    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.

    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.

    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…

    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…
