Working-class Americans are paying a heavy price for their elites’ moral posturing. As gasoline prices in the US continue to surge to an unprecedented $7 a gallon in some places, President Joe Biden seems more interested in finding someone to blame than mitigating the problem. ‘Make no mistake, inflation is largely the fault of [Russian president Vladimir] Putin’, the president said on Friday at the House Democratic Caucus Issues Conference. The president then cited a ‘fact checker’ in the New York Times and a Washington Post op-ed to counter anyone daring to lay the blame for skyrocketing prices at the...

While Americans remain divided over whether we should expand our involvement in Ukraine to direct military intervention, possibly causing the world to descend into a Fallout-style apocalyptic wasteland, Americans were able to unite over one issue: whether we should send Mitt Romney to the frontlines to fight against Russia. The poll was taken shortly after Romney strongly advocated for escalating conflict with Russia over the ongoing invasion of Ukraine. Of those polled, 99.9% agreed with the statement "Mitt Romney should be sent to the battlefront, issued a rifle, and fight in the war he continues to call for." "He obviously...

MADISON, Wis. — Over the last 50 years, the average temperature on St. Patrick’s Day in Madison has increased by more than 3 degrees. Madison isn’t alone; close to 97% of weather stations in the United States have seen an increase in average spring temperatures since 1970 (data collected from the Applied Climate Information System). Climate change may have a big impact on the unofficial drink of St. Patrick’s Day: beer. Three of the key ingredients are quite fragile when it comes to rising temperatures and prolonged drought. Large qualities of water are required to brew beer; water makes up...

US President Joe Biden is facing criticism after another gaffe that referenced his Irish heritage. Speaking on St Patrick's Day, the President, whose great-great-grandfather was born in Co Mayo, was captured on video making a rather unfortunate remark given the day that was in it. As he addressed attendees of a St Patrick's Day reception in the White House, Mr Biden is heard saying: "I may be Irish, but I'm not stupid."

Republicans {question} whether the U.S. government played a role in the pandemic by funding "gain of function" research that allowed scientists to supercharge viruses in laboratories.... You may have heard that Obama banned gain-of-function research. You probably also heard that Fauci overturned this ban by creating a new definition of "gain of function" which would allow gain of function research to continue, by calling it something else. You probably heard that happened during Trump's presidency. But do you know when in Trump's presidency that happened? He did it during the presidential transition when he knew that there was a lot...

MADISON, Wis. — Chandler Halderson will spend the rest of his life in prison without the possibility of parole for the killing and dismemberment of his parents, Dane County Judge John Hyland ruled Thursday. “I have to, for this sentence, ensure that the only time Mr. Halderson comes back into the community is to have the privilege of a burial that he denied his parents,” Judge Hyland said as he handed down the sentence. Prior to the sentence, Halderson spoke publicly for the first time, stating his intent to appeal the case, while also saying his lack of comments should...

President Joe Biden celebrated St. Patrick’s Day on Thursday, joking about his Irish heritage during a speech on Capitol Hill. “Father, before I begin — bless me, Father, for I’m about to sin,” he said as he began his speech by crossing himself and addressing the priest in the room. “I, well, I just want you to know, I may be Irish, but I’m not stupid.”

Some upsets this morning. Should only get better. Concludes w/ Championships on Saturday night.

MNTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Alabama lawmakers advanced a bill Thursday that would ban “divisive concepts” in classroom lessons and worker training, including the idea that people should feel guilt because of their race. The bill is part of a conservative effort to limit how race and gender are taught in classrooms and worker training session, but that Black lawmakers called an endeavor to whitewash the nation’s history. The Alabama House of Representatives approved the bill on a 65-32 vote that largely fell along along party lines. The measure now moves to the Alabama Senate. The bill by Republican Rep. Ed...

Whoopi Goldberg said Thursday on ABC’s “The View” that Republicans who criticize President Joe Biden’s response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine should answer for their support of former President Donald Trump’s dealings with Ukraine. Goldberg introduced a clip montage Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) critiquing Biden.

Explanation: A mere 11 million light-years away, Centaurus A is the closest active galaxy to planet Earth. Spanning over 60,000 light-years, the peculiar elliptical galaxy also known as NGC 5128, is featured in this sharp telescopic view. Centaurus A is apparently the result of a collision of two otherwise normal galaxies resulting in a fantastic jumble of star clusters and imposing dark dust lanes. Near the galaxy's center, leftover cosmic debris is steadily being consumed by a central black hole with a billion times the mass of the Sun. As in other active galaxies, that process likely generates the enormous...

The Russia-Ukraine crisis has rapidly been established by Western commentators as a tipping point in global affairs, supposedly signifying a new world order. This is largely addressed from two archaic angles. First, a deepening of existing world order, with America and Europe aligned on one side, and Russia and China aligned on the other. Second, the fear that the West is losing its grip on the world, and that is a significant threat to global security. There is however a more contemporary angle that is being missed: amid the tragedy, the birth of a new world order that may be...

Back Again: German Bishops "Allow" Lethal InjectionGermany is in the process of enforcing assisted suicide ("euthanasia") after their Constitutional Court claimed in February 2020 that the ban on "businesslike euthanasia" contradicts a "right to self-determination".The bishops and protestants in Lower Saxony and Bremen published an "ecumenical declaration" on this on 16 March, signed by Bishops Bode (Osnabrück), Wilmer (Hildesheim) and Theising (Münster auxiliary bishop).They justify assisted suicide in individual cases [= always], "Whether in borderline and emergency situations an assisted suicide can be tolerated in church houses cannot be answered in a general way" [= it is allowed].Wilmer (Hildesheim) said...

On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “New Day,” Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm called for “everyone to step up, whether it’s gas station owners, whether it’s oil companies” to increase energy supply and said there is “concern about whether there is profiteering happening at the gas station level, as well as at the oil company level.”

President Joe Biden’s deputies are taking $377 million from GOP-run heartland states to aid landlords in four Democrat-run states that use illegal migration to inflate their economies, according to a report in the New York Times. White House officials have already pressured governors in states to shift $875 million for poor renters into urban districts, the newspaper reported March 16, adding:
