President Biden may cast his arrival in the White House as a return to business as usual at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, but there’s at least one way he’s breaking from prevailing presidential tradition: he wears a Rolex.At his inauguration, Mr. Biden laid his hand on the family Bible wearing a stainless steel Rolex Datejust watch with a blue dial, a model that retails for more than $7,000 and is a far cry from the Everyman timepieces that every president not named Trump has worn conspicuously in recent decades.To many, a president wearing a luxury watch might not seem unusual. Shouldn’t...

Pelosi, Schiff, and Biden have politicized a career intelligence community position by demanding the removal of a national security professional.Hours after President Joe Biden delivered his inaugural address promising to bring unity and healing to the country, his administration began a politically charged attack on a highly respected, newly appointed career intelligence official over fears he would be insufficiently loyal to Democratic partisans. The attempted purge has thus far followed the playbook publicly laid out by top Democrats and their left-wing media enablers. In a stunning violation of precedent, Biden’s National Security Agency (NSA) placed General Counsel Michael J. Ellis...

‘Catholic’ Biden marks Roe v. Wade anniversary with pledge to make abortion available for ‘everyone’In the past four years, reproductive health, including the right to choose, has been under relentless and extreme attack. We are deeply committed to making sure everyone has access to care — including reproductive health care.’WASHINGTON, D.C., January 22, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — President Joe Biden, who calls himself Catholic, marked the 48th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision that brought legal abortion to all of America with a pledge that he will make sure that “everyone” who wants it has access to...

Jill Biden gave National Guard troops chocolate chip cookies on Friday in a shameless photo op. The Biden Admin banished 5,000 troops to a cold parking garage in the dead of winter so Jill Biden is out doing some damage control while senile Joe hides. "I just wanted to come today to say thank you to all of you for keeping me and my family safe … The White House baked you some chocolate chip cookies,” Jill Biden said.

Two videos caught my attention this morning. One video was put out by the Biden Inaugural Committee. It features three former presidents at Joe Biden’s inauguration, all of whom are speaking from the same page. It’s all about peace and love now, baby. The other video was posted on Jill Biden’s Twitter account late last night. She thanks the people who put on “our” (meaning herself and Joe) inauguration. Both videos will test your level of tolerance for cringe-worthy political material. The three amigos were back together yesterday for Joe Biden’s inauguration – former presidents Clinton, G.W. Bush, and Barack...

President Joe Biden has many connections to Philadelphia, one being his link to the University of Pennsylvania and launching the Cancer Moonshot project from there five years ago. That effort has led to many cancer breakthroughs. The Cancer Moonshot project led to major federal funding for cancer, and now new treatments that are saving lives. “My goal is we find absolute cures,” Biden said in 2016. That was then-Vice President Biden at the University of Pennslyvania five years ago to kick off the Cancer Moonshot. “It’s a source of pride that the ribbon was cut here at the Abramson Cancer...

President Biden isn't backing a Democratic-led effort to get rid of the Senate's filibuster procedure as Senate leadership struggles to agree on a power-sharing deal. "He has spoken to this many times. His position has not changed," Psaki told reporters Friday. Biden, a 36-year senator who sat in the chamber in both the majority and minority, has reiterated his support for the filibuster. Removing the rule would mean Biden could pass his more controversial bills with the Democratic 50-seat majority plus Vice President Kamala Harris, rather than a supermajority of 60. Biden did tell the New York Times last summer...

Democrats across the country are suddenly changing their COVID-19 orders and rhetoric now that President Joe Biden is in office. Orders such as reduced or banned in-door dining at businesses look to be lifted soon. The groundwork for such a 180-degree turn was laid even before Biden was officially in office. On January 11, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has overseen one of the worst statewide response to the coronavirus, said he was no longer in favor of having a hard lockdown because of the negative effects of the economy. We simply cannot stay closed until the vaccine hits...

In October Biden attacked Trump for his handling of the China virus. Biden bragged about “having a plan” to combat the China Coronavirus. “We’re eight months into this pandemic, and Donald Trump still doesn’t have a plan to get this virus under control – I do,” Biden said in an October tweet. On Friday Joe Biden admitted there is nothing he can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months. What happened to his magical plan to crush the China virus right away?

Biden’s handler told him, via earpiece, to salute the marines.

President Joe Biden on Friday lowered expectations of his administration’s ability to affect the ongoing coronavirus pandemic in the coming months. Biden made the remark during a press conference addressing the signage of two more executive orders: one aimed at increasing food stamp benefits and the other for workers’ rights.

Joe Biden pledged to be a leader for all Americans in his inaugural address Wednesday as the 46th president of the United States, calling for unity and an end to the “uncivil war” that’s brewed over the last four years. But can he actually pull it off?

Haunted and numb in a horribly sanitized city. As I grabbed some coffee before heading to the Capitol Building to watch the 46th President of the United States of America take his title, the lovely lady behind the counter told me she had never seen anything like this in DC in her life. And all I can say as I stand here now in the freezing cold with a handful of others is that I hope America never has to see anything like this again. Nothing is as it seems. It is just horrible, in every sense. There is no...

President Joe Biden revoked a recent Trump administration report that aimed to promote “patriotic education” in schools but that historians mocked and rejected as political propaganda. In an executive order signed on Wednesday in his first day in office, Biden disbanded Donald Trump’s presidential 1776 Commission and withdrew a report it released Monday. Trump established the group in September to rally support from white voters and as a response to The New York Times’ “1619 Project,” which highlights the lasting consequences of slavery in America. In its report, which Trump hoped would be used in classrooms across the nation, the...

WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden will launch an array of initiatives on Thursday to rein in the raging coronavirus pandemic, tackling his top priority on his first full day in the White House as he tries to turn the page on Donald Trump’s tumultuous leadership. Biden will sign 10 executive orders to fight the pandemic, including ordering the use of disaster funds to help re-open schools and mandating the wearing of protective masks on planes and buses, officials said. The new Democratic president has put the pandemic at the top of a daunting list of challenges he faces in his...

On the eve of his inauguration, Politico published an article that contains an anecdote that is actually quite disturbing. For higher-profile remarks, [Biden would] obsessively rehearse portions until he committed them to memory. And at times through the various iterations of outlining remarks, Biden could grow downright ornery. “I would never say this,” Biden once snapped at an aide, aghast over the prepared remarks he was reviewing, according to a person in the room during a speech prep session last year. “Where did you get this from?’” The aide explained that Biden had just said it in a public speech...

In 1811, Tecumseh, the native American confederacy leader, and his men faced the United States military lead by William Henry Harrison. The battle at the Tippecanoe River ended in a defeat for Tecumseh and resulted in the death of his brother, Tenskwatawa. The battle meant to defend their territory from an aggressive American expansion to the west ended up in a horrific defeat for the Native Americans. Tecumseh died two years later in the Battle of the Thames in an effort to help the British in defeating the Americans, resulting in the collapse of the Native American confederacy. This is...

With just hours to go before his swearing-in, Joe Biden and his team have already started Wednesday with a blitz of announcements for Executive Orders that will be issued immediately. Following at least a week’s worth of media leaks teasing all the Biden “Day One” action items (Rejoin the Paris Accords, Keystone Pipeline, Halt the departure from the WTO, But mostly the massive immigration package that could create paths to citizenship for millions of illegal migrants), Biden is moving ahead with no fewer than 17 executive actions targeting Trump’s various policies. CNN reports there will be a total of 17...

We haven’t even officially begun the Biden Presidency and the Authoritarian Left is already calling on Joe to assert his newly gained power to create a “secret police” force to spy on “evil” Trump Supporters. Perhaps channeling the spirit of the Soviet NKVD, leftists are now calling for this new unit to be created at the federal level . In an article published by the Daily Beast, Jeff Stein argues that existing federal agencies like the FBI are ill-equipped to stop “white terror” because they missed signs of the the pre-planning of the Capitol building siege. The solution is to...
