Two recent stories were so crazy that they made me step back and take a good look at how our enemies around the world must see us in the age of President Joe Biden. First, a story by Reuters and others reported that most of the aid being sent to Gaza through the American-funded pier was in fact being stolen. …

Donald Trump did not lose on Thursday. Our once venerated legal system did. And, by extension, all Americans lost something precious. Because the failure of justice is a failure of the people. The conviction of the former president in a Manhattan courtroom was preordained. With the inexorable verdict, the ideals of a fair trial and an impartial jury faded into …

If President Joe Biden wins, your taxes will go up. It doesn’t matter if you’re a millionaire or middle class: the president has promised to raise taxes on every American who pays them. This would be bad for families struggling with inflation, bad for the economy, and it would be a massive expansion of the government at the last time …

Unfortunately, this rush ignores the most important aspect of energy policy: national security. If you don’t have security, nothing else matters. Just ask Ukraine. And there are three key features of the “energy transition” …

As unlikely as it seemed four years ago, former President Donald Trump is the odds-on favorite to win the presidential election if it were held today. In presidential politics, things could change in a day with a court ruling, a scandal, a misstep or just a great campaign, but that’s the clear reality of today. Trump is leading President Biden …

The propaganda media and the Joe Biden campaign have a big challenge. They must somehow create advertisements (and news stories) designed to make the American people believe things that are demonstrably false. The best example of this is the Biden-media message on inflation. Virtually every major poll identifies inflation and rising prices as the biggest challenges facing Americans. (Getty images …

What a spectacle.As the Trump defense team summed up its case in downtown Manhattan, the Biden administration sent an actor — Robert De Niro — outside the courthouse to play political surrogate in a street press conference.In one of De Niro’s better recent performances, the actor morphed from politicized thespian to Manhattan street crazy before our eyes.All that was missing …

An expired crime that’s no crime at all. A mysterious secondary crime that was shrouded incognito.A lying witness and convicted perjurer who is also a thief.
