New York magazine’s Jonathan Chait admires Bernie Sanders’s willingness (eagerness?) to raise taxes so as to “finance the kind of social benefits American liberals would prefer.” That’s why Chait is disappointed that Sanders opposes Philadelphia’s proposed three-cents-per-ounce tax on sugar-sweetened drinks, revenue from which would fund citywide pre-kindergarten and other programs. In a Tuesday…

Un informe sobre la violencia que estalló en una escuela de Los Ángeles por la habilitación de un baño de género neutral rezumaba parcialidad en la forma en que la presentó Telemundo, la cadena hermana de NBC, al ofrecer las opiniones de tres dirigentes, activistas y estudiantes a favor y sólo un oponente.

Here is what presidential aspirant Sen. Bernie Sanders said: "I believe that health care is a right of all people."

President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in his January 1944 message to Congress, called for "the…

Yesterday was supposed to be a glorious day for the people involved in organizing something they called the "Million Student March." On Monday, they had priceless free publicity provided by leftist luminaries at the Huffington Post. They had a new source of support and participation from the "Black Liberation Collective."

In a variation on a popular saying in real estate — "The three most important factors are location, location and location" — the State of Connecticut, since Democrat Dannel Malloy became Governor five years ago, has employed three strategies to balance its budget: raising taxes, raising taxes, and raising taxes. The Nutmeg State's next planned round of tax increases includes a proposal pushed by…

As noted in my previous post, the press is determined that the world not learn of profound statements made by world leaders it despises. The specific reference was to Israeli Prime Mininster Benjamin Netanyahu's five-word admonishment to those who believe that some accommodation can be reached with Islamic terrorists: "Terrorists Have No Resolvable Grievances." Meanwhile, the press protects…

Brace yourselves, parents: Hillary Clinton's Fed Ed jackboot squad is from the government and is here to "help."

Turns out, the average college president is making $377,261 per year, more than twice the annual haul for the average CEO, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and CBSNews.com. Academia is known to be a bastion of liberal…

Kansas City-based New York Times reporter John Eligon, most noted at NewsBusters for calling Kansas Republicans “conservative” or "right-wing" every other word, sympathetically covered the proposed shuttering of an Afro-centric school in Chicago: “Poor Scores Leave Afrocentric Schools Vulnerable -- Chicago Academy, Lauded for Instilling Pride and Confidence, Faces Closing.” Eligon mostly skipped…

Fox Business Network's Varney & Co. stood out on Friday for covering how far-left protesters violently attacked conservative writer Ben Shaprio's lecture at California State University-Los Angeles on Thursday. Stuart Varney trumpeted that "free speech took another hit," after Black Lives Matter and other radical activists blocked people from entering Shapiro's event. Varney noted that "…

Ronald Reagan’s admirers called him the Great Communicator, but to his detractors he was more like the Great Demonizer, crystallizing hostility toward groups ranging from the poor to left-wing protesters at UC Berkeley.
