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.
President Joe Biden and key officials in his administration are scrambling to deny the obvious truth that they pressured Big Tech to censor Americans.

President Joe Biden’s proposed energy efficiency standards for water heaters, released July 21 by the Energy Department, not only would raise the cost of water heaters for consumers but take certain products off the market.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy authorized the House of Representatives to move forward on an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden based on what Republicans have characterized as “Biden family influence-peddling.” “I’m directing our House committee to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden,” McCarthy, R-Calif., said Tuesday. “This is the logical next step…
The labor market is nowhere near as strong as it appears. If that sounds surprising, it’s because the absence of millions of Americans from the workforce artificially lowers the unemployment rate. Accounting for the missing workers reveals an unemployment rate of over 6%, not the official 3.8%. To make sense of the numbers, we need to…
The middle class is demonstrably worse off under President Joe Biden, but that hasn’t stopped him from spending 40% of his presidency on vacation. Many Americans would love such a lax job schedule, but they’re too busy working a second job to make ends meet. They can't afford one day of vacation, let alone 382 like Biden. On…
What shameless act or felonious activity was not evidenced on Hunter Biden’s laptop? Racist attitudes toward Asians? Soliciting prostitution? Felonious use of drugs?

Hunter all but accused his own father, President Joe Biden, of also being on the foreign take, writing: “I hope you all…
The House Oversight and Accountability Committee is trying to find out if the Justice Department failed to protect women who might have been sexually exploited by Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden.

Just because the government raises taxes, doesn’t necessarily mean it will raise more revenues. The Biden administration is discovering that the hard way. In August 2022, President Joe Biden signed the misnamed Inflation Reduction Act into law, which included a new tax on companies’ financial statement income, new IRS funding to increase audits, an excise…
When they engage with the national media, Republicans expect that the exchanges will be skeptical, if not openly hostile. The press works for the Other Party. Democrats expect the media to be the wind beneath their wings, and get upset when journalists don’t help them at every turn. This was underlined on NBC’s “Meet the…
Kareem P. Montague has been opinionated on Facebook since 2011, taking jabs at Republican political operative Karl Rove, posting messages about Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s first Senate campaign in Massachusetts, defending the pro football players who take a knee, and denouncing “white privilege.” Now an Army colonel, Montague—a veteran of conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan—has…
The House Oversight and Accountability Committee is seeking to know what steps the Secret Service took to tip off Hunter Biden in the criminal investigation into his overseas business activities.

In boasting about “Bidenomics” two weeks ago in Milwaukee, President Joe Biden declared that his policies are “restoring the American dream.” Then he went into his creepy whispering mode and assured us “it’s working.” Huh? Isn’t a big aspiration of the American dream owning a home? Biden keeps making first-time homeownership harder for young families…
One of the Harvard Journal on Legislation's former editors revealed Monday that he was "shocked by the plagiarism" that he discovered in a 2000 article submitted by then-Sen. Joe Biden.

The Family and Medical Leave Act was a “first step” when it became law 30 years ago and should be expanded, President Joe Biden said earlier this year.

The White House and the legacy media are ready to move on from the disastrous wildfires that ravaged Maui, but the story of what happened there shouldn’t go away.

The House committee investigating alleged influence peddling by the Biden family is seeking records on Air Force Two flights that then-Vice President Joe Biden took with son Hunter Biden. House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., and committee member Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., wrote Wednesday to the head of the National Archives seeking “unrestricted…
Republican border-state strategy to send illegal immigrants to Democrat-run cities and states is paying off. On Thursday, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul sent a letter to President Joe Biden begging for federal aid. Importantly, she finally acknowledged where the problem is coming from. “This is a financial burden the city and state are shouldering on…
There’s simply no rational or legal explanation for Attorney General Merrick Garland naming David Weiss a special counsel in the Hunter Biden investigation. Other than the most obvious one, of course. Garland contends that he’s “confident” the Delaware federal prosecutor “will carry out his responsibility in an evenhanded and urgent manner and in accordance with…
Despite years of Biden family and media disinformation, we are finally learning that President Joe Biden really did fire Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin for looking into state corruption involving the oil company Burisma and his son Hunter Biden—and ultimately Joe Biden himself.
