    Biden’s Unprecedented Attack on the Constitution

    Joe Biden certainly isn’t the first president to violate his oath of office, but he might be the first in memory to openly brag about doing it. As Biden announced a new “eviction moratorium,” he informed Americans that the “bulk of constitutional scholars” would say the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention eviction moratorium is…

    Biden Must Not Squander the Cuban Moment

    The demonstrations that shook Cuba on July 11 will soon be a month old. Since then, a Carthaginian peace has descended on the unhappy island, with mass arrests, show trials, and disappearances having the desired effect of suppressing further demonstrations. The Biden administration meanwhile remains paralyzed, with self-doubt appearing to sap its confidence. Which means…

    Don’t Be Fooled by Charm Campaign: Biden Administration Must Hold Line on Huawei

    The Chinese telecom giant Huawei has initiated a charm campaign in recent weeks to convince the Biden administration to be more accommodating toward the company. To safeguard American national security, the Biden administration must not take the bait. Among Huawei’s increased lobbying activities in the U.S. is the hiring of longtime Washington lobbyist Tony Podesta….

    Truck-Drivin’ Joe: Biden Brings Penchant for Fabrication to Presidency

    To hear President Joe Biden tell it, he is everyman. Almost literally. He’s a truck-driving, long-ball-hitting outlaw who is uncommonly brave, marched for civil rights, and was an accomplished scholar in law school. It’s an impressive resume, especially for a politician who has spent most of the past 48 years in Washington, D.C. And almost…

    Elizabeth Warren to Teen Vogue: Abortion Is About ‘Functioning of Our Democracy’

    Abortion is about “the functioning of our democracy,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., told Teen Vogue in an interview published Monday. Warren told the teen publication that “voting and access to abortion are basic” rights that are “about the functioning of our democracy and about the protection of personal autonomy.” “Protection of the vote means your voice gets…

    Border Crisis Is No Accident. It’s Biden Making Good on Campaign Promises.

    If you wanted to make up something to depict President Joe Biden as the cause of the border crisis, you might invent a scenario in which he was just turning illegal immigrants loose into the interior of the country. Such a situation might easily be dismissed by skeptics as too much of a caricature of…

    Biden Border ‘Blueprint’: Unfair, Disorderly, and Inhumane

    The Biden administration is hoping that if it repeats the words describing its border process as “fair, orderly, and humane” enough times, Americans will begin to believe it. Never mind what Americans’ lying eyes actually see every day at the border. The administration this week released its “Blueprint for a Fair, Orderly and Humane Immigration…

    Biden Touts Stronger ‘Buy American’ Rules for Taxpayer-Financed Purchases

    President Joe Biden announced proposed changes to the Buy American Act on Wednesday that would increase the requirement for U.S.-produced components in products bought by the federal government. The proposed rule would mandate all products bought with taxpayer dollars to have at least 60% of their components manufactured in the U.S., the Biden administration announced…

    To Follow the Science, Biden Administration Should Free the Science

    CDC can stand for many things: Conspiracy for Deceptive Calculations, Cartel for Democrats after Coronavirus—and probably more. But one thing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention should stand for is good science. Whether it does is up for debate, as public health experts like Dr. Martin Makary have criticized the agency for public health…

    Biden’s Baleful Border Betrayal

    Is there anything the left won’t blame on its fantastical scapegoat, climate change? Don’t bet on it. Its latest dodge is blaming the border crisis, which it created, on the climate crisis, which it invented. A Politico article is headlined, “It’s Not a Border Crisis. It’s a Climate Crisis.” That’s a convenient twofer. Never let…

    Biden Adopted Vague ‘30 by 30’ Conservation Plan From ‘Radical Environmental Groups,’ Nebraska Governor Says

    President Joe Biden’s proposed plan to conserve 30% of America’s land by 2030 lacks needed details, Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts says. The Biden administration has not provided details on how it intends to accomplish the goal, but enough is known about Biden’s “30 by 30” conservation initiative to know that it won’t serve the best…

    Senate Republicans rejected an effort Wednesday to begin debate on the bipartisan infrastructure deal endorsed by President Joe Biden, saying the vote came too early and the bill was not yet finalized.

    Congress, Biden Appear Determined to Undermine Military Justice System

    After years of trying unsuccessfully, efforts by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand to upend the current military justice system now appear to have the support needed to succeed.  The New York Democrat’s bill—euphemistically misnamed the Military Justice Improvement and Increasing Prevention Act—would strip the authority from military commanders to enforce good order and discipline for those under…

    The Costs of Biden’s Big Government

    It is one of the unfortunate ironies coming out of the Biden administration that, with all the obsession about so-called equity, policies it is putting forth will only hurt the very low-income Americans it pretends to want to help. The Biden administration is growing government at a record pace.  If what it wants is opportunity…

    Glowing Vogue Profile of Jill Biden Is Publicity, Not News

    So much of what people call “news” isn’t hard facts. There’s a less favorable word for it: publicity. When Democrats rule, news meets a dam, and publicity overflows. On June 29, ABC’s “Good Morning America” aired several minutes of this, swooning over Jill Biden and promoting a preposterously positive cover story in the August issue…

    Strike 3: Why Biden Commission Should Reject Court Packing

    President Joe Biden’s Supreme Court commission is up and running, keeping alive the calls for court packing. This plan for a hostile takeover of the Supreme Court has been rejected not once but twice in American history. The commission can put it to rest for good. Court packing means expanding the number of positions on…

    Biden Administration Is Skewing Carbon Numbers to Push Regulations

    The social cost of carbon is a climate economics construct used to quantify the damages associated with carbon dioxide emissions. The Biden administration wants to use the social cost of carbon in public policy to justify its regulatory agenda. The administration recently invited the public to comment on the Interagency Working Group’s interim technical support document…

    Biden Is Soft on the New Slavery

    2022 Budget: Early Signs Defense Is Not a Biden Administration Priority

    When the Office of Management and Budget released its 2022 budget request, President Joe Biden stated, “Where we choose to invest speaks to what we value as a Nation.” On that basis, the Biden administration does not value United States armed forces. Biden’s budget reflects more interest in an unprecedented expansion of the federal government…

    In Third Obamacare Decision, Supreme Court Doesn’t Decide Whether Its Constitutional

    The Supreme Court handed down its decision Thursday in California v. Texas, the third challenge to the Affordable Care Act, colloquially called Obamacare.  The high court held that the various states and individuals who brought the suit did not have standing to challenge the law. The mandate and the rest of the act survive. Importantly,…
