President Biden must hope that America has forgotten former President Reagan’s famous question about the economy. The reason? Because economically, Americans fare worse and worse under Biden. This is not the product of exaggeration; instead, it’s the product of inflation and expectation.
In his only debate with then-President Carter in 1980, Reagan asked America a simple question: “Are you better off than you were four years ago?” Elegant simplicity itself, the question distilled the complexities of economics to their essential kernel: How’re you doing?

House Republicans unveiled articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Sunday. The articles, introduced by Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., accuse Mayorkas of "Willfull and systemic refusal to comply with the law" and "breach of public trust."
"Throughout his tenure as Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas has repeatedly violated laws enacted by Congress regarding immigration and border security. In large part because of his unlawful conduct, millions of aliens have illegally entered the United States on an annual basis with many unlawfully remaining in the United States. His refusal to obey the law is not only an offense against the separation of powers in the Constitution

I’ll put it bluntly: Joe Biden is a failed president. He clearly had an opportunity to position himself to do bigger things, but he overlooked or missed that opportunity altogether. Instead, Biden chose to highlight two issues — climate and equity — but could not deliver on them, and throughout his presidency, he has shepherded an administration with an overarching theme of division. In short, Biden hasn’t provided the American people with sound reasons to stay the course beyond his demonizing Donald Trump, the likely Republican to challenge him again.

By now, former South Carolina Gov. and United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley surely knows she will not be the Republican nominee for president. Having lost in New Hampshire by double digits and trailing Trump by 30 points in her home state, according to the RealClearPolitics average — to say nothing of the fact that the bulk of South Carolina’s Republican powerbrokers are backing the former president — Haley must be aware that victory by conventional means is not only virtually impossible, it is simply outside the realm of reason.

The fix is in. To “protect democracy,” democracy is already being canceled. We just haven’t admitted the implications of this to ourselves yet.
On Sunday, January 14th, NBC News ran an eye-catching story: “Fears grow that Trump will use the military in ‘dictatorial ways’ if he returns to the White House.” It described “a loose-knit network of public interest groups and lawmakers” that is “quietly” making plans to “foil any efforts to expand presidential power” on the part of Donald Trump.
The piece quoted an array of former high-ranking officials, all insisting Trump will misuse the Department of Defense to execute civilian political aims. Since Joe Biden’s team “leaked” a strategy memo

The world is not just about snuggling with housebroken puppies and rainbows out your window and riding unicorns bareback. The real world can be terrifying. Just ask former First Lady Michelle Obama.
She’s trembling with terror like a princess in a fairy tale being chased by Baba Yaga. And this terror of hers has infected the American news media with even more terror. Which brings us to the Michelle Obama Prophecy.
First, please understand that Michelle is terribly afraid that former President Donald Trump will recapture the White House.

Not many people in the national press were paying attention to the Democratic presidential primary results in West Virginia on May 8, 2012. Barack Obama was the incumbent president, and few outside local press noticed that Keith Russell Judd, a Texas convict sitting in a federal prison for extortion, had sent in the proper paperwork and paid the $2,500 filing fee necessary to be on the ballot.
Even had they paid attention, chances are no one expected him to have an impact. Yet he won a whopping 41% of the vote in West Virginia’s Democratic primary, earning 72,000 votes to Obama’s 106,000.
While Nelson did not win, his impact was lost because

Nikki Haley just lost the New Hampshire primary by 11 percent.
She had earlier come in third in the recent Iowa caucuses behind Ron DeSantis. But DeSantis, not she, dropped out of the race. He then endorsed front-runner Donald Trump. By contrast, Haley confidently announced that at last there was a two-person, head-to-head race. So she confidently headed to New Hampshire.
Her subtext was that if she did not win the upcoming two-person primaries, she would come in “second” rather than “last.” Her supporters outspent all the candidates in Iowa and would do so again in New Hampshire.

It might not seem like it right now, but it’s almost morning in America again.
Americans of all sides are waking up. Democrats, Independents, and Republicans are uniting around shared concerns.
Big city mothers aiming to rescue their children from failing schools and suburban moms losing their kids to woke educators are both waking up to the broken education system, where administrators get bigger and bigger salaries while kids suffer.
Meanwhile, both “granola” foodies and conservative farmers are becoming aware of the broken food system, where small farmers struggle, and it’s impossible to ban chemicals we know harm our kids. Despite citizens trying to effect change, their efforts are in vain

After three years of her chaos, countless reboots, and word salads, Americans in 2024 face the choice of whether Vice President Kamala Harris deserves another four years – and maybe not just as vice president. For the first time in recent history, there’s a real possibility that 81-year-old President Joe Biden, the oldest president to ever hold the job, might not make it through a second term if re-elected. That’s right. Kamala Harris might be your next president — without ever running a successful presidential campaign on her own.

If there is anything the establishment likes more than a tight horse-race and a David and Goliath duel of a long-shot candidate posing a threat to an undisputed favorite, it’s a story taking a good hard shot at Donald Trump. From these wishes was born the fantasy of a serious Republican challenge to the former president. But that fantasy is about to get another cold splash of reality.
The first dousing came in Iowa. But even after Trump’s besting his opposition by about 30 points or better, some continue to wonder whether the nomination contest is over.
Without wishful thinking or some peculiar break from normal politics, the nomination

The former House Select Committee on Jan. 6 deleted more than 100 encrypted files from its probe just days before Republicans took over the majority in the House of Representatives, Fox News Digital has learned. The House Administration Committee's Oversight Subcommittee is leading an investigation into Jan. 6, 2021, led by Chairman Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga. The panel is investigating the security failures on that day, as well as the "actions" of the former select committee investigating the Capitol riot.
