National Economic Council Director Brian Deese on Tuesday argued that the U.S. is in a position of strength to combat high inflation, following President Biden’s release of a three-part plan to lower rising prices. “The economy we have right now is in a transition from this period of historic economic growth to a period that can be more stable, resilient growth. That requires focusing on inflation and doing so from a position of relative strength,” Deese told CNBC.

President Joe Biden is reportedly frustrated with his staff in the White House and their efforts to "rush to explain" something the president has said. "The so-called clean-up campaign, he has told advisers, undermines him and smothers the authenticity that fueled his rise. Worse, it feeds a Republican talking point that he’s not fully in command," NBC News reported Monday. The White House has walked back several of the president's statements, including when Biden said that Russian President Vladimir Putin "cannot remain in power." The president was angry that his comments were being interpreted as unpredictable, according to the NBC...

President Joe Biden is not happy about his staffers repeatedly stepping in to clarify his statements, according to a report, and feels it necessary to remind them he is the president. NBC News reports Biden hates the “clean-up campaign” telling his advisers it “undermines him and smothers the authenticity that fueled his rise.”

Joe Biden on Monday delivered a Memorial Day address at the 154th National Memorial Day Observance at Arlington National Cemetery. Biden was joined by Jill Biden, Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff. 79-year-old Joe Biden struggled to read his teleprompter and had a slip-up. “Democracy is not perfect. It’s never been good – perfect,” Biden said. VIDEO:

The US government appears close to sending a long-range multiple-rocket system (MLRS) to Ukraine. Russia sees such deliveries of heavy weapons as a provocative escalation. President Volodymyr Zelensky and other Ukrainian officials have urged delivery of the MLRS to counter Russia's heavy bombardments in the eastern Donbas region. But President Joe Biden said the US would not send Ukraine rocket systems "that can strike into Russia". There are concerns that such action would risk drawing the US and its Nato allies into direct conflict with Moscow. Moscow has welcomed President Biden's decision not to send weapons to Ukraine that could...

President Biden will meet Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell on Tuesday to discuss the national economy amid high inflation, which has hurt Biden’s job approval rating. It’s the first meeting between Biden and Powell since November, Bloomberg noted. A schedule released by the White House said they will “discuss the state of the American and global economy.”

President Joe Biden has remained silent about Iranians intensifying their protests against the country's Islamic leaders. Iranians have demonstrated amid worsening economic conditions under U.S. sanctions, and after the collapse of a twin-tower apartment building that killed at least 29 people. "The Biden administration and EU [European Union] continue to talk about social justice but that just seems to be cheap talk for votes," Banafsheh Zand, an Iranian-American journalist and human rights expert, told Fox News Digital. "That social justice does not seem to extend to everyone around the world though. "That Biden did not even address the disaster in...

Always ready to exploit a tragedy, Joe and Jill Biden went to Uvalde, Texas, on Sunday to visit the community after the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School. While the response of local enforcement has come under scrutiny, we’ve learned that Border Patrol agents ultimately ended the shooting at the school, and killed the shooter. Their heroic actions deserve the nation’s praise, but instead, Joe Biden dissed them by uninviting them from his speech. “Biden administration officials uninvited many of the Border Patrol agents and other law enforcement officers who responded to the Robb Elementary School shooting from a meeting...

WASHINGTON/UVALDE, Texas (Reuters) - A day after promising residents of Uvalde, Texas, action to address gun violence, U.S. President Joe Biden on Monday sought to appeal to "rational" Republicans to curb high-caliber weapons and take other steps to prevent more mass shootings. “Things have gotten so bad that everybody is getting more rational about it," Biden, a Democrat, told reporters as he returned from his weekend trip to memorialize the 19 children and two teachers killed last week in the nation's worst mass school shooting in a decade. "The idea of these high-caliber weapons -- there is simply no rational...

When I first began this journey, I didn’t know how many hours of footage I would listen to, but I thought “100 hours” would be ideal. Trust me, after watching just 7 hours of Joe Biden talking — he’s not the most interesting speaker — I knew 100 hours would be impossible, so I decided to go one video at a time and see where it took me. Luckily, I work from home — I am a writer and a graphic designer — so I can listen to one clip after another while I do my work. I always paused...

Dementia Joe Biden has come unstuck in time again. His latest Billy Pilgrim moment happened Friday, graduation day at the U.S. Naval Academy. Brandon was delivering his usual incoherent stew of demagoguery and senility — equal portions of deranged whispers and sudden shouts, punctuated with one preposterous lie after another, about the number of trips he’s made to Iraq and Afghanistan, the economy, his athletic career etc. etc. Among other things, he said the graduates had spent “four days” in college. He called Zoom “Joom.” He claimed he’s convinced “North Korea” to impose sanctions on Russia. He said COVID is...

Dear Mr. President. I write to you today with a broken heart. As you well know, 19 children and two teachers were gunned down by a mentally ill teenager in an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. When you gave a public message of condolence to the parents and families of these murdered young people, I thought you started your comments on the correct note. You were going to be the leader the President of the United States is expected to be. I expected that you would say kind words to soothe our broken hearts and bring all Americans together to...

[Caption] It’s a tightrope walk for the grouping at a time when US-China trade war has reached a peak. After having a bitter experience with Putin, Biden may need to maintain more restraint, simply to avoid another catastrophe in the Indo-Pacific The May 24 face-to-face meeting of the Quad leaders is considered very crucial against the backdrop of the ongoing Ukraine war. All the four heads of the Governments -- Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, US president Joe Biden, Japan Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese -- came together on a platform to display strength and...

President Joe Biden urged college graduates on Saturday to take the country back from what he described as growing darkness and hatred in the United States. “Get goin’ for God’s sake,” Biden said at the conclusion of his commencement speech at the University of Delaware. “Godspeed on your journey, keep the faith, and take it back. Please. This is yours. Take it back. We need you.”

President Biden revived his frequently ridiculed stage whisper Friday while addressing the US Naval Academy’s Class of 2022, stooping over his microphone to remind them that “I’m your commander-in-chief.” Biden addressed the graduates for approximately 25 minutes during the outdoor ceremony at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, during which he slammed Russian President Vladimir Putin over his three-month-old invasion of Ukraine. “The actions taken by Putin were an attempt to — to use my phrase — to Finlandize all of Europe, make it all neutral,” Biden said. “Instead, he NATO-ized all of Europe.” The phrase “Finlandize,” which the president...

It appears that Joe Biden is unwilling, or worse yet unable, to let the facts get in the way of his promotion of more gun controls for Americans, and he's being called out for that by a constitutional expert. Jonathan Turley, a popular analyst and commentator on the Constitution and professor at George Washington University, posted a column this week in the wake of Biden's comments that were prompted by the mass murder in Texas of children in a school. He headlined his commentary, "President Biden repeats false claim about the Second Amendment," and explained Biden's falsehood, showing he remained...

Joe Biden declared Wednesday during remarks on the Texas school shooting that the right to bear arms in the U.S. is “not absolute”. After signing an executive order to reform policing, and wheeling out George Floyd’s family for the press, Biden addressed the shooting, saying he “just sick and tired.” “When in God’s name will we do what needs to be done to, if not completely stop, fundamentally change the amount of the carnage that goes on in this country?” Biden continued. Then came the kicker. “The Second Amendment is not absolute. When it was passed, you couldn’t own a...
