Lehel Kovács for BIOnce upon a time, corporate bosses, associates, and interns alike would set aside their different titles and gather each December for drinks, dancing, and conversation. There would be gourmet dinners, chocolate fountains, DJs, and even live bands. For some, it was a night of merriment and splendor; for others, of awkward small talk, followed by deep regret.Then the holiday party became endangered. In the wake of #MeToo in 2017, more professionals began rethinking the wisdom of a boozed-up night with their colleagues. The pandemic and remote work delivered a near death blow. In a 2020 survey of…

The stark realities of illegal immigration have become impossible to ignore in America’s largest cities, where progressive leadership has long championed sanctuary policies, but the time of reckoning is here. New York City Mayor Eric Adams recently made waves with his candid remarks about the burden illegal immigrant criminals have placed on his city.  His stated willingness to work with incoming border czar Tom Homan signals a growing acknowledgment among Democrats that their current approach is politically toxic after the 2024 election showed record numbers of Hispanic and Asian Americans in urban centers voting Republican and rejecting open borders. Meanwhile,…

President Joe Biden lied from start to finish about his family’s influence-peddling racket. He recently issued a sweeping pardon to his son, Hunter Biden, contradicting his repeated assurances that he would not interfere. This pardon may be one of the most comprehensive in U.S. history, encompassing over a decade of corruption. While some have drawn parallels between this pardon and President Gerald Ford’s pardon of former President Richard Nixon, the comparison falls short. Ford aimed to heal a divided nation; Biden is shielding himself and his family from accountability. Unlike the corporate media and Democrats, who sought to shield Biden until…

The Chinese Communist Party has destroyed millions of American jobs and stolen trillions of dollars in American intellectual property. By its own actions, Beijing has forfeited its preferential trade status with the United States. That is why we, along with Secretary of State-designate Marco Rubio and Missouri Republican Senator Josh Hawley, have authored a comprehensive repeal of China’s Permanent Normal Trade Relations. Our legislation would strategically decouple the U.S. and Chinese economies and end China’s economic war on American workers and businesses. In 2000, our nation’s leaders granted Permanent Normal Trade Relations to China and provided the Chinese Communist Party with open…

A new report by Open the Books, a nonpartisan government watchdog, has revealed that since 2021, the Biden administration has spent hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on research related to “misinformation,” a significant rise compared to the first Trump administration. The increase in spending raises serious concerns about civil liberties and free speech online, especially on social media platforms, where much of the Biden administrations’ efforts were directed. Since 2021, the Biden-Harris White House has spent at least $267 million on research grants and contracts related to “misinformation” or “disinformation.” FACEBOOK STILL SILENT AFTER SUDDENLY BANNING THEN REINSTATING THIS POPULAR GUN MANUFACTURERDuring…

The author started docking her kids’ allowance and saw improvements in their behavior.Courtesy of Bethaney PhillipsMy kids never really listened when we would ground them or put them in time-out. However, we realized that docking their allowance made them improve their behavior. They also have a chance to earn back any lost money if they want. As a mom to two boys who are only , and their behavior (or lack thereof) is a direct reflection of me.Grounding them worked, sometimes. The problem with it is that the punishment isn’t immediate. And honestly, sometimes it’s more of a grounding for…
