The Global Engagement Center, an office housed within the State Department and aiming to thwart disinformation and misinformation, has been forced by Congress to close up shop. It’s no mystery why; the taxpayer-backed GEC violated its mandate to work only overseas and devolved into a partisan enabler of speech suppression in the United States. Here’s how. Founded…
As the Biden administration winds to a close, the time has come to examine President Joe Biden’s record. Certain policy decisions stand out as colossal mistakes, while others are noteworthy for their extremism. The following are three policy areas where Biden administration extremism caused American voters who believed he would restore normalcy after the 2020…
THE CENTER SQUARE—President Joe Biden has nixed a federal union accountability website despite his administration’s promises that it would be back. Biden administration officials had previously said the site was simply being improved, but nearly all the accountability info from the site was removed and hasn’t returned. “Federal union executives have taken advantage of the…
It’s a typical morning over the holidays, the kids have been up since dawn, and you’re making a few pancakes on your gas stove. 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…
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…
DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Victor Davis Hanson, historian, commentator, and Hoover Institution senior fellow, said Thursday on his podcast that he believes all of President Joe Biden’s family members will be next in line to receive pardons. Since the president’s announcement Dec. 1 that he would pardon his son Hunter Biden of criminal charges, he has faced pushback…
The Obama Doctrine is as dead as Yahya Sinwar. And the world is better off in both cases. While the massacre of Oct. 7, 2023, was one of the most traumatic events in modern Jewish history, it’s obvious now that it was a massive, perhaps existential, blunder by the Islamic State as well as a…
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…
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…
The Biden administration withdrew a rule that would have forced schools receiving federal funds to allow boys to compete in girls' and women's sports, if they claim to identify as girls. The withdrawal comes one month before President-elect Donald Trump takes office, and in the context of multiple lawsuits against a previous rule change that…
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…
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…
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….
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…
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…
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…
DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—The top Democratic member of the House committee on the Chinese Communist Party, Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, urged the Biden administration Sunday on Fox News to be more “forthcoming” with information regarding multiple drone sightings on the East Coast, warning that the CCP could be accessing data through them. In early December, New…
Former President Barack Obama had long been rumored as the catalyst for the 2020 Joe Biden nomination—and thereafter played the whispering puppeteer behind the subsequent lost Biden administration years. As such, he and his coterie proved to be the virtual architects of the Biden administration, one of the most unpopular and failed presidencies in American…
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…
