Recently, after weeks of mounting allegations, a top aide to Governor Andrew Cuomo was recorded admitting that his administration had covered up the real death toll in New York State nursing homes, withholding data because they feared federal investigations after mandating that nursing homes accept Covid positive patients.
I work in a nursing home in New York State so for me, a story has never felt so personal.
I am a certified nursing assistant and activities aide, fortunate to work in one of, if not the top rated nursing homes in the entire area, and I genuinely cannot imagine working…

As I and many others have noted in the past, before he was even sworn into office Joe Biden was expressing his desire to have a longstanding legacy as President, akin to someone like Roosevelt who shaped the nation for decades to come. While we’ve long been arguing that such a legacy would require bold, necessary action that was sufficient to meet this critical moment in American history, there have been a number of reasons to be skeptical about Biden’s willingness to go in that direction. After all, Biden’s administration made the infuriating decision that they were going to abandon…
The transportation Secretary pitched his idea to the American people, and it’s not good.

Of all the candidates Biden could have picked as his Transportation Secretary, for the life of me I will never understand why he chose former South Bend Mayor and Presidential Candidate Pete Buttigieg. Of course, positions like this do oftentimes go to someone who the party machine will want to elevate. Desperate to fend off the left wing of the party for as long as possible, it makes perfect sense that Joe Biden would want to chose someone who the Democratic elite envision as the future…

Joe Biden just held his first news conference as President, where he discussed topics ranging from his administration’s handling of migrants coming across the border, to the filibuster. Personally, one little tidbit of information that stood out to me was the fact that Biden clearly expressed his intentions to run for reelection in 2024.
I probably shouldn’t have, but I found this surprising.
Throughout the entirety of his campaign for the Presidency, Joe Biden made it explicitly clear that he intended to be a transition President, who would take the reigns from Donald Trump and help the nation through a…

Of all the conservative media pundits in the United States, few seem to have a lack of self awareness more prevalent than The View’s Meghan McCain. As the daughter of the late Senator John McCain, (who feels the need to bring up her father whenever the opportunity represents itself) it’s readily apparent to virtually anyone who has listened to her speak that McCain is proud of her father and the family’s success. …

Socialite, beauty mogul, and business woman Kylie Jenner has been facing some tough scrutiny on social media these days, and for good reason. After her makeup artist Samuel Rauda was reportedly in a serious accident, Kylie shared the $60,000 Gofundme his family had set up to pay for his brain surgery, posting an image of them together on her Instagram story and inviting her followers to click the link and donate. Kylie herself donated $5000.
Ms. Jenner herself is worth an estimated $900,000,000.
Incredibly and yet unsurprisingly, she cannot see the issue.

After the passage of the Covid 19 relief bill, Democrats have their eyes on some more legislation before they settle in to focusing on re-election bids and fundraising. Among some of the legislation Democrats have identified as being at the top of their priority list is the sweeping voting rights bill that has passed the House of Representatives not too long ago. The New York Times has reported the bill would “impose new national requirements weakening restrictive state voter ID laws, mandate automatic voter registration, expand early and mail-in voting, make it harder to purge voter rolls and restore voting…

Recently, President Joe Biden gave what would many would assume to be a fairly standard address to the nation, particularly when many are seeking assurance, status updates, and at least some idea of what the future has in store for the country during the most significant public health and economic crisis in modern history. Following the address to the nation, I stumbled across the response from none other than FOX News Host Sean Hannity. …

Over Biden’s decades long career in national politics, it’s no secret has not been friendly to the idea of recreational drug use. Recently, we were reminded of the archaic stance that the author of the infamous 1994 crime bill and war on drugs architect evidently still has, after CNN reported that five White House staffers were asked to resign and others to work remotely because past marijuana use turned up in their background checks.
Considering the fact that one of the chief problems with his 1994 crime bill was that it imposed mandatory minimum sentences for marijuana possession, can we…

Up until recently, I have been convinced that if something didn’t change soon, the Republican party stood an excellent chance of taking back not only the Senate, but the House of Representatives as well. After all, the Democratic party turned their backs on the $15 minimum wage and $2000 checks they vowed would be imminent, which happened to be two leading promises they had campaigned on in their efforts to gain unilateral control. Of course, under normal circumstances that alone would be reason to suggest that the American people might not be as inclined to deliver the victories for them…
