Another election, another bust for Republicans. It turns out that voters don’t care about inflation, open borders, rampant crime or censorship…they care about abortion. Unhappily for Republicans, President Joe Biden was not on the Election 2023 ballot. The president’s epically low approval ratings did not sway voters in Virginia or Kentucky or New York. There was no referendum […]
New Yorkers have a lot of complaints. We vent about rampant shoplifting, out-of-control electric bikes, dirty streets, jammed-up traffic, and the soaring prices of everything. Migrants are taking over our hotels, the stink of weed is everywhere, and scaffolding darkens even the loveliest city blocks. For all these indignities, we tend to blame Governor Hochul […]
How foolish is it to put your name on an unpopular policy? That’s what Joe Biden insists on doing, taking personal ownership of an economy that voters detest. “Folks, ‘Bidenomics’ is just another way of saying the American Dream,” said President Biden at a recent campaign stop. But for many, Bidenomics seems like an ongoing nightmare. As a […]
Dean Phillips, the Minnesota congressman challenging Joe Biden for the Democratic Party’s nomination, is a grandson of the late Abigail Van Buren, the advice columnist known as “Dear Abby.” How appropriate that Phillips’ run is sending Democrats some valuable guidance: 1. Joe Biden is too old and could lose to Donald Trump. 2. The much-lauded cohesion in […]
Joe Biden is fighting the Fed. That’s the takeaway from the most recent report on the economy, showing that the third quarter grew more rapidly than expected in spite of rising interest rates. One reason is obvious: the president and his Democrat allies continue to pump up government spending, boosting growth, even as the Federal Reserve says […]
Let me get this straight: the culture warriors say it’s not OK to wear a sombrero on Halloween, but it’s OK to spew antisemitic tropes and back Hamas? We’re not allowed to celebrate Christopher Columbus, but we can celebrate the thugs who burn teenage girls alive? You can be canceled for getting a pronoun wrong, but you’re […]
In a new CNBC poll, only 31 percent of respondents approved of Joe Biden’s handling of foreign policy. Is anyone surprised? When Biden took office, the world was at peace and our enemies on guard. Today, the U.S. is embroiled in two wars — in Ukraine and Israel — and nervously awaits Chinese aggression against Taiwan. The White House, according to Axios […]
Joe Biden’s presidency is tracking Jimmy Carter’s four years in the Oval Office so faithfully it must give his campaign team hives. Recent events in Israel create even more parallels. It was a Middle East crisis that brought down Jimmy Carter’s presidency; the current conflict in the region could prove Biden’s undoing as well. In 1979, more […]
Critics of Joe Biden are furious that in his denunciations of the terror attacks on Israel he has not once mentioned Iran. They don’t get it. If Biden blames Tehran for masterminding and funding the horrific killings of Israeli citizens, he will have to take the next step, which is to punish Iran’s leaders for the senseless barbarism. That next step would […]
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is giving Democrats fits. The son of former Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of President John F. Kennedy recently declared himself an independent and is running for president. Why should that alarm his former Party? Three reasons: President Biden is vulnerable on many fronts. His policies on the economy, […]
