In a move that will undoubtedly hurt American energy independence, outgoing President Joe Biden has imposed a sweeping ban on offshore oil and gas drilling in most federal waters. This latest decision effectively shuts down vital energy resources, pushing the country further away from energy self-sufficiency. Despite soaring gas prices and growing calls to increase domestic production, the Biden Administration is doubling down on its progressive green agenda at the expense of American workers and families. Critics argue that this ban will stifle economic growth, jeopardize jobs, and leave the U.S. even more reliant on foreign energy sources. Just hours...

Ever see a drunk asked to leave a nice restaurant? It doesn’t have to have been in person, you’ve likely seen it in a movie or a TV show; something where the person is asked nicely, but forcefully, to leave and they cause a huge scene as they walk to the door – knocking over drinks, bumping into people, being very loud, etc. That guy is Joe Biden. The current President of the United States and his administration are going to go out like a destructive drunk and it should lead not only to the destruction of his legacy, but...

Earlier this year, Rep. James E. Clyburn met President Joe Biden at the White House to deliver a stern message: Biden had to find a way to revitalize his flagging campaign. Clyburn, who had been pivotal to Biden’s 2020 victory, also made a confession about his own long-standing belief that substance is more important than style in politics. “I have come to the conclusion in recent days that I’m wrong about that,” the South Carolina Democrat, 84, remembers telling Biden. “The new environment that we currently live in — style seems to carry the day more than substance.” “Your style,”...

Ms. Davis is the author of “Dear Mom and Dad: A Letter About Family, Memory and the America We Once Knew.” Her father was President Ronald Reagan.We are now in the final weeks of Joe Biden’s presidency, and I’ve been thinking about the year he had — how different it was from what he hoped last winter as he sought re-election. All presidents think about what they wanted to achieve, in the end, and how Americans will regard them. For some of us, our most vivid memory right now of Mr. Biden is from his televised debate against Donald Trump...

Say, remember when the government and the media treated the lab-leak hypothesis of COVID-19's origin as a conspiracy theory? At the time, social-media platforms suppressed discussion and debate over that explanation. The media treating anyone who noticed that a deadly and novel coronavirus had emerged in the same place where biologists just so happened to be conducting gain-of-function research on --ta da! -- coronaviruses.The question of origin became so important to foreign policy and epidemiological strategy that Joe Biden ordered the US intel community to do an analysis to pin down the origins of the deadly pandemic. That review concluded...

President Biden has less than a month to go until his one-term presidency ends, and he is feeling reflective. He is voicing regrets about his decision not to sign his name to Covid relief checks and about his longtime reputation — once considered a virtue — of being the poorest lawmaker in Congress. And now, with a planned visit to meet with Pope Francis at the Vatican next month, the president is signaling that he may have additional issues on his mind. The visit, White House officials said as they issued a readout on Mr. Biden’s call with the pope...

REPORT: Biden made military families of troops k*lled in Afghanistan wait three hours while he “napped” on Air Force One on the tarmac, according to the Daily Mail. According to family members who spoke to the outlet, Biden “couldn’t pull it together.”

Recent UFO and drone sightings over New Jersey have sparked a wave of speculation—but what if this isn’t about aliens at all? As a PSYOPS expert, I’ll break down how to spot the signs of a psychological operation (psyop) and uncover whether these events are part of a larger, planned agenda. Are these sightings a cover-up, a distraction, or something even more sinister? Watch as we expose the truth behind these mysterious lights in the sky and dive into the tactics used to manipulate public perception. Don’t let yourself be fooled. The truth might be closer than you think. 🔍...

The government shuts down at midnight, and the only thing on Joe Biden’s schedule is a visit to Children’s National Hospital in Washington. The spending fight centers around the maneuvering of House speaker Mike Johnson, President-elect Donald Trump, the House Freedom Caucus, the Senate, “First Buddy” Elon Musk — nobody’s even asking, “What does Biden think?” We’ve all just accepted that Biden isn’t really running his own White House, that he’s now just a mumbling geriatric who communicates to the country through issued statements, like an announcement that he’s commuted the sentence of “non-violent offenders” that included a Maryland woman...

[Catholic Caucus] Joe Biden to meet with Pope Francis at the Vatican just days before he leaves White HouseThe Biden team has announced that the outgoing president is slated to meet with Francis in the Vatican on January 10, just days before his tenure in the White House comes to a close.Before being shown the door at the White House on January 20 next year, Joe Biden will make one last trip to Italy to spend time with Pope Francis at the latter’s request. On Thursday, Biden had a phone call with Francis to discuss what the White House called...

White House aides covered up President Biden’s apparent mental decline from Day 1 of his presidency, shielding the aging commander-in-chief from the public and even rearranging his schedule after scatterbrained performances, an explosive report revealed Thursday. The lack of access to the nation’s oldest-ever president has been well known in Washington — with Biden hosting the fewest large press conferences in modern history and frequently descending into gaffes at the podium when he appeared — but how much the White House made up for the haziness had until now been hidden, according to aides, Democratic lawmakers and donors who spoke...

President Biden has declared his support for banning sitting members of Congress from trading stock — an eleventh-hour pivot after four years of silence over the controversy. “Nobody in the Congress should be able to make money in the stock market while they’re in the Congress,” Biden told the “More Perfect Union” podcast. “I don’t know how you look your constituents in the eye and know because of the job they gave you, gave you an inside track to make more money,” Biden said, adding: “I think we should be changing the law.” .....

REVEALED: DHS Under Secretary for Policy Confesses Trump Win Is "Traumatic" and a "Crushing Blow" to the Biden Administration; Reveals Biden’s Mental Decline ‘Accelerated 12 to 24 Months’ into Biden’s Presidency During meetings in the White House, Under Secretary Robert P. Silvers admitted there were times where "he’s [Biden] in there, and it’s a blank." "[Biden] just can’t get the words out."

Joe Biden has never attended an Army-Navy football game while serving as the president of the United States. Will that change today? That's a question many people are asking this Saturday. Biden elected to skip out on attending the Army-Navy game in 2021, 2022 and 2023. Obviously, that didn't sit well with most Americans. They believe every president should attend this matchup. It's basically a tradition at this point. On Friday night, President-elect Donald Trump announced on social media that he'll be watching this afternoon's game at Northwest Stadium. He tweeted, "Will be going to the Army/Navy Game tomorrow to...

President Joe Biden leaves office in 36 days not with a bang but a resentful whimper, an opinion piece in the Washington Post argued Sunday. The op-ed by Cleve R. Wootson Jr. is headlined “Biden touts his legacy, but frustration seeps through.” It looks back over Biden’s years in office and posits that for all his ambitions, the Biden legacy will be shallow and marked more by bitter disappointment than overarching achievement made evident since his defenestration at the hands of his own Democratic party.

The White House has confirmed that lame-duck President Joe Biden is trying to funnel “as much funding as possible” to “climate change” groups as he can before his term ends next month. The Biden administration is seeking to rapidly disperse taxpayer-funded climate cash before President Donald Trump is sworn in to power. Biden is hoping to cement his green energy agenda before Trump assumes the Oval Office in January. In a memo released by the White House, Jeff Zients, Biden’s chief of staff, boasted that the president is pumping as much climate cash “as possible before the end of the...

Gaslighting as usual, the White House is telling Americans freaked out by the drones hovering ominously over parts of New York and New Jersey: Everything’s fine! Just trust us! Since the first known spotting Nov. 18, at least 3,000 sightings have followed in New Jersey alone, and it’s spread to Staten Island and The Bronx. Guesses as to what’s going on proliferate, some more believable than others: more Chinese surveillance, launches from an Iranian mothership parked off the East Coast, and so on. Is this a case for Fox Mulder and Dana Scully? Pushed by local leaders to address exactly...

The Biden administration is reportedly spending their final weeks quietly clearing away unused southern border wall materials to put up for auction — a move characterized by some lawmakers as an apparent ploy to sabotage President-elect Donald Trump’s goal to secure the US-Mexico border. Alarming footage taken by a US Customs and Border Agent captured numerous flatbed trucks hauling away dismantled sections of the steel wall near Tucson, Arizona – a hotspot for illegal crossings – with the agent estimating a half-mile’s worth of parts are being removed daily, The Daily Wire reported. “They are taking it from three sections:...

The Executive’s pardon power is meant to be about justice, but Biden’s plans show that he intends to use it to conquer America in the name of leftism. SNIP Joe Biden, who, unlike Sherman, Napoleon, Hannibal, or Caesar, will be forgotten the moment he exits the stage, is nonetheless looking at the scorched earth policy with a keen eye. Biden, the politician who’s never had a job that didn’t come from the government, has contempt for the Republic. For him, America, and in particular the government, is just a vehicle for accumulating power and money. The man is an inveterate...

Joe Biden on Wednesday delivered remarks at the White House Conference on Women’s Health Research. Biden told the attendees that doctors opened up the top of his head twice and couldn’t find a brain. Joe Biden had multiple brain surgeries in the 1980s after suffering two brain aneurysms. “I have been a beneficiary of a lot of the research that’s been done. I had two cranial aneurysms; I had two nine-hour operations — they took the top of my head off twice and couldn’t find a brain the first time.” WATCH:
