Joe Biden News

The unfolding disaster in Afghanistan is a bipartisan, transadministrational failure. It is a humiliation. The fact is that after 20 years, after thousands of lives were lost and hundreds of billions of dollars were spent on the military, police, training, infrastructure, and education, the country fell in days. Whatever your position is on the presence…

When President Joe Biden addressed the American people on the Afghanistan withdrawal last Friday, we were witnessing the death spiral of one of the most calamitous U.S. administrations of modern times.  This presidency is sinking faster than the Titanic, increasingly friendless on the world stage, and looking like easy prey to America’s enemies, from Beijing to Moscow. Biden appeared confused, angry, incoherent, and…

President Joe Biden is moving ahead with plans to evacuate all U.S. citizens and troops from Afghanistan by Aug. 31, providing the Taliban does not interfere with the evacuation. But Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, a combat veteran, says she does not see how it’s possible to meet that deadline.  The notion that Americans and our…

President Joe Biden is still in the midst of the worst stretch of news coverage of his administration—and it’s one of his own creation. Facts that have emerged about Biden’s calamitous withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan show that he was unwilling to listen to his own military leaders, changed his story about his faith…

President Joe Biden stepped out of the Oval Office on Friday and delivered yet another defense of his Afghanistan withdrawal. For those convinced he’s in over his head, he did not disappoint. His excuses were as pathetic as ever—but there was more in these remarks. Biden, an inept statesman and a disastrous politician, also proved…

The very supportive media environment around President Joe Biden has turned suddenly sour over this administration’s shoddy handling of Afghanistan. This debacle shouldn’t be buried and ignored by the press, like they’ve tried to do with the border crisis. But Biden’s gone back to hiding as a strategy, as he did in his 2020 presidential…

After searing criticism from Democrats and Republicans about how he has mishandled the withdrawal of the remaining American forces, diplomats, their families, and contractors from Afghanistan, President Joe Biden interrupted his Camp David retreat to return to the White House for a speech in which he blamed the Trump administration for its failed policies relating to…

In November 2009, the late Charles Krauthammer gave a seminal speech, titled “Decline Is a Choice.” In it, Krauthammer stated, “The question of whether America is in decline cannot be answered yes or no. There is no yes or no … Nothing is inevitable. Nothing is written. For America today, decline is not a condition….

As many Americans are likely becoming more aware of, confidence in the competence of President Joe Biden is waning quickly. The images and videos coming out of Afghanistan show a catastrophic failure to execute a withdrawal from the troubled country, and indicate that serious failures in intelligence and planning have taken place at the highest…

One of the hard-fought victories of the tea party wave that swept Congress in 2010 was the elimination of earmarks in 2011. The new majority wanted to rededicate Congress to the goal of promoting a free society—free, among other things, from the manipulation of central planners. And one of the favorite tactics of central planners…

The Biden administration, whose failed efforts to appease the Taliban with a one-sided “peace” agreement have been exposed as a catastrophic error in Afghanistan, is under pressure to step back from confronting Iran on nuclear and other issues. Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., chairman of the relevant Foreign Relations Committee subcommittee, has called for the U.S….

President Joe Biden thought he might be ending endless wars, but all he accomplished was making the protection of U.S. interests in Afghanistan more costly and more at risk. Further, he faces three new crises that America will have to confront. How Biden addresses them will shape the future of his presidency and America’s security….

Last week, the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ordered a “code red,” releasing a “landmark” report warning that global warming was an existential threat to humanity, “unequivocally” blaming humans for the problem, and demanding rapid action to cut greenhouse gas emissions. “What the IPCC told us is what President [Joe] Biden has believed all…

Before President Joe Biden addressed the nation on the crisis in Afghanistan, someone should have reminded him of the adage “When you are in a deep hole, stop digging.” Because on top of his strategic failures in Afghanistan, he has now made a massive political misjudgment. Here is the problem with a White House rebuttal that just blames…

What does President Joe Biden’s disastrous decision on Afghanistan portend for the future of transnational Islamist terrorism? A lot. The administration needs to acknowledge its mistakes and get busy preventing the terrorist rampage. There are two ways that the world could see a lot more slaughtering of innocents after America’s humiliating withdrawal from Afghanistan. First, of course, we…

Federal District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk on Friday granted judgment in favor of Texas and Missouri against the Biden administration in their lawsuit over the president’s termination of the Migrant Protection Protocols (commonly called the “Remain in Mexico” policy).  The takeaway is that unless President Joe Biden prevails in an emergency appeal, the policy will be…
