New York City is “at a breaking point” after more than 90,000 illegal aliens have arrived in the city since last spring, according to city leadership. A group of 54 NYC Democratic elected officials, including state senators and assembly members, sent a letter to President Joe Biden Wednesday asking him for “help.” “Our City…
A supermajority of respondents in a new poll say President Joe Biden should acknowledge the existence of his seventh grandchild and nearly as large a majority opposes the idea of the federal government using tax dollars for slavery reparations. In a poll released Wednesday and conducted from July 18 to July 22 by WPA Intelligence…
There were clearly some bizarre twists and turns in federal court Wednesday in Delaware, as Hunter Biden’s anticipated sweetheart plea deal collapsed. So, what happened? That is hard to say for sure, as a transcript of the colloquy between the lawyers and the judge has not been released. Basically, it seems that there was a…
The federal judge’s concerns about the Hunter Biden plea deal closely aligned with that of an amicus brief filed a day earlier by the Oversight Project, the watchdog arm of The Heritage Foundation. “Mission accomplished,” Mike Howell, director of the Oversight Project and an investigative columnist for The Daily Signal, said Wednesday in Wilmington, Delaware,…
Hunter Biden’s plea agreement with federal prosecutors on tax and gun charges—panned by critics as “a sweetheart deal”—fell apart in federal court in Wilmington, Delaware, on Wednesday after a federal judge scrutinized the agreement. Although the president’s son on June 20 reached a deal to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and to lying…
Less than a week after the release of an FBI form alleging President Joe Biden took a $5 million bribe while serving as vice president, the White House won’t comment on a pending House impeachment inquiry. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre also declined to comment on pending testimony to Congress by former Hunter Biden…
In a July 25 press conference, President Joe Biden appears to have made quite the claim: that his administration “ended cancer as we know it.” During a series of prepared remarks on “Expanding Access to Mental Health Care,” Biden lauded his administration’s work in “doing big things.” At one point, he asked and answered a question…
The Biden first family seems determined to confirm every stereotype of their antisocial behavior—to the point of dysfunctionality. During the 2020 campaign, at least eight women alleged that then-presidential candidate Joe Biden in the past had serially and improperly touched, kissed, or grabbed them. One, Tara Reade, alleged she was sexually assaulted by Biden, who…
Two veteran IRS agents with impeccable records have now testified under oath that federal officials not only slow-walked the Hunter Biden probe, but nixed efforts to investigate President Joe Biden’s role in the family business. And though legacy media are conveniently apathetic about the developments, they seem somewhat newsworthy to me. On Wednesday, we learned…
When an FBI confidential informant met with Burisma executives in Austria in 2016, he strongly advised them against plans to buy a U.S. oil company – chiefly because the controversial Ukrainian energy firm with Hunter Biden on its board was under investigation in Ukraine. He further suggested that Burisma first spend about $50,000 litigating the…
President Joe Biden has a lot in common with one of his fellow Democratic White House predecessors, according to columnist and author Kimberley Strassel. In her new book “The Biden Malaise: How America Bounces Back From Joe Biden’s Dismal Repeat of the Jimmy Carter Years,” Strassel details the parallels between Jimmy Carter’s 1977-1981 presidency and…
A key House committee heard testimony Wednesday from two IRS whistleblowers who detailed what they said was Justice Department officials’ efforts to slow or impede an investigation of presidential son Hunter Biden for unpaid taxes. Committee Republicans sought to extract as many details as they could from the two veteran IRS employees, while Democrats seemed…
A previously unidentified IRS whistleblower publicly told Congress on Wednesday that federal prosecutors investigating presidential son Hunter Biden were “hamstrung” by political pressure and called for appointment of a special counsel in the case. Former IRS special agent Joseph Ziegler—a Democrat who identifies himself as a gay married man—previously gave anonymous testimony to the House…
Hate is on the rise! Not only are hate groups such as the Ku Klux Klan in every state in America, but antigovernment groups lurk in plain sight, spreading baseless conspiracy theories and plotting to stage another Jan. 6. These radicals may claim they are advocating “parental rights,” “religious freedom,” or “border security,” but they’re…
When President Joe Biden issued a proclamation on the last day of February in honor of Women’s History Month, which was then about to commence on March 1, he made abortion one of its central themes. In doing so, he employed a misleading euphemism that has become a common cliche used by pro-abortion politicians: “their…
FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—U.S. tax dollars are going to the employers of former intelligence officials who signed a misleading open letter in 2020 claiming that emails, photos, and other content on Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop likely amounted to a “Russian information operation.” The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project determined that research organizations, think tanks that…
President Joe Biden’s aides reportedly claim that when the commander in chief yells at one of his subordinates, that might be a sign of respect. According to an Axios report revealing “Biden’s private fury,” aides describe experiencing the president’s rage as an “internal initiation ceremony.” Axios reported that Biden is prone to yelling and verbal…
The Senate will vote Wednesday on Kalpana Kotagal, whom President Joe Biden appointed to serve on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in a move critics claim will force transgender ideology on employers across America. "I'm incredibly concerned about Kalpana Kotagal's record of support for radical transgender ideology," Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, told The Daily Signal…
The Biden administration is stonewalling efforts to get to the bottom of the origins of the pandemic that has been blamed for the loss of over 1.1 million American lives. Pursuant to the unanimously enacted COVID-19 Origin Act of 2023, the administration is required to provide Congress with detailed, declassified information on specific research activities…
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, is giving the U.S Attorney’s Office in Delaware until July 21 to answer questions about why information about a “criminal bribery scheme” involving President Joe Biden wasn’t pursued in the federal investigation of his son, Hunter Biden. Grassley’s letter brings up Assistant U.S. Attorney for Delaware Lesley Wolf’s actions, based on…
