The Left’s New Approach: Hide the Science

Forget following the science. Now it’s about hiding the science—at least when it comes to experimental gender transition medical procedures for children. “U.S. Study on Puberty Blockers Goes Unpublished Because of Politics, Doctor Says,” blares a New York Times headline earlier this week. This study, which involved putting 95 children struggling with gender dysphoria on puberty blockers, was led by Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy, a physician at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles who has long been involved in promoting experimental medical treatments for minors. It would seem that the study, which followed the children…

Google AI’s Attempt to ‘Solve’ Racial ‘Injustice’ Highlights Left’s Wrongheaded Approach to Race

“Happy Days” thought they had a great idea for juicing ratings back in 1977, featuring an episode where “the Fonz” jumped a real-life shark on water skis. It didn’t do much for the ratings of the show, but it did help coin a phrase. Today, “jumping the shark” denotes when something popular reaches a point where it may have exhausted most good ideas, so it does something so far-fetched or exaggerated to gain attention that it may indicate a peak and is now headed toward decline.

Liberal legislators in high-tax states like New York, New Jersey, and California seem determined to make sure that their own high-income constituents pay for as little of their big spending plan as possible. Recently, the House of Representatives passed the largest expansion of means-tested welfare spending in U.S. history, along with hundreds of billions of new corporate welfare. In addition to about $ 2 trillion of new taxes in the bill, fully funding the so-called Build Back Better Act would require multitrillion-dollar tax increases in the future. Members of congress…

Debunking the American Left’s Biggest Myths About Europe

Remember when Sen. Bernie Sanders pointed to Europe as the solution for America’s problems? “I think we should look to countries like Denmark, like Sweden and Norway,” Sanders, I-Vt., said during a 2016 presidential debate, “and learn what they have accomplished for their working people.” He’s not alone. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said, “What we have in mind and what my policies most closely resemble are what we see in the U.K., Norway, in Finland, in Sweden.” These self-proclaimed socialists profess that a European model is superior to the United…
