<p>The Biden administration is pumping out dozens of federal rules this spring in a mad dash to cement the president’s legacy on everything from airfare refunds to beef labeling.</p><p>President Joe Biden and his allies are already campaigning on these policies, working to bolster his support among constituencies including young people, labor unions,
rural communities and climate-conscious voters. But beyond the campaign trail, the timing of this blitz is designed to ensure that Biden’s policies have their best shot at surviving the deregulatory fervor of another potential Donald Trump White House and Republican-controlled Congress.</p>

An intersection opposite the central bus station in Tzfat illustrates the interwoven trauma between that city and the Galileean town of Maalot, a half-hour’s drive away. At
the intersection, one sign designates the road’s name as 22 Children of Tzfat Street, while a sign at the adjacent bus stop calls it 22 Children of Maalot Street. Fifty years after a notorious terrorist attack that killed 28 Israelis near and in Maalot, including 22 students on a field trip from a Tzfat high school, places and people testify to the lingering pain.

The Biden Anti-American Legacy

| 14 May, 2024 | Allan J. Feifer
Biden’s legacy will be unique in American history, for no president will ever have left America in such terrible shape. Never
before has an American president been so physically unstable that he needs an accompanying entourage wherever he walks. That shakiness is a visual metaphor of Biden’s presidency. He represents a departure from previous presidents in being the only president who leaves voters doubting whether he is actually in charge and wondering why a frail 81-year-old, broadly despised man is being pushed to run again, even as most don’t believe he’s capable of completing that term if elected. Biden came...

The World Is Paying A Deadly Price For Barack Obama’s Foreign Policy Legacy

If a belligerent state launched 185 explosive drones, 36 cruise missiles and 110 surface-to-surface missiles from three fronts against civilian targets within the United States, would President Joe Biden call it a “win”? Would
the president tell us that the best thing we can do now is show “restraint”? What if that same terror state’s proxy armies had recently helped murder, rape and kidnap more than 1,000 American men, women and children? What if this terror state were trying to obtain nuclear weapons so it could continue to agitate without any consequences? This is what Biden and the Barack Obama...

Federalism or Teddy Roosevelt: You Can Only Pick One: Trump’s supporters should be careful not to saddle him with the legacy of a man who did everything to undermine the Constitution

American Greatness ^
| 04/13/2024 | Stephen Soukup
Over the course of the last week, some of President Trump’s most ardent and vocal online supporters have engaged in a bit of cognitive dissonance, praising the former president for his foresight and wisdom in calling for a federalist solution to one of the nation’s most intractable problems while simultaneously singing the
praises of the one man who likely did more than any other American to crush the nation’s federalist history and culture. Specifically, President Trump called for the question of abortion to be handled by the states, for the federal government to relinquish its power over the issue and...

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is planning to devote much of his energy in the remaining months of his term as Republican leader, as well as the next few years of his term, to ensuring Ukraine is supported as its war with Russia rages on. "It
may not be fashionable now, but I’m a Ronald Reagan Republican: peace through strength," the longtime Senate GOP leader said during a speech in Shelbyville, Kentucky, per local outlet the Kentucky Lantern. McConnell has been a proponent of continued support for Ukraine, even after members of his party began to push back.

Civil rights groups are calling for the collapsed Baltimore bridge to be renamed when it's rebuilt, citing accusations of racism against national anthem author Francis Scott Key. Leaders argued that the The Star-Spangled Banner author -who the collapsed bridge was named after - was a slave owner who wrote lyrics that scholars
have said 'demeaned black people.' They have asked for the bridge to be renamed after late congressman Parren J Mitchel, the first black man from Maryland elected to the US House of Representatives.

Tanks for the memories, Duke: Legacy? Is that really the right word when you’re discussing Dukakis?

My invitation must have gotten lost in the mail. “You
are invited to join the Northeastern community for a special celebration honoring Michael S. Dukakis.” But someone eventually did send it along to me, and tomorrow’s “celebration” will of course be the social event of the season – NOT! M. Stanley Dukakis is 90 years old now, 33 years after his retirement from politics due to ill health – the voters got sick of him. But how can we miss the Duke when he won’t go away? The featured session, as it’s described, is entitled “Succession: Governors’ Reflections on the...

During an interview with Univision that took place last Wednesday and aired on Tuesday, President Joe Biden said that he hopes his legacy is that he kept his word and did what he said he would do and that the reason he ran for office “was to help the life of ordinary
people and reduce the prospect of war and — because of Vietnam.” Interviewer Enrique Acevedo asked, “Do you think a lot about legacy, because we’re talking about over 50 years of public service, and, regardless of the outcome, this might be your last political campaign, you’ve done a...

Jerrod Carmichael Calls Dave Chappelle an ‘Egomaniac’: ‘He Wanted Me to Apologize Publicly or Some S—‘ for Criticizing His Anti-Trans Legacy

Jerrod Carmichael recently opened up to Esquire magazine about tensions with fellow comedian Dave Chappelle. Carmichael, who is making the press rounds in support of his new HBO series, generated headlines in June 2022 when he criticized Chappelle, who had already been earning backlash for making jokes about the transgender community. “Chappelle,
do you know what comes up when you Google your name, bro?” Carmichael asked during a GQ magazine profile at the time, referring to the comedian’s comments about trans people. “That’s the legacy? Your legacy is a bunch of opinions on trans ---? It’s an odd hill to...

Legacy of Deception: Democrat-led, taxpayer-funded machine exposed anew for misleading Americans

| 12 Mar, 2024 | John Solomon
FBI agents took allegations from Hillary Clinton’s campaign in the midst of the 2016 presidential election and provably misled a court by omitting key information, in one case even doctoring evidence. Fifty-one
intelligence experts who derived their credentials from American taxpayers signed a letter cheered on by Joe Biden’s campaign to falsely portray Hunter Biden's laptop as Russian disinformation when the FBI had already corroborated it as authentic. An official congressional select committee concluded a White House aide’s third-party hearsay account that Donald Trump tried to violently commandeer his presidential SUV on Jan. 6 was more credible than the Secret...

Recall campaign accuses Dem of 'legacy of failure' following sweeping crime bill vote (D.C.)

The Washington, D.C., City Council's vote to pass a sweeping public safety bill can't change one member's "legacy of failure" or restore lives lost in the District's surging crime crisis, a campaign to recall the Democrat told Fox News. All but one councilmember on Tuesday voted in favor of the Secure D.C.
Omnibus Amendment Act, which includes a swath of measures aimed at curbing surging crime, amid outcries from fed-up business owners and residents. The urgent response comes as two Democrats who voted in favor of the bill, Councilmembers Brianne Nadeau and Charles Allen, face recall efforts over their criminal...

At the 2024 SHOT Show industry day at the range, this correspondent stopped at the Diamondback Firearms booth. Unfortunately,
they did not have any examples of their new .22 revolver, the Sidekick, available. This lead to a discussion of how the Sidekick, which strongly resembles the old Hi-Standard Double Nine revolver, was brought into production.Jimmy Stroda was the director of product development at Diamondback Firearms. He related the story to this correspondent. Diamondback had been looking at product sales in the United States. It is clear that .22 caliber single-action revolvers have a very large market share, as seen by...

Diabolical: Elon Musk pulls no punches on Immigration bill AND legacy media

Yesterday, both President Biden and former President Trump both visited the border. Trump
reportedly talked to Laken Riley's family, Biden stumbled around with his cheat sheet (and talked about climate change). The disastrous border bill pushed by Biden seems to be DOA, thankfully, and Trump may have had a hand in its demise. But the journalist class is mad at Trump for playing politics. Thankfully, Elon Musk calls it like it is: People who get their news from legacy TV live in a fake alternate reality. Those so-called “toughest reforms” would have made invasion-level migration permanent. That diabolical “Border Bill”...

Joe Biden’s Presidency: a legacy of weakness and failure

Joe Biden is a man of contradictions. When
it comes to political opponents, he's tough. He pressed his Attorney General to prosecute Donald Trump. He has the FBI targeting Trump supporters. He's having Jan 6 protesters hit with overly harsh sentences. He had Peter Navarro and Roger Stone shackled for defying a Congressional subpoena while Hunter wasn't touched for doing the same. But when it comes to foreign affairs, Biden is wholly different. He is a weak man and he projects weakness. Bob Gates warned us. He said "I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy...

‘Angel or antichrist’: Russia grapples with Lenin’s legacy 100 years after death
|
| |
The Guardian ^
| 1/21/24 | Andrew Roth
Sunday’s centenary of the death of Vladimir Lenin, one of the most influential leaders of the 20th century, will largely go uncelebrated in his home country of Russia this weekend, where the revolutionary leader stands accused of laying a “timebomb” underneath Russia and Ukraine that has exploded in the past decade. There
will be no parades or stirring speeches in Red Square. The obvious reason is that one of Lenin’s most strident critics is Vladimir Putin, who appears far more enamoured with the empire that Lenin’s revolutionaries overthrew. Often portrayed in official Soviet culture as a grandfatherly, nurturing figure who...

Di Leo: The Modern Democrats' Legacy and the Devastation of Inflation
|

Illinois Review ^
| January 13, AD 2024 | John F. Di Leo
The press reports that inflation in the United States isn’t doing too bad; it just inched up a bit in December, 2023 – to about 3.4 percent, year over year. That
means, prices only rose by about 3.4 percent from December, 2022 through December 2023. Considering the fact that we were looking at double-digit inflation in the first two years of the Biden-Harris regime, inflation at only 3.4 percent looks good, at first glance. Finally – the regime tells us – prices are getting back to normal again. Maybe it’ll even return to a proper 2 percent eventually; won’t that...

A legacy of faithfulness, a love of family: Don Wildmon

American Family News ^
| December 28, 2023 | Steve Jordahl
Rev. Don Wildmon, founder of American Family Association, has passed away. One
of the pioneers of the pro-family movement, "Brother Don" – as his staff called him – left a legacy of tenacious righteousness. Don Wildmon was born in 1938 and as a young man was a United Methodist minister for 13 years. In 1977, troubled by the profanity and indecency he saw on television, started American Family Association in his kitchen in Tupelo, Mississippi. In 1991, he started American Family Radio (AFR), which now has between one and a half and two million listeners. Most men would be proud...
