A new Quinnipiac poll finds only 19 percent of Hispanics approve of President Joe Biden’s job performance, even lower than whites. It’s the latest poll to show Hispanics with less support for Biden than whites, throwing into chaos Democrat plans to win heavily-Hispanic states like Texas and Florida. Biden has crashed to just 31 percent approval in the new poll, conducted between July 14th and 18th. It found Biden with just 61 percent approval among Blacks, far lower than usual for a Democrat, 29 percent approval among whites and only 19 percent approval among Hispanics. Forty-nine percent of Hispanics “strongly…

The House Committee on Natural Resources majority held a markup on 10 bills, including H.R. 2794, which would create significant barriers to mineral development in the Duluth Complex. “In recent years, an anti-mining sentiment has permeated in the Twin Cities and the coasts,” Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources Ranking Member Pete Stauber (R-Minn.) said. “This anti-jobs, anti-mining movement is hellbent on eliminating our mining jobs and robbing Minnesotans from developing our mineral wealth needed for our country. Let’s be clear: a vote for this bill will eliminate generations of union jobs and economic development on Minnesota’s Iron Range. I voted against…

In an explosive confession to the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee exposing a possible threat to national security, federal officials admitted the Biden administration is using drone aircraft made in Communist China. In response to a question from U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-Ohio), the Committee’s Ranking Member, Brad Wiegmann, Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Justice Department’s National Security Division revealed the FBI is using Chinese-made drones for security operations – in defiance of advice from security experts. Samantha Vinograd, Acting Assistant Secretary for Counterterrorism and Threat Prevention and Law Enforcement Policy at the Department of Homeland Security,…

In what appears to be the latest example of Biden family members using the government as a personal cash machine, President Joe Biden’s brother James got $600,000 in loans from the now-defunct healthcare startup Americore by promising his family name would secure funding from Middle Eastern countries. “According to new information obtained by Committee Republicans and confirmed by court filings, during 2017, James Biden—the President’s brother—promised funding from ‘the Middle East’ for a business deal ‘based on his political connections’ because his last name ‘Biden’ could ‘open doors,’” writes House Oversight Committee Ranking Member James Comer (R-KY) in a letter…

Long before the Biden administration misjudged the inflation threat until it was too late, it liked to claim bloated spending bills were paid for, at least as far as the middle class was concerned. While they’re not parroting the same line this time, Democrats continue to show that they have zero interest in reforming reckless government spending. The effect on inflation will likely be significant. Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Mike Crapo’s (R-Idaho) press office explains: Senate Republican leaders have sent a letter to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) requesting more information on the potential…

A liberal slush fund from the days of the Obama administration has returned under the Biden White House. First, some background: Under then-President Obama, the Justice Department rerouted victim settlement funds to far-left activist groups that had no connections to victims in government cases. While the Cato Institute and The Wall Street Journal reported on the flagrant violation of the separation of powers, it received comparatively little coverage elsewhere. Then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions ended the practice in 2017. Unsurprisingly, the method of settlement payments to third parties has reemerged. Fortunately, conservatives in Congress aren’t complacent. Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville and Texas Congressman…

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) wants Attorney General Merrick Garland to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee as to why the Justice Department is not enforcing federal laws intended to protect officials after an explosion of liberal violence and death threats aimed at U.S. Supreme Court justices. Cruz asked Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) to have Garland testify at a July 12 committee hearing on the court’s recent ruling overturning its 1973 Roe v. Wade decision and returning jurisdiction over abortion laws to the states. That ruling, which was leaked weeks before, created a nationwide explosion of…

A Democrat U.S. senator locked in one of the nation’s tightest reelection campaigns is now the target of a Federal Election Commission complaint for using campaign funds to pay for decades-old personal lawsuits. (RELATED: Raphael Warnock Used Millions in Federal Cash to Dismantle Atlanta Jail) The National Republican Senatorial Committee filed the complaint against U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) over Warnock’s use of campaign funds to defend himself in a personal lawsuit over allegations that took place 15 years ago. Atlanta-area resident Melvin Robertson filed the suit against Warnock in 2019, claiming in 2005 and 2008 that Warnock, in his…

In a press release dated July 12, Judicial Watch announced that it obtained over 1,000 pages of National Institutes of Health (NIH) records. The records reveal that the FBI inquired about NIH-funded research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology before the pandemic. (Washington, DC) Judicial Watch announced today that it received 1651 pages of records from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) revealing an FBI “inquiry” into the NIH’s controversial bat coronavirus grant tied to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Two top Republican senators are demanding Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray open a federal investigation into new evidence President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden hired prostitutes from Russian and Ukrainian human trafficking rings, with Joe Biden apparently wiring Hunter money to pay for them. (RELATED: Report: Biden Refusing to Provide Aid to Child Hunter Biden Had Out of Wedlock, Despite Threats) The request comes after the Washington Examiner revealed the existence of text messages, Wells Fargo wire receipts, Zelle receipts, PayPal notices and pictures of cashier checks indicating Hunter Biden paid escorts who appeared to be…
