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.
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,…
President Joe Biden has gone on a massive spending binge, racking up trillions in debt and flouting budgetary rules along the way. It has hit American families squarely in the wallet, spiking inflation to 8.3% in August, a rate not previously seen since 1982. Fortunately, as my new report from The Heritage Foundation describes, Congress…
After a hot summer with utility bills rising, reasonable people would think that President Joe Biden would want to keep air conditioning costs low for Americans. But the Senate is poised to vote on a climate treaty that would raise those costs and put yet another notch in the belt of Biden’s whole-of-government, whole-of-the-economy climate…
The Biden administration has become a “constitutional disaster” and the Constitution now is “under serious assault,” one of the most-watched Republican congressional candidates warns. “The Biden administration is a constitutional disaster the likes of which we have not seen before,” Harriet Hageman, the GOP candidate running for Wyoming’s only congressional district, said Wednesday at a…
First lady Jill Biden said parents should not be able to exclude any books from school libraries in a Tuesday interview on the “Today” show. NBC News correspondent Sheinelle Jones had hinted at recent debates in asking her about school libraries. “Parents and politicians are now weighing in on what books should be in our…
The Biden administration is playing games with the definitions of sex and gender. President Joe Biden has proposed changing the definition of the word “sex” in Title IX, a portion of the Education Amendments of 1972 that prevents discrimination on the basis of sex within public education. Biden would redefine sex to include gender identity…
President Joe Biden travelled to Philadelphia, to Independence Hall, the place where the nation’s Founders signed the Declaration of Independence, to make his case for “The Continued Battle for the Soul of the Nation.” Indeed, the president, in his remarks, said we are at an “inflection point” regarding where we stand and the path we’ll…
Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt last week exposed the symbiosis of the deep state and the Silicon Valley elites. Schmitt’s revelation came just days after Americans learned that Facebook coordinated with the FBI to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story a few weeks before the 2020 election. It is now clearer than ever that President…
President Joe Biden’s irresponsible budget policies are hurting America’s families. Inflation hit 8.5% in July, a rate not seen since 1981. Prices for things families need, such as gas, groceries, and household staples, have risen since Biden signed his $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act inflationary spending bill into law in March 2021. There’s an…
On Thursday, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt unveiled some very interesting documents that his office and the office of Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry have received since the two states jointly filed a potentially pathbreaking lawsuit in May. Their lawsuit alleges that various high-ranking Biden administration officials have been colluding, in censorious fashion, with the…
If you never looked at a poll and watched only the network news to stay informed, you might think Joe Biden is a very successful and popular president. That’s not an accident. There’s a lot of well-designed embroidery and energetic omissions. They pretend Biden has never mismanaged anything or caused a single problem in America….
This week, President Joe Biden—in search of a new label to pin on his political opponents after the failure of his “ultra-MAGA” branding, which prompted peals of laughter rather than shudders of horror—landed on a new slur with which to tar those who don’t support his agenda: they are, he said, semi-fascists. Speaking with a…
As if the American people needed further evidence of the misplaced priorities of the Biden administration, there’s more. While the economy continues to tank, inflation continues to rise, and national security and public safety are threatened by intentional erosion of any semblance of border security or rational immigration policy, the administration has taken yet another…
Today, Aug. 26, marks one year since an ISIS-K suicide bomber killed 13 U.S. service members and about 200 Afghans outside the international airport in Kabul. Marine Lance Cpl. Rylee McCollum, one of the 13 service members who died, was only 20 at the time of the fatal attack. His widow, Jiennah Crayton, also known…
Congress voted on a massive infrastructure spending bill last fall. Despite being packed with wins for left-wing interest groups and adding to the spending spree that has fueled devastating inflation, 19 Republican senators crossed over to provide it with far more than enough votes to pass. The Biden administration has predictably used the bill for…
