If your city is too expensive, move. It’s the American way

Anti-capitalist populists like to tell Americans what they want to hear rather than the truth. And so many of them were quite upset at commentator Ben Shapiro‘s recent contention that New Yorkers who struggle with affordability should move.   “If you’re a young person and you can’t afford to live here, then maybe you should […]

Do Democrats remember they ‘fixed’ healthcare with Obamacare?

Democrats continue to try and place the blame for healthcare costs on the GOP, ignoring that they were the ones who broke the healthcare system when they “fixed” it over a decade ago with Obamacare. The messaging from the mediocrities that make up Democratic leadership has ignored the Democratic role in breaking the healthcare system, […]

The Trump administration’s secret weapon for American preparedness

As we reflect on the impact that Hurricane Melissa had on islands in the Caribbean, there must be a continued investment in preparedness, and that’s just what the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is doing: standing ready, able, and fully equipped to support humanitarian efforts. […]

Days after his election, Mamdani is already asking ‘the people’ for money

Zohran Mamdani hasn’t spent one official day in office yet as mayor of New York City, and he is already demonstrating core qualities of left-wing, communist, socialist government leaders: he’s asking for an influx of money to fund his political ambitions. The mayor-elect, who ran an Orwellian-style socialist campaign filled with big promises of easier […]

McCormick offers New Yorkers a compelling reason to head west to Pennsylvania

PITTSBURGH — The most effective part of Sen. Dave McCormick‘s (R-PA) aspirational ad inviting New Yorkers to move to Pennsylvania is a playful dig at the New York Jets, showing the team’s fans at MetLife Stadium, jerseys on and paper bags over their heads, enduring yet another miserable season. “Forget about the high taxes, the […]

Fast-track post-traumatic stress treatments. Our veterans can’t wait

Like many global war on terror veterans, I have personal experience with post-traumatic stress. Having joined the Marine Corps right out of high school, I served six years, including a 2011 deployment to Afghanistan’s Helmand Province. At the Bastion Trauma Center, I saw more battlefield damage than I care to remember. When I got home, […]

Trump needs to capitalize on ‘No Kings’ Democrats in Congress

The Senate voted on Sunday to break the stalemate that had dragged the country into a weeks-long government shutdown — by agreeing to conditions first posed by Republicans before Democrats, under the leadership of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), decided to scream and shout and shake it all about. In other words, the Democrats shut […]

I fled socialism to save my life. We must show Generation Z it’s a terrible idea

I grew up in Venezuela, a country where the government ran supermarkets, seized private housing, imposed price controls, and built public housing. Where the state hated that the rich got richer, so it took their wealth. Now, everyone is equal: equally poor. The same ideas that destroyed my country — government control, class resentment, and centralized […]

Is the UN antisemitic? Here’s the proof

Democrats are watching with glee and Republicans are aghast as the Heritage Foundation implodes over its leadership’s relationship with commentator Tucker Carlson and his softball interview with Nick Fuentes, an antisemitic white nationalist. Heritage board members and scholars have resigned in outrage. Principle matters more than a good job. Scholars such as Chris DeMuth, Stephen […]

BBC bias, Donald Trump, and Nigel Farage

The BBC, the biggest broadcaster in the world, is in turmoil. Where there is turmoil, these days it’s also common to find President Donald Trump. So it is in this case. He is threatening a $1 billion lawsuit. The BBC’s two topmost executives, Director General Tim Davie and Deborah Turness, chief executive of the news […]

Conservative media has a cult of personalities problem

Somewhere along the line, conservatism abandoned faith in good journalism and became a cult of personality — or personalities. We made celebrities out of people like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, whose thinking is often paranoid and whose work is sloppy. The result is the current implosion in conservative media, triggered by the reckless antisemitism […]

A welcome end to a pointless shutdown

Eight centrist Senate Democrats took the brave step of crossing their party’s rabid base to cut a deal with Senate Republicans and end the federal government shutdown Sunday night. If all goes smoothly, the House could vote on the new continuing resolution on Wednesday, and Washington could be open again by Thursday. This would be […]
