Regulation

Joe Scarborough was back on his anti-social-media hobbyhorse again on today's Morning Joe. He and the panel were reacting to items in the news: the testimony of Instagram's CEO yesterday before a Senate committee, and an advisory from the Surgeon General warning about a mental health crisis among young people. Scarborough's solution was to hold social media companies like Instagram liable for…

The New York Times had an unusual red pill moment and actually threw cold water on the hype behind President Joe Biden’s huge $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill signed into law earlier this month.

Remember those “shovel-ready jobs” promised by the Obama-Biden administration in 2011? When many failed to appear after passage of this spending boondoggle, President Obama joked, “Shovel-ready was not as shovel-ready as we expected.” That law, noted Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW), cost $787 billion, of which $48 billion was supposed to go for infrastructure. It was disingenuously…

“Why does Louisiana have the right to stop me from doing what I love to do?” asks Ursula Newell-Davis in my new video. Newell-Davis has helped people. She's a social worker who's worked with kids with special needs for 20 years. She's really good at it. “She helped teach me how to talk to people,” says Kamal, who never had friends before. His mother adds, “She explained to me things that I…

New York Times economist Paul Krugman appears to have finally admitted defeat on the issue of inflation, adding another notch to his belt of being consistently wrong on economic issues.

As the COP26 climate summit raged in Glasgow, Scotland, the past couple of weeks, PBS churned out plenty of taxpayer-funded doom and gloom predictions, and, at worst, even seemed to defend the irrational "climate anxiety" felt by some school children who have sadly been indoctrinated by the liberal media on the issue.

The inflation crisis has gotten so bad that multiple liberal outlets are now admitting that it spells disaster for President Joe Biden’s economic agenda. CNBC published an eye-opening piece headlined, “Inflation has taken away all the wage gains for workers and then some.” The story analyzed that “[r]eal average hourly earnings when accounting for inflation, actually decreased 0.5% for the…

Big Tech better watch out! A new bipartisan Senate bill aimed at restricting tech companies’ “anticompetitive” acquisition abilities is getting attention from policymakers and experts alike. The new Senate bill introduced by Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Tom Cotton (R-AR) would greatly limit the ability of Big Tech companies to acquire other tech companies. While the bill is being touted…

New York Times senior economics correspondent Neil Irwin twisted himself into a pretzel to protect the failing Biden administration's economic agenda again — this time suggesting American furor over the poor state of the economy is more about perception than reality. 

A proposed law in the United Kingdom (U.K.) would reportedly regulate social media like a “hazard industry,” with new methods of censorship. Free speech advocates should be concerned.

The liberal media slobbered over how President Joe Biden could return the U.S. economy to glory. So far, their optimism has been a bad joke, and a new poll highlights just how badly they missed the mark. 

Apparently, nothing is safe from the wokeness of the left. An NBC op-ed tried lecturing Americans about how bad and deadly their love of cars is.

CNBC released a damning economic survey showing the majority of Americans disapproving of President Joe Biden’s economic performance, and its sister network chose not to cover it.

On Tuesday's The Lead with Jake Tapper on CNN, the show ran a report whining that West Virginia residents are hurt by climate change, but that, in spite of this, are opposed to enacting radical, draconian government environmental regulations. Of course, it all came back to complaining over the state's moderate Democratic Senator, Joe Manchin, also opposing such costly policies…
