WASHINGTON -- President Joe Biden has said he will not pardon his son Hunter, who pleaded guilty to nine felony and misdemeanor tax charges Thursday in Los Angeles.

I hope Biden relents on his no-pardon pledge before the younger Biden spends a night behind bars. My guess is that's the president's plan -- to flip and pardon his son after the ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- A reporter asked President Joe Biden if he thought Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was "doing enough" as the president returned to the White House on Monday. Biden answered, "No."

Biden added that he was pushing as "hard as we can for a deal" for a ceasefire in Gaza that would bring home hostages.

The bodies of six of...Read more

WASHINGTON -- "My values did not change," Kamala Harris asserted during her Thursday interview with CNN's Dana Bash. Lucky for Harris, Bash did not press the vice president to give an honest reckoning on her record as a prosecutor and her newfound, election-year positions on border policy and fracking.

Harris' first sit-down interview with a ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg released a letter Monday in which he expressed regret for Facebook's decision to give in to pressure to censor "certain COVID content, including humor and satire" in 2021.

CHICAGO -- Kamala Harris on Thursday shared with America what she often heard from her late mother as the now-vice president was growing up: "Never do anything half-assed."

Voters who are undecided didn't get a rousing speech that would explain how Harris would ...Read more

CHICAGO -- Day Two of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago confirms this much: With Vice President Kamala Harris as the party's nominee, Democrats are not moving to the middle.

Independent voters, you are not the focus in Chicago. You are an afterthought.

CHICAGO -- As delegates and the media descend on the Windy City for the Democratic National Convention, Kamala Harris not only has to energize the base; she also has to convince the rest of America that she can mend a moribund economy and keep order as parts of the country seem hell-bent on chaos.

That is, Harris has to convince voters she ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- In Las Vegas over the weekend, Vice President Kamala Harris offered, "I was attorney general of a border state."

Her language conjures an image of a law woman wearing spurs and squinting southward as the sun sets.

Harris does not brag that she would be great on border security because she was the attorney general of California ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- I start with a prediction: Big media will not look into would-be veep Tim Walz with the intensity they reserved for digging up dirt on JD Vance, after Donald Trump named the Ohio senator his running mate.

There will be no stories about leaked texts the now-Democratic running mate sent to someone he once considered a friend.

WASHINGTON -- If you're a Republican, you've been through this drill before -- that moment when a group of establishment Republicans reveal that they are voting for a Democrat because they deem the GOP nominee to be unworthy.

They sign a group statement with a more-in-sorrow-than-in-anger pronouncement that surprises absolutely no one.

And ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan fought to hold back tears Thursday as he talked about watching President Joe Biden on the phone informing the families of American hostages held in Russia that their loved ones would be free after a prisoner swap. It was a joyous occasion, topped only by the return of the hostages.

It was,...Read more

WASHINGTON -- Vice President Kamala Harris wants Americans to believe that she is not a progressive. Now that she's heading the Democratic ticket, she's all for securing the border, after all.

For many of us who've known her since the days she served as San Francisco district attorney and California attorney general, that's a tall order. ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- "This is not a clash of civilization. It's a clash between barbarism and civilization," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told a joint session of Congress on Wednesday, in a speech directed at speeding up U.S. military aid for his country.

Bibi's appearance also put a spotlight on the rift in America, especially among ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- President Joe Biden's letter announcing that he is standing down from the general election documented all the reasons the incumbent had to go.

But it's too late, Joe.

Your legacy is lost.

Biden should have announced he was not running for reelection a year ago -- or, at the very least, before he blew the June 27 debate with ...Read more

MILWAUKEE -- Since a would-be assassin tried to kill former President Donald Trump during a campaign rally Saturday, his team has been telling the world that the brush with death -- which left Trump wearing a white bandage on his ear -- had changed him.

And I believed it, until Trump addressed the Republican National Convention on Thursday ...Read more

MILWAUKEE -- Tuesday was "Make America Safe Once Again" night at the Republican National Convention -- some 72 hours after Donald Trump was shot in the ear by a would-be assassin as the former president spoke at a rally in Pennsylvania.

WASHINGTON -- A different turn of the head, a shift of the wind, and the outcome could have been far worse for America. As it was, the unthinkable did not happen Saturday, but the moment laid bare how precarious the peaceful transfer of power can be. Even in 2024.

An innocent man was killed and two others were seriously wounded in ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- Let's remember the original sin in the Joe Biden saga. In 2008, Barack Obama chose the then-Delaware senator to be his running mate.

Obama, then an Illinois senator, wanted someone with years of Washington experience to balance his first-term decision to run for the presidency. Biden had the glad-handing skills the cerebral ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- Joe Biden has made it clear that despite his dismal, embarrassing, very faltering debate performance last month, he's running. The president may not be able to finish two sentences without stumbling or needing cue cards, but Scranton Joe is not going down without a fight.

He told fellow Democrats as much in a letter Monday ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- Ever since Thursday's debate, it has been clear to the American public that a mentally compromised President Joe Biden has put his own ego ahead of the country -- a charge the left has hurled at Donald Trump from his first day in office.

Now the big-media mantra is that it is such a shame that Biden isn't up to the job because, ...Read more
