Rival groups sprang up and donations slowed. Sarsour & Read More…

It’s now been seven days since The New York Times corrected — er, retracted — its attack against Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

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 unaffordable. The politicians won’t tell you that. (Too Read More…

The MTA’s leaders released a fine five-year capital plan this week, though by its nature it dodges the toughest issues about the agency’s future.

In the last few weeks, the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog revealed that Iran is hindering an investigation into a secret nuclear facility where uranium has been detected.

Bill de Blasio, the man who introduced the seven-hour work month to New York’s how-to-be-a-mayor manual, went on “Morning Joe” Friday to deep-six his humiliating LSD trip of a presidential campaign.“It’s clearly not my time,” said the mayor.
