President Biden will address a joint session of some of Congress tonight. As a public service, here’s a translation into plain English of what he’s likely to say. The President will gloat about the booming U.S. economy. Translation: Unchecked government spending is creating a sugar-high that actually imperils the dollar as the world’s reserve currency…
John Kerry has repeatedly betrayed our country and vital interests. Notably, he did it as a Vietnam veteran who undermined the war effort. As Obama’s Secretary of State, he was so assiduously supportive of the mullahs in the disastrous Iran nuclear deal negotiations that European allies derided him as “the Iranians’ lawyer.” Now, Iran’s foreign…
Each passing day brings more calls to “defund,” “reform,” “reimagine” and even “abolish” the police. The enforcers of such demands are violent rioters who accuse law enforcement officers of “systemic racism” in instances where lethal force was employed in interactions with minority individuals. We’re told Congress, not the communities affected, should set standards for policing.…
More than 500 people reportedly face prosecution for an alleged “insurrection” at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th. What’s wrong with this picture? First, it seems to be a prodigious misallocation of resources in furtherance of a false narrative and amounts to partisan political warfare against the Democrats’ opposition. Second, it strongly contrasts with the…
Today, President Biden will meet virtually with adversaries like China’s Xi Jinping and Russia’s Vladimir Putin and dozens of other nations’ leaders. The ostensible purpose will be to demonstrate international resolve to address so-called “climate change.” In practice, this meeting will, like previous ones, feature U.S. commitments to dismantle our energy sector so as to…
President Biden and Vice President Harris seized on Derek Chauvin’s conviction yesterday for murdering George Floyd as proof that America is “systemically racist.” That insidious and false narrative happens to be one aggressively promoted by what is, indisputably, the most systemically racist country in the world: Communist China. The Chinese Communist Party incessantly denounces America’s…
America’s allies in the Middle East are preparing for war, thanks in part to the growing danger they face from an Islamist Iran emboldened by the new Biden-Harris administration. They are right to do so and their warnings should prompt an urgent course-correction by the U.S. government. The latest such alarm was sounded on Sunday…
Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin’s trial may well end this week without his conviction on charges of murdering George Floyd. If so, Marxist groups like Antifa and Black Lives Matter appear prepared to seize upon such an outcome to engage in violence there and in cities across the country. On Saturday, Congresswoman Maxine Waters…
President Biden holds today his first face-to-face meeting with a foreign leader since taking office. He and Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga must use the occasion to deter our common enemy, the Chinese Communist Party, from invading Taiwan. Two factors demand action to that end by these allied nations, not just empty rhetoric and posturing…
An international treaty obliges signatories to punish a nation that perpetrates genocide. The question at the moment is whether Communist China – which the U.S. State Department, among others, has determined is genocidally repressing millions of Uyghur Muslims and others – will be rewarded for doing so? That would be the practical effect of moving…
Another incident of a black man dying in Minneapolis in the course of an altercation with police has triggered a new wave of so-called “mostly peaceful” protests – accompanied by rioting, looting and other violence. It is happening as the city breathlessly awaits the outcome of the trial of former officer Derek Chauvin accused of…
The world just got more dangerous. A reality that has developed inexorably over decades became palpable last night, and its repercussions are likely to be far-reaching and ominous. On Tucker Carlson’s nighttime program Monday, former Congresswoman Tusli Gabbard described the horrific consequences of a nuclear war with Russia over Ukraine. By so doing, she at…
Joe Biden’s gun-control announcement on Friday perfectly captures how dangerous is his presidency. First, as usual, he lied about the nature of his initiative. In this case, he asserted that it’s completely consistent with the Second Amendment’s guarantee of the right to bear arms. Wrong. Second, Biden exposed the falsity of his putatively moderate façade…
“Managed decline” is a euphemism for the proposition that the United States is a terminally waning power and must accommodate itself to the inevitable rise of Communist China and the realization of a global socialist “reset” favored by so-called “woke capitalists.” Elites of both parties have long embraced this idea and many of its adherents…
A former leader of the Tea Party movement and legislator uniquely knowledgeable about U.S. fiscal policy and taxation issued a sobering warning yesterday on Steve Bannon’s War Room Pandemic program. Michele Bachmann declared, “We are now facing an act of war against the people of the United States.” Specifically, she accused the Biden-Harris administration of…
The installation of the Biden-Harris administration with its radical leftist policy agenda and corresponding personnel choices seems poised to prove with a vengeance the adage that “Elections have consequences.” For example, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris expressed sympathy for those who perpetrated last summer’s violent rioting across the country. They seem inattentive to the…
Democrats in Washington and their partisans in the media and corporate headquarters are relentlessly attacking legislation recently enacted for the purpose of restoring election integrity in Georgia. They insist it would suppress minority votes. That’s manifestly not true. But the lie is nonetheless being pushed in the service of suppressing something else – namely, free…
Hunter Biden, the President’s surviving son, has launched a promotional tour for a memoir designed to evoke sympathy for his addictions and other demons. It’s also calculated to deflect attention from his serious misdeeds and apparently illegal activity. Amazingly, he actually got paid a $3 million advance for this instrument of political sleight-of-hand. Particularly troubling…
President Biden’s new, multi-trillion dollar infrastructure initiative proves a shocking reality: We’re in the midst of a Marxist takeover of America. Through what’s billed as a visionary upgrade of the nation’s crumbling infrastructure, the Biden-Harris team seeks to impose its radical climate change agenda, a fundamental transformation of our energy sector and the effective institution…
President Biden just doubled down on the wrecking operation he is conducting against the U.S. military. The cumulative effect of his administration’s sustained assault on our armed forces is as predictable as was his dismantling of our border security policy and programs: It will needlessly endanger this country and the American people. Under Secretary of…
