    New Report Reveals Biden Administration Knows Its Policies Increase Energy Costs for Americans

    Americans know all too well that soaring energy prices have raised costs throughout the economy. What isn’t as obvious is that the Biden administration knows it is blocking solutions that could decrease those costs. Such an embarrassing admission likely won’t come in President Joe Biden’s next press conference. But it can be found buried in a 500-page report…

    Like FDR’s New Deal, Biden’s Tax-and-Spend Policies Have Been an Economic Wrecking Ball

    The economic gaslighting coming out of Washington is astounding, even by D.C. standards. Former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe recently praised the Biden administration for its handling of the economy, ignoring failures on inflation, boondoggle spending, and energy taxes. McAuliffe even compared fellow Democrat President Joe Biden’s failed American Rescue Plan to former President Franklin D….

    Iranian Americans Assail Biden Administration’s Failed Iran Policy

    Biden Plays the Old Ugly American

    The Left used to accuse imperialist, resource-hungry Yanquis in Washington of cutting selfish deals with illiberal dictatorships in Latin America to grab their natural resources. How odd then that President Joe Biden is now begging the despicable Maduro regime in Venezuela—corrupt, murderous, and anti-American—to produce more of its oil solely to send northward to America….

    How Biden and IRS Unlawfully Expanded Obamacare

    President Joe Biden announced Tuesday that his administration had expanded Obamacare. Congress didn’t legislate the expansion. The Internal Revenue Service did. The IRS scrapped an Obama administration regulation that faithfully implemented the Obamacare statute, officially called the Affordable Care Act, which became law in 2010 on a party-line vote. At issue is whether dependents of…

    Turns Out Biden’s Empowering of OPEC Was a Really Bad Idea

    If the average price of a gallon of gas falls by a penny, White House chief of staff Ron Klain will take to Twitter and credit the Biden administration. In the last few months, due to lower demand and other factors, consumers have experienced a reprieve from historic highs. Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre points out…

    Biden’s Energy Crisis

    The West is experiencing its third energy crisis. The first, in 1973, was caused by the near-quintupling of the price of crude oil by Gulf oil producers in response to America’s support for Israel in the Yom Kippur war. Their action brought an end to what the French call the Trente Glorieuses—the unprecedented post-World War…

    ‘Heroic Work’: Biden Congratulates Coast Guard Hero He’s Trying to Fire

    As the death toll from Hurricane Ian soars past 100, heroes like U.S. Coast Guard Aviation Survival Technician Second Class Zach Loesch are one reason it isn’t higher. Loesch kicked through a wall to rescue a 94-year-old disabled woman and her husband, hoisting them—and her wheelchair—into a helicopter amid high winds. You know, the sort of feats they…

    Biden’s Bumbling and Stumbling Could Start World War III

    Conservative political pundits love to air videos of Old Joe’s erratic, often unintelligible remarks. There are sure to be “replays” of many of these in campaign commercials during the nonstop run-up to the 2024 elections. President Joe Biden’s uncertain, dithering, wrong-headed decisions and outright lies on everything from the COVID-19 pandemic to the catastrophe on…

    Biden Should Hold Iran’s Regime Accountable for Repression

    Widespread protests continue to erupt in Iran following the Sept. 16 death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman who was beaten fatally by Iran’s morality police after being arrested on charges of wearing clothing that violated a strict Islamic dress code.

    Biden USAID’s Radical Gender Policy Is Exporting Cultural Colonialism

    The leftist ideologues at the Biden administration’s foreign aid agency have just drafted a new policy on gender. The U.S. Agency for International Development is supposed to use U.S. foreign assistance funds to “advance a free, peaceful, and prosperous world.” Its stated goals—saving lives, reducing poverty, and helping people progress beyond the need for assistance—are…

    Republicans Must Fight Continuing Resolution Funding for Third Year of Biden-Pelosi Priorities

    Conservatives shouldn’t help President Joe Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer fund a government that is destroying the safety of our families, the future of our children, and the strength of our economy. From open borders and student debt amnesty to skyrocketing inflation, climate radicalism, and our public education system,…

    With a Border This Unsecure, Why Wouldn’t Biden Welcome Thousands of Unvetted Afghan Refugees? 

    The Biden administration has failed significantly in bringing Afghan evacuees into the country after the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.    According to a new inspector general’s report from the Department of Homeland Security, the administration had no contingency plans to support emergency operations, no proper vetting procedures for refugees, and no standardized policies.    Because of…

    Biden’s Increasingly Totalitarian Behavior

    “He’s so nice!”  A key reason that Joe Biden occupies the White House is that too many voters considered him a nice guy. “It would be fun to have a beer with Grandpa Lunchbucket!” Or so the thinking went. Whatever his ideas, Biden would be so much warmer than Mean Mr. Marmalade, Donald J. Trump.    So,…

    Republicans Can Ensure Biden Follows Law and $130B in Spending Cuts Happen by Year-end

    President Joe Biden has gone on a massive spending binge, racking up trillions in debt and flouting budgetary rules along the way. It has hit American families squarely in the wallet, spiking inflation to 8.3% in August, a rate not previously seen since 1982. Fortunately, as my new report from The Heritage Foundation describes, Congress…
