    There’s a Cold War Brewing Between Biden and Everyday Americans

    Last June, the Biden administration unveiled its National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism. Despite its anodyne-sounding name, the national strategy was anything but anodyne. The pamphlet represented the logical culmination of the left’s cynical use of the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot as a means of ginning up large-scale, nationwide anti-Republican/anti-Trump voter sentiment. The…

    As Inflation Soars, Biden Turns to Failed Policies of the Past

    In 1974, when the inflation rate was 11.04%, President Gerald Ford came up with a slogan: “Whip Inflation Now.” WIN buttons were manufactured by the millions and people were asked to wear them to demonstrate grassroots solidarity to combat the economic scourge. The campaign was later described by Martin Crutsinger in a The Associated Press…

    Biden Cancels More Oil and Gas Leases as Fuel Prices Skyrocket

    The Biden administration canceled all three remaining offshore oil and gas lease sales late Wednesday as gasoline prices hit an all-time high. The Department of the Interior, which oversees all lease sales on federal lands and waters, said a sale spanning 1.09 million acres in the Cook Inlet in Alaska was canceled due to a “lack of…

    Left’s Intimidation of Justices Is Illegal, but Will Biden Enforce the Law?

    Irony doesn’t begin to explain why pro-choice activists chose Mother’s Day weekend to picket the homes of Justice Brett Kavanaugh and Chief Justice John Roberts, who appear ready to overturn Roe v. Wade. In an age when there appear to be fewer consequences for violating moral or statutory laws, demonstrators and protesters outside the Supreme Court…

    The Last Thing We Need Is Biden’s Thought Police Bureau

    President Joe Biden’s bad idea factory just belched out a doozy: The Disinformation Governance Board rolled off the assembly line to the sound of shrieks and Klaxons—and deservedly so. The last thing American citizens need is a taxpayer-funded thought police bureau that monitors public utterances, condemns them as “disinformation,” and then flags them for dutiful…

    ‘Fact-Checkers’ Bored by Biden’s Outbursts

    President Joe Biden can say the craziest things, and we know that the liberal “fact-checkers” are very likely to look the other way. Some of these fact-mangling gaffes might be called “senior moments.” At a Lockheed Martin plant in Alabama on May 3, Biden suggested we were sending missiles to Russia. “Before Russia attacked, we…

    EXCLUSIVE: Team Biden Prescribes Use of Singular ‘They’ in ‘Gender Inclusive’ Policy

    A division of the Labor Department charged with overseeing benefits for American workers is telling employees to use the words “they,” “them,” and “their” to describe individuals as part of “Gender-Inclusive Language Policy,” The Daily Signal has learned. “The policy encourages the use of the singular ‘they’ and its variations where applicable, encourages the use…

    Where’s Biden on Growing Nuclear Threats?

    As Russia’s unjust war on Ukraine slogs on, the world keeps spinning, including unwelcome nuclear saber-rattling from a litany of U.S. foes that has reached a deeply unsettling din worth noting. Understandably, the conflict in Ukraine is drawing a significant amount of foreign policy attention these days. Russia’s aggression against Ukraine is the largest conflict…

    Biden’s Plan for ‘Climate Friendly’ Military Vehicles: Another Bad Idea for Defense

    Earth Day often has provided presidents with a platform to propose drastic interventionist policies in the name of combating climate change.   From spending billions of federal dollars on wildlife protection in swing states to pushing for adoption of the Paris Agreement on climate change, these policies are usually mere political grandstanding. Americans can only hope…

    Biden Takes Deserved Heat for ‘Disinformation’ Board and Its Politically Charged Director

    President Joe Biden’s homeland security chief last week announced his agency’s new “Disinformation Governance Board” to tell Americans what is true and false. In a welcome development, the Biden administration is increasingly frustrated as many observers ridicule the move and refer to the board as an Orwellian “Ministry of Truth.” “The spread of disinformation can…

    Biden’s Ministry of Truth

    A federal speech czar? Just as the Founders imagined it, no doubt. Earlier this week, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told Congress that his agency is creating a “Disinformation Governance Board” to combat “misinformation” coming from Russia as we near this year’s midterm elections. The Biden administration’s new Committee on Public Information will be led…

    Biden’s Failures Highlight How Federal Government Is Too Big

    Candidate Joe Biden promised to solve our problems and restore faith in the American government. Today, he is one of the least popular presidents in history. And CNN’s John Harwood, perhaps the most sycophantic flunky of the Democratic Party not on the company payroll, says that Biden is a victim of circumstances, facing problems that…

    Biden Administration Should Lose Its Mask Mandate Appeal

    The Justice Department has filed what hopefully is a doomed appeal of a federal judge’s order Monday vacating the federal mask mandate for airline, train, and bus passengers.  District Court Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle of Florida ended what had become a severe (and unjustified) annoyance to travelers, judging by the cheers that erupted on flights…

    Tidal Wave Nears Border, but Team Biden Goes Full Steam Ahead

    A disaster is looming. President Joe Biden appears to be going full steam ahead on ending Title 42. This is the health policy, created in the 1940s and implemented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under President Donald Trump, that allowed the swift deportation of illegal immigrants during the pandemic to prevent the…

    Record Taxes Aren’t Enough for Biden

    As Americans filed their federal tax returns this Monday, President Joe Biden’s White House put out a statement promoting his plan to increase taxes. It adopted Biden’s typical class-war rhetoric, claiming to protect the incomes of middle-class Americans, while increasing taxes on corporations and the “rich.” “President Biden’s plan would give tax relief to tens…

    Biden Administration Ducks Credit for Advancing Drilling for Oil, Gas

    The Biden administration is already shying away from its decision to restart the much-delayed federal oil and gas leasing program, saying its hands are tied. The Department of the Interior announced that it would begin holding fossil fuel lease sales under the program Friday, but reduced the amount of land available for drilling by 80% and…

The letter, sent Thursday, is led by Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, and co-signed by 19 other Republican…

    Biden Fuels Soaring Inflation and Media Does Its Part to Gaslight Us About It

    The United States is suffering through its highest level of inflation in 40 years and the White House and its media allies can’t stop peddling false narratives to help the president dodge blame. Numbers released April 12 by the Labor Department paint a grim picture of U.S. inflation that rose 8.5% in the past year….

    Biden Plan to Tame Gas Prices Will Affect Few Service Stations, Save 10 Cents for Some

    President Joe Biden’s action this week to address record-high gasoline prices will have a bare minimum impact on consumers, saving some American families a few dollars a month. Biden issued an emergency waiver Tuesday allowing gas stations nationwide to sell gasoline with 15% ethanol, pausing a federal environmental regulation that prohibits the corn-based biofuel mixture during the…
