    Biden’s Newest ‘Build Back Better’ Boondoggle Would Worsen Inflationary Squeeze on Middle America

    With inflation surging to 9.1% and averaging much higher in the rural heartland than in urban areas, now is not the time for the federal government to pour gasoline on the fire. Yet, as Democrats negotiate the newest iteration of their socialist nightmare—the so-called Build Back Better Act—that is exactly what they are planning to…

    At least 10 congressional Democrats, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., joined pro-abortion demonstrators Tuesday outside the Supreme Court less than a month after the justices overruled Roe v. Wade in a landmark decision.

    For Biden, Polls Are Probably Worse Than They Seem

    President Joe Biden has a miserable 33% job approval rating, according to the New York Times/Siena College poll, making him one of the least popular first-term presidents in history. Sixty-four percent of Democrats say they want another candidate in the 2024 presidential race. No modern president, as far as I can tell, has faced higher…

    After 18 Months of Biden, Have We Hit Bottom Yet?

    Next week will mark one and a half years since Joe Biden became president on Jan. 20, 2021. On July 20, every American should look within and ask: “Am I better off than I was 18 months ago?” To Biden’s credit, the unemployment rate has fallen from 6.4% when he took office to 3.6% in…

    Gavin Newsom’s Weird Idea of ‘Freedom’

    In a run-up to what is likely to be a 2024 presidential bid, California Gov. Gavin Newsom hit upon the bizarre idea of boasting in commercials that California is America’s true “free” state.

    ‘We Are Not Tacos’: Hispanic Journalists Reprimand Jill Biden Over Use of Mexican ‘Stereotype’

    An organization of Hispanic journalists blasted first lady Jill Biden after she claimed Hispanics were as “unique” as breakfast tacos during a Monday speech in San Antonio. “Using breakfast tacos to try to demonstrate the uniqueness of Latinos in San Antonio demonstrates a lack of cultural knowledge and sensitivity to the diversity of Latinos in the region,”…

    Law, ICE Are ‘Irrelevant’ to Biden Administration

    President Joe Biden has been functionally abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement from his first day in office.

    Biden Paints Himself as Savior of Pensions While 401(k)s Tank and Retirees Feel Heat From Inflation

    President Joe Biden visited an ironworkers union in Ohio Wednesday, attempting to claim credit for saving workers’ pensions.

    While running for president in 2020, Joe Biden famously tweeted that he’d own up to his mistakes. “It’s hard to believe this has to be said, but unlike this president [then-President Donald Trump], I’ll do my job and take responsibility.

    Gavin Newsom Just Dumped a Gallon of Kerosene on the Inflation Fire

    They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results. California Gov. Gavin Newsom seems ignorant of this principle. Study after study shows that the some $6 trillion in stimulus spending hurriedly passed during the COVID-19 pandemic contributed significantly to the 40-year, record high inflation we’re suffering today. What’s the…
