Imagine you're a White House staffer, or even Joe Biden himself. Suffering from a serious case of bad political news, you decide to tune into CNN's New Day, assured of some chicken soup for the soul. But, wait a second! They're talking of Democrats "panicked" over Biden's "abysmal, spectacular, failures." They're rolling an SNL clip mocking Biden over approval ratings so low, they're in "power-save" mode. You shake the remote: did you unintentionally tune into that horrible right-wing network? This can't be happening! But, sadly for the Biden's folks, there was no mistake. That actually was New Day, absolutely taking...

The stink of Biden's failure permeates the land, reeking intensely not unlike Eric Swalwell’s Volvo with the windows shut tight on a hot day on the way home from a double-bean chili feed at Fang Fang’s condo. Welcome to the malaise, kids. Welcome to what we all hope turns out to be merely Jimmy Carter 2.0 rather than James Buchannan 2.0. Pray we dodge those bullets, literally. I’ve got a new non-fiction book from Regnery on America’s looming chaos coming out on July 12th, so I’ve been digging deep into the worst-case scenarios. You’ll want to pray really hard. Since...

With Biden hiding in his basement in 2020, the press got him elected because they created a mythical candidate unrelated to Joe Biden. The mythic Biden was wise, kind, even grandfatherly. He loved all people and dreamed of a time when America was a safe, normal place. Then the real Joe Biden took the oath of office and, despite the media’s relentless shilling for him, plummeted in approval. CBS News, a Biden-friendly “news” outlet, joined with YouGov to poll Americans regarding the Biden presidency. The news was grim (for Biden and his administration) and there was no way to spin...

He and Wallace were best buds. Got an award from Wallace.

VIDEOJake Tapper castigated President Trump over "Who Counts the Votes" during his January 16 "State Of The Union" show. Guess what? Joe Biden also angrily declared that what matters isn't so much who gets to vote as "WHO COUNTS THE VOTES." Thus far no comment from Tapper on Biden's declaration.

It’s not often absolutely everything goes wrong. And by “everything” I mean everything. Imagine a day where you get fired, your spouse dumps you, you get food poisoning, all your accounts are hacked, your bank account drained, you get hit by a car, and your dog bites you. That would be a pretty bad day. That was Joe Biden’s week – absolutely everything that could go wrong, did. And it was glorious for America. It’s hard to overstate everything that happened last week – so much went wrong that you could easily forget some of it. It may well be...

NEW YORK (AP) — Just over a year ago, millions of energized young people, women, voters of color and independents joined forces to send Joe Biden to the White House. But 12 months into his presidency, many describe a coalition in crisis. Leading voices across Biden’s diverse political base openly decry the slow pace of progress on key campaign promises. The frustration was especially pronounced this past week after Biden’s push for voting rights legislation effectively stalled, intensifying concerns in his party that fundamental democratic principles are at risk and reinforcing a broader sense that the president is faltering at...

How bad are things for Joe Biden? On top of the latest poll showing him with a minuscule 33% approval rating, here comes a certified member of the liberal media noting the similarities between Biden's presidency and that of Jimmy Carter.On Friday's Morning Joe, Ed Luce was invited to discuss his current Financial Times column, "America's Nagging Echoes of the 1970s." Luce saw parallels in terms of inflation, crime on the rise, and threats from Moscow. But the most dread similarity he drew was: "The sense of drift, the general sense of drift. The sense we have a president that...

Virginia enacted a Clean Economy Act; other states have implemented similar laws. AOC demands a national Green New Deal; President Biden is imposing one via executive decree. The United Kingdom is determined to reach Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions; the European Union is pursuing a Green Deal. All these policies send energy prices rocketing upward, eliminating jobs and killing people. Instead of reducing emissions, they simply move them overseas, where they combine with massive air and water pollution, habitat destruction and wildlife decimation – as China and other countries burn more coal, oil and gas every year, to improve their...

President Joe Biden, who has low approval ratings, recently gave a speech on voter rights in Atlanta and Stacey Abrams was nowhere to be seen. Biden says it was because of a schedule issue and suggested that he wasn't snubbed by the failed gubernatorial candidate. When a reporter asked Joe Biden why Abrams wasn't there, suggesting she might have snubbed the president, he snapped back and suggested it was an insulting question. However, criticism by Joe Concha suggest Abrams MAY think Joe Biden is toxic to be around. WATCH Concha explode on it...

VIDEOJoe Biden sometimes blurts out embarrassing truths such as the fact that his voting bills are all about "WHO COUNTS THE VOTES!" And because Senator Kyrsten Sinema blocked this scheme by supporting the filibuster, liberals are predictably angry at her as you can see in this entertaining compilation of their whines.

It's hard to imagine a worse 48-hour stretch for any first-year president than the one Joe Biden endured over the past two days. On Wednesday, Quinnipiac University released a devastating poll placing the president's public approval at 33 percent, his lowest approval in any poll since his presidency began. What makes just one-third of the country supporting this president even more remarkable is that Biden received more votes than any other presidential candidate in history: 81 million, or more than 10 million more votes than the previous record holder, Barack Obama. The drop has been unprecedented: Biden sat at 55...

One of the most frustrating things about "fact-checkers" is how they leap on conservative rhetoric against Democrats as "false" or "missing context" but give Democrats a pass to say the wildest, nastiest things about conservatives. For example, PolitiFact pounced on Georgia Sen. David Perdue as a "Pants on Fire" liar for calling his opponent Sen. Jon Ossoff a "socialist." They gave Donald Trump a "Pants on Fire" rating for calling Ossoff and his fellow Georgia Democrat Sen. Raphael Warnock "radical" and "the most extreme far-left candidates in the history of our country." But resident Joe Biden can go to Atlanta...

SUPREME COURT STRIKES DOWN OSHA VACCINE MANDATEBREAKING: The Supreme Court BLOCKS the federal government's COVID-19 vaccine-or-test requirement for large workplaces.

VIDEOJoe Biden was in the middle of his unhinged rant when Kyrsten Sinema emerged from a Senate meeting room behind him. The moment she spotted Biden, she immediately did a very quick U-turn. Obviously Sinema didn't want the crazed Biden to point his finger at her and accused Sinema of being Bull Connor.

One unpleasant ghost from the past (and present) will be moving back toward center stage in a couple of months and it may wind up presenting yet another challenge for the Biden administration. One of my concerns during the 2020 election dealt with my dread that liberal Democrats would be back in control in 2022 because of an important energy policy milestone. The Renewable Fuel Standard, which mandates the blending of “green” fuels like ethanol into America’s gasoline supply, has been running on a fifteen-year schedule that was last established and expanded in 2007. The current charter is up after...

Stacey Abrams: a smut novelist, failed gubernatorial candidate, activist huckster and sometimes a smart politician who can at least read the electoral tea leaves when they’re glaringly transparent. Abrams has made a career out of selling the non-issue that voters in Georgia and across America are being disenfranchised by voting laws that are racist and biased against Democratic voters. Despite her limited success in transforming any voting laws, she has shown a remarkable ability to enrich her personal fortune by owning two homes worth $1.4 million. That’s not bad for someone who claims to represent the disenfranchised. You can argue...

Last January, newly elected resident Joe Biden pledged to fight racism and unify the nation. Instead, during his first year he's imposed a harsh agenda of racism in everything from distributing pandemic-relief aid to allocating scarce medicines for COVID patients. Racial favoritism is affecting every way Americans are treated by this administration. New guidance from Biden's Food and Drug Administration instructs states to reserve monoclonal antibody drugs for patients with medical risk factors such as obesity and kidney disease. But here's the catch: The FDA is also urging race and ethnicity to be considered risk factors, apart from medical condition....

Back when Joe Biden was mercifully not yet our President, he had a period where he flailed about like a deranged mongoose searching for “messaging.” We all remember his bizarre “tell your kids to stop listening to the record player” rant as if he was addressing June and Ward Cleaver instead of actual humans in 2020. Then there was his infamous pronouncement in an interview with alleged personality Leonard Larry McKelvey (known professionally as Charlamagne Tha God) that if an African-American like McKelvey didn’t yet know if he would vote for Biden or Donald J. Trump “then you ain’t black.”...
