies by world-class economists confirm that when a nation's debt gets too high, it pushes the economy into decline. Inflation soars, jobs become scarcer and mortgage rates to buy a home are unaffordable. Ouch...
-
Hotel America needs to end (1/19/23)My sister-in-law, a nurse on Cape Cod, wants to visit New York City and is struggling to find an affordable hotel. If she were a Venezuelan migrant who had just arrived in the Big Apple on a bus from the southern border, she'd have a shot at a room at the four-star Row hotel, steps from Times Square. Or a room at a SpringHill Suites by Marriott, a Holiday Inn Express or a Comfort Inn. Free of charge...
-
Dems partner with Mexican cartels: A deal with the devil (1/13/23)The Mexican drug cartels are killing off our friends and family members with fentanyl manufactured in superlabs south of the border and smuggled into the U.S. President Joe Biden could care less. Biden is in Mexico claiming he's seeking the Mexican government's help to stop the carnage. Truth is, the trip is a dog and pony show. Photo-ops, empty promises and such will be followed by rapid backsliding...
-
China's deadly lies about COVID (1/7/23)The only thing not going viral in China is the truth. Chinese officials are spewing lies to cover up the massive COVID outbreak there. Worse, U.S. public health officials dawdled for a week, allowing air travelers from China in without testing, while other countries immediately blocked infected travelers from entering...
-
Yikes! Life is getting shorter in America (1/3/23)It's one thing when government raises your taxes, suffocates your business with regulations or censors your tweets. It's far worse when government is to blame for actually shortening your life. U.S. life expectancy dropped to 76.4 years, the lowest in 25 years, according to new federal data. Americans should be gasping. What could be more important than having the chance to live a long life?...

What's Biden hiding? (12/22/22)2022 is about to end, and still no answer to the question: What caused the virus that's killed 1,096,000 Americans so far? The Washington Post asks, "What is China hiding?" The more answerable question is what is our own government hiding? House Republicans are promising that when they assume the majority in January, they will get answers using subpoena power. Better late than never. Learning more about the origins of COVID may be the most consequential outcome of the 2022 midterm election...

ESG funds use financial strong-arming style (12/14/22)There's no such thing as blue money or red money. Only the green stuff will pay bills. Friday, North Carolina State Treasurer Dale Folwell became the latest of many officials from nearly half the states across the U.S. — including Florida, Texas, Kentucky, Missouri, Arizona and West Virginia — to protest Wall Street's blue investment strategy, also called ESG...
-
Biden's 401(k) heist (12/9/22)President Joe Biden's going after 401(k) retirement accounts, risking millions of workers' comfortable retirements. If you put money into a 401(k), beware. Until now, the law always required fund managers entrusted with your savings to invest the money where it's expected to get the top return for you. ...
-
The taxpayer-funded college scam (11/30/22)For decades, parents have sacrificed and students have gone into debt to fund college degrees that lead nowhere. But the college scam may be up soon -- not thanks to any moral awakening on the part of college administrators. Instead, a tight job market is motivating more employers, including Google, IBM and some state governments, to scrap degree requirements and open up jobs to nondegree-holders. ...
-
Court and Congress hammer out truce on gay rights (11/23/22)America could finally be on its way to hammering out a truce between advocates for same-sex marriage and religious opponents who want no part of it. It's a tall order. Congress is the architect of one part of the truce. The Senate is advancing a bill, with bipartisan support, to ensure that a same-sex couple's marital status and benefits will be secure in all 50 states. The goal is to get it signed into law before Congress adjourns...
-
The Jan. 6 Committee travesty (11/18/22)The Jan. 6 House committee just revealed how nakedly political it is. Forget protecting the nation. The committee's safeguarding the Democratic Party. After conducting hundreds of depositions and closed-door hearings, committee staff were notified last week that most of their findings -- about domestic extremist groups and about law enforcement's failure to protect the Capitol -- will be excluded from the final report. ...
-
GOP house majority would be a victory for free speech (11/10/22)Remember President Joe Biden's Disinformation Governance Board? It was so ridiculed that the administration quickly scaled it back and then shut it down. But beware, Biden is resorting to more secretive methods -- a vast censorship operation in collusion with Silicon Valley -- to tighten the screws on what Americans can say. It's all justified by phony FBI statistics claiming a surge in domestic violence and terrorism...
-
Supreme Court poised to strike down racial preferences (11/7/22)Lawsuits against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina are exposing the crude and dehumanizing racial sorting that goes on in the admissions offices at elite universities. The application form asks young people to check a box identifying themselves as either "(1) Asian, (2) Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, (3) Hispanic, (4) White, (5) African American or (6) Native American." White Hispanics with ancestors from Spain are lumped in with Central American immigrants. ...
-
The campus diversity scam (10/26/22)Democratic politicians and their media toadies are warning that the Supreme Court is poised to rule against the use of racial preferences in college admissions, putting diversity on college campuses at risk. Don't buy their alarmist rhetoric. Campus diversity is a scam...
-
Responding to the superbug crisis (10/24/22)Hospital rooms, operating rooms and medical equipment are so inadequately cleaned that any patient going into a hospital is at risk of getting a deadly superbug. That's true even if you're going for the happiest reason of all: to give birth. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's latest data shows alarming increases in the most dangerous superbugs: Acinetobacter up 78%, Candida auris up 60% and notorious MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) up 13% year over year...
-
Dems' voting rights scam (10/13/22)Democrats and their media allies are sounding the alarm that the Supreme Court is "dismantling" the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The Washington Post warns that this term, the court will likely strip Black voters of their right to elect someone "who represent(s) them."...
-
The left's lies about the Supreme Court (10/6/22)As the Supreme Court opened a new term Monday, The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN and other left-leaning media blasted it in unison, repeating the same big lie: The highest court is "in crisis" and rapidly losing the public's confidence. The cause is "no secret," claims the Times. The Court has turned into "a judicial arm of the Republican Party." That's blatantly false...
-
Supreme Court showdown on censorship ahead (9/29/22)A staggering 99% of Twitter employees who make political contributions give to Democrats. It's almost as lopsided at Facebook and Alphabet (the parent company of Google), according to Federal Election Commission records. Relying on these left-leaning tech platforms to be evenhanded was always naive. ...

Guaranteed income: A slap in the face to workers (9/21/22)Democratic politicians across the U.S. are pushing for guaranteed monthly cash handouts to the poor. No strings attached. No work required. Taxpayers foot the bill. This scheme, which is already being rolled out in Los Angeles, Chicago, Providence, Rhode Island, Denver and numerous other cities, needs to be stopped. It's turning people who work and pay taxes into suckers...
-
Protecting freedom of religion (9/16/22)LGBTQ advocates are winning political backing and legal guarantees with lightning speed. Only a decade ago, President Barack Obama still claimed to oppose same-sex marriage, a position that would be unthinkable for him now. He evolved. But politics and religion are different. ...
-
The secret curriculum (9/7/22)School is starting, but don’t count on getting answers about what your child is being taught. School administrators commonly lie or give parents the runaround. That explains the fireworks over Jeremy Boland, a Greenwich, Connecticut, elementary school assistant principal, bragging about how the school pushes kids to think in a “progressive” way that he hopes will make them Democratic voters...
-
Biden's racial equity is the new form of discrimination (8/31/22)Unless you're a person of color or a favored minority, brace yourself to be treated unfairly by the Biden administration. President Joe Biden is pushing racial equity. That's very different from equal treatment regardless of race. Racial equity means government can treat people unequally, discriminating against white people, to equalize outcomes. For the Biden administration, it means closing the wealth gap between the white and Black populations -- by whatever means...
-
Race matching, other crazy theories destroying schools (8/24/22)Gov. Ron DeSantis nails it when he demands that teachers "educate children, not indoctrinate." As schools reopen, a war is raging to control the minds of students. On one side, the nation's largest teachers unions are pushing race consciousness, demonization of American history and graphic sex education, even in elementary school...
-
Dems weaponize the irs to silence critics (8/17/22)The public should be frightened that Democrats are passing new legislation to weaponize the already abusive Internal Revenue Service. For nearly a century, the IRS has been used by presidents and members of Congress to harass and incriminate political foes. In addition to collecting revenue to fund the government, the IRS is a hit squad that destroys reputations and criminalizes dissenters...
-
Hospitals need to defer to families on life-or-death issues (8/15/22)Hospitals need to back off their authoritarian "we know best" posture and respect what a patient's family wants. At 10 a.m. Aug. 6, Royal London Hospital stopped life support for 12-year-old Archie Battersbee, against his parents' wishes. He was dead by 12.15 p.m. Millions had followed his case since April, when his mother found him unconscious on the floor...
-
The Democrats' Lifespan Reduction Act (8/5/22)Across the pond, Brits are demanding their next prime minister do something to reduce the U.K.'s notorious cancer death rates. But here in the U.S., Democrats are doing the opposite. They're pushing for European-style price controls on drugs that will slow cancer cures and lead to more deaths. Americans enjoy the highest cancer survival rates in the world -- but maybe not for long...
-
Buttigieg wants to mandate electric vehicles; he's wrong (7/21/22)Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, considered the most likely Democratic candidate for president in 2024 after Joe Biden in the latest Washington Post ranking, says the solution to high gas prices is getting "most Americans" to switch to electric vehicles -- willingly or not...
-
The insulting agenda of Congress (7/15/22)Here's proof Washington politicians don't give a darn about our problems, and assume we're dumb enough to swallow whatever they serve up. After a seaside vacation at the ritzy Alpemare Beach Club in Tuscany, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has returned to the nation's capital to roll out more episodes of the House's Jan. 6 Committee televised miniseries this Tuesday and Thursday...
-
Power to the people — even if it comes from coal (7/11/22)Despite its name, the Democratic Party has no time for democracy. Public opinion and democracy be damned, especially when it comes to battling climate change. On June 30, the Supreme Court struck down an Environmental Protection Agency plan compelling states to shutter coal-fired power plants and shift to low-carbon alternatives such as natural gas and wind. ...
-
The CDC is deceiving the public again (7/1/22)If you have to go to the hospital, you don't want to end up in a dangerous one. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention knows which hospitals are riskiest, but it's hiding that information from you -- your safety be damned. The feds seem to think they work for the hospital industry, not for you...
-
The inflation cure (6/22/22)If you think runaway inflation is brutal, wait until you get hit by the cure. Last week, the Federal Reserve raised the interest rate on money it lends to other banks by .75%, the biggest hike in three decades. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the hike is necessary to rein in skyrocketing inflation. ...
-
Higher gas prices ahead (6/18/22)If you think gas prices are high now, just wait. They're going to get much higher, thanks to President Joe Biden's "irreversible" plan to eliminate fossil fuels. Truth is, your pain at the pump is being planned and executed by the White House. Over the weekend, buyers paid $5 a gallon to fill the tank -- or roughly $100...
-
Remote work needs to end (6/10/22)America needs to go back to work. Elon Musk ordered Tesla employees back to the office full time last week. Tesla will "create and actually manufacture the most exciting and meaningful products of any company on Earth," Musk said. "This will not happen by phoning it in."...
-
Beware Fauci's scheme to empower the World Health Organization (6/8/22)When the next pandemic hits, President Joe Biden wants the World Health Organization -- a puppet of the Chinese Communist Party -- to have more power over the U.S. and other countries. Among other changes, WHO is pushing for "equity" in access to vaccines and medicines, meaning the U.S. ...
-
Don't let big brother silence scientific debate (5/25/22)Beware of totalitarian control of scientific and medical thought here in America. Prominent academic publications, medical organizations and even some state legislatures are trying to silence scientific disagreements about COVID-19. That will kill medical progress...
-
Parents against stupid stuff (5/19/22)Adults deciding where to settle and raise their families once considered tax rates, job opportunities and housing prices. Now they also have to ask themselves whether they want their children in schools that push gender fluidity, teach masturbation and provide tampons in the boys' room for females transitioning to become males...
-
Biden's food-flation (5/13/22)Going food shopping feels like getting punched in the gut. You pick up a whole roasting chicken, hoping it will feed four, and see the price: over $10 in many New York area stores--a staggering $18 if the bird's organic. Apples are close to $3 a pound. And forget buying a steak; you might have to take out a mortgage...
-
Biden says kids belong to their teachers (5/5/22)Schools are becoming indoctrination factories, trying to turn children against their country and their own parents' values. It's what the teachers unions intend. Amazingly, that's just fine with President Joe Biden, who told a gathering of teachers and union bigwigs on April 27 that the kids are "yours when they're in the classroom." That wasn't just a Biden stumble. He repeated it for emphasis: "They are all our children ... They are not somebody else's children."...
-
Should Left's wokeness be the only religion allowed? (5/3/22)Over the past 60 years, public schools have been scrubbed of religion, stripped bare in the name of the name of the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which bars favoring one religion over others. Now the void is being filled by social justice ideology, the left's religion by another name...
-
Powerful arguments to keep 'trans ed' out of schools (4/20/22)School districts are embroiled in a battle over whether to teach children from kindergarten to third grade about being transgender. Advocates recommend teachers read their young students "Introducing Teddy," a book about a boy teddy bear who transitions to be a girl, calling it a heartwarming story "about being true to yourself."...
-
Biden's welcome program for illegals (4/14/22)Millions of Americans are paying taxes this week. What worsens the pain is to see President Joe Biden spending our tax money on hotel stays, debit cards and cellphones for migrants illegally crossing the southern border. Biden is rolling out the welcome mat...
-
Quotas are unconstitutional, whether they harm white people or minority groups (4/7/22)At work, white people are being told to check their privilege at the door. But a court ruling on Friday indicates there's still hope for fair treatment in the corporate world, even if you're not a racial minority. On April 1, a California court struck down a state law mandating that corporate boards seats be reserved for people of minority groups. The court said quotas violated the state's constitutional guarantee that everyone is treated equally under the law...
-
Welcome Ukrainians to our country (3/31/22)President Joe Biden is promising that America will take 100,000 displaced Ukrainians. He's pretending to be magnanimous. Truth is, it's a pathetically small number -- a mere 3% of the mostly women and children fleeing Russian bombs. Poland, by comparison, is currently housing 2.2 million Ukrainians, and other European countries are stepping up, allowing hundreds of thousands to live and work within their borders. ...
-
Don't let big tech hide the truth from you (3/24/22)The New York Times editorial board declared on Friday that people should be able to express "unpopular" positions without being canceled or "shut out of public discourse." A free flow of information is essential for democracy to function, the editors argued...
-
Transgender indoctrination at school and in kids' movies (3/17/22)Woke corporate CEOs seem to think they know better than voters what's best for the country. These titans are throwing their companies' clout and cash behind activists pushing gender-fluidity lessons for kindergartners and other extreme political causes...
-
The widening war (3/10/22)The public needs straight talk about what's happening in Eastern Europe. President Joe Biden and the United Kingdom's Prime Minister Boris Johnson need to level with their own countrymen about the rising risk of war against Russia. The public's getting double talk -- praise for the Ukrainians' courage but also empty promises that what's happening in Ukraine will stay in Ukraine...
-
Democrats are building a wall to keep out truckers (2/25/22)Seven-foot fencing topped with razor wire will be installed surrounding the U.S. Capitol next week, in advance of President Joe Biden's State of the Union on March 1. The wall is to keep out truckers who are heading to Washington, D.C., as part of the Freedom Convoy protesting COVID restrictions...
-
The border crisis reaches your child's middle school (2/17/22)Think you live too far from the Mexican border to be hurt by the chaos there? Bloomfield is a picturesque village in central Connecticut, 3,500 miles from the Mexican border. But illegal drugs flowing across that border nearly killed a 16-year-old student at Bloomfield High School two weeks ago. He tried marijuana, not knowing it was laced with fentanyl. Police rushed to the school nurse's office and administered two doses of Narcan just in time to save him...
-
Freedom truckers v. GoFundMe leftists (2/10/22)When GoFundMe shut down funding Friday for the truckers' Freedom Convoy, it didn't just clobber Canadian rig drivers; it dealt a blow to the rights of Americans. Silicon Valley executives are trying to limit the causes Americans support, favoring leftists and canceling conservatives...
-
Time to end affirmative action (2/4/22)Americans are fed up with racial preferences. More than three-quarters of Americans believe President Joe Biden should consider "all possible nominees" to succeed retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, rather than only Black women, according to a new poll...
-
Crimes are crimes, no matter how petty (1/27/22)There's nothing petty about petty crime. Tolerate it, and society descends into disorder. You're standing in line at Starbucks and watch a freeloader go to the front, pick out a sandwich and walk out without paying. No one says a word. Or you pay your bills, then find out thieves have robbed the blue USPS box to abscond with your checking information and empty your account. That happened to me last week...
-
Americans are being sold out by government insiders (1/21/22)The Washington D.C. wheeler-dealers are making patsies out of the rest of us. Members of Congress get million-dollar-plus expense accounts, lifetime pensions and lavish perks, but for the greedy, that's not enough. They're also racking up big bucks trading stocks in the very same companies Congress regulates...
-
President Joe Biden's discriminatory first year (1/14/22)Last January, newly elected President Joe Biden pledged to fight racism and unify the nation. Instead, during his first year he's imposed a harsh agenda of racism in everything from distributing pandemic-relief aid to allocating scarce medicines for COVID patients. Racial favoritism is affecting every way Americans are treated by this administration...
-
Patients threatened by reparations medicine (1/6/22)If you're white and middle class, the push for health care "equity" could kill you. Prominent medical organizations and the Biden administration are pushing for rules that will move "disadvantaged" populations to the front of the line for scarce medical resources -- think vaccines, ventilators, monoclonal antibody treatments. That means everyone else waits longer, in some cases too long...
-
Dems reject work ethic, embrace freeloaders (1/1/22)The Democratic Party used to call itself the party of working people and hail the "dignity of work." No more. Now Democrats want to guarantee people who choose not to work an income funded by the suckers who do the right thing by showing up for work, caring for their family and paying taxes...
-
Workers and savers hurt by inflation (12/16/21)U.S. senators need to forgo the posh Capitol dining rooms and go food shopping in the shoes of ordinary Americans. Shoppers are panicking at the meat counter, where beef prices are up more than 20%. Nearly everything in the basket costs more. Most pols are clueless about the pain inflation is causing...
-
The Left's vaccine hypocrisy (12/10/21)The left wants liberty for pregnant women but tells the rest of us to pound salt. On Monday, lame-duck New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced, "Omicron is here, and it looks very transmissible." So, de Blasio, ignoring scientific evidence that current COVID-19 vaccines will not stop the variant from spreading, decreed all private sector workers in businesses of all sizes must be vaccinated by Dec. 27...
-
Fauci puts us at risk (12/2/21)A new COVID-19 variant, reported from sub-Saharan Africa last week, has caused many developed countries to halt travel from that region without delay. All except America, which, thanks to Anthony Fauci, dithered and ultimately put into place a tepid plan that into effect Monday...
-
Social and emotional indoctrination in schools (11/26/21)Social and emotional learning is the latest trend at your child's school. SEL sounds beneficial, but that's a disguise. In truth, it indoctrinates kids with extremist ideas many parents don't condone. On Nov. 22, the Hartford Courant reported that West Hartford, Connecticut, elementary school parents are in an uproar. ...
-
Court blasts Biden's anti-work vaccine mandate (11/19/21)Working Americans got good news Nov. 12. They may not have to worry about getting laid off because of qualms about the COVID-19 vaccine. A federal appeals court suspended the Biden administration's attempt to mandate the shots at private sector workplaces with 100 or more employees...
-
Parents go after union stranglehold on school boards (11/12/21)Parents who never imagined running for office battled to win seats on local school boards last week; they won some, but lost many. Their fiercest opponents were the teachers unions. The media portrayed these school board races as culture wars, but more than anything they were struggles by parents to wrest control of the boards from self-serving unions. ...
-
New vaccine science shows mandates are unwise (11/8/21)New scientific findings in the prestigious Lancet Infectious Diseases journal blow a hole in the argument that workers need to get vaccinated to protect those around them. The findings prove the foolishness of forcing police and other public employees to get jabbed or lose their pay. And President Joe Biden should retract his order to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to compel large employers to mandate vaccines...
-
Cash for kids, no work required (11/1/21)Democrats used to be the party of working people. Now, they sneer at people who work hard. Democrats pushing to pass the Build Back Better bill want a single parent with two kids to be able to take home well over $31,000 in cash and noncash federal benefits a year, tax-free, without having to work. The handouts are even higher in states that offer generous benefits. So why get a job?...
-
Biden caves to unions again, sabotaging consumers (10/21/21)From Christmas toys to clothing and auto parts, shortages of imported products are forcing factories to idle, store shelves to sit empty and consumers to panic. What else is in short supply? The truth about what's causing this economic crisis. President Joe Biden, who brags about running "the most pro-union administration in history," won't admit that longshoremen's unions are holding the nation hostage, refusing to allow the use of automated equipment to unload container ships and get the goods onto trucks faster.. ...
-
Dems' attack on smart kids (10/19/21)Parents whose kids excel in school need to be on guard. Leftist school administrators across the country -- not just in New York City -- are banning gifted programs in elementary and middle school and Advanced Placement courses in high school. Typically, without any notice to parents, an eight grader's accelerated science class or a fifth grader's fast-track math class is merged into the regular classroom. ...
-
The dirt on Dems' reconciliation bill (10/9/21)Democrats are quarreling over the price tag of their Build Back Better bill, but the real problem is what's in it. The bill coerces workers to join unions, imposes racial preferences on every facet of life and redistributes money from workers to takers...
-
Dems' multitrillion scam bill (10/1/21)Dems are pushing to pass a multitrillion-dollar spending bill called the Build Back Better Act. It ought to be called the Political Scam Bill. Buried in the 2,465 pages are numerous billion-dollar grants to unnamed community organizations for vague purposes such as promoting "community engagement" and "creating equitable civic infrastructure."...
-
Budget bill discriminates against most workers (9/23/21)Nonunion workers make up nearly 90% of the U.S. workforce. President Joe Biden is stabbing them in the back. The massive $3.5 trillion budget bill Biden and Democratic lawmakers are trying to ram through Congress discriminates against nonunion workers and even forces some of them to pay higher taxes than union workers...
