Joe Biden's re-election campaign is repeating the naked lie, over and over again, that President Trump wants to cut elderly people's Social Security and Medicare. Some of those elderly voters believe him, as recent polling has shown. But he's already played Mr. Slasher on Medicare Advantage, the immensely popular supplemental health insurance program favored by more than half of seniors, and he plans to cut it more. Democrats hate this program because it allows its buyers choice in what kind of coverage they would like to have on their policies. According to an important op-ed on RedState from the Heartland...

Jeff Bezos chastised President Biden Saturday for blaming gas station companies for sky-high prices at the pump — declaring the commander-in-chief either employed “misdirection” or displayed a “deep misunderstanding” of economic fundamentals. In a Saturday afternoon tweet, the official presidential account wrote, “My message to the companies running gas stations and setting prices at the pump is simple: this is a time of war and global peril.” “Bring down the price you are charging at the pump to reflect the cost you’re paying for the product,” Biden added. “And do it now.”

Editor's Note: This column is co-authored with Jim McCoy.On January 20th of this very long and tedious year. Americans who voted for Biden were hoping for a respite from Trump’s hyperbole. Instead, they were victimized by Biden’s more substantial prevarications. Things have been on a serious downhill slide for the United States in virtually every governmental and social domain. American is hurting – both as a nation-state and as a people. Of course, no one really knew how Biden would actually govern as President. During the Obama years Joe was a marionette, controlled by Obama (think Dan Penn & Spooner...

Last week we reported on how Kyle Rittenhouse’s mother Wendy went on Fox News, where she rightly proceeded to rip President Biden over what she called his “defamation” of her son during the 2020 presidential election campaign.Specifically, Biden tweeted out a video roughly a month before Election Day that included a montage of clips including scenes from the violent BLM/Antifa-led Kenosha riots from August 2020 and the racist Charlottesville “tiki torch” event from August 2017 – effectively conflating the two, the latter of which took place the night before the infamous “Unite the Right” rally that left counter-protester Heather Heyer...

The White House on Monday condemned “vigilantes” armed with “assault weapons” as the Kyle Rittenhouse trial wrapped up in Wisconsin. “What I can reiterate for you is the president’s view that we shouldn’t have, broadly speaking, vigilantes patrolling our communities with assault weapons,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said during the daily briefing. Psaki said she would not specifically address an ongoing trial, but indicated that Biden was not supportive of individuals defending their communities. She reacted to the Rittenhouse trial on Monday after Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked her about Biden’s assertion on social media that he...

The mother of Kyle Rittenhouse claimed President Biden “defamed” her son when he tweeted a video suggesting the Illinois teen is a white supremacist. “When I saw that, I was shocked, I was angry,” Wendy Rittenhouse told Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Thursday night. “President Biden don’t know my son whatsoever, and he’s not a white supremacist. He’s not a racist. And [Biden] did that for the votes,” the mother fumed. “And I was so angry for a while at him and what he did to my son, he defamed him,” she added. Biden, a presidential candidate in September 2020,...

This week, the president took a trip to Virginia to try to help salvage the gubernatorial prospects of fellow Washington lifer Terry McAuliffe. resident Joe Biden used the appearance to liken the GOP gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin to Jan. 6 rioters, to lie about Republicans supporting "book bans" and to attempt to goad former President Donald Trump into coming to Virginia. (Mission accomplished? Perhaps not.) Biden wants to talk about one person these days, and that person isn't Biden. Then again, what does he possibly have to brag about? Shutting down COVID? More Americans have died from the disease during...

Joe Biden has framed a nail-bitingly close race for governor of Virginia as a referendum on his young presidency and an opportunity to rebuke his predecessor, Donald Trump. Seemingly liberated from the formal trappings of office by a return to the campaign trail, Biden used a rally in Arlington, Virginia, to launch an unusually scathing and sustained attack on the former president. Biden had made the short journey from Washington to speak in support of the Democrat Terry McAuliffe, who faces a tight election against the Republican Glenn Youngkin next week. “Just remember this: I ran against Donald Trump,” he...

The Biden administration is fast becoming the most pro-abortion administration in history. Its advisors targeted the charitable work of pro-life agencies in cases like NIFLA v. Becerra. Now, Biden is proposing massive increases in abortion funding in the United States and around the world. Biden has selected key advisors who are hostile to the work of pro-life pregnancy centers. These charitable agencies save thousands of lives by providing abortion alternatives that empower mothers to choose life. The Charlotte Lozier Institute reports that in 2019, pro-life pregnancy centers supplied more than $231 million in free support and services to women considering...

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Tuesday that while the biggest ransomware attack on record is not yet "fully" attributable to Russia, the Biden administration will "take action" if President Putin doesn't clamp down on cybercriminals within his country.

Actress and climate activist Jane Fonda has hit out at Joe Biden for not being “bold” or “fast” enough to tackle the climate crisis as she joins demonstrations over the Line 3 pipeline. Ms Fonda’s comments come as she continues to speak out against plans for a new pipeline in Northern Minnesota with protesters arguing that plans for the replacement line violate tribal land. During an interview on CNN on Tuesday, Ms Fonda said that while she was “grateful” for the steps Mr Biden had taken to combat the climate crisis, he has not done “enough”.

President Biden entered the Oval Office nearly four months ago and immediately signed dozens of executive orders and made sweeping legislative proposals aimed at rolling back the policies of former President Donald Trump. Early in the Biden presidency, the United States is now facing a series of emerging crises that critics attribute directly to these reversals of Trump-era policies and positions. "Weak leadership is the cause of all of these crises," freshman Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) told the John Solomon Reports podcast, citing the surge of illegal immigration, the disabling Colonial Pipeline hack, and the flare-up of violence in the...

President Joe Biden addressed the nation on April 20th following the announcement of the jury’s guilty verdicts against former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for murder and manslaughter in the killing of George Floyd. Instead of focusing on America’s virtues as a country based on the rule of law, Biden played the spurious “systemic racism” card. Instead of focusing on America’s progress in becoming a more just and inclusive society, Biden said that Floyd’s death had "ripped the blinders off for the whole world to see the systemic racism in the United States." He added that this “systemic racism” is...

Supporters of Democrat Joe Biden have begun expressing “voter remorse” as his administration continues to push deeply unpopular far-left policies. Over last weekend alone, Biden’s job approval rating plummeted by three points.

Nowhere is the evangelical zeal of liberals more clearly illustrated than in the Biden’s administration’s tying aid to Africa and other continents to the acceptance of the doctrines of leftist progressivism. For many decades, liberals have excoriated the nineteenth-century Christians’ global evangelistic outreach as a characteristic of colonialism. They have ridiculed what they termed the “White Man’s Burden.” But now they imitate what they have despised by taking their own messianic vision of “equality” to those they deem backwards and ignorant. If they are to have relief from poverty, hunger, disease, Africans must accept progressive dogma: abortion as a sacrament;...

President Joe Biden took a swipe at his foe from 13-years-ago Friday as he celebrated the passage of the “American Rescue Plan.” In the Rose Garden with congressional Democrats, Biden said he may appoint Vice President Kamala Harris to implement the $1.9 trillion behemoth spending bill.

written by Students for Life Action calling on U.S. Senators to VOTE NO on the confirmation of California Attorney General Xavier Becerra to head the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS.) About the letter to be delivered today to U.S. Senators, Students for Life Action President Kristan Hawkins said, “Pro-family and pro-life leaders have come together to send the clear message that weaponizing America’s healthcare systems against pro-lifers and people of faith must never be allowed or tolerated. There is a reason that Planned Parenthood and their abortion allies believe they have been ‘wildly successful’ with a possible...

ROME — The Vatican suggested Thursday a Biden presidency might inject new life into the stagnant Paris Climate Accord after President Trump pulled the U.S. out of the deal in 2017. The Vatican COVID-19 Commission announced Thursday that it is organizing a webinar next week in preparation for a December 12 global climate summit to be co-hosted by the United Nations and the UK to mark the fifth anniversary of the Paris Agreement. In its preparatory document, the Vatican team lamented the lack of initiative and commitment around the Paris climate goals, something it said needs to gain renewed momentum...

Democrats get away with awful things. Hillary Clinton left four Americans to die in Benghazi and put America's state secrets on an unprotected server, but she's still tossing back drinks on the cocktail party circuit. Four years after Obama and his minions tried to throw an election and then embarked on a coup effort, they're still getting the big bucks from Netflix and book tours. Our government may be useless when it comes to justice, but private people are pushing back. The latest example comes from super-attorney Lin Wood, who plans to sue Joe Biden for running an ad accusing...

Kyle Rittenhouse’s lawyer is set to sue the Biden campaign, after they implied that the 17-year-old was a white supremacist in a political advert. More...
