New Charts Reveal Harms of Biden’s Budget-Busting BingeThe harmful effects of excessive government spending have become the most pressing issue for Americans due to the worst inflation surge in decades. Washington’s reckless choice to pump trillions of dollars into the economy is the reason we face more inflation than other top economies around the world. Yet, incredibly, Congress is still planning an onslaught of additional inflationary spending bills with seemingly no end in sight. A recent report from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office helps to underscore the severity of the fiscal problems facing the nation and the urgent need for a new approach.

How the West Can Win the Peace in Ukraine - We need the foundation for a real peace. A rush to press for ending the fighting without safeguarding Ukrainian vital interests—or allowing Russia to come out of it without being held accountable for its crimes and enriched with new territory—will only increase the threat of future Russian aggression. This war started because the rules-based order failed and force prevailed. Only force and the will to use it will bring stability, establishing the conditions for ending the threat to the transatlantic community. Heritage Expert: James Carafano

Welcome to reality, Mr. President. Inflation has Americans worried about paying the bills. Inflation is a tax, a hidden tax, no one votes for but everyone has to pay. Biden keeps trying to spin the economy in a positive light, but citizens – especially those who are struggling financially – see things differently. The Biden administration’s anti-energy agenda is the primary culprit for America’s energy crisis and current inability to deal with supply shocks and associated price hikes.

Protesting at justices’ homes: A violation of federal and state law - Even though the Supreme Court hasn't issued its official opinion in the case, pro-abortion protesters are gathering outside the homes of the five conservative justices who are assumed to be in the majority of the leaked draft. These crowds have engaged in illegal protests outside the homes of those justices each week since the leak, in clear violation of federal and state law. Heritage Expert: Hans von Spakovsky

Biden’s Open Border Is an Open Invitation to Terrorist Attacks With an alarming number of aliens being smuggled into the U.S. and minimal operational control of the border under current conditions, there’s absolutely no way to promptly and effectively vet aliens coming from that many different countries. It is, therefore, no surprise that now, special-interest aliens can easily find their way into the U.S. without surveillance.  It’s evident that the Biden administration’s reckless policies (including the attempted lifting of Title 42) are continually exacerbating the border crisis it created and are opening our nation’s borders to terrorist threats originating from all over the world.  Heritage Expert: Erin Dwinell
