The $16.7 billion multi-year agreement reached by Meta this month to settle youth social media addiction lawsuits may be a minor blow to the company's vast earnings — $60...
The United Nations makes a mockery of human rights not just through its actions, but through the supposed human rights issues it chooses to focus on. Volker Turk is the United Nations high commissioner for human rights, an arrogant title for an arrogant organization that does far more harm than good to global human rights. […]
As the Environmental Protection Agency zeroed in on new emissions limits for existing coal and new gas-fired power plants, President Joe Biden had a decision to make. He could acknowledge the financial strain families are facing because of his failed policies and stop the bleeding, or kowtow to the “Enviro Left” and ratchet up the […]
In the first half of this fiscal year alone, the United States has admitted 42,000 Chinese nationals, 14,000 Russian nationals, 8,000 Turkish nationals, and 43,000 Indian nationals who crossed our southern border. On top of the 1.7 million immigrants who have already made it to the country with (often bogus) asylum claims, the White House […]
Gov. Greg Abbott’s (R-TX) border security policies are popular among Texas voters, including Texas Hispanics, and help explain former President Donald Trump’s double-digit lead over President Joe Biden in the Lone Star State. For the past three years, the Abbott administration has repeatedly clashed with the Biden administration over immigration and border security. This conflict […]
The Biden administration wants Israel to agree to multiple weeks of ceasefire with Hamas. It hopes that this will buy time to build political pressure on Israel to bring to an end its offensive against the terrorist group. Biden wants the war done because of three factors: Palestinian civilian casualties, associated diplomatic pressure on the […]
Mayor Adams spoke forcefully Wednesday morning about how professional agitators escalated the protests at Columbia University and CUNY and the importance of putting the...
As the philosopher/baseball player Yogi Berra once (supposedly) said, it’s deja vu all over again. Student protesters are occupying the campuses of famed universities across the country. In New York, Columbia University protesters occupied administrative offices in Hamilton Hall and were cleared out by police, exactly 56 years to the day after student protesters occupied […]
Some threats simply beg to be turned into opportunities. Jordanian Minister of Foreign Affairs Ayman Safadi confirmed that his country’s air force intercepted several Iranian drones between April 13 and 14, helping defend against Iran’s unprecedented missile and drone attack against Israel. The military assistance by the Hashemite Kingdom followed a political decision to close […]
President Joe Biden is not working very hard to bring American hostages in Gaza back home, but he does want to bring in refugees from Gaza who are disproportionally supportive of terrorism. The Biden administration is floating the idea of accepting Gaza refugees, a process that would require collaboration with Egypt, which is not accepting […]
Lord Randolph Churchill, Winston’s father, summarized the political career of Benjamin Disraeli, Britain’s great 19th century Conservative prime minister, as “failure, failure, failure, partial success, renewed failure, ultimate and complete triumph.” There is something in this sequence that parallels President Joe Biden’s half-century in politics, although in his case ultimate and complete triumph applies only […]
Despite the sheer craziness of the political and cultural landscape in recent months, one particularly nutty 2024 bingo-card item none of us expected began with the bizarre argument that the Nazis were somehow the victims of World War II. And now it’s morphed into the equally absurd claim that the Soviet Union was morally superior […]
Columbia University protestor Johannah King-Slutzky implied to the press that the illegal occupiers of Hamilton Hall were going to die of dehydration and starvation...
It is a step in the right direction that liberal columnists such as Catherine Rampell are not only acknowledging that birthrates are declining in the United States but also admitting it is a problem. Unfortunately, Rampell then reverts to fact-free blind partisanship by blaming the Republican Party for the phenomenon. “Americans aren’t having enough babies,” […]
There are many opinions to hold about the students and rabble-rousers camping out on college quads these days — and those occupying buildings and smashing windows. You may consider them antisemites, terrorist-apologists, violent thugs, spoiled brats, misguided idealists, angry young men and women, or anything else. Or maybe you have sympathy for them, because they […]
