The Daily Signal reports on Joe Biden’s current political role, public statements, and party influence, with updates on investigations, policy advocacy, and his standing among Democrats.
The FBI’s description of a confidential source who alleged President Joe Biden was involved in a bribery scheme when he was vice president changed dramatically over a matter of months, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said Tuesday at a Heritage Foundation symposium on the weaponization of government. The informant, revealed to be Alexander Smirnov when federal…
The Biden administration is proposing a new rule that would further entrench unelected federal bureaucrats from accountability to President Joe Biden or his elected successors. Key to the new rule from the Office of Personnel Management is the effective “grandfathering” of federal employees into their current category of employment, making it harder for a future…
President Joe Biden announced a new student loan forgiveness plan early Monday morning. But who qualifies for forgiveness? Will the president succeed with his efforts, or will the courts block this plan as they did with the last one? Madison Marino, a senior research associate, in The Heritage Foundation’s Center for Education Policy, joins “The…
They call themselves the “PBS NewsHour,” but if you watch them routinely, you might call them the “PBS Opposition Research Hour.” They often sound like a Democrat consulting firm as they analyze former President Donald Trump as a dangerously extreme figure. Then they can turn around and proclaim that President Joe Biden is very bipartisan…
The attorney representing Hunter Biden in his ongoing legal battles met with first lady Jill Biden’s top aide in the East Wing of the White House days before the first son defied a congressional subpoena. Abbe Lowell, Hunter Biden’s attorney, met Dec. 11 with Anthony Bernal, the first lady’s top staffer, visitor logs at the…
Cardinal Wilton Gregory, the Catholic archbishop of Washington, D.C., said in an interview over the weekend that President Joe Biden is a “cafeteria Catholic” who “picks and chooses” which parts of Catholicism he will adhere to. Gregory appeared on CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday with the female Episcopal bishop of Washington, Mariann Budde, where…
Joe Biden, the “devout” Catholic who resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, issued a proclamation on Good Friday, the day Christians remember Jesus’ death on the cross before his Resurrection three days later on Easter Sunday. Biden chose Good Friday to publicly announce that he would designate the following Sunday as an important day in American…
After delivering his State of the Union speech in the House chamber by invitation earlier this month, President Joe Biden received a less savory invitation Thursday—to testify in the House’s impeachment investigation of suspected influence peddling by the president and his family. House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., announced the invitation to Biden…
Tucker Carlson Network founder Tucker Carlson has accused President Joe Biden’s administration of targeting a pro-life father for praying and singing outside of an abortion clinic, warning that the administration “fears” that type of activity. Carlson interviewed Paul Vaughn, the Tennessee father of 11 children who was arrested by the FBI in October 2022 and…
According to news reports, the Biden administration is considering housing Haitian migrants at the U.S. Navy base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The base—which is best known for housing al-Qaeda terrorists, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of 9/11—has been used as a migrant detention facility several times in the past. As a policy matter, there…
An Interior Department mining agency sought to purge its website and field offices of traditional language that could offend LGBTQ individuals, to comply with an executive order from President Joe Biden. Employees of Interior’s Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement are directed to go through all agency messaging and remove language that presumes traditional…
As Haitian gangs push a skeletal government to the breaking point, potentially sparking the flight of millions of Haitians to the United States, the Biden administration is scrambling to respond. After consistently failing to address the yearslong crisis that was clearly in motion, Democrats’ slapdash effort to “do something” in Haiti is now gaining steam in…
Two former Biden family business associates testified Wednesday before a House committee conducting an impeachment inquiry into influence peddling by the president and close relatives. Tony Bobulinski, who was a business partner to Hunter Biden, accused his one-time ally of lying under oath to congressional investigators about his father’s involvement. “Joe Biden was more than…
As an historian, I found it fascinating to watch the Left try to impose new language to describe people in the country illegally. The Left has gradually pushed accepted language away from “illegal aliens” (the term in law), to “illegal immigrants” (the most common term), to “undocumented immigrants” (the Left’s current favorite term), and now…
The Department of Justice warned a Jan. 6 defendant Tuesday that his sentence would not be reduced, regardless of the Supreme Court’s decision in a coming case related to a statute he was charged under. Jan. 6 defendant Anthony Williams asked the court in February to grant him bond pending his appeal in light of the Supreme…
As a cannibalistic gang war rages through Haiti, President Joe Biden last week dispatched a Marine Corps special unit to protect the evacuation of nonemergency personnel as well as fellow Marines from the U.S. Embassy in the nation’s capital, Port-au-Prince. With that evacuation of the embassy in Haiti, the Biden administration has presided over more…
One of the big takeaways from the newly released transcript of President Joe Biden’s two-day interview with Robert Hur is that the special counsel was being exceedingly generous when describing the president as a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” Much of the conversation with Hur is littered with barely incoherent answers and…
The horrific murder of Laken Riley by repeated felony offender and illegal alien Jose Ibarra, 26, a Venezuelan citizen, was preventable—had federal immigration laws simply been enforced by the Biden administration. When called out in his recent State of the Union address, President Joe Biden referenced the deceased Riley. But Biden misidentified her as “Lincoln…
Since 2022, President Joe Biden has used the Antiquities Act to create five national monuments, collectively spanning more than 1.5 million acres of federal land. While these proclamations are ostensibly aimed at preserving areas of historic or archaeological importance, they often come at the expense of established laws and local economies. The American Forest Resource Council has…
The future of the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden ultimately may be no more than a fact-finding investigation because some House Republicans don’t anticipate charges to result from the probe of Biden family influence peddling. The GOP’s thin House majority and the timing of a presidential election year when voters can decide whether Biden remains…
