Russia could use savage superweapons that vaporize bodies and crush internal organs if their assault of Ukraine becomes bogged down, Western officials warned tonight. They fear Vladimir Putin could resort to high-power thermobaric weapons - dubbed the 'father of all bombs' - as brave Ukrainians resist his attempts to take control of Kyiv. There are also concerns that units that are running behind schedule as they encounter stiff opposition could resort to indiscriminate shelling as a terror weapon. Thermobaric weapons - also known as vacuum bombs - are high-powered explosive that use the atmosphere itself as part of the explosion....

James Madison once warned that the "accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, ... may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny." Unfortunately, the modern Environmental Protection Agency – with a little help from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit – seems determined to ignore Madison’s message. Under a plan launched by the Obama administration, EPA claimed the power to reorder industries in the name of climate change. EPA believed it could shut down power plants, force power companies to invest in their competitors, and take otherwise extreme measures never before...

Like many prominent Republican senators, Josh Hawley says he’s not running for president. Ted Cruz isn’t so sure about that. “There’s a long history of senators in both parties claiming they’re not running for president, then miraculously having a change in opinion,” Cruz said when asked about Hawley and others’ demurrals. “I’m not sure I would take anybody in either party at face value on that one.” In a chamber crowded with ambitious Republicans seeking to command the conservative lane should former President Donald Trump pass on a 2024 run, Hawley and Cruz stick out. They waged separate challenges to...

During resident Joe Biden’s first State of the Union address, he may choose to declare victory over COVID-19. For sure, case rates, hospitalizations, and deaths from COVID have fallen dramatically in recent weeks, and we should give the Biden Administration credit for utilizing President Donald Trump’s successful development of safe and effective vaccines to vaccinate close to 70 percent of all eligible Americans. The appropriate question to pose at this juncture, however, is at what cost has victory been won? When one examines Biden’s "victory" in detail, to include the tally of COVID cases and fatalities, its impact on the...
