The Daily Signal reports on Joe Biden’s current political role, public statements, and party influence, with updates on investigations, policy advocacy, and his standing among Democrats.
FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—The Biden administration is pressuring Sierra Leone to pass an unpopular pro-abortion bill before President-elect Donald Trump takes office, a former senior U.S. government official who has worked in the West African region told The Daily Signal. It is common knowledge among nongovernmental organizations, or NGOs, in Sierra Leone that a…
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…
President Joe Biden released a list of 39 pardons and 1,499 commutations of sentences Thursday, setting the record for presidential clemencies in a single day. The White House described the majority of those pardoned as having committed “nonviolent drug offenses.” The list did not go into detail on specific crimes. The pardon list includes Mikhail…
WASHINGTON—“Washington is still operating as if it’s March 2020. The headquarters of most agencies remain largely abandoned,” Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, wrote in a report released Thursday that paints a dystopian picture of the federal workforce inside the vaunted beltway. It’s been nearly five years since COVID-19 knocked on America’s door. Most schools and businesses opened…
President Joe Biden is the authoritarian threat the Left claims Donald Trump will be. Just look at his pardon of Hunter Biden. Over Thanksgiving weekend, Biden gave his son, who was facing sentencing for gun and tax charges, a “get out of jail free” card. Joe Biden didn’t just pardon Hunter Biden for those crimes….
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…
Imagine seeing this on tomorrow’s front page: Biden Announces New ‘Give It to Gaza’ Parole Program: 1,000 Palestinians per Week to Fly in From Designated Middle East Airports to Chicago, Detroit, and New York. That’s not a real headline—but it could be. “They can’t do that!” you say? Not so. Previous presidents realized they were…
DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Fox Business host Charles Payne called out the alleged “huge double standard” of President Joe Biden’s family Tuesday by revealing that his brother, who struggles with a crack addiction, is currently serving a jail sentence. Payne said his brother, who is getting out of jail on Friday, is likely one of the…
DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—A group of 24 veterans organizations signed a letter slamming the Department of Veteran Affairs under Secretary Denis McDonough’s leadership for allegedly stonewalling veterans’ access to timely medical care when the VA bureaucracy fails to meet their needs. The letter, which was sent Monday and obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller News Foundation, accused…
With his presidency ending in a few weeks, Joe Biden’s legacy is only getting messier. For many Democrats, he’s the man to blame for returning Donald Trump to the White House. If only Biden hadn’t selfishly run for reelection, the story goes, Kamala Harris would have had time to mount a better campaign—or maybe the…
A presidential pardon notwithstanding, the Biden family may yet face accountability from Congress and the executive branch, government watchdog groups say. In fact, President Joe Biden’s blanket pardon of son Hunter Biden could provide more leverage for Congress to investigate other Biden family members, said Mike Davis, founder of the Article III Project, a conservative legal…
Rep. Adam Schiff once proposed legislation to scrutinize presidential pardons of family members, but he and his office are thus far silent on President Joe Biden’s Sunday night pardon of son Hunter Biden. Schiff, D-Calif., has not commented publicly on the matter, and his office has not responded to phone and email inquiries from The…
President Joe Biden just tacitly acknowledged what conservatives have long suspected—that Hunter Biden may be guilty of far more than just lying on a gun-registration form and cheating on his taxes. On Sunday, Biden issued a “full and unconditional pardon” to his son for “those offenses against the United States which he has committed or…
DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—President Joe Biden and White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on several occasions that Biden would not issue a pardon for his son, Hunter, prior to announcing that he had reversed his position on Sunday. Biden said in a statement released Sunday that he issued the pardon because Hunter had been “singled out” due to…
During the evening of Dec. 1, when the media had effectively closed shop for the night and everyone was engaged in some quotidian Sunday-night activity—preparing for the upcoming work week, watching the San Francisco 49ers play the Buffalo Bills, doing some online holiday shopping, or whatever—President Joe Biden was busily engaged in the exercise of…
President Joe Biden issued a pardon to his son, Hunter Biden, the White House announced Sunday evening. The president claimed that the charges against his son were brought selectively and unfairly. President-elect Donald Trump responded to the pardon later Sunday night. “Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter,” Biden said. “From the day…
DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—The Biden-Harris Department of Justice wants to place a gag order on the Texas surgeon indicted for blowing the whistle on a hospital performing sex changes on minors. The DOJ argued Wednesday that Dr. Eithan Haim’s discussion of his case on X created “a substantial likelihood of prejudicing the Government, further tainting the jury…
President Joe Biden met last week for the third time with Chinese President Xi Jinping—the leader of a regime Biden’s own administration has repeatedly declared is engaging in genocide. No White House statement about any of these three meetings has indicated that Biden specifically made this genocide an issue with Xi. The day before Biden…
THE DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Senate Democrats are pushing to confirm more than two dozen of President Joe Biden’s remaining judicial nominees during their final weeks in the majority, including several with controversial records. The Senate has already confirmed four judges during the lame duck session: Judge Mustafa Taher Kasubha to the District of Oregon, Judge Embry Kidd to the…
President Joe Biden has had a good run of successful judicial appointments. His total of 214 ranks third on the list of most appointments in a single presidential term. At 44, current judicial vacancies under Biden are below five of his six predecessors. But the American people just handed both parts of the appointment process—the…
