“He can run but he can’t hide,” legendary boxer Joe Louis once said about an opponent. These days, the same thing might be said about the president of the United States. At a crucial moment of his tenure, Joe Biden is repeatedly refusing to take questions. The odd ducking and weaving have even the normally docile White House press corps in an uproar. Why won’t he answer us, they demand to know. The question answers itself — Biden won‘t face the media because he’s got something to hide. But as with Joe Louis’ opponents, running won’t work. For despite Biden’s...

Picture this: It's 9 p.m. on January 13, 2026 — a Tuesday — and you tune in to your favorite cable-news network to watch the president's annual State of the Union address. But this year, the president doesn't take a bulletproof limo from the White House to the US Capitol. Gone are the hundreds of members of Congress traditionally in attendance. Instead, the commander in chief is wearing an orange jumpsuit, his message streamed to lawmakers and into your living room via Zoom from his prison cell. Yes, this scenario is equally far-fetched and outlandish — in the extreme. But...

Some politicians address challenges head-on. Others attempt distractions, changing the subject in the hope that the public will forget the ongoing disasters of their governance. It should be no surprise by now that Joe Biden falls in the latter group. As the American economy continues to stagnate, with high inflation, a sluggish stock market, and the promise of home ownership moving into unreachable territory, Joe Biden has returned to one of his favorite cons: the idea that he can make Americans safer by expanding unconstitutional gun control measures. As America’s financial pages attempted to learn from the sudden collapses of...

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) during a Senate Finance Committee hearing on Thursday that Chinese depositors will be made whole while community banks will have to pay higher fees. Yellen spoke before the Finance Committee to discuss President Joe Biden’s budget proposal, but given the increasing concern over the instability in the banking sector, most questions revolved around the federal government’s response to the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and others.

VIDEORemember, it's NOT a bailout! How do we know? Because the government is telling us it is NOT a bailout and they would never lie. Right?

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Tuesday responded after President Biden criticized Florida for making efforts to protect children from transgender surgeries and so-called “gender-affirming” treatments. “It is not ‘sinful’ to prohibit the mutilation of minors,” DeSantis said in response to Biden, who lamented the state of affairs in Florida during an interview on The Daily Show. “What’s going on in Florida is, as my mother would say, close to sinful. It’s just terrible what they’re doing,” Biden told Kal Penn. “It’s not like a kid wakes up one morning and says, ‘You know, I decided I wanted to become...

Joe Biden is a fabulist. We all know this. And by now it should fail to surprise. Yet it continues to do so, perhaps because his lies are so transparent, and the MSM so willing to spread them. In an interview with The Daily Show’s Kal Penn (who?) Biden dropped some whoppers, but the most striking of them was his utterly ridiculous claim that he had an epiphany about same-sex marriage as a senior in High School. Uh, yeah. Right. His dad apparently supported gay marriage too, in 1960, and explained that love is love to Joe.

The Justice Department is not disclosing to the public or Congress links between President Biden’s son Hunter and brother James and a corrupt Chinese government agent who doled out millions of dollars in bribes. It has scrubbed the connections from court documents and is suggesting it doesn’t have evidence clearly in its possession. In addition, the department appears to be trying to silence another disreputable partner from coming forward to tell what he knows about the Bidens' Chinese connection. In 2016, FBI counterespionage agents began collecting voluminous evidence against Chinese national Chi Ping “Patrick” Ho, who was suspected of paying...

An “emergency” was required on Jan 6 to prevent the 2020 election coup from being uncovered. .... Snip.... This is a very important read. What this shows is that the Democrats and the Deep State needed an “emergency” on January 6th to culminate their 2020 Election steal. In order to complete the 2020 Election coup, Pelosi, Schumer, McConnell and Pence needed to create an emergency. The only way to prevent Congress from delaying the certification of state electoral votes was to create a crisis that could easily be designated an emergency. Just moments, literally 3 minutes before two representatives issued...

Pakistani police and supporters of Imran Khan fought pitched battles on Tuesday outside the former prime minister’s home in the eastern city of Lahore, injuring several on both sides, ahead of his possible arrest, a government spokesman and witnesses said. The police charged the supporters with batons and lobbed teargas shells. A few hundred Khan supporters gathered outside his house after a police team arrived from Islamabad to arrest him on a court order, government spokesman Amir Mir told Reuters. Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers started the violence, which injured several police officials, Mir said, adding, “If Imran Khan ensures...

In a brief statement Monday addressing the stunning collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, Joe Biden sought to assure worried Americans that the U.S. banking system is in good hands. “Thanks to the quick action of my administration over the last few days, Americans can have confidence that the banking system is safe,” Biden said. “Your deposits will be there when you need them.” As he was speaking, the stocks of four other banks—First Republic Bank, PacWest, Regions and Western Alliance Bancorp—were halted for volatility. Biden faulted “the previous administration” for rolling back regulations that he claimed would...

Why would Joe Biden irritate his Left to allow oil drilling in Alaska? Well consider this Never Trumper US Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and de-facto Biden ally has been a long-time friend of the energy industry. Her father Frank Murkowski ousted in 2006 as Governor of Alaska after Sarah Palin figured out how corrupt the Energy Commission Murkowski appointed her to was. Palin irritated the energy industry by wanting them to pay a fee to help pay for Alaska's state government. Murkowski Republicans had no such notions they kissed energy industry backside like business as usual politicians are supposed...

Senior Israeli official says Saudi Arabia recognized a weakness in the West, leading the way for its agreement to restore diplomatic ties with Iran A senior Israeli official on Friday blamed the previous government for the agreement between Saudi Arabia and Iran on restoring diplomatic ties between the country. Speaking to reporters who traveled with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Rome, the senior official said that the agreement is also the result of weakness towards Iran by the US and the West. "The Saudis recognized a weakness by the West and Israel," said the official, who added the Saudis "felt...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — During a prestigious ceremony held at the White House, President Biden bestowed the "Black American of Courage" award to actor Robert Downey Jr. for his pivotal role as a black man in the 2008 movie Tropic Thunder. Awarding the white actor a black award equitably follows in the footsteps of First Lady Jill Biden, who recently gave the International Woman of Courage Award to a fat guy from Argentina squashed into a dress and caked with makeup to show young women around the world to never give up on their dreams of being crushed into oblivion and...

US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin met Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant Thursday afternoon. During their meeting Secretary Austin delivered a message from the Biden Administration on controversy surrounding the issue of judicial reform in Israel... He also noted that US President Joe Biden expects compromises between the coalition on the judicial reform issue....

Republican Senator Tom Cotton claims that the Biden administration is funding Israel's Movement for Quality Government that is "trying to bring down Netanyahu"

Sure, President Joe Biden unilaterally canceling student loan debt without Congressional approval is probably illegal, but whatever. At least, that’s the argument The Washington Post editors are running with. The Post editorial board ran a dim-witted editorial headlined: “Biden overreached on student loans. But the court shouldn’t stop him.” The president abused his executive authority when he canceled $10,000 in debt for “most borrowers” and $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients on Aug. 24, 2022. The act hit taxpayers with a price tag in the billions, according to CNBC. The Post admitted that Biden’s plan was “expensive,” “ill-targeted” and “made worse...

As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier on Monday, Joe Biden was the keynote speaker at the 2023 International Association of Fire Fighters Legislative Conference. As usual, Biden’s remarks were filled with blunders and bizarre statements. One of the most eyebrow-raising things Biden said was when he told the crowd of firefighters that when he had terrible headaches doctors ‘had to take the top of his head off a couple of times to see if he had a brain.’ WATCH:

A Chinese military company that Hunter Biden’s investment firm teamed up with is now assisting the Russian air force in the war in Ukraine. The BHR Partners investment firm, which counted President Joe Biden's son as a board member and 10% stakeholder, worked with AVIC Automotive, a subsidiary of the Chinese state-owned Aviation Industry Corporation of China, to purchase Michigan-based Henniges Automotive in September 2015. The Wall Street Journal reported in February 2023 that AVIC subsidiary AVIC International Holding Corporation had shipped “$1.2 million worth of parts for Su-35 jet fighters” to sanctioned Russian defense conglomerate Rostec subsidiary Kret on...

On March 2, 2023, the people in control of the Joe Biden administration officially announced that government control of internet content was now an officially a part of the national security apparatus. [White House Link] If you have followed the history of how the Fourth Branch of Government has been created, you will immediately recognize the intent of this new framework. The “National Cybersecurity Strategy” aligns with, supports, and works in concert with a total U.S. surveillance system, where definitions of information are then applied to “cybersecurity” and communication vectors. This policy is both a surveillance system and an information...
