Just ask any Gold Star parent who has had to listen to him lie about his son Beau dying in Iraq. During Thursday's State of the Union address, Biden fully displayed his fabulist tendencies. His assessment of the administration's accomplishments and his impact was not anchored in reality.&nbsp;]]>Thu, 07 Mar 2024 00:01:23 -0500<![CDATA[Stacey Lennox]]><![CDATA[Joe Biden]]>https://pjmedia.com/stacey-lennox/2024/03/07/fact-checking-the-fabulist-in-chiefs-state-of-the-union-n4927124<![CDATA[About a month ago, a post from the X account of Sesame Street's Elmo went viral by simply asking users, "How is everybody doing?" It earned an avalanche of responses that ranged from hilarious to downright disturbing. Even the 12-year-old emoters that run President Biden's account jumped in with a tone-deaf offering:]]>Wed, 06 Mar 2024 12:30:00 -0500<![CDATA[Stacey Lennox]]>https://pjmedia.com/stacey-lennox/2024/03/06/they-think-you-are-stupid-muppet-edition-n4927063<![CDATA[As the balkanization of the United States continues apace, it is clear that the Left has no intention of letting red states stay red. According to Jason Snead, executive director of the Honest Elections Project, a combination of ballot measures and lawfare funded by left-wing dark money organizations is evolving into a consistent strategy in red and purple states. The combination of efforts successfully turned Michigan blue in three election cycles.&nbsp;]]>Wed, 06 Mar 2024 09:20:00 -0500<![CDATA[Stacey Lennox]]><![CDATA[Election Integrity]]><![CDATA[Ohio]]>https://pjmedia.com/stacey-lennox/2024/03/06/how-the-left-plans-to-turn-ohio-blue-n4927049<![CDATA[A sneaky tsunami of businesses relocating out of blue states may be coming if these states continue down the path of anti-business policies.

At that rate of wasteful spending, shrinking the government behemoth should be a no-brainer. But all it seems to do is get bigger.&nbsp;]]>Sat, 23 Dec 2023 22:47:00 -0500<![CDATA[Stacey Lennox]]><![CDATA[Conservatism]]>https://pjmedia.com/stacey-lennox/2023/12/23/senator-rand-paul-provides-a-festivus-for-anyone-who-cares-about-wasteful-government-spending-n4924983<![CDATA[If you are a Democrat and lose The Hill and NBC in a single day, it just might be time to take a hint. While President Joe Biden's inclination to cling to power does not seem to ebb, the drumbeat from the media for him to let go seems to be getting louder. Earlier today, PJ Media's Rick Moran asked when Democrats would dump Joe Biden as their nominee in 2024, noting some of the bad press.&nbsp;]]>Sat, 23 Dec 2023 14:36:00 -0500<![CDATA[Stacey Lennox]]><![CDATA[Biden campaign]]><![CDATA[media]]>https://pjmedia.com/stacey-lennox/2023/12/23/the-drumbeat-for-joe-biden-to-exit-the-race-gets-louder-n4924975<![CDATA[In a wake-up call for higher education, an October survey found that small businesses are increasingly dissatisfied with the pool of college graduates and many are no longer interested in hiring new grads with a 4-year degree. The Freedom Economy Index (FEI), a joint project of PublicSquare and RedBalloon.work, found employers have issues with the work ethic college students display as well as the quality of their preparation for the workforce.&nbsp;]]>Fri, 10 Nov 2023 02:30:00 -0500<![CDATA[Stacey Lennox]]><![CDATA[College]]><![CDATA[Economy]]><![CDATA[Education]]>https://pjmedia.com/stacey-lennox/2023/11/10/the-rapidly-declining-roi-of-a-4-year-degree-n4923790<![CDATA[After the 2023 election, every GOP candidate for president at the third presidential debate should have been prepared with a response about their position on the issue of abortion. For Republicans, who supposedly advocate for a smaller federal government, the most straightforward response is precisely what the majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson demands. The ruling placed abortion regulation firmly in the purview of state governments.]]>Thu, 09 Nov 2023 21:13:00 -0500<![CDATA[Stacey Lennox]]><![CDATA[Abortion]]><![CDATA[Debates]]>https://pjmedia.com/stacey-lennox/2023/11/09/why-are-some-gop-candidates-using-the-lefts-memes-about-the-pro-life-movement-n4923789<![CDATA[As many commentators pointed out during the 2020 presidential campaign, Joe Biden has been wrong about every foreign policy decision for the last 50 years. As president, his record is no better. From the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan to letting Chinese spy balloons cruise over the continental U.S. without objections, his poor decision-making continues apace. And despite early support, it appears voters are no longer willing to support the war in Ukraine &#8220;as long as it takes.&#8221;]]>Sat, 05 Aug 2023 23:19:47 -0400<![CDATA[Stacey Lennox]]><![CDATA[War in Ukraine]]>https://pjmedia.com/stacey-lennox/2023/08/05/americans-dont-want-a-forever-war-in-ukraine-n1716595<![CDATA[As we careen into the 2024 election, Democrats and their media allies are playing on the emotions of the GOP base by continuing to attack President Trump legally and rhetorically. For them, the election must be a referendum on Trump; then they can run their addled, corrupt candidate from the basement again. A new CNN poll shows why this may be the only strategy available to the Biden campaign. It cannot be about Biden&#8217;s so-called accomplishments.]]>Thu, 03 Aug 2023 14:03:50 -0400<![CDATA[Stacey Lennox]]><![CDATA[biden administration]]><![CDATA[Economy]]><![CDATA[Joe Biden]]>https://pjmedia.com/stacey-lennox/2023/08/03/the-miracle-of-bidenomics-is-not-impressing-anyone-n1715821<![CDATA[President Biden, or whoever is actually running the Executive Branch since January 2021, has had some historic moments. The disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, the highest inflation rate in 40 years, and the first black lesbian press secretary are just a few that come to mind. Now they can add another notable event to the steaming dumpster fire of accomplishments to date.

Net migration to Florida is up. And while it may have started with people fleeing COVID tyranny, it appears the combined set of policies enshrined in law under Gov.

It raised the most extreme version of the rainbow flag on the two-story White House portico, flanked by two American flags. Then the president&#8217;s official Twitter account shared a picture of this garish display and announced, &#8220;America is a nation of Pride.&#8221;]]>Tue, 13 Jun 2023 16:55:15 -0400<![CDATA[Stacey Lennox]]><![CDATA[biden administration]]><![CDATA[Pride Month]]>https://pjmedia.com/stacey-lennox/2023/06/13/the-white-house-isnt-so-proud-of-what-happened-at-its-pride-party-n1702891<![CDATA[One of the most absurd talking points lately is that people who oppose the radical left&#8217;s agenda should stop using the term woke because it can&#8217;t be defined. Unless you have been asleep since Jan. 21, 2021, you see examples of it almost every day in the White House press briefing and whenever the dementia-patient-in-chief appears in public to pander to his far-left constituents.]]>Mon, 12 Jun 2023 14:08:16 -0400<![CDATA[Stacey Lennox]]><![CDATA[Woke]]>https://pjmedia.com/stacey-lennox/2023/06/12/if-you-are-struggling-to-define-woke-a-viral-ad-from-redballoon-makes-it-childs-play-n1702469<![CDATA[According to Axios, Fox News sent a cease and desist letter to Tucker Carlson, demanding that their former host stop publishing &#8220;Tucker on Twitter.&#8221; This follows the network&#8217;s claim that Carlson violated his contract by posting his first straight-to-camera monologue on the social media platform on June 6. Reportedly, despite being off the air, Carlson is still under contract with Fox through Dec. 31, 2024.]]>Mon, 12 Jun 2023 09:44:20 -0400<![CDATA[Stacey Lennox]]><![CDATA[Conservatism]]><![CDATA[Fox News]]><![CDATA[Tucker Carlson]]>https://pjmedia.com/stacey-lennox/2023/06/12/why-is-fox-news-so-desperate-to-silence-tucker-carlson-n1702429<![CDATA[President Donald Trump returned to Iowa on Thursday after canceling a rally due to weather in the first-in-the-nation caucus state earlier in May. He met with smaller groups of Iowa voters in a few events canvassing the state. A voter told him at one stop, &#8220;We have lost people because you supported the jab.&#8221; Then she appears to ask him what he would do differently. Given all we know about the clot shots now, Trump&#8217;s response was astonishing.]]>Fri, 02 Jun 2023 18:34:06 -0400<![CDATA[Stacey Lennox]]><![CDATA[2024 Election]]><![CDATA[covid vaccine]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]>https://pjmedia.com/stacey-lennox/2023/06/02/trump-needs-a-reality-check-on-the-mrna-jabs-n1700155<![CDATA[As promised, The Daily Wire started streaming the documentary &#8220;What Is a Woman?&#8221; on Twitter shortly after 8 p.m. on Thursday.

Buckley, the founder of National Review, forged an alliance between social conservatives, Republicans, and libertarians to fight Communism. He also booted the John Birch Society from the pact. Beginning in 1973, the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) leadership and the dedicated group of activists in its ranks launched the Reagan Revolution. The Buckley coalition elected Ronald Reagan in 1980 and launched 25 years of unmatched prosperity and U.S. hegemony.]]>Sat, 04 Mar 2023 18:42:57 -0500<![CDATA[Stacey Lennox]]><![CDATA[Conservatism]]>https://pjmedia.com/stacey-lennox/2023/03/04/cpac-2023-the-end-of-an-era-n1675173<![CDATA[At the World Economic Forum meeting during a panel on immigration, Rep.
