Anyone else sick and tired of hearing so-called political experts predict that Democrats are going to lose badly in this year's midterms? Apparently it doesn’t matter that in President Joe Biden’s first year, 6.6 million new jobs were reported, the strongest first year of job gains of any president since our government began collecting such data in 1939. Nor does it appear to matter that unemployment is down from 6.7 percent in former President Donald Trump’s last full month in office to 3.8 percent and that wages are up 5 percent over the past year.

The Hungarian Prime Minister made it clear that the extension of sanctions to the energy sector is going to put a disproportionate burden on people, households and companies...

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has laid bare the world’s dependence on Russian President Vladimir Putin and its neighbor now under siege, including the fact that the two countries supply much of the grain needs around the globe and prices for grain are now the highest they have been in six decades. Russia and Ukraine provide 29 percent of global wheat exports, 19 percent of global corn supplies, and 80 percent of the global sunflower oil exports

White House National Economic Council director Brian Deese on Wednesday addressed the notion of increasing the use of domestic energy to stem the rising gas prices. Deese argued on CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street” that “no amount of domestic production we can do to reduce” global prices. He suggested the only way to fix prices would be “shifting to cleaner sources of energy.”

Former President Donald Trump was forced to make an emergency landing on Saturday after a plane he was traveling on suffered engine failure, according to reports. Politico reports, citing “two people familiar with the matter” that the incident occurred after Trump concluded his speech to donors in New Orleans and left to return to his home at Mar-a-Lago.

A Kansas middle school teacher who was disciplined for refusing to use a student’s preferred first name and gender pronouns is suing the school district. Fort Riley Middle School math teacher Pamela Ricard said in a federal lawsuit filed Monday that the Geary County School District violated her constitutional rights and did not accommodate her Christian beliefs when it suspended her for three days. The district did not immediately return messages left Wednesday seeking comment on the lawsuit. The school is located in Fort Riley, a U.S. Army base that’s 130 miles (210 kilometers) west of Kansas City. Ricard, who...

A man who made bank being a dead ringer for Vladimir Putin claims he fears for his life after the Russian president ordered a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Slawek Sobola, 53, has spent the past eight years professionally impersonating 69-year-old Putin — and has traveled to the US, the UK and Hong Kong for special gigs. Sobola — who hails from the city of Wroclaw in southwestern Poland — told the Daily Star he has earned “good money” parodying the president, but is now concerned that locals will turn on him.

BAY SHORE, N.Y. -- Charles Edward Entenmann, who helped turn his family's New York-based bakery into a national brand, died in Florida at age 92. Entenmann died Feb. 24 in Hialeah, his son, Charles William Entenmann, told Newsday. ...

UNITED NATIONS — Russia’s “illegal, unprovoked” and “cruel” war against Ukraine is underscoring the many different ways in which peace, security and a stable climate are linked, U.S. climate envoy John Kerry said Wednesday. The United States is responding by banning the import of Russian oil, liquefied natural gas and coal, “and many other nations are now rethinking their reliance on Russian energy sources,” Kerry said. The “instability, conflict, death destruction” in Ukraine is happening in the context of “a global existential crisis” of global warming that scientists have warned about for decades, he said. “We are actually living through...

An intelligent U.S. president assessing the current energy situation would conclude that now might be a good time to loosen regulations on oil and gas drilling, rethink the Keystone XL Pipeline project and maybe open up drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. After all, the world has suddenly become a more dangerous place, and energy independence is essential to national security. Nope. With oil prices at record highs, and likely heading higher, the Biden administration refuses to put the brakes on its anti-fossil-fuels agenda. President Joe Biden and his minions have made it clear they’re not about to let...

Like many of the biggest groups of the early 1970s, Steely Dan grew up under the shadow of The Beatles. When Donald Fagen and Walter Becker came together in 1971, the pioneering group had already been broken up for more than a year. They may have wondered if they had somehow absorbed the ghost of ‘The Fab Four’ and that it was their responsibility to carry the flame in their absence. Indeed, Fagen and Becker intentionally modelled themselves off The Beatles, choosing to emphasise writing and recording than relentless touring. However, Steely Dan could also be highly critical of The...

The researchers used advanced computer modeling techniques and diagnostic measurement devices honed at the Lab to solve a decades-old problem of distinguishing neutrons produced by thermonuclear reactions from ones produced...

WASHINGTON — The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol on Tuesday laid out its theory for potential criminal charges against former President Donald Trump, arguing before a federal judge that he and conservative lawyer John C. Eastman were involved in a conspiracy to perpetrate a fraud on the American public as part of a plan to overturn the 2020 election. The allegations, which the committee first leveled against the men last week in response to a lawsuit filed by Eastman, could determine just how deeply the panel can dig into emails, correspondence and other documents of...

“He Was Numbered among the Transgressors” (Luke 22:14, 24-38) This reading from Luke 22 is like watching a car wreck as it’s starting to happen. You can see the danger signs that could lead up to a crash, and if it keeps going like that, something bad is about to happen. The apostles, Jesus’ handpicked inner circle, are there with him in the upper room. And there’s sort of a back-and-forth between Jesus and these disciples. But it’s painful to watch; it’s even frightening. Evil is at work in the events leading up to Jesus’ suffering and death, and, in...

MOSCOW, March 9. /TASS/. Moscow believes that Washington needs to inform the international community about the military biological programs that were implemented in Ukraine, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a briefing on Wednesday. "We confirm that the facts that came to the light during Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine point to the Kiev regime’s attempts to urgently cover up the traces of military biological programs," she noted. "It was not about peaceful scientific research because these programs were financed by the US Department of Defense," she added. "We believe that the US Department of Defense and...

Putin’s lapdog Sergei Lavrov has landed in Turkey to meet Kyiv’s foreign minister for talks on Thursday for the first time since Russia’s lawless invasion of Ukraine. The Russian foreign secretary will negotiate with Dmytro Kuleba at the southern Turkish resort city of Antalya at a summit mediated by Ankara’s foreign minister Mevlut Cavusoglu. Moscow and Kyiv’s meeting in the NATO country will be the highest-level diplomatic encounter since the Kremlin launched a full-scale operation to ‘demilitarise’ and ‘deNazify’ Ukraine – dismissed as baseless pretexts by Kyiv and her Western partners, including Britain and the US. While Turkey has supplied...

he oil market has been stretched incredibly thin, with few producers willing — or able — to replace Russian barrels banned by the United States and shunned by others. Enter the United Arab Emirates, which suggested it may be coming to the rescue. The UAE's ambassador to Washington, Yousef Al Otaiba, told CNN Wednesday that the country wants to increase oil production and will encourage the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) cartel to ramp up supply. Otaiba's comments sent oil prices dropping like a rock Wednesday. US oil fell 12% to $108 a barrel. Brent crude, the global...
