Biden’s Plan for ‘Climate Friendly’ Military Vehicles: Another Bad Idea for Defense
Earth Day often has provided presidents with a platform to propose drastic interventionist policies in the name of combating climate change. From spending billions of federal dollars on wildlife protection in swing states to pushing for adoption of the Paris Agreement on climate change, these policies are usually mere political grandstanding. Americans can only hope…Maiya Clark -

Biden Takes Deserved Heat for ‘Disinformation’ Board and Its Politically Charged Director
President Joe Biden’s homeland security chief last week announced his agency’s new “Disinformation Governance Board” to tell Americans what is true and false. In a welcome development, the Biden administration is increasingly frustrated as many observers ridicule the move and refer to the board as an Orwellian “Ministry of Truth.” “The spread of disinformation can…Erin Dwinell -

Biden’s Ministry of Truth
A federal speech czar? Just as the Founders imagined it, no doubt. Earlier this week, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told Congress that his agency is creating a “Disinformation Governance Board” to combat “misinformation” coming from Russia as we near this year’s midterm elections. The Biden administration’s new Committee on Public Information will be led…David Harsanyi -

Biden’s Failures Highlight How Federal Government Is Too Big
Candidate Joe Biden promised to solve our problems and restore faith in the American government. Today, he is one of the least popular presidents in history. And CNN’s John Harwood, perhaps the most sycophantic flunky of the Democratic Party not on the company payroll, says that Biden is a victim of circumstances, facing problems that…David Harsanyi -

Biden Administration Should Lose Its Mask Mandate Appeal
The Justice Department has filed what hopefully is a doomed appeal of a federal judge’s order Monday vacating the federal mask mandate for airline, train, and bus passengers. District Court Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle of Florida ended what had become a severe (and unjustified) annoyance to travelers, judging by the cheers that erupted on flights…Hans von Spakovsky -

Tidal Wave Nears Border, but Team Biden Goes Full Steam Ahead
A disaster is looming. President Joe Biden appears to be going full steam ahead on ending Title 42. This is the health policy, created in the 1940s and implemented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under President Donald Trump, that allowed the swift deportation of illegal immigrants during the pandemic to prevent the…Jarrett Stepman -

Record Taxes Aren’t Enough for Biden
As Americans filed their federal tax returns this Monday, President Joe Biden’s White House put out a statement promoting his plan to increase taxes. It adopted Biden’s typical class-war rhetoric, claiming to protect the incomes of middle-class Americans, while increasing taxes on corporations and the “rich.” “President Biden’s plan would give tax relief to tens…Terence Jeffrey -

Biden Administration Ducks Credit for Advancing Drilling for Oil, Gas
The Biden administration is already shying away from its decision to restart the much-delayed federal oil and gas leasing program, saying its hands are tied. The Department of the Interior announced that it would begin holding fossil fuel lease sales under the program Friday, but reduced the amount of land available for drilling by 80% and…Thomas Catenacci -

House Republicans are demanding that Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas produce key immigration enforcement data that they argue is being hidden from the public by the Biden administration, according to a letter exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The letter, sent Thursday, is led by Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, and co-signed by 19 other Republican…Jennie Taer -

How History Will View the Biden Years
When historians study the disaster that was the Biden administration, they will find many factors that contributed to the historic level of failure we are witnessing. At the top of the list is a president who is clearly just not up to the job. Whether due to age, cognitive decline, or general ineptitude, Joe Biden…Neil Patel -

Biden Fuels Soaring Inflation and Media Does Its Part to Gaslight Us About It
The United States is suffering through its highest level of inflation in 40 years and the White House and its media allies can’t stop peddling false narratives to help the president dodge blame. Numbers released April 12 by the Labor Department paint a grim picture of U.S. inflation that rose 8.5% in the past year….Jarrett Stepman -

Biden Plan to Tame Gas Prices Will Affect Few Service Stations, Save 10 Cents for Some
President Joe Biden’s action this week to address record-high gasoline prices will have a bare minimum impact on consumers, saving some American families a few dollars a month. Biden issued an emergency waiver Tuesday allowing gas stations nationwide to sell gasoline with 15% ethanol, pausing a federal environmental regulation that prohibits the corn-based biofuel mixture during the…Thomas Catenacci -

Sex-Change Surgeries for Kids: A-OK With Biden
The Biden administration recently sent a letter to the attorney general of each state, warning the top law enforcement officials that they could be violating civil rights law if they don’t comply with “gender-affirming care” procedures for children. But just what is this gender-affirming care promoted by President Joe Biden, and how does it affect…Douglas Blair -

Inflation Soars to New High of 8.5% Under Biden
A key consumer price metric used by the government to measure inflation soared 8.5% over the past 12 months, the fastest pace of inflation since December 1981, the Labor Department announced Tuesday. The consumer price index increased 1.2% between February and March, the fastest month-over-month figure since 2005, according to the Labor Department report, meaning more bad…Thomas Catenacci -

Stop Biden and the Democrats’ War on Charter Schools
Just as I predicted in August 2020, Joe Biden has declared war on school choice. When he ran for president, Biden told voters in Georgetown, South Carolina, in February 2020: “I am not a charter school fan because it takes away the options available and money for public schools.” An equally ungrammatical Biden said in Pittsburgh on…Deroy Murdock -

Lia Thomas Was Just the Beginning. Biden Administration Wants to Eliminate Women’s Sports.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the passage of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, the federal law prohibiting sex-based discrimination in any educational program that is federally funded either directly or indirectly. But in a painful twist of irony, that same rule is now on the chopping block, thanks to an…Sarah Parshall Perry -

Media Collusion Defused Bombshell Story About Hunter and Joe Biden
About three weeks before the 2020 election, the New York Post published a bombshell, election-changing story about presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, that, if true, derailed Joe Biden’s claim to know nothing about his son’s multimillion-dollar influence peddling. The Post claimed: “Hunter Biden introduced his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to a top executive…Larry Elder -

5 Biden Transportation Potholes Making Motorists’ Lives Miserable
Just a few months ago, Washington celebrated the passage of a bloated infrastructure bill. Supporters trotted out tired claims about fixing “crumbling roads and bridges” using gobs of taxpayer money.

Biden Doubles Down on Radical ‘Gender-Affirming Care’ for Kids
Thursday, the final day of Women’s History Month, was dubbed the Transgender Day of Visibility by whatever star chamber makes up those sorts of things.

Recuse Yourself, Joe Biden
If we’re going to create transparently idiotic, partisan standards on the fly, they should be applied to everyone in government. If Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has an ethical obligation to recuse himself from all cases related to the Jan. 6 riots because his wife, Ginni, has opinions on the matter, as most Democrats now…David Harsanyi
