Biden pushing to erase voter ID requirements that are backed by 85% of voters

By The Washington Times Staff Recent comments from Biden administration officials have stirred a debate about the role of federal agencies in supporting citizen participation in elections and the validity of voter ID laws. Concerns have been raised by House Republicans over a lack of transparency regarding the implementation of an executive order by President Biden aimed at encouraging federal agencies to assist in voter registration efforts. This is in addition to statements made by Attorney General Merrick Garland questioning the effectiveness of voter ID laws. Rep. Claudia Tenney, New York Republican and co-chairwoman of the Election Integrity Caucus, disputes claims that voter ID laws disenfranchise voters. “The statistics don’t bear that out. It’s like 85% of people across al...

Biden says he never meant to keep classified documents; Hur stands by report on President’s memory

By ZEKE MILLER, COLLEEN LONG AND FARNOUSH AMIRI | Stars & Stripes Over five hours of interviews, President Joe Biden repeatedly told a special counsel that he never meant to retain classified information after he left the vice presidency, but he was at times fuzzy about dates and said he was unfamiliar with the paper trail for some of the sensitive documents he handled. A transcript of the Biden interviews was made public Tuesday, just as the special counsel, Robert Hur, went before the House Judiciary Committee to face questions about his investigation of the Democratic president. Hur, in his report, concluded that Biden should not face criminal charges over his mishandling of documents but also impugned the president’s age and competence. The special counsel stood by his assess...

Tucker Carlson: Biden Address Was ‘Darkest And Most Un-American’ State Of The Union Ever

By TRISTAN JUSTICE | The Federalist Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson called President Joe Biden’s speech Thursday night “possibly the darkest and most un-American speech ever given by an American president.” In an immediate response to Biden’s State of the Union address, the former prime-time host charged the president with delivering a speech “entirely lacking in decency or generosity to his fellow Americans.” “In fact it wasn’t a speech,” Carlson said, “it was a rant.” Carlson also called Biden a “doddering old man” who “can’t remember when his son died or when he served as vice president.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE FEDERALIST

State of the Union: Biden lied 30 times during address to Congress

By SHAWN FLEETWOOD | The Federalist President Biden has been known to tell some pretty outrageous lies throughout his political career. So, it came as no surprise when Ol’ Sleepy Joe spewed out more than a few whoppers during his State of the Union address on Thursday. From foreign policy to the economy, there was almost no subject in which the president didn’t lie to the American people. In case you missed his dumpster fire speech, here’s the definitive list of Biden’s biggest SOTU falsehoods. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE FEDERALIST

Biden’s State of the Union, a campaign speech — but not for the general election

By Kaylee McGhee White | Colorado Springs Gazette One would be forgiven for mistaking President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address on Thursday night as a campaign speech. It was overtly political, with the president making more than a dozen references to his “predecessor” and current rival, former President Donald Trump, and several dozen more about the supposed “threats to democracy” Trump poses. But Biden’s reelection pitch wasn’t aimed at the general election voters he needs to win over. It was aimed at the left wing of the Democratic Party, which he also needs to win over if he wants to stay at the top of the party’s ticket. That’s why Biden had no problem touting the most radical parts of his agenda, such as his climate policies, which are dr...

Biden ‘turned a secured border into a disaster’ sheriffs complain after being snubbed

By Paul Bedard | Colorado Springs Gazette The nation’s sheriffs on Friday expressed anger that President Joe Biden did not recognize law enforcement in his State of the Union address, blasting the White House for turning a calm border into a calamity. While he gave his speech just two weeks after visiting the Texas border, where he met with agents, Biden failed to acknowledge their efforts to keep the nation safe despite broadening violence. The National Sheriffs’ Association, expressing frustration both at being ignored by Biden and by Biden’s dismantling of the Trump-era border protections officers played a critical part in enforcing, called on the president to take action today to stop the flow of illegal immigrants flooding in.

WATCH LIVE: State of the Union address and responses from Sen. Britt, Donald Trump

By BRIAN PORTER | The Rocky Mountain Voice President Joe Biden is preparing to deliver his final State of the Union address of his first term to Congress. While the guest list for those sitting with First Lady Jill Biden during the speech gives some indiction toward the themes, it won’t be delivered until 7 p.m. Mountain Time – that’s 9 p.m. Eastern Time if you happen to be in Washington, D.C. The broadcast at WhiteHouse.gov will allow viewers to post emojis to give a reaction as the State of the Union happens, but don’t expect a chance to offer a negative reaction. The three emojis being offered are thumbs up, love and celebrate, although Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre continues to claim the President is ready to handle any opposition to his positions on the economy and the c...

‘Just too old’ Joe Biden enters State of the Union with something to prove

What to Watch in Biden’s State of the Union Address By Emel Akan | Epoch Times President Joe Biden will deliver his third State of the Union address on March 7, using the opportunity to allay concerns about his age and persuade Americans that he can serve a second term as the country barrels toward a high-stakes election in November. Viewers will mostly be evaluating President Biden based on his performance, not just his message. Is he making mistakes? Will there be any verbal blunders? Is he appearing energetic and in control? How will he confront hecklers? His actions will be carefully monitored. Hence, it will be a crucial address for the 46th president as he works to restore public trust in his age and mental acuity. “It’s going to be an incredibly important ...

‘Anytime, Anywhere, Anyplace’: Trump issues debate challenge to Biden

By Naveen Athrappully | Epoch Times Former President Donald Trump challenged President Joe Biden to debate him on key issues facing the nation. “It is important, for the good of our country, that Joe Biden and I debate issues that are so vital to America, and the American people. Therefore, I am calling for debates, anytime, anywhere, anyplace!" “The debates can be run by the corrupt DNC, or their subsidiary, the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD). I look forward to receiving a response. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” President Trump said in a March 7 Truth Social post. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE EPOCH TIMES

Musk says he won’t donate to Biden or Trump

By DOMINICK MASTRANGELO | The Hill Billionaire tech and media mogul Elon Musk said he will not be giving money to either President Biden or former President Trump this year as the two prepare to face off in the fall. “Just to be super clear, I am not donating money to either candidate for US President,” Musk wrote Wednesday on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter that he purchased in 2022. The New York Times reported Tuesday that Musk met with Trump and a few wealthy Republican donors in Florida as the former president’s campaign looks to “to shore up his finances” ahead of a rematch with Biden.
