No, Biden, U.S. Inflation Rose Long Before Putin’s Invasion – President Joe Biden has yet another inflation scapegoat: the war in Ukraine. On March 10, in response to new data showing year-on-year inflation hitting 7.9%, Biden characterized the jump as “Putin’s price hike,” pinning 14 months of inflation on a 2-week-old war. This administration needs to quit the excuses and get to work reversing the trillion-dollar deficits, the war on energy and supply chains, and the bumbling mandates, regulations, and subsidies that drive up prices and drain Americans’ pockets. We should not have to endure an economy always teetering on a knife’s edge, and that’s all Biden has offered, with the excuses to go with it. Heritage Experts: Peter St. Onge and Joel Griffith
What’s the Long-Term Strategy Against Putin, Russia After Ukraine? - As long as Vladimir Putin is Russian president, there will never be peace between Russia and the West. Putin’s war against Ukraine raises two major questions. The most obvious is: What happens to Ukraine after the fighting stops? The answer, of course, depends on how the war ends—win, lose or draw. Crucial times such as these require bold, rational leadership. But there is little reason to believe we will get anything approaching that from our current president.

Biden Doubles Down on Radical ‘Gender-Affirming Care’ for Kids – President Joe Biden’s Justice Department has sent a letter to all state attorneys general warning that they could be violating civil rights laws if they keep minors from receiving “gender-affirming care.” Biden released a video message reinforcing the point. “To parents of transgender children,” he insisted, “affirming your child’s identity is one of the most powerful things you can do to keep them safe and healthy.” Also, the gender-transition pathway endorsed by Biden is based on a single, flawed Dutch study with 55 subjects and no control group. It's now up to brave states and parents to stand in the way. Heritage Expert: Jay Richards
White House Is Said to Pause Student Loans Again, Pushing Payments to September – Student loan forgiveness shifts debt payments from graduate students and students from wealthy families to American taxpayers. Approximately two-thirds of Americans over 25 do not have college degrees—yet these will be the people paying for students outstanding loan debt.” Heritage Expert: Jonathan Butcher
Where Is Judge Jackson’s ‘Demonstrated Commitment’? - Axioms such as “actions speak louder than words” or “talk is cheap” counsel that, even under oath, a judicial nominee’s carefully scripted statements may not be what they seem. The test is whether a nominee has a “demonstrated commitment” to the judicial philosophy they describe. After all, who in their right (or left) mind believes that Biden would nominate, and liberals would support, a Supreme Court nominee they thought would actually use what Jackson described last week as her judicial philosophy?

Jobs, Family, Loyalty: Identifying the Governing Vision of National Conservatives – The American conservative movement long has been a raucous conversation among groups with different purposes, objects, and frameworks in which they approach politics and culture. Now, the strain known as national conservatism means to join that conversation. On one level, this national conservatism group makes a needed contribution when it stresses that the nation is the precondition to the gifts of constitutionalism, rule of law, citizenship, and economic prosperity. The American nation offers to us historical memory, land, borders, and law that has settled and governed the country. In this, the nation offers to us something that transcends individual will and immediate self-interest, requiring our devotion and loyalty. The national conservatives remind us of these truths and why we need to uphold the American nation. Heritage Expert: Richard Reinsch
Cancel Culture Is Helping Marxists Achieve Their Revolution in the West Without the Bloodshed – Cancel culture is sometimes mistaken as the central problem in the life of the West. This happens, I have noticed, more among our U.K. cousins than stateside. Cancel culture, however, is merely a tool, the enforcement mechanism with which the woke left retains the cultural territory it has conquered. The central problem facing citizens of Western countries is that a very hardcore, Marxian left has scored significant victories in its steady march toward the takeover of cultural institutions. This is a strategy first thought up by an Italian, Antonio Gramsci, who co-founded Italy’s Communist Party in 1921. Heritage Expert: Mike Gonzalez
Iran Deal: US Must Never Allow Evil Regime to Obtain Nuclear Weapons - The original Iran deal was seriously flawed, and returning to it will not stop Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons to threaten the U.S. and its allies. Unfortunately, the Biden administration is doing the exact opposite by attempting to recommit the U.S. to this deeply flawed, entirely unworkable deal from which President Trump wisely withdrew the U.S. in 2018. Biden’s push to restore this horrific deal is all the more baffling in the wake of Saturday’s Iranian missile attacks on U.S. personnel in Iraq. The U.S. should punish this evil regime for its attacks on American citizens and continued threat to our interests. We must never allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons.

5 Biden Transportation Potholes Making Motorists’ Lives Miserable – Just a few months ago, Washington celebrated the passage of a bloated infrastructure bill. Supporters trotted out tired claims about fixing “crumbling roads and bridges” using gobs of taxpayer money. Yet even if we assume a certain amount of waste, fraud, and abuse due to the problems inherent with federal involvement, Americans might reasonably expect that more than $1 trillion in spending would at least make things better. Sadly, a crowded intersection of federal blunders could block drivers from getting much benefit from the spending spree. Heritage Expert: David Ditch
