The Biden administration can’t escape the blame for higher prices. And that’s why it must try to redirect voters’ anger. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon mentioned “inflation” more than 20 times in his annual report to shareholders, released Monday. And he warned that the Federal Reserve’s response — raising interest rates to cool spending — could...
It’s no coincidence or “rare practice”— and it’s certainly not a case of “conservatives pounce.” The recent spate of incidents involving squatters is part of a concerted effort to undermine property rights. That includes the March death of a woman in New York, who was allegedly murdered and dismembered by teens who had been squatting...
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul knows she has spooked her state’s business community. That’s why she went on a talk show last week to calm their very legitimate fears that they would be next. If former President Donald Trump can be prosecuted and fined hundreds of millions of dollars for a common business practice, who is...
“It was always headed here” — to a rematch between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, according to Politico’s Adam Wren. “But in the span of a few days, the wrinkled and sagging reality staring the nation in the face has become the defining issue of the 2024 campaign,” he went on, citing Special Counsel Robert Hur’s...
Public money should pay for public functions, not the activities of private labor unions. It’s one of the most corrupt and unlawful ways that the government provides favors to political benefactors and preferred special interests. In a practice called “release time,” governments allow labor unions to use other people’s money to pay for politically connected special interests...
Democrats have no moral high-ground on the issue. The worst tragedies are the preventable ones. Last week, a mother and two children drowned in the treacherous Rio Grande near Eagle Pass, attempting to cross into the U.S. illegally. The Biden administration was quick to blame the state of Texas, but the facts are clear: Biden...
The simple fact is that American families are worse off under President Biden – and the spin can’t hide that. “All good—” President Joe Biden said about the economy, bristling at a reporter’s question on Christmas Eve. “Take a look. Start reporting it the right way.” Even Biden’s allies in the media are doing their...
The vice president came to Houston last week to tout the Biden administration’s record to Latinos. She had nothing to say about the border crisis or the economy. Voters noticed. Trumpeting the Biden administration’s record to Latinos in Houston last week, Vice President Kamala Harris ignored the two biggest issues Hispanics — and everyone else...
In the Anti-Defamation League’s new report on antisemitism, published less than a week after Hamas’ horrific attacks on Israeli civilians, the group naturally ties race-based attacks to Donald Trump. Not mentioned are the campus radicals who have chased and assaulted Jewish students, nor the “Squad” members of Congress who can’t bring themselves to condemn terrorism, nor the Ivy League administrations that won’t condemn...
Open enrollment has begun for the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and CNN is quick to report that despite premiums continuing to skyrocket, federal subsidies “will protect most enrollees.” But Christopher Briggs, a father in Virginia, just wants to know who’s going to protect his family from Obamacare itself. “Joe Biden ran an ad when he...
A culture of death is stalking our nation. Yet as some states work to expand assisted suicide, make abortion limitless (and free), and to ensure that children are able to be sterilized with surgeries and hormone treatments, Texas is creating—and celebrating—a culture of life. In some states, activists are working to expand physician-assisted suicide laws...
On the day before the federal government’s sale of offshore wind leases in the Gulf of Mexico, the tech website Electrek published an optimistic piece about the topic: “Despite headwinds, offshore wind will see ‘massive’ growth to 2032.” But the strength of those headwinds was made clear on Tuesday, when the feds received exactly zero...
