Americans were treated yesterday to a rhetorical brawl between U.S. and Chinese officials in Alaska. Unfortunately, we better get used to it because the Biden team’s relatively robust words are not backed up by action. Instead, the President insists on deflecting attention from the most serious threat ever – namely that posed by the Chinese…

The U.S. Senate will soon consider S.1, a bill that would impose, nationally and permanently, voting arrangements proven to facilitate electoral fraud. Officially known as the “For the People Act,” this fatally flawed legislation has earned a new nickname: “The Corrupt Politicians Act.” Your Senators should feel duty-bound to oppose this egregious bill by the…

Moves to limit or abandon a mechanism for ensuring the U.S. Senate’s minority party can shape legislation have long been known as “the nuclear option.” That’s because the legislative filibuster keeps Congress’ upper chamber from operating like the House of Representatives, where a simple majority governs, and its demise would figuratively “blow up” the Senate…

It’s becoming conventional wisdom that the Biden-Harris administration and its radical leftist congressional allies are alarmingly overreaching. Consequently, Republicans assure us that they will win the 2022 elections and quickly reverse the outrages swiftly being put into place by the current, slender Democratic majority. There’s just one problem with this scenario: The so-called “For the…

Biden administration officials are holding important meetings this month that present much-needed opportunities to address the growing threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party. A lot is riding on these conversations. The read-out from one the President held Friday with key allied leaders was not encouraging. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan signaled that it wasn’t…

The patronizing attitude of the Biden administration and its allies on Capitol Hill was on display in the President’s first address to the nation last night. It focused on the Covid-19 pandemic and the main theme was what the good boys and girls in America need to do to live something approximating normal lives, including,…

Joe Biden addresses the nation in prime-time tonight about his response to the pandemic the Chinese Communist Party unleashed on this country and the rest of the world. Yet, you’re unlikely to hear him mention the source of the ensuing catastrophe. Another example of Biden-Harris efforts to appease Beijing is its tortured acknowledgement that the…

On Monday, Joe Biden’s State Department spokesman attempted to explain that his administration agrees that the Chinese Communist Party used to be engaged in genocide against Uyghur Muslims and other ethnic minorities. But it isn’t saying whether the CCP is still doing so. Now, there’s no evidence that anything has changed in western China. Scores…

Joe Biden couldn’t remember yesterday the name of his Secretary of Defense, or even that of the Pentagon in which he works. This is, unfortunately, not an isolated “senior moment” of forgetfulness. It is now part of pattern of behavior that dates back to his nearly invisible role in the 2020 campaign, a pattern that…

Keith Ellison is the Attorney General of Minnesota. He is also a socialist with extensive ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. That background intensifies concerns that General Ellison may have invited a wave of violence in his own state – and possibly across the country – at the hands of other radical leftists. Ellison appears to…

Yesterday, the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee approved and sent to the full Senate the nomination of President Biden’s pick to be the next Secretary of the Interior Department. Her name is Congresswoman Deb Haaland and House of Representatives approved Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s top priority on a straight party line vote. By so doing,…

It’s becoming clear that the Biden-Harris administration and its congressional allies are engaged in what can only be called a wrecking operation. The cumulative impact of a raft of presidential executive orders, policy changes and legislative initiatives is a debilitating assault on the Constitution, our freedoms and the national security. At risk are, among other…

U.S. Marines are renowned for there being “No better friend, no worse enemy.” The Biden-Harris administration seems, however, to want foreigners to conclude that, as in the Obama-Biden years, it is better to be America’s enemy than its friend. Consider Joe Biden’s efforts to undo his predecessor’s generally successful Mideast policies. From the get-go, he’s…

Our 45th President had his audience and tens of millions of others of us at “Hello” when he memorably addressed the Conservative Political Action Conference yesterday. Donald Trump asked, “Do you miss me yet?” and a resounding affirmative answer rang out across the land – and became even more heartfelt in the course of the…

House Democrats are expected today to approve a $1.9 trillion legislative Christmas tree masquerading as a crisis response to the ongoing pandemic. President Biden insists that every dime is urgently needed, asking rhetorically what would anyone propose be left out. Sean Hannity responded last night by noting that only 9% of this massive spending bill…

Some House Democrats are expressing concerns about President Biden’s authority to launch a nuclear attack. They think he should have to consult with the Vice President and the Speaker of the House before taking such a step. This initiative is a two-fer for America’s hard leftists. First, unilaterally dismantling U.S. nuclear capabilities has long been…
