Democrats are in full panic. They’re entering the 2022 midterm season without any record of accomplishment. Nothing. Even the moderate Democrats tossed their lot in with Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the progressive caucus. It blew up in their faces. They now must defend a massive spending bill with far-left action items to their…
It’s déjà vu all over again. There’s the big bombshell that turns out to be total nonsense—a nothing burger. But even this story comes without the bun. There’s no meat. There’s no bun. There’s nothing. The January 6 Select Committee was established by Democrats to get Trump. Everyone else has gotten over this riot. We…
Before departing for Kentucky Wednesday morning, President Joe Biden briefly stopped to take questions from reporters on the South Lawn of the White House. When asked about his responsibility for Wuhan coronavirus deaths during his tenure, in addition to why he hasn’t pressed China about the origins of the disease, Biden laughed and walked away.…
Remember back in August when the Biden administration, through its Pentagon brass, announced a “righteous” drone strike in Kabul that supposedly stopped an imminent suicide bombing amid President Biden’s disastrous and deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan? The one that turned out to have been a complete miss and killed ten innocent civilians including seven children? Well,…
This week the Biden administration has relaunched a Trump-era immigration control policy known as “Remain in Mexico,” wherein ostensible asylum seekers must stay on Mexican soil while their claims are vetted and processed by the United States – decreasing our crushing administrative burden, and lowering false claimants’ chances of being released into the country’s interior. The White…
On this week’s “Sunday Night in America” segment on Fox News, former White House Press Secretary and “Outnumbered” co-host Kayleigh McEnany discussed the treatment she received from the media during her tenure as press secretary compared to current Press Secretary Jen Psaki. McEnany served as press secretary under President Trump from April 2020 to January 2021. “Look,…
One year ago President-elect Joe Biden promised Americans he would not implement a Wuhan coronavirus vaccine mandate. This was a promise also made by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky and Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki. In September, partially to distract from the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan where hundreds of Americans remain stranded,…
Gov. Greg Abbott took to Twitter on Wednesday night to celebrate a decision by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals that allows his ban on mask mandates in schools to remain in effect. The decision from the court’s three-judge panel, as reported by Brian Lopez with the Texas Tribune, found that there was no harm caused for…
Supposedly aimed at lowering fuel prices for Americans who continue to struggle under inflation that has accompanied the Biden administration’s economic policies, the president announced last week that he would be tapping into the nation’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve. It turns out, though, that some of the taxpayer-bought oil pulled from America’s strategic stockpile won’t even find its…
Sen. Ted Cruz addressed Dr. Anthony Fauci’s attack on him after the Texas Republican suggested he be investigated for allegedly making false statements before Congress. “Anybody who spins lies and threatens and all that theater that goes on with some of the investigations and the congressional committees and the Rand Pauls and all that other…
Let’s cut right to the chase: The media made the Kyle Rittenhouse trial a racial morality play because it suited their leftist ideological narrative, regardless of the facts. As we’ve written previously, the left is committed to certain Larger Truths, and they’ll flog them relentlessly – even when the various particulars don’t support them. The…
Will this happen? Probably not, but the fallout would be delicious. I’m all for anything that shakes Congress up. Donald Trump certainly did that, and who knows what could have been if the Democrats, the liberal media, and the Deep State didn’t boot the man from office. Yet, Trump’s return in the form of Speaker…
President Biden’s approval ratings have been in the tank for months, but a new poll puts in perspective just how bad they really are. When compared to the approval ratings of every single governor in America, Biden’s is the lowest. According to a new Morning Consult survey of approval ratings at the state level, the…
The Department of Homeland Security released new data on Monday confirming that President Biden’s border crisis continues to be a serious issue. Given the number of illegal immigrants apprehended at the border last month—over 164,000—last month marked the worst October in DHS history, Republicans pointed out. According to a Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll conducted late last month, 81 percent…
A group of Senate Democrats expressed their dismay over rising gas prices in a letter to President Biden this week, urging him to “consider all tools available at your disposal to lower U.S. gasoline prices.” As Spencer reported, their ideas included “a release from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and a ban on crude oil exports.” But…
An internal memo circulated to officers with the Chicago Police Department this week notified its force that “starting with the first watch Friday, regularly scheduled days off for all sworn personnel will be canceled.” The memo continued, explaining that all personnel “will be attired in the prescribed regulation field uniform of the day, including helmet,…
In September President Joe Biden nominated Saule Omarova to become comptroller of the currency at the Department of Treasury. The White House boasted that if confirmed, Omarova will be “the first woman and person of color” to hold the position. But whether Omarova will be confirmed by the U.S. Senate is a big question and…
New wholesale inflation numbers from September are in and once again prove the rapid increase in prices for everyday items isn’t “transitory” as President Joe Biden has repeatedly claimed. Wholesale prices rose by 8.6 percent compared to September 2020, matching the largest increase on record. “The Labor Department reported Tuesday that its producer price index…
President Biden is back in the United States after last week’s trip to Europe during which he met with world leaders in pursuit of a new climate deal even as crises raged back home in America.
