The issue: Maureen Callahan’s column criticizing White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki. Thanks to Maureen Callahan for her wonderful and accurate article on arrogant White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki (“Jane, you’re a ‘Psak’ at your job”, Feb. 24). Finally, Psaki’s abdication – which represents the current administration’s positions – is invoked and condemned. She may be adept at dodging reporters’ questions, but she (as Callahan aptly captured) is a terrible messenger of how our current government deals with so many Americans. Change is coming, and Callahan has helped reveal…

The problem: Mayor Adams’ plan to make the Underground trains safer by increasing social service and a police presence. There is no doubt that the issue of homelessness is an issue that needs to be resolved (“Subway Homeless Assistance Teams to a Slow Start,” February 23). Simply ignoring the problem, as Mayor Adams’ predecessor did, is not a solution. Locking up people doesn’t solve the problem either. These people were once productive members of society and, for whatever reason, descended into a life of drug addiction and mental illness. Adams’s…

The case: Mayor Adams makes the race case against the journalists who question him about the crime. While I applaud Mayor Adams for trying to change bail reform laws and for wanting to pull police officers out of office service, I think he was out of line in criticizing the media’s racial makeup and patting him on the back. (“Beat the Press for Adams,” Feb. 16). It’s still pretty early in his state – and quite frankly, what has he accomplished so far? Mayor Adams, if you’re reading this, get…

On the waterfrontGovernor Hochhol is credited for defying New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy’s ridiculous assertion that law enforcement officers patrolling our ports are no longer necessary (“The Gov vs. the Waterfront Mob,” editorial, Feb. 14). In addition to preventing crime, these officers determine whether potential employees have ties to the mob, and ensure that eligible minorities are interviewed in the process. New Jersey officials are clearly happy with the money they are receiving from the ILA and the shipping associations they control. But looking the other way at the mob’s…

The issue: Tensions between Russia and the United States over the growing Russian presence on the Ukrainian border. The notion that Ukraine is a threat to Russian national security is farcical (“Ukraine Talks Reservoir,” February 11). But the opposite is true: Russia attacks Ukraine and poses a threat to its neighbors. Russian President Vladimir Putin is using the specter of security concerns as a thin front for his real motives. It seeks, in a way, to rebuild the Soviet Union and restore Russia to its old glory – long lost…

mad baby careTotally agree with Rich Lowry (“Dem Day-Care Disaster,” PostOpinion, Nov. 10)The childcare proposal that Democrats wrote into the Better Rebuild/Human Infrastructure Bill is the most devastating part of the entire bill. It directly affects and seeks to control families.Let’s face it, the traditional family has been a target of the left since Joseph Stalin.When President Biden or the Secretary of Transportation tells us that women are prohibited from working, they are lying.First of all, they work: they are raising the next generation. If they hold jobs outside the…

The case: A local BLM leader’s claim that there would be “bloodshed” if the city brought back crime-fighting units. Finally, New York City will have a mayor with a backbone who won’t hold back on activists who threaten to riot and burn down our city (“Not In My City,” November 12). For a long time, New York and other major cities across this country have allowed these activists to dictate police policy. Where did we get that from? The streets of every big city are stained with the blood of…

Case: The trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, who shot three people during protests in Kenosha last year. The tragic events in Kenosha in which Kyle Rittenhouse was implicated last summer vividly exemplify the harsh reality of a divided America (“A clear case of self-defense,” Miranda Devine, November 11). Hooligans bent on destroying business property as “justice” for Jacob Blake’s shooting, while the idealistic teenager who was bent on helping protect those same businesses is now considered a white supremacist and murderous to defend himself amid the storm. This young man must…

The Issue: Democrats lost local elections in Virginia, New Jersey and elsewhere last Tuesday. Repeating the “bad orange guy” phrases and playing the race card doesn’t seem to be a good left-handed strategy (“He’s awake now!” November 4). People are beginning to notice the rising prices of fuel and essentials, the continuing crisis on our southern border and attempts to pass bills that will lead to long-term increases in taxes and inflation. The recent state elections show a red wave of parents who don’t want kids to be taught a…

City school needsThe recent influx of children into New York from our country’s southern border is just another wave of young immigrants storming our sanctuary education system (“New Kids in Class,” October 31). School systems in New York City and Long Island should not be constantly burdened by the federal government’s failure to manage our borders without additional compensation. School systems need more money, supplies and staff in order to adapt effectively.
