By Diana Furchtgott-Roth ~ After one of the biggest banks in the technology startup lending space collapsed last week, President Joe Biden tried to reassure Americans that their banking system was still safe. But if bank examiners are not doing their job, which was the fundamental problem in the Silicon Valley Bank crash, then customers’ […]
By David Ditch ~ President Joe Biden has a long, well-documented history of telling tall tales. Accordingly, it was not a surprise that his State of the Union address Feb. 7 included many misleading and inaccurate claims. Although a group of experts dissected the speech in real time, one line in particular is worth rebutting […]
By David Ditch ~ House Republicans will vote soon on whether to bring back the ban on budget earmarks, which are a way for members of Congress to dole out favors using taxpayer money. Ending earmarks would be an excellent opportunity for the new House majority to combat the wasteful and corrupt political culture that […]
By E.J. Antoni ~ The sailor’s lament “Water, water everywhere, and not a drop to drink” is reminiscent of how most Americans must feel today about their cost of living. For instance, there are plenty of homes and apartments across the country, but good luck finding one that’s affordable—inflation and interest rate hikes under President […]
By Peter St. Onge ~ The highly anticipated consumer price index numbers for July came out Wednesday, and while energy fluctuations drove the headline number down, ominous trends show President Joe Biden’s inflation will continue to devastate the American people. The headline consumer price index came in at 8.5% year-over-year inflation, down from last month’s […]
By Fred Lucas ~ Pulling an all-night “vote-a-rama” Saturday that extended through the middle of the afternoon on Sunday, Senate Democrats defeated a slew of Republican amendments en route to passing a massive spending and taxing bill. In her role as president of the Senate, Vice President Kamala Harris cast the tie-breaking vote on the […]
By E.J. Antoni ~ If you’re having trouble making it from paycheck to paycheck, you’re hardly alone. A majority of Americans tell pollsters they feel the economy is not in good shape and getting worse. People are now demonstrably poorer than when President Joe Biden took office. Although wages have risen, prices have risen much […]
By Jonathan Moy ~ While running for president in 2020, Joe Biden famously tweeted that he’d own up to his mistakes. “It’s hard to believe this has to be said, but unlike this president [then-President Donald Trump], I’ll do my job and take responsibility. I won’t blame others,” he wrote. “And I’ll never forget that […]
By Fred Lucas ~ Americans are paying about $2,500 more for energy because of Biden administration policies, says former Energy Secretary Rick Perry. “We became the No. 1 producer of oil and natural gas and become a net energy exporter for the first time in 70 years,” Perry told a panel of House Republicans Tuesday […]
By Alexander Hall ~ President Joe Biden signed an executive order to ensure government oversight of cryptocurrency and to ensure that it is “equitable” for groups categorized as historically marginalized. Does anything escape government control in this administration? Biden signed an executive order today so that the United States regime can “address any regulatory gaps” […]
By Star Parker ~ It is ironic when Democrats complain about sensational use of language. Thanks to progressives, practically every white person in America has been labelled a racist. But now Democrats are screaming because Republican Sen. John Kennedy suggested that Saule Omarova, whom President Joe Biden has nominated to head the Office of the […]
By David Ditch ~ Last weekend, the House finally passed the nearly $1.2 trillion infrastructure package. The vote followed months of tedious back-and-forth drama between various factions within the Democratic Party. Ideally, that would be the final act in an overly long spending spree from Congress that began last year, but there’s an all-too-real chance […]
By GianCarlo Canaparo ~ Democrats have proposed partly funding some of their multitrillion-dollar spending plan with a tax on the “unrealized capital gains” of anyone who makes more than $100 million per year or is worth at least $1 billion. That proposed tax is likely unconstitutional. To understand why, we first must understand how such […]
By Peter Murphy ~ From day one of his presidency, Joe Biden has been implementing his climate change agenda. By hook or by crook, the Biden administration and Congress are trying to force American businesses and consumers away from plentiful and affordable oil, coal and natural gas. Then something happened along the way that could […]
By Tim Graham ~ Democrats are feeling gloomy as their “infrastructure” bills are stuck in a fight between leftists and “centrists.” Many predict that if these huge spending bills could be passed, then the midterm prospects for Biden and his party would look much brighter. Will Saletan at Slate tweeted for the optimists: “Soon the […]
By David Ditch ~ Talk about a ludicrous advertising pitch! Speaking of the record-breaking tax-and-spend package currently being pushed through Congress, President Joe Biden last Friday said, “It is zero price tag on the debt. We’re going to pay for everything we spend.” This is flatly wrong, and it isn’t even close. While we don’t yet have a full accounting […]
By Jarrett Stepman ~ The massive spending bill backed by President Joe Biden and Democrat leadership in Congress highlights just how radical their party has become and the farce behind billing the Biden presidency as a “moderate” alternative to the far left. The $3.5 trillion spending measure has been billed as a way to promote […]
By Joseph Vazquez ~ As the nation grapples with the threat of high inflation, Bloomberg News is reporting that Americans are now feeling the heat of price spikes. The outlet published a damning story Sept. 17 headlined, “Americans See Worst Buying Conditions in Decades on High Prices.” Specifically, according to Bloomberg News, buying conditions “for […]
By Matthew Dickerson and Richard Stern ~ Congressional Democrats this week finally unveiled the legislative text of the largest tax increase in more than 50 years. It weighs in at more than 880 pages, so it’s no wonder they have attempted to keep the details of the so-called “Build Back Better Act” under wraps. Whenever […]
By David Ditch ~ Despite already spending trillions of dollars on COVID-19 relief legislation, for the past few months, Democrats have been focused on designing the largest tax-and-spend bill in U.S. history. As the House and Senate move the legislation through at freight-train speed, troubling details about the plan have emerged. All Americans should be […]
By Fred Lucas ~ President Joe Biden on Tuesday announced a plan to push for the government to buy from black-owned businesses and for infrastructure targeted at minority-majority areas to help close the “racial wealth gap” between black and white Americans. He said his administration also wants to increase enforcement of the Fair Housing Act […]
By Elizabeth Hanke ~ President Joe Biden proposes to subsidize with federal tax dollars the manufacturing industry under his American Jobs Plan to “maintain our competitive edge.” The proposal would cost American taxpayers about $300 billion and would specifically aid small and minority-owned businesses, tribal communities, and rural areas. The manufacturing industry in the United […]
By David Ditch ~ The latest national employment numbers were released on Friday. Expectations were high. A combination of vaccinations, relaxing of pandemic-related economic restrictions, and stimulus funding that passed in March were enough to have experts predicting 1 million new jobs in April. The reality was quite different—just 266,000 new jobs in April, the […]
By David Ditch ~ When I was born in western New York, it was the second-most populous state in the nation and had a whopping 34 congressional districts. Following the 2020 census, however, New York is now the fourth-most populous state and will only have 27 congressional districts. Over a period of 40 years, 1981 […]
