In a decisive move to restore traditional military standards, President Donald Trump has signed an executive order barring transgender individuals from enlisting in the United States Armed Forces. This policy reversal, which took effect immediately, aims to undo the controversial inclusivity measures introduced under Joe Biden’s administration, which prioritized political correctness over military readiness and made a mockery of its ability to defend the nation’s interests abroad.

The Biden-era policy led to what many saw as a degradation of military effectiveness, placing gender ideology above operational efficiency. Under his administration, individuals like Admiral Rachel Levine were elevated to high-ranking positions, despite widespread criticism regarding their qualifications and the implications of such appointments on military cohesion.

With this executive order, President Trump is reaffirming his commitment to rebuilding the military into a force focused solely on strength, discipline, and national security. This decision has been met with widespread approval among service members and military veterans who have long voiced concerns over the impact of social experiments within the ranks.

Since President Trump’s inauguration on January 20, 2025, the U.S. Armed Forces have seen a remarkable surge in enlistments. Many young Americans, who were previously hesitant to join under the previous administration’s policies, are now eager to serve in a military that prioritizes strength and discipline over ideological experiments. This increase in recruitment is a testament to the renewed confidence in the Armed Forces under Trump’s leadership, as more individuals feel encouraged to enlist…

In a deeply troubling incident that has sent shockwaves through Australia’s healthcare system, two nurses from Bankstown Hospital in Sydney have been permanently banned from practicing after a shocking footage, filmed on OmeTV with Max Veifer, has gone viral, exposing their sickening hatred for the world to see. The individuals involved, Ahmad ‘Rashad’ Nadir, who on the video lied being a doctor, and Sarah Abu Lebdeh, were seen in hospital uniforms, making egregious anti-Semitic remarks, admitting to having killed Israeli patients and threatening to do the same if other Israeli patients fall under their “care”.

The video, which quickly went viral, has been met with widespread condemnation from both the public and officials. NSW Health Minister Ryan Park expressed his outrage, stating unequivocally that such behavior is intolerable and assured the public that these individuals would never work for NSW Health again.

Following the video’s emergence, both Nadir and Abu Lebdeh were suspended from their positions at Bankstown Hospital. NSW Police’s Strike Force Pearl has launched an investigation to scrutinize their interactions with Jewish patients and to review hospital CCTV…

Since day one of our administration, building housing and bringing down the cost of living has been two of our top priorities. We know that in order to make New York City the best place on the globe to raise a family, we need affordable housing across the five boroughs. We need to build the housing working people, families, immigrants, and young people need.

For the past three years we have gone to work to deliver housing for New Yorkers every day, everywhere. And last week, we announced back-to-back record-breaking calendar years producing critically needed affordable housing across the city. We have again built the most homeless units and most supportive units. We also housed our older adults by building a record number of senior units.

We have also connected a record number of New Yorkers to that housing, with HPD connecting more New Yorkers to homes than ever before in 2024. And thanks to our team at NYCHA, we have delivered more than $1.7 billion in critically needed capital repairs to our public housing sites. The New York City Department of Social Services also connected a record number of New Yorkers in shelter to subsidized permanent housing. Additionally, more than 14,600 households moved out of shelter using a variety of rental subsidies, reflecting a 24 percent increase year-over-year.

But these records are more than just numbers — they are older adults getting connected to accessible and affordable housing, formerly homeless New Yorkers being handed a key to a stable and safe apartment with a support network, and families feeling like they can afford to live in the greatest city on the globe.

A home is more than just four walls and a roof, it is the key to unlocking the American Dream. It is a path towards stability and an opportunity.  In order to meet our affordable housing crisis, head on, we must continue to be bold and ambitious.

That is why in my State of the City address last month,…

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies have been a focal point in U.S. corporate and governmental sectors, especially during the Biden administration. These initiatives aim to foster inclusive environments by addressing systemic inequalities. However, recent trends indicate a significant shift, with major corporations reevaluating or even abandoning their DEI commitments. This article delves into the inherent flaws of DEI policies and examines the factors leading business giants to reconsider their stance.

The Rise of DEI Initiatives

The Biden administration placed a strong emphasis on DEI, encouraging organizations to adopt policies that promote representation and fairness. This movement was rooted in the belief that diverse workplaces lead to enhanced creativity, better decision-making, and improved financial performance. Companies across various sectors implemented diversity training programs, set representation targets, and established DEI departments to oversee these efforts.

Critiques and Inherent Flaws in DEI Policies

Despite noble intentions, DEI policies have faced criticism on several fronts:

  • Perception of Tokenism: The implementation of DEI policies can inadvertently lead to tokenism, where individuals from underrepresented groups are perceived as “diversity hires.” This label can undermine their credibility and contributions, fostering resentment among employees and detracting from the intended inclusivity. The term “diversity hire” has been criticized for implying that merit was secondary to identity in hiring decisions.
  • Perception of Tokenism: The implementation of DEI policies can inadvertently lead to tokenism, where individuals from underrepresented groups are perceived as “diversity hires.” This label can undermine their credibility and contributions, fostering resentment among employees and detracting from the intended inclusivity.

    With the Super Bowl set to dominate screens this Sunday, water supply operators with the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) are gearing up for their own version of game day—one where the water supply system is the real MVP. It’s a synchronized flushing phenomenon worthy of its own play-by-play analysis.

    Every year, DEP sees a dramatic surge in water usage at three key moments during the biggest TV and sporting event of the year. This drastic uptick coincides with:

    • the start of the halftime show;
    • the end of the halftime show;
    • and the end of the game. 

    For example, last year, DEP saw a jump in water usage after the second quarter ended and musicians Usher and Alicia Keys began warming up for the halftime show. But, when the game entered overtime, there was a significant drop in water demand as Kansas City and San Francisco battled it out in a close nailbiter. Then, once the final whistle blew, the water flow surged again with a post-game spike equivalent to 467,881 additional toilet flushes.

    Now, that’s a super flush! 

    For reference, on a normal Sunday, the demand for water follows the typical daily patterns of the City — as night falls and more…
