    Forget Biden and Big Tech. We’re Supposed to Fear ‘Trump’s Media Censorship Arsenal’

    Point and laugh at The Hollywood Reporter. After four years of Team Biden pressuring Big Tech to crush dissent on social media, not to mention Team Biden pressuring the news media to crush any word of President Joe Biden's mental decline, they're going to warn the world about Donald Trump and censorship. The silly headline…

    Biden’s Partisan US Attorney in DC Was Never ‘Newsworthy’

    He held an important position—U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia—but Matthew Graves has been nearly invisible in the national media over the last four years as a Joe Biden appointee. They didn’t seriously cover what he’s done, and what he’s failed to do. What he’s done is hyperactively prosecute Jan. 6 protesters—whether violent or…

    Biden Boasts of ‘Most Demographically Diverse’ Judges in History

    With just 18 days left in his presidency, Joe Biden did a victory lap during a White House ceremony Thursday after appointing one more federal judge than his predecessor, Donald Trump.  Biden will be leaving office on Jan. 20 with the Senate having confirmed 235 of his judicial nominees. That’s compared to the 234 that…

    Obama Took Away Your Light Bulbs. Now, Biden Wants Your Appliances.

When they’ve finished eating, you want to pop those dirty dishes in the dishwasher. Sounds simple, and now it is. But thanks to President Joe Biden, your gas stove and your…

    Unpardonable: Biden Grants Mass Clemency to Death Row Inmates in Last Gasp of Failed Presidency

    In the waning days of a crumbling presidency that never really was, President Joe Biden—or whatever Biden-like facsimile is signing official documents these days—decided to finish out his term with one final blast of outrageous, yet cynical, wokery. Biden wasn’t content just to pardon his deadbeat son, Hunter, or hand out executive clemencies to more…

    Biden, the Invisible President, Lies Without Consequence

    Joe Biden may still hold the office of president of the United States, but the media are treating him like he’s anything but a newsmaker. For much of Biden’s presidency, reporters were much more energized to cover the apparent menace of Donald Trump than agitate the officials that were always hiding Biden. Now he seems…

    Who Can Trust White House Reporters Who Hid Biden’s Infirmity?

    Even after The Wall Street Journal published a four-byline bombshell detailing how President Joe Biden’s staff energetically hid his ongoing cognitive decline from the public, there wasn’t a single question at the White House briefing. No reporters demanded answers about how they were misled, or complained they were pressured into silence. They mustered that umbrage…

    Quiet Quitting: Joe Biden’s Disappearing Presidency

    The Wall Street Journal ran a story Thursday under the banner “How the White House Functioned With a Diminished Biden in Charge.” Tuesday’s New York Times story “A Weary Biden Heads For the Exit” told a similar tale, as departing staffers have starting spilling the beans. If this were a game of “Tell me something…

    Blame Biden for Drone Hysteria

    New Jersey is now subject to nonstop and often sensational civilian reports of swarms of nocturnal drones crossing city skies and violating the airspace of airports and military bases. Terrified thousands demand to know what these drones are doing and to whom they belong. In response, the Biden administration had initially kept mum. Then, under…

    See How Easy Biden Made It for Cartels and Traffickers: My Trip to the Border in Pictures

    Earlier this month, I descended upon the southern Arizona city of Tucson and then drove to the border town of Sierra Vista in Cochise County, one hour south of the city. The path to Sierra Vista is covered by the arid, venomous desert, mostly unconquered and home to man’s natural enemies, the snake and scorpion….

    Biden Policies Slowed America’s Wireless Internet Expansion to Dial-Up Speed

    It’s always hilarious when people want government to do stuff. Because not only is government awful at everything, it is excruciatingly slow at being awful at everything. People want government to continue wasting hundreds of billions of dollars connecting us to the internet when the government already acknowledged a decade ago that everyone was already…

    ‘Horrible Ordeal’: Father of 11 Targeted by Biden DOJ Urges Repeal of FACE Act

    Paul Vaughn, a Christian father of 11 convicted under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act for praying outside an abortion clinic, testified Wednesday that the weaponization of the U.S. Justice Department against pro-lifers is more than a catchphrase to his family. It’s their life, he said. “Since my arrest, I’ve been restricted to…

    Unsurprisingly, Democrats Call on Biden to Break the Law Before Leaving Office

    The Equal Rights Amendment is dead. Not, as Miracle Max put it in “The Princess Bride,” “mostly dead,” but “all dead.” ERA advocates, however, just won’t let it rest in peace. Forty-six Senate Democrats have written President Joe Biden, asking that he help perpetuate the ERA myth even as he leaves office, requesting that he…

    Joe Biden’s Work-From-Home Bureaucracy

    WASHINGTON—“Washington is still operating as if it’s March 2020. The headquarters of most agencies remain largely abandoned,” Sen.

    Biden the Tyrant

    President Joe Biden is the authoritarian threat the Left claims Donald Trump will be. Just look at his pardon of Hunter Biden.

    The Biden Crime Family Is Above the Law

    President Joe Biden is right about one thing. His son Hunter Biden has always been “treated differently.” If Hunter Biden had a different last name, he would never have been able to launch a career in corrupt influence peddling or launder millions through his “art” or write a self-serving memoir about crack-fueled whoremongering or dump…
