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… -

How History Will View the Biden Years
When historians study the disaster that was the Biden administration, they will find many factors that contributed to the historic level of failure we are witnessing.

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… -

Sex-Change Surgeries for Kids: A-OK With Biden
The Biden administration recently sent a letter to the attorney general of each state, warning the top law enforcement officials that they could be violating civil rights law if they don’t comply with “gender-affirming care” procedures for children. But just what is this gender-affirming care promoted by President Joe Biden, and how does it affect… -

A key consumer price metric used by the government to measure inflation soared 8.5% over the past 12 months, the fastest pace of inflation since December 1981, the Labor Department announced Tuesday.

Stop Biden and the Democrats’ War on Charter Schools
Just as I predicted in August 2020, Joe Biden has declared war on school choice. When he ran for president, Biden told voters in Georgetown, South Carolina, in February 2020: “I am not a charter school fan because it takes away the options available and money for public schools.” An equally ungrammatical Biden said in Pittsburgh on… -

Lia Thomas Was Just the Beginning. Biden Administration Wants to Eliminate Women’s Sports.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the passage of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, the federal law prohibiting sex-based discrimination in any educational program that is federally funded either directly or indirectly. But in a painful twist of irony, that same rule is now on the chopping block, thanks to an… -

Media Collusion Defused Bombshell Story About Hunter and Joe Biden
About three weeks before the 2020 election, the New York Post published a bombshell, election-changing story about presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, that, if true, derailed Joe Biden’s claim to know nothing about his son’s multimillion-dollar influence peddling. The Post claimed: “Hunter Biden introduced his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to a top executive… -

5 Biden Transportation Potholes Making Motorists’ Lives Miserable
Just a few months ago, Washington celebrated the passage of a bloated infrastructure bill. Supporters trotted out tired claims about fixing “crumbling roads and bridges” using gobs of taxpayer money. Yet even if we assume a certain amount of waste, fraud, and abuse due to the problems inherent with federal involvement, Americans might reasonably expect… -

Biden Doubles Down on Radical ‘Gender-Affirming Care’ for Kids
Thursday, the final day of Women’s History Month, was dubbed the Transgender Day of Visibility by whatever star chamber makes up those sorts of things. Given the trans-saturated news, however, the day is about as necessary as calling for a Will Smith Day of Visibility on the morning after the Oscars. The fight between Florida… -

Recuse Yourself, Joe Biden
If we’re going to create transparently idiotic, partisan standards on the fly, they should be applied to everyone in government. If Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has an ethical obligation to recuse himself from all cases related to the Jan. 6 riots because his wife, Ginni, has opinions on the matter, as most Democrats now… -

Rep. Kevin Hern Offers GOP Alternative to Biden’s Tax-and-Spend Budget
President Joe Biden on Monday announced a proposed federal budget for fiscal year 2023 that includes a wish list of leftist policy proposals as well as an unprecedented tax on unrealized gains.

Biden’s Budget Lies
“Show me your budget, and I’ll tell you what you value.” When releasing his fiscal year 2023 budget proposal on Monday, President Joe Biden said this was something his father had told him.

Tilting at Windmills: How Biden’s Green New Deal Will Endanger Whales
Why are they called “right whales”? That’s a question one sailor asks in Patrick O’Brian’s seafaring “Master and Commander” series of novels. “Why, because they are right in every respect,” responded his companion, a 19th-century whaler. “ … they have the right whalebone, the best in the market—and the right oil, six or seven tons of it.

Biden Administration Has a ‘Momflation’ Problem
Inflation used to be an abstract economic concept that average Americans paid little attention to. It was a word used by economists on cable news. Now, Americans have been forced to become very familiar with the term and what it means for their personal finances. None more so than parents. The term “momflation” was coined… -

Biden Throttled US Energy Production When We Needed It Most
A capable presidential administration plans, anticipates, and implements strategies. An ineffective administration bounces haphazardly from crisis to crisis. It’s the difference between playing chess and playing pinball. President Joe Biden’s mismanagement of skyrocketing gas prices gives us a hint as to what game he’s playing. Gas prices, already high and rising due to supply chain… -

Anderson Cooper’s ‘60 Minutes’ Softball Infomercial for Pete Buttigieg
The long-running CBS News program “60 Minutes” has a manically split personality: Vicious attack dogs when Republicans are in power, but supportive infomercial producers under Democrats. Take March 13 for example, when Anderson Cooper hosted a promotional segment for Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and the “bipartisan infrastructure bill.” Buttigieg was touted as “40 years old,…
