All that is left of Joe Biden’s never very bright mind is his viciousness. Biden’s speech after the Buffalo mass shooting was as obscene as his speech in the wake of the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas was last night. He was barely there; frail and blank, reading the teleprompter with no emotion until he got to blaming guns. Then he yelled with thoroughly phony anger at all Americans who revere the Second Amendment. It never occurs to leftists like Biden that had one or two or three of the staff at the market in Buffalo or the school in...

Joe Biden has had his 100-day honeymoon. People were bound to start complaining eventually. But then something at the gas station caught my attention. As I was filling my car, I noticed that someone had put a sticky note on the gas pump. It read, “Prices Compliments of Joe Biden.” When I told a friend about it, he commented that those notes have been appearing around town. It gave me a good laugh, but in the back of my head I was wondering if this was something more than normal grumbling about the government. Was something different this time? On...

Joe Biden delivered a commencement address at the US Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut on Wednesday. Biden got irritated at the lack of enthusiasm from the coast guard cadets and asked them to clap. Idiot Joe tried to crack a joke and got peeved at the lack of response from the crowd. “You are a really dull class. Come on, man! Is the sun getting to you?” Biden said with the sun beating down on his face.

If you wanted to teach a class on how to cause confusion and distrust, you would follow the U.S. government's coronavirus playbook. A lot has been written about the historically low levels of trust Americans have in their leaders and institutions. There's been less analysis on what happens when a government has no faith in its own citizens. We are seeing the results today. From the start of the pandemic, health authorities have chosen gamesmanship over honesty. This has resulted in muddled and inconsistent messaging from national leaders. The end result is a broken country of citizens at one another's...

Among the many executive orders that Joe Biden issued upon taking office was one that shut down the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, putting tens of thousands of American jobs at risk. He’s had his eye on some other pipeline construction projects as well, a plan that will probably further impede the nation’s oil and gas industry as Biden works to impress his European friends with is climate advocacy. But in a bit of an ironic role reversal, there may be one such project that Biden won’t be bringing to a halt despite a bipartisan demand from the Senate...

With his initial comments on the horrifying multiple Islamic terrorist attacks in Paris, Barack Obama's response to these types of attacks continues to be pitiful. The message he conveys is hardly one of strength and commitment. More a look of hand-wringing and a deer-in-the-headlights.Sorry, but Barack Obama just doesn't 'look' like he exudes strength and commitment. When he steps before a microphone he exhibits a look of cluelessness and weakness that our enemies clearly recognize. They just don't take him seriously.With a somber look on his face he mumbles some nonsense about 'solidarity with the victims,'then he admonishes us all...

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: "They'll have a bunch of ads with the scary voices and you know, most of what you hear you can just go mute. Just press the mute button. That's a good thing about the remote. Or you can use the DVR and fast forward. "And the reason why you don't have to pay much attention is because these ads are going to say the same thing over and over again. They know, the other side knows they can't sell their economic plan because we tried it and it didn't work."

This seemingly trivial event was seized upon by the press and became a sort of Rorschach test of the Carter presidency: reporters and commentators saw in this story whatever they wanted to see in Carter's administration. Jody Powell, Carter's press secretary, described the affair in his 1986 book The Other Side of the Story: It began late...
