Joe Biden should cancel his upcoming summit with Vladimir Putin. There is little chance of the American president scoring any significant diplomatic breakthroughs, and every chance he could embarrass himself. In fact, he already has. When Biden first proposed that the two leaders meet, in his second phone call with Putin, the Russian president was noncommittal. The hesitancy […]
Joe Biden has a China problem. According to a recent Rasmussen report, nearly 70% of U.S. voters believe it is likely that COVID-19 originated in a Chinese laboratory. Americans are angry and they want answers; they expect Biden to provide them. As new evidence surfaces that the pandemic was probably caused by lab experiments gone […]
Paul Krugman declared in a recent New York Times column that Republicans are threatening “America’s democratic experiment.” He followed up that declaration with a series of nonsensical scenarios not worth repeating. What is worth repeating is Krugman’s assertion that the “Biden team” includes nearly every “genuine expert on tax policy, labor markets, etc.,” a welcome […]
Don’t look now, but the Joe Biden progressive juggernaut is grinding to a halt. Thank heavens. All it took was typical Democrat overreach – pack the court! DC statehood! Ditch the filibuster! $6 trillion in new spending! – and a healthy surge in inflation to sink Biden’s ambitions to become the next FDR. Poor Joe, […]
New Yorkers could be about to do something radical. They may kick progressivism to the curb, where it belongs. With luck, other cities will soon follow. New York voters will likely choose Eric Adams to be the Democratic nominee for mayor. Should Adams, Brooklyn Borough president and a former cop, win his party’s nomination in the June […]
America, something is wrong. At a moment when people should be feeling upbeat, liberated and hopeful, optimism has cratered. How could that happen? Maybe it’s because the country has awakened to this: Donald Trump is no longer in the White House creating offensive tweets, but instead we have Joe Biden there creating offensive policies. That’s […]
Who cares about Liz Cheney? Other than a few diehard “Never Trumpers,” nobody. Fellow Republicans may bounce the Wyoming representative from her job as their conference chair; that is their right. Cheney represents a state that Donald Trump won by more than 40 percentage points, and it is unlikely that voters in Wyoming have turned en […]
Joe Biden wants to be the next FDR. Some fear he’s the second coming of Jimmy Carter. Former President Jimmy Carter is best remembered as presiding over “stagflation” at home and humiliation abroad. Taking office at a time of economic distress, the one-time peanut farmer from Georgia failed to inspire Americans and was bounced after only four years. Some wonder whether Biden will follow the same path. […]
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen stepped in it big time on Monday when she warned: “It may be that interest rates will have to rise somewhat to make sure that our economy doesn’t overheat.” This was a major goof. Yellen inadvertently handed Republicans yet another powerful weapon in their quest to retake control of Congress in 2022: […]
Well, this is confusing. After a year of slamming the United States as “systemically racist,” President Biden now says, “I don’t think the American people are racist.” Come again? How can country be racist if its people are not? A country is not defined by skyscrapers or cattle ranches or foundries. It is not defined by spacious skies and amber plains, or […]
