Biden’s DOE Played Fast and Loose Rushing to Spend $42 Billion in Taxpayer Cash

By Staff | Real Clear Investigations In its last two working days, the Biden administration’s Energy Department signed off on nearly $42 billion for green energy projects – a sum that exceeded the total amount its Loan Programs Office (LPO) had put out in the past decade. The frenzied activity on Jan. 16 and 17, 2025, capped a spending binge that saw the LPO approve at least $93 billion in current and future disbursements after Vice President Kamala Harris lost the 2024 election in November, according to documents provided by the department to RealClearInvestigations. It appears that Biden officials were rushing to deploy billions in approved funding in anticipation that the incoming Trump administration would seek to redirect uncommitted money away from clean energy projects. The...

Anderson: Biden’s damaging open-border doctrine, by the numbers

By Jeffrey H. Anderson | Commentary, Real Clear Politics Most mainstream press accounts have largely ignored one obvious source of the Los Angeles riots – namely, that the Biden administration released more than enough illegal aliens into this country to populate a wholly new Los Angeles. In the aftermath of those riots, it’s an appropriate time to ask this question: How many illegal aliens did the Biden administration actually let into the United States? According to the Congressional Budget Office, during the four years from 2021 through 2024, a net 10.3 million people immigrated to the U.S. That figure reflects the number of (legal or illegal) immigrants who entered the U.S., minus the number who left. As a result of this huge immigration influx, the portion of the U.S. ...

Terror Risks Ignored as Over 700 Iranian Nationals Set Loose in America

By Greg Wehner , Bill Melugin | Fox News Trump's decisive action against Iran raises alarm about security risks following Biden's release of 729 special interest aliens. Over 1,500 Iranian nationals who illegally entered the U.S. at the southern border were arrested during the Biden administration, and nearly 50% of them were released back into the country, according to a senior U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) source. More specifically, Border Patrol agents arrested 1,504 Iranian nationals from fiscal year 2021 through fiscal year 2024. Of the 1,504 individuals who were arrested, 729 were released into the U.S. The number of Iranian nationals arrested at the southern border increased year-to-year, with 48 being arrested in FY21; 197 in FY22; 462 in FY23 and 797 in FY24...

The Puppet Presidency, Insider Warned Biden Not in Charge

By Joseph E. Schmitz | Commentary, The Daily Signal On June 18, the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on the concealment of former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline. This hearing will start to shed a congressional light on the apparent misuse of the presidential autopen. According to President Donald Trump’s June 4, memorandum, “This conspiracy marks one of the most dangerous and concerning scandals in American history.” The chief speechwriter for President Ronald Reagan, Kenneth Khachigian, published an article on May 30 in The Wall Street Journal, which concludes that Americans have been “cynically hoodwinked,” so much so that “Mr. Biden’s using an autopen”—assuming he actually knew about it—“and Attorney General [Merrick] Garland’s declining to release the ...

The protest-to-riot pipeline: How leftist networks mobilized and funded LA unrest

By Hudson Crozier | Daily Caller Well-funded activists and a coordinated social media campaign helped spark the pro-illegal migrant protests on Friday that descended into days of rioting in Los Angeles. Left-wing groups posted calls to action with a location to gather on Friday in unison after the arrest of a local Service Employees International Union (SEIU) leader on Friday. The subsequent uprising echoed scenes of the Black Lives Matter riots of 2020, which brought activists such as professional “legal observers” into the streets during a wave of protests that led to fires, looting, vandalism and deaths across the country as the organization’s leaders enriched themselves. Protests continued in a coordinated fashion through Monday, with some unident...

Antiquities Act rebalanced: DOJ says President Trump has authority to cancel national monument designations

By Matthew Brown | Associated Press via Denver Gazette BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Lawyers for President Donald Trump's administration say he has the authority to abolish national monuments meant to protect historical and archaeological sites across broad landscapes, including two in California created by his predecessor at the request of Native American tribes. Colorado has nine national monuments, which include Canyons of the Ancients National Monument, Chimney Rock National Monument, Colorado National Monument, Browns Canyon National Monument, Camp Hale-Continental Divide National Monument, Dinosaur National Monument, Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, Hovenweep National Monument, and Yucca House National Monument. A Justice Department legal opinion released Tuesday disavowed...

99.8% of job growth under Trump was private sector—Biden’s includes 25% government jobs

By Thomas Stevenson | Post Millennial Only around 75% of jobs added under Biden's last two years in office were added to the private sector. Under President Donald Trump's first few months in office during his second term, 99.8 percent of all job growth was in the private sector, in comparison to around 75 percent in the last two years of the Biden administration. In a press release, the White House touted the jobs numbers, saying, "Since President Trump took office, 99.8% of job gains have been in the private sector. During the final two years of the Biden Administration, one in four jobs created were in government," or 25 percent of job growth.  The jobs report for the month of May saw 139,000 jobs added to the economy, surpassing expectations from the Dow Jones as some have ...

HHS terminating $750M for Moderna’s mRNA-based bird flu vaccines amid safety concerns

By Alec Schemmel | Fox News The decision follows HHS's removal of COVID vaccines from federal vaccine recommendations for children and pregnant women President Donald Trump's Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is terminating awards totaling more than $750 million dollars that were provided to pharmaceutical manufacturer Moderna to help facilitate its production of mRNA-based bird flu vaccines.  During President Joe Biden's final week in office, his administration awarded $590 million to Moderna to help speed up its production of mRNA-based vaccines. The $590 million award followed a separate $176 million award Biden gave to Moderna earlier last year for mRNA vaccine technology. Messenger RNA vaccines are a newer type of vaccine technology, which w...

“Failure to Warn”: Senate report uncovers vaccine risk cover-up under Biden

By Julia Varnier | The National News Desk (TNND) — A new report from the Senate Homeland Security Committee accuses federal health agencies of failing to adequately warn the public about potential side effects of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, particularly the risk of myocarditis in young men. The report suggests that the Biden administration downplayed these risks to avoid increasing vaccine hesitancy. Dr. Jordan Vaughn, President of the Microvascular Research Foundation, testified on Capitol Hill Wednesday, during the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations' first hearing about the negative side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine, criticizing the decision by public health officials in 2021 not to issue a Health Alert Network message when increased risks from the COVID-19 vaccine be...
