There’s Nothing Equitable in Union Pension Bailouts Unmentioned in Biden’s ‘Equity’ Report
It goes without saying that bailing out bad actors is not equitable. So, it’s no wonder the Biden administration left any mention of a nearly $100 billion selective bailout of private union pension plans out of its “Advancing Equity Through the American Rescue Plan” report. To date, 37 multiemployer pension plans have requested between $4…Rachel Greszler -

House Republicans Ready for New Scrutiny of Biden Climate Goals, Green Foreign Agents
House Republicans will reactivate investigations into the relationship between hostile foreign governments and activists who oppose American energy production if their party regains a congressional majority in November, congressional sources and policy analysts say. As rising gas prices and inflation bedevil consumers, Congress should devote more time and attention to “anti-energy campaigns” that undercut America’s…Kevin Mooney -

Buffalo vs. Waukesha: To Biden, Some Mass Killings Are Worse Than Others
If the following news headlines were paired in an essay question on a high school Advanced Placement civics test, it might well be framed as “Compare and contrast.” “Biden will travel to Buffalo on Tuesday following mass shooting, official says.”—CNN, May 15 “Psaki says Biden has NO [emphasis in original] plans to visit Waukesha after…Peter Parisi -

Biden’s Gushy Lunch With Thomas Friedman
President Joe Biden’s minders have kept their man away from granting interviews—with reporters who overwhelmingly voted for him. Republicans went on Twitter to mock Biden when he reached 100 days since his last interview on Feb. 10. This is a pattern. Biden sat for just 28 interviews during his first year in office, compared with…Tim Graham -

Biden to Highlight Police Accountability 2 Years After George Floyd’s Death
President Joe Biden is expected to issue an executive order Wednesday to limit the use of chokeholds and no-knock warrants by police as a way to mark the two-year anniversary of the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer.

Biden’s Buffalo Speech Was Speech of Indecent Man
If an American president has ever given as mendacious, anti-American, and hate-filled a speech as President Joe Biden did in Buffalo, New York, last week, I am not familiar with it. Nor are you. Biden used the terrible mass shooting of black people in a Buffalo grocery store to smear America, divide Americans, and foment…Dennis Prager -

With Beijing Breathing Down Taiwan’s Neck, What Signal Did Biden Just Send?
In Japan on Monday, President Joe Biden seemingly departed from previous American policy regarding Taiwan, announcing that the U.S. would militarily defend the tiny island nation if China were to invade. Walter Lohman, director of The Heritage Foundation’s Asian Studies Center, says Biden’s statement was a huge mistake. “We want to keep the Chinese guessing…Douglas Blair -

Terrorists Surf-in Atop Biden Democrats’ Illegal Alien Tsunami
“The fact is that our borders are not open,” according to Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Chris Magnus. You could have fooled me. Notwithstanding this unfounded claim by a member of Team Biden, Border Patrol agents confronted 234,088 illegal aliens in April. This is yet another record shattered by an administration that smashes all the…Deroy Murdock -

Is Biden’s ‘Success’ Our Mess?
If an administration deliberately wished to cause havoc on the border, to ensure fuel was nearly unaffordable, to create a crime wave, to spark 1970s hyperinflation, and to rekindle racial tensions, what would it have done differently than what President Joe Biden has done? So is Biden malicious, incompetent, or a wannabe left-wing ideologue? When…Victor Davis Hanson -

Twenty senators sent a letter this week to Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo seeking her support for the Biden administration’s immediate issuing of permits required to use offshore federal oil and gas leases.

Team Biden Quietly Admits Math Error Behind Long Delays in Oil, Gas Permits
The Biden administration privately acknowledged late last month that a mathematical error is delaying the federal government's offshore oil and gas program. In an April 29 letter to industry leaders obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation, the head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says that a subagency “discovered a miscalculation” that has…Thomas Catenacci -

Biden Administration Refuses to Recognize Long-Term Effects of Puberty Blockers
When it comes to subjecting children who are confused about their gender to hormones, puberty-blocking drugs, and irreversible surgeries, the Biden administration has exhibited an alarmingly one-track mind: Inject and cut now, ask questions later. On April 6, Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra was asked in a House of Representatives committee hearing if…Dan Hart -

There’s a Cold War Brewing Between Biden and Everyday Americans
Last June, the Biden administration unveiled its National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism. Despite its anodyne-sounding name, the national strategy was anything but anodyne. The pamphlet represented the logical culmination of the left’s cynical use of the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot as a means of ginning up large-scale, nationwide anti-Republican/anti-Trump voter sentiment.

As Inflation Soars, Biden Turns to Failed Policies of the Past
In 1974, when the inflation rate was 11.04%, President Gerald Ford came up with a slogan: “Whip Inflation Now.” WIN buttons were manufactured by the millions and people were asked to wear them to demonstrate grassroots solidarity to combat the economic scourge. The campaign was later described by Martin Crutsinger in a The Associated Press…Cal Thomas -

Left’s Intimidation of Justices Is Illegal, but Will Biden Enforce the Law?
Irony doesn’t begin to explain why pro-choice activists chose Mother’s Day weekend to picket the homes of Justice Brett Kavanaugh and Chief Justice John Roberts, who appear ready to overturn Roe v. Wade. In an age when there appear to be fewer consequences for violating moral or statutory laws, demonstrators and protesters outside the Supreme Court…Cal Thomas -

The Last Thing We Need Is Biden’s Thought Police Bureau
President Joe Biden’s bad idea factory just belched out a doozy: The Disinformation Governance Board rolled off the assembly line to the sound of shrieks and Klaxons—and deservedly so. The last thing American citizens need is a taxpayer-funded thought police bureau that monitors public utterances, condemns them as “disinformation,” and then flags them for dutiful…Deroy Murdock -

‘Fact-Checkers’ Bored by Biden’s Outbursts
President Joe Biden can say the craziest things, and we know that the liberal “fact-checkers” are very likely to look the other way. Some of these fact-mangling gaffes might be called “senior moments.” At a Lockheed Martin plant in Alabama on May 3, Biden suggested we were sending missiles to Russia. “Before Russia attacked, we…Tim Graham -
