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 U.S. Department of Education issued new guidance recently, titled “Guidance on Constitutionally Protected Prayer and Religious Expression in Public Elementary and Secondary Schools.” But as it did with the Supreme Court’s decision in Bostock v. Clayton County in 2020, the Biden administration based its guidance on a reading of Supreme Court precedent that misinterprets…
FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—One of President Joe Biden’s nominees for top Air Force posts calls for diversity, equity, and inclusion to be part of the military’s “DNA,” while another has tweeted about “whiteness.” Lt. Gen. Kevin Schneider and Brig. Gen. Elizabeth Arledge are two of Biden’s Air Force nominees who have pushed woke policies…
President Joe Biden signed the debt ceiling bill into law on Saturday a week after reaching a deal with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. “No one got everything they wanted, but the American people got what they needed. We averted an economic crisis, an economic collapse. We’re cutting spending and bringing the deficits down at…
The school year is over, but a new race-based missive from Washington will loom over teachers and students all summer. Just before Memorial Day, federal education officials issued a “Dear Colleague” letter telling the nation’s educators that the Biden administration is resurrecting a policy of investigating and coercing schools to adopt more lenient discipline policies….
The House-passed bill suspending the nation’s debt ceiling would give President Joe Biden “an unlimited credit card,” Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., warned Thursday. “The biggest detail for me is the fact that Joe Biden, who we cannot trust on spending, has an unlimited credit card until the end of his term,” Scott said while discussing…
Warning: This report includes content that some readers may find graphic and offensive. President Joe Biden has yet to weigh in on the outrage over the Los Angeles Dodgers inviting an anti-Catholic group of queer and transgender “nuns” to its Pride Night events. The drag performers call themselves “The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” and describe…
President Joe Biden became president largely by promising to Make America Normal Again. The shambolic U.S.-Mexico “border” confirms how Biden shattered that promise. There is nothing normal about the coast-to-coast disaster over which he governs, thanks largely to his deeply abnormal definition of border security. Under Biden, the southern “border” has become a giant, open-air…
The most recent liberal ABC News/Washington Post poll showed President Joe Biden’s approval rating at 36%—the lowest in history for a president at this point in his first term. Biden’s low popularity is no mystery. He inherited energy independence, affordable gas prices, historically low interest rates, low inflation, calm overseas, a low crime rate, and…
Artificially inflated by unsustainable government policies, the labor market has been incredibly strong for workers since the COVID-19 pandemic. But the tide could soon turn as bad labor policies and an unfit nominee to head the Department of Labor coincide with the Federal Reserve’s drastic actions to curb inflation caused by out-of-control federal spending. Before…
President Joe Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., “have finally backed off their idea that they won’t negotiate” on the debt ceiling, according to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. “They finally backed off the insane, un-rational, un-sensible idea that you just raise the debt ceiling,” McCarthy said at a joint press conference on Wednesday with…
House Republicans will expose any cover-up by the Internal Revenue Service after a whistleblower’s lawyers announced that their client is being retaliated against because of the investigation into presidential son Hunter Biden’s finances, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said. “The repeated weaponization of the federal government to attack one political party and protect the other is…
After reading my list of former President Donald Trump’s triumphs, from A to Z, nationally syndicated radio host Bill Martinez suggested during one of our weekly interviews that I give President Joe Biden’s blunders the same alphabetical treatment. Here goes. Afghanistan’s humiliating abandonment to the Taliban, amid America’s chaotic and deadly military withdrawal, may be Biden’s biggest…
The U.S. government has long been a spendthrift. It spends more than it takes in—now more than ever. The national debt has ballooned to a mind-boggling $31.46 trillion. To put that into perspective, the federal government has burdened each citizen with about $94,000 of this debt, but because many (most) citizens do not directly pay…
An estimated 13,000 illegal aliens are expected to cross the U.S.-Mexico border every day beginning Thursday. That’s more than double the daily average in March. This expected spike in the number of migrants crossing the border illegally is the direct result of the end of Title 42, a public health measure set in place under…
President Joe Biden’s family received more than $10 million from foreign entities—mostly while he was vice president, according to information released Wednesday. Republicans on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee issued a 36-page memo that made public a sampling of the thousands of pages of bank records regarding the Biden family and foreign entities. The…
The clock is ticking on America’s debt, and Republicans lawmakers are calling on President Joe Biden to agree to their plan to raise the debt ceiling and rein in government spending. Under the leadership of Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., House Republicans issued a plan to raise the debt ceiling by $1.5 trillion, or until the…
Impeachment is the only recourse if a government whistleblower’s allegation that President Joe Biden was part of a bribery scheme is true, said Rep. Gary Palmer, R-Ala., chairman of the Republican Policy Committee. “You can’t prosecute a sitting president for crimes, so the only recourse—if this document exists, and we believe it does—is for the…
The Department of Health and Human Services has rescinded its effective demand that a Catholic hospital snuff out a candle it keeps burning in the chapel, a candle that HHS called a threat to hospital safety. "The game was simply not worth the candle for HHS," Lori Windham, vice president and senior counsel at Becket,…
The White House dismisses the revelation that a government whistleblower implicates President Joe Biden in a bribery scheme, calling the accusation no different than other investigations of the president’s family “going on five years.” But this allegation is quite different, noted one member of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee. “This is the first time…
Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, said Thursday that the FBI should move quickly to release a document alleging that President Joe Biden was part of a bribery scheme when he was vice president. “Maybe there is nothing to see from this [FBI] form. I hope that’s the case. If so,…
