    Biden’s Big Elections Lie

    President Joe Biden finally delivered his “voting rights” speech in Atlanta, telling a crowd: “The next few days, when these bills come to a vote, will mark a turning point in this nation’s history.

    ‘Fact-Checkers’ Fall Silent on Biden’s ‘Voting Rights’ Speech Smears

    One of the most frustrating things about “fact-checkers” is how they leap on conservative rhetoric against Democrats as “false” or “missing context,” but give Democrats a pass to say the wildest, nastiest things about conservatives. For example, PolitiFact pounced on then-Sen. David Perdue, R-Ga., as a “Pants on Fire” liar for calling his opponent, Democrat…

    Biden’s Grotesque Voting Speech

    Vulgar. Disgusting. Repugnant. These are three of the more charitable adjectives that describe President Joe Biden’s execrable speech on Tuesday. He flew to Atlanta to promote so-called “voting rights” legislation that would nationalize state election laws and codify many of the dangerous measures that “temporarily” loosened ballot security in 2020, as COVID-19 terrorized America. Biden…

    In Year-End Recap, ABC Saves Biden’s Bacon

    One of the most disturbing concepts in politics is the media elite providing the “first draft of history.” You can test-drive this with a look at ABC’s two-hour, year-end special that aired on Dec. 27. It was mostly about celebrities and athletes and some natural disasters. But when President Joe Biden came up, ABC was…

    Biden Wants to, in His Words, ‘Eviscerate the Senate’

    Then-Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., condemned weakening the Senate’s tradition of extended debate as “an example of the arrogance of power,” a “power grab by the majority party” that would “eviscerate the Senate.” It was 2005, and Republicans held the White House and Congress.

    Biden’s Many Anti-Energy Policies Are Hurting Producers, Consumers Alike

    When Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm addressed the National Petroleum Council on Tuesday, she announced that the administration would not impose a ban on crude oil exports in an effort to tamp down gasoline and diesel prices. That was the right move, as doing so would only have created more rigidity in energy markets and exacerbated…

    Biden Bureaucrats Quietly Increase Federal Government’s Control Over Health Care

    Throughout the first decade of the 21st century, conservatives in state capitals and in Congress supported a balanced approach of increasing health insurance coverage while granting states flexibility to design sustainable Medicaid programs for low-income residents that include personal responsibility.  States enjoyed broad flexibility to recreate Medicaid programs that reflected what was practicable and achievable. …

    Biden Blames Big Oil for High Cost of His War on Oil

    President Joe Biden is the kind of man who deliberately would steer his car into a ditch, crawl from the wreckage, and then probe the ditch for criminal conduct. Such nonsense mirrors Biden’s recent instructions to the Federal Trade Commission. Citing “mounting evidence of anti-consumer behavior by oil-and-gas companies,” Biden told the Federal Trade Commission…
