President Joe Biden on Wednesday signed an executive order pushing federal agencies to come up with new restrictions on cryptocurrencies, while formally tasking them to consider imposing a Chinese-style government-run surveillance crypto to displace the U.S. dollar.

The Biden administration and its Environmental Protection Agency are continuing their attack on sound science and undermining faith in the regulatory process. In December 2020, during the Trump administration, the EPA decided to retain the existing air quality standards for fine particulate matter.

In May 2017, then-CNN boss Jeff Zucker gave an interview to “The New Yorker Radio Hour” and made waves by proclaiming, “Fox is state-run TV and is extolling the line out of the White House.

The Biden administration continues to take America down the unsustainable path of open borders and a welfare state for noncitizens. It has proposed a new “public charge” rule that greatly expands the types of government assistance immigrant applicants may receive without becoming a public charge. The administration is breathing new life into the old adage…
