President Trump announced Saturday he approved new fuel economy standards that eliminate an electric vehicle (EV) mandate introduced under the Biden administration. The 2024 EV mandate aimed to facilitate the transition from gas-powered to EVs by setting new pollution standards for automakers' vehicle fleets, which were intentionally difficult to meet without introducing new electric or...
Former Kennedy Center employees accused the iconic performing arts venue's leadership in a letter to Congress of halting planned waterproofing repairs earlier this year. In the Thursday letter, David Seide, an attorney representing the whistleblowers, shared internal documents which he said challenged the Kennedy Center board's claims that these leaks constituted the venue's immediate closure. ...
While much has been written about high energy inflation for oil and gasoline over the last three years, little has been written about the material inflation in U.S. power prices. In most power regions of the country, more power plant capacity, measured in megawatts, is being decommissioned than is being built, including in regions such […]
Preparing to help defend Israel from attacks by Iran, the Houthi rebels, and the Lebanese Hezbollah, the U.S. Navy is deploying a large number of warships around the Middle East. The problem is that these deployments are incompatible with the effective deterrence of China. The Chinese military is training for a range of wartime contingencies […]
Vice President Kamala Harris’s pick of Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), the two-term governor of Minnesota, is a clear sign that this election cycle is going to be a get-out-the-base election rather than a coalition-building effort Democrats could have pursued if Harris had chosen Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) as her running mate. Mike Mikus, a Pennsylvania-based […]
In 1988, some of the biggest names in popular music, including Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and George Harrison, all in the latter stages of their respective careers, banded together to form a supergroup by the name of the Traveling Wilburys. They weren’t particularly influential, but they did make some fun records, buttressed by their formidable […]
With the unemployment rate jumping to 4.3% and November’s election outcome hanging in the balance, many eyes are focused on the Federal Reserve’s July decision not to cut interest rates. Let’s take a look at where it all stands. The Fed’s decision was accompanied by a strong promise that a cut would likely be delivered at its September meeting. […]
The United Nations has allowed antisemitism to blossom in its own agencies and councils, only to be surprised that those violent antisemitic thoughts turned into antisemitic actions. The United Nations has fired nine U.N. Relief and Works Agency staff members of the 19 who were investigated for allegedly taking part in Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, […]
In an act of stupidity, Vice President Kamala Harris has chosen Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) as her running mate for the presidential election. Make no mistake: This is a gift to former President Donald Trump and the Republican Party that they must seize with all their strength. For weeks, questions swirled regarding the white man […]
With Vice President Kamala Harris’s selection of extremist Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) as her running mate, both parties have now shown their middle fingers to large swaths of Middle America. Harris’s gesture, though, is more pronounced and more contemptuous. Former President Donald Trump made a mistake on numerous fronts, including political, when he chose Sen. […]
At the close of the Supreme Court’s last term, Justice Neil Gorsuch concurred in the court’s 6-3 decision discarding the 40-year-old Chevron doctrine, which required Article III judges to defer to federal agencies when Congress’s statutory language is ambiguous. Gorsuch noted while “sophisticated entities” can hire lawyers and lobbyists to “keep pace” with ever-changing regulatory […]
Hope that the farthest-left senator in the Democratic Party would govern as a centrist if she secured the presidency was dashed Tuesday when Vice President Kamala Harris chose Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), who has been endorsed by socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), as her running mate. The most socialist, anti-Israel, pro-terrorist members of the Democratic […]
Vice President Kamala Harris offered the most tangible evidence that her supposed pivot to the center is nothing more than a contrived narrative when she announced Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) as her running mate. Since Harris announced her candidacy barely two weeks ago following President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race, her campaign has backed […]
