Is Your Kid An Addict?

Do smartphones and social media wreck kids’ lives?

“Anxiety, depression, self-harm levels were pretty stable from the late 90s through 2010,” says psychologist Jonathan Haidt, author of The Anxious Generation. “All of a sudden, the rates go up. Way up.”

But are phones the cause? I examine both sides in my newest video. Here’s more from John Stossel.

Mamdani’s Bad Ideas: Part 2

Socialists on the rise!

One will probably be Minneapolis’s next mayor.

And another my new mayor in NYC.

It’s absurd!

I’ve already covered some of Mamdani’s bad ideas. But he has so many … I had to make a Part 2. Here’s more from John Stossel.

Mamdani’s Bad Ideas: Part 1

A socialist will likely be my next mayor!

I don’t often report on local politics, but I make exception for Zohran Mamdani because people BELIEVE in him. He got a record number of votes in the primary!

Yet what he believes is just so STUPID.

Here’s why, in Part 1 of our series: Mamdani’s Bad Ideas. Here’s more from John Stossel.

Right’s Flirtation With Marx

James Lindsay is hated by people on both left and right.

He exposed the woke left’s insanity, defends capitalism, and pushes back on global governance.

Now he’s exposing people on the right who bash individual liberty.

We discuss it all in our full interview. Here’s more from John Stossel.

It’s Ea$y Being Green

Environmental groups are now the BIG GUYS, rolling in money.

It’s bad enough that they peddle scares to get paid. Worse is the damage they do.

John Stossel explains how they block progress, in a video bearing the full title “The Green Industrial Complex: Power, Panic and Profits.”

Saga Of The Little Pink House

20 years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that local politicians can TAKE your home to build development they think will bring in more tax $$.

New London, Connecticut, did just that. They claimed it would create jobs and raise tax revenue.

As so often happens, the politicians were WRONG: Here’s more from John Stossel.

The Extreme Right Goes Woke

How some “conservatives” now trash freedom and praise Karl Marx.  This “new” section of the right is bashing individual liberty, even embracing Marxist ideas.

James Lindsay calls them the woke right.

He sent a conservative magazine a revised version of The Communist Manifesto, and they published it!

Here’s why they’re a problem. Here’s more from John Stossel.

Inside North Korea

Bizarrely, socialism is still popular among young people. They should listen to those who lived it!

“You don’t really know you have it good until you have it bad,” says Charles Ryu.

He escaped North Korea, twice.

He tells me his story and the importance of freedom: It’s a story of socialism, slavery, starvation, torture and escape. Here’s more from John Stossel.

School Choice Finally Arrives

Most kids get assigned to a school based on where they live. Live in a neighborhood with lousy schools? Too bad.

But now more states have school choice vouchers that let parents enroll kids in a better school. Great! But unions and bureaucrats resist. Here’s more from John Stossel.

The Trouble With Tariffs

President Donald Trump said he’d run the country like a business. But a company would try to lower costs. Tariffs INCREASE costs.

There’s an easy fix: “Admit you made a bad decision, and let’s move on,” says American business owner Victor Schwarz, “That’s what we do in business all the time.” Here’s more on The Art of the Bad Deal from John Stossel.
