McCarthy will back Biden impeach inquiry
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is expected to tell fellow House Republicans this week that he backs an impeachment inquiry into President Biden, two sources familiar with the speaker’s plan confirmed. McCarthy plans to say to his GOP colleagues that opening the impeachment inquiry into the president is the “logical next step” in the investigations into […]
Biden approved green firm has deep ties to China
A California-based energy company the Biden administration greenlit for a Michigan electric vehicle battery plant project has considerable ties to the Chinese Communist Party — a revelation national security experts and Republicans warn is deeply alarming. Gotion Inc. plans to invest $2.4 billion in two EV battery plants in Big Rapids, Michigan with the support […]
Gas prices soar under Biden administration
Gas prices remain high across the country despite slower demand and weaker inflation, an issue that could become critical for President Joe Biden ahead of the 2024 election, analysts have told Newsweek. When Biden took office in January 2021, gas prices were an average of $2.4 per gallon across the country, according to historical data […]
Biden to take the ‘short stairs” to Air Force 1
It’s one of the iconic images of the American presidency: the commander in chief, standing and waving to the cameras from the top of the stairs leading into Air Force One. But recently, President Biden has been avoiding climbing up the sometimes-wobbly 18-foot staircase that is trucked over to the plane’s upper door. More often […]
Biden’s press team reeling after Maui gaffes
Joe Biden’s communications team is under pressure after the president made a number of apparent gaffes during his visit to Maui, including struggling to pronounce the names of local politicians and suggesting he empathized with islanders because he almost lost his ’67 Corvette in a minor house fire. The president visited Maui on Monday with […]

This summer break Dems are selling Bidenomics
Congressional Democrats are looking to use this summer’s five-week recess to cultivate support for President Joe Biden ahead of next year’s election by pitching “Bidenomics” to constituents across the country. But the party faces an uphill battle in promoting this message to a public that is still anxious over the state of America’s post-COVID economy […]
White House evades questions as Biden hides from press
The White House has largely avoided publicly answering questions from reporters for more than two weeks as legal headaches for President Joe Biden continue to mount. Biden started August vacationing at his family home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, before briefly returning to Washington, D.C., on Monday, Aug. 7. The president did hold a public event […]
White House cocaine story swept under the rug
The public has a right to know details about the bag of cocaine found in the White House on July 2. It should not be a closed case, even though the Secret Service claims it can’t identify the culprit. The claim is on its face nonsense. Can there be any corner of the White […]
Is Bidenomics for real? Or are we being fooled?
President Joe Biden is frustrated. Unemployment has fallen to a healthy 3.6%, the economy is growing at a decent 2.4% rate, and inflation has fallen to 3%. And yet despite all this good economic news, the vast majority of voters rate the economy as poor and blame Biden for its sorry state. What gives? One […]
Biden says US credit downgrade is GOP’s fault
The Biden administration has been making the case that the economy is slowly improving. Inflation has steadily inched back down toward 2021 levels, unemployment has hovered around 4% for over a year, and the Federal Reserve finally announced in July that it no longer expects a recession in the near future. Still, Fitch specifically cited […]
