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…Terence Jeffrey -

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…Cal Thomas -

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.

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.

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…David Harsanyi -

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…Victor Davis Hanson -

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…Tim Graham -

Biden Sets Everything on Fire
Joe Biden is the luckiest man to ever assume the presidency. He succeeded an unpopular figure.

Biden’s ‘Infrastructure’ Plan Largely About Leftist Goals, Not Roads and Bridges

Biden vs. Scott
The contrast between President Joe Biden’s first address to Congress last Wednesday night and the Republican response delivered by Sen.
