President Biden on Monday joked about serving two terms — despite his tanking approval ratings — when an owner of the visiting champion Milwaukee Bucks basketball team suggested players would like to visit for eight years in a row. “I think that’s a good idea!” said Biden as he flashed a knowing smile and pointed approvingly toward the NBA team’s co-owner Marc Lasry. Lasry, a billionaire hedge fund manager, had flattered the president with the notion as he spoke on the White House driveway in celebration of his team’s NBA championship. “Hopefully we’ll come back here next year, sir, and...

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Political appointees in the Trump administration relied on faulty science to justify stripping habitat protections for the imperiled northern spotted owl, U.S. wildlife officials said Tuesday as they struck down a rule that would have opened millions of acres of forest in Oregon, Washington and California to potential logging. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reversed a decision made five days before Trump left office to drastically shrink so-called critical habitat for the spotted owl. The small, reclusive bird has been in decline for decades as old-growth forests disappear. The Associated Press obtained details on Tuesday’s...

On Saturday morning, James O’Keefe was awoken to the FBI banging on his door to conduct a predawn raid at his home as a continuation of an investigation surrounding Ashley Biden’s diary. O’Keefe was thrown against a wall, handcuffed, and forced to allow the confiscation of many confidential reporter notes and source identities. In a Fox News interview, O’Keefe described the events of this raid: “There were 10 FBI agents with a battering ram… they turned me around, handcuffed me, and threw me against the hallway. I was partially clothed in front of my neighbors. They confiscated my phone, they...

Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday denounced the singling out of Israel “because of anti-Jewish hatred” in a speech at the Anti-Defamation League’s annual Never Is Now conference. “Three years ago, we suffered the most deadly attack on the American Jewish community in the history of our nation at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,” Harris said, according to prepared remarks Harris’s office released ahead of her appearance at the virtual conference on Sunday evening. "And I want to be very clear about this: When Jews are targeted because of their beliefs or their identity when Israel is...

The significance of Virginia Lt. Governor-elect Winsome Sears' victory cannot be overstated. But her victory is significant not only because she is a Black woman and the "first" of her race and gender to hold the office of lieutenant governor in Virginia, but also because she has been described as an anti-racist. Sears does not buy into a victimhood that characterizes the Democratic Party's view of people of color. In her victory address, she said: "I'm telling you that what you are looking at is the American dream." I recall seeing white racists jeering at Black students integrating a high...

First, a little history. World War I ("The Great War"), which claimed the lives of nearly 40 million human beings (including nearly 117,000 Americans killed and more than 300,000 sick and wounded), ended with a mutually accepted cease-fire on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918. One year later, Nov. 11, 1919, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson declared the date to be "Armistice Day." Many of our allies in "The War to End All Wars" called it "Remembrance Day." In 1926, Congress resolved to make every "Armistice Day" an occasion of "national observance." In 1938,...

Respected medical journal the British Medical Journal (BMJ) has reported on alleged data integrity issues with clinical trials that were carried out for Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine.The report was based on information sent from a whistleblower that was backed up by others who worked on the trial.

COVID-19 vaccine mandates are too serious an issue for President Joe Biden to take on alone through an executive order, so the courts may reject them unless they're backed by federal legislative authority, Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz said in a panel discussion. "I think there are serious constitutional and statutory issues but particularly as to the right of the president," Dershowitz, who appeared with legal experts Victoria Toensing, the former chief counsel of the Senate Intelligence Committee, and with former U.S. Attorney Joe diGenova." "I don't know of any case where so serious a mandate has been imposed...

Law enforcement has taken little action as backers of Donald Trump aim stark threats at election officials. Reuters tracked down nine of the harassers. Most were unrepentant.

The White House announced Thursday morning that the deadline for federal contractors to receive their vaccinations is being pushed back to Jan. 4, 2022. The change aligns the contractor deadline with new requirements from the Department of Labor's Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for certain private employees and from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for healthcare workers at their facilities. The White House says that moving the deadline from Dec. 8 into early next year is meant to provide clarity across various requirements, and isn't a response to current labor crunches and the upcoming holiday season. "We wanted...

President Joe Biden's popularity continues to decline, with more Americans opposed to the Democratic commander-in-chief seeking another term in 2024 than his predecessor Donald Trump running again. USA Today and Suffolk University released new polling data on Sunday, showing Biden's approval rating sinking to a new low. It also revealed that Republicans are currently favored over Democrats ahead of the 2022 midterms. When asked if they wanted Biden to run again in the 2024 presidential election, 64 percent of respondents expressed their opposition to him doing so. That included 28 percent of Democrats.

At the end of the first week of the Glasgow climate summit, 100,000 protesters marched to denounce the attendees as phonies who will never honor their commitments to curb carbon emissions. Despite pledges by 100 nations to reduce methane emissions by 30% by 2030, and by 20 nations, including the U.S., to end financing of new international fossil-fuel power plants, teenage climate superstar activist Greta Thunberg says the COP26 summit is a con: "Two weeks of business as usual, blah, blah, blah!" Thunberg has a point. Commitments made in Scotland are not binding upon governments that, be they autocratic or...

If the Democrats' tax-and-spend reconciliation bill is enacted, the average top tax rate on personal income would rise to 57.4 percent, according to the Tax Foundation. This would give the U.S. the highest tax rate in the developed world, and stick all 50 states with a combined federal-state tax rate higher than 50 percent. The combined federal and state top marginal income tax rates for each state under the Democrat bill are listed below. Please visit the Tax Foundation website for a handy map of the below rates compiled by Alex Durante and William McBride: New York: 66.2% California: 64.7%...

On this date in 1942, a boyishly handsome G.I. named Edward Joseph “Eddie” Leonski was hanged at Pentridge Prison in Melbourne, Australia. Although his crimes were committed in Australia and were not war-related, he was court-martialed and sentenced to die under American military law. This was the first and last time a foreign national who committed crimes in Australia was tried and sentenced under the laws of their own country. Eddie was only the second U.S. serviceman to be executed in World War II. (The first, James Rowe, had been convicted of murdering another soldier and was hanged in Arizona...
