The Senate wants to play political football with tax reform. And that’s the rub. When politicians talk “reform,” that generally translates into trouble. But when politicians “cut” taxes, that generally translates into economic and wage growth. That’s just what this economy needs — both a corporate and an individual tax cut, where all taxpaying workers...

Dear John: A question: In the grand scheme of things, what is the point of having a password? Equifax gets hacked, Yahoo gets hacked. I don’t put my mother’s maiden name or my Social Security number on any of my password-protected accounts because those who do provide such information seem to get hacked. Passwords provide...

TAMPA, Fla. — Jets coach Todd Bowles is not one to throw around compliments, so when he does it is eye-opening. This week, Bowles praised tight end Eric Tomlinson, who has been a key part of the Jets’ offense this year, primarily as a blocker. Last week, he shifted to fullback on some plays and...
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Watching Eli Manning is one thing. Studying him for signs of frustration is another. Preparing to go against him is something else entirely. “He’s still a Hall of Fame quarterback,’’ 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh said. “I don’t understand the New York media, no disrespect. He’s good man. He can make...

Top comedians Jon Stewart, Conan O’Brian and Trevor Noah performed last week at the 11th annual Stand Up for Heroes event — and although the show raises money to help wounded veterans, the butt of all jokes was the commander-in-chief, President Trump.

Built in 2009,...
