The American people overwhelmingly rejected Joe Biden’s presidency. His signature legislative agenda, the Green New Deal, subsidizes inefficient energy sources while driving up costs for affordable, reliable alternatives. This policy enriches a select few at the expense of taxpayers, who essentially fund their own economic suicide. Unfortunately, a group of lukewarm Republicans — whose donors profit from these terrible subsidies — are working to keep them in place.
The Green New Deal should be the first target for repeal through budget reconciliation.… Continue Reading
Everyone knows that winning the assignment of officially responding to a State of the Union speech can be a curse, not a blessing. But it depends on which party is responding.
Last year, the media ripped apart freshman U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) as a ditz. PBS analyst Jonathan Capehart made a “Legally Blonde” joke: “After watching Sen. Britt, I am just sitting here thinking what in the Elle Woods was that?”… Continue Reading
In 2016, I was adamantly opposed to President Trump. When he spoke at events I attended, I did not applaud. When others stood in line to take pictures with him, I refused to do the same. I was indignant, self-righteous and smug when I was with peers who supported him.
When a small cadre of Catholic and evangelical “thought leaders” and I were invited to meet with him to present our concerns, I was curt and blunt.… Continue Reading

Shortly after taking the oath of office on Monday [January 20th], President Trump signed a multitude of executive orders repealing the Biden administration’s promotion of radical gender ideology, ending the weaponization of government against religious and pro-life Americans and safeguarding free speech.
First Liberty President & CEO Kelly Shackelford discusses how these actions will help protect people of faith and the free exercise of religion. Watch below:
Five Major Executive Orders That Will Impact Religious Liberty

Democrats are circling the wagons, warning that President Trump and fellow Republicans are out for “revenge.” They are counting on the media to misrepresent any attempts at accountability and justice.
People need to be held responsible for the Biden administration’s lawlessness, especially for the bald-faced deception over President Biden’s mental decline. Somebody other than Mr. Biden has been running the country into the ditch for the past four years, and Americans deserve to know who it was.… Continue Reading
Federal Issues, Media Watch | David E. Smith | January 27, 2025 7:00 AM | Comments Off on Democrats and the Liberal Media’s Grand Deception Merits Justice, Not Vengeance
Even on Inauguration Day, you can count on taxpayer-funded National Public Radio to act like a hive of Democrats. It’s not surprising. As longtime NPR editor Uri Berliner reported last year, he investigated D.C. voting records and found “87 registered Democrats working in editorial positions and zero Republicans.”
On “Morning Edition” before Donald Trump was sworn in, co-host Leila Fadel interviewed U.S. Representative Byron Donalds (R-FL). After some milder opening questions, Fadel turned to revenge:
“President-elect Trump did promise dozens of times on the campaign trail that his rivals, critics, even some private citizens should be investigated, prosecuted, put in jail or otherwise punished.
President-elect Donald J. Trump and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance will take over [today], relieving the nation of the Biden administration’s train wreck.
Even many liberals are breathing a sigh of relief. President Biden and his fellow Democrats have done incredible damage to their party. They have turned it into a clown car full of Marxists, sexual radicals and outright lunatics who are good only at ruining entire cities and states. For reference, see San Francisco’s homeless camps, the Los Angeles fires and the Golden State of California under the rule of Gov.… Continue Reading
As the presidency of Joseph Robinette Biden mercifully comes to an end, Americans are being forced to endure the final death throes of a cripplingly lost four years. Four years that saw promises of unification and healing turn into petty political vendettas and demonizing divisiveness.
So perhaps no one should be surprised by the midnight acts of adulation that the addled mind of President Biden is now bestowing upon some of the more contemptible figures and polarizing malefactors in our politically fatigued country.… Continue Reading
On Monday, Jan. 6, Congress will convene to certify the 2024 reelection of former President Donald Trump. Jan. 6, 2025, marks the fourth anniversary of the Capitol riot that Democrats and their media still falsely portray as an “insurrection.”
Hundreds of Trump supporters gathered at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, after Mr. Trump spoke to a crowd. Among other things, he said:
“Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore, and that’s what this is all about.… Continue Reading
As he is wont to do, president-elect Donald J. Trump has re-branded the Green New Deal, labeling it the “Green New Scam.”
The Green New Deal was first introduced in 2019 by U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and U.S. Senator Edward J. Markey (D-MA), both members of the left-wing Congressional Progressive Caucus. This big-government plan proposes a 10-year mobilization to tackle a so-called “climate crisis” by mandating a transition away from fossil fuels to supposedly “renewable” energy sources – many of which rely on government subsidies – with the goal of achieving “net-zero” emissions.… Continue Reading
