    Biden Border Crisis: Incompetence or Part of President’s Plan?

    There is an unprecedented flood of illegal crossings at the U.S. southern border. Those in the media not obsessed with canine evictions at the White House or the Meghan-Harry interview are starting to ask if this is President Joe Biden’s border crisis.   But that’s the wrong question. Clearly, the president “owns” this crisis. His executive orders and his administration’s public…

    The Many Ways Biden Has Kicked Culture Wars Into Overdrive

    The Washington Post on March 7 published a column in which E.J. Dionne Jr. contended that President Joe Biden is “rolling back the politics of culture wars.” If you’ve read even a fraction of Biden’s executive orders, memoranda, and proclamations, Dionne’s assertion will strike you as bizarrely divorced from reality. If you expected Dionne, a…

    Biden’s General Amnesia Gets Spiked

    At a March 8 White House event to announce the nomination of two female generals to lead U.S. military combatant commands, President Joe Biden seemed to forget the name of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and where Austin works. Since the theme of the president’s mental acuity is still associated with memes of former President Donald…

    Biden Prepares to Strip College Students of Due Process Rights

    It’s worth reminding people that if President Joe Biden were compelled to live by the standards he intends to institute for college students accused of sexual misconduct, he would be presumed guilty of rape, denied any legitimate opportunity to refute Tara Reade’s charges and tossed from office in disgrace. The New York Times reports this…

    12 States Sue Biden Administration Over Climate Policies, ‘Massive Expansion’ of Regulations

    A group of Republican state attorneys general alleged in a federal lawsuit filed Monday that President Joe Biden’s climate policies are a major overreach and could damage their states’ economies. The 12-state coalition said Biden overstepped his constitutional authority by declaring there were “social costs” of continued greenhouse gas emissions in a Jan. 20 executive order. The lawsuit,…

    Biden’s ‘Equity’ Push Is Actually a Push for Unequal Treatment

    Unity is not just an empty slogan; it truly is something all Americans should be striving to achieve. Many Americans still share virtues, such as attachment to hard work and devotion to principles such as equality, around which a president can create national harmony. We can’t achieve unity, however, by refusing to deal squarely with…

    Biden Must Stand Up to Iran’s Proxy Extortion Strategy

    Iran has escalated its coercive pressure campaign on the Biden administration on two major fronts—the standoff over Iran’s nuclear program and terrorist attacks by Iranian proxies. On the nuclear front, Iran steadily has ratcheted up uranium enrichment to exceed the quantitative and qualitative limits set by the flawed 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which the U.S….

    Biden Virtue Signaling on Keystone XL Pipeline Can Actually Harm Environment

    On the campaign trail, then-presidential candidate Joe Biden promised to kill the Keystone XL pipeline, which would transport 830,000 barrels of crude oil each day from Alberta, Canada, to Nebraska, a pledge met with elation from environmental activists across the globe. So no one was surprised when, on his first day in office, Biden followed…

    Biden’s Sanctuary Policies Leave No Safe Haven for Victims, Federal Agents

    On his first day in the Oval Office, President Joe Biden signed a record 17 executive orders, many of them voiding commonsense policies enacted during the Trump administration.   One of the worst—and most dangerous—was his “Revision of Civil Immigration Enforcement Policies and Priorities.” A more apt title would be “Providing Sanctuary for Criminal Aliens.”  Biden’s short order revoked former President Donald…

    Number of Illegal Border Crossings Now 6 Times What Obama Team Considered ‘Crisis’

    There is a catastrophic crisis that could add another quarter of a million to the population of illegal aliens in this country in less than a year. According to former officials in the Obama administration, the standard for a border crisis was 1,000 attempted crossings a day. Who was on the team that set that…

    Biden Proposes to Expand Obamacare

    The American Recovery Act, the Biden administration’s $1.9 trillion response to the COVID-19 pandemic, includes a $40 billion down payment on the president’s plan to “build on Obamacare.” The bill’s expansion of Obamacare—also known as the Affordable Care Act—has nothing to do with the pandemic, would do little to increase health insurance coverage, and may create…

    ‘Fact-Checking’ Powers Leave Biden and Cuomo Unchecked

    CNN host Brian Stelter asked a big question on his Sunday show: “What’s the future of fact-checking now that [Donald] Trump is out of office?” He proclaimed it was “fraught with complexity, and allegations of bias and shouts of false equivalence.” This is not complex. In 2016, a Rasmussen poll found that only 29% of…

    Fact-Checkers Heart Joe Biden

    Appearing at a friendly CNN town hall event this week, President Joe Biden dropped a string of untruths on issues both large and small. One of the president’s most egregious falsehoods was the claim that “we didn’t have [the vaccine] when we came into office.” The first shot was administered back on Dec. 14, 2020….

On Feb. 12, Jill Biden tweeted on her @FLOTUS Twitter account a photo of herself, with a scrunchie in her hair, at a Washington, D.C., bakery picking up “Valentine’s treats for the weekend.” “Don’t tell Joe,” she joked.

    The Biden-Made Border Crisis

    The border crisis isn’t coming; it’s already here. It is here because the left is actively encouraging, incentivizing, and facilitating it. Team Biden, while on the campaign trail and now firmly ensconced in the White House, put out the message loud and clear to those south of the border: Come over illegally, and we will release you,…

    When setting goals, it’s important not to lower the bar. Yet that’s exactly what the Biden administration has done with school reopenings.
