If thugs were hurting your kid, you’d do almost anything to stop them. The harm the teachers unions inflict is legalized thuggery. Here’s what you can do. 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 ...

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 United States and other countries. Among other changes, WHO is pushing for "equity" in access to vaccines and medicines, meaning America will be hindered from rushing new vaccines ...

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. On Friday, Anthony Fauci, the face of the federal government's COVID ...

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 – more than $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. The ...

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 last week that kids are "yours when they're in the classroom." That wasn't one ...

Over the past 60 years, public schools have been scrubbed of religion, stripped bare in the name of the US Constitution's establishment clause, which bars favoring one religion over others. Now the void is being filled by social-justice ideology, the left's religion by another name. Why should traditional religion be discriminated against ...

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 illegal migrants crossing the southern border. Biden is rolling out the welcome mat. Illegal border-crossers will no longer be treated like criminals. More like customers. ...

At work, whites are being told to check their privilege at the door. But a significant court ruling last week indicates there's still hope for fair treatment in the corporate world, even if you're not a minority. On Friday, a California court struck down a state law mandating that corporate board seats be reserved for minorities. The court ...

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 housing 2.2 million Ukrainians, and other European countries are stepping up, ...

The New York Times editorial board declared 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. The Times declaration – under the headline "America Has a Free Speech Problem" – marks ...

Here on the home front, there's another war going on – this one against our kids' education. Racial-equity warriors are canceling Advanced Placement courses and eliminating honors programs all across America. In some schools, they're doing away with homework deadlines, attendance requirements and test scores. We're told these changes will ...

Expect thunderous applause Tuesday night when President Joe Biden pays tribute to the outnumbered and outgunned Ukrainians resisting the Russian invasion. But words like "liberty" and "democracy" – which Biden invoked Thursday to praise these heroes – are not enough. Words have to be backed up by military might and energy dominance. ...

Seven-foot fencing topped with razor wire will likely be installed surrounding the US Capitol next week, in advance of President Joe Biden's March 1 State of the Union message. Capitol Police are reportedly planning the wall to keep out truckers who are heading to DC as part of the People's Convoy protesting COVID restrictions. Instead of ...

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 America's southern border. But illegal drugs flowing across that border nearly killed a 16-year-old at Bloomfield HS two weeks ago. He tried marijuana, not knowing it was laced with ...

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 leftist ones and canceling conservatives. Canadian truckers launched a convoy to Ottawa last month, ...

There's nothing petty about petty crime. Tolerate it, and society descends into disorder. Stand in line at Starbucks and watch a freeloader go to the front, choose 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 ...

The Washington 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. Stock picking by members of ...

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 reverse racism in everything from distributing pandemic-relief aid to allocating scarce COVID treatments. Racial favoritism is affecting every way this administration treats Americans. ...

If you're white and middle class, the push for health-care "equity" could kill you. Prominent medical organizations and the Biden administration are pressing 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 ...

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 show up for employment, care for their families and pay taxes. Fortunately, these self-supporting Americans just dodged a bullet. The ...

US 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 percent. Nearly everything in the basket costs more. Most pols are clueless about the pain inflation is causing. Retirees are the biggest ...

The left wants liberty for pregnant women but tells the rest of us to pound salt. On Monday, lame duck Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that "Omicron is here, and it looks very transmissible." So de Blasio, ignoring scientific evidence that COVID-19 vaccines will not stop the variant from spreading, decreed all private-sector workers, in ...

A new COVID-19 variant, reported from sub-Saharan Africa on Wednesday, 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 to go into effect on Monday. As if viruses don't spread and kill on holiday weekends. ...

Social and emotional learning is the latest trend in your child's classroom. SEL sounds beneficial, but that's a disguise. In truth, it often indoctrinates kids with extremist ideas many parents don't condone. Monday, the Hartford Courant reported that West Hartford, Conn., elementary-school parents are in an uproar. They're complaining ...

Employers and working Americans got good news on Friday: They likely won't have to deal with President Joe Biden's cockamamie workplace-vaccine dictate. A federal appeals court suspended his attempt to mandate the shots at private-sector workplaces with 100 or more employees. Under Biden's order, to take effect Jan. 4, employees who refuse ...

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. Where outside national groups, such as the 1776 Project PAC, stepped in with funding to help offset union power, the odds shifted and challengers did well. The ...

New findings in the prestigious science journal The Lancet Infectious Diseases blow a hole in the argument that workers need to get vaccinated to protect those around them. The research proves the foolishness of forcing firefighters, cops and other public employees to get jabbed or lose their pay and even jobs, endangering public safety. So ...

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 a year in cash and noncash federal benefits, tax-free, without having to work. The handouts are even higher in places like ...

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 ...

Parents whose kids excel in school need to be on guard. Leftist politicians and school administrators across the country, not just in New York City, are banning gifted programs in elementary and middle schools and advanced-placement courses in high schools. Typically with no notice to parents, an eighth-grader's accelerated-science class or ...

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. Fortunately, the bill is in limbo. Moderate Democrats like Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) insist ...

The Democrats' $3.5 trillion social-engineering bill pushed by President Biden and Nancy Pelosi is called Build Back Better. It should be called Building a Political Scam. Buried in the 2,465 pages are numerous billion-dollar grants to unnamed community organizations for vague purposes like promoting "community engagement," providing "support ...

Nonunion workers make up nearly 90 percent of the US workforce. President Joe Biden is giving them the shaft. The massive $3.5 trillion budget bill Biden and Democratic lawmakers are trying to ram through Congress discriminates against nonunion workers, even forcing some of them to pay higher taxes than coworkers who joined the union. ...

The colossal bill Democrats in Washington, DC, are assembling this week is a slap in the face to Americans who work, pay taxes and support their families. It demeans the work ethic and glorifies government handouts, sending the message that work and self-sufficiency are for suckers: better to climb on Uncle Sam's gravy train, which will ...

President Joe Biden claims that his horribly botched Afghan exit will allow the United States to focus on rival China and "shore up American competitiveness." Don't believe it. Truth is, Democrats are pushing policies that would cripple US competitiveness. China's leaders must be high-fiving each other as they watch Team Biden sabotage ...

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a guide last week for "inclusive communication," cautioning against using words like "prisoner," "smoker," "illegal immigrant," "disabled" or "homeless" that the agency says could imply blame or stigma. The guide's opening line says, "We must confront the systems and policies that have ...

For months, President Joe Biden has opened the southern border to illegal immigrants – even as he has turned a deaf ear to our Afghan allies begging to come to America to escape a Taliban onslaught. Some 20,000 pro-American Afghans and their families are in danger of being killed by the Taliban because the president refused to speed up ...

The infrastructure bill the Senate passed Tuesday discriminates against white people at every turn. Americans are enthusiastic about spending money on physical infrastructure – bridges, roads, broadband. But this racist bill hands out jobs and contracts and locates projects based on race, not merit. Minority businesses and neighborhoods hold ...

On Tuesday, President Joe Biden capitulated to the far-left congressional Democrats who call themselves the Squad, reinstating a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention moratorium against evictions. Never mind that in June the US Supreme Court ruled the moratorium couldn't be legally extended beyond July 31 without going beyond the CDC's ...

The pandemic has made it amply clear that public-health officials have a problem communicating the truth – when they don't outright lie. They seem to think people don't deserve to know. At the dawn of the COVID crisis, they told us we didn't need masks, instead of admitting there was a mask shortage. But their failings don't stop with COVID. ...

President Joe Biden is full of compassion for Hispanics fleeing their home countries – with one exception, that is: liberty-loving Cubans. The president is abandoning practically all controls on the southern border. Despite mouthing the words "Do not come," the White House has adopted policies that send a clear, contrary message: "Cross ...

COVID infections in the United States leapt 47.5 percent last week from the previous week. Shots in arms, not shutdowns, are the answer. Among the big risks to Americans right now are unvaccinated health-care workers and unvaccinated illegal immigrants fanning out across the country. But President Joe Biden is putting politics ahead of ...

Civil-rights leaders met with Team Biden at the White House on Thursday to protest what they claim is a widespread assault on voting rights "for blacks and people of color," according to Al Sharpton. Another participant, Marc Morial, president of the National Urban League, said the group's message was that "democracy is under vigorous, vicious ...

If you're white and you work for the federal government get ready to be labeled a racist, regardless of how fair you are, how colorblind your worldview. On Friday, President Joe Biden ordered all federal agencies to ramp up workplace training on "systemic and institutional racism" and "implicit and unconscious bias." Those are buzzwords for ...

On Thursday, the US Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that a Catholic Social Services adoption agency in Philadelphia could continue to place children only with heterosexual couples, consistent with the biblical definition of a family. Though The New York Times depicted the ruling as a setback for gay rights and "evidence that religious groups almost ...

It's hard to know what's worse — brainwashing kids or lying about it. Parents are worried that their kids are being indoctrinated with critical race theory — a highly ideological account of US history and society that frames the nation as irredeemably racist and white Americans as uniformly bigoted. But they can't get straight answers. ...

President Joe Biden flies across the pond Wednesday to meet European leaders. He says the goal is to "deliver real results" on critical issues such as climate change and cybersecurity. Yet the president is ducking the most important issue: the cause of the pandemic. Biden should be marshaling allies to act in unison, squeezing China to get ...

The battle to win control of school boards from the clutches of racial indoctrinators is high stakes. Lose, and a generation is lost. The outcome will determine whether our children learn to see themselves and other people as ­individuals, instead of merely members of racial groups. Parents of all ethnicities who never thought they'd get ...

Team Biden is poised to hand out billions of dollars to what it misleadingly labels "socially disadvantaged" farmers, restaurateurs and other business owners hurt by the lockdowns. The money will start flowing to them in early June — provided they don't have white skin. Biden's American Rescue Plan defines "socially disadvantaged" based on ...

If you saved your money and bought a house in the suburbs, your investment and lifestyle may soon come under attack. The single biggest item in President Biden's "infrastructure" bill, now being negotiated with Congress, is $213 billion he claims will be used to increase affordable housing. What he really wants is to put the federal government ...

Life is getting back to normal and not a day too soon. But scientists warn that another pandemic could smack us. While we're letting down our guard, the federal government should be preparing for that possibility. The 581,000 deaths and economic destruction our nation suffered were caused more by unpreparedness and poor decision-making than by ...

President Joe Biden is traveling to Virginia and Louisiana this week to pitch his American Jobs Plan — also called an "infrastructure" plan. New bridges, safer highways and more broadband are easy sells. But that's only half the story. This is also a massive and coercive push to unionize the American workforce — whether workers want it or ...

For 14 months, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended draconian restrictions on Americans' daily lives to combat the spread of COVID-19. The CDC disregarded the psychological hardships and economic losses the restrictions inflicted. Now the evidence is emerging that the restrictions were based on flimsy science or ...

Top congressional Democrats, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, are pushing new laws to stamp out "domestic terrorism." But they're targeting only right-wing organizations. If rioters are looting and setting fires for a leftist cause, that's OK. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has a better approach. He signed a law Monday that ...

In the race to save lives from the novel coronavirus, the United States and Britain are winning. A stunning 47 percent of UK residents and 36 percent of US residents have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. Compare that with the European Union, where only 15 percent of the population has gotten at least one jab. America and ...

On Monday, Justice Clarence Thomas announced that the Supreme Court soon will have to put an end to Big Tech tyranny. Amen. If the high court fails to act, it could mean the end of free speech in the 21st century and the shriveling of our constitutional rights to mere "paper rights" — still there on paper but functionally hollowed out. ...

On Tuesday, a long-awaited joint report from the World Health Organization and Beijing provided no answers about the origins of the virus emanating from China that has killed 2.7 million people so far. Mankind is desperate for the truth, but the Chinese Communist Party is giving the world the runaround. Meanwhile, China is conducting ...

If a plane goes down, there has to be an investigation to ensure accountability and reassure other flyers. But a virus from China has killed 540,000 people in our country so far — equal to 2,000 jumbo-jet crashes — and the Biden administration is doing almost nothing to get to the bottom of it. Scientists worldwide are divided over whether ...

The Biden administration is scrambling to shelter thousands of unaccompanied minors crossing the southern border from Central America. Which means the crisis at the border will also be heading to your school district soon. If your kids are in public school or you pay school taxes, you need to know the facts. The media show photos of young ...

President Biden's health honcho, Rochelle Walensky, announced Monday that vaccinated Americans can visit with others who are vaccinated in small groups at home. But when Walensky was asked about visiting grandchildren, she said no, unless the kids are local. Even vaccinated people must avoid traveling, the director of the Centers for ...

Nancy Pelosi wants to turn America into a one-party nation. The House speaker has no qualms about trashing the Constitution to kneecap her Republican opponents. Her bill HR 1, which will be voted on this week, would rig the electoral system to favor Democrats. HR 1 is being sold as a reform to make voting easier. In truth, it makes ...

Polls show most Americans support the federal COVID-19 relief bill. But if they knew what's in it, they might feel differently. The bill is an affront to the American ideal of equal treatment under law — and a slap in the face for people who want everyone helped fairly. Section 1005 of the bill offers "socially disadvantaged" farm owners ...

The stench from Gov. Cuomo's nursing-home carnage and months-long coverup is finally causing even some Democratic pols in Albany to turn against the governor. At least 14 have now joined Republicans to demand Cuomo be stripped of his pandemic emergency powers. And not a day too soon. Cuomo used those powers to shutter restaurants and ...

America's small-business owners are struggling to survive the pandemic and the government-imposed lockdowns. And white, male business owners have an added problem: While politicians are offering loans and grants to minority- and female-owned businesses, they could care less about helping those guilty of the "sin" of being born white and ...

Two straight weeks of good news: COVID-19 cases are declining, hospitalizations are likewise down and the daily pace of vaccinations is on the rise nationwide. What's not to celebrate? Plenty, sadly. The nation's leading infectious-disease experts are warning that the situation is dire, because new, more dangerous strains of the novel ...

State Attorney General Letitia James' report on New York's nursing-home horror proves Gov. Andrew Cuomo has been covering up the truth. The death toll is at least 50 percent higher than Team Cuomo admitted. Worse is Cuomo's years of indifference to the dangerous conditions in many of the state's nursing homes. The value of James' report is ...

On Thursday, Anthony Fauci informed the World Health Organization that the Biden administration will participate in WHO's vaccine-sharing project. That reverses President Donald Trump's America First approach. Fauci says the goal is to ensure "equitable access" to vaccines for all countries in the world, rich and poor alike. Americans ...

As the novel coronavirus mutates, it's becoming more contagious than the version that invaded the United States a year ago. A masked trip to the grocery store is becoming riskier. With cases and deaths spiking, people are upset. They're spending hours on Web sites and hotlines struggling in vain to get vaccine appointments. President ...

Americans are stressing over how long they will have to endure lockdowns. It all hinges on getting vaccinated. Yet only a third of doses shipped to the states are making it into people's arms. The public hears the wait will be many months; most states are failing miserably. Washington must turn its attention to rolling out a massive ...

If you live in Florida or Texas, and you're 65 or older, you can get in line for a COVID-19 vaccine at a mall, stadium or drive-thru center. You may have to wait hours, but being in line is better than being in the dark. That's where most New Yorkers find themselves: desperate to get vaccinated, with no way to sign up. It may be months before ...

As COVID vaccines are being rolled out, an extremely vulnerable group is being overlooked: millions of cancer patients. Doctors are sounding the alarm that many state governments and the federal advisory committee charged with prioritizing who gets vaccinated should move cancer patients up to the front of the line, right after ...

You were warned about this first in The New York Post last July. Now it's happening. On Sunday, the federal Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, or ACIP, recommended that seniors aged 65 to 74 be moved toward the back of the line for the COVID-19 vaccine. The reason, says ACIP, is that "racial and ethnic minority groups ...

Gov. Cuomo is reported to be on Joe Biden's short list for attorney general, though Cuomo says he isn't interested: Savvy, considering he might not be the ­final choice, and if he is, he'll have to undergo Senate scrutiny. He'd have a lot to explain. Set aside the as-yet-unsubstantiated sexual misconduct allegations hurled against him Sunday. ...

Rev. Raphael Warnock, a Democrat vying for one of Georgia's two contested Senate seats, claims his Republican opponent, incumbent Sen. Kelly Loeffler, is running "smear ads." She is "taking things I've said out of context from over 25 years being a pastor," says Warnock. Loeffler warns Warnock is a "radical liberal" who'd "change America." ...

"Public hypocrisy fuels public rage and undermines the rules." Across the nation, businesses are defying governors, such as California's Gavin Newsom and New York's Andrew Cuomo, and refusing to shut down. The owners of Mac's Public House on Staten Island, for example, declared the place an "autonomous zone." When sheriffs arrested them ...

Joe Biden is fearmongering that "more people may die," because Team Trump hasn't begun shifting oversight over COVID-19 vaccines to Team Biden: "There was a plan for 300 million doses to be available at the end of the year. What they're reporting now is 20 to 30 million doses available. Why? Where's the bottleneck?" Biden mixed up the numbers ...

New York's dictatorial Gov. Andrew Cuomo may have finally met his match. The Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn, led by Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio, is asking the US Supreme Court to strike down Cuomo's Oct. 6 executive order virtually shutting down houses of worship in areas of Brooklyn and Queens. This, even as the governor allowed ...

Monday's news that a COVID-19 vaccine from Pfizer will be ready for Food and Drug Administration approval this month sent stock markets soaring and everyone celebrating. It is wonderful news for all humanity. A vaccine will slow the deaths, end the lockdowns, allow businesses to reopen, free children to return to school and return life to ...

As the American public waits, confused and ­annoyed that there is no presidential winner, Democrats insist that we should just be patient. That the turmoil is normal. It's a bald-faced lie. The post-election limbo is a deliberate creation of the Democratic Party. In the months leading up to the election, the Democratic National Committee ...

The lie driving this election is that President Trump is to blame for the nation's COVID deaths. Democrats have blanketed the country with ads claiming Trump bungled the virus response. Joe Biden blames Trump for 230,000 deaths. Gov. Andrew Cuomo, too, is parroting the lie, even though it's Cuomo who has blood on his hands, for forcing ...

The left is raising the alarm that Justice Amy Coney Barrett is poised to steal the election for President Trump. Democrats are demanding that the new justice recuse herself from election cases. Otherwise, warns The Washington Post, “the public’s faith in democracy” will “be destroyed.” That’s the opposite of the truth: The Democrats are the ...

Senate Democrats are trying to turn the confirmation hearing on Amy Coney Barrett into a political victory for their party, but so far they’ve failed miserably. Barrett is the poster-woman the GOP needs to attract college-educated female voters and help close the gender gap come November. Though they don’t have the votes to block ...

On Tuesday, President Trump postponed negotiations on a stimulus bill until after Election Day. The move is politically risky for the president and delays much-needed assistance to struggling Americans. But the ultimate blame belongs to Nancy Pelosi. The House speaker has been badgering the GOP to pass her $2.2 trillion coronavirus relief bill ...

Democrats and their media allies are warning that putting Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court would doom the Affordable Care Act. They predict that tens of millions would be thrown off Medicaid and the sick would lose their “pre-existing-conditions” protections. This is fear mongering. Here’s a rundown of the false claims, with the facts ...

Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina and Wisconsin — four swing states that could decide who wins the presidency — have officially canceled Election Night. Democrats in all four states won legal battles in the last week to allow ballots arriving days after Election Day to still be counted. In Michigan, ballots can arrive two weeks late. ...

Team Biden’s latest mistake is undermining expedited approval of a vaccine. Biden questions if the vaccine is even “real,” and his running mate, Kamala Harris, suggests she couldn’t trust the Trump administration. You’d expect that from pols. But Biden health adviser Dr. Irwin Redlener, a Columbia University professor, says rapid ­authorization ...

The left and its media allies are warning Americans not to expect a winner on Election Night. If President Trump leads on Nov. 3, the victory will be nothing more than a “red mirage,” says Josh Mendelsohn, whose firm consults for the Democratic National Committee. In the days or weeks afterward, a Trump victory will be beaten back and undone ...

‘These are the same voices who . . . wish failure on every breakthrough.’ Trump-haters are so determined to defeat the president that they are opposing emergency authorization of a COVID-19 vaccine. What callous disregard for human life. Without a vaccine, another 100,000 fatalities are expected by year’s end, according to Washington ...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) recently warned that “dangerous new policies” made by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, who took the top job at the US Postal Service in June, will prevent mail-in ballots from being counted. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has charged that there is a conspiracy afoot to “undermine and dismantle the post office ...

The outcome of November’s election will likely determine the role of racial preferences in college admissions. Voters have a clear choice. The Trump administration wants an applicant’s grades and achievements to matter most. The Obama-Biden administration urged colleges to tilt the scale in favor of minority applicants. Now Joe Biden is ...

It’s hard to know what’s worse — the dying or the lying. More than 32,000 New Yorkers have died from the coronavirus, a toll higher than any other state. New York also ranks second to the worst out of all 50 states, in deaths per million residents. Only New Jersey did worse. You wouldn’t know it, listening to Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who brags that ...

New Yorkers are hurting for jobs. But New York state lawmakers are poised to make it even tougher to earn a paycheck, by concocting licensing requirements for something as simple as giving a shampoo. The Albany pols have something to gain: campaign contributions from those pushing the new requirement. But if you’re eyeing a job in a hair ...

Beware of three widely circulating coronavirus lies — and the partisan motives behind them. These lies are dangerous to our children and hinder our communities’ ability to cope with this virus. Lie No. 1: “The United States’ response stands out as among the worst of any country.” House Majority Whip James Clyburn leveled that charge as he ...

When lifesaving medicines run low, hospitals have to choose which patients get a scarce drug. Ethicists historically have recommended giving the drug to the patient most likely to benefit or using a lottery. Not any more. Pennsylvania hospitals are tilting the scale in favor of patients from “disadvantaged areas.” If you’re middle class, ...

If you live in the suburbs or you’re a city dweller eyeing a move to a quiet cul-de-sac where your kids can play outside, you need to know about Joe Biden’s plan for a federal takeover of local zoning laws. The ex-veep wants to ramp up an Obama-era social-engineering scheme called Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing that mercifully barely ...

At least two COVID-19 vaccines are scoring major successes in trials. That means a vaccine might be ready by year’s end, but not in sufficient quantity to vaccinate more than 300 million Americans. Frontline health workers and national-security personnel will be top priority, but after that, who comes next? A federal committee is ...

If you’re working in an office or eating in a restaurant, and someone 30 feet away exhales tiny particles of the coronavirus, those particles can drift and infect you. Picture cigarette smoke wafting across a room. Same thing. The precautions global and federal agencies are advising aren’t good enough. ­Social distancing — keeping six feet away ...

In a pandemic, government efficiency can make the difference between life and death. You would expect our civil “servants” to rise to the occasion. Some are. But the Government Accountability Office, a federal watchdog, is sounding the alarm that for the most part, Washington bureaucrats are dithering while Americans die. In a report released ...

Mainstream media are sounding the alarm about coronavirus cases spiking across the South and West. They’re distorting the facts to cause panic, instead of reporting the whole truth. Gov. Cuomo is piling on, accusing states that have reopened of playing politics instead of acting “intelligently.” Sorry, but “intelligent” isn’t the word ...

China’s Communist regime is determined to block probes into the origins of the novel coronavirus. And influential Western scientists are going along with Beijing’s effort to suppress any inquiry. They’re declaring “solidarity with the scientists and health professionals of China,” as a letter signed by some two dozen experts in the journal ...

Three months ago, America was told to trust public health experts. Most of them have revealed themselves to be left-wing ideologues cloaked in the mantle of science. On their advice, states slammed their economies shut, put 40 million people out of work, sent school kids home and pushed businesses ...

Three months ago, America was told to trust the public health experts. Never again. Most are left-wing ideologues cloaked in the mantle of science. On their advice, states slammed their economies shut, put 40 million people out of work, sent school kids home and pushed businesses into bankruptcy. These experts hardly blinked at the ...

President Trump is taking heavy criticism for his announcement last week that the United States is “terminating its relationship with the World Health Organization.” But evidence is mounting that the $450 million America spends yearly on the WHO is money down a rat hole. This week, the Associated Press revealed how the WHO lied to the world ...

America hasn’t seen the last of killer coronaviruses. China’s “bat woman,” a Wuhan Institute of Virology scientist who handles bat viruses, is warning that the current pandemic is “just the tip of the iceberg.” Friendly advice from a researcher? Maybe, but America’s enemies are watching. They’ve seen the devastating impact of the coronavirus ...

Citing the Bill of Rights and the “ideals of civil disobedience,” the owner of Atilis Gym in Bellmawr, NJ, defied Gov. Phil Murphy’s orders by reopening on Monday. Cops “formally” notified the gym owner he was in violation of the shutdown order and then wished him “a good day.” The crowd cheered. Two days later, Atilis is still open. ...

The most effective way to save lives would be to improve infection control in assisted-living facilities. Nursing-home residents make up less than 1% of the U.S. population, but in many states they account for half of all Covid-19 deaths. In some states it’s higher, such as Minnesota (81%), New Hampshire (77%) and Pennsylvania (71%), according ...

As the shutdown drags on, New York officials fear that half the city’s smallest businesses are going to fail. Restaurants, bars, shops and salons will become boarded-up storefronts. Neighborhoods will feel like ghost towns. It’s a grim prospect, yet officials seem ready to let it happen. Gem Spa in the East Village, known since the 1920s for ...

Across the nation, protesters are taking to the streets and business owners are filing lawsuits objecting to the shutdown rules. As the shutdown drags on, it’s causing job losses, bankruptcies and a sense that people are being robbed of their rights. The liberal media label the protesters virus deniers. But the protesters have science and the ...

Gov. Andrew Cuomo is allowing upstate construction and assembly-line businesses to re-open May 15, but other businesses have to stay shut longer. How long? That depends on how “essential” they are, he said. But any business is essential if it’s how you earn your paycheck. People need to work, and new research indicates that for otherwise ...

Many governors are claiming they can’t relax limits on business and recreation until their states have an extensive system of “contact tracing.” It’s a worthy aspiration. But they should listen to the scientists who warn that contact tracing won’t work against the novel coronavirus. Gov. Cuomo says he envisions hiring an “army” of thousands ...

Since the coronavirus shutdown began, nearly 17 million Americans have lost their jobs. That’s one-tenth of the nation’s workforce. It’s a public-health disaster. If the shutdown drags on, as many public-health experts recommend it should, it is almost certain to kill more Americans than the virus. The academics and public-health officials ...

President Trump is hinting at a second task force responsible for getting Americans back to work. Appoint it now, Mr. President. Don’t wait until the coronavirus peaks. This task force should prepare the country to re-open, with new tools to fight the virus. The president’s top epidemiologist, the esteemed Dr. Anthony Fauci, insists “the best ...

President Trump is extending the nation’s shutdown at least until the end of April. He’s largely basing his decision on predictions from the University of Washington that even if the nation sticks to the shutdown, 83,967 Americans will die of coronavirus by early August. Deaths will likely soar over the next two weeks, with the daily toll ...

New facts about coronavirus are pouring in from scientists around the globe. We need this information to guide us. People infected are most contagious before they have symptoms, and some spread the infection widely but never get sick themselves, reports the International Journal of Infectious Diseases. That’s why screening for fever and ...

The novel coronavirus is causing working-age people to worry about missing paychecks, caring for kids home from school, stockpiling groceries and canceling plans. But people in their 50s, 60s or older have bigger worries. Many are lying awake wondering if this is how they are going to die. At its most severe, the coronavirus attacks the ...

There is good news and bad news about coronavirus. First, there is reason for optimism. The virus struck only four months ago, yet we ­already know its genetic features. It took scientists years to get that far with HIV. Antiviral drugs are in development, and a vaccine could be available within 18 months. The pace of scientific progress ...

The first nine coronavirus deaths in the United States show the biggest risks aren’t traveling abroad, or riding mass transit, or attending crowded events. The riskiest place to be is in a rehab or nursing home. The second most dangerous is a hospital. Five residents of the Life Care Center, a nursing facility in Kirkland, Wash., have died ...

With outbreaks raging in ­Italy, Iran, South Korea and other countries, US authorities now predict coronavirus will strike Americans here, causing “significant disruptions to our lives.” The warning came from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention official Nancy Messonnier at a Tuesday briefing. Here’s what you need to know: Is the ...

Federal health bureaucrats deserve an “F” grade for preparedness. Despite years of warnings about America’s over-dependence on China for medicines, masks and other equipment, these officials failed to remedy the situation. Now these same officials tell us we are facing an “unprecedented public-health threat” from coronavirus, also named ...

Chinese government officials and the World Health Organization are bad-mouthing the Trump administration for trying to stop the coronavirus from invading the United States. Team Trump is barring foreigners who have been in China recently from entering the country. Americans returning from China are quarantined for 14 days. China ­accuses Trump ...

President Trump has now been acquitted, but Democrats hope his impeachment will disgrace him “for life” and tilt the 2020 election. Don’t bet on it. Sen. Lindsey Graham has a better idea. Graham is proposing post-impeachment investigations by the Senate to “get to the bottom” of the Democrats’ impeachment hoax. That will pin the disgrace where ...

House Democrats impeached President Trump for putting his own political fortunes ahead of the national interest in dealing with Ukraine. But it’s Joe Biden who should be on the hot seat for that. Trump is criticized for a July 25 phone call, when he asked the president of Ukraine for help investigating what Biden did as vice president to get ...

Lessons from Canada’s 2003 SARS outbreak, when Toronto got sick and Vancouver didn’t. No one knows whether the coronavirus will substantially threaten the U.S., where it has already been detected, but one thing is certain: American hospitals aren’t ready for the deadly virus or a future global contagion. Travelers from China’s Wuhan region ...

The White House fired back at President Trump’s impeachers Monday, taking aim at their far-fetched legal arguments and blatant dishonesty. Trump’s lawyers called the Democrats’ grounds for impeachment a “made-up theory.” They singled out House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff for “lying,” violating “basic fairness” and “concocting” ...

This time, House Democrats were in a rush to impeach and ­unwilling to battle Trump in court. They took a shortcut around our constitutional system of checks and balances. Senators shouldn’t go along with it. The Senate could vote to dismiss the articles, on the basis that these charges aren’t impeachable ­offenses. Trump called for that ...

Imagine if a district attorney charged you with wrongdoing, then let the charges hang over you indefinitely? That’s the stunt House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been pulling, sitting on the articles of impeachment against President Trump since Dec. 18 with zero regard for the Constitution. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham ...

The truth behind House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff’s role in engineering President Trump’s impeachment may soon come out. Judicial Watch, a nonprofit group promoting government transparency, is suing to get the whistleblower’s emails. That’s good news. Because no matter what comes of Trump’s Senate trial, Schiff should be held ...

It’s Christmas week, and America is in the midst of the witness wars. Sen. Chuck Schumer issued ­another demand Sunday for more witnesses and documents as impeachment moves to the Senate. He is undercutting House Democrats’ boasts of a “rock-solid case” against President Trump. If the case is so solid, why the need for more witnesses? Truth is, ...

As the impeachment battle moves to the Senate, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is wisely holding the line against Democratic efforts to drag it out. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is demanding that Democrats be able to call new witnesses. He insists an impeachment trial has to “pass the fairness test.” Fairness? He must think Americans are ...

House Democrats are stampeding to impeach President Trump without evidence of any crime. On Monday, Dems will make their case based on Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff’s impeachment report. It claims to present “stark evidence of misconduct.” In reality, the report plays tricks to frame Trump and damage his re-electability, ...

On Wednesday, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler takes over as ringmaster of the impeachment show. He is billing his opening act as an inquiry into the “historical and constitutional basis of impeachment” and “the Framers’ intent.” Nadler claims he will be looking into what the Constitution’s authors meant by “high crimes ...

After nearly three years searching for grounds to ­impeach President Trump, House Democrats have landed on “bribery.” Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) cited bribery ­repeatedly as he grilled impeachment witnesses. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, raising her finger in triumph, declared the witnesses have provided ...

On Wednesday, the curtain rises on the House’s impeachment show, featuring State Department career diplomats William Taylor Jr. and George Kent as the first witnesses. Mainstream media claim Taylor and Kent have “damning evidence” that President Trump delayed military aid to the Kiev government in a quid pro quo to pressure the Ukrainian ...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi insists the impeachment procedures adopted last Thursday are “the fairest possible.” Don’t believe it. In truth, a provision slyly added at the last minute is all but certain to deprive President Trump of the ability to defend himself. Expect a one-sided propaganda circus with Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam ...

President Trump has repeatedly slammed the secret impeachment hearings in the Capitol basement as a “kangaroo court.” Speaker Nancy Pelosi got the message. On Monday, she announced the full House will vote to formally launch impeachment proceedings that will be out in the open, instead of in the dark. Democrats have been trying to suggest ...

House Democrats are grilling a stream of disgruntled career diplomats in a basement hearing room of the Capitol. The hearings are supposed to be secret, but Democrats leak snippets of the testimony daily. They are hoping it will add up to a case for impeaching President Trump. So far, all the testimony actually proves is these State ...

President Trump’s key immigration rule change, to discourage immigrants from relying on public health programs, food stamps, housing assistance and other welfare, got derailed Friday by three federal judges. Their decisions, blocking Trump’s rule from going into effect, are wins for Democrats and immigration lobbyists. America’s poor are ...

New Yorkers assume that living here gives them access to the best hospitals. They’re in dreamland. Though a few institutions earn high marks — think NewYork-Presbyterian — overall hospitals in the state are among the worst in the nation, according to Medicare data. Forty-eight out of 151 graded hospitals received a rock-bottom one-star rating. ...

Employer health plans now cost a gigantic $20,576 a year for family coverage, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. Technically the employer pays most of it, but labor costs are labor costs. The more spent on benefits, the less on wages. That’s $20,000 out of a worker’s pocket. Money that could have bought a small car or upgraded a ...

If Democrats capture the White House in 2020, the policies that created the disease-ridden tent slums taking over Los Angeles and San Francisco will start heading your way.
Presidential hopeful Liz Warren insists that it’s wrong to ban living on the streets and in public parks. Bernie Sanders is calling for a 3% cap on annual rent hikes, the ...

It’s politically incorrect to discuss weight. Anyone who comments is accused of fat-shaming. But here’s the truth: America’s expanding waistlines are causing health spending to spiral out of control. Obesity-related illnesses consume nearly a third of the nation’s health-care dollars. Obesity is the culprit making health insurance ...

When it comes to health care, Democrats are selling snake oil. Americans are grappling with rising medical costs. But if they fall for the phony solutions the left is offering, they’ll pay with exorbitant taxes and shorter lives. Whopper 1: ObamaCare is affordable. Joe Biden’s running a television ad in Iowa pledging to stand by ObamaCare ...

Year after year, Congress should send their hard-earned money on foreign aid. It’s money down a rathole. Congress should take a page from Pope Francis instead. On Friday, the pope blamed foreign aid for corruption and destitution in Mozambique, a sub-Saharan country where he was preaching to thousands in an outdoor arena. Despite the ...

When you pick up your prescription at the pharmacy, it isn’t labelled “made in China,” but odds are that’s where many of your medications come from. President Trump is calling on US industries to manufacture here at home, instead of outsourcing to China. Drug companies — which now rely on China for active ingredients that go into ...

President Trump got slammed by all sides for suddenly escalating his economic war with China on Friday. But for Americans who have lost a family member or friend to the Chinese-made street drug fentanyl, Trump’s harsh pivot is the right move. He hiked tariffs on Chinese goods, labeled President Xi an “enemy” and told US companies manufacturing ...

President Trump said last week that “we are all Americans. We all share the same home” and “the same heart.” He warned that “radical Democrats are trying to tear this country apart” with identity politics. Left-wing activists are using the same divisive ideology to hijack our kids’ young minds. Across the country, leftists are demanding ...

When it comes to protecting yourself from cancer, don’t take the government’s word. Listen to the experts. The biggest cancer killer isn’t smoking, or a chemical in the environment, or even an inherited gene. It’s the failure to screen patients at high risk for the disease. Curing cancer is about detecting it early when it’s still treatable. ...

Baby boomers beware. If you are in your 50s or 60s, and you are counting on Medicare to pay your future hospital bills, you might be in for a shock. Medicare Part A — the fund that pays hospitals and nursing homes — is running out of money. A mere seven years from now, it will no longer have enough to pay your providers’ bills in full. ...

Reversing Obama-era restrictions could save many thousands of lives. ‘If I’m elected president,” Joe Biden says, “we’re going to cure cancer.” Mr. Biden has a personal interest in the disease, which killed his son Beau in 2015. But the Obama-Biden administration had a bad record on screening, the best way to save patients from cancer. When ...

Democrats see your paycheck as fair game for their endless social-improvement projects. Every Democrat vying for the White House backs federal legislation that would guarantee workers nearly three months of paid family medical leave every year. Sounds wonderful. We all favor caring for newborns and sick relatives. And working nine months ...

Word is spreading worldwide, even to sub-Saharan Africa, that the US has an open southern border and an open checkbook. This summer, thousands of Africans from Cameroon, Congo and other violence-plagued countries are forming caravans, preparing to cross our southern border, according to Customs and Border Protection reports. Border agents from ...

It’s official: Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez confirms his party fully endorses free health care for illegal immigrants. That puts illegals ahead of veterans struggling to qualify for civilian care, middle-class working stiffs priced out of ObamaCare and baby boomers facing the likelihood of Medicare cuts. At last ...

Nine Democratic presidential hopefuls, including frontrunners Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and Liz Warren, flocked to the Poor People’s Moral Action Congress on Monday, each trying to out-pander rivals and promise the most handouts. It was an alarming spectacle for anyone who works for a living. These Democratic candidates don’t believe jobs are ...

Events in Iowa this week show the Democratic Party is skidding off the rails. Nineteen Democrats running for president took the stage in Cedar Rapids on Sunday to woo voters. It was a circus of left-wingers going bonkers for things most Americans don’t want. The frontrunners back abortion any time before birth, abolishing ICE (the ...

The nation’s biggest meeting of cancer specialists unveiled several breakthroughs on Saturday. The horrible news is what’s not improving. Only a miniscule 4 percent of men and women at high risk of getting lung cancer from smoking go for a CT scan to detect it while it’s curable. That figure has barely budged in a decade. Lung cancer ...

House Democrats are jubilant over two court victories last week in their ongoing battle to get President Trump’s tax returns and ­decades of his personal and business banking records. But their glee won’t last long. The US Supreme Court is likely to overturn these federal district court rulings. Trump will prevail, along with taxpayer privacy ...

Housing shortages are plunging New York City and Los Angeles into crisis. Affordable rental units are scarce, families are doubling up, shelters are jam-packed and tens of thousands are sleeping sprawled on the streets of these two cities. The wait-list for public housing is more than four years long in LA and would be even longer if ...

This week, representatives from Facebook, Google and Twitter will join with French President Emmanuel Macron, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and other world leaders to launch a chilling proposal to curb free speech across the Internet. Americans should be alarmed. European elites are fast extinguishing Internet freedom on the ...

If you’re looking for work, this is the best job market in 50 years. The economy is soaring. But Democrats running for president are pitching plans that will destroy millions of jobs, doubling the number of people out of work. New Yorkers will be among the hardest hit. Consider Medicare for All. It will wipe out a staggering 2.5 ...

Presidential contender Liz Warren’s strategy is to win the Democratic nomination by promising the most free stuff. On Monday, she upped the ante: She is offering a whopping $50,000 in student loan forgiveness for nearly everyone who borrowed for college or graduate school. That’s old-fashioned, Tammany Hall-style bribery — handing out dollars ...

A killer germ is raging through some New York hospitals and nursing homes. But public health officials are deliberately keeping the public in the dark about it. New York state is ground zero for this germ, called Candida auris. Over half the nearly 600 cases nationwide are right here, mostly in New York City. New Jersey hospitals are also ...

House Democrats are demanding the Internal Revenue Service hand over President Trump’s tax returns. But neither Speaker Nancy Pelosi nor the other Dems making the demand are willing to disclose their own tax filings. Fat chance. Not in the House of Hypocrites. White House staff and the president’s lawyers are making it crystal clear that ...

“If the Supreme Court rules that ObamaCare is out, we’ll have a plan that is far better than ObamaCare,” President Trump pledged Wednesday. Democrats and their media toadies attacked, claiming Trump will sucker-punch consumers with “junk” plans, abandon people with pre-existing conditions and cause “around 20 million Americans” to lose ...

Driving while texting is so dangerous that it’s outlawed. But doctors and nurses are expected to care for patients while keeping their eyes glued to a computer screen, following prompts and clicking boxes. Some electronic health-record systems require 62 clicks just to order Tylenol, and a full ER shift involves 4,000 clicks. No wonder ...

Politicians are pushing to legalize recreational marijuana in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, following 10 other states. But the Parent Teacher Association, local health officials and pediatricians are pushing back, warning about the permanent damage to youngsters’ brains caused by weed. If you have children, trust the PTA, not the ...

President Trump launched another battle for border security on Monday, calling for $8.6 billion in funding for the Wall in his proposed federal budget for next year. Predictably, top Democrats came out swinging, bashing a border wall as “expensive and ineffective.” Truth is, the Democrats aren’t leveling with the public about the billions we ...

Universities that limit the freedom of speech are about to get clobbered big time. President Trump came out swinging Saturday against the higher-education establishment for violating our nation’s most fundamental value: free expression, guaranteed in the First Amendment to the Constitution. During a winsome, two-hour speech at the annual ...

Critics call President Trump a diplomatic wrecking ball who has overstepped his powers, while his supporters admiringly watch as he takes on foreign policy challenges that previous presidents just ignored or left to diplomatic “experts.” Who’s right? This week the rubber meets the road. Trump’s highly personal approach to negotiating with ...

Ever since Amazon’s breakup with New York on Valentine’s Day, dejected Mayor Bill de Blasio has been complaining that corporations shouldn’t be able to play one local government against others for tax breaks. “I don’t think it’s really fair to pit city against city and state against state,” Hizzoner whined, sounding like a jilted suitor. Grow ...

Democrats are fighting to expand a woman’s “right to choose,” no matter how far along her pregnancy. They claim that late-term abortions are rare and done only when the mother’s health or life is at stake or the fetus suffers from a fatal condition. That’s false. Here’s the truth: At least 12,000 late-term abortions take place every year in ...

Democrats, now the majority in the House of Representatives, are trying to turn that body into the House of Resistance. They’re claiming the nation is in bad shape, rigged to benefit only the rich. Hours before the president spoke, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer griped that “the state of the Trump economy is failing America’s middle ...

Leftist Democrats eyeing the White House in 2020 are plotting new ways to confiscate Americans’ hard-earned money and give it away. Claiming economic inequality is a national crisis, they want to take money from people they say have too much. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts is one of several prominent Democrats pushing a wealth tax. ...

There’s trouble ahead for banks, Wall Street and upscale suburbs — not to mention President Trump. Elections have consequences, and November’s midterms put the firebrand Rep. Maxine Waters of California in charge of the House Financial Services Committee. That gives her power over banking, the securities and insurance industries and the ...

In a crowded field of Democrats vying for the presidency in 2020, one thing stands out. “Medicare for All” tops the party’s agenda. On Tuesday, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand threw her hat in the ring, ­becoming the latest announced candidate pledging to make universal health care a reality. But these candidates would rather walk on hot coals than ...

The US Department of Labor jobs report, released Friday, shows eye-popping gains, concluding a year that has been great for workers. Hourly wages shot up after 10 years of stagnation and real household income reached its highest level in history. Bottom line: Anyone who wants a job can get one in President Trump’s economy. “If we’re not right ...

On Friday, President Trump froze pay rates for the civilian federal work force, canceling their automatic 2.1 percent raise for 2019. It’s the right decision, notwithstanding the howls of union bosses and Democrats. And it’s far more consequential than the mere delay of workers’ paychecks during the shutdown. Federal workers already collect ...

Talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel is mocking the “very dopey people” contributing to a GoFundMe campaign to support President Trump’s southern border wall. All Kimmel has got to lose by ­insulting backers of the wall is his ratings. But Democrats are risking a voter backlash by stonewalling Trump’s demand for border funding and by claiming that ...

A federal district judge in Texas struck down the Affordable Care Act as unconstitutional Friday. The lawsuit was brought by Republican officials from 20 states, who want their residents to have more insurance choices and lower premiums. Though the suing states won in Texas v. Azar, their victory won’t help consumers reeling from ...

Congressional Dems are butting heads with President Trump over his demand for ­$5 billion to continue building a wall along the southern border. Likely incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi vows she won’t spend one dollar for a wall and calls the idea “immoral.” Not building the wall is what’s truly immoral. Allowing poor migrants to flood ...

Auto tariffs were the big takeaway from this weekend’s meeting between President Trump and Chinese leaders. The aim was to de-escalate the trade war, but the real threat to American auto jobs isn’t Chinese tariffs on US-made cars. It’s Beijing’s plan to flood the US with cut-rate cars made with low-paid labor. After the trade powwow, ...

If you have a retirement fund or pension, or you’re a taxpayer, get ready to have your pockets picked. The Obama administration wants Congress to enact a bankruptcy plan for Puerto Rico, forcing holders of Puerto Rican debt (including New York City pension funds) to settle for less than they’re owed. Puerto Rico is over $70 billion in debt ...

President Obama is heading to Cuba in two weeks, eager to unveil more travel and trade concessions to the country’s Communist regime. But is he too eager to befriend Fidel and Raul Castro, no matter the price? Members of Congress fear the president will cave to Cuba’s demand to hand over the U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay.

The Obama administration will tell any lie and break any law to prevent the president's signature health-care program from collapsing. Insurance companies such as UnitedHealthcare and Aetna are losing billions trying to sell ObamaCare plans, and the risk is they'll drop out at the end of 2016. No insurance companies means no ObamaCare.

Hillary Clinton is attacking rival Bernie Sanders, calling his plan to replace ObamaCare with socialist single-payer health care a "risky deal" and unaffordable. She's telling Democrats the survival of the Affordable Care Act depends on her winning the presidency."The stakes couldn't be higher," she warned Iowa voters, and in Sunday's ...

Bush v. Gore decided a single election. But the case heard by the Supreme Court on Monday could impact elections for many years.The Justices' remarks during arguments in Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association point to a major setback looming for public unions. The court will likely rule that teachers and other unionized public workers ...

Across the U.S. temperatures are plunging, making it deadly for the homeless who refuse to go into shelters. Each year hundreds of these vagrants die from exposure on the streets.Yet blinded by progressive ideology, so-called "advocates" for the homeless — including the Obama administration — are defending a "right" to stay on the streets. Even ...

How dare the Obama administration bail out insurance companies with our money in order to hide ObamaCare's failures!Last Thursday, just hours after giant insurer UnitedHealth Care said it's losing money selling ObamaCare plans and will likely exit the health exchanges next year, the administration quietly promised to bail out insurers for ...

On the campaign trail, Hillary Clinton begins with her own family's past — her factory-worker grandfather and her father's rise to become a small-business owner.In New Hampshire last week, she vowed to rebuild the "ladders of opportunity" that she claims have disappeared. It's rousing political rhetoric. Problem is, it's not true.Contrary ...

ObamaCare is heading toward a death spiral.

The administration is having trouble selling insurance plans to healthy people. That's a big problem: When the young and healthy don't enroll, premiums have to be hiked to cover the costs of older and sicker people, discouraging even more young people from signing up. ...

Last week brought more disturbing revelations about Hillary Clinton's emails.
A majority of Americans think that she's lying about what she did as Secretary of State and what she's done since to cover up, according to a new Fox News poll.As the scandal hounds her, she's trying to lose the scent by announcing a plan to expand and ...

Robert McDonald, head of the Department of Veterans Affairs, claims he's making "great progress" delivering health care to vets and turning around the agency's mismanagement and corruption. Don't believe him.Right now, more than 35,000 combat vets who are automatically eligible for VA care are stuck on hold because the VA's enrollment process ...

Look out, Grandma: Medicare said on Wednesday it wants to start paying for end-of-life counseling.
It's being sold as "death with dignity," but it's more like dying for dollars. Seniors are nudged to forego life-sustaining procedures and hospital care to go into hospice. That enriches the booming hospice industry and also frees up dollars for ...

Consumers and businesses won big on Monday, when the Supreme Court struck down an Environmental Protection Agency regulation on coal plant emissions because the EPA failed to consider whether the costs outweighed the benefits.Not the cost to government, mind you. The cost to us, as consumers and business owners, to comply.The court's 5-4 ...

Obama inequality warriors plan to export poverty from the city. An African-American millionaire can buy a home in any expensive suburb. Color is no longer a barrier. Despite this progress, President Obama’s Department of Housing and Urban Development is accusing expensive towns of racism, simply because most minorities can’t afford to ...

A Supreme Court ruling against the law would only hurt insurers. Last week health insurers announced they will hike premiums on Obamacare plans by double digits in 2016. That's not a problem for consumers eligible for Obamacare's taxpayer-funded subsidies. Their cost is calculated based on their income.It's you — the taxpayers — who get ...

SUBWAY platforms and bus shelters have become the newest targets of political correctness.The mass transit agencies in Washington, New York and Philadelphia have all moved to ban political advertising, in response to the American Freedom Defense Initiative, a group known for criticizing Islam.In Philadelphia, a federal judge in March ordered ...

Her agreement protected the Clinton Foundation, but not the nation. Contrary to what has been reported in The New York Times, the Clinton Foundation never agreed to stop raising money from foreign governments while Hillary was secretary of state. Money from foreign governments should have been off-limits. It risks the appearance that ...

Contrary to what has been reported in the New York Times and elsewhere, the Clinton Foundation never agreed to stop raising money from foreign governments while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state.Taking money from foreign governments should be off limits. It risks the appearance that American foreign policy is up for sale. During ...

New Hampshire makes presidents. The way it's done was in full view last weekend, when sixteen Republican hopefuls pressed into the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Nashua, for two days of Q & A and coffee huddles with local voters. It was democracy at its best.Since 1952, winning the presidency almost always starts with a win in the New ...

ObamaCare is making the least popular day — April 15 — even worse. For about 1 in 4 tax filers, it's turning out to be a nightmare, with extra paperwork and penalties. And for high-earners or anyone selling a piece of property or business, it means higher taxes.If you enrolled in ObamaCare in 2014 and got a subsidy to pay for it, you're at risk ...

The big spenders are still outmanning the forces of fiscal restraint. The Republican majority’s budget plan — enacted in a blitz of votes before lawmakers rushed home for spring break — tells us which Republican presidential hopefuls are serious about halting the nation’s soaring debt. Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Rand Paul of Kentucky ...

Ted Cruz of Texas and Rand Paul of Kentucky voted against the GOP plan because it spends too much, while Sens. Lindsey ...

Hillary Clinton's expected presidential run is being hailed as a chance to shatter the glass ceiling.That, of course, is nonsense. Hillary rose to power solely on her husband's sleazy coattails. She's not self-made. And it shows.The recent email scandal is the latest in a lifelong pattern of entitlement and hubris — traits successful women ...

Hospital patients are needlessly dying by the thousands. Just when you thought it couldn’t get worse at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), after their deadly fumbling on Ebola and measles, new data show the agency vastly underestimated the threat of a superbug raging through our hospitals and nursing homes. Data from a ...

Senators ignored the scheme when they rubber-stamped Kerry for top diplomat. Congress is struggling to thwart President Obama’s attempt to strike a nuclear deal with Iran on his own, in violation of the Constitution. Lawmakers are taking unprecedented measures — the invitation to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Corker-Menendez ...

Congress is struggling to thwart President Obama's attempt to strike a nuclear deal with Iran on his own, in violation of the Constitution. Lawmakers are taking unprecedented measures — the invitation to Netanyahu, the Corker-Menendez bill and even a letter to Tehran — to stop it.
None of this would be necessary if the Senate had done its ...

On Wednesday, the fate of ObamaCare is in front of the Supreme Court again. At stake are the subsidies intended to make ObamaCare plans "affordable."
The letter of the law allows consumers to get subsidies only in the 14 states that set up their own exchanges, not in the rest that didn't. But the Obama administration is ignoring that and ...

For five years, President Obama has ridiculed Republicans for not having "a meaningful alternative" to ObamaCare. The tables are turning.
Republicans announced a plan on Wednesday, just two weeks before the Supreme Court will hear a new, major challenge to the health law. If the president loses in court, he will have to deal with this ...

Even Republicans gushed with enthusiasm when President Barack Obama announced funding for personalized medicine during the State of the Union last week.
"I am launching a new precision medicine initiative," Obama said, to usher in a "new era of medicine, one that delivers the right treatment at the right time."
Sounds good, but don't be ...

You need to know how much more coercive "health reform" could be if Hillary Clinton were to be elected president.

A new ABC News/Washington Post poll shows that 61% of Democratic voters support Clinton for president in 2016, which is far more support than other possible contenders have. ObamaCare's future is uncertain, with the Supreme Court revisiting the law and Republicans now in ...

If you want to know how your tax dollars will get spent next year, the answers are in Cromnibus — the 1,695-page bill that Congress hurriedly passed last weekend to fund the federal government through September 2015.
Republicans won big with Cromnibus, along with farmers, political parties, incandescent bulb users, Blue Cross insurers, kids ...

Jonathan Gruber, the MIT economist caught repeatedly on video calling the American public "stupid" and saying deception was essential to pass ObamaCare, was dragged before the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday for a grilling.
But he was a stand-in for the real culprit, President Obama. Lying about the health law originated at the top. In ...

The ObamaCare lies keep coming. In two highly publicized announcements last week, top Obama health officials claimed the Affordable Care Act is slowing health-care spending and improving hospital safety.
The media parroted these boasts, but the evidence shows they're bogus.
Even as administration figures — from President Obama down — ...

We have two major parties in the nation now: the Republican Party and the Banana Republic Party, otherwise known as Democrats. The difference between them is over the rule of law.

When President Obama appointed judges without Senate approval, made environmental law without Congress and rewrote his health law two dozen times, Republicans protested that Obama was shredding the Constitution. Most Democratic lawmakers turned a blind eye to the ...

We can applaud health workers and take the prudent steps at the same time. President Barack Obama and Kaci Hickox, a nurse who returned from treating Ebola patients in Sierra Leone on October 24, are attacking states' efforts to keep returning health-care workers away from the public for 21 days. Governors in New Jersey, Illinois, ...

On Sunday, health officials announced that a nurse who had treated Ebola-infected Liberian Thomas Eric Duncan has the virus and is in isolation at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, the same hospital where Duncan died.

This news exposes the falsehood behind the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) repeated assurances for months that "U.S. hospitals can safely manage patients with Ebola." That's a whopper. ...

President Obama is golfing on Martha's Vineyard and Congress is adjourned for a five week vacation. So who's minding the nation's capitol? No one.

Truth is, no one is ever minding that store. A string of disgraceful revelations in the weeks before politicians packed up for vacation shows that Washington is permanently mired in a culture of hazardous waste. ...

As part of the Obama administration's "give away the store" mentality, encouraging the masses to sign up for government programs at taxpayers' expense, Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew on Monday urged Congress to provide more resources for the exploding number of people on permanent ...

Obamacare in Critical Condition—Facing Death Spiral. Yesterday, a federal appeals court slapped down the Obama administration in a 2-1 ruling that could kill the president's signature health care law.

If upheld by the Supreme Court, the ruling would force Congress back to the drawing board to design a health law that is actually affordable rather than simply bearing the false title "Affordable Care Act." ...

On July 3, when Americans were preparing to celebrate freedom, the Obama administration reduced freedom by adding 1,296 pages of regulations to ObamaCare. The burdensome rules were published in the Federal Register on Independence Day eve, when few were likely to be watching. So much ...

The United States Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores Inc. that if you like your God, you can keep your God, even if you run a business.

The Obama administration tried to require that health plans provided at work cover contraception and morning-after pills, no matter what an employer's religious convictions. ...

Congressional testimony on outlandish bonuses at the Department of Veterans Affairs is the latest proof that the nation needs to overhaul how federal workers in every department are paid and promoted. They're on the gravy train, and taxpayers are being taken for a ride.

Back in 1883, Congress passed the Pendleton Act to replace patronage with a federal civil service where workers would be hired and paid based on merit. There is no "merit" anymore. Scramble the letters. What you have now is a "timer" system. Workers put in time and get ...

The Commonwealth Fund released Monday a bag-of-tricks report claiming that America has the worst healthcare system in the developed world and Great Britain the best. But actual data show the opposite. For example, a woman diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States has an 89% chance of surviving it, higher than anywhere in Europe.
...

Richard Wilson, age 64, survived two tours in Vietnam. But he's afraid he won't survive the wait at his local VA hospital.

Warned seven months ago that circulation blockages in his legs put him at imminent risk of a fatal heart attack or amputations, he called and emailed the VA daily. ...

Encouraging vets on Medicare to use civilian care instead of Veterans ­Affairs’ could cut the ­patient backlog at the VA by as much as half, solving a national crisis.

Almost half of vets are older than 65, and nearly all vets using the VA have Medicare coverage. Often, they’d be better off getting their bypass surgeries and cancer operations at civilian hospitals that do higher volumes of these age-related procedures and have better ...

On May 7, the Obama administration boasted that ObamaCare was improving health-care quality for seniors, and it pulled out a bag of statistical tricks to prove it. But a closer look shows that it’s not improving care. It’s skimping on it, socking seniors with unexpected bills for “observation care” and likely shortening ...

Leave it to President Obama and Democrats in Congress to enact what they billed as "comprehensive" health reform and overlook the plight of 8.5 million veterans.

That's what they did in 2010 when they passed ObamaCare. It provides coverage for convicts and even for newcomers to this country with no waiting period, but it does nothing to help the nation's veterans, who have suffered waiting for care in the Veterans Affairs system for ...

The nation was shocked by charges that more than 1,400 vets lingered and 40 died on a secret waiting list at the Phoenix VA medical center. The list was concocted to conceal long waits for care.

But what you haven't heard is even worse. ...

U.S. senators and governors from nine Western states held a first-ever summit on Friday in Salt Lake City to win more control over the vast swaths of federal land in their states. The summit had been planned before the standoff between the federal Bureau of Land Management and Nevada cattle rancher Cliven Bundy a week earlier had focused ...

President Obama on Friday used the long-awaited resignation of Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius to claim victory for his namesake health law. "She got it fixed, got the job done," he said. Don't believe him.

The law is referred to as ObamaCare, not Sebelius care. And sadly, there's plenty of trouble ahead. Aside from the Healthcare.gov fiasco, few of ObamaCare's problems are due to Sebelius alone. They are either baked in the law or caused by the hard-sell way the president has ...
