    Filibuster Flip-Flop: Sen. Biden vs. President Biden

    When President Joe Biden addressed the filibuster during his first press conference on March 25, most of what he said was either factually wrong or seriously misleading. Both the Senate and House must end debate on a bill before it can vote on passage. In the House, the same number of votes—a simple majority—can do…

    Pro-Biden Press Corps Is Deeply Embarrassing

    President Joe Biden’s first formal press conference is in the books, and it was deeply embarrassing to anyone who thinks the media’s job is to hold presidents accountable.

    Biden Tries to Hide an Obvious Crisis at Border

    The full-blown humanitarian crisis on the southern border ultimately could threaten the safety and security of every single American. The Biden administration has failed to properly acknowledge the severity of the situation and seemingly is in total denial of just how dire the circumstances are.

Ted Cruz on Monday demanded that President Joe Biden allow the press access to report on what he called the “humanitarian, national security, and public health crises at the southern border.”  “Denying the press the ability to observe, film, and report on the conditions at the border is not openness or transparency—it is hiding…

    Obama and Democrats: Filibuster for Me, but Not for Thee

    Senators of both parties often say they want to legislate “on a bipartisan basis.” On March 6, for example, Assistant Majority Leader Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said it three times in one short speech. For more than 200 years, the Senate’s approach to handling legislation has had a built-in bipartisan incentive by giving the minority more…

    Sen. Elizabeth Warren Calls Filibuster Racist After Filibustering Sen. Tim Scott’s Police Bill

    Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., has called the Senate filibuster racist months after she herself filibustered police reform legislation from Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C. Warren said the filibuster is both racist and shouldn’t be permitted in the Senate since it gives the minority veto power,  Axios reported. The legislative filibuster, which dates back to the 1800s, is…

    Rep. Jim Banks: After 11 Years of Obamacare, Republicans Need to Become Party of Health Care

    When I first arrived in Washington four years ago, I firmly believed that Republicans weren’t just right on health care, but that we won the debate on health care. Senate Democrats passed the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, in March 2010, and in the following November, voters handed Republicans the majority in the House of…

    Biden Campaign Lawyers, Democrats Advised Green Bay on Election Procedures

    MADISON, Wis.—Left-leaning groups funded by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg weren’t the only organizations telling the city of Green Bay, Wisconsin’s third-largest city, how to run November’s election. The Democratic Party of Wisconsin and operatives for then-Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s campaign also offered advice to Green Bay Mayor Eric Genrich’s office. And it appears Genrich…

    Biden’s Military Declares War on Tucker Carlson

    President Joe Biden’s military last week declared its first war … on Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

    More Evidence Emerges That the Media Is on Team Biden

    Just over three weeks before Election Day 2016, Chris Cillizza, now with CNN, infamously tweeted, “Let me say for the billionth time: Reporters don’t root for a side. Period.” No doubt he really believed it, as do many journalists who truly feel they are treating their stories’ subjects fairly. But as a group, their overall…

    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 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.
