On Dec. 10, Senator Richard Blumenthal (D., Conn.) argued against confirming Lawrence VanDyke to the U.S. Court of Appeals. Doing so, he said, would depart from “bedrock principles that once guided the exercise of the Senate’s constitutional duty to advise and consent” on the president’s nominations. Blumenthal neglected to mention some important information that puts Read More…
The case against Michael Bloomberg’s presidential run seems strong. He’s a political chameleon, who went from Democrat to Republican (in order to find a place on the New York City ballot in 2001) to Independent to Democrat (again). He spent a lot of money in politics. Some of it helping Republicans, such as Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Read More…
For years Montana values have been under attack by liberal Democratic governors in Helena. They impose their radical agendas on the state, and Montana becomes less and less the state we all know and love. In November 2020, we need to put a stop to this. We need to elect strong conservatives up and down Read More…
In a vacuum, the case to impeach President Trump is straightforward. He used presidential powers for his private, political gain. If further investigation corroborates the facts already known, then Trump committed an obvious abuse of power that many members of Congress will view as impeachable — and perhaps many more would if the party labels Read More…

Trump’s increasingly egregious abuses made 2019 one of the most corrupt years in US history. But we can hope for a measure of accountability in 2020.
Across perceived differences, women share an agenda that prioritizes health, safety, economic and caregiving issues that are central to their lives.
Almost 20 years ago, I wore a local beauty crown but couldn’t get any further. These beautiful black queens will empower communities across the globe.
This resolution has more parts than grown Trump children profiting off his presidency. Hopefully it’ll help us make a new start. One 2016 was enough.
These autonomous weapons are not science fiction, they’re an existential threat. Public pressure is the key to an international treaty to ban them.
Culture critic: Populism Won’t Die Anytime Soon Just as the “1960s” (as a zeitgeist) didn’t begin until JFK’s 1963 assassination and end until Richard Nixon’s 1974 resignation, so the “populist epoch” of the 2010s “may be only beginning,” argues Matthew Continetti in Commentary. Popular rage against elites began with the Great Recession, boiled over under…
Among the institutions of the so-called international community, anti-Israel bias is so prevalent and obvious, it’s taken for granted and almost funny. The year-end statistics from the UN General Assembly tell nearly the whole story: Of the 25 condemnatory resolutions passed this year, 18 targeted the world’s sole Jewish state. As I said, almost funny….
Two-thousand-nineteen was the tale of two marquee stock offerings: America’s Uber and Saudi Arabia’s Aramco, the world’s biggest oil company. Superficially, Uber is a failure, and Aramco is a success: Uber stock sank; Aramco stock rose. But really, it’s the other way around. Uber’s “failure” shows the success of American-style free markets in disciplining companies….
Think the sharp uptick in subway graffiti is just an eyesore? Think again: As Nathan Glazer wrote back in 1979, it can fuel serious disorder — and crime. Graffiti vandalism in the subway tripled from 200 incidents five years ago to 619 last year, and 537 so far this year, The Post reported last week….
Gov. Andrew Cuomo is calling for a “panel of experts” to “reexamine” bringing high-speed rail to New York, he announced last week. He’s hoping to pull off what governors before him could only dream of. Alas, it’s still “sheer fantasy,” as the Empire Center’s E.J. McMahon puts it. Certainly, the costs of building out high-speed…
Incoming Queens DA Melinda Katz is vowing to clean house when she takes office in January, dismissing holdovers from Richard Brown’s near-30-year tenure. Take it as an ominous sign. Katz hopes to prove her far-left criminal-justice cred by hiring “true believers,” even if it means jettisoning the decades of prosecutorial experience of the top staff….

I wish to respectfully differ with Mark Gallis editorial.
If you thought you cant top the stupidity we experienced in 2019, brace yourself for 2020 because its going to be a pronoun-fueled weather cult pinko freakshow.
Today, liberalism is at the forefront. Liberalism is the curriculum.
ANALYSIS/OPINION: For a century and a half, America has been California dreaming. The Golden State is a uniquely blessed state in many ways: A stunning geography, temperate weather, oil. and not to mention the original economic engine that powered the ‘49ers, gold, are among its sterling assets. It’s little wonder, then, that for decades, Americans Read More…
ANALYSIS/OPINION: The progressive parrots ‘group think’ about all manner of folderol that their adherents, on bended knee and genuflecting vigorously, confirm as received wisdom (“New Yorker editor David Remnick: ‘It’s a source of great frustration’ people still support Trum,” Web, Dec. 23). That President Trump disrupts their cocoon with rude tweets and tantrums as he Read More…
Anti-Semitic attacks continue to shake our city and state. Last week, eight attacks — including four in just in 48 hours — sent a familiar shockwave rippling through the Jewish community. Then Saturday came the horrific stabbing in Monsey, New York. The poison of Jew-hatred is spreading. Like many of you, I’m thinking, “Not this…
Laugh with us about the famed butter cow if you must, but don’t put us — and our hometowns — down.
Despite pop culture depictions of marriage in decline and not worth the effort, the story of the death of marriage in America is greatly exaggerated.

The term, turning the screws can probably be traced back to 17th century Europe.
As 2019 ends, the positive economic news regularly astounds financial experts.
As I write this column, just days before New Year’s Eve 2019, we are being bombarded by great news about the U.S. economy under President Donald Trump.
Laws that restricted the sale of cigarettes to those 18 or older didn’t stop me.
Taxpayers in California and New York shoulder some of the heaviest tax burdens in the nation, and now new data show the two have something else in common: Their growth rates have slowed.
State and local employees who pad their pension payments by chalking up overtime as they near retirement could cost taxpayers a whopping $32 billion to $54 billion over the next 20 years, a new report found.
If you tried too hard to be funny, Don Imus wouldn’t help you with fake laughter. If you tried to poke fun at him and he wasn’t in the mood, he’d flatten you.
The latest call to action from some criminal-justice activists: “Abolish the police.” From the streets of Chicago to the city council of Seattle, and in the pages of academic journals ranging from the Cardozo Law Review to the Harvard Law Review and of mainstream publications from the Boston Review to Rolling Stone, advocates and activists…
