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 […]
Pelosi says inquiry into Biden is a ‘waste of time’
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called House Republicans’ efforts to open an impeach inquiry into President Joe Biden a “waste of time.” “This is frivolous.

Biden’s economy looks good on paper, but we’re not feeling it
The United States economy is finally showing signs of significant improvement, much to the relief of President Joe Biden, but one area has challenged a total economic victory for his administration. Last week, the Commerce Department announced surprisingly strong numbers for the second quarter of 2023. Gross domestic product (GDP), adjusted for inflation, grew beyond […]
Biden incandescent light bulb ban begins today
America’s ban on incandescent light bulbs, 16 years in the making, is finally a reality. Well, mostly. A rule issued in 2007, rolled back by the Trump administration, and updated last year by the Biden administration, effectively bans the sale of common incandescent light bulbs. The rule went fully into effect Tuesday, August 1. The […]
UPS strike set for 1 week away will cost billions
In one week, unionized workers at UPS will walk out if a labor agreement isn’t reached — an action that would have major economic consequences. UPS and the Teamsters union have been in contract negotiations for months, with the union overwhelmingly voting to strike if a deal isn’t inked by July 31. Now, with just […]
Beware; Biden is coming for your water heater
Water heaters could soon be subject to much more stringent efficiency requirements if a recent Department of Energy proposal that has been criticized by Republican lawmakers goes into effect.

The White House will establish a national monument honoring Emmett Till — the 14-year-old Chicago boy whose abduction, torture and lynching in 1955 while visiting family in Mississippi played a role in sparking the civil rights movement — and his late mother. President Biden will sign a proclamation on Tuesday, the 82nd anniversary of […]
Biden’s US Chip Manufacturer Delays Production
Chipmaking giant Taiwan Semiconductor (TSMC) has delayed the start of production at its factory in the US state of Arizona, in a setback to President Biden’s technology ambitions.
