The company notably completed a deal in 2016 that saw a Congo cobalt and copper mine transfer from American company Freeport-McMoRan to Chinese outfit China Molybdenum...

WASHINGTON — Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland today formally established a process to review and replace derogatory names of the nation’s geographic features. She also declared “squaw” to be a derogatory term and ordered the Board on Geographic Names – the federal body tasked with naming geographic places – to implement procedures to remove the term from federal usage. "Racist terms have no place in our vernacular or on our federal lands. Our nation’s lands and waters should be places to celebrate the outdoors and our shared cultural heritage – not to perpetuate the legacies of oppression,” said Secretary...

The reaction from the left to the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse tells you all you need to know about the left’s regard for the rule of law and due process.

And, of course, more COVID silliness.

In Isaiah 52:14 it says, As many were astonished at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men. Do you know what that means, Jesus was so disfigured until he did not even look like a man. And yet in Isaiah 53:10 it says, Yet it pleased The Lord to bruise him (crush...

I owe the jurors in the Kyle Rittenhouse case a big apology. I was certain that, faced with the leftist mob's intimidation, they would find Kyle guilty. Instead, based upon overwhelming evidence that Kyle acted in self-defense, they acquitted him on all charges.

Hunter Biden’s investment firm helped broker a 2016 deal that gave a Chinese state-backed company control of a massive African mine rich in cobalt — a mineral essential for the production of electric car batteries. The deal, first reported by the Washington Free Beacon during the 2020 presidential campaign, was spotlighted by the New York Times Saturday as Congress inches closer to approving President Biden’s $2 trillion social spending plan, which earmarks billions of dollars to promote electric vehicles.

Dr. Anthony Fauci is a “sociopath” and “narcissist” who deserves to be in jail based on his “lie of omission” in January 2020 alone, Peter Navarro told Breitbart News Saturday, outlining one of the central goals of his book In Trump Time, one of which is to “get Fauci fired and in jail.” Navarro, who served as director of Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy (OTMP) under former President Trump, walked through his experience with the White House Chief medical adviser, as detailed in his book, which should be on the New York Times’ bestseller list but will not be,...
