The overlapping roles are under scrutiny as the president distances himself from his family’s dealings. For years, Joe Biden shared a bookkeeper with his son, Hunter. He also shared a personal lawyer with his brother, Jim. And when Jim Biden wanted to know more about one of Hunter Biden’s associates, he hired the former head of Joe Biden’s Secret Service detail to investigate. Since 2019, Joe Biden has repeatedly distanced himself from his family’s business dealings, saying that he has never so much as discussed them with his relatives or with anyone else. But House impeachment inquiry interviews, public records...

In this short video, VDH discusses the lies that the Democrats are selling that are destroying the economy, the middle class, the military and the moral fabric of America.

If Biden and his handlers have taught us anything, human nature cannot be fooled, and the current four-year experiment will have to end before it ends us—and soon. Do not expect the radical left to survey the wreckage of socialism and communism in history and accept that statism impoverishes people and erodes their freedoms. There will never be admissions by our elite that progressivism exists mainly for the acquisition of power by the utopian and virtue-signaling few, who ensure that they are never subject to the baleful implementation of their ideological agendas on the rest of us. Still, leftists look...

Border Patrol agents in California have been told to release migrants from over 100 countries into the US, despite the Biden administration’s new border ‘crackdown’, according to a leaked memo obtained by The Post. Migrants from all but six countries in what border patrol calls the ‘eastern hemisphere’ – made up of Africa, Asia, Australia, and Europe – who cross illegally into the San Diego border sector will be released into the US according to the memo, first reported by the Washington Examiner. [cut] President Biden’s new border rules went into effect last Wednesday and mean new asylum applications will...

Why isn't Biden moving?

An industry group says the Biden administration’s new staffing regulations for long-term care facilities are unrealistic. The mandate requires that all nursing homes that receive Medicare and Medicaid funding provide a total of at least 3.48 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Plus, nursing homes must have a registered nurse onsite at all times. Research by SeniorLiving.org shows 82%, or nearly 12,000 facilities in the U.S., will need to hire staff or face being shut down. Spokesperson Corie Wagner said Illinois is home to the fifth highest number of understaffed nursing homes in the country. “If we were...

Veteran top Democratic consultant James Carville says he wishes President Biden wasn’t running for re-election and worries that disenchanted young party voters will sit out the November election because of it. “It isn’t the choice I was crazy about,” admitted Carville, who played a major role in getting former President Clinton first elected in 1992, on 77 WABC radio’s “The Cats Roundtable” on Sunday. “I thought that President Biden should not run for re-election,” the political guru said. “But he did — it’s him and Trump — and that’s where I am.” Carville argued that the Democrats have a deep...

Former President Donald Trump is within striking distance of President Joe Biden in blue Minnesota, according to a poll taken after his conviction in the Manhattan business records trial. The Star Tribune/MPR News/KARE 11 poll, published Monday, finds that Biden leads with 45 percent of support among likely voters in a three-way race with Trump and independent Robert Kennedy Jr. Trump garners 41 percent of the response, followed by Kennedy Jr. at 6 percent. Biden’s edge on Trump falls just outside the ± 3.5 percentage point margin of error. New: President Joe Biden holds a 45-41% lead over former President...

James Biden on Monday attended Hunter Biden’s gun trial in Wilmington, Delaware. James Biden is President Joe Biden’s younger brother and family business associate. Both Hunter and James Biden were criminally referred to the Justice Department last week for allegedly lying to Congress about the family business. James Biden’s companies received at least 20 wires totaling $1,398,999 through Hunter’s entities, according to the 2020 Senate Report by Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson.

Nothing democrats do or say or try is stopping Trump. They're willing to rip up the Constitution and tear apart the country to do it. Nothing is working. They tried a fake dossier in 2016. They stole the election in 2020 by creating a false narrative about Hunter Biden's laptop. They concocted a scheme in New York City that's so confusing no democrat can really tell you what happened. They got their conviction after a handpicked Trump hating democrat donor judge guided a jury to convict Trump and made sure his daughter would continue to profit from the trial. And...

WASHINGTON — Biden administration officials have discussed potentially negotiating a unilateral deal with Hamas to secure the release of five Americans being held hostage in Gaza if current cease-fire talks involving Israel fail, according to two current senior U.S. officials and two former senior U.S. officials. Such negotiations would not include Israel and would be conducted through Qatari interlocutors, as current talks have been, said the officials, all of whom have been briefed on the discussions. The officials did not know what the United States might give Hamas in exchange for the release of American hostages. But, the officials said,...

Bill Maher is still a Democrat and he's probably going to vote for Joe Biden, if he votes at all, because of his Trump Derangement Syndrome. But the funny thing is, he keeps giving everyone else great reasons why they shouldn't. And he believes that Biden is going to lose, as he explained last week.

History is full of horrible, evil people – Charles Manson, Adolf Hitler, Hillary Clinton – but only one of them comes from a family completely devoid of any members with any redeeming qualities. While that may seem a bit harsh on Chelsea, the truth is often harsh. With that in mind, we must acknowledge the unvarnished truth that the Biden family is atop that list. Is there anyone in that family who isn’t repugnant? The only people associated with the family who run the risk of not being total sleaze and, therefore, run the risk of having any redeeming qualities...

Despite President Joe Biden touting his economic “accomplishments,” a new report reveals that there are more foreign born workers in the United States than American workers. New Bureau of Labor Statistics data released this week found that there are 637,000 non-American citizen workers in the country. On the contrary, nearly 300,000 native-born Americans lost their jobs. Economist E.J. Antoni told The Federalist that the government has added a significant amount of jobs that are primarily only held by foreign born workers, leaving Americans struggling to look for jobs. “No wonder Americans view economy so terribly: they aren’t the ones [with]...

More than half of President Biden’s supporters said they are mainly backing the incumbent in 2024 to oppose former President Trump, according to a new poll. A new CBS News/YouGov poll, released Sunday, found 54 percent of likely Biden voters are planning to choose him on November’s ballot, a 7-point increase from March. The second-highest reason for choosing Biden was that they liked him, with 27 percent selecting the option. This is down 4 points from when the poll was taken in March. Nearly a fifth, or 19 percent, said they are going with Biden because he is the presumptive...

Distracted and confused—that’s exactly how the regime wants the American people. When everyone’s attention is scattered in a hundred different directions, it’s much easier for them to roll out their sweeping plots. Imagine standing in a room filled with TVs, each blasting a different message, and you’re trying to make sense of it all. Meanwhile, the powers that be are quietly making epic chess moves that will alter our lives and change the country—and the world—forever. We’ve said it a thousand times: the regime will stop at nothing to hold onto power. Nothing. That could mean unleashing a so-called “pandemic”—courtesy...

The Center Square) – After two decades at war with the Taliban, the U.S. government is now sending millions of taxpayer dollars to the terrorist group. The Taliban resumed power in Afghanistan immediately after the chaotic and deadly withdrawal of U.S. troops earlier in the Biden administration. A recently released federal watchdog report shows that the U.S. government has sent at least $11 million to the Taliban since the 2021 withdrawal of U.S. troops. But experts and even the federal watchdog estimate the number is much higher. "The U.S. government has continued to be the largest international donor supporting the...

Illegals block Times Square and call for abolishing ICE. They are not happy with the Executive Order Biden signed yesterday that does basically nothing to stop illegal immigration.pic.twitter.com/aqmOxlYlOf — Mayor (@Mayoralpodcast) June 6, 2024CommentaryPieces of the jigsaw puzzle that is the 2024 election heist all began fitting together Friday as illegal immigrants took over New York City’s Times Square to demand the abolishing of Immigration and Customs Enforcement in response to what was already a toothless and symbolic executive order from President Joe Biden.And so begins the long foretold Cloward–Piven strategy that will not only secure for the radical Left...

Ronald Reagan famously spoke about “Morning in America.” Now the chimes are tolling midnight, as the lawless Biden regime and its judicial allies cooperate to imprison the president’s opponents and prominent dissidents against the totalitarian left. Judges are sneering at old ladies they imprison for peaceful pro-life protests. The U.S. Department of Justice is trying to jail whistleblowers for exposing the transgender butchery of children. The presumptive Republican nominee for president is facing jail time for a made-up crime after a sick joke of a trial with a biased judge who lied to the jury about the law. And now...

Before leaving for his rather embarrassing appearance in Normandy, President Joe Biden signed his long-awaited executive order "cracking down" on illegal immigration at the southern border. So what has changed since that happened? Even the Associated Press was forced to admit yesterday that the answer is pretty much nothing. They brought us the story of Gerardo Hanao, an illegal migrant from Colombia. He crossed the border into California on Thursday and was taken into custody by the Border Patrol. So far, so good, right? But instead of being shipped back to Colombia, he was dropped off at a bus stop...
