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.
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…
President Joe Biden spoke Friday in response to the Supreme Court decision in Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health, in which the court overruled Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. The speech was heavy on outrage, but light on truthfulness. Here are a few of Biden’s worst whoppers. Claim 1: “Today the Supreme Court of the United…
President Joe Biden sharply denounced the Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision earlier Friday overturning its Roe v. Wade ruling and ending abortion on demand in America after nearly 50 years. “The health and life of women in this nation are now at risk,” Biden said in remarks at the White House shortly after 12:30 p.m. Biden…
Although required by law to submit a budget and Economic Report of the President to Congress no later than the first Monday in February, President Joe Biden waited until March 28 to turn in his homework, a nearly two-month extension many students would envy. Now, in a scathing rebuttal Friday to Biden’s report on the…
Americans have had more than a year to experience President Joe Biden’s administration. If Biden’s slouching poll numbers are any indication, Americans aren’t thrilled with the president’s performance. High inflation featuring rising food and gas prices, missing baby formula, and a hyperfocus on race and gender ideology seemingly are beginning to grate on the public’s…
For a brief moment last week, President Joe Biden’s administration appeared to be interested in what parents think about K-12 schools. Low student achievement coming out of the pandemic. High rates of depression among youth. School officials hiding information about students’ health from their parents. The administration seemed to be aware of these concerns when…
Plagued by inflation, a projected upcoming Republican wave in the midterm elections, and high gas prices, President Joe Biden is desperately seeking a win on clean energy. To achieve that win, he has authorized the inappropriate use of the Defense Production Act— an egregious misuse of executive power. Last Monday, Biden announced that he authorized…
This week, the stock market took a turn into bear territory on the heels of yet another brutal monthly inflation report. With the Federal Reserve considering larger rate hikes in order to tamp down record inflation, the possibility of a near-term recession now looms quite large, despite the feeble protestations of Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen….
President Joe Biden hasn’t granted an interview to a news outlet since Feb. 10. Some might energetically assert these four months of avoidance ended on June 8, when Biden sat down on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” But absolutely no one should consider this 24-minute sponge bath a news interview. It sounded more like a friendly…
