President Joe Biden said Saturday that he shouldn’t have referred to Laken Riley’s suspected murderer as an “illegal” in his State of the Union speech less than 48 hours earlier. Now, Republicans are criticizing the president for “cowering” to the Left while backtracking on his words. “The president is cowering to his base and…
FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—Conservative U.S. senators condemned President Joe Biden’s Justice Department for receiving a briefing on “hate” from the Southern Poverty Law Center, a far-left group notorious for comparing conservative organizations with the Ku Klux Klan. “It is sadly predictable that the Biden administration is echoing the anti-conservative activists at the Southern Poverty…
President Joe Biden discussed some of the biggest issues on the minds of Americans, from border security to abortion and the economy, in his State of the Union address Thursday night. But what issues did Biden ignore that he should have talked about? Were there any unifying moments? And how did members of Congress in…
In the official Republican response to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address Thursday night, Sen. Katie Britt highlighted several of the Biden administration’s failings—most notably, its handling of the southern border, which she called “a disgrace.” The Alabama senator declared, “Biden didn’t just create this border crisis, he invited it with 94 executive…
The Justice Department arm focused on prosecuting “hate crimes” welcomed input from a far-left organization known for demonizing conservatives and Christians right after that organization put parental rights groups, including Moms for Liberty, on a “hate map” alongside the Ku Klux Klan, documents obtained by The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project reveal. (The Daily Signal is…
There seems to be at least one impenetrable barrier connected to this country’s southwest border. It’s the one that stands between Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and an accurate assessment of what’s actually happening there. In September 2020, the last month of that fiscal year, the U.S. Border Patrol encountered 54,771 aliens trying to illegally…
FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—Rep. Bob Good is bringing an abortion survivor and pro-life activist to the president’s State of the Union address as his guest on Thursday night. The Virginia Republican’s choice of guest is a response to President Joe Biden’s guest, Kate Cox, the woman at the center of pro-abortion uproar in recent…
The White House has remained quiet since Raul Ortiz’s comment that he didn’t talk with either President Joe Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris while serving as chief of the U.S. Border Patrol. “I’ve never had one conversation with the president, or the vice president for that matter,” Ortiz said during an interview on…
Violent crime is going down in Venezuela just as the United States has been hit with a rash of high-profile violent crimes by illegal immigrants. It’s not hard to figure out why. The killing of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student in Athens, Georgia, has become the latest and most prominent case of an American…
James Biden told congressional investigators that his older brother, President Joe Biden, made loans to him of $200,000 and $40,000 without charging interest, but that he has no documentation of the transactions. “There weren’t any,” the president’s younger brother testified, according to a just-released transcript of his Feb. 21 deposition. Jim Biden, who at one…
President Joe Biden is scheduled to meet Thursday with U.S. Border Patrol officials and local leaders in Brownsville, Texas, as part of his second trip to the southern border amid what the top House Republican calls the “catastrophe” that has occurred there on Biden’s watch. Biden’s trip comes as House Republicans push the president…
Politico is a member in good standing of the “establishment media.” Its journalists rotate in and out, to and from other pro-Biden outlets. But when Politico has a reporter who delves into the Biden family influence-peddling business, you can expect that work to be ignored routinely. Ben Schreckinger authored a book in the fall of…
FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—Former Vice President Mike Pence’s organization, Advancing American Freedom, is leading conservative groups in calling on Republicans in Congress to defund a pro-abortion rule backed by President Joe Biden’s administration that would punish pro-life centers. “We, as leaders of the pro-life movement, request that you defund the rulemaking process for the…
An injury on a high school girls basketball team is another reminder of why Title IX exists and why the definition of “sex” is not up for interpretation. A high school girls basketball team decided to forfeit a game earlier this month after a male athlete playing for the other team injured one of the…
Members of Congress continue to suggest that President Joe Biden should be removed under the 25th Amendment to the Constitution—even after a psychiatrist who led a national movement to oust his predecessor called cognitive decline “normal.” Special counsel Robert Hur issued a report earlier this month finding that Biden “willfully retained and disclosed classified materials,”…
Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, hinted Wednesday that the Department of Justice is operating under a double standard after it moved to indict an FBI informant who allegedly provided false evidence of corruption involving President Joe Biden, while letting the author of the debunked Steele dossier off the hook. Special counsel David Weiss indicted Alexander Smirnov—who told the FBI in…
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is working with a left-wing advocacy group to boost voter turnout as part of President Joe Biden’s executive order directing federal agencies to get involved in elections. The USDA worked directly with Demos, a New York-based group that helped draft Biden’s Executive Order 14019, according to records obtained by The…
Democrats constantly crow about their faith in “the right to choose.” But that applies to little beyond abortion. Any woman who chooses to buy a gun or send her child to a charter school should expect “pro-choice” Democrats to stand in her way. Democrats crave control and uniformity, even when it comes to medical care…
President Joe Biden called Friday for the House to shut down its impeachment inquiry into alleged influence peddling after the indictment of an FBI informant who said Biden might have accepted $5 million in bribes while vice president. Special counsel David Weiss, appointed to investigate the financial activities of the president’s son, Hunter Biden, secured…
Then-candidate Joe Biden promised to “restore the soul of America” in 2020, in part by focusing on the country’s standing in the world, fighting for “democracy,” and preserving America’s promise of prosperity. Yet President Biden arguably worsened America’s divisions and harmed each of the areas he promised to restore. Biden’s 2020 Promise What, exactly, did…
