Sen. Mike Lee’s Report Offers Scathing Critique of Biden’s Leftist Economic Policies
Although required by law to submit a budget and Economic Report of the President to Congress no later than the first Monday in February, President Joe Biden waited until March 28 to turn in his homework, a nearly two-month extension many students would envy. Now, in a scathing rebuttal Friday to Biden’s report on the… -

Rep. Gary Palmer Exposes Biden’s Failures on Economy, Health Care
Americans have had more than a year to experience President Joe Biden’s administration. If Biden’s slouching poll numbers are any indication, Americans aren’t thrilled with the president’s performance. High inflation featuring rising food and gas prices, missing baby formula, and a hyperfocus on race and gender ideology seemingly are beginning to grate on the public’s… -

Biden Administration to Force Schools to Adopt Radical Gender Policies. Here’s What You Need to Know.
For a brief moment last week, President Joe Biden’s administration appeared to be interested in what parents think about K-12 schools. Low student achievement coming out of the pandemic. High rates of depression among youth. School officials hiding information about students’ health from their parents. The administration seemed to be aware of these concerns when… -

Biden Abuses Executive Authority to Pursue His Environmental Agenda
Plagued by inflation, a projected upcoming Republican wave in the midterm elections, and high gas prices, President Joe Biden is desperately seeking a win on clean energy. To achieve that win, he has authorized the inappropriate use of the Defense Production Act— an egregious misuse of executive power. Last Monday, Biden announced that he authorized… -

The Biden Economy Shows the Folly of ‘Experts’
This week, the stock market took a turn into bear territory on the heels of yet another brutal monthly inflation report. With the Federal Reserve considering larger rate hikes in order to tamp down record inflation, the possibility of a near-term recession now looms quite large, despite the feeble protestations of Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen…. -

Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedian Cuddle With Biden
President Joe Biden hasn’t granted an interview to a news outlet since Feb. 10. Some might energetically assert these four months of avoidance ended on June 8, when Biden sat down on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” But absolutely no one should consider this 24-minute sponge bath a news interview. It sounded more like a friendly… -

Biden Administration Holds School Lunches Hostage to Radical Transgender Agenda
There’s been plenty of sturm und drang over the upcoming Title IX rule change from the Department of Education—one that will expand the prohibition against “sex” discrimination under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 to “gender identity” discrimination. And the sturm und drang is well warranted. Such a change—anticipated for release this month—will,… -

Biden Silent on Slaughter of Dozens at Church in Nigeria
An unknown number of gunmen killed as many as 50 worshipers Sunday during Mass at St. Francis Catholic Church in Ondo, a state in southwestern Nigeria. As of Wednesday morning, no group had claimed responsibility for the massacre, nor had President Joe Biden, himself a Catholic, made public remarks on it. The White House did… -

Yes, Biden Deserves Blame for Inflation
President Joe Biden has written an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal detailing his plan to fight inflation. Well, perhaps the word “detailing” is too generous. The preponderance of the column features Biden taking credit for economic growth that can be attributed to the reopening of the economy that was shuttered by the governing class… -

Biden Administration Remains Complacent About Iran Despite Escalating Threats
The Biden administration’s dogged determination to revive the dangerously flawed nuclear deal with Iran has not been shaken by a series of attacks launched by Iran’s Islamist dictatorship against the U.S. and its allies. Far from it. The administration already would have rejoined the nuclear misdeal if not for Tehran’s insistence that Washington must also… -

Biden’s ‘Rolling Calamities’ Aren’t His Fault?
As we march into June, the midterm prospects for the Democrats look very bleak. President Joe Biden’s approval ratings are often under 40%, below Donald Trump’s numbers at this point, when the TV soothsayers were always predicting “the walls were closing in” on Trump. His presidency would surely self-destruct in five seconds. It’s rough enough… -

There’s Nothing Equitable in Union Pension Bailouts Unmentioned in Biden’s ‘Equity’ Report
It goes without saying that bailing out bad actors is not equitable. So, it’s no wonder the Biden administration left any mention of a nearly $100 billion selective bailout of private union pension plans out of its “Advancing Equity Through the American Rescue Plan” report. To date, 37 multiemployer pension plans have requested between $4… -

House Republicans will reactivate investigations into the relationship between hostile foreign governments and activists who oppose American energy production if their party regains a congressional majority in November, congressional sources and policy analysts say.

Biden’s Gushy Lunch With Thomas Friedman
President Joe Biden’s minders have kept their man away from granting interviews—with reporters who overwhelmingly voted for him. Republicans went on Twitter to mock Biden when he reached 100 days since his last interview on Feb. 10. This is a pattern. Biden sat for just 28 interviews during his first year in office, compared with… -

Biden’s Buffalo Speech Was Speech of Indecent Man
If an American president has ever given as mendacious, anti-American, and hate-filled a speech as President Joe Biden did in Buffalo, New York, last week, I am not familiar with it. Nor are you.

With Beijing Breathing Down Taiwan’s Neck, What Signal Did Biden Just Send?
In Japan on Monday, President Joe Biden seemingly departed from previous American policy regarding Taiwan, announcing that the U.S. would militarily defend the tiny island nation if China were to invade.
