The Politically Incorrect Reality About How to Boost Access to American Dream

Politically, Incorrect, Access, about, American, boost, Dream, reality0 comment

If you want to increase access to the American dream, there’s one simple trick.  But there’s a catch: It’s not a very politically correct reality.  Simply put, to optimize any kid’s chance at success, he needs to grow up with married parents.  A new book, “The Two-Parent Privilege: How Americans Stopped Getting Married and Started Falling Behind,” shows just how starkly a child’s life can be affected based on whether he grows up with married parents or a single parent.  “[M]ounds of social science evidence … shows how the odds…

Abraham Accords Needed ‘More Than Ever’ as Israel-Hamas War Escalates

Abraham, IsraelHamas, accords, ever, more, needed, than, escalates0 comment

The escalating Israel-Hamas war means that the Abraham Accords between Israel and two former enemies in the Middle East “are needed now more than ever,” Jared Kushner said in a post last week on social media. Kushner should know. As a top White House aide as well as son-in-law to then-President Donald Trump, Kushner was instrumental in achieving the Abraham Accords, which normalized relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and between Israel and Bahrain. I joined former Italian Prime Minister @matteorenzi this morning at #FII7 to discuss conflict…

Barely six months after South Carolina lawmakers approved legislation allowing K-12 students to customize their education, the state affiliate of the National Education Association is attempting to force children to remain in assigned public schools.    The South Carolina Education Association is the latest in a long line of education special-interest groups that oppose parental rights and have sought to limit students’ learning options through litigation. National teachers unions and their state affiliates have filed suits against parental choice in education in Arizona, Florida, New Hampshire, Ohio, Puerto Rico—the list goes…

Capital Crime Wave Prompts DC Mayor’s Major Reversal on Police Restraints

Amid escalating crime in the nation’s capital, President Joe Biden went to bat for a “police reform” law passed by the D.C. Council by vetoing a bipartisan congressional measure that would have overturned it. Now, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser wants to roll back the same law that Biden protected.  The House Oversight and Accountability Committee, whose oversight includes the District of Columbia, held two hearings earlier this year on the D.C. crime problem.  “Unfortunately, President Biden refused to stand by the Metropolitan Police Department and allowed the D.C. Council’s anti-police…

Joe Biden: The Ayatollahs’ Best Friend Forever

Best, Biden, forever, friend, Ayatollahs’0 comment

President Joe Biden showed leadership and courage this week by flying into an active war zone to personify solidarity with America’s embattled friends and allies in Israel. Too bad Biden’s appeasement of Iran made the trip necessary. Perhaps Biden went to Tel Aviv to atone for his years of financial assistance to the ayatollahs. Biden’s folly—believing that kindness would tame the mullahs—exploded in his face on Oct. 7: Iran’s Hamas puppets shocked Israel with the most brutal attack that it has endured since the Yom Kippur War, almost 50 years…

Pro-Palestinian Protesters Block White House, Demand Biden Push for Gaza Cease-fire

It was difficult to hear any mention from protesters outside the White House on Monday about the deadly terrorist attack by Hamas on Israel, as hundreds chanted “free Palestine” and vowed to block the White House until the Biden administration demanded a cease-fire. One group of protesters sat outside an entrance to the White House chanting, “From the river to the sea, Palestine shall be free.” That slogan implies the eradication of Israel. Pro-Palestine protesters actually said “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” It’s not clear…
