Reducing the government’s real property portfolio: Meeting the moment

portfolio, Government's, meeting, Moment, Real, Property, Reducing0 comment

The hybrid and remote work paradigms spawned by COVID, coupled with the severe downsizing of the federal workforce, are resulting in a surfeit of federal office space, both owned and leased. Add the aging of the federal inventory and the growing cost and impact of decades of deferred maintenance, and literally hundreds of government properties nationwide have the potential to be vacated and disposed of. And yet, in the world of federal real estate, there persists the sense that despite all the alignment on the requirement for action, the government…

‘Vibe Shift’ Is Real But the Left Is as Unhinged as Ever

Left, Real, Vibe’, Unhinged, ever, shift0 comment

The Democrat Party is controlled by the woke Left and one seismic election loss isn’t going to change that. Right now, they are in chaos and looking for answers about how to wiggle their way back into power. On one hand, you have congressional Democrats making fools of themselves by using the absurd protest tactics of the college campus Left and embracing cringing TikTok-style social media campaigns that were only briefly trendy three years ago. On the other hand, you have a few clever politicians with national aspirations—like California Gov. Gavin Newsom—who…

The Overlooked (But Real) Possibility of a Big Democratic Win

Democratic, possibility, Real, Overlooked0 comment

Democrats have spent the past year talking much more about the prospect of a Donald Trump victory than about their own. The relentless focus on Trump is understandable, but it has obscured a central reality of the 2024 election: Democrats have a real chance to sweep the presidency, House, and Senate. And if they do, their congressional majority would likely be more cohesive and progressive than during President Joe Biden’s first two years in office. Biden’s deficit in the polls is much smaller than the party’s panic suggests and has…

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, on Friday issued an executive order prohibiting gender-transition surgeries on minors in his state and issued draft administrative rules on so-called gender-affirming care for minors and adults. DeWine’s directives came a week after his Dec. 29 veto of House Bill 68, the Saving Adolescents from Experimentation (SAFE) Act, which would restrict any gender-affirming care for minors in Ohio and bar biological males who “identify” as females from participating in girls’ and women’s interscholastic athletics. Heritage Foundation legal scholar Sarah Parshall Perry herewith takes issue with…

The Real Issue in the UAW Strike

Strike, Real, Issue0 comment

The United Automobile Workers’ strike against the Big Three manufacturers that began earlier today is exacerbating the most significant political vulnerability of President Joe Biden’s drive to build a clean-energy economy. A trio of bills Biden passed through Congress during his first two years in the Oval Office has generated a torrent of private-sector investment into clean-energy projects. But so far most of that green investment and the jobs it will create are flowing into red-leaning communities that are generally hostile to both the Democratic Party and labor unions. Congressional…

Mother’s Day Presents an Opportunity to Honor and Stand Up for Real Women

It’s a man’s world again. We’ve won. We’ve seized women’s sports, parenting titles, and Woman of the Year and Prom Queen awards. The gals were making headway there for a while, but now the men are back on top. I can still remember them, although their memory fades by the day—actual women, that is. Once upon a time, women had domains all to themselves, free from male interference—their own sports, doctors, locker rooms, and dressing rooms. Not to mention achievements such as “first female four-star officer of the U.S. Public…
