Asking NYC taxpayers to spend record sums on public education, only to have a third of students miss large chunks of the school year, is the ultimate indictment.
Donald Trump should ignore the well-funded cannabis lobby: What matters is that more and cheaper marijuana will mean nothing good for ordinary Americans.
JUDGE ON MAXWELL-EPSTEIN GRAND JURY: ‘THERE IS NO “THERE” THERE.’ Last month, the FBI announced that its “exhaustive review” of materials in the Jeffrey Epstein case uncovered no client list, no “credible evidence” that Epstein blackmailed any famous people, no evidence to support any new criminal charges, and no evidence that Epstein’s death was anything other […]
There is a pervasive idea among the progressives who run American cities that there is no difference between a society that keeps career criminals behind bars and one that allows those career criminals to run free throughout their cities. It defies all logic. Washington, D.C., is in a crime crisis of its own making, and […]
Perhaps the most popular way of conveying one’s authenticity these days is by swearing. In the Senate, a body where the ethos of decorum and deliberation were once lauded, Democrats recently launched a social media campaign allegedly aimed at keeping President Donald Trump honest, called: “S*** That Ain’t True.” You know, because that’s how voters […]
Eight months into his second presidency, some of Donald Trump’s cabinet-level picks have proven to be outstanding — in particular his selections of Chris Wright for Secretary of Energy and Doug Burgum for Secretary of the Interior — befitting the reputation he seeks to cultivate for himself as hiring the “best people.” A few of […]

There are surface reasons and more profound ones why Hamas terrorists and their millions of supporters around the world are cheering as secondary Western nations scramble to recognize Palestinian statehood. But none of them is that recognition will make a Palestinian state more likely. Most United Nations member nations already recognize a Palestinian state, and […]
With Zohran Mamdani’s victory in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary, the resurgent appeal of socialism, especially among younger voters, is undeniable. Even though Mamdani is a self-professed “democratic socialist,” there’s no doubt that for many of his acolytes the appeal rests on the “socialist” identifier and not the “democratic” modifier. And just last month, […]
The marijuana industry is pouring millions of dollars into a lobbying campaign to push President Donald Trump into reclassifying marijuana as a harmless substance. It would be a grievous error for him to do so, worsening the opioid epidemic and weakening communities that Trump swore to protect from special interests. The president told people who […]
