Please see the whole thing here. Among the subjects Mr. Stiles takes up today is one that will remain sore with us for a long time to come. He writes (all but one link omitted) below the break: * * * *

Our friend David Horowitz died this past Tuesday at the age of 86. He founded the David Horowitz Freedom Center and wrote galvanizing books including the classic autobiography Radical Son and the compilation The Black Book of the American Left. He was the author, most recently, he wrote America Betrayed. He sent us this column for publication on Power Line just before the 2024 presidential election. We remember David: Many

Joe Biden returned to the public stage yesterday evening with a rousing defense of Social Security before a friendly audience in Chicago. Is Social Security under attack? I must have missed the Democrat advertisements of Republicans pushing the wheelchair-bound Grandma over the cliff. Perhaps Biden’s speech was a preview of coming attractions. The Washington Free Beacon’s Andrew Stiles reports on Biden’s speech in The Geezer Is Back: Biden Says ‘Roughly

Former Pres. Joe Biden’s accelerating infirmities were noticeable to even the most casual observer of the political scene, going back for–pick a time period–three years? five years? longer? Now that Biden is safely out of office, an entire new genre of “I told you so” books has sprung into existence from authors who never told us so. Today, from The Hill newspaper, Democratic Party officials and White House staffers were

James Freeman’s online Wall Street Journal column strikes a note of incredulity: “Joe Biden’s writing another book?” Freeman is triggered by the NBC News story reporting that that Biden is writing a memoir. Freeman quotes the story: “As Biden develops a theme for his memoir, he has been consulting former senior administration officials, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken, national security adviser Jake Sullivan and senior White House advisers Mike

I interned in the office of then Minnesota Senator Walter Mondale in the summer of 1969. Mondale kept a so-called first-name file of friends and supporters under the jurisdiction of office administrator Mike Berman. I worked for Mike. When letters came in with the salutation “Dear Fritz,” I was assigned to check them against the file and make sure that responses were not signed with the office autopen. My job

So CNN’s Jake Tapper and co-author Alex Thompson of Axios and CNN have announced May 20 as the publication date for their book Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and his Disastrous Choice to Run Again. My hunch is that they are still writing the book, but want to pre-empt the field of journalists feverishly cranking out similar “inside stories” of Biden’s disaster right now. Let’s have a look

During the last months of Joe Biden’s presidency, he obviously was not fit to serve as president. So who ran the White House during that time? Lindy Li is a former Democratic National Committee insider who was heavily involved in Kamala Harris’s campaign. Li answers that question: According to Li, Joe Biden, already staggering from public scrutiny, effectively lost control of the White House after that fateful debate [with Donald

You may have missed the news that a celebrity named Joe Biden has signed up with the powerhouse Hollywood talent flacks at Creative Artists Agency. Worth noting how CAA describes their new client: “President Biden is one of America’s most respected and influential voices in national and global affairs,” Richard Lovett, co-chair of CAA, said in a statement. “His lifelong commitment to public service is one of unity, optimism, dignity,

The New York Post reports on another immigration crackdown: Federal agents rounded up dozens of members of Tren de Aragua [Ed.: around fifty] in an overnight raid on a “makeshift nightclub” in Denver — after the vicious Venezuelan prison gang terrorized the city and the suburb of Aurora. The DEA said agents in Colorado interrupted an “invite-only party” where dozens of the gangbangers were cutting loose in Adams County —

With less than 20 minutes before his term in office expired, the head of the Biden crime family preemptively pardoned his three siblings: James Biden, Francis Biden, and Valerie Biden Owens. He also pardoned his in-laws, John Owens and Sara Jones Biden. This was in addition to the pardon that the family boss had previously conferred on his son, Hunter Biden. I’m referring, of course, to “President Biden.” “Biden” also

As Steve’s chart shows, the sheer number of pardons issued by Joe Biden shatters all previous records. There has been much outrage over the pardons given to members of Biden’s family who shared in his bribery enterprise, to Anthony Fauci, and the January 6 committee members. But perhaps the most outrageous of such actions was Biden’s commutation of Leonard Peltier’s life sentence for murdering two FBI agents. The murders happened

“President Biden” probably won’t be done inflicting harm on the United States until he leaves office later today. There is yet more to come. At the moment, we have today’s preemptive pardons. Biden’s “presidency” already seems like a strange interlude in our history. One might have thought that only an avowed enemy of the United States would open our borders and invite the rest of the world to come on

Last night I was on the Outsiders TV show on Sky News, Australia. As always, it was a fun appearance. We talked about Trump’s nominees and their confirmation hearings, in particular Pete Hegseth, about the end of the disastrous Biden Administration and the imminent inauguration of Donald Trump. I am impressed to see that the YouTube version of the interview has already gotten 53,000 views: I’ll be doing the Bolt

Last week Free Press founder/editor Bari Weiss interviewed House Speaker Mike Johnson for her Honestly podcast. In the clip below, Johnson testifies to his observation of the mental incompetence of “President Biden.” John draws on the New York Post story reporting Johnson’s testimony in his post “It isn’t funny.” Eli Lake posted the video and reported on it in his Free Press story here. EXCLUSIVE: @SpeakerJohnson tells @BariWeiss that President

We and many others had fun yesterday at Joe Biden’s expense. He tweeted an announcement: the Equal Rights Amendment has been adopted! It’s the law of the land! No one took it seriously; if a president really tried to change the Constitution via executive order, he would be impeached and driven from office. Personally, I doubt Biden has any idea that he tweeted the supposed adoption of the ERA. I

Yesterday “President Biden” announced the dawn of the Equal Rights Amendment era — the ERA era. The White House posted “Biden’s” statement on the ERA and posted a companion announcement on X. Today I'm affirming what I have long believed and what three-fourths of the states have ratified: The 28th Amendment is the law of the land, guaranteeing all Americans equal rights and protections under the law regardless of their
