After purposely burying the Biden family scandal ahead of the 2020 presidential election, the media has been forced into covering an open, criminal investigation into Hunter Biden. The investigation was officially confirmed by the Delaware U.S. Attorney earlier this month after being revealed by Hunter himself. This "revelation" came despite it being blatantly obvious in October an investigation was underway. We knew this because a computer repair shop owner turned a laptop belonging to Hunter over to the FBI after it was never picked up. The contents of the hard drive signaled criminal behavior. This included the contents of the...

The enrollment and financial woes of the State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) are well known. And fixing the mess will be a monumental challenge, concludes an analysis by the Allegheny Institute for Public Policy. The 14-school system’s enrollment has plunged by 21 percent from its 2010 peak of 119,513 students. But while the student census has, on net, fallen precipitously, commensurate reductions in faculty, other staffing and standalone institutions that kept costs unacceptably high were not considered. Until recently, that is. The terrible financial picture at PASSHE reflects two major causes, notes Jake Haulk, president-emeritus of the Pittsburgh think...

With little fanfare and next to no media coverage, an obscure rule change from the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) could lead to big changes for America’s electric grid. FASB’s proposed changes to federally recognized accounting standards may enable utilities to hide the upfront cost of tens of billions of dollars in bad renewable energy and battery deals, making these projects appear misleadingly profitable on paper through rosy long-term projections of leasing income. These changes will also grease the wheels for regulated utilities to adopt more risky renewable contracts and saddle their customers with the costs. Ironically, the standards being...

Given all of the well-known benefits to eating eggs—which range from boosting your immune system to helping you lose weight to improving your cognitive health—you may have wondered if it's possible to eat too many of them.

Christmas in California has effectively been cancelled by Emperor Gavin Newsom. And now it looks like here in L.A. we're going to be locked in our basements by the local yahoos in charge until February. But the continuing destruction of normal social and economic life in California in the name of fighting the COVID-19 pandemic is old news. Instead, let's talk about the yahoos in Washington who are continuing to screw up the whole country. The federal yahoos, it's no surprise, are the slippery politicians in Congress. Mostly Democrats but also some Republicans, for a decade they haven't had the...

Every new year's eve we have a family tradition; we get a big box of chocolates and we get in a circle and tell the stories of the most memorable fun we had as a family. These stories are stored in a memory book to be retold to the future generations. We give thanks to God for our blessings. We savor the sweetness of the chocolate to remind us that life can be sweet. Then we review the events that were very hard but that we got through. We discuss that at the end of the year we write our...

President-elect Joe Biden said Republicans will have "much more room to run and cooperate" after President Donald Trump leaves the White House. In an interview with CBS 'Late Show' host Stephen Colbert, Biden said he doesn't blame Republicans who have been slow to congratulate his win and believes Trump's hold over the party will become less of a barrier to cooperation. "I think I can work with Republican leadership in the House and the Senate, I think we can get things done, and I think once this president is no longer in office, I think you're going to see his...

Lord Sumption, who served as a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom until 2018, has branded lockdowns “useless” and a “profoundly immoral” imposition on the young ... We are forever being told not to blow it now by throwing away our past efforts. Truth is, our past efforts have been useless,” he claimed. The 72-year-old jurist suggested that successive waves of national lockdowns, tiered regional lockdowns, and so on have only reduced infections by “shifting them into a later period” and “That is why we are where we are now.” ... The judge also questioned the moral...
