The tragic consequences of union strong-arming will be on display Wednesday, when a House subcommittee grills American Federation of Teachers chief Randi Weingarten on how the unions ...

Ready for another pandemic? New York City’s health commissioner announced last week that the influx of migrants from the southern border — more than 50,000to New York City alone in the past year — is delivering contagious diseases, including tuberculosis and polio, to our neighborhoods. The same disease threats are also endangering other ...

Democrats and Republicansbattered TikTok’s CEO at a House hearing Thursday — for good reason. The Chinese app poses a national-security risk, accumulating troves of data on its American users. CEO Shou Zi Chew’s slithery comment “I don’t think spying is the right way to describe it” only heightened concerns. Too bad another Chinese threat ...

The failure of three banks in the last two weeks, including Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank just this weekend, is a saga of utter government incompetence. Call these bank collapses Biden’s Banking Busts. The administration has been obsessing on woke causes while banks teeter toward insolvency. Three days before Silicon Valley Bank’s ...

President Joe Biden’s “Put Americans Last” policy is on full display with the Ohio chemical-spill disaster. Fearing for their lives, residents of the small town of East Palestine have been forced to evacuate their homes, their eyes burning, their skin mottled with rashes, their drinking water suspect — yet the Federal Emergency Management ...

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 warring on local zoning laws to build high-rise apartment buildings with “affordable” units in tree-lined, single-family neighborhoods. All in ...

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 your politics. Economics is a science, and numerous studies by world-class economists confirm that when a nation’s debt gets ...

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'd 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, steps from Times Square. Or a room at a SpringHill Suites by Marriott, a ...

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 United States. President Joe Biden couldn't 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 ...

The only thing not going viral in China is the truth. Chinese officials are spewing lies to cover up the massive COVID carnage there.  Worse, US public-health officials dawdled for a week, allowing air travelers from China in without testing, while other countries immediately blocked infected travelers from entering. Aerial photos and videos ...

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. US life expectancy dropped to 76.4 years, the lowest in a quarter-century, according to new federal data. Americans should be gasping. What could be ...

So 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 promise that when they assume the majority in January, they'll get answers ...

There's no such thing as blue money or red money. Only the green stuff will pay bills. On Friday, North Carolina Treasurer Dale Folwell became the latest of officials from nearly half the states across the country – including Florida, Texas, Kentucky, Missouri, Arizona and West Virginia – to protest Wall Street's blue investment strategy, ...

President Joe Biden is threatening the returns of 401(k) savings 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 profit for you. Period. But late last ...

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 ...

Lawsuits against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina are exposing the crude and dehumanizing racial sorting that goes on in elite universities' admissions offices. UNC's application form asks young people to check a box identifying themselves as (1) Asian, (2) Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, (3) Hispanic, (4) White, ...

Democratic politicians and their media toadies are warning that the US 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 being used as a phony excuse to operate a nasty system of reverse racism. On ...

The most consequential case in the US Supreme Court this term isn't about race, election law or even abortion. It's about pigs and how much space a sow needs to give birth and wean her piglets. The justices allocated nearly two hours and 15 minutes for oral arguments last week in a case pitting pork farmers from across the nation against the ...

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 show alarming increases in the most ...

As the US Supreme Court opened a new term Monday, The New York Times, 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 ...

A staggering 99% of Twitter employees who make political contributions give to Democrats. It's almost as lopsided at Facebook and Alphabet (Google's parent company), according to Federal Election Commission records. Relying on these left-leaning tech platforms to be evenhanded was always naïve. But recent evidence – email correspondence ...

Democratic politicians across the United States are pushing for guaranteed monthly cash handouts to the poor. No strings attached. No work required. Taxpayers foot the bill. This scheme – already being rolled out in Los Angeles, Chicago, Providence, Denver and numerous other cities – needs to be stopped. It's turning people who work and pay ...

Life, death, newborns entering the world, a CEO raking in millions, politicians calling for an investigation: all part of the drama swirling around Maimonides Medical Center, which lost a staggering $145 million last year. It's Brooklyn's largest hospital, and newly released financials show it barely has the cash to make it through another ...

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 a Greenwich, Conn., elementary-school assistant principal, Jeremy Boland, bragging that the school pushes kids to think in a "progressive" way that he ...

College-debt forgiveness is President Biden's Hail Mary pass to buy votes and avoid a disastrous rout in the midterm elections. But after the votes are counted, the scheme is likely to collapse. If you have college loans and you're celebrating Biden's announcement, don't spend the money just yet. Federal courts are almost certain to smack ...

For nearly a century, presidents and members of Congress have used the IRS 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. A lot of pain can be inflicted under the guise of tax "auditing." The bill President Joe ...

The FBI's raid on former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago home has Americans worried whether this untethered federal agency is suddenly a threat to democracy. Truth is, the FBI has played politics from its inception in the 1930s. It has a long, tarnished history of resorting to deception, violence, and lawless methods in pursuit of its partisan ...

Across the pond, Brits are demanding their next prime minister do something to reduce the United Kingdom's notorious cancer death rates. But here in the United States, Democrats are doing the opposite. They're pushing for European-style price controls on drugs, which will slow cancer cures and lead to more deaths. Americans enjoy the ...

If you're a taxpayer – in New York or anywhere in the US – you're getting scammed by groups like United Way, Catholic Charities and the Central American Refugee Center (CARECEN). You may think these are charities. Truth is, these groups are hauling in millions in taxpayer dollars – your money – under government contracts to facilitate ...

Despite President Biden's rosy jobs announcement Friday, America is heading into an economic crisis. What's to blame? The Democratic Party's disrespect for work and the people willing to do it. Over the last two years, millions of Americans have quit working or even looking for work. Since they're not looking, the US Department of Labor ...

Despite its name, the Democratic Party has no time for democracy. Especially when it comes to battling climate change, Democrats say public opinion and democracy be damned. On Thursday, the Supreme Court struck down an Environmental Protection Agency plan compelling states to shutter coal plants and shift to low-carbon alternatives like ...

If you have to go to the hospital, you don't want to end up in a dangerous one. The 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. Whenever a hospital has a superbug ...

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. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said the hike is necessary to rein in skyrocketing inflation. He's planning more hikes in ...

If you think gas prices are high now, just wait. They're going 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 or roughly $100 bucks to fill the tank. Gas prices have doubled ...

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." Bravo to Musk for rebuffing the fairy tale that employees working from ...
