    Why Biden’s Blaming Trump for Border Crisis Has Zero Credibility
    No one believes the Biden White House’s feeble attempt to blame the Trump administration for the current border crisis. As the Biden administration unsuccessfully tries to deflect blame for the humanitarian disaster now occurring before America’s eyes, despite its directed media blackout, the administration is only succeeding at showing it knows it has a problem….

    Angry at Trump, Liberals Propose Unconstitutional Bill to Punish Him
    Democrats have twice impeached Donald Trump in the House and twice failed to convict him in the Senate. They’re angry about failing, and double angry about failing twice. That’s understandable.

    Liberals Claim to Support Independent Agencies. So Why Is Biden Firing Trump Appointees?
    Conservatives have long criticized the notion of independent executive branch agencies.  Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution provides that “[t]he executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America”—not some executive power, but all of it, unless the Constitution explicitly provides otherwise.  That is often referred to as the…
