Taxes

The New York Times attempted to save President Joe Biden’s political image after a string of abysmal economic news plagued the administration recently. spun attention away from the gas shortages, spiking inflation and atrocious April jobs growth in a story headlined, “Amid Economic Turmoil, Biden Stays Focused on Longer Term.”

Joe Biden is the luckiest man to ever assume the presidency. He succeeded an unpopular figure. He was inaugurated just two weeks after the dramatic storming of the U.S. Capitol by extremist Donald Trump supporters seeking to stop the certification of the 2020 election, which was also the beginning of the year after widespread race riots. 

Congress passed the $2.2 trillion Heroes Act. House Democrats said it gives money to “governments who desperately need funds.” But it also gives lots of money to people who don't need funds. Maryland, which even The Washington Post admits is “flush with cash,” got enough extra money to pass a budget that “hands bonuses to every state worker.”

Déjà vu? That’s exactly what CNBC Squawk Box co-anchor Joe Kernen said he was experiencing when it came to the nightmarish 1970s stagflation and the current state of the U.S. economy under President Joe Biden.

Thanks to the beneficence of the Internal Revenue Service -- and the fallout from COVID-19 -- we half of Americans who pay federal income taxes have been given until May 17 to file. Since I began earning enough to file Form 1040 and associated forms, I have only known one person who prepared his own taxes. That was Bill Archer, a Texas Republican who formerly headed the House Ways and Means…

With Kristin Fisher having left to join the evil empire, Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy soldiered on during Monday’s briefing and found success in repeatedly questioning Press Secretary Jen Psaki over the fallout from Friday’s jobs report and whether increased unemployment benefits are keeping people from wanting to rejoin the labor force.

As if the Hollywood left didn’t have reason enough to hate Caitlyn Jenner, the former man, Olympian and reality star now running for California governor gave Sean Hannity an hour-long interview on Wednesday night.

New York Times “The Morning” newsletter writer David Leonhardt claimed President Joe Biden’s massive tax hike proposal was not “radical.” One economist was having none of it.

My major takeaway from President Biden's joint address to Congress is that he and his handlers are continuing to employ the Democrats' primary strategy from the Obama years: Never let a crisis go to waste. To scare the American people into accepting his reckless spending proposals, Biden is leveraging the pandemic, which means he is framing it as still hot, raging and dangerous, while…

On Morning Joe, left-wing activist and NBC contributor claims that President Biden's plans to radically expand the size and scope of government are not a matter of "left and right." She says it is just a matter of giving people what they "need," and represent "common sense."

ABC followed the lead on Wednesday night of fellow broadcast networks CBS and NBC with their largely supportive coverage of President Biden’s first speech to a joint session of Congress. In ABC’s case, they called it a “Make America Feel Good Night” and “Make America Feel Pride Night” by “talk[ing] direction to people” following “an incredibly bold first 99 days” amidst the GOP’s “endless…

Though not as over-the-top as NBC following President Biden’s Wednesday night address to Congress, CBS made sure viewers knew they were thoroughly behind his speech, calling it a speech consisting of “a broad, bold new plan” for America built on “bipartisan appeal,” lowering “the temperature,” and “simplicity” even though it was “very progressive.”

In contrast to how they reacted to President Trump’s first address to Congress, NBC News was over the moon at President Biden’s remarks before a joint session, calling it a “remarkable speech” filled with a “very popular agenda” and given by a President who “rose to the moment that we were facing as a country” with supposedly little opposition from Republicans.

This wasn't a softball interview. It didn't even rise to powder-puff level. This was a love-in. Dana Bash's interview of Vice-President Kamala Harris on CNN's State of the Union that aired on April 25th was nothing short of a journalistic disgrace. Among other failures, Bash didn't ask Harris the most obvious question: why, despite being put in charge of the border crisis by Biden a month ago…
