When it comes to telling the truth, Joe Biden has a serious problem. Whether it’s graduating at the top of his class with multiple degrees (he didn’t) or never having discussed Hunter’s foreign business dealings with him (he did), the lies just seem to roll right off Biden’s tongue as naturally as water off a duck’s back.

Over the weekend, Joe Biden claimed that “MAGA Republicans” wanted to “slash funding for border security.” That’s a disgusting and outrageous lie!

It’s beyond absurd coming from the man who has allowed millions of illegal aliens to enter our country thanks to his open borders policies. Sadly, it’s not the first time that “Open Borders Biden” has accused Republicans of being weak on border security, even though Newsweek said his claim was “false.”

Joe Biden could have hired more Border Patrol agents if he wanted to. Instead, his priority was hiring tens of thousands of additional IRS agents! That tells you everything you need to know.

A Small Victory

There’s an axiom in Washington that “Personnel is policy.” So, it was very revealing when Kelisa Wing was appointed to a key position in Biden’s Pentagon that gave her power over the curricula taught to the children in Department of Defense schools.

These children, the sons and daughters of our men and women in uniform, historically are much more likely to join the military themselves as they are much more familiar with the military’s tradition of duty, honor and sacrifice.

But in that essential position, Biden installed a far-left, racist woman who mocked “white folx” in her social media posts, who denounced 9/11 first responders as “menaces” and who co-authored a book on defunding the police.

Predictably, she’s pushed radical “diversity, inclusion and equity” initiatives and things like the 1619 Project, which teaches that the whole narrative of America is a lie. That’s what she’s pushing on our children in Department of Defense schools.

Thanks to the narrow GOP majority in the House and solid fighters in the Senate, conservatives in Congress are working hard to expose woke radicalism in the military. And they have embarrassed Biden Administration officials who claimed ignorance.

For example, Rep. Elise Stefanik forced a Department of Defense under secretary to read Wing’s tweets aloud during a recent committee hearing. Now we’re learning that Wing has been reassigned.

She should be fired. Anyone else who had demonstrated such bigotry against blacks, Hispanics or Asians would be fired. Nevertheless, it’s a small victory.

Unfortunately, this is not the first time a top Department of Defense “diversity” official has been “reassigned” due to offensive remarks, which speaks volumes about Biden’s woke Pentagon.

Biden Nominee Goes Down In Flames

Phil Washington joins a long and growing list of radical Biden nominees like Saule Omarova, Neera Tanden, Gigi Sohn and Sarah Bloom Raskin, who have gone down in flames. Their nominations were either withdrawn or defeated due to opposition from Senate Democrats because of their radical views or general ineptness.

The spectacular “crash and burn” of Washington’s nomination is noteworthy because he was Joe Biden’s choice to lead the Federal Aviation Administration. That’s the agency responsible for ensuring that air travel is safe.

Washington may know a thing or two about buses, but he had absolutely no experience with airplane safety or really no significant experience of any kind involving airplanes. He seems to have been yet another diversity appointment that checked various boxes.

While we’re on the subject of Biden’s radical nominees, Sen. John Kennedy has been doing a tremendous job lately of exposing Biden’s judicial nominees as political hacks rather than experts on the law.

Last week, Kennedy stumped a Biden nominee who appeared to be unfamiliar with the motion that requires prosecutors to turn over evidence favorable to the defense — a central pillar of our legal system.

Biden’s Department Of Injustice

The Heritage Foundation and Advancing American Freedom are going into federal court to force the Justice Department to explain its double standard of justice.

Since Justice Samuel Alito’s draft of the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked to the media, hundreds of churches and pregnancy resource centers have been attacked by violent pro-abortion extremists. But over the course of the past year, Biden’s Justice Department has prosecuted 34 pro-life activists and only two pro-abortion extremists.

Multiple pro-life organizations filed complaints with the Justice Department demanding that it do more to address the very real violence coming from the radical left. Sadly, their concerns have been ignored.

When it comes to cracking down on concerned parents at school board meetings, Biden’s Justice Department moves with incredible speed. But it shrugs at burning churches and pro-life centers that help women in need.

Cuomo v. Bragg

The Manhattan grand jury led by Soros-funded prosecutor Alvin Bragg reportedly met yesterday. It is unknown whether the jury heard Bragg’s case against former President Donald Trump yesterday or not, as the grand jury is considering multiple cases. But there is a growing consensus that Bragg has likely overplayed his hand.

Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, perhaps the last person who might be expected to come to Donald Trump’s defense, blasted the prosecution of Trump as “political,” adding that Bragg’s partisanship “feeds the cynicism and that’s the cancer in our body politic right now.”
