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… -

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… -

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… -

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. The administration recently invited the public to comment on the Interagency Working Group’s interim technical support document… -

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… -

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… -

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:… -

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,… -

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… -

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… -

Could Biden IRS Expansion Plan Signal Return to Politicization?
Given the Internal Revenue Service’s history of politicization, conservatives are expressing concern about the potential for abuse from President Joe Biden’s proposed doubling of the number of IRS agents. A massive information leak of private tax data has only exacerbated those concerns. Ahead of IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig’s testimony before a Senate committee Tuesday, ProPublica,… -

Biden Plans to Reduce the Deficit—in 2030
Americans, President Joe Biden’s budget proposal suggests, should not worry that he plans to significantly increase federal deficits over the next eight years. Why? Because he intends to begin reducing them—but not eliminating them—nine years from now. Of course, even if the now 78-year-old Biden were to run for reelection in 2024 and win the… -

Biden’s Tulsa Speech Continues the ‘Can’t Do’ Narrative
President Joe Biden has pledged to “help narrow the racial wealth gap and reinvest in communities that have been left behind by failed policies.” He used the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre in Greenwood, a thriving African American community ravaged by a racist mob in 1921, as the occasion to promise more federal… -

Biden Buries Bad News of a Bloated, Reckless Budget and Hopes You Won’t Notice
When there’s bad news to be released in Washington, a tried-and-true tactic is to dump it on a Friday afternoon. If it’s really bad news, then make sure to release it before a long holiday weekend. President Joe Biden followed this strategy, releasing his budget proposal on the Friday afternoon before the Memorial Day holiday…. -

Breaking Down Biden’s Proposed ‘Ghost Gun’ Rules
When President Joe Biden announced a plan in mid-February to “tackle gun violence,” he said he would direct the Justice Department to issue new regulations for so-called ghost guns.

Biden’s Family Leave Plan a Permanent Burden for Temporary Problem
If you’re a politician peddling big new government programs for which there is little need but hefty price tags, you need a clever marketing strategy.

19 States’ AGs Urge Biden to Reinstate Keystone After Colonial Pipeline Hack Causes Mass Gas Shortages
A 19-state coalition urged President Joe Biden to reinstate the Keystone XL pipeline and reverse his energy policies because of the recent gas shortages.

Biden Off to a Disastrous Start
Presidents aren’t supreme beings imbued with the power to dictate economic conditions, pandemics or international events. We give them far too much credit and blame for the vagaries of the world. That said, there are some things that presidents do have the power to influence. The location of MLB’s All-Star Game, for instance, is not… -

Biden Administration Is Mocking Ancient Wisdom
Human nature stays the same across time and space. That is why there used to be predictable political, economic, and social behavior that all countries understood. The supply of money governs inflation. Print it without either greater productivity or more goods and services, and the currency cheapens. Yet America apparently rejects that primordial truism. The… -

Team Biden’s Rigid Control of the Press
Everyone knew instinctively that the Biden White House would get enormous cooperation and positive media coverage from the “news” media, given that it follows the alleged democracy-darkening Donald Trump days. But Team Biden’s control of the narrative can look more like a stranglehold. On May 10, Politico revealed that “If you’ve read a quote from…
