Joe Biden News

As if on cue, President Joe Biden asked the lame-duck Congress for yet another $47.7 billion supplemental spending package just as representatives and senators returned to Washington after the midterm elections. Lawmakers should reject Biden’s spending binge. The lame-duck period is when Congress is least accountable, taking place after the American people voted out the…

Thirty-five years ago, Democratic Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware, who was then serving as chairman of the Judiciary Committee, gave a speech explaining why he was going to vote against confirming Judge Robert Bork to the Supreme Court. Biden spoke as a self-proclaimed “child of God” and claimed his opposition to Bork was all about…

Americans know all too well that soaring energy prices have raised costs throughout the economy. What isn’t as obvious is that the Biden administration knows it is blocking solutions that could decrease those costs. Such an embarrassing admission likely won’t come in President Joe Biden’s next press conference. But it can be found buried in a 500-page report…

The economic gaslighting coming out of Washington is astounding, even by D.C. standards. Former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe recently praised the Biden administration for its handling of the economy, ignoring failures on inflation, boondoggle spending, and energy taxes. McAuliffe even compared fellow Democrat President Joe Biden’s failed American Rescue Plan to former President Franklin D….

President Joe Biden wants your children to make life-changing gender transitions, and the only reason you want to stop him is bigotry and fear. At least, so he says. In a NowThis media roundtable aired Sunday, Biden discussed issues of the day with progressive activists and social media personalities. Most notable was his interview with…

Extensive popular protests against Iran’s repressive regime continue with no end in sight following the Sept. 16 death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman beaten to death by police because she allegedly violated the regime’s strict Islamic dress code. Iranian human rights activists estimate that at least 201 Iranians have been killed in the nationwide…

The Left used to accuse imperialist, resource-hungry Yanquis in Washington of cutting selfish deals with illiberal dictatorships in Latin America to grab their natural resources. How odd then that President Joe Biden is now begging the despicable Maduro regime in Venezuela—corrupt, murderous, and anti-American—to produce more of its oil solely to send northward to America….

President Joe Biden announced Tuesday that his administration had expanded Obamacare. Congress didn’t legislate the expansion. The Internal Revenue Service did. The IRS scrapped an Obama administration regulation that faithfully implemented the Obamacare statute, officially called the Affordable Care Act, which became law in 2010 on a party-line vote. At issue is whether dependents of…

If the average price of a gallon of gas falls by a penny, White House chief of staff Ron Klain will take to Twitter and credit the Biden administration. In the last few months, due to lower demand and other factors, consumers have experienced a reprieve from historic highs. Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre points out…

The West is experiencing its third energy crisis. The first, in 1973, was caused by the near-quintupling of the price of crude oil by Gulf oil producers in response to America’s support for Israel in the Yom Kippur war. Their action brought an end to what the French call the Trente Glorieuses—the unprecedented post-World War…

As the death toll from Hurricane Ian soars past 100, heroes like U.S. Coast Guard Aviation Survival Technician Second Class Zach Loesch are one reason it isn’t higher. Loesch kicked through a wall to rescue a 94-year-old disabled woman and her husband, hoisting them—and her wheelchair—into a helicopter amid high winds. You know, the sort of feats they…

Conservative political pundits love to air videos of Old Joe’s erratic, often unintelligible remarks. There are sure to be “replays” of many of these in campaign commercials during the nonstop run-up to the 2024 elections. President Joe Biden’s uncertain, dithering, wrong-headed decisions and outright lies on everything from the COVID-19 pandemic to the catastrophe on…

Widespread protests continue to erupt in Iran following the Sept. 16 death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman who was beaten fatally by Iran’s morality police after being arrested on charges of wearing clothing that violated a strict Islamic dress code. The protests, which swiftly spread from Amini’s hometown to more than 80 cities, now…

The leftist ideologues at the Biden administration’s foreign aid agency have just drafted a new policy on gender. The U.S. Agency for International Development is supposed to use U.S. foreign assistance funds to “advance a free, peaceful, and prosperous world.” Its stated goals—saving lives, reducing poverty, and helping people progress beyond the need for assistance—are…

Conservatives shouldn’t help President Joe Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer fund a government that is destroying the safety of our families, the future of our children, and the strength of our economy. From open borders and student debt amnesty to skyrocketing inflation, climate radicalism, and our public education system,…

The Biden administration has failed significantly in bringing Afghan evacuees into the country after the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.    According to a new inspector general’s report from the Department of Homeland Security, the administration had no contingency plans to support emergency operations, no proper vetting procedures for refugees, and no standardized policies.    Because of…

“He’s so nice!”  A key reason that Joe Biden occupies the White House is that too many voters considered him a nice guy. “It would be fun to have a beer with Grandpa Lunchbucket!” Or so the thinking went. Whatever his ideas, Biden would be so much warmer than Mean Mr. Marmalade, Donald J. Trump.    So,…
