It is impossible to overstate just how destructive Joe Biden’s foreign policy decisions have been, and how immeasurably worse they have made the world. There are too many examples to cite, but given recent events let’s look at just a couple of decisions he made that empowered Iran and Hamas to commit the atrocities this weekend in Israel. During his administration, Trump shut down the negotiations with Iran and imposed enormous pressure on the country. He turned the screws, making Iran’s life extremely difficult. Joe Biden reversed that policy, going back to the old Obama-era policy of trying to cozy...

And the regime just happened to know that Kerry would...

The European Union is preparing to launch formal talks on possible Ukrainian accession into the bloc, despite dire warnings by senior officials that the EU might not survive enlargement economically, and lose what’s left of the pan-European project’s political cohesion. Ukraine in its current state is corrupt to the core and absolutely ineligible to join the European Union, former European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker has said. "One mustn’t make false promises to the people of Ukraine who are up to their necks in suffering. I am very angry about the presence of some voices in Europe who are telling the...

Three days. After years of not having to pay a dime, the bill came due again for student loans as of this past Sunday. Federal student loan borrowers will need to start making payments again this month after a three-year-plus pause due to the pandemic.You should expect a bill that lays out how much you have to pay each month at least 21 days before your due date. It’s likely that most borrowers have received their bill already but if you have not, visit your loan servicer account. Interest started accruing again in September.Not three days later?

@WallStreetSilv "You're telling me we're sending $100 billion to a country that's not going to have elections" “We’re sending $100 billion to a country that now has a president for life?” "Does anyone remember the American Civil War? Where 600,000 people died and yet we didn't miss an election?"

First, Rep. Victoria Spartz’s interaction with Attorney General Merrick Garland is a must-watch for every American citizen. She highlights concerns about the Department of Justice (DOJ) and its alleged corruption. Spartz’s assessment is strong and she raises valid points about the state of the DOJ. She doesn’t mince words when she accuses Merrick Garland of being the most corrupt Attorney General in U.S. history. She also labels him as a despicable liar who, in her view, has eroded the rule of law in our country. This sharp criticism reflects the growing unease regarding Garland’s leadership within the DOJ. On another...

At times, she, her family, and her old employer have been relentlessly harassed. The silver lining, says Powell, is that her immediate...

President Joe Biden offered a diagnosis Thursday for Republican Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell’s freeze-ups, speculating that the Senate minority leader is recovering from his concussion. “I spoke to Mitch, he’s a friend,” Biden began in response to a reporter. “He was his old self on the telephone, and having a little understanding of dealing with neurosurgeons and people — and one of the leading women in my staff, her husband is a neurosurgeon as well — it’s not at all unusual to have the response that sometimes happens to Mitch, when you’ve had a severe concussion,” the president added. “It’s...
