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.
Lia Thomas was recently nominated as the NCAA “Woman of the Year.” Just one problem: Thomas is male. Yet neither the “progressive media” nor the Biden administration sees this as problematic. Thomas, a collegiate swimmer, declared to be a girl. The “woke” media wrapped him in praise when he exited the pool a Division I…
When Democratic Sen. Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts led the fight in 1996 to stop a federal law that would define marriage as the union of one man and one woman, he faced some prominent opponents in his own party. They included then-Rep. Chuck Schumer of New York, then-Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware, and then-President Bill…
England’s National Health Service plans to shut down its only youth gender clinic after an investigation found it to be unsafe for children, according to The Telegraph. An independent review found that medical professionals at Tavistock transgender clinic were pressured to unquestioningly affirm children’s gender identities and skip the normal clinical assessment process, prompting the…
The Washington Post reported Monday night that President Joe Biden is “considering whether to declare a national climate emergency” to “salvage his stalled environmental agenda and satisfy Democrats on Capitol Hill.” A few hours later, The Associated Press reported that the administration would “hold off” on the announcement as he, presumably, lays the political groundwork…
The left should be ecstatic that President Joe Biden has given them everything they wanted. The left likes inflation. It reduces the value of old money by printing lots of new money. Those richer who have it, lose the value of their money; those poorer who don’t have any money, suddenly do. When combined with…
In a speech Wednesday in Massachusetts, President Joe Biden announced that he would use yet more executive action in a bid to push his radical climate agenda, despite recent checks on unilateral presidential action by Congress and the Supreme Court. The administration is aiming to overhaul the energy sector and the American economy to achieve…
Did you ever read a column and think, “You must be joking”? That was my reaction to Washington Post columnist Perry Bacon Jr. on Tuesday trying to explain “How media coverage drove Biden’s political plunge.” Bacon tweeted it this way: “One of the biggest challenges for Biden has been facing a mainstream media looking to…
New polling from Pew Research and from The New York Times/Siena College, released a few days apart, cast similarly dismal pictures regarding the popularity of President Joe Biden. Overall approval for Biden from Times/Siena College stands at 33% and from Pew 37%. However, both polls show approval for the president much stronger than the national…
With inflation surging to 9.1% and averaging much higher in the rural heartland than in urban areas, now is not the time for the federal government to pour gasoline on the fire. Yet, as Democrats negotiate the newest iteration of their socialist nightmare—the so-called Build Back Better Act—that is exactly what they are planning to…
President Joe Biden has a miserable 33% job approval rating, according to the New York Times/Siena College poll, making him one of the least popular first-term presidents in history. Sixty-four percent of Democrats say they want another candidate in the 2024 presidential race. No modern president, as far as I can tell, has faced higher…
Next week will mark one and a half years since Joe Biden became president on Jan. 20, 2021. On July 20, every American should look within and ask: “Am I better off than I was 18 months ago?” To Biden’s credit, the unemployment rate has fallen from 6.4% when he took office to 3.6% in…
An organization of Hispanic journalists blasted first lady Jill Biden after she claimed Hispanics were as “unique” as breakfast tacos during a Monday speech in San Antonio. “Using breakfast tacos to try to demonstrate the uniqueness of Latinos in San Antonio demonstrates a lack of cultural knowledge and sensitivity to the diversity of Latinos in the region,”…
President Joe Biden has been functionally abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement from his first day in office. A year and a half into his presidential term, Biden’s administration is getting bolder and more strategic, gutting ICE resources and funding, doing everything it can to stop immigration enforcement, and directing ICE lawyers to close tens of…
President Joe Biden visited an ironworkers union in Ohio Wednesday, attempting to claim credit for saving workers’ pensions. Meanwhile, Biden ignored that millions of Americans have seen their 401(k)s and other retirement savings falter under inflation and massive market losses. The stock market’s cratering has wiped out some $3 trillion in retirement savings this year, according to the Center…
While running for president in 2020, Joe Biden famously tweeted that he’d own up to his mistakes. “It’s hard to believe this has to be said, but unlike this president [then-President Donald Trump], I’ll do my job and take responsibility. I won’t blame others,” he wrote. “And I’ll never forget that the job isn’t about…
Fifty-three illegal immigrants died in a tractor-trailer in San Antonio on June 27 after unlawfully entering the U.S. The rest of last week, it was revealed that multiple additional smuggling incidents had resulted in migrant deaths as smugglers attempted to evade law enforcement. Many have rightly blamed President Joe Biden’s open-border policies for these deaths…
As the U.S. southern border is being overrun with record numbers of illegal aliens month after month, the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday approved the Biden administration’s termination of the successful Remain in Mexico program in a 5-4 decision by Chief Justice John Roberts and joined by Justices Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and…
A framework for a federal red flag law undoubtedly would be abused by President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security in conjunction with its efforts to take away American citizens’ guns based on speech the left doesn’t like. After the recent school massacre in Uvalde, Texas, Democrats and Republicans are yet again arguing over gun…
The following is adapted from the author’s June 14, 2022, testimony before the Pennsylvania House Majority Policy Committee. The story on food prices keeps getting worse. Food prices in May 2022 were a whopping 10.1% higher than prices in May 2021. The size of these food price increases have not been seen in over 40…
On June 18, someone captured video of President Joe Biden riding a bike on vacation in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. When he came to a stop, he caught his foot in the pedal and fell to the pavement. Without it being on tape, no one would have cared much. On social media, conservatives quickly brought up…
