President Joe Biden said he has decided on how to respond to the deadly drone attack in Jordan that killed three U.S. service members and injured more than 40 others. The president did not elaborate on his plans but told reporters on Tuesday‚ Jan. 30‚ that he is not looking for a wider war in the Middle East. White House officials later said the response would likely come in multiple actions. “It’s fair for you to expect that we will respond in an appropriate fashion and it is very possible...

Progressives are frustrated with President Joe Biden for embracing the bipartisan border security deal that’s emerging in the Senate. And they’re starting to rage against it more loudly. It’s not the only area where the left is fuming at the Biden administration — its handling of the the Israel-Hamas war has sparked public protests by progressive activists for months. Once the border deal sees the light of day‚ however‚ liberal anger is likely to boil over. That’s partly because Senate...

U.S. President Joe Biden wore a hard hat backwards during a photo op with union construction workers in Superior‚ Wisconsin. Rating: True Editor's Note: We received a ton of comments in a very short time challenging our assumption that wearing a hard hat "backwards" means wearing it with the bill facing to the rear‚ and "forwards" means wearing it bill to the front. On the basis of that assumption‚ we originally rated the claim that Biden was wearing a hard hat backwards as false.

Monday marked the five-year anniversary of the Jussie Smollett hate crime hoax. I say that with some hesitation‚ because I know that there’s not a single living person who ever wants to hear the name Jussie Smollett ever again.

Its graduates of note range from Billy Graham to Dan Coates‚ former Director of National Intelligence and U.S. senator.  But recently‚ the school in the leafy suburb west of Chicago has begun to mimic Harvard’s wokeness. Banning biblical words‚ teaching critical race theory‚ and psychologizing gender identity issues may not seem...
