Don’t Be Fooled by Charm Campaign: Biden Administration Must Hold Line on Huawei
The Chinese telecom giant Huawei has initiated a charm campaign in recent weeks to convince the Biden administration to be more accommodating toward the company. To safeguard American national security, the Biden administration must not take the bait. Among Huawei’s increased lobbying activities in the U.S. is the hiring of longtime Washington lobbyist Tony Podesta….Anthony Imperato -

Truck-Drivin’ Joe: Biden Brings Penchant for Fabrication to Presidency
To hear President Joe Biden tell it, he is everyman. Almost literally. He’s a truck-driving, long-ball-hitting outlaw who is uncommonly brave, marched for civil rights, and was an accomplished scholar in law school. It’s an impressive resume, especially for a politician who has spent most of the past 48 years in Washington, D.C. And almost…Tim Murtaugh -

Border Crisis Is No Accident. It’s Biden Making Good on Campaign Promises.
If you wanted to make up something to depict President Joe Biden as the cause of the border crisis, you might invent a scenario in which he was just turning illegal immigrants loose into the interior of the country. Such a situation might easily be dismissed by skeptics as too much of a caricature of…Tim Murtaugh -

Biden Border ‘Blueprint’: Unfair, Disorderly, and Inhumane
The Biden administration is hoping that if it repeats the words describing its border process as “fair, orderly, and humane” enough times, Americans will begin to believe it. Never mind what Americans’ lying eyes actually see every day at the border. The administration this week released its “Blueprint for a Fair, Orderly and Humane Immigration…Lora Ries -

President Joe Biden announced proposed changes to the Buy American Act on Wednesday that would increase the requirement for U.S.-produced components in products bought by the federal government.

To Follow the Science, Biden Administration Should Free the Science
CDC can stand for many things: Conspiracy for Deceptive Calculations, Cartel for Democrats after Coronavirus—and probably more. But one thing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention should stand for is good science. Whether it does is up for debate, as public health experts like Dr. Martin Makary have criticized the agency for public health…Tony Perkins -

Biden’s Baleful Border Betrayal
Is there anything the left won’t blame on its fantastical scapegoat, climate change? Don’t bet on it. Its latest dodge is blaming the border crisis, which it created, on the climate crisis, which it invented. A Politico article is headlined, “It’s Not a Border Crisis. It’s a Climate Crisis.” That’s a convenient twofer. Never let…David Limbaugh -

Biden Adopted Vague ‘30 by 30’ Conservation Plan From ‘Radical Environmental Groups,’ Nebraska Governor Says
President Joe Biden’s proposed plan to conserve 30% of America’s land by 2030 lacks needed details, Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts says. The Biden administration has not provided details on how it intends to accomplish the goal, but enough is known about Biden’s “30 by 30” conservation initiative to know that it won’t serve the best…Virginia Allen -

Senate Republicans Block Debate of Biden Infrastructure Package
Senate Republicans rejected an effort Wednesday to begin debate on the bipartisan infrastructure deal endorsed by President Joe Biden, saying the vote came too early and the bill was not yet finalized.

Congress, Biden Appear Determined to Undermine Military Justice System
After years of trying unsuccessfully, efforts by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand to upend the current military justice system now appear to have the support needed to succeed. The New York Democrat’s bill—euphemistically misnamed the Military Justice Improvement and Increasing Prevention Act—would strip the authority from military commanders to enforce good order and discipline for those under…Thomas Spoehr -

The Costs of Biden’s Big Government
It is one of the unfortunate ironies coming out of the Biden administration that, with all the obsession about so-called equity, policies it is putting forth will only hurt the very low-income Americans it pretends to want to help. The Biden administration is growing government at a record pace. If what it wants is opportunity…Star Parker -

Glowing Vogue Profile of Jill Biden Is Publicity, Not News
So much of what people call “news” isn’t hard facts. There’s a less favorable word for it: publicity. When Democrats rule, news meets a dam, and publicity overflows. On June 29, ABC’s “Good Morning America” aired several minutes of this, swooning over Jill Biden and promoting a preposterously positive cover story in the August issue…Tim Graham -

Strike 3: Why Biden Commission Should Reject Court Packing
President Joe Biden’s Supreme Court commission is up and running, keeping alive the calls for court packing. This plan for a hostile takeover of the Supreme Court has been rejected not once but twice in American history. The commission can put it to rest for good. Court packing means expanding the number of positions on…Thomas Jipping -

Biden Administration Is Skewing Carbon Numbers to Push Regulations
The social cost of carbon is a climate economics construct used to quantify the damages associated with carbon dioxide emissions. The Biden administration wants to use the social cost of carbon in public policy to justify its regulatory agenda.

Biden Is Soft on the New Slavery
“We’re finally now getting to the point where we’re going to be addressing the original sin of this country, 400 years old,” candidate Joe Biden told Wisconsin voters in September 2020, “slavery and all the vestiges of it.” On his first day in office, President Biden signed an executive order that cited “the Civil War…Deroy Murdock -

2022 Budget: Early Signs Defense Is Not a Biden Administration Priority
When the Office of Management and Budget released its 2022 budget request, President Joe Biden stated, “Where we choose to invest speaks to what we value as a Nation.” On that basis, the Biden administration does not value United States armed forces. Biden’s budget reflects more interest in an unprecedented expansion of the federal government…Frederico Bartels -

Biden Administration Is Forcing Navy to Make False Choice
The executive branch showers the federal government with easy money. It seems odd, then, that the federal government is making the Department of Defense choose between a false set of budget options when investing in defense—especially the Navy and cybersecurity—yields high returns. Consider the following events that have taken place over the past three months:…Brent Sadler -

Biden Administration Uses Term ‘Birthing Person’ Instead of ‘Mother’
Joe Biden ran on an absurdly radical platform for a “moderate,” but it looks like he saved a lot of his truly crazy ideas for the White House. Just when Americans think his policies can’t get any more deranged, he unleashes a budget that cancels moms. In a bizarre attempt to transgender the English language,…Tony Perkins -

Biden Divides Us. Here Are 12 Principles That Can Unite Us.
Americans are woke. They woke up and realized President Joe Biden is no moderate. He is spearheading the most radical policies in modern history, policies that would transform this nation into an unrecognizable country—far less safe, more impoverished, and more unfree. Nevertheless, the vital issues of the day pull us together. Conservatives share a common…Charmaine Yoest -

Biden Administration Eyes Ending Discrimination Against Dead. (Don’t Put It Past Them.)
Editor’s note: The following is satire. Consider the wild success that the Biden administration has enjoyed in its unilateral modification of the term “sex” in federal anti-discrimination law to include “gender identity” (aka what someone might feel like on any given day). Now, President Joe Biden is reversing a rule inherited from his predecessor that…Paul J. Larkin
