President Joe Biden should prioritize American energy independence and end reliance on adversaries such as Russia, Venezuela, and Iran, 27 state financial officers say in a letter Tuesday to the president. In their letter, they urge Biden to consider the consequences of foreign energy dependence for U.S. businesses and consumers. “Policies implemented during the last year thwart the vitality of American energy production,” the financial officers’ letter to Biden reads. “The rising cost of fuel, coupled with precipitous inflation has, and will, continue to result in dire consequences for working-class families.” The 27 state-level officials are part of the State...

J.D. Vance, a New York Times best-selling author, is tied for first place in the Ohio GOP Senate primary race, a new poll shows. The Protect Ohio Values PAC poll, released on Wednesday, finds that Vance has gained four points since February — running at 18 percent and tied with fellow Republicans Mike Gibbons and Josh Mandel, who are also at 18 percent. Most significant, though, is that the poll shows Gibbons stagnating with 18 percent after having failed to gain any traction since February, whereas Vance and Mandel have each risen to the top of the pack among the...

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease director Anthony Fauci, on a recent interview on CNN with host Chris Wallace, said the former president, Donald Trump, was to blame for many, oh so many — how many? He wouldn’t say — but many, oh so many deaths tied to COVID-19. But the Great Obfuscater once again hid behind his obfuscating ways. He blamed Trump in a way that still allowed him a way to deny he blamed Trump. [cut] Wallace asked Fauci “if the government had been smarter right from the start … could we have had a lot fewer...

A federal judge has denied a defense bid to have Ed Buck’s convictions for providing the drugs that killed two men in his West Hollywood apartment overturned on the grounds that the government used evidence of the defendant’s sexual fetishes to unfairly prejudice the jury, according to court papers obtained Tuesday. U.S. District Judge Christina Snyder heard arguments Monday and took the matter under submission, saying she needed time to examine some of the defense arguments before ruling on the acquittal motion. Her written ruling was filed later that day. Sentencing is scheduled for April 14. Buck faces between 20...

Miniature brain models helped study autism 4.3 Austrian scientists used miniature models of the human brain — organoids — to study a form of autism associated with mental retardation and macrocephaly. It turned out that the mutation of one gene leads to an earlier and more active formation of neurons, and inhibitory neurons appear first. Several hundred genes are associated with autism spectrum disorders. The main symptoms of autism are difficulties with social interaction, limited interests, and frequently repetitive behavioral responses. In some patients with this diagnosis, the symptoms are mild, while other people may experience serious difficulties during their...

The end will be cold. Up the mountain, set adrift upon an ice flow, or shuttled away in silence, geronticide of The Big Man draws nigh. His days may count less than one hundred. Prepare to say goodbye. His pack of hyenas have turned their backs. Hunter, the crack addict and traitor, will be sacrificed roughly, afforded less respect than a lonesome goat. The Bidens hold no value for the party. The Bidens are white, and a liability. As for "The Big Man," the Japanese call it ubasute. To carry an old woman up a mountain and leave her to...

Election integrity activists used geospatial technology to track the ballot harvesters’ cellphones to precise locations. Catherine Engelbrecht, founder of True the Vote, told Newsweek in...

US Energy companies cannot pursue new sources of oil and natural gas. I guess Biden wants Russia to kill more Ukrainians since the world is so dependent on Russian energy. I have no kind words for this president. Trump had the US on the verge of being a world leader in energy production. Now the US is being badly hurt by DICTATOR Biden and his evil son HUNTER. Putin gave the world a recent ultimatum to start putting Rubles in Russian state banks to buy Russian oil. And this has raised the price of the Ruble. Maybe IDIOT is the...

One of the most prominent points made by supporters of the political prisoners arrested following the mostly peaceful protest at the Capitol Building on January 6, 2021, is that tons of video evidence shows law enforcement officers ushering in the protesters. If these people were breaking the law, doesn’t that mean the police were breaking it with them by pulling down the barricades, opening the doors, and ushering them in? Are we not supposed to listen to the instructions of law enforcement? This premise was tested with glorious results for January 6 defendant Matthew Martin. According to Sean Davis: This...
