President Biden is expected to sign an executive order Tuesday that would give the White House additional authority to limit the flow of migrants across the southern border, sources confirmed to The Hill. The order would allow border officials to turn away migrants at the southern border once crossings surpass a certain number, an official said. The Associated Press reported the order would shut down the border after 2,500 daily encounters, and the border would reopen once the number of encounters drops below 1,500. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

President Joe Biden recently gave the commencement address to graduates of the United States Military Academy at West Point. In his speech, Biden once again lied about receiving an appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy. Biden claimed he “was one of 10” appointed by Senator Boggs, who he later defeated in his 1972 Senate race.Biden said, “I’d found out two days earlier they had a quarterback named Roger Staubach and a halfback named Joe Bellino. I said, ‘I’m not going there.’ I went to Delaware. Not a joke.”As usual, he invented the story since Bellino graduated prior to Biden starting...

CLAIM: The Biden campaign is repeating a lie that former President Donald Trump tear-gassed peaceful protesters gathered outside of the White House in Lafayette Square for a photo-op. VERDICT: FALSE. This has been debunked countless times and has been proven false. The inspector general of the U.S. Department of Interior released a report in June 2021 that exonerated Trump from claims that he had tear-gassed peaceful protesters gathered in Lafayette Square in June 2020 to walk through the park to have a photo-op at St. John’s Episcopal Church.

Biden campaign spokesman Michael Tyler appeared on Fox News’s MediaBuzz to discuss the garbage Trump verdict and his boss’s reaction to it. After whining that the 2024 Presidential Election was not a normal one because of Trump’s supposed threat to democracy, he stated that Joe Biden will end the threat of Donald Trump “once and for all.” While some will say Tyler was speaking from a political standpoint, Trump supporters might draw a different conclusion.

The president of the United States, Joe Biden, went in front of the cameras at the White House on May 31 and presented a multi-stage process for an end of war in Gaza that would release all the hostages, declaring it to be an Israeli peace plan.So bizarre to have this coming from the American President, not the Government of Israel:https://t.co/dton6d7sWl — Victoria Coates (@VictoriaCoates) May 31, 2024It would be interesting to learn from Biden which Israeli came up with this plan.Biden’s “Israeli” plan sounded comprehensive but it wasn’t, and it didn’t sound right.

Israeli Prime Minsiter Benjamin Netanyahu declined Friday to confirm or deny U.S. President Joe Biden’s claim that Israel had proposed a deal for a ceasefire and hostage release that would keep Hamas armed and in power in Gaza. On Friday, as Breitbart News reported, Biden proposed a three-part deal similar to proposals that Hamas had rejected in the past. The proposal never mentioned disarming Hamas and would effectively leave Hamas in power. Israel has now offered a roadmap to an enduring ceasefire – and the release of all the hostages. Yesterday, this proposal was transmitted by Qatar to Hamas. Today,...

President Biden is leading former President Trump in New York — but only by single digits in the largely blue state, according to a poll released Thursday. An Emerson College Polling/The Hill/PIX11 survey found Biden leading Trump 48 percent to 41 percent, with 12 percent undecided. When undecided voters are factored in, the incumbent’s lead stretches to 10 points, 55 percent to 45 percent. Biden also holds a single-digit lead over Trump when independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and several other long-shot candidates — Jill Stein and Cornel West — are factored in the survey: Biden is at 44 percent,...

It appears there’s growing concern over the management of federal debt and deficit amidst the backdrop of recent financial maneuvers. Janet Yellen’s decision to draw down $5.7 billion from the Treasury cash account raises eyebrows, seen by some as an attempt to obscure the true scale of the deficit ahead of upcoming elections. This move, while potentially reducing immediate debt figures, could inflate long-term debt obligations to record highs once the accounting is adjusted.

President Joe Biden’s campaign declared “no one is above the law” just minutes after former President Donald Trump was convicted Thursday in a New York courtroom. “Donald Trump has always mistakenly believed he would never face consequences for breaking the law for his own personal gain,” Biden campaign spokesman Michael Tyler said in a statement. “But today’s verdict does not change the fact that the American people face a simple reality.” The president is not expected to hold a separate news availability to address the verdict, according to a person with knowledge of his plans

On Wednesday’s broadcast of ABC’s “The View,” First Lady Jill Biden argued that companies like Target and Walmart are lowering prices because President Joe Biden told them to and he’ll continue to tell CEOs to lower their prices, but also stated that other companies like McDonald’s brought down their prices because “they’re responding to you” the customer, but “We can’t have this corporate greed.” Biden said, “[I]t’s what Joe is doing. So, you’re right, inflation is down. But recently, he’s been meeting with CEOs of the major companies like Target and Walmart and grocery stores to say, you have to...

President Joe Biden was slammed on social media on Thursday after he claimed that the blame for the ongoing border crisis falls on conservatives, whom he says have failed to pass “the toughest border enforcement in history.” Biden posted on X on Thursday evening, blaming former President Donald Trump and Republicans for rejecting legislation that partly addressed the border crisis. The president’s focus on illegal immigration comes just months before the 2024 election, and voters have suggested that illegal immigration will be the biggest issue determining how they cast their ballots. “Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican allies don’t care...

President Joe Biden is blaming record-setting levels of illegal immigration to the United States on congressional Republicans, suggesting they are standing in the way of “border enforcement.” On Thursday, a bill to expand legal immigration while permitting tens of thousands of migrant encounters along the U.S.-Mexico border failed in the Senate by a 43-50 vote.

Where are the fact-checkers?On Tuesday, former President Donald Trump's Truth Social account shared a new campaign video created by a random fan. The video featured fake snapshots of future newspaper headlines predicting widespread prosperity under a subsequent Trump presidency. The creator used a preexisting newspaper template and simply replaced some of the headlines, but some of the original text was still visible, and eagle-eyed users spotted a curious phrase: "the creation of a unified Reich." This prompted many, many, many people on X to proclaim that Trump had endorsed "the creation of a unified Reich," with reference to the Third...

"When I was Vice President, things were kinda bad during the pandemic," is not a thing former Veep Mike Pence said on Sunday. "And what happened was, Barack said to me, 'Go to Detroit! And help fix it!' Well, poor Mayor [Duggan], he's spent more time with me than he ever thought he's gonna have to." No, that was Presidentish Joe Biden speaking in Detroit on Sunday about things that never happened because Donald Trump was president in 2020 when the plandemic was launched out of China. Barack Obama hadn't been in the White House for almost four years, and...

President Joe Biden’s latest blunder came on Sunday when he claimed that he was vice president during the pandemic and that former President Barack Obama sent him to Detroit, Michigan, to “help fix it.” Biden’s factually false comment came during a National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) dinner in Detroit, the Daily Beast reported. “And when I was vice president, things were kinda bad during the pandemic, and what happened was Barack said to me, ‘Go to Detroit and help fix it!’” Biden told attendees, per a viral video from the event. Biden left the vice presidency...

President Joe Biden sharpened his racially-charged attack on former President Donald Trump during Sunday night's annual NAACP Detroit Branch Freedom Fund dinner. 'What do you think he would have done on January 6 if black Americans had stormed the Capitol?' Biden asked - as members of the crowd collectively gasped. The president then added, 'No, I'm serious. What do you think? I can only imagine,' as Trump has long promised to pardon those involved in the 2021 Capitol attack if he's elected to a second term in November.

President Joe Biden suggested Tuesday it is false that his administration is restricting consumer choice in the automobile market, but his administration recently finalized a rule that will force electric vehicles (EVs) to make up a much larger share of overall auto sales over the next decade. Biden made the remark during a Tuesday speech about his administration’s decision to significantly bolster tariffs against Chinese products including steel, semiconductor chips and EV batteries. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized a rule in March that requires manufacturers to make EVs constitute between 35% and 56% of new cars sold in 2032,...
